AREA OF CINDER WALKS.
Board of Public Works Fixes the
Limits in East St. Paul.

The hearing on the paving of Wash
tngton street, from Third street to Sew
enth, was appointed for yesterday be-
fore the board Of public works, and it
called out a small crowd of protesting
property holders. The hearing was
postponed to next Monday at the re-
quest of some interested parties who
could not be present.
The contractors refused to bid for the
contract for the sewer on Charles
street, from Grotto to Victoria. The
estimates Of the city engineer placed
the cost at about $1,700, and none of
the sewer builders wanted the job at
the price.
The board decided on the district
in which the cinder sidewalk scheme
is to be tried. The territory north of
Cook and east of Greenbrier in the
east end of the First ward, and north
Of Cook and west Of Edgerton, in the
northwestern part of the ward, and
Payne avenue, north of Ivy, is includ-
ed in the district The base of the
walks will be seven feet wide, the top
six feet. There will be a rise of two
and one-half inches from the outer
edges to the center of the walk The
material to be used is clay, gravel, sand

RATED AT HALF A MILLION
THAT WILL BE THE GAS COM
PANY's 1893 VALUATION
Board OF Equalization So Decided at
the Session Held Yesterday-
Theaters Were Under COnsidera-
- ton, and Breweries, Department
Stores, Clothing Houses and Coal
Companies to Be Taken Up Today.

sAOAS saAu Brewer1eS, department
Stores, Clothing Houses and Coal
Companies to Be Taken Up Today.
The st. Paul Gas Light company goes
into the assessment roll rated at a
half-million. The board Of eQualiza-
tion agreed that that was an equitable
figure yesterday. After e. A. Young
had explained, to the board. among
other things. that no officer Of the
gas company had ever intimated that
an assessment of million dollars
Would nave been accepted last year.
MI, Dung said that he had observed
In the newspapers that Mr.. Kirk was
quoted as having tod the board some
thlng to the effect that a million-dol-
lar compromise would be acceptable.
Commiss Toner Quehl. proved his
familiarity with daily papers by max
ing the statement that If Mr.. Young
mad seen the remark quoted to Mr..
h1rk In the newspapers, then 1t could
not be right for the newspapers had
never correctly reported the proceed
lhgs OF the board. He indicated a gen.
eral and statesmanlike disgust with
the daily paper, as an institution, and
rnen went back to the consideration of
the matter in hand
AT the close of Mr.. Young's eXplana-
tory remarks the board proceeded to
TX the assessment. Commissioner
Harclck moved THAT the assessment be
fixed at 100000.
commissioner MoritZ moved to
amend by making the assessment the
same as the asses Sor's return-$;33, 600
this allowed $500 for the franchise
and MI. Young explained that the fran
cflse was valueless, that it was OBJ
tanned When there was no electric light
ing ana that now the operation Of the
company under the provisions of the
franchise did not return any profit.
The amendment was defeated by a
vote OF to 2, Commissioner NORTH
and Mr.. Kenny voting for it. Aid.
Kenny changed his vote to no.
On the original motion Mr.. Sullivan
again voted no, but he was alone this
time and the motion was carried.
Messrs. L. N. Scott and Theodore
Hays appeared to tell about the per-
! sonalty involved in the theaters and
! the hoard fixed the assessment of the
| Metropolitan at $4,000, and that of the
| Grand at $1,000 This assessment is on
| the furniture and fittings. Mr.. Scott
| was interested in the tax to be levied
| on the bill and sign boards, but moth
ing was done in the matter pending a
| report from the building inspector as
to the amount Of boarding in the CITY,
Today the assessment of the brew
cries, the department stores, the cloth
| ing houses and fthe coal companies,
will be taken up
Tomorrow is the last day upon which
the board can sit legally, and nothing
has been done as yet with the street
| railway assessment, unless it has been
fixed in executive session. There are
other questions of very considerable
Importance to be considered in these
two remaining days and extra sessions
| may be necessary.
There is keen interest attaching to
the action of the board upon the street
railroad case.

TO CLOSE ST. PAUL DAY.
State Fairs Request of the Busine ss
Houses.

State Fairs Request of the Business
Houses.
The state fair management has re-
Guested that the stores of this city
close on st. Paul day. The call says:
Let the clerks and statesmen and
saleswomen all have full holiday and
join in celebrating the big harvest and
returning prosperity. Let the work.
ing men turn out with their wives and
children and make the day happy and
memorable. Such a holiday would not
be lost time. Indeed, ST. Paul day
car thus be made the most profitable
day of the fair, for visitors will judge
the city largely by the display it makes
Of its forces on that day.
The business men of the Twin Cities
have shown their interest in the Min
nesota state fair by contributing $780,
600 in purses for the race programme,
enabling the managers to make up th.
finest amusement programme ever
offered by any fair in any state. The
Commercial club, Of st. Paul, has also
supplemented the premiums of the So
ciety on county exhibits by a hand
some addition in cash. In many other
ways the friendship of the cities has
taken practical and substantial form.

Joint Committee on Printing Gives
Him a Small Plum.

o. H. Nelson was designated as the
expert printer for the city yesterday
by the Joint committee son printing.
Assistant City Attorney Taylor said
that the committee had the power to

went at the matter without any pre-
liminaries.
1t was apparent on the first ballot
that there were three candidates-M.
J. Daily, o. H. Nelson, and one James
Rice. Nelson had three votes from the
start, and he never got below that
mark, having three for three ballots,
and on the fourth the other vote neces-
sary to elect dropped in. Mr.. Daily had
two votes on the first and second, and
only one on the third, and one Of his
supporters then made shift and voted
for Nelson.
Then the latter was formally de-
clared the printer, to hold Office at the
will of the committee, there being no
term provided by the charter.

TAX ON FLOUR.

Minneapolis VIII Pay Big sum
Weekly to the War.
Today the tax on bread goes into eff
feet, but there Is little fear of anything
in the way of bread riots.
In fact, the tax is not applied directly
to the bakers loaves. 1t is paid by
the millers, ard is insignificant so far
as a single or even a couple Of barrels
Of flour might be concerned. But the
aggregate will amount to a comfort
able sum. For instance, with all the
mills running in Minneapolis, it would
amount to total Of more than $500
per week.
The tax is at the rate of quarter
Of cent for a twenty fve-pound pack
age, a half-cent for quarter barrel,
and two cents on the full barrel

JUDGE HINE STANDS PAT.
Late Loiterers ia City Parks Should
Do the Same.

Judge Hine, of the municipal court,
says his action in fining Thomas Nc
Queen, the man arrested while sitting
in Smith park after AZ o'clock Tuesday
night, was not based upon the fact that
the man simply occupied a bench in
the park at a late hour.
Judge Hine says the man was first
routed out of an alley by officer Flynn,
who later found him lettering in the
park.
Mcqueen, the court says, refused to
give any account of himself when
questioned by the policeman further
than to say that he was a stranger in
the city, and started to run away,
when he was placed under arrest
Judge Hine says Mcqueen offered no
explanation of his conduct in court and
that, considering Officer Flynn justified
in making the arrest, he had inflicted
the minimum penalty, fine Of S..

LOGGING ON IRON RIVER
WORK Is ACTIVE IN THE VISION
SIN FIELD
Capt. n. d. Pike Says 100000 Feet
Daily Is the Summer Cut
Stumpage In Good Demand
Winnipeg Boys Take a Vacation
of Yesterday Mt the Hotels.

Capt. R. D. Pike, the veteran Wis
consin lumberman, ran down from
Bayfield, yesterday and spent the day
in the city. Capt. Pike is interested in
the new logging railroad which has
just been completed from Ashland and
Bayfield, to Iron River, by D. M. Sabin
and a syndicate of Wisconsin lumber
men.
He is quite enthusiastic over the
prospects of a big cut this winter The
concern having the project in hand
owns billion feet of standing pine
along the line of the road, and opera
tions were commenced several weeks
ago. The road is now hauling 100000
feet of logs daily and during the WIN
ter months it lis expected that fully
twice that amount will be handled.
Capt. Pike stated that the Wiscon-
sin lumber trade was confined largely
to the Eastern market, as the rail rates
West were against them, and as a
large amount of the manufactured lum-
Der was marketed via the great lakes.
But a short time would elapse, how
ever, until the Wisconsin product
would find a market farther west.
There was a good demand for pine
stumpage, and at present about So per
thousand could be realized on good ten
log timber. The larger stumpage was
bringing much better prices, and, ow-
ing to the scarcity of this class
of pine, fancy prices would be paid in
a short time for the bigger logs. Every
year was making vast inroads upon the
great pine forests of the state, and it
was the big trees that were the first to
go.
G. w. Fairbairn and Edward c. Dew
lin, of Winnipeg, arrived in the city
yesterday from the Manitoba capital
on their wheels. Both of them are
young men on their vacations. They
left Winnipeg week ago, and were
somewhat handicapped by rain, which
fell five out of the seven days. They
report the grain in Manitoba just about
ripe, while as they proceeded south
ward through the Pembina country, it
was being cut, and in the vicinity Of
Sank Rapids and st. Cloud it was in
the stack.
They will return by rail Sunday.
