LIBRARY PROPOSITION
Considered by Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber of commerce committee
on education held a meeting yesterday
afternoon for the consideration of the
proposition for the erection of a public
library building on a part of the Mar
a ninety-nine-year lease of the remain
der of the tract. Rev. J. Paul Egbert
presided and there were present In
addition to the members of the COM
mittee, a number of other prominent
citizens. Architect Johnson discussed
the plans briefly and County Attorney
Butler explained in a general way, the
proposition that had been submitted
to the library board.
E. V. Smalley expressed his approval
of the idea, while Col. Clough seemed
to think it would be preferable to dis
pose of the market house property and
erect library building on some other
site. The consensus of opinion seemed
to be, however, that the site was about
as desirabl as could be found.
E. w. Peet thought the proposition
a good one provided the building 20 be
erected is of such a character as to
compensate for such a long lease of
the remainder of the property. 1t was
therefore impossible to Judge as to the
real merits of the plan until a more
definite proposition had been SUBJ
mitted.
The report of the committee will be
in accordance with the view expressed
by Mr. Peet, recommending that judg-
ment be reserved until the proposition
has been submitted more in detail

DECISION,
BUT MAKE GOOD ITS PROMISE
MILE. GOOD FOR THIRTY
DAYS.
ENCAMPMENT WILL COME HERE,
Says j. j. McCardy, When Shown a
Telegram Received From Gen.
Mason, Dated Chicago.

st. Paul will have the next G. A. r.
national encampment This statement
is made upon the authority of Senior
Vice Commander ]. J. McCardy, who,
when shown a dispatch from Gen. E.
c. Mason received by the Clio b e
last night, said:
THAT settles it; we'll hold the en-
campment here"
The telegram from Gen. Mason, which
Is dated at Chicago, reads as follows
The Western Passenger association refused
to grant the concession to the time limit
on tickets asked by the st. Paul committee.
The Great Western, however, will break away
and give US one-cent-a-mile rate and thirty
days. We hope to gain over the other roads
and iand the encampment
The result of the meeting of the
Western Passenger association held
yesterday for the final consideration
of the application for a thirty days
extension Of time on the special rate
tickets has been awaited with consid-
cradle interest by the local members
of the G. A. r. and all other citizens
as well. Had all the roads in the as
sociatton stood by the decision of the
w. P. A, st. Paul would have lost
the encampment as it was conceded
by all that it would never be a sue
cess if the railroads granted only five
or six days limit on the tickets. But
the refusal of one road in the associa-
tion to abide by the decision will, 1t
is believed. break the combination
After the Western Passenger associa-
tion at it's former meeting had refused
to grant the concession asked for, a
special committee of the board of man
ayers of the G.. A r. national en-
campment went to Chicago and held
conference with Commander-in-Ch Chief
Walker and Chairman Caldwell. of the
Western Passenger association. Be
fore leaving Chicago the committee
succeeded to the extent of being as
sured that the Western Passenger as
sociation would hold another meeting
and reconsider the action previously
taken. One of the principal arguments
in favor of the desired concession ad-
vanced by the committee was that Of
precedent, the attention of the asso-
citation being directed to the fact that
every year for the past ten years the
roads had granted the thirty days ex-
tension of time on special rate tickets
to and from the G. A. r. national en-
campments.
1t is understood that the Great West
ern is not the only road that will grant
the desired time limit. Mr.. McCardy
said last night that another road, which
he mentioned, would do likewise.

RECEIVER BIGELOW'S VIEWS.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. 2S.-In Mil
waukee the news of the decision of the
supreme court relative to the Northern
Pacific case naturally created a good
deal Of interest. Receiver Bigelow
said:
Il am naturally delighted with the de-
c1s1on, especially in view of the fact
that it upholds Judge Jenkins in every
respect and at every point. In the sec
ond place l believe the decision is of
great Importance and interest to large
section of the country, as well as of
great value to the property interests in
volved in the road. The main thing Is
that 1t makes one road of the entire
property and does away with all the
unfortunate troubles and drawbacks,
and harmonizes all the interests. Yes,
1T will undoubtedly greatly assist the
work of reorganization, and hasten the
end naturally desired by all-something
that was practically out of the question
with the conditions as they were when
the matter was taken before the su-
preme court justices. No plan could be
carried out successfully with divided
interests
"The receivers will undoubtedly have
some important orders and changes to
make Immediately, now that they are
placed In full charge of the property,
but as to what those orders will be,
cannot state at this time. 1t is true
there were matters we naturally desir-
ed to dispose Of for the best interests
Of the property which were not done
while the uncertainty as to receiver
ships existed and now our way in the
matter is made plain. 1 cannot say any
thing further at present regarding
plans. The receivers will desire to see
and carefully read the full text of the
decision and rulings of the court, be-
fore making any move. Until then
must be excused from discussing
plans"

DECIDES WITH THE OMAHA.
Findings in n Matter Touching the
Local Rate Sheet.

The board Of arbitration on the ap-
peal of the Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Omaha railway in the matter
of meeting rates to Southern points,
in the st. Paul and Minneapolis rate
sheet, based on existing rates from
Cedar Rapids and Dubuque yester-
day submitted it's findings which are
in favor of the appellant road, and
copies of which have been sent to the
interested lines. The text of the findings
is as follows:
While we think it is wrong in principle to
sacrice revenue for the purpose of making re-
duction in rates based on interior points
still in view OF the fact that the identical
junction points under discussion are now rec
ogniZed for basing purposes in the st. Paul
and Minneapolis rate sheet, and such rates
are authorized via circutous routes, we feel
that the c., st. P, NJ. G. o. railway are JUS
titled in their position under the precedent
established, and they are entitled to the re-
lief asked for In having the rates in Ques-
ton inserted in the st. Paul and Minneapolis
rate sheet.
At the regular quarterly meeting of
the ST. Paul and Minneapolis Rate as
sociation, held at st. Paul union depot,
Jan. H. The Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Omaha railway offered for
insertion rates to Southeastern points
based on Cedar Rapids and Dubuque
rates. These rates were in some cases
several dollars lower than ncurrent rates
The Minneapolis & ST. Louis railway
objected to the insertion of these rates.
stating that there was no reason why
interior junction points should be used
for basing purposes, needlessly reduc-
ing the revenue on this Southeastern
business.
Under the rules Of the association
the rates can not be inserted in the
face of an objection Of an interested
line. The Chicago, St Paul, Minneap-
oils & Omaha therefore made an appeal
TO arbitration. The arbitrators selected
were B. N. Austin, assistant general
passenger agent of the Northern Pa
cif1c; w. A. Russell, general passenger
agent of the st. Paul & Duluth. and c..
B. Kinnan, secretary of the st. Paul
and Minneapolis local association. The
case was heard at the Northern Pa
cific general passenger office Jan. %.

charged by the competing electric lines there.
