NO BAD MONEY IN
MOTION IN TWIN CITIES
Banks Have Failed to See any coun-
terfeit Currency in Month.

So far as the banks of st. Paul and
Minneapolis are able to learn, there is
not a piece of counterfeit money in
circulation in the irwin Cities.
Capt ]. w. Lawrence, United States
secret service agent for this district,
yesterday completed a tour of investi-
cation of all of the banks of the two
cities, made for the purpose of learn
ing TO what extent counterfit money
was being circulated. Not a bank Wis
tied had come in contact with a piece
of bad money in month.
The record is new one,'' said Capt,
Lawrence. Il have made these inves-
legations for years, and never before
have l visited the banks but that some
of them had report to make.
While it is we'll known among those
familiar with the situation that coun-
terfeiting has been on the decrease for
some years. the, record of not single
bad coin having been discovered by any
of the Twin City banks In the past
month is something we had not ex-
pected. Bank cashiers, who have held
their positions, some of them as long
as twenty years, told me it was the
first time within their memory that so
long time had elapsed without get
ting hold OF some bad money

LEIGH LAKE MAY GET
STATE SANATORIUM
Several Locations Being Considered for
the Home for Consumptives.

The location of the Minnesota State
Sanatorium for. Consumptives will soon
be selected, according to DR.. III. Long
street Taylor
'"The commission has inspected the
country and has under consideration
half dozen locations" said DR.. Taylor
yesterday. Some of, these are near
Walker, on the high grounds south and
west of the town. These high hills are
from 200 to $50 feet above the level of
Leech Lake, which is 1900 feet above
the ocean. .-
another possible choice is on the
high ground in, the southeastern part
of the Leech Lake Indian reservation,
near the Cross lake logging road, WHICH
is to be extended north and south and
become a permanent road.
pine mountain, on Pine Mountain
lake. near Bachus, also offers a most
desirable location. 1t has the advan-
tage of being far from the large body
of water in Leech lake, which would
make the. air damp and cold in the
spring in it's immediate vicinity.
pine mountain has quite an altitude
above the lake and it's conical summit
can be seen from a distance, very
conspicuous feature in the landscape"

T[NANTS,R[fUSf
TO REMOVE FROM
New MARKET \ SITE
indications Are That City viii
Not Get Possession of Prop
erty Recently Purchased I'm
til Lease Expires-Suits May
Become Necessary.

|. The market committee OF the city
council finds itself in peculiar posi-
ton. =
Several months ago, at the instance
of the committee, the city council pur-
dition to the new Jackson street mar
ket at cost of oytr $4,000. A clear
title was given, but now the committee
cannot get possession.
One of the pieces of ground, which
was owned by the Davidson heirs, is
covered by an old barn, and the other,
known as the Bartol site, by stable
used by the Cook. Transfer. company.
Both are occupied and the tenants
have practically refused to move. The
tenants on the Bartol site have a valid
excuse in the shape of lease, but the
Davidson tract, which is occupied by
the St. Paul Carriage company, carries
nothing of this sort.
Two months ago the council sold the
barn on the Davidson tract to a con-
tractor, withf the understanding that
he was to move, it, The st. Paul Cart
age company (which occupies the barn.
bought it from the contractor, and they
now refuse to- move until they are
good and ready.
Aid. NDobnery is the company's lawyer
and he is fightfngithe suit of ejectment,
with a threatFto carry it to the highest
court if he loses in the lower courts.
The Cook people also refuse to remove
unless reimbursed and now it looks as
if the city Would fhaves to wait a term
of years before it can get possession
In order tol take advantage of the
money that is now in the treasury to
the credit of the market fund the COM
mittee is anxious to clear the ground
in order that3sit may be improved for
a hay market, but it seems as if their
plans are to go astray.
The trouble was thoroughly aired
before the market committee yester-
day, but no.. conclusion was reached.
The matter is now in the courts and
the corporation attorney was instruct
ed to hurryait along as fast as pos
sible. Ts
The proposition to aid the property
owners along Temperance street in the
paving, oftthat thoroughfare by an ap-,
preparation of $4,000 was refused and
the figure made $1,000 instead.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
SHES ON BOND ISSUE
-
Declines to Indorse OF Oppose
Proposal to Borrow $780,
900 for City.

The Commercial club proposes to be
neutral on the proposition of $780,
600 city bond issue.
Ii will not oppose the issue, neither
will it indorse it through the medium
of a resolution.
After spending a week threshing the
subject over, the city development
committee reached the decision that
no good was being attained by further
discussion and so reported to the Com
mercial club at a meeting of the d1-
rectors yesterday afternoon. The di-
rectors brought the matter to a close
by indorsing the following resolution,
offered by B. H. Schriher:
Resolved, That we accept the re-
port of the committee and thank the
members of the same for the Informal
ton and tabulated statistics given US,
and we recommend to the board of
directors that the Commercial club
take no action on the subject what
ever"
In discussing the proposed bond is
sue City Comptroller Betz, who favors
the scheme, was the main source of in
formation for the club, and the argu-
ment he advanced received many sup
porters, but there was enough opposi-
ton to hang the matter up, and rather
than see it drag along, the scheme of
neutrality was adopted. In a general
way, it is said, a majority of the mem
bers of the club favor the issue.
The discussion which resulted
brought out the fact that there will be
a heavy demand for appropriations
when the next budget is made up, not
ably among which is heavy item for
sewers. City Engineer Rundlett has
in mind large number of needed sew
er extensions, and if they are all ia
Norably acted upon sum not far short
of $500, 600 will be required. For bridg-
es alone he will ask an appropriation
of $4,000.
The school board has already asked
an appropriation of $115,OO for new
school buildings, and it will supple
ment this next year with demand for
$250O00. with which to build a new
high school building. The fire and po-
lice departments also want additional
appropriations.

NEW CAPITOL ROOMY
ENOUGH FOR ALL
Nevertheless Certain State Of
ficers Find FauItWith Quar-
tiers Assigned to Them.

Frequently it has been stated that
there will be some departments of the
state government for which there will
be no accommodations in the new cap
itol building when it is completed. Ac-
cording to Frank E. Hanson, secretary
of the capitol commission, that is not
true. Mr.. Hanson said to e Clio b e
yesterday:
you may say that provision has
been made for every branch of the
state government. There are some de-
partments, of course, that are not sat-
istied with the quarters assigned them,
and there has been more Kicking than
anybody could imagine, but it would
be absolutely unreasonable to expect
that all could be pleased.
"The state government has expand
ed and grown since the building was
begun, but the building also has growS
from it's original proportions. 1t has
been a very difficult problem to place
all of the different officers and their
official families in quarters that would
be in any way acceptable to them and
still to maintain proper relative loca-
tons throughout the building. The
creation of new boards and officers
since the building was planned has
greatly complicated the situation.
For example, the state board of con-
and since the original assignment of
offices was made, and as it is a very big
department, with q large number of
employees and a great deal of official
impedimenta, there has been consid-
cradle trouble in fitting it into the
geography of the building. 1t has been
provided for and so has the more re-
Gently created state live stock sanitary
board.
1T might be anticipated that every
officer would want the best location he
could get for his own department, just
as We all want the choice seats at the
theater but some of them have been
entirely unreasonable about it and
have acted like a lot of small children
This man can't understand why he is
not as much entitled to q certain Of
flee or suite of offices as that one and
no amount of argument will convince
him that there has not been conspir-
acy to defraud him individually of his
rights.
zone officer that I happen to think of
just now, was assigned to an office on
the south front of the building, and as
that portion is supposed to- have the
most desirable outlook, it was suppos-
ed that he would be satisfied, but he
was not, and refused to approve the
selection. 1t was hard to find out Just
exactly what his objection was, but
finally when pinned down he said that
he did not want his office there be-
cause he believed it would be ID
hot in the summer time.
'"There has been continual friction Of
this kind, but as I said, all of the de-
partments of the state government, in
Guiding a large number that now have
outside offices, have been provided for
in the building somewhere"

Smarting under a little deal executed
by a. rival a year ago, through Whlch

and while the prices on coal were gen.
orally uniform, the slash in wood was
a surprise. AS far as hard coal was
concerned, not a firm varied in the
figure named. For CRATE size. $3.50

If delivered in August discount OF
10 cents ton was quoted.
For Youghiogheny lump the Jones'
Adams company quoted price OF 30
a ton, the same coal, run of mine, 10
a ton, and Pocahontas, run of mine,
$3.50 a ton. The Holmes e McCaughey
company, the firm which held the con-
tract last year, slightly underbid the
Jones' Adams company on lump coal.
but they were sadly distanced IN re-
Spect to wood fuel. -.
The prevailing figure asked for wood
fuel was $3.50 a cord for pine slabs,
50. 10 for edgings and from 50 to 80
cord for maple. Several Of the firms
tried to offer bait in the shape OF
cheap wood fuel, burt they were not IN
it with the Jones-Adams offer Of 70
cents cord.
In addition to fuel bids. proposals for
general school supplies were received,
but they were so varied in figure that
the board could not act intelligently
until they were tabulated. For the
school supplies twenty-five bidders
competed
The fuel contract is worth about
$4,000 to the firm getting it, and it
was this fact that stimulated the bid

City Engineer Orders Debris in Front

There is no danger of the walls of
the Skidmore block at Fifth and Min

condition of the sidewalk in front of
the place is certainly nuisance.

any longer. The owners have got to

myself"
Ever since the collapse of the Skid

place has been closed to pedestrians.
There is a disagreement between the
owner. M. j. O'Neil, and the tenants, as
to who shall make repairs, and while
they are trying to settle the matter

Mr.. Rundlett is positive there is no
further danger of the walls collapsing.
His principal desire is to have the
