BISHOP GILBERT HOME.
He Returns From England Restored
to Health

Bishop NJ. N. Gilbert returned to st. Paul
from abroad yesterday.
Bishop Gilbert sailed for England July 20
to attend the Lambeth conference, and TO
take part in the Anglo communion of tsa
Episcopal clergy.
The trip has completely restored the bislop
to health. He says he is very glad to re-
turn to America, and is a better American
for having gone Regarding the Lanabeth
conference the bishop said it was a magnifi-
cent meeting He was impressed with the
marked friendliness on ali hands to the
Episcopal church in America. This frieadli-
ness, said Bishop Gilbert, extended as well
to nearly everything American. In the many
homes in which he was entertained he found
the utmost kindiiness of spirit toward The
United States. The English are somewhat
hazy on many features of American life and
government and recognize that the chief
fault of the American people is boastfulness,
but they admit many advantages on this side
of the water.
'.Their interest in America is a sympa-
thetic one. They are not at all disposed to
be hostile l found no evidences of patroniz-
ing siprit over there

impulse in so important a matter

G. N. ELEVATOR B.
Ramsey County's Officials Think 1t
Shouldn't Be Assessed.

The state board of equalization, at it's
session Wednesday morning, discovered that
the Great Northern elevator "B," on Como
avenue, was not assessed or taxed
County Assessor Seng reported that the
elevator was exempt under the gross earn
ings law, on the ground that it run for
railroad purposes. The beard had made
some investigation on its own account, and
it was stated that the elevator was leased
to J. Q. Adams G. Co., and was run for J.
@. Adams purpose.
The board of equalization has no power
to place the elevator On the tax list so the
state equalizers increased the assessment on
the elevators contents 100 per cent.
County Auditor Sullivan said yesterday
that he did not know whether not he
would put the property known elevator
"B' on the tax rolls. 1t was his opinion
that the property was exempt as belonging
to the railroad and used for railroad pur
of his recollection Pierce Butter, when he
was county attorney, had given an opinion
that this elevator was exempt.
Assessor Seng said that he had no doubt
whatever but that the elevator was railroad
property, and exempt. The elevator was on
the tracks of the Great Northern road.
It certainly used for railroad pur
poses. The railroad company ran its grain
into this elevator, where it was kept for a
short time and then shipped out. OF
course, the main fight was On the building
itself. AS to the contents, four different par
ties made returns and were assessed, as fol-
lows: Consolidated Milling company, $9,790;
st. Paul & Kansas City Grain company,
S62G; Riheldeffer, S1,1S5, and the Great North
ern Railway Elevator company. $12,2S

FIGHT WHICH WILL END ONLY In
THE HIGHEST COURTS
IS ON.
AITKIN FURNISHES THE CASE.
CONSTITUTIONALITY OF Tus, ACT
AND VALIDITY OF SENATOR
DAYS VOTE INVOLVED.
RAILROADS FURNISH DEFENSE
oiaih'' TOO, That Lands Are Exempt
Under Grant and Furnish No
Revenue.

The much-mooted question of the
taxation of unused and unimproved
railroad lands will come on for trial
before the judge of the Aitkin county
district court, at Brainerd, tomorrow,
and Attorney General Childs leaves
for that city today to represent the
state.
The legislature of 1896 decided to
submit this question to a vote of the
people, and it was answered in the
affirmative by large majority at the
election last fall, and was ratified by
what is known as the Anderson bill.
There being some question raised as ia.
the constitutionality of the act, County
Auditor Fred Stearns, of Aitkin coun-
ty refused to enter up the assessments
against the unimproved railroad lands
In that county, and the state now
brings this action for a writ Of man
damus to compel him to do so.
This will be made a test case. and
Will be carried to the supreme court,
the Intention being to bring it on at
the October term. The different rail-
road companies owning these lands in
Minnesota will defend the county au-
will be Attorneys Grover, Bum, Had-
ley and NJ. E. Clapp. These attorneys
and Attorney General Childs met yes
terday afternoon to stipulate as to the
facts concerning the passage Of this
law, etc.
The defense will raise a number of
points, chief among which is the con-
stitutionality of the law. 1t passed
the senate by a majority of only one
vote, and this majority is represented
by the vote of Senator Frank Day,
who voted in the Affirmative The de-
fense claims that as he was then
lieutenant governor by reason Of the
elevation Of D. M. Clough to the gu.
bernatorial chair, he had no right 10
vote.
Another issue is the claim that,
when the railroads secured their grants
of these lands, it was agreed that this
property should be exempt from taxa
ton. The lands are worth very little
and they are bringing in no income, so
the companies say they cannot afford
to pay taxes on them for the years
that must elapse ere they are sold

Doesn't Like Rondors Jokes.

William F. Fitzgerald yesterday filed formal
complaint with the mayor against Officer
BoeseI, of the Rondo street station, whom he
accuses of using unwarranted abusive Ian
guage toward him. Mr.. Fitzgerald alleges
that while going to work Tuesday he was
hailed by Oficer Boesel from the station and
told to come across the street. He asked
why he was wanted any says he was told to
to come without any parley. Then another
officer came out of the station and said it was
a mistake and that he could go. When he
insisted on knowing what right Officer Boesel
stopped him, Mr. Fitzgerald claims the .po--
liceman swore at him and grossly insulted
him.

SALE OF PINE sTUMPAGE.
State Will Dispose of Il Large Guam
tity in October.

State Auditor Dunn announces that
there will be an important sale OF pine
stumpage on state lands during the
first week in October, at which time
25, 100000 feet will be placed on the
market The prospects are that it will
bring a good price, for pine timber is
valuable property just now, and had
the state four times as much to sell
it would find a ready market. No
tracts can be thus disposed of unless
they have been damaged or are in
prospect of damage, either by fire or
storm. The cruisers have been busy
most of the summer looking up pieces
which were thus endangered, and the
last one just made their report yester-
day. The tracts are all small and
well scattered through the northern
portion of the state.
