DUBUQUE is FLOATED
WRECKED LINER MAY BE HERE
THIS SUMMER
She LIS Being lowed Down to
Davenport for Repairs-Guin-
cy Arrives From St.
Louis.

1t Is possible that the Diamond 10 limo
steamer Dubuque, which sunk in the Mis-
sissippi river below Rock Island last May,
will again be seen this season in ST. Paul
waters. The crew of the steamer Quincy.
which tied UP at the ST. Paul dock yes
terday afternoon, report that they passed
her on the way up and she was then
in tow of a fleet Of wreckers on her way
to Davenport for repairs.
The st. Paul had line to her and was
acting as the flag ship of the fleet.
The big steamer Dubuque has been In
the mud since May q, and the task of
raising her was big one. Her wheel
and shaft were unshipped and a bullxhead
placed entirely around the inside Of her
hold. To the side of the disabled steamer
was dashed a barge Of adhesive clay and
this was transferred to her interior and
placed between the bulkhead and sheet
ing of the hull. In this condition the boat
was foated and is now in tow to Daven-
port, where she will be pulled out on the
ways. The planks in her hull are badly
started and will require resetting and
recaulkng.
The Quincy brought about 81 two
hundred passengers and a lot Of
miscellaneous freight. A fair passenger
list was taken out. Among those reg
istered for passage were L. KonantZ to
st. LOUIS, A. b. jackson ana wire, Du-
buque; E. E. Mitchell st. Louis; G. j.
Zoin, Burlington, and G. w. F. Hancock,
St. Louis. A fair amount of freight for
way points was also taken aboard The
crew in charge report an excellent stage
of water
The next appearance of the Diamond 10
fleet will be the st. Paul, somewhat Of
a stranger in these waters, This is her
first trip to ST Paul in several years.
While not the largest in tonnage, she is
the longest boat the line owns.

ABATE SMOKE NUISANCE
MAYORS RECENT ORDER Is HAV.
ING GOOD EFFECT.

Mayor Smiths recent order to the po-
lice, instructing them to take note Of all
smoke belching chimneys in their dis
tricts and notify those in charge that
a continuation will subject them to an
inconvenience in the shape of a court
summons, is having it's effect.
While by no means abated, there is a
noticeable decrease in the amount Of
smoke in the case of some chimneyS,
willie others are experimenting with a
view to reducing the black volume as
much as possible. Since the agitation be-
gan, both Mayor Smith and Dr. Ohage,
who has also taken the matter up, have
been deluged with communications from
physicians and householders commencing
them for their activity. Visits have also
been received from some Of the factory
and office building owners, whose chin
neys are responsible for much of the
smoke. One factory owner called to eX-
plain that the stoppage of smoke In his
particular case was impossible because
he used resinous fuel. He was told to
use some other kind Of fuel.
Both Mayor Smith and DR.. Ohage say
1t is their intention to work no hard
ship on any one, hoping to bring the
reform about by moral persuasion and
education. They say other cities, par
ticularly Pittsburg and Cleveland, Ohio,
have stopped the nuisance almost entire
ly, and st. Paul should be no exception
to the rule.

DAY SPOILED AT COMO
DOWNPOUR IN TILE AFTERNOON
DISAPPOINTED THOUSANDS
Better Weather ia the Evening
Partly Made Up for the
Earlier Part of the
Day

The excellent programme arranged for
the patrons Of Como. park yesterday, like
those of the other pleasure resorts
around St. Paul, was tnarred by the
heavy. downpopr Of rain which fell at
intervals during the afternoon, the result
being that hundreds Of visitors were
forced to return home filled with disap-
pointment and disgust.
The first heavy shower occurred at
about 3 o'clock, just as othe Minnesota
State band was preparing to give the
first number Of the musical programme,
and there followed a great scurrying on
the part of the crowd that thronged the
shady walks and groves of this beautiful
spot to get Under cover.
Aside from the large number of young
people on the, grounds there was
large number Of family groups who had
prepared for a days outing, and they
brought with them baskets and hampers
of edibleS but under the circumstances
anything like enjoyment was out of the
question. -As
During the storm the pleasure seekers
sought Indifferent comfort in the pa
vilions. and gleven the young brunette
with the fluffy hair, dappled shirt waist,

to dole out Ice cream soda water

with red shoe strings, created a feeling
akin to Consideration among the more
timid ones by firing off a bulldog revolver,
greatly to the edification, however, of
the average small boy, who was very
much III evidence. with miniature brands
of explosives.
Owing TO the nigh wind that accom-
panied the rain, the waters of Como be-
came very choppy SO that nearly all OF
the boats were tied up, only very few
OF the more venturesome attempting
ride.
An exceptionally fine programme had
been arranged by the Minnesota band
the members of which were stationed
some distance from the main pavilion
on a float, and during the afternoon
number of selections We're played, when
the rain permitted, so that the crowd
was not entirely disappointed, after all.
Toward evening the clouds, which had
been scurrying FROM the south Oil day.
partially disappeared, and, greatly to the
delight of all the visitors, the radiant
face of Old Sol was visible again. But
even this did not compensate for the
pleasure that had been married the first
part of the day.
AS a result of the intermittent rain
large numbers of would-be pleasure seek
ers were kept from the lake, and for
once on holiday, the street cars were
not oVercrowded and there was seating
room for all comers. Aside from the
general disappointment incident to the
threatening weather, the business of the
street car company suffered a great fall
ing off from what was expected, and it
is estimated that the untimely rain cost
the corporation many hundreds of dol
lars. w. ~,

the Twin Cities remembers with pleasure,
VIII be in measure revived when in q
week, possibly less. ST. Paul will be made
the terminal of a million or more feet
of logs that are now on their way by
rail from the West.
This timber, which is being cut by the
big Weyerhauser syndicate in Washing
ton, Idaho and Oregon, where vast for
ests have been absorbed, will be dumped
into the Mississippi at some point near
st. Paul and made into RATS to be
floated to their mills which line the lower
stream. The brailing of the logs and the
sorting of the same into RATS Will be
done at one Of the big booms near here,
and they will then be taken in charge
by steamers which the syndicate owns.
1t was first planned to ship the logs
direct by rail to the mills at Burlington,
Quincy and other river towns controlled
b what is known as the lumber trust,
but the past month has been SO pro-
ductive of moisture that the plan of
dropping them off at st. Paul and raft
ing them was adopted
The tributaries Of the upper Missis-
sippi now contain millions of feet of logs
which are being moved as fast as posi-
bic in view of the excellent stage Of
water, and with this heavy addition
from the coast the running of the mills
beyond the customary season Is practical
ly assured. Should the small streams re-
main full and allow the floating of the
logs into the main river, many additional
boats will be employed. The logs which
are now en- route will alone require a
large fleet of raftcrs to handle them.
When it is known that the ordinary
fat car will only accommodate few
logs Of extra large size, the saving that
will accrue from the rafting scheme can
readily be seen. The railroad tariff for
logs is high.

noise-producing devices were in opera

some portions of the city, but generally
speaking the city was comparatively
quiet.
The out-of-town- resorts all received
their share of attention and during the
early part of the afternoon every car
bound for Wildwood and every train for
any OF the neighboring lakes was crowd
ed. The Como traffic also was heavy
during the afternoon, but in the evening
fell off percenhbly owing to the threat
ening character of the weather. The
street railway company, in preparation
for favorable@ weather, added to it's
service on all lines, but it was only on
the Wildwood and Como lines that the
increase was found to be really neces-
sary.

LOSS ON CHECK BOOKS FRESH AIR EXCURSION

The operations Of the new revenue law,

from the shoulders of the commercial
public, is not without Its bad SIDE espe-
cially TO the local banks, which find in
the revision of the law heavy loss IN
the shape of the destruction Of check
books.
When the war revenue tax went
into effect the banks, and, in
fact, many of the large mercantile
firms, instead of purchasing the required
adhesive 2-cent stamp, had the stamp
engraved on the checks the same being
put UP in book form. The stationery, as
a rule, was finely Autographed and cost
ly.
Under the new law the government re-
deems all unused revenue stamps IN
amounts over 81 and in order TO avail
themselves of this redemption the banks
must turn in their unused check books.

is a clear loss on the stationery.
III anticipation Of the new law, the
banks have been keeping their stock OF
stamped stationery as low as possible,
but desite this fact their loss Is heavy
It will amount to fully 5000 for St
Paul alone.
AS the loss in this respect Is general

ably be made to secure reimbursement.

afternoon the service was doubled, but
every car was forced to leave as MANY
persons behind as were crowded into

frequent passing on the road, and the
delays at the switches were not enjoyed
by the sweltering individuals who had
