STORAGE RESERVOIRS.
South Dakota Wants "a System SIM
liar to That In wyoming.


Pierre. S. D.. Sept. 17.-The success of
storage reservoirs. which have been con-
structed by government assistants in Wyom-
ing, is calling out demand in many papers
of this state for similar system for South
Dakota. This demand is the strongest from
the papers in the western portion of the
state, which are near enough the work In
wyoming to know more Of the benefits Sc
cured. 1t is asserted in the arguments ad-
v t that one-haH the sum spent In pro-
tecting the lower Mississippi country, If ex-
pended on storage reservoirs on the upper
tributaries of that stream. would be more
effective in the way of protection of that sec

STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
FINISHES IT'S WORK ON PER-
SONAL PROPERTY.
ST. PAUL AND DULUTH BANKS
ARE CHANGED LITTLE COMPARED
WITH THOSE OF HENNEPIN
COUNTY.
LESS THAN -FOUR PER CENT.
rhe Amount That the Ramsey
County Valuations Are In
creased by the Board.

Practically, the state board of eQu-
hlzation has completed the work of
readjusting the personal property as
sessments and valuations. When it
adjourned last evening, after fixing the
valuation Of bank stocks and holdings,
in Yellow Medicine county, 1t had
finished all the personal property ex-
cept that in the bank list the figures
for Wright county were somewhat
vague and inconsistent With the exz
CeptiOn that these remain to be cleared
up, the personal property revaluation
has been completed, and State Auditor
Dunn will proceed at once to informing
the various county auditors and as
SCISSORS of the changes made, as well
as making an abstract of the reassess-
ment for the state at large.
The result is that real estate assess
ments will be reached today sometime,
and the long expected fight for the
increase in the assessments against the
realty of Minneapolis, ST. Paul and
Duluth may be expected to come up
tomorrow or Monday, whenever, in
the course of its alphabetical system,
the board reaches Hennepin in the list
of counties.
The Hennepin county people espec-
tally are inclined to feel that they are
getting the worst of the actions of the
board. After raising the assessment
on the banks Of that county 5000, OOO.
or q per cent, the board yesterday
left the Ramsey county banks com
paratively the same, raising them
from $3,56O,500 to 1885, 1888, an increase
of only 81 per cent. In ST. Louis coun-
ty the board even cut down the returns
a trifie, making the figures 81, O63, $50.
instead of SLOT, $50. In this they fol-
lowed out their well defined system of
basing the assets on 60 per cent When
the Minneapolis bankers discovered
yesterday morning that their taxes had
been increased one-fourth or more, they
were very wroth, and there were some
warm words. City Assessor Plummer.
OF that city, was over yesterday, but
ala not make any argument before
the board. He and County ATTORNEY
Cooley are most anxious about the
realty assessments, which if raised, will
necessitate a great amount Of detail

President Hiifx Says the Sandstone
Schemes Not a Bluff.

President j. T. Hill said yesterday
that he proposed to maintain his grain
inspection system at Sandstone until
the Superior. Board of Trade saw the
error of It's way, even If it took until
the end of the century. Il am fighting
for the principle of the thing" said the
president. There is no law of COM
mon sense or the statute book which
says that grain, raised and threshed
within the state Of Minnesota, owned
within the state, and sold within the
state, and then inspected and graded
according, to the Minnesota system,
should be reinspected and regarded
and then sold according to the Wis
consin standards merely because the
grain is shipped from Wisconsin
port"
What do you think of the general
wheat situation?"
II am firmly convinced that wheat is
today worth Is cents more than
the farmers are receiving for it. And
they would receive the Is cents IL
the times were better, and the country
was not In the throes of an exciting
campaign"

seems to bobaup again. A part OF the
claim swasf~that silver literature was
being sent slyly. through this medium
by employees. OF the road, and that the
president Took that way to- stop it.
AS a matter of fact no circular of that
nature has been issued, and there has
not been any need OF one. The only
circular which mt all bears upon the
subject was issued July IA, a clause OF
which reads: -Fhe sending of private
communications between employees as
X r. b. is strictly forbidden. For
violation of tina law the company Is
liable to fine of 800, and the en-
ploye having charge of such train mail
Is liable to a penalty Of $50 for each

that 1T was the government and not the
railroad company which imposes the

ROW OVER A BOILER
Winds Up Finally In the Municipal
Court

Court.
Henry M. Sheire, a commission mer-
chant doing business at 505 Robert
street was in the police court yesterday
on the charge of grand larceny. The
complainant in the case is John L.
Fox, a plumber. who at one time oc-
cupied one of Mr.. Sheire's buildings
next to the feed store, and he accuses
his former landlord of having taken
an iron boiler worth $50.
When Fox moved from the store,
which he rented of Sheire several years
ago, he secured permission to leave the
boiler in the store until he could dis
pose of 1t. Later, in the course of bust
ness transactions, Fox transferred the
boiler to his father-in-law, B. e. Muir
ray, and when the latter went to Sc
cure his property he found it was gone.
Inquiry of Mr.. Sheire elected the infor-
nation that the boiler had been sold
to a secondhand man for Sc. This
aroused the ire of Mr.. Murray, and he
brought suit in the civil branch of the
municipal court to recover 500, the al
legged value of the boiler The case
was holly contested, and Mr.. Sheire
made no secret of the fact that he had
disposed of the boiler, but claimed it
had been on his place more than long
enough to run up storage charges far
in excess of the Sc whic he had received
iOT IT, nevertheless, Judge lWOny
awarded judgment Of $40 to Mr. Muir
ray on the grounds that Sheire had no
right to sell the boiler without due
process of law.
Murray was evidently determined to
get the full value of the boiler or play
even in some other way, and so he
swore out a warrant against Mr.. Sheire,
charging him with grand larceny, the
punishment for which is term of serv-
ice in the state DriSOn

him under $500 bonds until today

Some Improvement In Western Pas
senger Business Reported.


CHICAGO, Sept. 17-Many Of the
Western shippers are at sea regarding
the result of the meeting of the freight
agents of the central lines yesterday,
and reports very contradictory in their
nature have been made regarding the
result Of the meeting. The facts are
these: When the board of managers
issued the order for reduction of the
corn rate to Is cents per hundred,
circular announced that the rate would
remain in effect until Sept. Is. On that
date the 15-cent rate expired by limi-
tation, and the 20-cent rate has been
in effect ever since that time. At its
meeting yesterday the Central Freight
association adopted a resolution rec
ommending that the board Of managers
Of the Joint Traffic association, which Is
now the only maker Of through rates.
should allow rates to remain where
they are now, at 20 cents for both corn
and oats. Whether or not this recon-
mendation will be adopted remains to
be seen, but as matters now stand, 20
cents is the all-rail rate between Chi
cago and the Atlantic seaboard.
The lines of the Western Passenger
association held a short meeting to-
day for the purpose of regulating per-
centages under the new mileage agree
ment and transacting other matters of
q routine nature. The passenger stu
alton in the West is beginning to look
up triae, but the freight departments
Of the different roads are still in the
dumps. They can see nothing in sight
but poor business, and that at low
rates. They have given up all idea of
having a great volume Of business I'M
til after election, and will be pleased
If they get 1t then. The passenger i'm
provement is due, for the most part,
to various excursions and reunions, of
which many are being held In various
parts of the West. There is no de-
cided improvement in the amount of
regular through traffic, but the roads
are very glad to take what they can
get to swell the receipts, no matter If
it is excursion business, on which they
cannot expect to make very much
money.
