May 27th, 1902.
The week ending Monday, May Goth,
was characterized by much warmer
weather, the mercury reaching 80 de-
grees in many places on the 23d.
Moderately heavy local rains fell in
Sussex, Passaic and Burlington coun-
ties on the Goth; elsewhere they
were generally light and insufficient
for crop needs. Thunder showers were
quite general on the 25th, and were
of immense benefit to all crops. Wheat
and rye are in head, but have suffered
somewhat from drought that has
prevailed during the month. White
potatoes and corn are up and growing
nicley. In the Southern Section the
transplanting of sweet potatoes and
tomatoes from the hotbeds to the
field has been delayed, owing to the
very dry condition of the soil.

DRAINAGE WORK IN
NORTHERN COUNTIES
Board Will Expend $4,000 as Soon
as Engineer Has Made
His Report.

At meeting held yesterday the state
drainage board decided to take up work
this year in Aitlhn, Red Lake, Becker,
Wadena, Norman and Marshall counties
George A. Ralph, the chief engineer Of
the board, was instructed to visit eacn of
the counties, ascertain what the people
want, elect the most important work,
make the surveys, estimate the work
and report to the board, which will then
decide on what work can be done and
advertise bids. The board will spend
$25, eco this year for this important work
A great drainage work, apart from
that being done by the state board, is
now before congress. 1t is proposed to
drain Lake Traverse into Big Stone lake
Some authorities have gone on record as
declaring that the work was impossible
and that the whole proposition was a
joke. Prof. G. w, Hall, professor of geol-
ogy at the state university, does not be-
lieve this, and lie has made a very e36-
haustive study of the situation and be-
heves that the work can and should be
done.
Prof. Hall considers the scheme eminent
ly practicable and of inestimable i'm
portance to the western and northwestern
portions of the state. The bill as intro
duced in the senate IS drawn in the in
terests of F. L. Carson. of Oklahoma,
who proposes to drain the land on con-
dition that all lands now included IN the
bed of the lake be granted to him and
his heirs.

Last evening the strike committee of
the Trades and Labor Assembly held
a meeting in Federation hall and de-
ciGed to allow one week more to elapse
before calling out the various unions of
the city that are connected in any way
with the work of building and contract
ing. They are in hopes that affairs may
take a turn for the better during that
time, and a long and bitter strike be
thus averted But if the tide has not
turned during that time then the worst
must come.
The committee will meet again next
Thursday evening, when they will pre-
pare to report to the body of the Trades
and Labor Assembly, which meets on
the night following. They will careful
II outline a plan of action for the com
ing eight, and advise the main body as
to which unions should be called off and
which should not.
When the signal to strike is given. it
will mean that nearly 5000 working
mems situations will be vacant, and the
unions will be practically the same as
those announced in Z h e G e last
week. Even the painters viii quit work,
and the general contracting business

dead several hours When found, and that
death was due to hemorrhage of the
brain, due to some external injuries,
which may have been caused by a fall
or as the result of being struck by some
one. Coroner Miller is investigating the
case and stated last night that he will
probably hold an inquest. Kreizmeyer
was last seen alive about II o'clock
Thursday evening, when several of his
companions with whom he had been
drinking during the evening at a saloon
at Randolph and Bay streets, left him
Sic eping on the sidewalk near where the
body was found.
The dead man, together with two of his
friends, had been drinking quite heavily
during the evening and it is claimed
that they We're in a hilarious mood at
1G o'clock. They started for home at
1G:l5 o'clock and when they arrived at
James and Bay streets. Kreizmeyer in
sisted on lying down, and repeated eff
fCrts failed to move him. Finally his
companions left him lying on the grass
10y the sidewalk and went home. Yes
terday morning Mrs. Lang saw him lying
OF. his face. She thought he was asleep,
but on turning him over found that he
was dead. The distance from where
Krezmeyer was found and where he fell
asleep was about fifty feet 1t was at
first thought that he had met with foul
play, but an investigation by the police
convinced them that he must have sus-
tanned the bruise on his forehead in fall
ing to the ground.
kreizmeyer was twenty-three years old
and was employed by the Pioneer Press
Jcb Printing company He was popular
among his friends and his death came as
a blow to his parents.

NO PHALEN PARK LINE
FOR ANOTHER YEAR
Full Attending to Paving
Contracts.

The removal of the old street rails
from the Lafayette street end of the
Grand avenue line, and the depositing Of
the same along what would be the Pha
len extension Of the line, has given rise
to the rurlor that the extension to Pha-
len Park will be built this year. but the
local officials deny any knowledge OF
such.
"They were simply put there to got
them out of the way while we supplied
the tracks on h1innehaha and Payne ave-
nucs with the new style of track" said
Supt. Dow Smith yesterday. The exten-4
sion to- Phalen park will be built all right,
but as to the work being done this year
1 know nothing We have our hands
full with street paving just now, with
excellent prospects of more to come"
Mr. Smith says the company, when it
does start work on the extension, may
use another route, possibly Forest street.
This would be an extension of the Sew
enth street line, would give a more direct
route, and supply well peopled terri
tory with facilities which are now lack
ing
The street car company has the Ieafay--
cite street line torn Up along its entire
length. On Payne avenue the new track
has been laid, but below that point much
work yet remains to be done.

the canvass among the business men of
the city has entered actively upon it's
work. but thus far has not completed
the system which is to be followed, and
therefore has not yet reported to the

shall be done as thoroughly and syste-

securing names for the city directory.
to the end that none shall be allowed to
escape, and that much pressure shall be
brought to bear upon each Individual as
will induce him to contribute his fair
proportion to the project

will have completed its duties and the

The West Side Improvement assocIa-
ton has been building much on the
hope that the Burlington, Cedar Rap
ids & Northern railroad which ia t0
shortly invade that territory, would use
the river bank as a route for it's Tracks.
but the chances just now for this are
decidedly slim
Such eXorbitant rates, it is said. have
been asked for some Of the levee prou-
erty that the company has about
abandoned that route, and Will build i'm
stead directly across what is known as
the West side meadows. This viii be a
more direct line to the belt line bridge.
but it viii not serve as much territory
as it would were the river followed
Construction along the river would
have neCessitated an embankment 0f
considerable height, and this the inn
prOvement association had in mind for
the preservation of the fats from fu-
ture disastrous foods. With the Union
Depot company making another fill i'm

ton is more than ever concerned about
the flats. cOntending that if another
flood does come the West side viii suf-
fer to the extent that it's growing reDu-
tatiOn as a manufacturing center W.Il

being considered Of appealing direct TO
the council for an appropriation to build
a breakwater.
The weather department says that
lack Of snow left the ground in such
shape that it at present absorbs moisture
readily thus removing any possibility of
a food but there are many who be-
lieve that May will be a record breaker
in point Of moisture. and the bruut Of
the fall will be suffered by property
along the river. The river just now is
quite low, but it is coming up rapidly.

by the strike, and considerable censure
is forthcoming from every quarter, some
for one side and some for the other while
some lay blame at the door Of both.
: Building is at the present time tied up
as tight as though there wasn't man
within thousand miles of st. Paul who
knew the first principle of building, and.
in the meantime the people are clamoring
to have their work completed. Some
assert that a strike has to last just SO
long anyway, and as soon as it has last
ed long enough, both sides will give
ground, and the affair will be settled up.
The information was handed out Of
ficially last night that there would be-
no more hauling for contractors affiliated
with the Builders Exchange, but mas
much as this same action was decided on
a week ago, Notwithstanding denials to.
the contrary, and published in g
GIob at the time. it has little bear.
ing on the strike question.
