ATTENDANCE AT FAIR
PROMISES TO BE BIG
Supplementary Sale of Privileges Takes
Place Tomorrow.

From every part of the Northwest
reports are coming to the managers of
the Minnesota state fair to the effect
that everybody who can possibly get
away will be at the coming fair of 1908,
four weeks hence.
Within a. few days Secretary Randall
has sent out representatives on every
line of railroad throughout the North
west to stir up Interest in and adver-
tise the fair. These men are already
sending in glowing accounts of the
state fair talk in the country places,
and judging from what they write
every Northwestern railroad will be
taxed to its utmost to carry the people
who want to come to Minnesota's big
fair. Travelling men, and, in fact, all
who are out through the state, bring in
the same reports.
AS there are still many excellent lots
for sale at the state fair grounds, and
as the rain of last Saturday prevented
many people from attending the sale,
Supt L. D. Bird will hold an adjourned
sale Wednesday afternoon at o'clock
1t is expected that this supplementary
sale will clean out the remaining
chances, and that all who were unable
to be on hand last Saturday will be at
the grounds TOMORROW. .

At COST OF $4,000
A n n
fAGhGHU AEH ga EEHEAH
Assembly Committee and Rail-
road Company Agree as to
the Conditions Under Which
Streets in Lower Town VIII
Be Vacated.

Compensation to the city in the sum
of $i0O, contract binding the railroad
company to the payment of all local
assessments waived by the gross earn
ings tax law, and the erection OF
$4,000 viaduct, are the essentials OF
the agreement for the vacation Of three
lower town streets reached yesterday
by the assembly committee on streets
and the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany.
Preparation of the contract of vaca-
ton and stipulation was intrusted to
the corporation attorney and city engi-
neer with instructions to report prior
to Thursday nights assembly meeting
With the addition of the local as
sessment agreement the settlement
agreed upon is the compromise propo-
sition submitted by the railroad com
pany and vouched for as satisfactory
by the taxpayers committee present at
Yesterdays meeting. The cash consld-
Grafton was not satisfactory to As
semblymen Van S1yke and Schiffmann,
who wanted $4,000, but failed. to con-
vince the other members.
The railroad company abandons its
attempt to secure the vacation of East
Fifth street and secures the vacation
of Kittson, Neil, Willius and Locust
streets, between Fifth and Sixth
streets. The. considerations are the
erection of steel viaduct SIS feet long,
connecting Fourth and Sixth streets.
The Fourth street end of the yiaduct
will be near the intersection of Kittson
street and rise to Sixth street, on a Z
per cent grade The viaduct will be
built to permit the construction OF
Fifth street viaduct should it ever be
deemed necessary.
The tax contract agreed to by the
railroad company is the most signif1-
cant feature of the compromise. The
agreement will provide that the COM
pany shall not only waive its local as
sessment exemption under the gross
earnings tax law, as regards Fifth
street, but also as regards Fourth
street, where it now enjoys exemption.
This waiver will apply not alone to i'm
provements made on these streets, but
to any -loeaI improvements for which
the abutting property would be liable
to assessment were itsihsld by other
than a railroad corporation

SECOND VARDERS
OBJECT TO SALOON
Protest Against Establishment
of One Near Their Resi-
dences.

If you do not want a saloon next
your residence, take UP your domicile
and move your real estate holdings
within the precincts of a prohibited
, district. This is the relief suggested
by former Assistant Corporation Attor-
ney McDermott to a party of Second
ward property holders, protesting
against the authorization of a saloon at
772a-7761s East Seventh street
Mr. McDermott represented Jacob
Walser applicant for liquor license.
who was the only one of twenty not
sanctioned by the assembly committee
on licenses yesterday.
B. S. Osgood. at the head of the COM
mittee of interested property holders
called the attention of the committee to
a protest signed by fifty Second ward
residents. He said the proposed saloon
and bowling alley would depreciate the
value of residence property which, he
declared, surrounds it. He also in
formed the committee that the protest
airy and that the saloon building was
erected for a foreign brewing company,
with knowledge of the protest.
Mr. McDermott vouched for the good
character of Walser. and, beside sug-
costing an effective if unique remedy
for the property holders, told the COM
mittee that the bowling alley question
was not within the committees juris-
diction If the residents near found
the bowling alley Objectionable, after
it was in operation they could proceed
against it as a nuisance. The license
was taken under consideration, and the
committee adjourned to look the
ground over.

COUNTY SO[ONS TALK
FOR THREE HOURS
Adopt a Resolution Providing
for Stars to BeWorn by
Themselves.

The board of county commissioners
met yesterday, wrangled for three and
a half hours, but transacted little bust
ness.
Bids were opened for the drilling Of
the artesian wells at White Bear lake,
but no action was taken. all of the
bids being laid over for a week. The
lowest bid was that of Martin Hol-
land. whose price on two wells. 800
feet deep, was $2,035 each. There was
some objection to placing the wells on
property not owned by the county, and
when it was suggested that the county
purchase the land upon which to To-
cate the wells and proposed pump
house, there was an objection made by
Mayor Smith, who strongly opposed
the expenditure of any money for land
upon which to bore the wells
L. P. Ordway representing the White
Bear people, assured the board that the
site would be provided by the White
Bear people, and that the county would
be at no expense whatever for the
land. The commissioners were unable
to reach an agreement regarding the
matter, and it was decided to wait an
other week before doing anything.
When the board came to approve the
claims, County Commissioner Pottgie-
ser objected to the payment of bill
rendered by John KerWin, chairman
of the county board of control. for sun
dry supplies charged against his con-
tingent fund. Mr.. Pottgieser thought
bills for printing, Gas and such charges
should not be paid out of the emer-
gency fund, when the parties furnish
ing the supplies might send their bills
to the county board. the same as did
other people. The bill was finally al
lowed after some argument.
County Commissioner Seng secured
the passage of a resolution providing
for stars for the county commissioners.
Mr.. Seng declared that If he had been
possessed of such a star or badge of
authority he could have arrested a
man for abusing a. horse.
J. L. Strauch, the salary loan man,
whose safe and desk were seized for
delinquent personal property taxes and
carted away in the sheriff's van, ap-
peared before the commissioners and
offered to pay half of the SIS which
had been charged against him. The
board could see no reason for allowing
the reduction, and refused to accept
the offer.
