TALKED OF STEVENSON
DIR. BURTON PAYS ENTHUSIASTIC
TRIBUTE TO THE SCOTSMAN
Considers Him as an Essayist, and
PronOunces Him the Master of
! His Generation, and His
Words Gospel.

..Robert Louis Stevenson was the sub
:iect of DR.. Richard Burtons lecture last
evening at the Park Congregational
church AS usual, a large and apprecla-
tive audience, made up largely OF Wom-
en-. listened to the lecturer. Dr.. Burton
dwelt especially on those qualities in
Stevenson that critics have pronounced
the most characteristic. He pointed out
admirably the essayist's determined vital
ity. He called attention to the fact that
this vitality icolaged every page that Ste
yenson even wrote. His style DE-. Bur
ton agreed was,ceura geous, archaic, Wig
orous. yet kaneda with delicate fancy. The
writer was a man to know as well as
man to admire The lecturer thought
the younger. group of writers was per-
fectiy justified in looking upon the es-
sayist and novelist as master. Dr. Bur
ton intimated that he himself regarded
him as SUCH . Steyenson,s NICE cholce
of words, his SINCERITY, his humaheness
these things made whatever ne Wrots
eminently convincing. DR.. Burton sta.oa
that he not. only found Stevenson aestne-
tically satisfying; he accepted MIN DIS
gospel as weH.tt (.
DR.. Burton read IN MS uSuai iascllis,I-
ing mannegr-that ,,manner which is the
admiration cot the co-eds of the IT,
characteristics, bits from Stevenson's es-
saws. In the, essay. Failing in Love he
nointed out the writer's delicate fancy,
his quaint -humors. in Night In the
Pines he asked the audience TO aomll'
Steyenson's genius for description. Otnef
interesting characteristics were discover

S. M. OWEN is PRESIDENT
FORESTRY BOARD ELECTS HIM TO
SUCCEED CAPT. CROSS
Three Thousand Acres of Forfeited
Land in Northern Minnesota Is
Reported as Rest Suited
for Forestry.

At a meeting of the state forestry
board held at the capitol yesterday
afternoon S. M. Owen, of Minneapolis,
was elected president to succeed Capt
Cross of the same city, who died Aug.
81. Mr.. Owen was appointed to the
beard in place of Capt Cross.
This being the first meeting of the
board since the death of Capt. Cross,
resolutions in honor OF his memory were
adopted. .f
The board received from the auditors
of Becker, Cook, Otter Tail, and Pine
counties, reports of. lands i'll their re-
spective counties reported Ias forfeited
to the state for non-payment of taxes,
and, believed to be better fitted for for
estry than general agricultural pur-
poses. The aggregate area Of the lands
thus reported is 1880 acres. Reports ax
pected from several other counties in the
northern part Of the state have not yet
been received. -. ..
These lands reported forfeited for
non-payment Of taxes will not under the
law become available to- the board FOR
forestry purposes until they shall have
been pronounced by the commissioners
of the counties in which they are locar-
ed to be non-agricultural. That being
a question of rather broad construction,
the board is somewhat IN doubt as to
the prospects. The members who Were
present at the meeting were: S. M.
Owen, Minneapolis; Judge Greenleaf
Clark, st. Paul; John Cooper, st. Cloud;
Beriah Magofiin, Duluth; O.. M. Lord,
Minnesota City; Prof. S. B. Green, st.
Anthony Park, and Secretary c. c.

BUDGET NOT READY
ARE IN HANDS OF
PRINTERS
ADJOURNED UNTIL THURSDAY
Representatives of Commercial Or
ganizations VIII BE on Hand to-
Help Conference Com
mittee's Pruning.

The expected appearance of the
budget, the basis of the tax levy for
1901, drew an interested audience to the
city hall yesterday afternoon, but at the
last moment Comptroller MeCardy sent
Mcrd that the figures were not ready
word that the figures were not ready
disappointed.
In anticipation of hearing the reading
of the publication, representatives of the
Commercial club and the Chamber OF
Commerce met with the conference COM
mittee, but they with the others had to
nurse their disappointment.
Mr.. McCardy informed the gathering
by letter that the figures which are now
being prepared in book form would not
be out of the hands of the printers until
Thursday and at his suggestion adjourn-
rent was taken until that day.
In keeping with his past custom, Mr..
McCardy has so far failed to take any
one into his confidence concerning the
makeup of the budget and in conse-
quence the heads of the several depart
ments who have asked for an increase
in appropriations are the tip-toe OF
expectancy. Even the legal department,
which last year practically reconstruct
ed the budget after it was submitted,
has not been consulted.
The fact that the requests for extras
will be heavy this year has attracted
the attention of the commercial organ
izations, and all of them will have rep
resentatives in attendance, while the
committee is in session. Beginning with
next Thursday, the committee will meet
nightly until the budget is completed for
presentation to the common council.

WANT A FREE HAND
FIRE BOARD NOT SATISFIED WITH
A STATED ANNUAL APPRO-
PRIATIUN
OUTLINE OF PRESENT NEEDS
Restoration of Salaries to Former
Level and Purchasing Neces-
sary Equipment Will Re-
Guire Over 100000.

At meeting of the charter commits
sion, to be held Friday night, a report
from the fire board will be presented to
the commission requesting that body to
abolish the temporary appropriation for
the. maintenance of the fire department
The report was drawn, lip and adopted
at an adjourned meeting Of the fire board
last night, and sets. out a number of rea-
sors why the stated appropriation should
be done away with. 1t is contended that
it is almost impossible in a growing city
of this size to make 4 stated appropria-
ton that will meet the demands of the
department. 1t may be too large. some
years, and too small others, and the fire
board thinks that the better way to do
would be to amend tue charter so that
the board might draw upon the city for
it's current expenses when needed.
Just to show how far the needs of the
department exceed the present appropria-
ton an iteniZed statement was drawn
up. The first matter considered was the
restoration OF salaries to their old basis
This would necesstate yearly eXpendi-
ture of $12,96990
To locate an engine company OH the
West side in Engine House No. IS, which
is at present occupied by a. combination
chemical, which cost $685. to equip the
outfit complete. Then there is the chem
zeal at the engine house at Victoria and
Ashland avenue that should he replaced
by an engine outfit complete, the first
cost of which would be 14,1Si and there
would then be the salaries of the men
after the first year. 1t will cost $1,450 to
repair the present apparatus of the de-
partment.
The Midway district the report says,
should also be equipped with better serv-
ice. AT present there are two engine
companies, Is and IA, and two hook and
ladder companies. 6 and Z, and it Is stat
ed that it would require zen more men
to bring the equipment up to the stand
ard, all of which would cost IS, 4S0. This
district is sadly in need of better protec-
ton, and the nlanuf9c turers located there
have frequently complained of the serv-
ice because of the danger and the high
rate of insurance that they have to pay.
The report ALTO suggests the purchase
Of lot, and the erection and equipping
of an engine house in the vicinity of Dale
street and University avenue. For this
purpose 1902 would be necessary.
With the exception of Engine No. 49,
now stationed at Midway, and one re-
serve engine, the apparatus of the de-
partment is in first-class condition. To
replace these would cost about $780,
The two engines would be turned i'll in
the~purchase of new ones.
These requirements all figured up make
q total of $T9, 934 .96, making in all a neces,
sary appropriation of $294,934.96, the pres
ent appropriation being s2l5,0O0.
The report was unanimously adopted
by the board

ALLEN IS DEFIANT
SHELDON, IOWA, ATTORNEY PRO-
POSES TO DELIBERATELY vIo-
LATE GAME LAWS
FULLERTON APPEARS AMUSED
He Has conGseated some of the
wrathy IosSan's Property,
and Has the Best OF
the Argument.

Milton H. Allen, of Sheldon, Iowa,
whose stationery proclaims him to be
an attorney at law, has in a series OF
letters recently written hurled defiance
at the Minnesota state game and fish
commission. But as the commission has
slightly the advantage up to date Gx-
ecutive Agent Fullerton, to- whom the
letters were addressed, seems rather III
clined to be amused at Mr.. Aliens de-
fiant attitude.
In a recent raid upon party of So
called pot-hunters who were arrested at
Heron Lake and fined for violation OF
the game laws several boats and large
number OF duck decoys We're confiscated
by deputy game wardens. Soon after
ward Mr.. Allen wrote to Mr.. Fullerton
asserting that one of the boats and q
portion of the decoys were his property
and therefore their seizure by the game
wardens was without warrant of law.
He said that he had left the property in
charge of some of the men who had
been arrested sbut had not authorized
them to use it and for that reason he
demanded it's return to him. In his let
ter he stated incidentally that he had
hunted at Heron Lake for two seasons
ard proposed to do so again, which was
his reason for leaving his boat. and de-
eoys there.
Mr. Fullerton. replied, not only refus-
ing to restore the confscated property.
but also demanding Of Mr.. Allen that he
pay to the state OF Minnesota $50 license
for each of the two seasons which he
acknowledged in his own letter he had
spent shooting in this state.
This reply appears OF have aroused the
ire of Mr.. Allen for he has now written
to Mr. Fullerton that the Minnesota
law requiring license fee of $50 from
nonresident hunters is no good and 1t
is his purpose to shoot in this state with
cut paying any license; and also that he
intends to recover his property by
replevin proceedings.
AS to that declaration Mr. Fullerton
said yesterday to e g O b e: ''The
beat and decoys are where he cannot
reach them and if he wants to test our
license law we will certainly see that he
gets the opportunity to get it before the
courts.
