]. HAM LEWIS SAYS:
That A. ]. Blethen Is a Possibility
for Senator.
SENTIMENT ON THE MERGER
He Says Washington Is Divided, the
Farmers Being Alarmed
Over Rates.

J. Hamilton Lewis, ex-congressman
from Washington, is at the West. He
says that Alden ]. Blethen of Seattle is
strong senatorial possibility; that through
the death of Governor Rogers and the sue
cession of the republican lieutenant gov
ernor to the office, the republicans OF
Washington are again In possession of all
Of the state machinery. There is di-
vided sentiment, he says, in the state on
the railroad merger. Mr.. Lewis said to-
day:
What promises to be the most Interesting
senatorial ctl test in the history OF the state
is just beginning to warm up. There will
be many candidates The fusionists Will
make determined effort to carry the legis-
lature. If they succeed and the choice or
the fusion nominee falls to the west side or
the state, Alden j. Blethen, editor OF the
Seattle Times, and an old Minnesotan, will
probably be elected.
Sentiment on the Merger.
Sentiment on the railroad merger in Wash
ington is divided. In the first place our peo-
pie have been thoroughly instructed on the
point that the Northern Securities company
is merely financial company to hold and
manipulate stocks, and does not mean the
consolidation o. the properties. In the west
ern part of the state over which the sea-
board towns exercise much influence the idea
is strong that the combination is to be a
great benefit because it will strengthen the
north coast points as against San Francisco
and other points to the south, in the COM
petition tor oriental traffic. The farmers
in the eastern part of the state are alarmed
They fear a transportation monopoly and
the possible effect it will have upon rates.

Experts Give Opinions as to Property
Needed by the C.>G. w. Ry.
Experts on real estate values are being
examined at some length before the three
commissioners appointed to make awards
in the condemnation proceedings brought
by the Chicago. Great Western Railway
company to secure land for the extension
of it's yards in South Minneapolis. The
commission met to-day in Judge Simp-
sons courtroom and will probably be in
session several days.
H. R. Higgins, who has been instru-
mental in securing considerable land for
the Great Western railway, w. A. Eggles-
ton with Fred Barney, and Walter Badger
Of the valuation committee of the real es-
tate board, placed the value of the three
lots in dispute at from $4,000 to $4,000, but
only in view Of, the fact that the rail-
way needed them. The testimony will be
that adjoining lots were bought for from
$4,000 to $1,000.
On behalf of the owners, there will be
a considerable evidence that the lots have
a higher prospective value. w. H. Van
derburgh, who owns four lots which will
be needed, holds the four at from $4,000
to 900 each. 10 -

LOOKING OYER THE P. 0
Architects Office, but Won't
Discuss Enlargement.

]. G.. Plant, of the supervising archi-
tect's Office in Washington, is here. Yes
terday he went over the federal building
in company with Congressman Fletcher and
Postmaster Lovejoy. Several minor al
terations were suggested for Mr.. Plants
approval. Mr. Plant comes on a perfume
tory visit to the federal buildings in both
Minneapolis and St. Paul. The trip has
no connection with the proposed enlarge
ment of the Minneapolis building.
Mr.. Plant said that his Office was not in
a position to do anything until congress
had passed. an appropriation bill. "Our
position is. this said he. 1--WE cannot
make recommendations on such matters
until after the appropriation is obtained.
If we did not take this stand, the Office
would be in hot water all the time. j..
Knox Taylor, the supervising architect,
formerly of st. Paul, is familiar with the
building and SO are others in the Office.
If any change in the Minneapolis build
ing Is necessary it will be based on Mr..
Taylor's personal knowledge of the build
ing as we'll as that of others In the office.
The question of the ability of the present
structure to hold more stories and ques-
tions of like nature belong to our en-
cheering Department. ~..

Nice Red Wagons Will Call at Your
House.
THE SYSTEM IN EFFECT TODAY
An Application to the Sanitary In
spectOr Is All That Is
Needed.

IS
TheNew system of garbage collection by
the city went into efftct this morning
Only about 200 applications from house,
holders have been received up to date and
two teams, it was decided, were enough to
do the work. Later in the week the real
estate board will send in it's list, and by
the beginning of next week several more
teams will be put on. Within thirty days,
it is believed, the new system will be In
general operation. For the present all
garbage will be hauled direct to the crem-
atory. Later all that collected south or
Hennepin avenue will be taken to a CEN
trail transfer. The new garbage wagons
are water tight, wholly covered, painted
red, and are neat in appearance in COM
parison with the sorry-looking wagons
used heretofore. Sanitary Inspector Joe
McDermott will have charge of the col
lection department. Additional houses will
be put on the list as fast as notices are
received.

FREE ); TRADE
Democrats in Congress Fl
nally Decide What
to Do.

From The journal Bureau, Room 10. Post
Building, Washington. J., ..- .,
Washington, Jan. 3.-Democratic SEN
ators have finally decided to make the
great free trade fight Of the session on the
Philippine tariff bill, and not on the bill
for limited home rule in the islands. AS
signments are already being made of spe-
cial topics which several democratic sen
ators are to talk during the debate.
The republican managers have agreed
to give the democrats all the time they
want and it is possible that the final vote
will not be taken for several weeks
Some amendments are necessary in order
that the bill may be perfect. 1t was
rushed through the house very hastily
and contains several glazing errors. 1t is
believed the democrats are preparing tc
make Philippine free trade, or, at least
"a low tariff, campaign for next year.

beach claim proposition at Nome has been
very disappointing. Lane has been

expenses have been big. He invested
about $5,o00000 in an outfit to furnish
water for his beach claims and has been
disappointed in results. The entire slope

He's Charged With Practicing Medi-

Julius A. Ward, the former Minneapolis
pastor, has been arrested in New York
city for practicing medicine without q
license. Ward is practitioner of osteo-
pathy, and "somatopathy, the latter
being a discovery of his own. His arrest
was secured by the Kings County Medical
society, and followed the dismissal Of his
case against Mrs. Theodore Sutro, whom
he sued to recover $50 for services. In
court Mrs. Sutro commended that Ward had
no right to practice medicine, and, as he
could not show a license, the case was
thrown out.

THIS is Different
HoI1eben Himself Gave Lady, Paunce-
fOte the Pas.

fOte the Pas.
Washington, Jan. ga misunderstand-
ing particularly annoying to the off,
Gals who were at the White House recep-
ton yesterday, appears to have arisen
from the fact that Lady Pauncefote,
the wife of the British ambassador, with
the>embassy staff, held the place of honor
at the head of the diplomatic line as the
reception began. The rule in such cases
is quite clear and we'll established in
precedents; namely, that the ambassador
present, longest in continuous service at
the capital shall head the line. It was
through an act Of gallantry and gracious
ness on the part Of the German ambas-
sador himself that this rule was not ap-
piled yesterday. Lady Pauncefote in
formed the German ambassador of her
husbands illness and of her recognition
of the fact that he, Herr Won Holleben
was, for the day, dean Of the diplomatic
body. The ambassador declined however.
to take advantage of his position, and
himself assigned to Lady Pauncefote the
place she occupied at the head Of the line
with the embassy staff.

BIG YEAR IN FLOUR
Minneapolis Mills Ground Nearly
10000, 900 Barrels in 1907.
A NEW RECORD ESTABLISHED
On the Other Hand Exports Are
Smaller Than for Four
Years.

Minneapolis mills broke all records in
the manufacture of -four during the year
Just closed. The total output for 1901
was almost 100000 barrels. Foreign
shipments for the year were about one
quarter that figure, and less than for sew
eral years past. This falling off, it is
believed, is due in large measure to dis
elimination against Minneapolis by the
transportation companies, matter that
has been seriously considered by millers
of late. The following tables appear in
Miller.

when the receipts since the incumbency
