THE CITY,s LOGS.
How They Will BE Sawed Now That
Two Mills Are Gone.

How They Will BE Sawed Now That
Two Mills Are Gone.
The Lumberman, in speaking about
the burning of two of the citys big saw
mills-the Diamond and McMullen-
says that good deal of figuring is be-
ing done as to how the work they were
to have done is to be accomplished.
The cut will not be greatly di-
minished by reason of the fires.
1t has already been determined that a
night crew will he put in the HOrr mill,
and the logs of N. p. Clarke 4 Co. that
would have gone to the burned McMul-
len mill, from l3.OOU,OOO to 15,OO0OO0
feet, will be sawed there. The Ply
mouth mill will keep its night crew
throughout the season and between the
two mills it is thought the Clarke logs
can be accommodated.
The Nelson L Tenney mills have al
ready sawed a considerable amount for
n. p. Clarke g. Co. The logs in the
pond of the fated Diamond mills were
turned to the Nelson IL Tenney mills.
About 3,00O,000 feet of the Bardwel-
Robinson logs remained to be cut, and
these will doubtless all be sawed by
Nelson IL Tenney, as the logs are at
hand and this firm has contracted
to saw what Bardwell- Robinson
logs come in during the next
six weeks. The logs of w. S.
Hill u Co. that are now this side of
Anoka, will be sawed here by the Horr
mill and Nelson IL Tenney. Those at
AnOka will be held there and cut by
Page Bros. The lumber will be piled
there and wholesale yard opened there
by W. 5. Hill IL Co., the lumber being
sold from this point. About 100000
feet of the Hill logs will be cut there
and about 100000 feet here. The
Bovey-DeLaittre mill will put on night
crew and saw for HI. f. Brown and W.

Minneapolis Announces That She
Is the Head of Navigation.
By boom of cannon Minneapolis has
with the action OF congress making
Minneapolis the official end of naviga-
ton OH the Mississippi river.
1t was done last night. The business
mems union fathered the celebration.
1t took place Oh the lower end of the
old haymarket, between Second and
Third avenues south. And it was not
the sort of celebration, after all, which
will be treasured up in memory and eX-
planned to the children of generations
yet unborn.
The local battery, commended by
Capt. Bennett, marched down to the old
haymarket trailing couple of field
pieces. The guns were unlimbered, and
the sleepy-lOoking horses taken to one
side and held by sleepy-looking young
men in blue. A few hundred non
descripts, few of whom wore an appear
ance indicating that they were the solid
and patriotic citizens of the town,
gathered around. The guns were loaded
with powder and pointed at the ex-
position building. Capt. Bennett gave
the order to fire. and the one OH the
right went off with bang. All the
spectatos shut their eyes and
lodged. those closest to the artillery
dropped back step and man Che
must have lbeen.a farce comedian(
yelled, Never touched him." Then
the gun Oh the left was fired. Then the
gun OIL the right was fired again. The
gun on the left followed suit. That
programme was kept up until fifty
rounds had been burned. Then the
artillery was limbered up again and the
horses dragged it back to the armory.
Through all the bombardment Capt. j.
c. Reno stood far back in the crowd,
occasionally glanced around furtively,
as if ashamed to be seen there, and shut
his eyes every time gun was fired.
The celebration was a "corker," but
not ''cracker-jack."

THE MILL ASSESSMENTS.
The Millers Meet With the Board
DECENTRALIZATION.

The millerS and the board of equal
iZation held an interesting meeting to-
gether yesterday morning. The millers
met to protest against what they termed
unfair assessments by the assessor,
based upon his own deductions, the
millers themselves having declined to
render him any assistance or figures.
The smaller milling institutions had
sent in their lists, but according to the
assessors way of thinking they were
altogether too low. The larger concerns
had not sent in returns at all, so that
they have no one to blame but them
selves if their assessments are too high.
j. b. BaSsett, of the Consolidated
Milling company: t. "A. .Sammis. of
Morse d Sammis; Mr.. Hubbard. of the
PillSburyW WaShburn, and q. Schaber. OF
the Phoenix, were among those who en-
tered protests against arbitrary and eX-
cessive assessments. Mr.. Plummer,
they said. had overestimated their per-
Sonal property to large extent, also
had OvereStimated the daily capacity OF
the mills. Mr.. Plumlner stated that in
asInuch as he could secure no figures
from the millers themselves, he was
forced to take the published milling
statistics as basis of calculation. He
might be high In some instances, but
the matter was open to remedy.
The outcome or the meeting was that
it was agreed that Mr.. Plummer should
send one of his assessors to the varou.
mills and ascertain correctly what their
actual capacity would be for month,
ard the assessments will be made ac-
cordingly. The real estate valuation of
the milling property in the city is SS2,-
2O6, 600: the valuation of the buildings is
SS5,566.57O, making the total sl2O, ,773, $40.

A CITY'S BUILDING.
Inspector Hazen's Report for the
Past Six Months.

Past Six Months.
The semi-annual report of the work
of the building inspectors department
has just been issued by MIR. Hazen. 1t
is well worth peruslng, for it contains
many valuable, as well as interesting,
building figures. During the past six
months the total number of building
permits issued was l,7O6. which repre-
sented an estimated cost of $500. $50.
Nine examinations of dangerous build
ings were made and 267 moving permits
granted. The plumbers apparently were
kept busy, for 592 plumbing permits were
issued, representing cost of S142.455.
Five different parties had been notified
TO erect fire escapes on their buildings;
1853 electric wiring permits, estimated
sol. .751, had been issued; 6O9 inspections
of wires had been made and lib con-
demned or ordered changed. The grand
total estimated cost of all permits is
80, ,S75,OS6.
The kinds of buildings erected during
these six months are as follows:
Twenty-siX brick stores. cost S659 800;
five yeneefed stores, $3.50; seventeen
wood stores, $3.50: sixty three miscel-
brick and stone dwellings, 1923, 600; five
veneered dwellings. Sl3,300; 444 two
story frame dwellings, 1854, ,050; forty
six one and a half-story frame dwell
ings, S36. 100: thirty-nine one-story frame
dwellings. SlS,575; 15S barns. S72,3U0;
l,07l additions and repairs, S39S, 700.
The largest number of irSt-class store
buildings were erected in the Third,
Fourth and Fifth wards, the business
portion of the city, while in brick and
stone dwellings, the Fourth, Fifth and
Eighth were in the lead. The Eighth
ward is also in the fore with two-story
frame dwellings, the report showing
that permits for sixty. at an estimated
amount of all the wards, were issued
for that ward. The next highest in
number in this category is the Tenth
ward, where new two-stOry frame
dwellings number thirty-one. The
Fifth ward, however, ranks higher in
valuation, the eleven permits taken out
being for dwellings to cost SCI 800
Every ward swung into line when it
came to barns. though, strange to say.
Aid. Gray's ward, the Thirteenth, is by
no means in the lead. Ills not alone
the farmers who need barns. The
Eighth again had the largest number.
thirty-three. whose estimated cost was
1850, which goes to show that the
residents are even fastidiouS in the mat
ter of barns.
The greatest amount of building of
all kinds was done IN the Third, Fourth.
Fifth and Eighth wards. and the least
in the Twelfth. Apropos of this the
following figures will be interesting,
showing as they do the total number of
permits and estimated cost of buildings
of each ward: First, 134 permits. cost

IN THE LAST STAGES.
Bills Finished by

WASHINGTON, July Is. - The last
stage of legislation was crossed in the
senate today as to three OF the princi-
pal appropriation bills-the legislative,
the navy and the army-the conference
reports in each of them having been
presented and agreed to. Nevertheless
it was found necessary to extent for
two weeks longer the joint resolution
of June 80 to provide for such expendi-
lures of the government as are not COW
cred by the bills already sent to the
president.
Most of the days session was spent
in the discussion OF the fortiication bill
particularly as to the construction of
breech-loading rifles, mortarS, and as to
the selection of a site on the Pacific
coast for all armory for the finishing
and assembling of ordnance. The bill
was finally passed, leaving only the de-
ficiency bill unacted upon by the SEN
ate, and notice was given that that bill
would be taken up tomorrow.

mended iactated' food, and we began
using it. The child grew better at once,
and, in short time, he was fat and
strong, the very picture of health. We
have fed him OH lactated food ever
since, and he has not been sick a single
day."
Mr.. Penney is superintendent of the
Pleasant street NJ. e. Sunday school,
and prominent in religious and cliarita.
BILE works. He feels that he can do no
better service to mothers, who, in this
dangerous season, are wondering what
Will become of their little ones, than to
recommend the food that saved his
child's life.
Lactated food is not a medicine, is
not secret preparation, is not an Ordi-
nary food. 1t is pure combination of
the nutritious elements OF the great
cereals, wheat and barley, to which
is added pure sugar of milk
and the salts found in mothers
milk, makiug the most perfect
nourishment for infants. Its prepara-
tion is entirely under the supervision of
no less man than Prof. Boynton. of
Vermont University. 1t has the hearty
Endorsement of the best physicians. and
has done wonders in gladdening the
hearts of mothers and fathers eyery-
where.
1t must be borne in mind that Iactated
fooG is SO inexpensive that it is within
the reach of every one. $50 meals can
be made from a dollar package, and the
food. as prepared for the use of infants,
will cost less than five cents quart. In
these July days, when cholera infantum
is so common, mo babe should be allowed

O'Connor Was Fined.

The outcome of the trial yesterday of
Mike O'Connor, who was arrested for
cruelty to animals in driving horse
until it dropped dead, will probably
prove lesson to people who exercise
no sense when they drive dumb AMI
mails. He was fined s75, with the option
of going to the workhOuse for ninety
days if he desired. He paid his fine.
Jack Mccullough, who was arrested
with O'Connor. was discharged. O'Con-
nor, with several companions, drove a
little horse in from Bass Lake several
days ago on the dead run. AS soon as
the poor brute reached the stable where
it belonged it dropped dead. O'Connor
had driven it to death.
