ing Of the American chronological So.
ciety and the New York Academy Of
Sciences, DIR. Maurice Fishberg, a
we'll known anthropologist, delivered
an address in which he made the dec
laration that there was no such thing

were not descended from Abraham,
Isaac aud Jacob, but were in reality
Armenians.
THE Arysns, he said, "were until
quite recently considered to be a race

anthropological research we know that
there is no such thing as an Aryan
race"

Chicken Thieves.

The people in this community are
being troubled lately with sneak thieves
who have been robblng their chicken
coops. There is strong feeling in
favor Of forming vigilance committee
and raising funds to prosecute the
thieves to the bitter end. Some Of the
worst suff erers of these sneaks declare
they will shoot to kill if they ever catch
them. There are several suspects or
the list who are closely watched and
should they ever fall into the hands u
the determined men who form this
committee nothing can save them from
! the punishment they deserve.

May it not be possible that James j.
Hill is wrecking the magnificent c. B. &
@. system as Jay Gould time and again
wrecked great railroad systems? Jay
Gould never got rich building railroads
he never built one in his life. He
made his millions by securing bare
majority of stock of big railroad and
then with the power in his own hands
he wrecked the roads by the same
policy that has been begun recently
with the 60" OF course the stock in
such wrecked roads would go down to a
nominal figure and would all be bought
in by the man who caused it to decline,
and it would again soar skyward and be
unloaded to the great enrichment of the
man manipulating the whole scheme.
The many changes which have been
made and further threatened changes
on the 80" are not made through the
necessity of curtailing expenses, for the
net earnings of the great system have
been increasing right along. 1t looks
very much as if one big fish is about to
swallow all the little fish who hold stock
in the G. B. & @. railroad.

LONDON, Oct. Sir Charles Met
calfe, the well known railroad builder in
South Africa, and /. F. Jones, o. M. G.,
manager of the Chartered company, will
sail on the Cunard line steamer Cam
pania next Saturday on an important
mission to the United States. They in
tend to spend a month investigating the
industrial and railroad methods employed
in America and especially to examine the
system by which the power of Niagara
Falls is utilized.
Immediately after their return, the work
will be commenced of Harvesting the Vic
toria Falls, on the Zamesi river, in South
Africa.
Sir Charles Metcalfe said: America
has been more successful than any coun-
try in inaugurating new industries, and
we want to get an idea how it is done
and apply it to our own countrywide
desia We have more railroad mileage in
proportion to population than anybody.
There are eight white people to every
mile of railroad which is the worlds rec

dustries that we intend to utilize the
o 0OO, 600 horse power which the Victoria
Falls possess. Within seventy miles
there exists probably one of the greatest
coal fields in the world and experts are
now examining large iron deposits In the
same vicinity. We expect to find at
Niagara most useful hints for the eStab-
lishment of a similar plant in Rhodesia.
We shall also endeavor to see the Ameri-

LAND NEAR CAPITOL
WORTH $3.50 A FOOT
Real Estate Experts Place Val
ues on Property Desired
for Approach.

Real estate experts place value of
$3.50 per front foot on land fronting
on Central avenue, which is desired for
the approach to the new state capitol
building, Other land in the strip want
ed for the approach is valued at from
$50 to $3.50 a front foot by the experts.
A number of real estate men, ad-
mitted to be experts as to the value Of
st. Paul property, were summoned be-
fore the commissioners appointed to
condemn land for the capitol approach
yesterday, and all were agreed that
the owners were not asking too much
for their property. The experts were
summoned by the counsel for the prop
erty owners
The capitol commission, at whose in
stance the appraisers were named, did
not attempt to take any testimony, but
will leave the question of values to the
appraisers.
Very Desirable Location.
The real estate men who appeared
before the appraisers at yesterdays
session were of the opinion that the
property in question was located in one
of the most desirable portions of the
city. 1t was especially we'll adapted
for private hotels or apartment houses
because of the fine view, the desirable
surroundings and the sanitary condi-

the reason of its close proximity TO
the business district of the city.
M. E. Kost, one of the real estate
men examined, said he had calls every
day from people who were looking for
desirable locations, and if private
hotel or apartment house were to be
erected in this locality, all of the rooms
could be rented before the building
was finished.

ton of the experts to the low prices
at which other property in the neigh
borhood had been sold for recently, and
inquired if they knew of any locality
outside of the Summit avenue district
where property had been sold for $3.50
per front foot. None of the real es
tate ben knew of any such sales, but
they thought the property in question
was reasonable at this figure. 1t was
not to be compared, they contended,
with property cited by the commission
because the property referred to by
the commissioners was not on high
land, and the surroundings were not so
pleasant.
One Strip Valued at $3.50 Foot.
The experts thought property on
Aurora avenue, in this vicinity, worth
about 500 per front foot. N, r. Frost,
another of the experts, considered the
Blackman lot on Central avenue was
worth $150 per- front foote the Klein
land $780, and the Albrecht. property
on Aurora avenue from $50 to $50 per
front foot. r. L. Ware thought the
Klein land worth $3.50 per front foot,
as it ran through from Central to Au-
rora, and was an excellent location for
an apartment house.
Mr.. Kost said that the property in
the vicinity of the new capitol would
be selling for twice the present figure
within five years.
Contractors testified as to the value
of the improvements on the property
under, consideration, the total of which
amounted to $4,000.

Assessment for the Improve
ment to Be Spread Over a
Larger District.

The owners of nearly 10000 parcels
of property will be called upon to de-
fray the expense of parking and wild
ening Lexington avenue from Summit
avenue to the Great Northern tracks,
as an entrance to Como park.
At the meeting of the board of public
works yesterday afternoon the assess
ment district outlined in T he G o b e
a week ago was adopted and the cleri-
cal force will be put to work in a few
days preparing the abstract.
Boundaries of District.
In detail the assessment district is
that portion of st. Paul bounded on the
north by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railway rights of way,
on the east by Victoria street, on the
south by st. Clair street and on the
west by Hamline avenue. The eX-
IRENE edges of the district on each side
are just a half mile away from the
Improvement. The district is about
two-thirds larger than the one knocked
out by the district court.
Strong in the belief that the parkway
will be of more benefit to the residents
of Summit avenue and the hill district
generally than any other portion of the
city, some of the members were for
combining the assessment to that 10
cality, but First Assistant Corporation
Attorney O'Reilly insisted that the dis
trict be uniform. He held that the dis
trict must be in strict conformity with
the court decisions. These decisions
take the broad ground that distance in
stead of values must be considered in
making an assessment and that the
district must be uniform, the assess
ments decreasing as the distance of the
property from the improvement in
Creases.
Assessment Will Be Sc a Lot.
The average assessment in the first
levy was abouts $40 lot, but this will
be reduced to about Sc a lot by the
adoption of the new district. About
one-haIf the property owners involved
paid the first assessment, and in the
making of the new they will be refund
ed any excess, or given credit for it in
case any additional property is taxed.
The Improvement will cost about $45,-
600.
For the benefit of the property own
ers a hearing was held yesterday, but
few of them responded. About four
were present, and they generally
agreed with the board in it's selection
of the territory to be assessed.
