and ruined by logging operations. Sena-
tor Wood wants to ascertain if the re-
ports are true and If they are substan-
tiated he wants the depredations stopped.
His resolution calling for an investigation
by q senate committee was referred to the
committee on finance, as it will require
some outlay of money. The committee
will begin It's investigation at once and
Is expected to report next week.
The resolution recites that the outlet
of the lake has been damned, causing
it to overflow its banks, and to cause much
damage to the park. The lake is used
as a private logging boom to the great
injury of the property of the state. The
attorney general is directed to supply the
committee with such information as he
may have.
@ New Champion Of the Horse.
IA Senator Eberhardt has come forth as
the champion and friend of the dumb
animals. He presented two bills this.
morning which ought to earn him the in
dorsement of the whole equine family
as it puts the law on careless and in
human owners.
In the first bill authority is given to
sheriffs, constables and police officers
to take charge of any horse, mule or
animal. which is exposed to the weather
for two hours or more, and not properly
protected. and to place such animals in
a proper shelter where they shall be cared
for at the expense of the owner. The
owner of the stable may hold the animal
until his charges are paid.
A companion measure is for the relief
of animals that have been clipped. 1t
provides that animals that have been
clipped or ~sheared must not be hitched
in unsheltered places, without being
.bla nketed, between Nov. 1 and May l. =
y Boost AdJutant Generals Pay. S4
All of Mr.. Eberhart's kindness does not
go out to the dumb brutes, for, he has
some left for the adjutant general and
to-day presented a bill fixing the salary Of
that: officer at $4,000, instead of $4,000.
.- Let Down Bars for Morlarlty.c 4-~s-
Alderman Moriarity of St., Paul wants
to be city clerk; but there is a big bar in
the way even if he could land the cleo
ton. There is law prohibiting city and
county officers from holding any other
office during the term for which they
have been elected or appointed. =
In St. Paul the democrats now control
every department of government and the
republican city cerk who has had steady
| job for ten or twelve years is to be re-
placed by one Of the true faith. It is a
| fine position especially if a ten-year lease
is likely to go with it, and Moriarity feels
certain that he is the right one To give
! St., Paul the benefits of his Astounding
abilitya bill has been prepared amending
the present law SO as to let down the
bars for Alderman Moriarity.
The bill plainly provides that any
councilman or alderman shall be eligible
to election or appointment as city clerk
provided, however that he shall resign
| the former office in the event of election.
|. For some reason the Ramsey. county
senators refused to touch the bill and 1t
came into the. senate under. the wing of
Senator Du Tott of Carver county. ~ "
