POOR BOARD OF HEALTH!
1t Claims That 1t Cannot Solve the
Garbage Question.

The garbage question seems to be
never-failing source of perpleXity to the
minneapolis board of health. Two
months ago it was thought that the
matter was settled and that the city'S
garbage would be taken to Brooklyn
township. and there cared for by Z. l..
YaW. On information obtained. pre-
sumably from the health commissioners,
an evening paper says:
'.The city is confronted with two per-
tinent inquiries: Where can the dumps
be located, and who will take the garb-
age?'
The location of dumps within the city
limits may be a difficult question to
solve, but as for the other, where does
the question come IN? Mr.. Yaw has
stood ready to receive and take care OF
the garbage any time these two months,
and has been willing TO give bond,
binding himself TO carry out this con-
tract. This same paper says, further
along:
This matter disposed of, it remains
to decide how the garbage can be dis
posed OF at the least cost to the city. Ii
the farmers throughout the state will
purchase it. well and good. But there's
the rub; manure is not in such demand
as it is in the East. The Eastern cities
experience no trouble whatever in sell
ing their night soil. 1t is disposed of
faster than it is produced. 1t is sng-
gested by the board here that if the
manure was sent to various districts, all
situated within radius of 100 miles of
Minneapolis, enough farmers could be
found to create a demand for it. The
plan of sending the garbage all to one
locality is not looked upon as likely to
be successful. 1t is estimated that the
city would furnish from fifteen to TWEEN
ty carloads of garbage day, anu it is
doubted if it would all find market.
In that event it would accumulate in
this one spot until it became a mound.
Mr.. Vow says it would not accnmu-
late. He says the Brooklyn farmers
will take care of it. AL he asks is that
the city ship the waste to him, a sort of
You pay the freight and We'll do the
rest proposition. The Great Northern
road is ready to haul the garbage. Why
should these questions, then, be so per-
picking? Under the old health COM
missioner. arrangements were per-
fected for caring for the garbage in Il
satisfactory manner. All the new board
of health had to do was to make the
contracts. A month has come and gone,
and the question remains where 1t was
under the old board. In fact. If pub
liShed statements are to be believed, the
question is even further from solution
than ever. Meanwhile summer is APP
preaching, and the city will again be-
come OdOrlferOuS.

THE !ATHENEUM.
A Gratifying Showing for This
Division of the Public Library.

A Gratifying Showing for This
Division of the Public Library.
The Atheneum Library association
yesterday held its twenty ninth annual
meeting. President }. S. Bell in his adj
dress said that the union of the Athe-
neum library with the city library had
proven highly satisfactory. The books
have received better care than ever be-
fore, and the library has proven of
greater usefulness. During the past
wear the average cost of books added to
the list has been $3.50. as against
Sl.25 for the city library. The
report shows an accession
of 1000 books during the year, making
a total of %, 900 books in the Atheneum
division as against II, 900 in the city di-
vision. The Atheneum is greatly in
debted to the trustees of the Spencer
fund, II. G. Harrison and the late
Franklin Beebe, who jointly managed
the property until the death of Mr..
Beebe. Since then Mr.. Harrison has
been the sole trustee of the property,
which, under his wise and careful man
agement, giving much time to the col
lection of rent and the renewal
of leases without one penny
of compensation, until it now
produces an annual income Of
of about $4,000 per annum, with several
leases to renew. 1t was with feelings
of deep regret that the directors ac
cepted the resignation of Bishop Nc
Golrlck, who has been valued member
of the board for many years.

treasurer. showed the balance on hand

DENOUNCED AS FALSE.
The Stonecutters OF Minneapolis
Are Not All Foreigners.

are NOt AL
The stonecutters of Minneapolis are
much incensed at the following state
ment, which appeared in recent num-
Der of the Building Trades Journal,
published at st. Louis:
"a remark made by Minneapolis con
tractor places in a strange light the tyranny
of the trades unions in the matter of ap-
preniiceshIps, and the need of manual train
ing schools in this country. SAID he, 1
will defy anybody to show me a firstclass
stone cutter. either in Minneapolis or st.
Paul, or yet in Chicago, that has learned his
trade in the United States; they are foreign
ers, every man Jack of them. They don't
want any Americans among them, and they
won't have them if they can keep them from
learning the trade"
The stonecutters say the above is
false and they would like to know the
name of the Minneapolis contractor
who is quoted. or the fifty-five stone
cutters in Minneapolis, they say that one
half of them learned their trade III the
United States, and there are now ten
apprentices in the city who are learning
the trade. The object in limiting the
number of apprentices is simply to pro-
tect the trade. If it was not done the
supply Of stonecutterS would soon eX-
coed the demand. and the remunera-
ton for very arduOuS occupation
would soon be lowered to degree that
would barely afford living wages. The
foreign StOnecutters, or rather thoSe
who learned their trade in other coun-
tres, to their credit have never shown
the least hostility to American work
men. For that matter the question OF
nationality has never shown It's nead
among the stonecutterS. The politicians
seem TO have monopoly of that issue.

HERE'S ANOTHER KICK.
Municipal Employees Complain
About City Treasurer Kort-

MunEclDaI EulDiOyeS Complain
About City Treasurer Kort-
gard.
The pranks which the weather clerk
has been playing upon the Northwest
ern climate for the past three months
has born fruit. Everybody kicks, and
not even the influence OF the recent cold
snap can wholly cure the public. As is
witnessed by the columns of the daily
papers, a large proportion Of the kick
ing has been done in the neighbOrhoOd
of the city hall. First the aldermen
took a hand in kicking one another; then
tile city employees stripped off their pin
azores and sailed into the salaries com
mttee and the city council. The alder
men came back with a ''wee-haw. Wee
haw" and display of heels that
startled the universe. But another
municipal official is now in for It.
He is getting it, too, also from
city employees, all because OF
some of the rules which he had
introduced into the management of his
office. This now much abused official is
City Treasurer Kortgaard. 1t was the
custom of the former occupants of that
Office to allow city employees to draw
money ahead on their salaries When
a police officer or other employee be-
came hard pressed for groceries. kero-
sene oil or kindIing wood he could 90 to
the city treasury and draw on his sal
airy. Now it is different. Mr.. Kort-
gard does not believe in dong business
thus loosely. When a servant of the
people desires 20 secure advance money
now he is compelled to give note for
the amount. The note is then dis
counted at regular rates the same as at
any bank. Hence the roar. And it is q
most luSty roar.

MORE OF THE HEN.
Some Of Her Good Qualities Men

Yesterday the congress of fowls
meeting at rs Washington avenue
north, under the auspices of the Mime
sofa State Poultry association, had been
reinforced by large arrivals from all
over the country. The din was plopor-
tionally increased The collection of
poultry reminds one of a political con-
vention-al talk at once, or attempt to
do so. The ROSTERS make the most
noise, but when some ambitious
hen, acting under instructions from
her owner undertakes to show off her
LAYING abilities. she lets out cackle
that at once places her in the front rank
among the silence chaSers. The cO0ps
are nearly all full, but the people don't
patronize the exhibition as they should.
The cold weather undoubtedly keeps
COON many away. B. N. Pierce, Of In
dianapois, who used to pass Judgment
on the poultry exhibits at Col. "BilP'
Kings fairs, is Judge here. He says
this is the largest and best poultry eX
hibit ever seen in the Northwest. While
looking over the fowls yesterday, Mr..
Pierce dropped much information con-
corning hens. This is his rule for pick
Ing out an industrious hen.

The street railway company is eXpe-
riencing a good deal of trouble on ac-
count of slippery tracks. When a
heavily-loaded elektric car starts and
there chances to be a little snow on the
rails, the wheels do some lively spin
ming. Thus a good deal of power is
wasted and delays often caused. APP
propos to this condition of affairs comes
John T. Griffin with an invention which
he has just patented, and which he
wishes to sell to the street railway COM
pany. The invention is a simple con-
trivance, consisting of a revolving
brush which is connected with the for
ward axle of the car by belt. AS the
the axle reYolves it sets the brushes to

wheels about foot wide. There is also
q box for sand or salt, which lets down
just enough without wasting any.
