Alleged Annoyanoes Caused by In
mates of Founding Hospital.
A REPORT BY MR.. HERBERT v. LEWIS
Makes Suggestion of Remedy to
District Commissioners.
TEXT OF THE REP ORT

The annoyance alleged to be caused resi-
dents in the neighborhood of the Washing
ton Hospital for Foundlings on 18th street
has again been the subject of a report to
the District Commissioners by Mr. Herbert
w. Lewis, the superintendent of charities,
who suggests as remedy the boarding out
of the infants, with selected nurses.
In his latest report Mr. Lewis says:
'On the 2Sth day of May. 1898, 1 said to
you in letter written in response to a
complaint made to you regarding the Wash
ington Hospital for Foundllngs, which was
referred to me- that ! had been unable to
suggest any modification of the work of
that institution which would remove the
cause of complaint. and at the same time be
acceptable to its managers.
Since that time other similar complaints
nave reached you, and persons have called
on me urging that some action be taken
which Will relieve them of the annoyance
caused by the presence of the hospital; and
L nave therefore concluded to present for
your consideration a plan which I believe
furnishes practical solution of the diff
Guilty, and will result in saving the lives of
considerable number of infants now in the
institution, as well as those hereafter to be
received.

THE NORTHWEST.
JAMES VALLEY YIELD.
North of WOOnsOcket the Average Is
About Six Bushels.

ABERDEEN, S. D., Aug. 3.-The
James river valley north of Woon-
socket has the same old story to tell
on wheat yield. There are here and
there touches of generosity in YIELD
but from Woonsocket north to the
state boundary, including Sanborn,
Jerauld, Sphinx, Beadle, Brown, Nc
Pherson and the other adjoining coun-
ties the usual acreage of six bushels
per acre has been realized.
Day and Marshall counties have
done better than last year, and but
for their help the average in the section
named would probably fall far below
six bushels.
Mcpherson county has suffered in an
unusual way this year, an average
yield of two bushels being claimed for
that county, for a large acreage will
not be cut. Disaster came early IN
the season together with unfavorable
weather conditions. Brown county has
the usual range of yield from acreage
abandoned to twenty-five bushels.
Wheat in a large part of the counties
named is barely high enough for the
header to catch in cutting. The above
general conditions in the counties
named is admitted to be the fact by
Postmaster Jumper who receives spe-
cial reports on these counties.

territory, has been held by United
States courts to be practically exempt
from the burdens and embarrassments
which our laws impose upon our roads,
In other words, the American roads
have their hands tied by our laws
wherever they are IN competition with
the Canadian Pacific Il railroad, while
the latter Is free and unembarrassed
to wage destructive war upon the Unit
ed States lines. q1
VIOLATION OF LAW CHARGED.
"In February last the Interstate COM
merce commission decided that in q
rate war then being conducted by the
Canadian Pacific against our lines
they were buying our traffic away
from our lines and carrying it at about
half what the service was worth, and
that the means employed, if done by
a United States road. would be in vio-
lation Of law, which would subject
them to indictment, but, as the Ca
madam Pacific road was not subject
to our law, there was no way to re-
strain them from continuing their IL
legitimate practices.
Notwithstanding that decision, the
Canadian Pacific, which derives it's
chief support by the sufferance of our
laws, takes advantage Of their permis-
sion to do business in this country, has
continued and yet persists In it's prac-
tees, which are resulting so disas-
trously to American lines.
Gin view of these facts, aside from
the general policy Of protection, the
enormous taxes which our roads con-
tribute to the public welfare. and that
they are available at all times to our
government for military purposes, they
ought in common fairness to be re-
lieved from the warfare which has de-
generated into one Of destruction"

lrple occupied this morning in taking the
idence of Judge Rea in the supreme court
oceedings looking to the settlement of the

I'd positive. The judge admitted that at
ne of the first counts Conroy had 24G votes
united and Phillips 239. The Conroy bal
st fer Phillips were placed away from the
bic. Afterward, when they were counted
lere was an increase of ten votes over the
81 count for Phillips, the total giving three
ore ballots than the convention should poll.
There was considerable discussion, Judge
81 being of the opinion that the votes
lOuld be announced, but Messrs Foote and
raft did not think so. and Judge Rea con-
'nted to a unanimous report in the inter-
81 OF harmony. which declared the ballot a
fOul'' one and not to be counted. No other
port of tellers was ever made. and the tel
RS left the stage and abandoned the ballots

From present indications the hearing will

VALUATIONS RAISED RADICALLY.
Action Taken by the North Dakota
Board of Equalization.

BISMARCK, N. D., Aug. 3.-(special)-
The state board of equalization, consisting
of Gov. Briggs States Attorney Hannum
State Treasurer Nichols, Attorney General
Cowan and Commissioner of Agriculture
Thomas, at today's session passed a resolu-
ton adding over $4,OOo,OOO to valuation on
railroad property in the state. A raise was
expected by the railroads, but not so great
a one and they protested, but the resolution
was passed as agreed upon. G. S. Fernal
tax commissioner of the Northern Pacific
r. A. Wilkinson, of the Great Northern and
]. W. Cassiday, of the 500, appeared before
the board and made addresses, asking that no
radical increase in value be made. 1t was
urged that the roads were already assessed
high enough, that many branch lines were
not paying much more than operating ex-
sessment would raise the valuation of rail-
road property above the proportion of value
paid by private persons. ma :
Heretofore the railroads in The state have
paid taxes on an average valuation of So 900
a mile. The resolution passed. today makes
the average valuation little oyer 1000 The
sessed $4,000 mile fiat on their main lines
and branches, and as these have greatest
mileage the increase falls heaviest upon them.
They do, not object SO much TO paying the
increased tax to the state but in many of
the counties along branch. lines their taxes
