control 1.-The old soldier should be
better treated than Others" asserted
Rev. Smith, but We do not want a
pauper grandchild with a hero grand
father" He favored the city and coun-
ty board of control continuing to han
die the old cases it now had charge
of, but questioned if it would not be
better to have private charitable So
cieties take care of the new cases
brought to the attention of the board.
George N. Lamphere, who is secretary
Of the soldiers home, took exceptions
to the criticism made about the SOL
diers' relief fund expenditures, say
ing that the old soldiers were from
f1ftyfive to ninety years of age and not
capable of caring for themselves Each
case was investigated and no relief was
given where 1T was not needed or when
it would promote idleness.
F. B. Doran stated that the Asso-
ciated Charities was doing a good work
and the people should get together
and recognize the common brotherhood
Of man.
Rev. R. w. Boynton asserted that he
was depressed by the one of mitigated
congratulation which prevailed.
We create the impression" he con-
unued, that all is being done that
needs to be. There is not prosperous
family or individual in the city but
SnOuIQ 90 something IN personal way
to relieve distress. 1t is a great /delu-
sion to say there are no slums in st
Paul. There are slums here and the
only reason we have no more is ow-
ing to our having a population of 1861
600 instead of 500, 900.

We may ignore them, but the slums

they. The Associated Charities is do

Vored few for others less fortunate"

GREAT LAKES TO
BE OPENED SOON
Navigation of Superior and
Straits May Start Before
April |.

Opening of navigation on the great
lakes is looked for in the near future
by the government officers Of the lake
marine service. According to a re-
port issued by the secretary of agri-
culture from information gathered by
the station at Detroit the opening Of
the entire western extremity of Lake
Superior may be expected soon.
The report shows the condition of
each lake and river in the entire wa
terWay from Quebec to Duluth ~.
The Duluth entry is open, and the
twenty nine-inch thick ice in the flar-
Dor is rapidly sOftening. Everything
points TO speedy breaking up of the
entire western extremity of Superior
The ice in St. -Mary's. river is two
inches thicker. than at this time last
year; but in the straits the conditions
look far more favorable than at the
corresponding time in 1902.
The Ice will probably move out of
the straits by April l., but should con-
unued high winds and warm weather
prevail, the latter part of March may
see the breaking UP, as the ice is al
ready severely cracked in a manner
not known for many years
Extensive ice fields exist in Lake
Michigan, and toward the northern ex-
tremlty the masses are yet uhbroken
from land.
LANE huron IS pfactlcaIly clear Of ice
and very little is reported to be run
ming in River st. Clair. All places
in the vicinity of Point aux Barques
and HarbOr Beach report no ice in
sight as far as eye can see; and from
the Canadian side at Goderieh, a cor
responding latitude, the same report is
given.
AS is usual in Lakes st. Clair, Erie
and Ontario at this season, ice is re-
ported as running freely and naviga-
ton just about to open.

BICYCLE TAGS
READY FOR SALE
All Wheelers Will Have to
Be Licensed or Keep Off
the Paths.

The 1903 bicycle tag will be placed
on sale by County Treasurer Metzdorf
this morning.
A consignment of 10, 200 tags was re-
ceiVed yesterday, and while this is 1000
more than was disposed of last year the
side path commission believes that
more will be needed before the close
of the season.
The tags for 1903 differ in style some
What from those Of last year and will
be sold at the same price, so cents,
The 1902 tags are of no value after
April /, and every person caught wheel
ing on the bicycle paths after this date
will be arrested and fined.
An effort will be made this year
to enforce the tag ordinance more
strictly than ever before" said Mr..
Metzdorf yesterday, and with the CO.
operation of the police it is thought
that at least 10000 tags can be dis
posed of.
Not more than half the wheels were
tagged last year, and while many Of
the delinquents We're arrested and fin
ed, thousands escaped. This will not be
the case this year. A special effort
Will be made to enforce the law, and
the offenders will be promptly arrest
ed"
County Treasurer Metzdorf has al
ready received a large number Of ap-
plicattOns for tag No l. but it will be
sold to the first applicant this morn
ing.
Instead of running a full year the
1903 tags will expire Dec. 81, and after
this year the tags will be made out
from Jan. 1, instead Of April 1.

BREAK IN MAIN DUE TO
IMPROPER DRAINAGE
Water Board to Demand Explanations
From Those Responsible.

1t is now generally accepted by
those who made the investigation that
the costly break in the big water main
beneath the Wabasha street bridge
was due to improper drainage. Supt.
Lindquist Of the water department,
had this in charge, and he now ad-
mits that one of the big valves did
leak when the main was shut off last
November.
The main was installed under the
direction of Former City Engineer
Claussen, who demurred at the use
OF cast steel pipe, he recommending
wrought steel, but this the members
of the board refused to consider be-
cause of the fact that they had lot
Of cast steel pipe on hand.
A terrific pressure undoubtedly rent
the twenty-five sections Of the main
asunder, and the accepted theory now
is that either the drain was not open
or became clogged with ice and the
valve leaked a sufficient quantity of
water to fill the south end of the
main, which is considerably lower than
the end at the intersection of Third and
Wabasha streets. Supt. Lindquist says
he shut off the main on Nov. 20 and
drained it. The next day a slight leak
In one Of the valves was evident, but
this, he says, was remedied the day
following.
One Of the sections was opened yes
terday but nothing new was Developed.
City Engineer Rundlett is at work on
the report, and it will show that the
break was due to the presence Of water
and improper drainage.
The main is supposed to be under
the direction of the water depart
ment. The engineering department
originally superintendent it's construc-
ton, but on it's completion Supt. Lind
quist became it's custodian;
A special meeting of the water board
will be held in a few days and arrange
ments made for the repair of the main.
At this meeting the report of the city
engineer will be received and explana-
lions demanded Of those supposed to
be RESPONSIBLE for the DANA ge
