Council MeetinS.

The final meeting Of the municipal year
was held on Thursday evening, all the
council present except Smith and Has
kins. A large number Of visitors were
in attendance to witness the inaugura.
ton Of the new mayor and council. A
rumor was sfioat that there was going
to be "hot old time" in the council
and that the graduating council would
attempt to railroad through all sorts Of
measures before going out Of Office. As
a matter Of fact, they left all important
measures for the decision Of the new
council and very evident spirit Of good
will and harmony prevailed.
The finance committee reported that
they had examined the city tressurer's
report, checked up the accounts and
found the same to be correct. The fol-
lowing bills were allowed:

1t is always wise TO add word of
explanation unless you are certain you
n story with are understood. A
( professor of zoolo-
gy, wishing to pro-
cure some trichinous pork for purpose
OF experiment, went to the butcher
and asked him IL he ever got any spoiled
pork. Sometimes, but always throw
it away" answered the butcher, with
a great show of virtue. "Well," said
tho professor, "ths next time you have
any, wish you'd send me some," mean
ing, of course, to his laboratory. The
butcher was inwardly very much sur
prised. but knowing the professor to
be an eccentric man, made no reply
except to say that he would. Three
weeks passed. when the professor,
growing impatient. again visited the
shop. and asked; Haven't you found
any spoiled pork YETI" "Yes," said
the butcher, promptly. 81 sent up two
pounds a week ago." A ghastly look
came over the professors face; as he
stammered; Where did you send it?"
TO your home, Of course" said the
butcher. The professor and his family
had eaten the pork, but. as no after i'll
effects were noticed, he consoled him
self with the thought that trichinae
was not so dangerous as he imagined.

STATE GRADED SCHOOLS
INSPECTOR A. w. RANKIN SUBMITS
SIXTH ANIMAL REPORT.

Inspector A. w Rankin of the state
department of public instruction, yester-
day submitted his sixth annual report on
the state graded schools to Supt. Olson.
There are siXty-six OF these so-calied
graded schools IN the state eacn OF
which Is entitled under the law to aid
from the state amounting to $500 a year
and therefore the total annual expendi-
ture in that direction is $26 400. There
were twelve new schools added to the list
during the past year and it is expected
there will be thirty mine added in the
coming year
On some points the inspector criticises
the schools generally in rather severe
terms. He particularly urges that i'm
provements be made in the condition Of
the buildings as regards cleanliness and
ventilation. He says that thousands of
dollars have been wasted by school
boards in the purchase of maps, charts
and other supplies from too persuasive
agents, and that the articles thus .pllr-
chased are now fit for nothing but kind
ling material the written work in the
schools, he thinks, is not given due at
tentlon. He suggests that the vertical
style of penmanship be abandoned for
some practical method of writing which
makes speed and legibility possible

DOUBLE TRACK AT COMO
STREET CAR COMPANY re MAKE
MUCH DESIRED IMPROVEMENT
Discharge and Entrance Gates to
Consist Of Raised Track and
Camseway VIII Safe
guard Travel.

AS stated in the g l Q e, the street car
company will take steps in a few weeks
10 carry out its proposed plan Of elm
mating the single track loop at the en-
trance to Como park, and substitute a
double track, with safeguarded approach
and discharge instead
The discharge and entrance gates will
be on the plan of the approach to Lake
Harriet, at Minneapolis, and will consist
of a raised track and causeway, providing
both exit and entrance to the park with
out the trouble of crossing the tracks
The use of the tracks will begin at Lex
inSton avenue and will provide a drive
way at that thoroughfare, and also one
at the entrance to the park In addition
to removing the present danger to life
and limb, the proposed elimination of the
loop and the substitution of a double
track will DO away with the annoyance
heretofore experienced by passengers
boarding a Minneapolis car when ST.
Paul ear was desired. 1t will be a case
OF going and coming, with no chance of
making mistake.
In addition to the raising of the track
the improvement includes a new waiting
station at Lexington avenue, and also
one at LangfeTd. The plans for the bridge
work are now being prepared by City
Bridge Engineer Edmonston, and repre-
sent an expenditure of about $4,000. The
Improvement entire will cost the street
car company about $4,000. Work will be
commenced as soon as the park season
closes. the idea being to have it COM
pieted IN time for next years business.

VICTORY IN SIGHT
HEALTH COMMISSIONERS CRUSADE
AGAINST SMOKE NUISANCE RE
CEIVES ENCOURAGEMENT
ENGINEERS UNION ENDORSES
The Movement at a Meeting Held to
Discuss Grievance and Remedy
Therefor-Hearty Support
Is Pledged.

The city health commissioner is posi-
tive he has half the battle won in his
proposed crusade against the smoke
nuisance. AT a meeting of the Station
airy Engineers union last night that body
voted him it's aid in the suppression Of
the nuisance and In addition ordered
spread upon their records a vote Of
thanks for his interest in their behalf.
In response to an invitation to be pres
ent at their meeting and discuss the Sit
uation, Dr. Ohage met the union last
night at their quarters IN Assembly hall
and was most cordially received. AS
the basis of his crusade against the
nuisance and to obtain the views of the
engineers as to whether absolute sup
preston was possible, the following ques-
tons were put up for debate:
Can the issuance of dense smoke be
prevented without injury to trade and
manufacturing interests?
Can mechanical appliances be used to
minimize the smoke nuisance?
What grades of coal produce the least
smoke and the comparative cost Of the
Same2
In a properly constructed plant, can
the issuance of dense smoke be prevented
by proper firing, without the aid of So
called smoke consumers?
To each an emphatic affirmative was
given by the engineers, the members in
diyidually furnishing information as to
how the nuisance might be eliminated.
The general consensus of opinion was
that proper firing was the real basis OF
elimination, though many hold that good
results could be obtained by the use Of
a better grade of coal. It was held that
this might entail additional cost, but
the greater heat and amount of steam
in a given time resulting would more
than justify the expenditure.
The conference was satisfactory in ev-
cry respect, and DR.. Ohage at the close
of the meeting left confident that the
outcome would be in every way satisfac-
tory.
Preliminary to the work of suppression
the health commissioner will have the
smoke ordinance changed so as to give
his department unrestricted authority
with this as a basis and will proceed to
bring owners of smoky chimneys to time.
Four of the health inspectors have been
detailed for the work, but they will not
begin active operations until the ordi-
nance has been changed. In the mean
time Inspector Palmquist. an expert
photographer will take photographs Of
chimneys, that are at present considered
nuisance in respect to emission of dense
clouds of black smoke. Other data will
also be secured.

MONEY WELL SPENT
YEAR PUT IN MANY IM- =
PROPONENTS
EXPENDITURE ABOUT $4,000
Water System Greatly Extended
and 10000 Yards of Brick
Pavement Laid - Bust
ness Is Heavy.

In less than month the extensive per
manent improvements which the Union
Stock Yards company, of South st. Pau47
commenced early this year, will be nm
ished. So far they have cost S60,GoO, winch
is the largest sum expended in any ore
year for improvements since the COM
pany was organized. In speaking on the
subject last night, Gen. Flower, president
of the company, said:
Last year we spent $4,000 on improve
ments and thought we were doing pretty
well, but this year, owing to the increase
in the volume of our business, We nave
thought ourselves justified in spending
just twice that sum. We started IN May
and since that time have made needed
changes to the water plant, and nave IN
stalled many sewer mains. The most i'm
portant part of the work, as well as the
most expensive, has been the paving we
have been replacing plank paving with
vitrified brick, and so far about 5000
square yards have been laid. While I'M
proving the yards, the walks have not
been neglected, and considerable per-
ton of the board walks have been lad
over with brick.
IAN innovation which will be appre-
ciated by the retail dealers, is new
sheep pen designed specially for that
class of trade. This pen, which cost
about Sc, &C., is finished and is now ready
for business An unforeseen item Of eX-
pense was that caused by the disastrous
storm of the early part of last month. II
entailed an expenditure Of $1,000, but, on
the whole, we do not regret it, as the
pens, which were repaired, are now In
much better shape than they We're before
the storm.
Asked as to the business of the year,
the general said that it had been emil
nently satisfactory In all classes of the
business but one there has been a large
increase in the number of animals nam
died. The falling away has been IN stock
ers and feeders. due TO the corn famine
in the Southwest, which deprived the
farmers Of feed. In former years large
numbers of Minnesota cattle have peen
purchased and taken South to be fat
tened This year, however, the feeders
farms, and Gen. Flower thinks that it is
better that they should. He believes Min
nesota farmers viii in this way be brought
to realize that it pays to do the fattenlng
themselves The cattle will eventually
find their way to the stock yards any
way, and there will be no ultimate loss
in business due to the falling off this
year.
Taking the year as a whole, Gen. FLOW
er says it has been most encouraging.
The prosperity which farmers in Mime
sofa are enjoying as the result of bounh-
full crops Will react fayorably on the cat
tie industry, and prospects for next year
could not be brighter.

BATHS TO Be IMPROVED
DIR. OHAGE WILL BEGIN ACTIVE
WORK AT CLOSE OF SEASON.

The season at the public baths is now
rapidly drawing to an end, and with its
close Dr. Ohage will begin active opera
lions on the intended increase in the
number of bathing pools and the extern
sion of the pavilion
In way the work of improvement 10
now on, considerable piling having been
purchased and men put to work on the
riprap at the extreme west end of the
island. This will prevent washing out
and cause a current that will have a
tendency to clear the island of drift.
Arrangements are now under way for
the securing of the dredge at present
working on the union depot fill. 1t will
be used in cleaning out the water course
south of the island and deepening the
present pools. The work of removing
surplus sand will cost about 15 cents a
cubic yard, and this sand DR.. Ohage
intends to use in filling up and adding
to the island. The material secured from
dredging would add about eight acres to
the island in retaining portions that are
now covered with water and willows.
DR.. Ohage says he will also remodel
the bathing pools by giving them a
greater slope, thus providing a sufficient
body of water during the extreme low
stage

Apparently discouraged by the recent
