MADE A STILL HUNT
IN CHASE OF JOBS.
Score Of Hunters For Places
Active.
THEY suTToNHoLE THE soLoNs
While Friends Are Active in Their Be-
half-In Many instances Half Dozen
Ask for a Place Many Get Marble
Heart.

Yesterday was day of suspense and
anxiety for the place hunter at the
hands of council, ard the amount OF
shoe leather consumed as the half
hundred or more aspirants fitted
about, interviewing aldermen and con-
sultlng with friends, would fill shop.
For large was the number s'called''
from the ranks of which the very few
W ould be chosen.
For every place, from the high saiar-
led off ce down to that of street scaven-
ger there were applicants, in some in
stances five or six applying for the
same position.
It was rumored about that caucus
held previously had slated the lucky
ones, but whether or not this was true
is matter of conjecture only. But it
had the effect of throwing quite q
damper upon the spirits of some, par
ticularly among the present employees.
But they never gave up, preferring
to await the final vote.
Many of the members of council were
seen by the friends of the several ap-
plicants, while these latter made mud
dy tracks in their own behalf while in
terviewing the solons.
Not few of the employees had seen
years of efficient service and neither
they nor their friends saw any reason
why they should be dismissed, as
seems probable, in view of rumors
current. Several of them did not seek
reappointment, so it was reported.
It was busy day for the applicant
for jobs; sad one for many.
When the council met last night the
scores of applicants were on hand,
many of them remaining about the
city hall until very late to ht ar the
verdict read 1t was an hour of bitter
disappointment to many OF them, as
well as of exultation among those who
landed.

THEY FEAR CITY TAXES
Residents of Mound View Don't
Want to Be Taken Into
st. Paul.

Residents and taxpayers Of the town of
Mound View, in = Ramsey county, are
greatly excited over the proposed attempt
on the part of St. Paul to spread itself
over the whole county They recall the
fate Of their neighbors in the town of ST..
Anthony when Minneapolis expanded six
miles ou- from the business center and
took in the pastures for the dairy farms.
The effect Of this expansion was that the
taxes went up so high that lands which
were unproductive had to be >relin0uished
as the owners could not pay the taxes.
The people Of Mound View are appre-
hensive that they will suffer The same fate
II st. Paul can corral the whole county.
While there are all kinds of disclaimers
TO- the effect that everything will be done
to- make 1T easy for the rural DISTRICTS
the fact remains neversneIess that when
the consolidation Of the county and city
has been effected st. Paul viii he i'm abb
solute control and can levy taxes at will.
Several meetings have been held by the
Mound Viewers and they will soon orcan-
lze for definite. action. They hope to in
terest the farmers and dairymen in the
other country towns in RAMSEY county
and present such front to the leeisla-
tors from the rural districts that the Nc
Nance bill will be defeated or amended
IN such way that the country sections
VIII nave control over their own taxes.

CITY NEWS
MAKE A PARK OF IT.
The Use Now Proposed for the Site
Of the Old City
Hall
Purchasers Are Not Liberal With
Offers for the Building and
u Land.

Unless the old city hall can be sold at
q much higher figure than has yet been
offered, there is a. strong probability that
the landmark will be torn down and the
open triangle converted into a grass plot
For several months a proposal has been
under consideration to convert the build
ing into municipal bathhouse. AS, the
aldermen did not take kindly to it, Health
Commissioner P. M. Hall is now advo-
eating the establishment Of several bath
houses in different parts of the city.
1t has been several months since the
council advertised for bids for the sale
of the old building. but the highest figure
yet offered is $4,000, which applies only
TO the site. The council wishes to sell
both the structure and the site Tor a
lump sum, and it is doubtful if a fair
price, can be obtained.
Rather than sell the building and
ground for few thousands. Alderman
Westphal of the eleventh ward is think
ing seriously of introducing resolution
at, the next meeting of the city council
calling. for the wrecking and sale of the
old building and the conversion Of the
triangle into park.
1T is my opinion said Mr. Westphal.
"that it would be short sighted policy
to sell the building and site for any such
sum. If any one wants the building for
manufa Cturing purposes he can afford to
then, would it not. be worth more to the
city to have a charming green spot in
the center Of the district which is now
almost wholly given over to lodging houses
The absence Of such spots in the crowded
districts Of older cities is fact generally
regretted Shall we let an opportunity to
create such breathing space pass for
ever? In time such a triangle would be
admirably suited toN the erection or a
monument to some of the men Identified
with Minneapolis. INSTRUMENTATION II.
Stevens for instance. Within q block or
so of Bridge square he built the first
house in Minneapolis, which is now To-
Gated In Minnehaha park. I think we
need such park more than we need the
money
The idea of utilizing the old building
for central police station has been aban-
doned, as it Is the desire Of the council
to move the central station as near as
possible to the municipal court, to avoid
the inconvenience and extra expense OF
carting prisoners between station and
court twice a day. -

ON BASKETRY
Director Hicks, at a School Board
Meeting, Criticizes Industrial
Work in Schools.

Director w. X. Hicks created. a sensa-
tion at yesterdays board of education
meeting by attacking the Industrial sys-
tenn in the public schools He declared
that it was high time to correct the abuses
which had crept into the Industrial de-
partment and that it should be conducted
on a more rational basis. He complained
because so much time was devoted to
basket making. 1t had become a common
practice, he understood, for teachers to
make baskets out Of school for children
unable to do the work in the allotted time
Many small children were constantly be-
ing kept after school so as to catch up in
their basket work, a condition which was
injuring the health of both teachers and
pupils.
Directors Pratt and Hawley admitted
that there might be some ground for Di-
rector Hicks contention, but they be-
lieved that his motion that the matter be
investigated should be brought up in a
committee. Bringing it directly before
the board In such q way tended rather to
prejudice the public against the schools
Mr.. Hicks motion that the matter be re-
ferred to the committee on course Of in!
struction was lost.
Mr.. Hicks caused another ripple by de-
clining to sign a bill of Mr.. Schlener's for
school supplies, because it did not bear
the signature of at least one member of
the board. He changed his vote to the
affirmative when informed that a mega
tive vote would hold up the teachers sal
aries for month.
A resolution was passed, asking the city
council to issue the 100000 Of bonds
legalized at the last general election for
the erection of new buildings and addi-
tions.
An offer OF 5000 front foot was re-
ceived for the Lincoln school site.
Director Hicks moved that the salary of
the assistant janitor at the Seward school
be increased IS. The matter of increasing
all salaries was referred to the commit
tee on teachers, janitors and salaries.
A request from the Colonial Chapter,
D.:A. R.. that pupils from the fourth grade
to the last high school year be allowed to
prepare essays on patriotic and historical
subjects. for which flags will be given as
prizes, was referred to the rules COM
mittee. To the same committee was re-
ferred proposition for the establishment
Of a school to be included in the city
course of instruction at 'Tonka Bay, Lake
Minnetonka. Lake residents want such a
school during the spring and early fall,
to be conducted by a teacher whose ap-
pointment shall be approved by the super
intendents of schools
Residents of the Seward school district
asked permission to donate money for a
well on the school grounds. This was re-
ferred to the building committee.

TO ENLARGE A MILL
Plan Of the Consolidated Milling
Co. Work Will Begin Very
s7s Soon.
Standard Mills Capacity to Be In
creased 1000 Barrels-More
Orders From Antipodes.

The Consolidated Milling company will
shortly begin the work of oYerhaullng
and enlarging its immense Minneapolis
properties. The capacity will be increased
and the work will practically amount to
the erection of another mill of 1000 bar
rels capacity.
The Consolidated Milling company oper-
ates eight mills, the Columbia, = Grown
Roller. :" Galaxy National Zenith =
Northwestern" Consolidated A. and
Standard All these mills will be gone
over. but the principal expenditure will
be upon the Standard. This is the old
est Of the Ycompany's properties, and ef-
with view to making it as thoroughly
modern a mill as any In the world. The
top will be torn out and new story will
be built on.
This mill. which has both steam and
water power equipment, now has a maxi
mum capacity of. 800 barrels da ily-
When it is rebuilt as planned 1t will have
a maximum daily capacity Of $500 bar
rels, and the total capacity Of the Consoli-
dated Milling company will be increased
from $4,000 to $4,000 barrels.
Will Use Steam
The new Buffalo plant Of the Washburn-
Crosby company will not be operated by
electricity as planned at first, but by
steam power. While the immense power
now being generated at Niagara Falls
makes it possible to operate. even the
largest plants by electricity, the COM
pany's engineers have been unable to see
how electricity, would be cheaper than
steam power, and there are some disad-
Vantages as yet on the side Of electrical
operations. The new mill will, therefore.
be built with full steam equipment, but
with the possibility of a change to cleo
trlcity al some later date in mind
More Australian Orders
Within few days the Minneapolis mills
have entered more orders for flour from
Australia. The Northwestern Miller fig
ures the total quantity so booked in the
past two weeks at 140O0 barrels.
