SAVE ITAsCA PARK
Senator Wood Wants State Property
Protected From the Ravages Of
Lumbermen.
Senator Eberhardt Appears as the
Champion Of Horses Boost
for Adjutant-General

Itasca state park Is said to be ravaged
and ruined by logging operations. Sena-z
tor Wood wants to ascertain il the re-
ports are true and If they are substan-
tiated he wants the depredations stopped.
His resolution calling for an investigation
by senate committee was referred to the
committee on finance, as it will require
some outlay of money. The committee
will begin its 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 private logging boom to the great
injury of the property of the state. Tie
attorney general is directed to supply the
committee with such information as he
may have. z,.4, :
Z & New Champion of the Horse.
Senator Eberhardt has come forth as
1.-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 so
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
T 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. It
! provides that animals that have been
I clipped or %sheared must not be, hitched
in unsheltered places, without being
blanketed, between Nov. and May 1.
Boost Ad]utant Generals Pay.
All Of Mr.. Eberharts 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 MorIarity.r go
Alderman Moriarity of St., Paul wants
| to be city clerk but there is 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 a steady
job for ten or twelve years is to be re-
placed by one Of the true faith It. is q
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
ability a bill has been prepared amending
, the present law SO 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
i senators refused to touch the bill and IL
came into the senate under the wing Of
Senator Du Toits of Carver county ~ ~
