TAX BOARD rs TO HOLD
FINAL MEETING TODAY
Applications for Reductions the Small
est in the History Of the
County.

The final meeting of the board of
equalization will be held at 10 o'clock
this forenoon. During the past three
weeks that the board has been in SEES
sion there have been several applica-
lions to Investigate, but in spite of this
fact, never before in the history of
county boards of equalization have
there been so few applications for the
reduction of taxes.
The committee on real estate recon-
mended reduction of $3.50, and
presented a communication stating
that while some of the other aplica-
lions for reduction of taxes were meri-
torious, they were based on grounds for
the board of abatement and not for the
board of equalization. The report of
the retail committee was also accepted.
In its report the committee recon-
mended an aggregate reduction of
$S,155 on the taxes of a number of re-
tail firms.
A report was also received from the
miscellaneous committee, in which only
few trifiing reductions were recon-
mended, and it decided to stand by the
assessments made by Assessor Conley.
The Armour Car line, through its at
torneys, filed written protest against
the assessment of $1,000 on each of
forty cars the firm had on tracks In
this county when the assessments were
made A few other applications for
reduction were received, but no mat
tiers of especial interest came before
the board.
The final report of the various COM
mittees will be made at the meeting
this morning.

BUYING AT THE MARKET
REVIVE CUSTOM

Of Late Business Has Not Been Con-
fined to Retailers, Grocery and Res

in the Small Sales for the Producer.


The woman with a market basket
on her arm is a noticeable feature at
the jackson street market these days,
ana her number promises to increase.
With the abandonment of the old mar
ket house on Jackson street this class
OF patronage dwindled to practically
nothing, until a year ago it was al
most listed among the things Of other
days.
IF the Jackson street market" said
Supt. Bevans yesterday, has done
nothing else, it has recalled to life
class OF patronage that I thought had
passed away for good and that is the
householder. When the market was
confined to Third street, the patronage
was confined almost exclusively to re-
tailers and the hotel and restaurant
men. OF course there were few peo-
pie who came direct to the stands and
purchased the green stuff and meats
Offered, but they were not many. Now
since the market has been moved to
jackson street the householder is a.
common object and threatens to be the
principal source of revenue to the
farmers. OF course the majority of
goods delivered, but there are many
who drive up in their carriages and
carry the goods home with them.
Money in Small Sales.
est. Paul market men have been so
long used to selling in large quanti-
ties and getting rid of their loads in a
hurry that they don't take very eager
ly to this basket business, but there
is decidedly more money in it than
selling to the first grocer or commits
sion merchant who comes along, and
they are finding it out too. From pres
ent prospects l am confident that in a
lew years st. Paul will be one of the
greatest market garden centers in the
Northwest"

JOHNSON rs ROBBED
OF STOLEN MONEY
While Complaining to the Police of
Losing 1t He Is Arrested for
Theft


julius Johnson. a porter on the Chi
cago & Great Western railroad, who
says his home Is in Chicago, was ar
rested at the central police station
yesterday afternoon charged with
stealing $40 from Mrs. P. G.. Gomez, a
colored woman from Denver. Johnson
came to the station to complain that
he had been robbed of $40 at the
Yukon hotel, Eighth and Robert street.
Shortly before he came to the station,
word was received from Minneapolis
that man named Johnson had reliev-
ed Mrs. Gomez of her money Capt.
Clark ordered him arrested
Mrs. Gomez claims that she met
Johnson on the Great Western train
coming from Chicago, last Monday
evening. She went to Minneapolis to
visit friends and told him to call. He
did so yesterday and both came to st.
Paul. The woman had a Wells, Fargo
express money order for $70 which
she wished to cash. She told Johnson
of the money and the two went to the
office of the company, where the
money was paid and sealed in an en-
velope.
Both Johnson and the woman then
boarded an interurban car for Mime
apOllS. johnson succeeded in inducing
Mrs. Gomez to give him the money for
safe keeping. When near the midway
station he said that he was going out
on the rear platform to smoke. Mrs.
Gomez was not at all suspicious of his
actions.
just as the car turned University
avenue to Washington she looked
back, but the man had disappeared
The conductor said that a coIored man
got off the car, at Cleveland avenue
Mrs. Gomez informed the Minneapolis
police department of the robbery and
at 1 o'clock Chief O'Connor was noti-
fed.
Shortly afterward Johnson walked
into the station and reported the loss
of $40 at the Yukon hotel, where he
claimed to have spent Thursday night
In company with the Gomez woman
Capt Clark arrested him When
searched he had only $1150 on his
person.
Johnson denies having stolen the
money from the woman. He SAYS that
he remembers seeing the envelope
Thursde4 night, but that he did not
have 1t in his possession. He says
that the woman left the money on the
bureau, and did not think of it until
she was on the interurban car en-
route to Minneapolis.
He claims that as soon as she missed
the envelope containing the cash he
offered to return to the hotel for it,
but that when he got there the en-
velope and money were missing.
Last night Mrs. Gomez called on
johnson at the central police station
and he offered to settle for $50. He
wanted to assign his months wages
and to give her $40 cash. She declined
the offer. Johnson will be arraigned
in the police court this morning charg-
ed with grand larceny.

'"The reductions in freight rates, on
grain and merchandise, in the North
west proper (referring to the Pacific
coast section), since Jan. 1, will amount
to $2,250,000," said President James
]. Hill, of the Great Northern to II
G b e last night, as he alighted from
a Great Northern special train.
Mr.. Hill was in good spirits and sat
isfied with his Western trip, that has
extended over the period of a month,
during which time he has addressed
the farmers of the Northwest and
promised them reductions in rates on
all classes of merchandise.
Accompanying Mr. Hill were his
son, Louis J. Hill; John w. Stevens,
of the Great Northern, and w. B. Dean,
director of the 500 line.
What amount, in round figures, will
be saved to the farmers of the North
west by these reductions ?" was asked
Mr.. Hill.
THAT cannot say. The total saving
by the reduction will reach $780,
000"
There has been considerable talk of
Grain rate reduction in this section.
How about that?"
Yes replied Mr.. Hill, ''the rates
will be reduced in Minnesota and the
Dakotas. cannot say just exactly
what the reduction will be, but they
will be reduced"
When will they be announced?"
To Be Announced Soon.
''They will be announced within a
week now" said Mr.. Hill, referring
both to the reductions in Minnesota
and the Dakotas and to the new rates
from points on the Pacific coast.
When asked how the farmers re-
ceived the party, Mr.. Hill smiled and
said:
That's an old story now. They sent
for us, you know"
He referred to the fact that reports
of the various meetings have already
been published. While in the West
Mr.. Hill delivered talks to a number of
different meetings in or near all the
larger cities and in the most important
farming districts of the Northwest
The trend of all these meetings was
toward the benefit of the farmer and
shipper, and the remarks of Mr.. Hill
last night only confirm the reports that
have been published here regarding the
reduction of the rate on grain.
It will be seen from Mr.. Hills state
ment to the effect that the rate would
be in effect within a week, that the new
schedule will be announced in ample
time for the movement of the present
crop, and the farmers will thus be di-
rectly and immediately benefited by
the move on the part of the roads.
Mr.. Hill made no definite estimate
upon the crop for this year. but evil
IDENTIFY believes that it will be big one.
He has made a thorough inspection of
the prospects and is heartily in favor
of the reductions that are about to go
into effect.
Rates Low Enough.
Regarding the rate between here and
Chicago, Mr.. Hill said that he guessed
the rates were low enough now, and
would say nothing further. ~
From what can be seen from a local
standpoint, it appears, however, that
the Chicago-St.I Paul lines have, come
into line on the matter of the, reduction
of rates.
