RAILROADS.
A Line INTO ROSEAU
The Great Northern Is to Extend
From Thief River
Falls.
It Will Help to Develop a Rich,
Rapidly Growing
Territory.

The Great Northern has come to the aid
of the residents Of prosperous railroadless
Roseau county in northern Minnesota. 1t
will build line north from Thief River
Falls, and thirty miles of it will be built
this season.
Sometime ago attention was called to the
fact that Canadian oNrthern engineers
were surveying line into the county
southwest from Warroad with the idea of
getting it's freight business.
The farmers and general storekeepers
have been patiently hauling freight as far
as 125 miles. either to Warroad on the Ca
madam Northern, or Stephen, on the GrcAt
Northern, the latter point getting most Of
the twin city business.
1t is evident from the latest move of the
Great Northern that it does not intend
to be ca light mapping by the Canadian
road and that it's purpose is to push the
line north as fast as it's appropriations for
betterment will permit.
Surveys of several routes for a Grea
Northern extension from Red Lake Falls
and for a cutoff from Red Lake Falls to
Fertile and thence to Wadena were made
last fall. No change&will be made in the
route into Red Lake Falls. and from the
north connection will be made to the
southwest with the Northern Pacific. An
extension to the north from Thief River
Falls is also planned. It is proposed to
continue the Northern Pacific to Red
Lake Falls. due east to connect with the
Minnesota & Internat tional The Mime
sofa & International is to be extended tc
Koochiching and the Bull Head branch is
to connect at Red Lake Falls. Red Lake
Falls is to have a new union station.

CAME BACK CLAIMLESS.
Minneapolis Men Who Went After
Stone and Timber Claims Are
Home Empty Handed.

None Of the party of twenty six business
men who went to Oregon recently with
view to getting land under the stone and
timber act took a claim. The inVestiga-
tions were discouraging. The scarcity of
available claims, the expense of filing, the
prospect of small and long deferred prof
It's and the dishonesty of many locators
deter many from taking timber claims
in the west. Some of these factors APP
piled in the case Of the Minneapolis men,
J. L. Gable, F. G. Mcmillan, Joseph
Parker. w. j. Hartzell and e. Z. Lindsey
We're in the party. Mr.. Lindsey said that
the party found the desirable timber
claims taken by lumbermen who had
bought railway script and filed on land
which their cruisers recommended under
the stone and timber act. Lots Of claims
remain, but they are situated on inaccess-
ible mountain sides and far from rail-
roads. Claims which remain are worth
$3.50 an acre and after paying the ex-
pense of perfecting title and the cost of
two necessary trips to the coast the cost
altogether would be $700 or $500, the ulti
mate possible return would be only $1,20t
or 81 500, and that five years away.

NOT DUE TO TAX REBATES
Such Refunds Cannot Affect Revolv-
ing Fund, Saws Dickey.

T. S. Dickey, who is checking up the.
revolving fund.- takes issue with City En-
gineer Andrew Rinker's statement that
much Of. the leakage in that fund can be
traced to the present system of allow
ing tax rebates. Mr.. Dickey makes a
business Of collecting tax rebates, and he
declares that there is absolutely no con-
nection between tax rebates and the re-
volving fund
"All special assessments" he explained,
ARE ordered by the city council and are
prepared and transmitted to the county
auditor from the city engineer for collec-
tlon.c After - tax has been levied and
it develops that too much has been charged
for the improvement, the excess must be
refunded to the taxpayers through the city
engineers office, which passes finally on
all such claims.
"From the time the fund was created,
in 1885, all assessments have been ordered
i'll advance and the improvements put in
the following year. If man is assessed
$3.50 square yard for a piece of pave
Elent and after the work is completed it
is found that it cost but $1.7O, the city
engineer puts the extra IL cents on the
rebate book and the excess assessment is
refunded to the interested taxpayer. The
revolving fund accounts are in no wise
affected or changed by the paying Of re-
bates, So far as the city controller is
concerned"

UP WARD TENDENCY
Butter of All Grades Is on a
Higher Basis Of
- Value.
Eggs Have Been Active, With Prices
Fluctnating Somewhat Dur
ing the Week.

Bright weather has had a favorable influence
upon the movement of fruits. Country buyers
find their outlet increasing now that consumers
able to be out, and are therefore generally
fncrensing the size and frequency of their orders
Oranges and apples the staple at present
Although the call for bananas Is assuming warm
weather proportions, price changes during the
week have been slight the fruit list. Apples
show a lower range on most varieties. The sup.
ply Is heavy this spring, and the public will
enjoy a comparatively low range Of prices Hold
ers generally have weak view of the situation,
and the tendency is to shade values frequently
when doing so will pat good sized lot into
circulation.
Green vegetables are coming In freely from,
the south, aud the grocer is now enabled to make
rather hnc display. Values reasonable
for the season of year.
In producc~li butter and eggs have been the
chief item of interest during the week. The
make is running light On top grades, and with a
decreased supply values responded quickly to
the influence of the shortage. The advancing ten
dcncy on top grades also had a favorable effect
on packing stock. and this grade is selling at a
full cent pound above last weeks prevailing
figures. Butter receivers look for firm range
to hold until the make increases, which is not
due for at least 60 days yet.
The demand has been very active on eggs.
Values are about same basis rs week ago,
but in the interval have fuctuated somewhat. ac-
cording to supply and demand. The spring pro-
duction is evidently started. but the call for
fresh eggs is heavy and far each days arriv-
ais have cleaned up readily. Cold storage
egsg have cleaned up to such an extent as to
cause the withdrawal OF quotations aud VIII not
cut any figure the balance of this spring.
The cheese market IS holding to extremely
firm basis on fancy welI-cured goods. New makes
arc beginning to come In freely, but arc not NOV
ing ont freely except at generous shading of
quotations.
Dressed poultry is beginning to show somewhat
dragging tendencies. and the moderate receipts
now coming have been the only favorable inhu.
toward keeping values from going tc
pieces. The turn to colder weather to-day may
brace uu matters for awhile. but the fact is
avid inntt that hn II q
live stock from they can kill as the
wants of their trade require.
Dressed meats show improved tone over week
AGO. although values about same basis
Demand has been Of satisfactory proportions ant

season is over. The demand has been virtually
nil, and good many lunches have had TO so tt

EXPO DEAL, IS OFF
Offer Of Mr.. Savage Not Accepted
Time Limit Expires. ~

The sale Of the exposition building is off.
Mr.. Savage's offer for. the property has
not been accepted. AS to-day was the
limit for the negotiations, nothing will
come of MI. Savage's proposition to turn
the building into manufacturing estab-
lishment retaining the big auditorium as
such. ~. '' -: '--
: Whatever may have been the cause of
the calling off Of the sale, it is regarded
as unfortunate for Minneapolis. Offers
for this property have not come in rapid
ly the last few years and the building has
been idle, practically. Great regret will
be felt by the public that the auditorium
question is again far from settlement Mr.
Savage shows no intention Of increasing
his offer. but is inclined the other way,
it is understood, since he made a care
full survey of the building week ago. =

IMPRESSIONS OF KOCIAN
The Celebrated Young Violinist En-
joying His American Tournee.

KOcian, the young Bohemian violnist
who is to be heard in recital in Plymouth
church. Tuesday evening, March "A, has
been having various peculiar experiences
since he first came to America. His first
impressions of America were gained from
the big buildings in New York that form
the sky line as the new conner steams up
New York harbor.. They were far and
away more wonderful than anything he
had seen except the pyramids Of Egypt.
In Chicago. the Auditorium was his
greatest cause for wonder and amazement.
It looked as big to the young Bohemian
as the Colosseum, and it seemed almost in
credible to him that people in the CALLER
les could hear every sound of the violin,
even though they looked as small as pig
mics. so perfect were the acoustics of the
place.
Telling of one of his funniest expert
ences in America to a group Of English
Bohemian residents of Chicago, Kocian
said: 5.
II seem to have my chief troubles at the
resta urants. Irecall an incident which af-
fords me amusement every time think of
it, I am very fond of tongue, On enter
ing a restaurant I drew forth my Bo-
hemian English dictionary and looked for
tongue I soon found it, and it was de-
fined as 'language' When the waiter
came for my order l. told him of course
wanted language Soon I was sur
rounded by walters. and at last the man
| ager seeing there was some trouble came,
too. 1 finally pointed to the word in the
dictionary and after realizing what !
wanted. I received my favorite dish with

A CHILLY HOLD-UP
The Victim Compelled to Dsrobe to Al
:. low Robbers to Search

William Guenser. a Minneapolis man,
was compelled to disrobe in the open air
in st. Paul last night to allow two high
waymen to search his clothing for -valu-
ables and was, then forced to stand idly
by and see them walk away with $40,
pair of opera glasses and a few pocket
trinkets; but he had the satisfaction of
seeing the men taken into custody fif-
teen minutes later. The men gave the
names Of Charles Sumner and Fensor Mar
tin. but disclaimed all knowledge of the
hold-up.
Guenser met the two men in Minnea po-
lis early Yesterday morning and accom-
panied them to st. Paul last night. The
three visited several saloons, and finally
went to Seven Corners. The men, Guen-
ser charges, led him into a dark alley near
Eagle street, and. pointing q revolver at
his head, compelled him to disrobe. Guen-
ser found All officer. and while he was
talking. saw the men pass. They were
promptly arrested. A revolver and a knife;
such as Guenser claimed had been used
to intimidate him, were found in theit
possession.
