IT IS A WHITE ELEPHANT
Taxes and Rent Charges Are Aeon

Are Necessary to Put 1t
Into Shape.

Three months ago G. P. Slime indi-
vidually, though really acting for the
Commercial club, decided to the CITY. the
structure at Eighth and Cedar streets
known as the Auditorium; also several
encumbrances in the shape of unpaid
taxes and janitor's services The author
1ity of the city to accept the gift is now
very much in doubt and the end will
probably be a refusal and the conse-
quent demolition of the building.
The question of how the city could meet
the debts that have accumulated- against
the structure have been under investiga-
ton some weeks. lie MAYORS con-
tingent fund is exhausted and the only
solution of the difficulty seems to be to
wait until the fund is replenished or the
conference committee sees fit to add to
the budget for its benefit
The building is on leased ground and
the owners of the same have been, max
ing herculean efforts to obtain what is
coming to them. Frequent threats have
been made to forcbly move the building
if the rent is not soon paid There are
taxes standing against the building to
the extent of nearly $500, while the situa-
ton has been made worse by the state
ment of the city engineer that extensive
repairs must be made, before it can again
be used for public purposes.
Up to date the city has sunk about
$1,000 in the building, this amount being
turned over to the Commercial club to
purchase the structure and make needed
repairs. They found it an elephant and
promptly returned the gift to the city.
1t is possible that the present difficulty
will furnish the initial steps in. an effort
to secure for ST. Paul proper and re-
spectacle convention hall The building
inspector holds that it is entirely unit
for the purpose for which it was con
structed and says it should be razed
Rather than pay the accommodating debts,
the city may refuse to accept the gift
and then its demolition will follow.

PRODUCE MARKET QUIET
LAST WEEKS TRADE WAS LIGHT.
RUT PRICES FIRM.

The movement of produce upon the
local market the past week has been
very quiet. There has been no decided
advance in the quotations. but prices In
all lines of produce are gradually
strengthening, and it is expected that
the advance win continue for some days.
The cool weather which now seems i'm
minent will have good effect upon the
produce market, causing more stuff to be
moved.
During the past week there was sold
on the st. Paul market four carloads of
cranberries. This is the largest sale of
cranberries in the history of the local
market. All California fruit is now off
the market with the exception of pears.
They will be on sale for about two weeks
yet.

After Dec. 1 the n1ilkman who offers

The notice is principally directed at the
sale of milk from herds not under the
jurisdiction of the local department.
Those in st. Paul and the immediate Vi
cinity receive frequent inspection, but be-
yond this district the department cannot
operate.
AS a precautionary measure, however.

department a certificate of inspection

reputable veterinarian, and attested to b.

TO SHIFT The LAMPS
BOARD OF CONTROL MAY REDIs-
TRIBUTE GASOLINE VARIETY.

The board of control is contemplating
a radical change in the distribution of
gasoline lamps throughout the city, but
opposition of vigorous kind is looked
for by the councilmen who do not want
their particular districts disturbed.
The scheme is to supplant a large num-
Der of the plain gasoline lamps with the
kind provided with a mantle. One of
the latter, it is claimed, is equal to
three of the latter as far as candle pow
er is concerned. The change would mean
an addition of about $4,000 to ST Paul's

SOUTH CAROLINA has sprung a new
one on the government. It is resisting
the payment of the internal revenue
tax on the liquors sold through it's dis
pensaries and demands the return of
the amount already paid. South Caro-
lima has attempted to lessen the evils
of the liquor traffic within it's borders
by taking the sale of the stuff from
private hands and dealing it out
through the dispensaries it has estab-
llshed. AS the government receives
an income of 5000, 100000 from this tax
it is fighting the case to the best of its
ability, for if North Carolina wins
other states will take up the matter
and the government will be obliged to
look elsewhere for this part of its
funds.

NEW YORK Commercial ADVERTISER:
When an American manufacturer finds
that he has overstocked the market at
home, he ships his surplus abroad and
sells it at price which enables him to
compete with England, France or Ger
many, in their own markets. He is
satisfied in many cases to get back his
original investment and the cost of
transportation. BY doing this he is
able to keep his plant in operation and
give his men employment all the time.
II this were not done many manufac-
turing institutions in the United States
would be forced at various times to
work on half-time or even shut down
until they had srealized upon the stock
in hand. is this system which has
been largely responsible for the tre-
mendous extensions of American trade
abroad, especially in machinery, dur
ing the recent and prevailing full tide
OF production. In this respect the diff
ference in prices at home and abroad
has absolutely nothing to do with the
tariff question, and many manufacture
ers assert that.a reduction in the tariff
at home would simply result in reduced
wages to their men and have little OF
no effect in any other direction.
