Minneapolis Journal

Minneapolis journal:
Captain G. E. Faulkner of Mime
apolis will not be secretary of the state
board of control. This is not because
the board did not desire the services
of Captain Faulkner. The position
was offered to him, but he declined,
preferring to remain in charge of
Washburn Home There was no ques-
ton as to the peculiar fitness of Cap
tain Faulkner for the place, but the
salary offered by law is limited to
So, 600, which is small inducement for
a competent man. Secretary Jackson
of the board of charities and correc-
tions is being strongly backed for the
place.
The heads of state institutions have
been requested to notify the board of
control whether they desire to con-
tinue in their present positions after
July 81. Some of the terms expire al
that time, but the board valves the
point in a circular letter sent to each
superintendent and warden. 1t reads
as follows

GOT A RAISE.
Stone Quarrymen are Met Half Way by
Gus WideII.

A report was current Wednesday that
all of Gus Widell's drillers had gone out
on a strike, but that all but dozen
of them had returned to work.
Inquiry at Mr.. Widell's office
ELECTED the information that some of
the drillers came to the Office and
asked that their wages be advanced.
Men who were receiving less than
$175 day wanted $1.75, and men
who were receiving the latter wages
wanted SO. Mr.. Widell refused to
grant the general advance, irrespective
of the worth of the men. He met their
demands part way, and advanced some
of the low waged men to ST.. rs, but
did not grant any higher wages than

pay roll 1t would be unfortunate for
all concerned if any serious disturb
ance over labor were to occur.

CH|CAGO-MADE IMPLEMENTS GO
TOEUROPE BY ALL- WATER ROUTE.
First Shipment Made BY McCOr.
mick Harvesting Machine Co.

Yesterday "wednesday the North
western, one of the four pioneer ocean
going ships just built in Chicago,
cleared from this port bound for Liver
pool, England. A noteworthy event
in itself, this should be doubly inter
esting to the readers of Farm Imple-
ment News because of the fact that
the vessel carries, as an important part
of her freight, large consignment of
harvesting machinery made by the
Mccormick Harvesting Machine COM
pany of this city. This, as stated in
our issue of April Is, is the initial
movement of an effort to demonstrate
that Chicago men and Chicago ship
ping can maintain, six months of each
year, an American freight line be-
tween Chicago and the ports of Eng
land and Germany, and it is emf
nently fitting that one of our big ex-
porting manufacturers should be
among the first to take advantage of

to Europe by an all-water route
The Northwestern and her three
sister vessels, the Northman, North
eastern and Northtown, are the pro-
perty of the Northwestern Steamship
company, and were built at South chi
cago by the Chicago Shipbuilding
company. Their specifications called
for net tonnage for each of not quite
1, 500 tons and load tonnage of be-
tween 8. 200 and 8, 500 tons. They were
to be 256 feet in length, AZ feet in
beam, 261a feet depth and have a
maximum speed capacity of twelve
knots an hour. They were to carry
triple expansion engines and to have
steel used in their framework wher-
ever it would add strength and dura-
bility.
The Northwestern entered the Chi
cago river April 81 and proceeded di-
rectly to the docks of the Mccormick
Harvesting Machine company on the
south branch of the river, and on the
22d the work of loading the consign-
ment of Mccormick machinery beg an.
Two hundred and fifty tons of binders,
reapers and mowers were stored away
in her capacious hold and then she
was towed to the other docks to receive
the balance of her freight, consisting
for the most part, of foodstuffs. A
part of the freight will be unloaded at
Buffalo and the vessel will then pass
through the Welland canal. The nee
she will proceed to Montreal by way
of the st. Lawrence river and the
Galops, Cornwall, Soulanges and
Lachine canals. At Montreal the re,
mainder of her cargo will be taken on
and she will proceed directly to Liver
pool.
The Northman is scheduled to clear
from Chicago next Saturday for Ham
burg, Germany, and will also carry &
large consignment of Mccormick
machinery. Farm Implement News.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Why No New Routes Can be Started il
This County at Present.

Hon. Gilbert Gutterson, special
agent of the rural free delivery service
was in the city Wednesday. He has
been at work in the Fifth congress
sional district for the past two weeks
and does not know when he will be
sent back to the Second district again.
He is unable to say when any more
rural free delivery routes will be
started in Blue Earth county. Con-
gresham McCleary has forty-seven
routes in operation in the Second dis
trict, and the other congressman think
that he is getting more than his
share, as some of them only have from
one to five in operation in their dis
tricts. This may delay the starting of
new routes out of Mankato.
There are now 1876 routes in opera
ton in the state and 100 applications
for new routes on file. One of the re-
quirements in starting new route is
that the roads shall be good. Where
they prove to be poor, the routes will
be discontinued. Mr.. Gutterson states
that this is proving to be one of the
best factors in forwarding the good
roads movement. The rural free de-
livery service is proving to be sue
cessful, and is popular with the
farmers.
Mr.. Gutterson as just back from a
visit to his farm in Butternut Valley,
and found the crops looking fine and
not yet suffering from rain, on account
of the large amount of moisture in the
ground before the present dry weather
began. He does not think that the
crops are suffering anywhere, unless
ii he in sandy soil

DON'T COST CARNEGIE A CENT
His Fifth Avenue Home Will be Paid for
Wi b Prick Option Forfeit.

Andrew Carnegie related recently at
dinner party how he came to buy a
large plot of ground in upper Fifth
avenue on which he is now erecting a
palatial building for his New York
home, which he proposes to call The
Highlands.
A proposition was made some time
ago Eby H. G. Frick, former part
ner, to buy Mr.. Carnegie's steel plant.
Mr.. Frick, in behalf of himself and
others, purchased an option, agreeing
to pay Mr.. Carnegie a certain sum
for his plant within a certain time.
A forfeit of 81, 100, 900 was to be paid
TO Mr.. Carnegie in case Mr.. Frick
failed to take the steel plant on the
terms specified in the option. The
financial conditions of the country
proved inauspicious then for floating
so large an enterprise. Mr.. Prick con-
seouently had to forfeit his option
money. 1t was the receipt of this large
sum of money that led Mr.. Carnegie
to decide in favor of building for him
self magnificent home in New York.
His idea was to secure a valuable site
and erect a dwelling without paying
any money out of his own pocket.
Mr.. Carnegie employed real estate
broker to secure quiet options for the
purchase of all the plots fronting IN
Fifth avenue, between Nineteenth and
Ninety second streets. These options
were all made to fall due on the same
day. When they had all been secured
the owners of the lots were told to
present their deeds for transfer on the
day of expiration. Prior to this meet
ing no owner of property in these two
blocks had received the slightest in
timation that any Of his neighbors had
agreed to sell. In fact, each property
owner had studiously avoided meeting
his neighbor. fearing that by some
accident it would leak out that he had
in prospect an opportunity of closing
a sale at a big price. The owners
were nearly panic stricken when they
were all called upon to transfer their
property to Mr.. Carnegie. They saw
that they had lost great opportunity
of..realizing fancy Price for their
properties. Had they suspected that
big buyer was in the market they
would have advanced their figures and
would have realized larger sum of
money.
Mr.. Carnegie has been successful in
his purpose of making money enough
out of the Frick option and profit on
the lots sold in the block to pay for
his new Fifth avenue home entirely.
including the furniture. There will
be snug balance Of money left over
after paying for the house and site, it
is said, to pay also for the IA, 900 acres
of land recently purchased adjoining
his Skibo Castle estate in Northern
Scotland

lage Government.

The majority of the residents of
Garden City are in favor of incorpora-
ton. The friends of the movement
carried the day at Tuesdays special
election, forty votes being cast in
favor of the proposition, and forty
one against it. One spoiled ballot was
cast.
Every resident in the district cast
his vote. The territory affected by
in corporation will be $50 acres, and it
has population of 335, according to
the last census.
The saloon question will be one of
the vital issues when the election of

heavier property owners were opposed

Bristol, Tenn, April 30.-The first
day of the presidents long tour to the
Pacific coast lay through an historic
section in Virginia, across the valleys
of the Rapidan and James, in sight Of
the homes of Madison and Jefferson,
up past the peaks of Otter, so dear to
the hearts of the Virginians, into the
picturesque Blue Ridge mountains.
The Tennessee line was reached with
the arrival Of the train at Bristol
The route as far as Lynchburg was
over the Southern railway. There the
train was shifted to the tracks of the
Norfolk and Western for short cut
to Bristol, where it resumed it's flight
over the Southern road. The presi-
Dental party received fiattering ova-
ton from the time the train left Wash
ington. Large crowds assembled at
every station, the countryside and
crossroads each had it's little group
Of waving watchers straining their
eyes to catch glimpse of the chief
magistrate as the train whiSked by.
At Charlottesville the students of the
University of Virginia turned out, at
Lynchburg Senator Daniel, Virginia's
famous orator, made a speech greet
ing the president, and at Roanoke two
bands crashed out their welcome. At
each of these places the president re-
sponded to the loud calls made upon
him and spoke briefly from the rear
platform of his car.
If the days reception through Vir-
ginia is an indication of what is to
occur throughout the rest of the trip,
the presidents trip across the con-
tinent will be triumphal one. Some
of the people in their eagerness to
grasp the presidents hand clambered
up the railing surrounding the plat
form. The president received these
demonstrations good naturally and
never failed smilingly to grasp the
hands extended to him. Mrs. McKin-
ley, sitting at the window IN the OBJ
servation car, smiling and waving her
handkerchief in response to the greet
ings Of the mu1titudes, created nc
less enthusiasm than the president.

FISHING SEASON OPENS.
Anglers May Now Lawfully Catch Any
Fish Except Black Bass.

The fishing season opened Wednesday,
and several of our fishermen were seen
this morning getting ready for trips
to the lakes. 1t is a little early for
fish to bite we'll, especially at still
fishing, but those who are willing to
trawl can probably be rewarded for
their trouble. The warm weather
will cause fish of all kinds to take the
hook, and it would not be surprising
if Sunday would see good many city
people angling at the lakes. River
fishing will also be INDUCED in.
The Great Northern road has pub
lished condensation of the latest
game laws of Minnesota enacted by
the last legislature. The digest gives
the open season for different fish as
follows:
Any variety of trout-April 10 to
Sept. 1.
Black, gray or Oswego bass-June 1
to March /. All other food fish, May
1 to March Except pike, pickerel,
whitefsh, lake trout, sturgeon and
herring caught, in international
waters, or in other waters where fish
ing is permitted with metz. Pickerel
and suckers may be caught at any
time.
Catching muskalonge sometimes
called "sand lake trout') in any other
way than by hook and line is prohibit
ed. The use of light or lantern is also
forbidden.
No person permitted to sell or have
in possession for sale any brook trout,
black bass, gray or Oswego bass at any
time prior to Jan 1, 1902.
Number of fish that may be caught
limited to fifty per day.

NOTHING LIKE 1T.
The Way Mankato is Forging Ahead
With New Walks.

A city is made attractive to
strangers in proportion as it's lawns are
we'll kept, it's streets rendered clean
and it's sidewalks we'll constructed.
Mankato cannot boast of as good
streets as one could wish, but that it
has a multiple of beautiful lawns and
we'll kept yards is fact, and few
cities of it's size anywhere can excel us
in this important particular.
The sidewalk fever has become cpl
demic-that is to say the great amount
of new and handsome cement walks
going down this season exceeds by far
any efforts in this direction heretofore
recorded. Our cement walks manu-
facturers say that they have never
known such a demand before, and with
much of the walks curbing and gutter
ing are going in. These improvements
add very greatly to the beauty of res i
dence properties and are certainly a
great boon to people travelling the
streets. Mankato has been rather
neglectful of her sidewalks, but last
year and the present season have
wrought noticeable changes in this
regard, and within very short tim
poor sidewalk will be the exception
rather than the rule. In fact it is
now. There is, however, still room
for improvement, and it is truly to be
hoped that no let-up will occur until
every old walk on the principal resi-
dence streets in the city is replaced
with either stone or cement.
With the beautiful lawns we have,
further enhanced in their attractive
ness with good walks and curbing, the
city fathers will soon be shamed into
ordering permanent street improve
ments with either brick or asphalt.
Mankato is too large city and too
important commercial center to
much longer refuse to have the streets
put in metropolitan condition.
