extensive improvements along the
line of the railroad right-of- way, CT
depot grounds, in their village or
city. The council would only have
| to determine, at the time the i'm
provement was ordered ard assess
ment made, the amount of the ex-
pense that would be chargeable to
the real property of the railroad
companies paying into the State
treasury gross earnings tax in
lieu of other taxes and assessments.
La making the assessment a notice
would have to be served upon the
State auditor, and the auditor would
have the same power of objection
and appeal as an individual. In
case the assessment was perfect the
State auditor would have to, on or
before March lst of each year, send
his warrant for the amount charged
up against the property of the rail
road company.
The country members could see
nothing but i'll in the bill, even for
their own cities aud villages, and
refused to listen to the talk Of the
city members who opposed the bill,
aud when the roll call was ended
there were eighty or more votes
against the proposition, and only
about 25 votes for it. The clincher
| followed and the bill cannot be con-
sidered again this session.
Mr.. Clague has secured the pas
sage of a couple of bills, which will
probably go handinh hand, as far as
Red wood Falls is concerned. The
first amends the present law autho
rizing the appointment of board of
park commissioners in all cities of
! Minnesota having a population OF
| 10, 900 or less. The bill empowers the
council to appoint the board, which
shall consist of as many members as
there are wards in the city, one of
whom shall be appointed from each
ward by the council, and who shall
!! hold their Office for the term of two
wears. except that at their first ap-
poiptment af err such board is au
| thoriZed the members appointed
from the odd numbered wards shall
hold their office for term of one
year. Any vacancy occurring IN
the board, by death, resignation or
otherwise, shall be filled by APP
pointment by the city council for
the unexpired term.
1t is apparent that Mr.. Clague in
troduced the bill, without consider,

for under his bill the city would be
: allowed only two park commission
ers, there being only two wards II

Post. - The Arkansas river in west
ern Kansas flows for distance under
ground and the corps has used an cleo

subterranean current. A row of wells
is driven across the channel at regular
intervals. An electrolyte is sunk in one
the upper wells and allowed to dissolve.
As the solution passes down to the other
wells needle Of IN electrical instrument
is DETECTED. Thus it is shown that the

Building New Equipment.

Last year the number Of cars built
was IA 267, which exceeded by 20, 1871
the recorded output for the year 1901 &.
The 1901 figures included also $500
street cars.
During the year 4,O70 locomotives
were built In the various locomotive
plants in the country, AS against B, 1884
last year The number for the current
year includes "a electric locomotives.
The real meaning of this figure is per-
hsps best realized by calculating the
expenditure involved, which would be
nearly $4S 600 900, if the average cost
per locomotive is assumed to be Sl2 900.
