Says tho Price Is High.

ST. PAUL. March 1..-State Auditor
Dunn stated that the lumbermen repre-
sentlng the largest interests on the
Leech Lake reservation were not at all
anxious to have the sale take place this
season. He claims the lumber estima-
tors have become frightened over the
demonstrations made by the Indians
and placed too high a value on all the
timber of the reservation. A second
reason why they want postponement is
that the minimum price of 8 per thou
sand feet is rather high for Norway pine.

Inspection of Dairy Herds Proves to
Be Drain ON the General Fund
One Branch of the City Asked to
Pay the Other One.

In looking around for places where 1t
would be easy to get inspection fees for
examining dairy herds, the experts in
the employ Of the health department Sc
Iected the county poor farm as point
of attack. Aug. 2, B. A. Pomeroy, one OF
the live stock inspectors. visited the poor
farm and injected thirty-four animals
with tuberculin. The herd consisted OF
twenty-nine cows, four heifers and one
bull. A bill for ST. at so cents per heaS
for inspection, was duly sent to the board
Of control for payment by the health de-
partment The members Of the board
of control objected to the payment Of the
bill, on the ground that the milk from the
cows was not sold to any one, but used
exclusively by and for the inmates Of
the poor farm and the city hospital. The
board also raised the point that the poor
farm was part of the city and county
government, and there was no need Of
charging for such inspection, even If it
had been made. The matter was refer
red to the corporation attorney for an
opinion, and yesterday Assistant Corpora
ton Attorney Griggs advised that, in
his opinion, the board was not liable fol
the amount of the bill.
When the milk inspection ordinance was
first passed Comptroller McCardy took
the ground that the inspectors should not
be paid, except from the money which
was collected from the fees Of such in
spection, AS but $1553O has been collect
ed and turned into the city treasury from
inspection fees, the six inspectors would
have Jared badly had the comptroller
stuck to his position. When he thinks it
is to the interests Of the party which he
represents, however, the comptroller man
ages to find some loophole, and, in the
case of the milk inspectors, he decided
after again perusing the charter, that
the men could be paid from the general
fund, whether any fees came in or not
Since July the inspectors have been
drawing salaries, aggregating $3.50 per
month, from the general fund, The health

in bids for paving Broadway, and also

shortly before the board convened re-
quested that the bids be returned to him
Clerk Bronson refused to return the bids.
but when the board convened, Killmar
made the same request, and as none Of
