Minnesota's First Editor.

white heat, the uptown men made an
attempt to have the president remove
Goodrich from office, which they finally
accomplished Goodhue. as Goodrich S
friend, by the way of frontier amuSe-
ment, wrote an editorial for the Pioneer
which it is not necessary to reproduce
for the purpose of this paper, but which
IN fact was a severe arrafgnment of
Judge Cooper as "a sot'' "a BRUTE IAN
ass, "a profigate vagabond, and closed
as follows: Feeling some resentment for
the wrongs our territory has SO long suf-
Tered by these men, pressing upon us
like dispensation of wrath-a judgment

nour when Egypt went lousy, we sat
down to write this article with some Bit

AS matter of course, such an article
IN community where every man of
character carried a revolver in his pock-
ct and a bowleknife in his side pocket,
might have been expected to lead to
trouDie. Joseph Cooper, who was
brother of the judge, vino was then alb
sent from the territory. as soon as his
attention was called to the article, pub
tcly announced that he would kill the
scoundrel (Goodhue) on sight, that no
man could write such an article about
his brother and live twenty-four hours.
Goodhue heard of LdS threats and gov
erned himself accordingly. He secured
a revolver and, in addition, carried in his
trousers pocket 'Derringer.' Coop
err had previously armed himself with q
revolver and a bowieknife.
Pistols Brought Into Play.
On the 10th day OF January 1851, lit
tie after noon, on the adjournment OF
the territorial legislature, which met
that winter in the Rice House. which
stood where the Metropolitan hotel now
stands, the members of the legislature
and other were coming down stairs,
Goodhue being in the crowd. AS they
reached the street Cooper who had been
lying in wait for Goodhue, advanced TO-
wards Goodhue, drawing his pistol as he
advanced, and exclaimed: Il will blow
your brains outi" AS Cooper
advanced, Goodhue drew MS revolver,
and each commenced firing almost sim
ultaneously, doing but very little injury
to any one, except shooting young Ran
dell in the heel. The members of the
legislature, and the lobby, kept boobing
around like a lot Of jumping jacks dodg-
ing around here and there to keep from
getting shot. In fact, they were justified
in doing this, as Cooper and 3oodhue,
lodging here and there were as likely TO
shoot some other fellow as one another.
Sheriff G. P. V. Lull then ran up, jump
ed In between them, commanded the
peace and disarmed both parties, as ne
thought, taking a revolver from each
one of them. Cooper, however, mad

Goodhue had Derringers pistol left with
which they renewed the fight. A friend
OF CoopeTS rushed up and threw his arms
around Goodhue from mis- back, and held
him while Cooper rushed UP and stabbed

ONE POINT DEFECTIVE
AUDITOR HALDEN, OF DULUTH,
CRITICISElS TAX LAW.

County Auditor Halden, of st. Louis
county, is one Of the leading candidates
to succeed State Auditor Dunn, and his
opinion of the report of the tax COM
mission is the1 efore interesting He
says:
Il have had only time to glance at the
provisions of the proposed new tax CODE
said Auditor Halden, en- route for Nor
way, but have taken a copy with nc
to study on my journey, and shall have
about a month of travelling with not
much to do besides studying the proposed
code.
go far as I could tell at glance, the
law seems to have many very excel
lem features. In many respects it is
certainly far ahead of the present sys-
tern, particularly regarding the assess
ment of personal property The ma
ch3nery seems to be much better, and
passed, if much better results are net
the result. The provision for the tax
aticn of franchises is a good one That
IS something We have often tried in
TINS country but without much success
'In one point the law seems to me to
be defective, and that is in the pro-
posed at the annual tax sales to sell
property on which taxes are delinquent
ID the party that will take the lowest
rate of interest. L may be wrong, but it
seems to me tGat thar will work out to
tire disadvantage of the public. 1t is
too much like the forfeited tax law, the
purpose of which was defeated by A
tenderness for owners of property.
w Eeh man came. into the tax sale
ard bid Estate tax for the owner
other bidders Tefrained, and the owner
got off very lightly on his taxes The
same thing may happen under the new
law. An owner may bid g per cent
for the owner, or something like that,
and others may hesitate to bid against
him.
This is in the line of encouraging
delinquency in taxpaying, and is a step
in the wrong direction I know that
the claim is made that this knocks ouf
the tax title shark, but really the tax
title shark IS q very much abused per-
sonage. He is no philanthropist of
course. but by bidding in property he
has given the country a good deal of
money that it might not have got so
readily from the owner Mostly he
goes in simply for the Il per cent in
terest allowed by law, and it is true
that the new law will not be favorable
to him.
What I am afraid of is that it win
be too favorable to the owner of prop
erty, by permitting him to let his taxes
slide for a time and then bid in his
property at. the delinquent sale at a
melely nominal rate of interest This
is a small part of the law, of course
and 1t could be easily amended, if it
seems desirable

SAVE $4,000 YEAR
ENGINEER CLAUSSEN THINKS CITY
SHOULD OWN TEAMS AND
WAGONS
FILES REPORT WITH MAYOR
City Might Also Do Its own
Sprin1<Iing and Save Immense
Amount of Money
Every Year.

In his annual report filed with Mayor
Smith yesterday, City Engineer Claussen
again takes the stand that the city, if
1t would save money, and at the same
time obtain proper service, should own
teams and wagons for use on the i'm
provement of streets.
In the removal of street sweepings and
other work incidental to the care of the
streets and the city's needs $500 double
teams and 5000 single horses were en-
ployed last year, $4,000 being necessary
to meet the pay roll which resulted.
Were the city to own it's own teams
and stables, this amount Mr.. Claussen
is confident could be reduced fully $4,000
His figures are based on a comparison
with the amount the fire department
annually pays for the maintenance of
its stock.
For double teams last year So a day was
paid, while for single horses $3.50 was
paid Even at these figures the requir-
ed number of teams were often hard to
get, owners refusing to hire to the city
when demands from other sources be-
came pressing. If the city owned it's
own horses, Mr.. Claussen says, the city
could also do its own sprinlxling and thus
make an additional saving. He figures
that sprinkling equipment could be
purchased for $4,000, where under the
present arrangement $4,000 a year Is
paid out, and the city has nothing to
show for it at the end of the year ex-
cept compliance with the charter in that
the streets petitioned for were sprinkled.
AS things now stand nothing will be
done this year. but when the budget for
1903 is made up active steps will be taken
to have the council recognize the neces-
sity of this innovation and set aside
sufficient money for the purchase of
stock and an equipment of wagons.

PHALEN PARK LINE
PROPOSITION TO RUN GRAND AVE-
NUE. CARS TO THAT
RESORT
ORDINANCE BEING PREPARED
Street Car Company Naturally Averse
to Helping Competition With
WiIdwOOd-Many Petitions
Circulated.

The annual demand for street car IA
cilities to Phalen park will come UP again
at the next meeting of the board Of
aldermen, when Aid. Holt viii introduce
an ordinance calling for the extension of
the Grand avenue line to that resort. 1t
is now being prepared by the legal de-
partment.
Resolutions innumerable demanding
this extension have been introduced in
both bodies of the council, but SO far they
nave either been shelved or defeated en-
tirely because of some technicality. The
charter under which the company is now
operating calls for this extension, but
for obvious reasons they have steadily
fought shy Of it.
Phalen park, which is almost the equal
of Como park in extent, and by some
claimed to be more beautiful in as far as
natural scenery and advantages are con-
cerned, is now dozen blocks from the
end of a car line, and because of this
lack is seldom visited. Last year a bus
line was established, but 1t was not a
paying affair and was dropped.
According to plans mapped out by the
park board Phalen park in time will be
made a rival of Wildwood and other
resorts, where the merry go-round, and
other attractions prevail, and it is said
this fact has had much to do with the
reluctance on the part of the street car
company to extend its tracks to. the
park gates. Wildwood is now largely
patronized by st. Paul pleasure seekers,
each one of which is worth 80 cents in
fares. For the round trip to Phalen 10
cents in fares only would be forthcoming
The whole thing resolves itself into a
business proposition and one that means
much to the company.
Petitions calling for the extension Of
the line have been circulated in the East
end, and will be presented to the council

CHRISTMAS TREE FIRE.
TT CAUSED A LOSS OF $4,000 TO
DIR. WIRTH.

"A pleasant evening spent around
large Christmas tree decked with blazing
candles ended rather disasterously at the
resjdenc Of DR.. Charles Wirtn, 2N West
Central avenue, shortly before 10 o'clock
last night. The family were seated about
the beautiful tree, which had been lit for
the last time and were taking a farewell
look at the last lighted candle on the
tree, which was just Pickering and was
almost out. One Of the members OF the
family finally blew it out and in so doing
the fame was blown downward The
tree was very dry and one OF the dry
branches 1gnited. In moment the en-
tire tree was mass Of flames and the
happy party was put In a state Of excite
ment. The fire department was quickly
summoned, but the flames quickly spread
to the wood work and the furniture. The
department, by good work, however, use
ceeded in keeping the blaze confined to
the parlor. reception room and the din
Ing room. A number OF valuable oil
paintings, which were highly priced by
DR.. Wirth, and a fine piano, were totally
destroyed. DR.. Wirth places the loss at
nearly $5,O00 covered by insurance.
During the excitement Mrs. T. B. Oden-
dahl ran upstairs, and in climbing the
stairs slipped and fell, sustaining a
slight sprain of her ankle.

Robert street, Jackson, West Seventh and
Payne avenue, final orders for which are
now being prepared by the board of pub
lie works.
A directors meeting Of the Twin City
Rapid Transit company is now being held
in the East, and the expenditures which
will be necessary as result of the paw
ing activity now on in st. Paul will re-
ceive serious consideration. On Selby
avenue alone the street car campany's
share in the paving Of that thoroughfare
will fall little short Of $500. South Wa
basha street comes next while Eighth
Lafayette and South Robert street are
not far behind. 1t is estimated that the
company's part in the paving that will be
done this year will be the greatest for
any similar period in it's history.
City Engineer Claussen is authority for
the statement that paving laid by the
street car company costs third more
than that secured by the city. Where ST.
Paul pays 1925 and $3.50 for sand stone
the street car company uses granite, for
which it pays 50 ana over per square
yard. All its work is done by men under
the direction of competent engineers.
The company act on the rule that one
square yard well laid IS worth two done
by contract.

HARD THING TO HANDLE
SMALLPOX IN THE LUMBER CAMPS
is ON THE INCREASE.

More smallpox exists in the state to-
day than at any time since the disease
first showed itself in Minnesota. Despite
the efforts and warnings of the state
board of health, it has steadily increased,
and the prospects are that it will continue
to increase for an indefinite time. The
quarantine regulations are scandalously
evaded or set at defiance everywhere
through the state.
The greatest difficulty that is being
experienced, however, is with the lumber
camps, which are maturing grounds and
distributing points for the disease.
Smallpox in the camps is the hardest
feature Of the situation for the health
authorities. Not only are the men utter
~ careless, but many of the companies
refuse to carry out the regulations.
One of the companies has made ar
rangements for temporary detention
hospital and is careful of its sick. but
the majority, officers of the state board
say, have failed utterly to carry out the
orders of the health department.
The state board of health Is quarantin-
ing camps where the disease has been
found, and several camps are already
under the ban. The quarantine does not
prevent the men from continuing at
work, but the travel of men to and from
the camp is prohibited. Before the quar-
antine is removed the camps must be
cleaned and fumigated. The board of
health has taken this step in preference
to burning the camps as in the case
of their destruction the state would be
compelled to reimburse the Iumbermen.
At one camp resident medical in
spector found smallpox patient four
miles from camp skidding logs The man
had smallpox for two weeks, and he was
covered with scales where the eruptions
had taken place. Brown spots showed
where the scales had rubbed off, and the
man. according to the report, was in a
ripe condition to spread the infection.
Two other cases were discovered in the
camp and the inspector writes that
there seems to be an undisguised hos
tility to any investigation of the condi
ton of the camps. About 100 men were
exposed.
