OPPOSE ROADSIDE CROPS
Good Roads Association Committee
Passes Important Resolution
Brownlow Bill Indorsed.

Much good roads legislation was laid
out by the legislative committee of the
Minnesota Good Roads association at it's
meeting yesterday. In addition to the
various measures adopted yesterday
morning and referred to in yesterday s
urnal the committee voted to
recommend the passage Of law providing
that the county commissioners should
exercise exclusive control over all the
country roads and town supervisors over
all town roads to the entire width Of the
right of way, all trespass thereon for any
purpose to be forbidden. The purpose of
such a measure is to prevent the growing
of crops right up to the driveway by
farmers along. whose land the road runs.
A suggestion Of A. B Choate for a law
providing for the assessment of benefits
against the property particularly benefited
by county roads was laid on the table as
liable to provoke too much opposition
among the farmers.
The Brownlow bill, now before congress
which appropriates $40, 100000 for aiding
highway construction and creates a
bureau Of public roads, was ,indorsed; the
secretary being directed to send copies to
all the members of the Minnesota delega-
ton in congress.

LICENSES FOR 1902
They Show an Increase Of 80 Per
Cent Over Collections for
Last Year.
Bowling Alley Receipts Increase
Heavily-The Fake Auction
GERS Are Now Extinct.

License Inspector Frank Hopper has an
interesting annual report ready. It shows
that the total collections from licenses for
the year 1902 We're S16,441.4S, as compared
with $12,4S7 as the collections for last
year. Neither of these sums, of course,
includes the saloon licenses, which are
issued by the city council. nor the license
on street cars.
1t is the largest collection for miscella-
neous licenses in the history Of the city.
And Mr.. Hopper's superiors are frank to
say that these figures do not mean that
the city has necessarily grown 80 per cent
or that there is 80 per cent more prosper
ity in the community than there was 81
year ago. The increase, they are willing
to admit, is largely due to Mr. Hopper S
strict attention to the duties of his Of
fee; in other words, it shows the differ
ence in results between the administration
based on business principles and one based
ON favoritism and good fellowship" The
license year begins May i, the collections
for the part of the year before that date
being very small, not to excel $500. The
bulk of the work of the license inspector
comes in the summer. -. r.
Some of the increase is due to the bowl
ing alleys, which have contributed $1.667
to the city treasury more than ever be-
fore. The sum of 1886 was realized from
wagon peddlers, or nearly twice as much
as last year, when the corresponding fig
ures We're $1,729. There are also substan-
tial increases in the revenues from push
cart and foot peddlers. &. =
One itenl-auctioneers' 1icenses-shows
a falling off, the reduction being $780, This
is explained by the fact that fake auc-
tioneer joints, which prospered under the
A1nes regime, have been forced out of
business by the reorganized police force

BRICK BINS BURST.
A Collapse at Sleepy Eye Arouses In
terest Among Builders and
Users of Elevators.
Contractors Say the Fault Lay in
the Material, Not in the
Type. :

This 'granary of the world,''' the north
west, which IS always concerned in the
improvement of grain elevators, has not
previously learned why the brick elevator
built at Sleepy Eye, Mimi, last Septem
Der, collapsed recently a few days after 1t
was put in use. The reason was given to-
day by S. H. Tromanhauser Of Minneapo-
lis, who invented and patented the method
of elevator construction employed at
Sleepy Eye. Inferior brick was to blame,
says Mr.. Tromanhauser, and not the
method of construction.
Each Of the brick bins at Sleepy Eye
measured 11x7 feet and was 81 feet high.
The capacity Of the bin, which was hop
per-bottomed, was about $500 bushels.
The walls were composed of a single tier
of patented bricks, Is inches long, S
inches wide and 21s inches thick, each
brick being pierced near either end with
vertical hole three quarters Of an inch in
diameter The bricks were laid length
wise, making the wall 5 inches thick.
Across the juncture of every two bricks
a third brick, as usual, broke the joint.
But this upper brick was joined to the
bricks below not only by good Portland
cement, but by 40-penny spikes inserted
vertically, with cement, in the holes men,
toned. Thus the lower bricks were
dowelled together by the spikes descend
ing from the brick above. Lateral pres
sure against the lower bricks could force
tnelf joined enOS apart only Wnen the
spikes or the upper brick had broken.
The bins were also rodded together cross
wise with steel rods three-quarters of an
inch in diameter.
: -Four or five days after the bins began to
receive wheat the level Of the grain rose
to a height of 46. feet. The bins then
collased. The pins did not part: the
cement, proved trustworthy; . only the
bricks gave way. They were too soft, and
the cement did not adhere. .
, But test bin constructed by Mr.
Tromanhauser after the same method at
Minneapolis during November and De-
cember, 1901, is still in prime condition.
1t was built exactly as were the Sleepy
Eye bins, but measures 10x5 feet and is
36 feet high. The capacity is the same
The bricks, however, are much stronger
After this bin had been filled to the top
with wheat the nuts on the crossroads
were all Stacked off, so that the strain
came upon the bricks, cement and dowel-
pins. The walls held fast and DETECTED
only one-eighth of an inch. The bin was
kept filled for about three months
/ This type of bin, says Mr. Troman-
hauser, is the best for country elevators.
1t is fireproof, it keeps the grain perfect
ly dry, and it is cheaper than any other
form Of fireproof construction. Despite
the Sleepy Eye collapse, he still has
confidence in the type.

SAM DEVERE'S COMPANY AT
THE DEWEY

Sam Deveres company, at the Dewey
this week, presents an entertainment
which should amuse patrons of that bur-
1esque house. The show opens with the
olio, the features of which are Devere
himself, whose act is funny although
coarse; and the Three Madcaps, acrobatic
dancers. Another novel feature is the
Introduction of four riders on the cycle
whirl, device which has been seen here
before. However, the present quartet are
more skilful than, their predecessors, and
their riding Is of the sensational variety.
The New York Comedy, Four present a
laushable skit, entitled ''Toodle's Trou-
bles"; the Brothers Fortune have a good
acrobatic act; and Florence Hughes essays
several songs that are obviously beyond
her. ~ ~.
The burlesque is funny, although credit
is due to Edgar Bixley as comedian, rather
than to Edgar Bixley as playwright. Blk
ley, in the role Of the 'Well, Well Man
Is really funny and deserved the numerous
encores accorded him by the audience yes

but does it's best, and perhaps that is all
that could be expected.

WILKINS WAS RATIFIED
And He is Still at the Very Mention of
Rats-Tom GrlIng's "


Mention rats to Charlie Wilkins and
he will side-step as nervously as if a
dynamite + NIB. were about to explode in
his immediate vicinity. The fact that
he has the Jumps" when any one tries
to tell a rat story, is all due to the
thoughtfulness-or was it thoughtless-
ness-of his friend Tom Girling, in send
ing the plumber a premature Christmas
present in the framing up of which he
quite exhausted his ingenuity.
When Girling heard Wilkins tell Il re-
markedly rat-taming story recently. he
determined to give the former county
commissioner an early opportunity to hyp-
notice rodents. So he negotiated with
several professional rat-catchers for their
catches. Then he hired rat fancier to
confine the squealing collection IN a
Christmas box, which looked as though it
might contain a very handsome present
The box was duly forwarded to Mr.. vii
kirs and when he opened the package the
rats hoped out like jacks in a box and
fairly took possession of the place. Mr..
Wilkins lives in mortal terror of rats and
the shock to his system can be imagined.
Girling is still laughing, but Wilkins de-
clares that joke in some mems mouths
is no laughing matter. .ss.

THE WRONG CROWN ON
New Canadian Five Cent Pieces Called In
D. Bear Queens Crown Instead
kinn,s

: w. r. Galloway, general passenger agent
of the 500 road, who returned this morn
ing from Montreal, says that owing to an
oversight Of the money makers in the
mint in failing to substitute the kings
crown for that of the queen after Edward S
accession to the throne, all of the Cana
dian five-cent pieces Of a certain issue
now in circulation must be called in.
While all Of the five-cent pieces which
do not pass muster are still good for their
face value, the government will take them
out of circulation as rapidly as possible
through the banks. The faulty coins will
then be reminted, SO there will be little
if any actual loss to the government The
Objectionable coins bear the crowned like
ness Of King Edward on the diverse side
and on the reverse side, on which should
be stamped the kings crown, is the old
head-piece of the late queen.
Mr.. Galloway will have his little joke.
"You see, the Canadian government in
sists on talking through the kings hat
now" he explains.

REMOVED A HILL

wealthy. *..s -. .~ ...--
Walter Hill, one of the younger sons,
has been employed in the auditing de-

offices and Walter has been arriving late

Hills instructions, informed young Walter
in severe, tones that unless he could OBJ
serve office hours "his services would be
dispensed with But the boys tailor is
not unkind because Walter. is ''out of a
job and it is already understood that
he will be "reinstated'' next month.

them. When they came to Dale and
Aurora he refused to go further. The
men thereupon choked him and relieved
him of everything of value. When
through with him they threw him in the
snow and ran away.
Another holdup occurred Sunday night

TREASURER BLOCKS BOND
The Premium acuses Him to Scent an
Agreement Among Surety ss.,s,r..
COMPANIES,

State Treasurer Block has had an ex-
perience which makes him strongly op-
posed to any law WHICH will compel state
or county officers to furnish surety bonds.
He has been furnishing personal bond
although the legislature appropriated $500
for paying the premium on surety bond.
This year he asked fora rate on a surety
bond for next year, and in reply the bond
companies submitted a rate Of $500.
Treasurer Block claims that, anticipating
the requirement of surety bonds, the COM
panies have put their heads together and
agreed to charge all that the law allows.
He says he will not submit to seeing the
state held up, and will get another per
sonal bond If the companies do not come
to time. x

relics when they are found. All trace Of
these relics has been lost since they were
