FIRE CHIEFS PLANS St, RY. CAR LICENSE
It Amounts to $4,525 for Cars In
Use in 1901.
AN AVERAGE OF 1871 CARS USED
The Record the best for Any Year
Since the Tax Went
Into Effect PA

The Minneapolis Street Railway COM
pany will pay license tax OF $4,525 on
the cars in use during 1891. Controller
Rogers, after checking up the returns,
finds that ISL cars were in use as against
ITO for the year before, which had been
the largest number in use for any year
since the license tax Of $25 per car was
put into effect. The number used in q
given year is computed by dividing the
total hours of service Of all cars by 18,
the number of hours constituting a days
work. The interurban cars are divided
equally between st. Paul and Minneapolis.
). Inc street car company pays into the
st. PHul city treasury tax of but $40 per
car, and last year the number on which a
tax was paid was 181. The fact that st.
raul, smaller city, had more cars in
use than Minneapolis last year is ex-
planned by the fact that more of the new
large cars were put into service in Min
neapolis than in St. Paul in that year.
One large car displaces two smaller ones
IN most cases, as in making up the list
OF cars in service both motors and trail
ers are counted With the advent of a
large number of new cars Of the large
type this spring, it is probable that the
number of cars returned for taxation this
year will be less than in 1901, despite the
growth in population and business.
Al ~. raul tne aldermen are now urg-
ing an ordinance requiring the street car
company to place a tag on every car in
use and the basing Of the license fee on
the number of tags issued. The company
says that 1t paid license last year on
more than the average number of cars.
1t is the contention of the city license
inspector, too that under the proposed
tag system the revenue would be ma
terially decreased, and it is expected,
therefore, that the ordinance will be
killed. -

LOGS COMING BY RAIL
3 COMPANIES TO USE NEW PLAN
The Only Condition Is That the Rail-
roads Do Not Make Pro-
hibitive Rates.

At least three Minneapolis lumber COM
pan1es are planning to railroad logs to
Minneapolis this season. They are the
Backus- Brooks, Scanlon-Gipson and Nell
son-Tuthill companies. The Backus-
BROOKS company was the pioneer in trans
porting logs by rail to this city. It's ex-
perlments proved so successful that the
other two companies followed suit last
winter If the railroad rates are right
other companies may find it convenient
and profitable to hurry the logs to market
instead of allowing them to take their
time. greg. .s A
The Nelson TuthilI cmopany has thous-
ands of feet of logs on the railroad land
ings already, and it is up to the railroad
companies to say what percentage Of the
logs will be hauled. If rates are reason
able from the standpoint of the companies
the haul will be even larger this year
than last. -
Mr.. Brooks, of the Backus-B Brooks COM
pany. said that his concern was figuring
on larger haul than last year. "Our
experience in railroading logs" he ex-
pla1ned, has been so satisfactory that we

one more juror was secured, Charles

The state has in reserve nine of its ten

The examination of talesmen is very
exhaustive and tedious, but SO great is

his place steadfastly.
The state is determined to prevent any
citizen of Grand Forks from getting on
the jury, while the defense is working
exactly contrary
The jurors accepted, in addition to
Dinney, are S. A. P.-3Winslow, farmer
whose residence is at Hegton, and S. E.
O. Burg, a resident Of NorthWood
The sympathy of the audience is strong
ly in favor of West, partly on account of
his aged parent but more so from the
manner in which he has conducted him
self from the first.
Fourth Man Accepted.
Hugh Marshall of Oakville, was ac-
cepted at 3:45 this afternoon as the fourth

MIR. Siblcy Opposed the Government
Irrigation Plan.
Washington, Jan. 22.-Mr. Sibley penn
sylyania) made a speech in the mouse in
opposition to the government entering at
this time upon scheme for the irrigation
Of the arid lands in the west. Mr.. Sibley
said everyone who had witnessed the
tests knew the wonderful productive re-
suits of irrigation, but he believed the
whole question was for another genera
tion Members representing an agrfcul-
tural constituency should oppose meas
ure which involved the expenditure of I'M
told millions to be taken by taxation
from all. He spoke of the decline in value
Of farm lands in eastern, middle and
southern states, yet this was a PROPOSE
ton to open up hundreds of millions of
acres more to be in open competition with
these farms Said Mr.. Sibley:
Let us wait until our increased population
shall so expand that these lands shall be
needed to meet the demand for a greater
food supply. To my mind. if we undertake
the present accomplishment Of irrigation, we
shall be pressing a-poisoned chalice to the
lips Of the farming classes in this nation,
which, If it does not kill them, will at least
leave them for another generation in torper
or misery. -
Mr.. lNewlands (Nevada), an earnest ad-
yocate Of irrigation. explained that the
bill would not create q charge on the
public treasury, but would employ only
the fund raised from the sale Of arid
lands for the work of reclamation. He
urged that. the irrigation of western arid
lands would not constitute a threat against
the farmers Of the older states. While
there weref soc. GOO, 900 acres of. arid land
in the west. there was not water enough
to reclaim more than 70, DOC, 900 acres, an
area twice as large as Iowa, and genera
tions would be required to bring all these
lands under irrigation. i

READY FOR THE FRAY
IS THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Provision for Reporting Principals
in All Trades a Blow to
Bucket Shops.

President John Washburn of the Cham
Der of Commerce, and the members of the
directorate are greatly pleased over the
passage of the amendment providing for
the reporting of the principals in all trades.
The fact that the members turned down
the other amendment providing for the
transfer Of the trading privileges con-
nected with a membership, is another
matter entirely. This latter amendment
was put in at this particular time to make
one job Of the matter. The chamber will
now have "a perfect check on all trades.
Mr.. Washburn said this morning that the
fight would now begin in earnest. Several
plans of procedure are under considera-
ton, but the chamber is not ready to
make public the next move just yet.
Everything that is done along this line
has legal side and no new move will be
made until it is absolutely known that the
law is back Of 1t. "But it might as well
be understood" said Mr.. Washburn, "that
the chamber is in this to stay. and the
bucket shops will have the fight of their
lives on hand very shortly"

NINE. URSO'S DEATH
Famous Violinist's LOSS Keenly
Felt in Minneapolis.
SHE HAD MANY FRIENDS HERE
Something About Her Early Career
and Life-Was Writing Her
Memoirs.

The news Of the death of the famous
violinist, Camilla Urso, Monday IN New
York after a brief illness was great
shock to her Minneapolis friends OF whom
she had a host. Nine. Urso, who in pri-
vate life was Mrs. Frederick Luere, spent
the greater part Of last year In Mime
apolis. During her stay she made few
brief concert tours and played occasion
I ally in the city but her choice OF Mime
apolis as a temporary residence was on
account of the beneficial effect upon the
health Of her husband and herself.
Nine. Urso was charmed with Mime
apolis and enjoyed its beauties and it's
people as much as they enjoyed her as an
artist and friend. Upon leaving Mime
apolis, although she babe her friends fare
well, it was with the expectation that she
would return next summer for her vaca-
tion and she had made engagements with
number Of pupils here for the summer.
Just before leaving Nine, Urso appeared
IN concert for the, Ladies' Thursday Mu-
sicale also in one at the university, pre-
senting programs that touched the highest
point OF her exquisite and finished art
The memory Of those concerts will be
doubly precious to music lovers now that
the rare artist is gone.
The personality of the artist was even
more attractive to those who knew her
than her artistic qualities. She was cor
dial, sympathetic, kindly to all, and loyal
and generous to those whom she included
in the circle of her friendship. She was
very simple, modest and approachable,
with gracious and winning manners that
were the expression of kindly heart.
France was the birthplace Of Nine. Urso
and she was nearly 60 years of age. Her
father was Salvador Urso, Sicilian or
ganist of great ability. Her mother was
Portuguese. Her father played the flute
in an orchestra and night after night
carried the tiny child to the opera where
she sat through the long performances In
rapt delight. At the age Of the little
girl announced that she wanted to study
the violin, and year later She made her
debut in concert. She received the criti-
cism and attention that would have. been
given to a musician Of mature years.
During her residence in Minneapolis,
Nine Urso employed part of her time in
working upon her memoirs, which told in
attractive fashion many of her interest
ing experiences and OF her associations
with other great artists. These will un-
doubtedly be published, although they
were only written at the request of
friends who wished this material to be
preserved. .as. :
