~HENNEPIN HEARD FROM
Property Owners Protest Thnt Their
Assessments Are High.

Assessments Are High.
More down town property owners had
session with the board of equalization
yesterday. This time the Kennepin av-
enue owners were chiefly represented.
They made the same objection presented
by the Nicollet and First avenue own
ers the day before that their property
had been assessed far beyond it's actual
value. City Assessor Fort agreed that
there was more justice in the complaint of
the @Hennepin avenue men than in that
lodged by the men from the retail CEN
ter. While it was fact, he said. that
values were constantly going up in the
congested shopping district, it was equal
ly true that there was little, if any, de-
velopment on Hennepin avenue, which had
barely held it's own as a prominent bus1-
ness street for years past. Mr.. Fort made
this statement in a private conversa-
tion. He did not say that he would be
disposed, on that account, to cut down
his estimates on Hennepin avenue. 49,,
One of the principal objectors was j.
Frank Conklin, who protested emphatical-
ly against the valuation placed upon the
| Temple Court building, figure consider
ably in excess of the 1900 assessment.
e. G. Walton made bold to say yesterday
| that the Nicollet avenue owners and those
| interested in the rapidly developing cross
| streets between Hennepin and First av-
enues above Third street, really had no
kick coming. He even declared that the
majority of owners were satisfied with
| the SCALE In no case were the owners
being forced to pay any more than they
should in town of this size, was the
way he put it.

CHINCH BUG TRAPS
State EntomolOgtst Tells How to
Prepare Them.

=. .-.
Professor F. L. Washburn, state ento-
mologist, is sending out circulars telling
farmers how to deal with the chinch bug,
which is making it's, appearance in certain
sections. These circulars say: Fl. 5.
We do not know of any means of killing
the, chinch bugs in the grain; they may, how
ever, be trapped and killed without much Ia
Dor after they leave the grain and start to
attack the corn PloW a furrow around your
corn in such way that the sleeper side is
towards the corn. Drag. a small log back and
forth in this furrow until it becomes very
dusty It must be kept dusty. Bore post
holes ten to twelve inches deep, or even less,
along the bottom of this furrow at intervals
Of about a rod. If the furrow is we'll made,
the bugs cannot cross 1t, and finally collect
ir the post holes, where they may be killed
by kerosene or hot water. :
In wet weather the dust furrow is impos-
siblo. At such times the bugs may be stopped
by means of a tar line. Pour tar to the
width Of two or threef inches around your
corn field or upon the side Of the field at
tackled by the bugs. While this tar line re-
mains sticky the bugs will not cross it. 1t
should be renewed occasionally. Bore post
holes on the side of the tar line away from
the corn and the bugs travelling along the
line of the tar to find means of crossing
will fall into these holes, where they may be
killed. Even If the bugs have reached the
outer rows of corn, they may be stopped by
a dust furrow or tar line between, the outer
rows and the remaining lcorn, and the bugs
in the outer rows may be killed with kero-
sene emulsion, one part to ten parts of wa
ter. Pure kerosene may also be used If one
does not care to save these outer rows Of
corn Farmers should practice clean farm
ing; that is, in the. fall rubbish should be
burned as far as possible For chinch bugs
hibernate in rubbish collected in corners, in
old straw, in hay stacks. in, corn shocks and
in rubbish generally. The grain fields nearest
these sources where the thugs pass the win
ter will probably be the first to be infested

UNIQUE DITCHING WORK
Kittson County Drain Runs
Through a Floating Bog.

The state drainage board, at it's meet
ing yesterday, listened to report from
Engineer George A. Ralph, of Crookston,
who has been in charge Of the work on
what is known as the Lost River state
ditch, in Kittson county. This ditch was
cut through floating bog, the work being
done with hay knives and pitchforks, and
is unique in the northwest. -
A crew of men was set, to work to. cut
a passage through the bog with knives,
the sod then being foated to one side,
and thrown out upon the banks with
pitchforks Since the channel has been
cut large areas of the bog have dried up
and land that was an impassable marsh
is now under cultivation.
Bids for the proposed Gun river ditch
in Aitkin county were deemed too high
and were all rejected. This ditch will
drain about 10000 acres of land and will
be about five miles long. 1t will probably
cost about $4,000 and four-dfths of the
land benefited now belongs to the state.

Taylor and the two other commissioners who
went up to Duluth, Wednesday," said Sena-
tor Clapp yesterday, 'appeared to have a
very favorable impression of that city's ad-
vantages. The commissioners were surprised
at the splendid harbor accommodations Of Du-
luth and at the evidences Of it's immense
commerce.
The admiral thought that special ad-
vantage of the location was that 1t was so
far inland. If na7al station were located
there, a great interest would be excited in
naval affairs among people that otherwise
would never come in touch with the nation 8

Importance. 1t recommends Duluth strongly
