LIGHT FOR PARKS
Prof. Arthur E. Haynes ofthe Uni
versity Has a Plan.
USE POWER FROM DAM NO. !
The Right to It's Use to BE Obtained
From the Govern
ment.

Professor Arthur E. Haynes Of the state
university has suggested q plan that
would seem to be worthy Of the careful
consideration Of the park board and of
the loyal support Of Minneapolitans gem
orally. 1t is this, that the park board OBJ
tain from the government the free use Of
the water power of dam No. 9. to be con-
structed below Meeker island, as a partial
return for the surrender of the board S
riparian rights on the shores Of the sites
of both dam No. 1 and No. g. This mower.
he suggests, could be used in lighting the
river banks, the parks and the parkways
of the city, and the surplus power could be
sold and the receipts used for park main-
tenance. This is the way Professor
Haynes puts the proposition.
In view of the fact that the park board has
generously granted to the United States gov
eminent the riparian rights necessary for the
construction of dam and lock No 2, lust be-
low Meeker island, also the same rights on
the west bank Of the river at Minnehaha mark
for dam and lock No. 1, it would seem only
fair concession that the government should
in return, grant the right to the park board
of the free use, at least, of the water powe,
produced by dam No. 2. ~
believe that the board should begin an act
i've campaign at once to secure such a con-
cession from the government, and that it
should not cease it's efforts in this direction
until its object is accomplished With this
power, by putting in proper electric plant
to utilize it, the board could magnificently
light up both banks of the river and the rest
of the entire system Of parks and parkways
of the city, while it would still have large
surplus of electric power to rent, the income
from which could be used for the maintenance
of the parks. 1t seems to me that this is a
matter worthy the hearty support of every
Minneapolitan.

A SHORTAGE OF HORSES
He Is Telling Farmers How to Meet

stitutes.

superintendent O.. c.. Gregg has Just
returned from the farmers institute at
L1tch1ield, and declares the institute to
nave been record breaker in a town
which always turns out full attendance.
An exchange OF speakers has been ar
ranged With other states and the plan is a
| success. Among those who will come
to this state during the winter is DR.. G..
D. Smead of New York, who is known to
be one Of the best authorities on the
rearing and feeding of horses. He has
been making study OF the great central
horse markets. AS an expert horsemau
he predicts that very soon we shall be
confronted with horse shortage. His
| talks this winter will call the attention
of the farmers of our state to this fact
and at the same time give clear and
concise instructions relative to the
quality OF horses which must be- bred in

ket. .. f. ~s grrss3f. - 4. as u. -
Superintendent B. WsMcKeen Of Maine
| who for many. years has had charge of the
institute work in his state, makes a de-
cidedly useful member In this new force.
He is a dairyman with large experience
He will be particularly valuable In call
Ing the attention of the land owners; and
farmers of Minnesota to the need of pre-
serving and adding to the fertility of their
soils before they suffer depletion by that
cropping system which has nearly de-
stroyed many farms in the eastern states
He also will speak concerning ensilage as
cheap winter feed.
A. W. .!Trow of Glenville has the dairy
circuit in charge. He is assisted by Cal
Husselman Of Indiana.

Twin city horse dealers confirm the
prediction of shortage Of horses. They
say farmers gave up breeding horses when
the price of horses dropped few years
ago. One dealer estimates that 1t will
take ST.. years to get the market back to
the conditions obtaining prior to 1894.
Coach horses are exceptionally scarce.
Those of good grade frequently sell for
$400. The ordinary farm horse, which a
few years ago was worth from $40 to $50,
now sells readily at $125. Good draft
horses command 5000 and more.

BIDDING FOR POLE
Twin City phone Co. Seeks to Cur
tail It's Rivals Privileges.
USE OF CITY POLES ASKED FOR
Northwestern Company Uses
Them Free.

The local telephone war promises to
give the city council considerable trouble
before it is over. Both companies have
done more or less maneuvering in the
council before this, and tonight the city
fathers will be called upon again to in
terfere.
short time ago the Northwestern
company offered to install in city depart
ments, free Of charge, limited number of
phones. This was taken by the Twin
City company as direct slap in the face,
and the officials of the local corporation
at once set about discovering a plan by
which they could "play even." That plan,
they believe. they have'now found.
After looking over the equipment of the
Northwestern company Twin City repre-
sentatives reported that it was occupying,
in different parts of Minneapolis no fewer
than 905 poles belonging to the fire de-
partment and for which no rental was
ever paid or offered Moreover, it is as
serted these poles are being used without
authority, and even without the knoWl-
edge of the council.
On the city poles the Northwest ern COM
pany has placed 9,616 telephone pins, car
rying something over 200 miles of tele-
phone wires, and all without the payment
of any rental.
When this discovery was made, Twin
City experts were set to work to figure
out the value OF the equipment luuS
usurped by the Northwestern concern
and the result of their calculations will be
made known to the council tonight, when
the company will present formal offer
providing for the lease of these city poles
by the Twin City people at an annual
rental Of $1,000.
The letter accompanying the offer goes
into the charges imposed against the city
by the Northwestern company prior to the
advent of the new concern, and quotes
figures showing that the municipality
paid to the Northwestern company $685.
16402 during the period from Jan. 1,
1890, to October, 1900, during all Of which
time the company was working" the fire
department and using its poles free OF
| charge. Figured by the month this means
that the city paid an average of some
thing over 1922 for its telephone service
during the period mentioned.
In case the Northwestern company re-
torts with the statement that the city
has been permitted to use It's poles free
Of charge, the letter calls attention to the
fact that under it's charter the Twin City
| company is compelled to carry city wires
free Of charge, so that the two companies
are on an even basis in that respect.
The offer is to hold good only If posses
sion of the poles, is given within thirty
days. Should the council accept the offer
| the Northwestern company will be obliged
to remove its wires.

Eggs Go Up to 80 Cents Per Dozen
in Chicago.
The rise in the price of eggs in Chicago
to 80 cents dozen is regarded by local
dealers as proof that Chicago packers
have engineered corner on eggs. Stor-
age stocks of eggs are low in Chicago and
the cold weather in December in that vi
cinity has caused the hens to clay off,
thus greatly curtailing the supply, and
allowing packers to manipulate the mar

Eggs are reported plentiful in the local
market. With the continued moderate
weather, hens are laying again. Fresh
eggs here are now selling at wholesale

Gentlemen:
We have used your Ignite coal all win

coal we ever used. I start the fire with
wildwood and then throw on the Ignite,
which ignites easily and makes quick
and even fire, excellent for ironing or
cooking. You can hurry it faster than
other coal in the morning and it lasts
longer and burns steadier than wood,
keeping fire all night If lesired. It is not
so sooty as soft coal and has scarcely any
clinker at all. We use the Garland range
with an ordinary coal CRATE. 1t makes
splendid baker with Ignite. At first

compromise on Minneapolis possible.
