rural thoroughfares as well as the pos

a small cost. At the request of the
G o b e, MIR. Forbes writes on the
same subject as follows:
Amy one at all familiar with the working
machinery of the various offices constituting
the executive government of the several coun-
ties within the boundaries Of this state must
apparently know with what loose and careless
fashion the Office of county surveyor has been
conducted. Until within the last few years the
nine cases out of ten. His records of surveys
were kept with no system and often made
without record whatever. Many an old sur
Veyor, who has been at work long enough to
know by heart every bearing tree, have
sufficient knowledge of it's whereabouts
should be able to locate every section corner
in his county and have permanent record
Of it in his office as we'll: while his
records of the various roads and highways
traversing his county would certainly make
angels weep if by any chance it became their
duty to unravel or replat them. The sur
veyor was not altogether to blame however.
His services were not justly appreciated by
an incoming county surveyor began a suit
for the notes and records of his predecessor
in Office that the people began to think upon
the subject, and realize how really scant and
meager the records were. and of how slight
importance he had been held
Up to this time county appropriations made
for the alleged betterment of the roads
throughout the county often jobbed out
to friends of the administration; the said
friends making it point never to lose any
thing on the work. and. of coarse, that was
impossible, because as a rule there were no

survey is another story. Township
54-H was cited by the~paper in aues-
ton as 'horrid example, and it
was stated that the Merritts, of Du-
luth, had recently leased from the state
several sections. A reference to the
records of the state land department
shows no leases to the Merritts at all.
The complaint made in the case of
this township is that while surveyed as
swamp, it is claimed that it is covered
with an excellent growth of pine and
has in some parts barren, rocky ridges
nearly as high as the hills back of Du-
luth. That plat shows only one lake
on the township, while there really are
several.
There is no doubt, it is admitted, that
the investigation now in. progress Will
show many Irregularities in the sur
Veys. 1t seems9verI much as though
the original surveyor had run his lines

compass, and when he reached the iron

LIENS oN{A SCHOOL.
School Board Embarrassed by
COntractOr5s- DeIinuucncy.


ContractOrzs Delinquency.
Corporation Attorney Darragh re-
ceived a communication from the secre-
tary of the school board yesterday in
forming him that number of mechan
les liens had been filed against the new
Benjamin Drew school building, erect
ed at Lafond and Avon streets. The
letter explained that the Butler-Ryan
company, to which the contract was
awarded, had sublet the contract, and
that certain employees of the subcon-
tractor had filed the liens The corpo-
ration attorney was accordingly re-
quested to advise 9theEschool board as
to the proper course tx be pursued in
the matter. -
Mr.. Darra gh responded with the oDin-
ion that3it was the duty4of the board to
, recommend the Withholding OF what
ever amount is Que from the city to the
ButlerRyan company, as the latter con-
Germ is responsible ana the city does
not recognize the subcontractor in the
matter.
The circumstance recalls the fact that
owing to some opposition in the couu-
Gil, Considerable fclay attended the
awarding of the contract for building the
Benjamin Drew school. 1t was finally

EsCH, ALIAS RHODES,
Much Wanted by the Pinkertcns
and Various Banks.

Supt. Weber, of the Pinkerton
agency, said yesterday that, while it
was true that his agency had under in
vestigation the fcrgeries committed by
one Esch and involving the Union and
the Commercial banks Of this city, vet
he was not in a position to reveal de-
tails. He did, however, correct the
statement that Esch had secured up
wards of $4,000. On the contrary, the
total probable loss, divided among sew
eraI banks and a number Of mercantile
houses, would not equal $1,000. 1t was
learned elsewhere that the real name of
the forger has not yet been made pub
lie, but that he is still in st. Paul and
will be arrested shortly.
The method pursued by Esch or
Rhodes has been to open, within the
past month, number of small ac
counts, each at a separate bank. After
he had become known as a customer
he would present q forged check on an
other bank, the check bearing the forged
certification of the other banks cashier.
Esch would hand in this check as a de-
post and Immediately draw out the
greater part of the money that the
check called for.

be an ex-offiicio member of both the county

records, surveys, and the like. There is now
a strong feeling beginning to express and
assert itself that if these conditions were care

VOTING FOR CRIME.
So Asse mbIyHan Robb Styles Pro
posed Cuts in Wages

Assemblyman Robb says that he viii
never vote for the cut in street labor
erS' wages recommended by the re-
trenchment committee. He says: 1T
would be voting for crime. 1t is pro-
posed to pay 81 a day, Sc week, $24 a
month. AT least $6 must go for rent,
and he must buy food that will keep
him in strength. He must buy dresses
for his daughter, and, by the way the
laboring mans daughters grow as
rapidly as those of the wealthy man in
this climate. The man can't give these
daughters the benefits of education
They must help him support the family
and to do so they must get positions
They can't step in where more fortu-
nate girls can, because they are not
educated and have not the clothes and
attalnmentS that would be appropriate
in their surroundings. They must do
something. Many of them despair and
go to the bad to save themselves
Here's where we would be voting for
crime"
Mr.. Robb also says that he will vote
against the reduction in salaries of
policemen too, and will fight both
measures tooth and nail.
