HEMLocK FOR SIDEWALKS.

New Idea Proposed in theaInterest of
Economy.
The board of public works has under
consideration the specifications under
which wooden sidewalks will be laid this
year. City Engineer Claussen advises
that bids be advertised for as soon as
possible. He thinks the price of lumber
is. going up and cites the figures given
the city last week, when bids were open
ed for furnishing lumber to the city. The
lumber which was bought last year for
$3.50 now costs SIS per M The specifica-
lions this year will not be materially diff
ferent from those Of last year. It Is esti-
mated 100000 feet of pine will be used
and 100000 feet of hemlock. Last year
six-inch lumber was used in walks eight
feet wide and over, but this year nothing.
less than eight-inch lumber will be used
Some of the members of the board favor
the use of rough lumber for three-plank
sidewalks, but City, Engineer Claussen is
opposed to this. 1.-The, idea Of using hem
lock for sidewalks Is a new one, and will
be put in the specifications for the reason
that it will be cheaper than pine.

Attorney General Douglas and his pre-
decessor, FL. w. Childs, returned yes
terday from Washington, where they ar
gued the case of the State, ex rel. J. N.
MARI against Fred Stearns, county audi
tor of Aitkin county, to test the validity
of the statute taxing unused railroad
! lands, otherwise known as the Anderson
bill. A decision cannot be expected
| sooner than March, as 1t usually takes
about that time to find final review be-
fore the court Of the highest appeal.
| While they were in Washington the
case Of the State and ]. III. Mullen
against Lindsey and Phelps was decided
by the United States supreme court In
favor Of the state. AS a result of the
decision the state will receive $4,000 In
cash, and Mr.. Mullen $1,000. During Sem
ator Nelson's term as governor, Mullen
was surveyor Of logs and lumber, and
seized a large number of logs belonging
to Lindsey and Phelps, in Newton's
| slough, on the Mississippi, for fees. The
| company appealed to the courts, secured
the release Of the logs and since then
the case has been in litigation. The
| legislature of 1897 passed law appro-
priating $4,000 to reimburse Mr.. Mullen
and provided for the further prosecution
Of the case. The contention was made
| by the company that the logs were cut
in another state and that therefore the
surveyor general Of logs and lumber had
no authority in the premises The United
States supreme court on this point unani-
| mously agreed that the inspection was no
infraction Of the commerce clause.
While the state won on the second
| point there was not such unanimity Of
sentiment as in the instance just cited.
A dissenting opinion was filed by four Of
the judges, holding that the state had no
| right to seize one man. property for the
debts of another. The majority Of the
court, however, decided III favor Of the
| state. The logs were taken out Of the
boom controlled by the Weyerhaeuser
| syndicate, and all belonged to Lindsay
| and Phelps 1t was not practicable to
| take them any other way, as the firms
! logs were at one end of the boom. AS
| the current of the old Mississippi cannot
| be stopped, 1t was only possible to take
| the logs at the end of the boom. All
| told, perhaps, twenty different owner
| ships were represented in the logs, and
each company was indebted to the state
for the inspection Of fees.
| Gen Douglas, however, commended that
the action of the surveyor general did
| not conflict with the individual rights Of
the company. While it was made to
bear the burden of the debt of all the
other ownerships of logs represented in
the boom there was mutual agree
ment between the firms and the boom
was organized for mutual benefit Of all
the owners. Mr.. Douglas, in support Of
his argument, cited the system of weigh
ing wheat in and out at the terminals.
Instead of computing the results upon
the basis of ownership, everything was
reported on grade.
| General Mullen will receive $1,000 in
cash and the state will receive $4,000 as
the amount advanced to reimburse Gen.
Mullen.

rotary, Mr.. Holbrook, has been connect
ed with large salt manufacturing estab-
lishments from boyhood.
Mr.. Cooper said yesterday:
ct was not our desire to go into the
production Of salt, but we have been
building up trade in salt at a reasona-
BILE profit, when we found that the trust
would not sell US and we must rehnquish
our established trade or go into the man
ufacture for ourselves. The plant will be
one Of the largest in the country. and
our shipping facilities will be unsur-
passed Our dock will allow boats draw
ing eighteen feet to land, and we have
short railroad line of our own, giving us
direct connection with the Grand Trunk.
Our arrangements will be on a parity
with salt shipments from any other point.
We expect to ship salt in bulk to Duluth
and West Superior and sell it In bulk by
the carload or in sacks, as may be de-
sired. Nearly all kinds Of salt will be
produced and the best style Of packages
used. The salt will be pumped out Of four
eight-inch wells and in the various proc
esses 1000 horse power engines will be
used, requiring the consumption Of 10000
tons Of coal per annum, which will be
brought In vessels from lake ports to the
works.

day recommended the acceptance Of the
bid Of the Municipal Signal Company Of
