70 REVALUE ALL REALTY
LINE TO CONSIDER A GEN
ERAL ASSOCIATION
THEY CAN BE CUT oNE-FoURTH
Such Is the Estimate of MOritz Helm,
Who Addressed the Gath
erinR Last Even
ing.

Attorney Moritz Helm, addressed a
large audience of taxpayers at Hamline
last night. He urged the property own
ers TO organize, in every part of the city,
and form associations for the purpose
CT calling upon the assessor, county and
state board Of equalization, in order to
have the valuations upon real estate ad-
justed on a fair basis. There is" he
said, no system and no basis of taxa
ton in any part of the city; real estate is
assessed for purposes of taxation for any
amount, regardless of its cash value A
large part of real estate is assessed for
more than it's actual cash value, and in
many instances it is assessed for twice
and three times the amount of its
legitimate value. The assessor and other
officials in charge of the administration Of
the tax laws in this city will not ignore
the just demands of property owners,
when the evil of indiscriminate over-val,
Catfon is called to their attention. When
the tax laws were framed, more than
twenty years ago, there was not in eX-
istance, then, a species of property which
mas since not come to be the most valu-
able in the community, such as the street
railway, telephone and gas, electric light
and heating companies In fact, the latter
kind of property in as large a community
as st. Paul, is of greater value than the
real estate itself At least 500, ,0QO0 0U6
should be taken off the real estate valua-
ton. Every portion Of the city should be
organized in like manner, with the view
of accomplishing a desired reduction of
at least 70 per cent on the real estate
valuation.

TION OF STATE HISTOR-
ICAL SOCIETY
PAPER ON ALASKAN LIFE
Lieut.. Bell, of Eighth Infantry, Pre-
sented 1t at the Meeting of
the Society Last
Night.

At the monthly meeting Of the State
Historical society last night in the rooms
at the capitol building, Maj. John Espy
presented the society with q rare SOU
venir of one of the first white men who
explored the Northwest. 1t is a painting
by George Catlin, the first white man
who who visited the famous quarries at
Pipestone, representing two Indians in
the act Of worshiping the sun. The
pa nting is considerably damaged and is
the gift of Fred Catiin, of New York city,
a cousin Of the explorer
SIX portraits Of members of the society,
all but one deceased, which have been
presented during the month, were on eX-
hibition. a striking painting of Bishop
Mahlon \. Gilbert was prom nent in the
collection and the other portraits were
Of ex-Gov Marshall, Hon. A. II. Cath
cart, Hon. Henry NJ. Rice, Hon. w. B.
Dean and Rev Edward D. Neill, D. d.
With the exception of the latter, the por-
traits are the work of a St Paul artist,
Miss Evelyn c. Russell.
The committee on printing announced
that the ninth volume of the State His
torical society collection WI be out Of
press shortly. 1t will consist of nearly
200 pages and contains reports and papers
read before the society. Reports from
the librarian show that during the past
month the society has been the recipient
of fifty-nine volumes and 1000 pamphlets
donated by members and friends Among
other donations are sixteen maps.
In referring TO the recent death of one
of the Oldest members OF the organization,
Hon. J. d. Ludden paid an eloquent trib-
ute to the life and work of the late w.
II. Kelly.
a paper was read by Lieut. Edwin Bell,
of the Eighth infantry, at Fort Smelling,
on life in Alaska. Lieut.. Bell only re-
turned from Rampant City, recently, and
his paper contained much valuable mat
ter in connection with the Importance Of
the far northern possessions. Said he in
part:
Minnesota played a very important part
In the purchase of Alaska, for it was
here in st. Paul that Mr.. Seward, the
United States secretary of state, met
Bishop Anderson in 1860 Bishop Ander-
son, who had been for twenty years mis-
slOnary bishop of Rupert's Land, and
had Travelled all over Alaska, succeeded
In so deeply impressing Mr. Seward of
the immensity and future possibilities of
the country that Immediately on his re-
turn to Washington Mr.. Seward opened
negotiations with the Russian govern
ment for the purchase of Alaska and per
sistently carried them on until he sue
ceeded in purchasing that vast empire for
mere bagatelle of $7,500,000

RILEY WILL READ MAY "a.
HumOrist and Poet to Appear at
PeOpIe,s Church.

The announcement has been made that
James Whitcomb Riley will visit St. Paul
and give a reading at the Peoples church
on the 24th.
1t seems almost unnecessary to adver-
tise Riley. Parents know him, the chill
dren know him, everybody knows him.
The Atlantic Monthly speaks of Riley as
the typical poet of the day, and the peo-
pie generally throughout this country are
of the same opinion. The Scribners of
New York have completed full edition
of his works in ten volumes, thus giving
to the author the highest stamp of rec
ognition so far as publishers are con-
cerned.
Mr.. Riley is not only poet, but he is
born actor, and thousands upon thou
sands in the great cities of the United
States know that this statement is true.
Such famous actors as Joe Jefferson,
Henry Irving, Ellen Terry and Sol Smith
Russell have added their testimony and
tribute to that of the people. 1t has been
said that Mr.. Riley could have made his
fortune as an actor. Many will remem-
Der that the poet abandoned the platform
five or six years ago Since that time he
has received invitations from almost
every city in the country begging him to
return to the rostrum, but he has stead
lily refused to do so, and he is in no sense
regularly upon the platform at the pres
ent time.

HE SAYS he IS TOO BUSY
JOHNSON CAN'T MEET KIEFER TO-
DAY TO CHOOSE ASSESSOR.

County Auditor Johnson and Mayor
Keifer are still unable to agree upon
man to be appointed assessor, and 1t
looks very much as if nothing definite
would be settled for number of days yet.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mayor Kiefer sent the following ulti-
matum to County Auditor Johnson:
you seem correct in that an assessor
should be elected; yes, should have been
elected long ago. The proposition you
make, however, [ cannot accede to. The
proper course for you and me is to meet
as a board for the election of an assessor
and vote until such officer is elected, then
issue his commission at once.
This will undoubtedly please all Re
publicanS and all other good people, and
to that end l am ready to meet You to-
morrow, the 18th, al 10 o'clock III the
morning, at your Office, or at mine, or
such place as you may select. Kindly no
tify me this afternoon of the place"
This was at 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
and about 4:3O Mayor Kiefer received
the following communication from the
auditor.

MERCHANDISE RATE HEARING.
1t VIII Begin Before Railroad Com
mission Today.

The merchandise rate hearing before
the state railroad and warehouse COM
mission, continuation of the investiga-
ton commenced some time ago at which
grain tariffs from the southwestern part
of the state were adjusted, will begin this
morning at 10 o'clock at the Endicott
building. Every railroad in the state is
interested in the investigation, and all
the lines transacting an interstate bust
ness will be represented by their legal
and general officers.
The merchandise rate investigation will
be similar in scope to the investigation
of the southwestern grain rates. The
commission has notified the interested
railroads that it will look into the present
merchandise rates applying in the state,
with view of discovering reasons for
the difference between distance and
terminal tariffs. These show a general
inequality, which gives shippers outside
terminal tariff limits much less favor
able rates than those who are abe to
ship under terminal tariffs. The differ
ence between rates in terminal and dis
tance tariffs, as shown by the railroad
commission figures, for the same number
OF miles, shows an apparent discrimina-
ton against merchants shipping under
distance tariffs of from 10 to 20 per cent.

KLINKHAMMER'S DEATH.

The coroner's inquest at the morgue
yesterday concerning the death of
n cholas Klinkhammer, who was killed
by a Como interurban car. at Burgess
street and Como avenue, Saturday even
ing, developed considerable difference
among the jurors as to fixing the respOn-
sbility for the accident.
Five were firm In the opinion that the
street car company employees had been
guilty of negligence, while one juror
maintained that no negl' 'gence had been
proved. After consultation no agreement
could be reached and so practically two
verdicts were returned, one signed by the
five jurors, charging the employees with
negligence, while the other signed by the
one dissenter, exonerated the employees.
