due principally to the general fund, a
retabulated estimate of which was re-
ceiyed from the legal department. Mr..
McCardy's figures were little over $13l,-
900, but the new draft submitted by the
legal department called for approximate
ly S200, coo with a number of items left
blank to be filled if the committee de-
sired.
The council contingent fund, $4,000 and
armory expense $1,000, We're adopted as
submitted, but the item $1,000 for bicycle
paths was held up for investigation. The
same course was taken in respect to the
new market and also the construction of
local improvements, where property can.
not be found benefited sufficient to pay
the cost. For the market, $4,000 will in
all probability be asked, while for the
other item $4,000 will be sufficient.
Unless against a few small items the
necessity of which was not clear to the
members, the only marked opposition
shown was to a proposition to include an
item of 600 for street intersections on
West Seventh street in the event of that
thoroughfare being paved. Aid. Dobner
wanted it cut out and finally succeeded,
though the vote was close. Mayor Smith
led the fight for its retention, but the
struggle in the end took on a partisan
aspect and he was compelled to accept
necessary if West Seventh street was
ever to be paved, as assessment other
wise would be practical confiscation OF
the property involved. He proposes to
bring the item up again today
For the big sewer asked for by ST.
Anthony Park residents, Aid Dobner Sc
cured an appropriation of $25, 900, though
there is talk that he will have to make
lusty struggle to hold it.
President Warner, of the fire board,
opposed an item of $4,000 for the COM
promise fund, created to take care of
settlements secured by the legal depart
ment, but his views were not shared by
the remainder of the committee. Public
charities, in reality the Humane society,
was accommodated with an item of
$4,000, and the dairy department with
Sc, 800
A number Of other items were included
in the list, but they did not seem to APP
peal to the members and were cut out.
It was figured that they could be taken
care of in the item of $50, 600, set aside for
miscellaneous expenses.
City Engineer Claussen announced that
he had intended to ask for ,000 for the
purpose of purchasing municipal
sprinkling plant, but in view of the many
other things wanted had decided to post
pone his request for another year.

the budget as far as the conference COM
rnittee is concerned. The municipal court

completed The school fund was to have
been taken up yesterday, but was laid
over for further investigation as to the
proper amount to insert.

DEAN LIGGET 7 HOME:
WAS DELEGATE AT NATIONAL CON-
VENTION OF AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGES
HoNoRED BY HIS COLLEAGUES
Is Elected President of the Body
Discusses Agricultural COndi-
tiOns in the East and
South.

Dean w. M. Liggett, of the Minnesota
school of agriculture, returned yesterday
from an extended visit in the East. He
was in attendance at the national con-
ventfon OF the Association of AgricuI-
tural Colleges and Experimental Stat
tions at Washington, d. c. The associa-
ton honored Dean Liggett and recog-
nized the great work he is accomplish
ing for agriculture by electing him pres1-
dent of the organization. President
Nerthrop was the other Minnesota dele
gate and Prof. w. M. Hayes, of the
Minnesota school, was regular attend
ant at the meeting and is still at Wash
ington engaged upon other business. Mr.
Liggett says Prof. Hayes has received q
renewal of the offer made short time
ago by the government of Victoria, Aus
tralia, to. take charge of the agricultural
educational Institutions in that colony.
Notwithstanding the latest attempt to
secure the services of the Minnesota
man, he assured Mr.. Liggett definitely
that he would not leave his position at
the state school for some time to come
at least.
The association of which the dean has
been made chief consists of two repre-
sentatives from each state possessing an
agricultural college and from each agri-
cultural experiment station. Eighty-five
ing, which was the fifteenth annual ses-
sion. The association assemblies at
Washington every two years. Next year
it has invitations to hold forth at num-
Der of cities. including Geneva, N. Y;
Asheville, n. c., and Columbus. Ohio
Mr.. Liggett expressed the opinion that
the Southern city would probably be
chosen for the reason that most of the
delegates have desire to visit in the
and Sin
''The South is not as far advanced in
this work as other sections of the
Union said he, although they are now
awake and are doing everything in their
power to bring this work UP to date in
their educational courses Texas,
Georgia, North Carolina and Mississippi
each have inaugurated departments of
agriculture in connection with their uni
versities, but conditions throughout the
South are not so favorable as here, and
it is much harder to conquer success
there. Yet they are doing as well as
can be expected.

WANT THEIR SHARE
WEST SEVENTH STREET. PROP
ERTY OWNERS DEMAND AN
APPROPRIATION
CLAIM FAVORED BY MAYOR
Unless City Pays for Intersections,
Assessment ON Street Paving
VIII Ruin Them, They

West Seventh street property owners
are preparing to visit the city council
when it begins consideration of the
budget next week and demand of that
body recognition of it's claim for sum
of money sufficient to take care of street
intersections, should the street be paved.
The scheme is to pave the street next
year from Ramsey street to Tuscorara
avenue, and to do so without removing
the burden of numerous street intersee-
lions, the property owners say, would
ruin them. If it is not given they say
they will oppose any proposition to pave,
and also use their influence in electing
those that will promise to look after
their interests.
Mayor Smith is fathering the project,
and, according to his contention, Seventh
street is the main thoroughfare of the
city, and should be paved it's entire
length. The farming interests use it
more than any other street in the city,
he says, and consequently it should be
taken care of.
The conference committee several days
ago set aside $65000 for the extension of
the Third street bridge, but it is not
thought the amount will stand when the
council takes hold of the budget. The
sentiment seems to be in favor Of the
Seventh street project, and the amount,
in all probability, or at least part OF
it, will be diverted to the item of street
intersections.

stories of wild Animals.

The Y. M. G. A. course will open to-
night at the Peoples church. With such
a number as Mr.. Seton-Thompson as an
opening one could not fail. Mr.. Thomp-
son is not the only great attraction IN
the course. a fact which everyone in the
community is familiar with, but in his
special field of activity he is thoroughly
unique Mr.. Thompson is one Of a half
dozen successful lecturers of the last
twenty years. He tells of things that he
has seen and heard. He looks like a man
who has lived much out of doors and
shaken himself free of restraints and
conventionalities. Yet he is perfectly at
home on the platform and speaks with
ease and a natural StraightfOrWardneSS
and simplicity that is good to hear. Tall,
gau1ft Iarge-framed with a shock of jet
black hair and a complexion as dark as O.
Spaniard, one understands after seeing
him why his printed portraits look so
black Yet he is not SO black as he is
painted.
He is a born story teller and carries
his audience along with nim in breath
less interest, oblivious of time. Now it
is a laughable story of how a cat held
off bear to protect her family of kit
tens. then it is the pathetic story of Iobo
the wolf, which reduced others besides
the little ones to tears.
His stereoptieon pictures add much to
the effectiveness of his talk and delight
the children But the most unique fea-
ture is the lecturers imitation of ami
nal cries and calls to their little ones.
They are quite indescribable, and give
one an eerie sensation of wildness and re-
moteness from civilization.

1t is quaint and infinitely droll con-
ceit that Mr. Frank Pixley has made the
basis of the story that is told in the
musical comedy 1.-THE. Burgomaster'
which is announced for an enga cement
at the Metropolitan ha nksgiving week.
beginning Sunday, Nov "a
Briefly told. the story is of two Dutch
men, Peter Stuyuesant, whiIom governor
of New Amsterdam, and his secretary,
Doodle Won Kull. who, having drunk a
draught of drugged liquor, intended for
the Tammany Indians, are thrown into q
sleep that lasts for $50 years. and from
which they are awakened by gang OF
street 1aborers, who are excavating a
sewer. Returning to consciousness, they
find themselves in modern New York,
and are taken in hand by young round
er, Willie Won Astorbilt by name, who
proceeds to show them the sights in and
around the great metropolis and winds
UP the sightseeing tour at the. World s
fair in Chicago. 10

of "The Burgomaster, it is easy to see
that it affords abundant opportunities for

avail himself of them, The surprise OF

DISPUTES OVER TAXES
DIFFERENT COUNTIES CLAIM THE
RIGHT TO ASSESS.

Two disputes between counties of the
state as to tax jurisdiction were referred
yesterday to State Auditor Dunn, as is
provided by law in case the counties can
not agree among themselves.
James r. Marvin is the subject of one
contention in which Ramsey, Watonwan
and Blue Earth counties are all involved.
Mr.. Marvin is a resident of st. Paul, and
is assessed in this county for personal
property in the form of real estate mort
cages amounting to $4,000. WatonWan and
Blue Earth county both claim the right
to assess this same property; the former
on valuation of $1,000 and the latter $S,-
000
The other question is between st. Louis
and Carleton counties ass>to which of
them has the right to collect taxes4en a
logging railroad owned by the Mitchell &
Mcclure Lumber Company, Of. Duluth.
The valuation placed upon the road is
$4,000. The road is in Carleton county,
and is used for the purpose of convey
ing logs to the ST. Louis river to be float
ed down that stream to the company,s
mills at Duluth. St. Louis county con-
tends that the road is only temporary
affair, and, therefore, is assessable in St.
Louis county, where the owners have
their principal place of business
Both cases were argued at length by
representatives from the auditors offices
of the counties interested, and were
taken under Amusement by Mr.. Dunn.
