START WORK EARLY
IMPROVEMENTS ON FAIR GROUNDS
ARE BEING RAPIDLY
PUSHED
LARGE FORCE OF MEN AT WORE
Regarding and Leveling of Grounds
to Be Finished Before winter
-Rig Additions to Grand
Stand.

The improvements to the state fair
grounds and buildings, decided upon by
the board some weeks ago, are now in
progress, and if present intentions pre-
vail, should be in fair state OF compile
ton by the time the snow flies
The principal of these improvements
which will be completed without fail be-
fore cold weather sets in, is the regrad-
ing and leyeling of the grounds in the
vicinity of the new agricultural build
ing. The grounds will be sown in grass.
and in order to beautify the square, flor
lists and gardeners will be interested to
the extent of offering a large money
prize for the most artistic and best kept
lawn, or flower design.
Not the least of the improvements be-
ing made, and which Will rebound to the
pecuniary advantage of the association
are the big additions to the-grand stand
and bleacherS. Supt. Randall has a large
force of men on this one improvement
alone.
A heating plant, more stable room, ad-
ditionat toilet buildings and lavatories
are among the improvements contemplate
ed, and their construction will follow as
fast as men and material can be Sc
cured.
The next legislature will be asked for
an appropriation for a covered cattle
ring, or stadium. 1t will be immense in
size, and, like the new agricultural hall
Will be one of the features of the fair.
Bids have been received and contracts
are being placed by the management for
the new cement walks that will take the
place of the present macadamized af-
fairs.

PREPARE TO Die HARD.
HOTEL RUNNERS WILL APPEAR
BEFORE MAYOR TODAY.

Hotsi runners Wi appear before Mayor
Sn1itE this afternoon and endeavor to
show him why he should not affix his
signature to the ordinance @Iegislating
them out of business. The runners will
be represented by E. E. Mcdonald, while
the city's interests will be looked after
by Assistant Corporation Attorney
Griggs.
Mayor Smith admits that he will sign
the measure, because of the public senti-
ment displayed in it's favor, but he saws
1t hardy meets his views. The majority
OF the cheap restaurants and small hotels
are directly opposite the union depot, and
to restrict the runner to his own prem
1ses, he holds, gives the representatives
of these particular places a considera-
bic advantage over their competitors who
are some blocks distant
Mayor Smith advocates the making of
the license fee SO high that it would prac-
tically be prohibitfve. MAKE the license
$1,ec0, and there will be no hotel runners. !"

PROTECT THE FORESTS
FIRE WARDEN ANDREWS SPEAKS
TO WOODAIEN
MinnesOta's Timber supply Being
Too Rapidly Exhausted-POints
Out Economic Advantages
of Forest Regeneration.

At the meeting of Minnehaha camp of
Modern Woodmen last night, Gen. c. G.
Andrews, chief fire warden Of Minnesota,
delivered an address on .Forest Regen-
eration,' saying, among other things:
1.-THE pine that is now cut each year in
Minnesota is worth $6,OO00,0oO just as it
stands With the growth of population
there is increased demand for forest prod
ucts, an dour main supply is almost ex-
hausted. Already in most of the lumber
yards in this state will be found lumber
from the Pacific coast competing with our
home products. For anyone who will
need to erect farm buildings in the next
twenty-five years it will make a differ
ence of hundreds of dollars whether or
not we inaugurate forest regeneration.
There are 10000 900 acres of land in Min
neseta suitable for agriculture, but not
yet cultivated, and its development will
depend not a little on the cheapness of
lumber
forestry is the science of raising crops
of trees for profit, and especially con-
Germs us because the pine has it's home in
our state. On refuse land, that is too
sandy, too billy or too rocky for field cul-
ture, the pine will grow to merchantable
size in eighty years.; There are, in scat
tered localities, and mostly in Northern
Minnesota, an aggregate of 100000 acres
of such land, which is now useless and
yearly growing poorer, and which should
be put and kept in forest by the state.
The annual average growth of pine. on
sandy soil in the state forests of Saxony
is 225 feet, board measure, per acre.
There are $4,000 acres of such forest,
mostly on non-agricultural land, and con-
sequently the annual average growth inj
the whole forest is 100000 feet, which
amount of mature trees could annually be
cut and leave the capital unimpaired.
The average growth in this country is
about the same
''The leading principles of forestry are
these: Forest that is to be permanent
should occupy only nen-a agricultural land;
should be treated as inyiolable capital,
and no more be harvested in year than
equals the growth in that period; when
young it should be crowded to promote
height growth; the cutting should be
done so as to promote natural regener-
alton from neighboring trees.
Forestry is business, and aims to get
the best continuous revenue from capt.
tai. Suppose we owned a tract of virgin
forest. According to the principles of
forestry we Should at the earliest mo-
ment, and with the ak, put it in such a
condition that it will by its growth be
earning good interest on the capital it
represents. 1t would be a happy incident
if this cause could receive the strong
support of such an organization as the
Modern Woodmen."

ASKS FOR STATE GRANT
NO PROVISION MADE FOR LOUISE
ANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION.

Charles H. Reeves, secretary of the
committee on legislation of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition company, has writ
ten to some of the officers of the state,
calling attention to the fact that Mime
sofa has thus far made no appropriation
for the purpose of representation at the
exposition of 1868, and inquiring if the
matter can properly be brought before
the legislature at the special session,
which it has been proposed shall be held
in February to consider the revision Of
the tax laws.
Replying to this inquiry, Gov. Van SAINT
has written in effect that there is as yet
no certainty as to a call for a special
session this coming winter; but if there
is a call issued, it will not specify the
business to be considered, but will be
general in it's nature. Therefore this
matter may properly come up at this
time
The governor has further stated that
should there be no session of the 1egisia-
ture this winter he will in all probability
appoint special commissioners to repre-
sent this state, who will carry the pre-
paratory work as far as possible until
such time as there is a regular session
of the legislature and proper provision
in the way of an appropriation.

FIRST WARD RESIDENTS DEMAND

PETITIONS BEING PREPARED
Council Is to Deal With the Matter
at It's Next Meeting-HoIt

Petitions are now being prepared for

and the council, with an appeal to the
latter to compel the extension.
Early last spring Aid. Holt, the repre-
sentative from the First ward, piloted
resolution through the board asking for
the extension, in fact demanding 1t, but
for some reason it was shelved by COM
mittee of the assembly.
The park is now only accessible to
those who care to walk a half mile after
leaving the car line at Greenbrier avenue,
or by excursion wagons which run during
the summer. Phalen is as large as Como
park and by another year will be furnish
ed with attractions by the park board.
The street car company is compelled
by the ordinance under which it operates
to make this extension, but it is claimed
has been holding back, because of
fear that it will mean the ultimate ruin
alton of their resort at Wildwood in the
cutting off of what is a growing and re-
munerative patronage
Another improvement that will not be
seen this year is the proposed doubling
of the tracks at Como park, with addi-
tional safeguards in the shape of COW
cred walks to and from the cars. The
park. board has not received any intima-
ton as to when the Improvement will be
made, or even that it ever will be car
