WILL PLANT TREES TODAY
THOUSANDS oar CHILDREN TO Oh
SERVE ARBOR DAY.

In obedience to very commemorate
custom the schools of Minnesota Will to-
day observe Arbor day, which has bee n
called to their attention in the usual
proclamation of the state executive For
many years Minnesota has been proffting
by the industry displayed by the scholars
of its public schools who annually de-
vote at least one day to setting out trees,
flowers and shrubbery, and this year the
excellent record, it appears will be sGs-
tanned
Superintendent Of Public Instruction
Olson some days ago sent out a circular
to all the schools Of the state calling
especial attention to the purposes Of Arbor
day and seeking to arouse greater inter
est. It is evident that a keener appre-
citation Of the values Of this annual &C.
casion is felt and Mr.. Olson is gratif1ed
with promised results. It has been the
constant effort of the state authorities
to encourage tree planting, particularly
in the rural districts, where, in many in
stances, the surroundings are barren Of
any such natural adornments. No doubt
latent energy has been aroused in these
districts this year and the result is ex-
pected to be most gratifying.
Last year there were IN all 1860 trees
planted by the pupils Of AIinnesota's
schools. This year the number is expect
ed to reach at least 10000 Aside from
this there will be vast amounts Of flow
ers and shrubbery set out. The scholars
have been apprfsed by Supt. Olson of the
best character of plants and trees to set
out. For hedges, white willow and green
ash are preferable and for groves, box
elders, Eastwood, white elns and many
other species Of trees are the best A
long list Of flowers are designated, and
no doubt these suggestions will be fol-
lowed out by the thousands Of hands
that will cultivate Mother Earth today

MORE CAN BE RAISED.
COUNTY ASSESSOR SEES WAY TO
GET FIVE MILLIONS.

County Assessor Con1ey says that the
Ramsey county should be raised by about
$5,00o000, and that this city is every bit
as rich in personal property liable to
taxation as Minneapolis, He has Just
been examining all the data at his COM
mand and looking over the assessment
rolls of his predecessors, and this work
has been the cause of the determination
arrived at. He says he does not propose
to get the additional valuation from the
wholesale merchants particularly, or
from individuals from the poorer class,
but from those of the richer class who
are not paying a proportionate share of
taxes.
Speaking Of his future plans yesterday
afternoon the county assessor said:
''The object Of this office will be to see
that each man pays his Just proportion
of taxes, and no new means will be en-
ployed to get at the property which has
hitherto escaped. We will merely use
great care and diligence and I shall use
my best men for the most difficult work
They will all be polite and courteous and
will leave no stone unturned to gain all
is not bound by the sworn return of the
taxpayer in making his entries on the as
sessment book and this should be under
stood. All chattel mortga ges will be in
cluded in the assessment. One brewery
alone has in the neighborhood of Sc, go
on the chattel mortgage book, but that
is only an instance. Assessed breweries
nave generally paid fair tax"

fled with the city clerk petition ask
ing for the vacation Of a portion Of sew
eral streets abutting the Mississippi river,
the same being for fowage purposes by
reason Of the lock and dam that is to he
constructed near Minnehaha. creek.
Maj. Lockwood informed the officials
that similar petition had been for
warded to the city last month, but in
some unexplained manner it had failed
in It's passage through the postoff1ce As
all papers and deeds and everything con-
corning the work must pass back and
forth between the departments at Wash
ington and the Offices in st. Paul the de-
lay Is considerable and may hamper the
work to the extent that the construction
of the lock this year will be delayed. A
tracer has now been sent out to intercept
the lost document.
The streets desired vacated and for
which q deed is asked are Summit ave-
nue., Marshall avenue, st. Clair street
Randolph street, James street, and por-
ton of a sixty-foot road near the latter
thoroughfare. The sections desired are
those that abUt the river, and in each
case represent fractional parts of an
acre. The petition will receive considera-
ton at the next meeting Of the council

The Christian Scierce movement Is evf-

Material progress has been made during
the last year and as means Of stimu-
latfng this growth the adherents of this
faith have decided to establish a school
for the dissemination of the principles

Eddy, Of Boston, the leader of the sect
All prehuinaries have been attended to
and the plans are definitely settled.
Yesterday there was filed in the office

Maj. George E; Pond, chief quartermas-

Tor the present, enjoys the distinction CT
possessing more official titles than any
other off1cerd in, the service Of Uncle Sam.
These titles, a good many of them, did
not come In the regular course of pro-
motion, and the gallant major would be-
glad to handf over six or seven to any; de-
serving officer who will show up. Col.

judge advocate for the department, left
last night for New York, and with his
departure two more lengthy handles We're
added to the already long list following

Of the Dakotas, and construction quar-

turn an Indian maharajah green with

This imposing list Of titles is, as gen
eraI gItle, distributed among at least
eight officers, and each of them is kept
busy attending to the duties allotted him.
Just now, however, several of the officers
who have been assigned to departmental
positions here are still in the Philippines,
and several of those who are quartered
here are away on sick leave.
The major is kept hustling from morn
ing to night, with the added duties which
have been thrust upon him, and he signs
his name more than 500 times daily In
attending to the merely ordinary routine
duties Of his multitudinous positions. He
does not expect to be obliged to keep UP
the pressure for more than a few days,
and if the siege is maintained for more
than reasonable period, he might feel
constrained to call upon the strong box
of the government for at least a portion
of the stipends which would be drawn
by the eight gentlemen among whom the
work is ordinarily performed.

The commissioners are very much
pleased over a dispatch received from
Buffalo yesterday saying that they can
have all the space desired for the Min
nesota poultry display. This gives them
an opportunity to carry out the enlarged
plans for this exhibit which they had
already laid. The poultry enterprise IS
fast forging to the front in the North
west and Minnesota claims the lead, and
her title will, no doubt, be well estab-
lished after the show is over at Buff
falo.
One of the most attractive pictorial
displays that will be made by the state
Is the exhibition of Its institutions,
private and public. The commission is
industriously at work collecting large
views Of these various institutions and
will in q few days have a number ready
for display. Among those in st. Paul
that are about ready are Hanlline uni
versfty Manchester; st. Thomas and
Concordia colleges, St. Thomas semi
nary, ST. Paul Central high school,
Luther seminary. These will all be
grouped and displayed in the Minnesota
building. The views are all exterior and
none Is less In dimension than 12x14

Very favorable reports are coming in
regarding the different stone exhibits.
Minnesota produces some of the best
varieties of stone that can be found in
the United States, and the commission
ers will see to 1t that these natural re-
cources are fully represented. The hard

COMMERCIAL CLUBS NEW QUAR-
TIERS HANDSOMELY FITvTED UP.

When the Commercial club moves into
it's new home next fall 1t will be the
proud possessor Of quarters second to
none in the country. The Germanta Life
company has already let the contract for
the added stories to Iauer Bros, Of this
city, and the expenditure will foot up to
the comfortable sum Of 100000. AT first
it was believed that the addition could
be put on for much less than this sum-
but to carry out the work on the splen-
did scale which has been planned, will
cost the above mentioned sum, and the
company will not stint the architect in
any way.
The stoner for the first story is now
ready and the iron work has been or
dered and will be on hand by the time
the tenth story has been reached. The
roof garden will be handsomely tiled and
the fittings to be installed by the club
will be new throughout. New billiard
tables have been ordered, and the club
expects to be housed in its new quarters
by Sept. l.

is valued at $4,000. One hundred dollars
is given as the purchase price and other

While no official notice has been given
by DR.. Ohage 1t is pretty well assured
that the price for suits and lockers at
the public baths viii be increased this
year to cents for the suits and 10 cents
for The use of lockers. The necessity Of
reducing the debt hanging over the in
stitutien demands the increase.
The new gasoline incandescent lights
contracted for by the city have been so
successful that the next contract placed

this number has been placed. The re-
mainder viii be installed shortly.
