PILE BRIDGE PROPOSED.
ALDERMEN SHOWN OVER ROUTE
OF ONIAHA'S SPUR
TRACK
DR.. oHAGE IS NOT APPRAISED
Determined to Continue Fight
Against the Line-ThOught That
Compromise Arrangement
Will Be Adopted.

The members of the committee on
streets of the board of aldermen, as
guests of W. A. Scott, general manager,
and other local officials Of the Omaha
road, took a carriage ride yesterday aft
ernoon over the proposed right of way on
the West side, which the company is
asking for spur track purposes.
The trip extended from the Omaha
bridge where the track begins, to Wa
basha street, considerable time also be-
ing spent in the vicinity of the public
baths, which DR.. Ohage contends will be
ruined if the tracks are allowed to pass
IN front of them. Methods of prote citing the
entrance to the baths We're discussed, the
most feasible plan finally being decided
upon in the shape of a pile bridge lead
ing from the Wabasha structure to the
island. The present pile bridge leading
from Fillmore avenue, and over which
the majority of the bathers pass, would
be dispensed with. A harbor line would
also be established, preventing any fur
Their encroachment south Of the right
of-way proposed.
At the meeting of the committee on
streets of the board of aldermen yester-
day afternoon action on the proposition
to appeal to the supreme court against
the decision rendered by Judge Kelly was
postponed until Tuesday afternoon, when
meeting of the committee Will be called.
Pierce Butler, representing the company,
was present and said the action of the
assembly in recommending the appeal
greatly hampered the work, as they were
unable to proceed until it was definitely
settled.
The consensus of opinion is that the
board will refuse the appeal and will grant
the desired right-of-way, with stipula-
tions, however, that will in their opinion
protect the baths, the patrons and the
islands future development.
To some of the members, privately yes
terday, DR.. Ohage stated that he would
use his own money in fighting the Omaha
road in case the city refused to appeal.
He contends that the future will see the
vicinity of the baths one mass of tracks,
as past experience shows that restrictions
are not worth the. paper they are writ
ten on.
For the mass meeting to be held on
the West side this evening, Dr. Ohage
has prepared a statement of the num-
Der of people travelling on Wabasha,
West Seventh and Robert streets between
the hours of in the morning and
o'clock in the evening. This data was
taken in support of his argument that
a crossing at some point on Wabasha
street would not create unusual hazard
or retard traffic His figures show that
there is less travel on Wabasha than on
the other two streets named

BACK FROM NEW YORK.
Attended Convention of American
Wotar Works ASs0ciatiOu

Attended Convention Of American
Water Works Association.
John Caulf1eld, secretary of the board
Of water works commissioners, arrived
home yesterday from New York city,
where he attended several days meet
ing of the American Water Works assoc
citation, the gathering being it's four
teenth annual convention.
The meeting Mr. Caulfield says, was
of incalculable benefit to those who at
tended, papers on filtering, publication
of water and many other things pertain
ing to the conduct and maintenance of
city's water supply being read.
One thing Of considerable interest to
st. Paul was lengthy discussion on cleo
trollysis, an evil which water systems IN
many cities are now suffering from. In
the case of private companies, suits for
damages against street railway COM
panieS nave been commenced, while
where the municipality controls, demands
are being made for an overhead wire re-
turn. In the United States courts one
street railway company has been worsted
and the victory is now being made
basis for number of big damage suits.
While en- route home Mr.. Caulfield
stopped at the Pan-American exposition.
He says it's size and beauties have not
been exaggerated, the electrical exhibit
and displays being particularly fine. The
Minnesota building, he says, is credit
to the North Star state. Its exhibit is
the finest on the grounds.

CAPITOL LANDS VALUED
THOSE IN KANDIYoHI COUNTY APP
PRAISED AT $40 PER
ACRE
COMMISSION FILES REPORT
Probable That Present Lessees VIII
Buy I'm Lands at August Sale
Question of Improve
ments.

The commission recently appointed to
appra1se the value of the so-called state
capitol lands in Kandiyohi county, after
having visited the property and looking
it over carefully, met yesterday after
noon at the office of the state auditor
and formulated it's report. The commits
sion consists of August T. Koerner, of
Lftchfield, former state treasurer;
Charles Kittelson, Of Minneapolis, and
T. M. Peterson, of Acton, Nicolet coun-
ty, and was appointed under legisla-
tive act of last winter providing for the
sale of the lands and prescribing the
manner in which the sale shall be con-
Quoted.
This tract of land was originally grant
ed to the state of Minnesota by act of
Congress, Feb. Is, 1857 and for many
years has been leased in portions through
the agency of the county officers of Kan
diyohi. Many of the tenants, who are
principally farmers, have built structural
improvements, and the law ordering the
land to be sold also makes provision for
the sale Of the Improvements if the own
ers OF them so desire. 1t is directed that
the improvements shall be appraised sep
arately by the same appraisers
There are 500 acres of the land, and
the commissioners fix the values from
S14.5O to SIS. 80 an acre, the average vaIua-
lin OOAlAS V4OJ dIILOuSu lLGy CnaC
the property may average as high as
$40 an acre at the sale, which will take
place Aug. Is.
The lessees of the property were first
permitted to file their own estimates of
the value Of their Improvements, and
now the appraisers will also set q valua-
ton on those improvements. When the
land is sold the value of the improve
ments will be added to the price, and
that portion of the proceeds will be turn
ed over to the owners, the state retain
ing only the price of the land. It is ex-
pected that the land will nearly all be
bought by the present lessees, and in
that event there will be no trouble as
to the valuation Of the improvements.
Henry Feig, as representative of the
lessees of the land, met the commission
yesterday afternoon,

PREFER ASPHALT BLOCK
EIGHTH STREET PROPERTY OWN
ERS OBJECT TO BRICK

ERS OBJECT TO BRICK.
Eighth street property owners in goodIy
numbers were present at the meeting of
the committee on streets Of the board
of aldermen yesterday relative to the
proposed paving of that thoroughfare
with brick and sandstone
In the final orders handed down by
the board of public works these two ma
terials were specified, but the majority
Of the property owners present were de-
cidedly opposed to this material, and
wanted asphalt block used instead.
The most persistent in this respect was
John Stees, who said he was tired of
paying for brick and sheet asphalt only
to have them wear out in a few years,
and be compelled to pay for repaving.
The asphalt block scheme, he said, he
did not offer to hinder the1worK, but
simply because he thought it was the
best material. Mr.. Hart, of the firm
of Hart & Murphy, also pleaded with
the committee to indorse the orders and
suffer no delay in the paving of the
streets. Others spoke in a like manner
The only one who did offer any objec-
ton to the paving of the street was E.
b. Berisford, who wanted that portion
between Robert and Wabasha street held
over for another year. He said It would
interfere with the improvements now be-
ing made to the Golden Rule department
store, and he also contended that the
property owners did not want the street
paved with sandstone.
AT his request the paving of the por-
ton between Robert and Wabasha streets
was held over for two weeks, while the
other orders were sent back to the board
to have the specifications name asphalt
block as to the material to be used for
paving.
The proposed widening Of Sibley street
in the vicinity Of the union depot also
found large number Of property owners
present to protest against the improve
ment unless the cost could be spread ex-
tensively. The delegation was headed by
III. T. Drake, who informed the commit
tee of his clients sentiments in the mat
ter. The proposition to make the i'm
provement was given to the alderman Of
the ward to see If some scheme could
not be devised for the spreading Of the
cost,

HOT SPELL IS OVER.
ST. PAUL IS To ENJOY NORMAL
WEATHER FOR SOME TIME

A welcome breeze visited st. Paul yes
terday afternoon shortly after l o'clock,
and in less than an hour the temperature
had dropped IA degrees, from 20 to TO-
and the hot spell was temporarily, at
least, at an end. The relief was thank
fully appreciated by thousands who had
sweltered in the boiling sun for three
days and the announcement that thunder
showers will assist in keeping the
weather at a bearahle point for some
days to come VIII be welcome news.
It appears that the barometric pres
sure has taken a big rise, and that
the sudden drop in the temperature is
primarily due to this. The hot wave
has moved off to the north, and from
Winnipeg will probably come reports of
genuine prostration weather. All over
the middle Northwest the cooler weather
was general yesterday, and SO far as
the instruments by the official observer
can inform him, there is no danger of
an early return of oppressive heat.

TO BUY DAVIDSON TRACT
CITY WILL SECURE ANOTHER POR-
TION OF MARKET SITE

If the recommendations Of the commit
tee on streets of the board Of aldermen
prevail, the city will become owner Of
the Davidson tract of land on Jackson
street for market purposes. Under the
arrangement he Is to receive $1,000, the
city to be given a deed and pledge it
self to pay the remainder when next
years taxes become available.
Under a recent decision handed down
by the district court, the law permitting.
the condemnation proceedings by which
the site for the market house was Sc
cured was declared unconstitutional, and
this shut the city out from securing the
Bartol tract, which constituted one Of
the three pieces condemned. With the
Bartol piece in litigation, the Davidson
tract was undesirable, but the city, by
dumping dirt on it, and committing other
depredations, was liable for damages,
and, in view of this, it was thought bet
ter by the committee to make the pur-
chase. The Bartol piece will be secured
eventually, even if it has to be con-
demned for street purposes.
