Speaking of the sequoia trees of Cali fornia The Chicago Inter-Ocean says:


 Speaking of the Sequoia trees of Cali fornia The Chicago Inter-Ocean says:
 Although the precise age of the, big trees of California must remain unknown, the indications are that some of those still growing were first sprouted from the soil when Moses led the Israelites out of boidage in Egypt. When Jesus was born at Bethlehem they were in all the vigor of lusty youth. When Columbus pushed out into the unknown they were somewhere near their present size.
 The Inter-Ocean is too modest by half. Why did it not say that Noah hitched his ark to one of them? Why not claim that they were full grown trees when Cain and Abel were chasing rabbits in the woods of Palestine? It would have not required much greater stretch of the imagination. The truth is that no one can tell anything about their age. One authority tells us that some of them are supposed to be 300 years old," and that Is about as definite as any one can be. Some of them may be one or ten thousand years old for anything we Know of a certainty. They may have been grown trees before Adam was created, for anything We can tell. No one can even guess at their age.

Toilette sent a special message to the
legislature today upon the freight COM
mission bill. 1t is the most exhaustive
treatise upon the subject of railroad
freight charges ever compiled, COM
prising 12S pages, many of which are
devoted to tables containing COMPARE

states in a way intended to refute the

against 14.10 cents for Iowa, or an ex-
cess for Wisconsin of 52.34 per cent.
Figured on what is known as the
n-mile basis, the average rate on
general merchandise is 1921 cents for
Wisconsin and 2.162 cents per ton-mile

to resign, as one of the sections of the
law would arbitrarily legislate them
mony. They decided as a means of
ascertaining their status as board to
submit their designations to the goT-
ernor and to leave it with the gov
ernor to reappoint them in case he
should desire that they continue to
serve.
Gov. Van SAINT is now in st. Louis in
attendance upon the exercises incident
to the dedication of the Louisiana PUP

In resigning the members of the for

may have to continue in office, and
abdicate all ground upon which they
might contest the provisions of the
new law which would remove then1
thus leaving Gov. Van SAINT free to APP

Viewed politically, the situation pre-
sents several phases, and there is some
difference of opinion as to just what
the governor will do as to the reap

manifest antagoniSm in certain quar-

exercise a strong influence in deter
mining the governors course.

Mr. Frank Beschorner. the filter and
cutter at Albrecht's. Mr.. Besehorner's
name is synonymous throughout the
Northwest with athoroughness and relia-
b1llty; in fact. much of the reputation
of original -Albrecht garments is due to
his untiring, conscientious ambition to
become the foremost designer of fur gar
ments in America.
1t is with this idea in view that the
models at European centers. This will
give him the advantage of personal con-
tact with styles at first hand and val
liable opportunity of studying exactly
What foreign designers are doing.
1t is the constant desire of the Albrecht
house to make and keep it's styles cos
mospoiitan- style current''-the world
over; so that an Albrecht garment can
don or Paris as In New York or st. Paul
That it has done this is acknowledged
by all who have knowledge of the fur
styles of the world in fact, it. is one of
the marVels of the trade how the original
Albrecht garments are made to combine
the good things in European STYLES and
effects with the best things of garments
made in America" 80
That this has been accomplished is due
IN great part to the annual visits of Mr.
Ernst ALBRIGHT to Europe. Mr.. Beschor-
ner,s trip is projected with the idea of
still further familiarizing the house with
conditions across the water. noe
Mr.. Beschorner sailed yesterday. In
Europe he expects to meet Mr. Albrecht
(who preceded him by a few weeks). At
ter spending a few weeks abroad he will
return for a short stay in New York to
get the very latest things at Americas
metropolis, after which he will return to

rather not have them than take them in

1t is obvious that the firm can afford
to take repairs for less money now than
it can when its shop is full of new work
and it would seem to be the part of
financial wisdom for owners Of furs to
leave repairs for ne tXseason as early as
possible.

DOUBT PARK BOARDS
RIGHT TO ISSUE
BONDS
Validity of Law Authorizing
1t to Negotiate 100000
Worth Of Bonds for Pur-
pose Of Additions and I'M
proyements Is Questioned
Park Board Confident
Act Is Good.

The legality of another st. Paul bond
issue authorized by the last legislature
is threatened. This time the park
board is affected. Should the enabling
act be declared void, it would mean the
loss of 100000.
For the purpose of securing needed
land additions to several of the big
parks and making improvements which
:ts annual appropriation of $4,000 will
not permit, the board secured from the
legislature an act authorizing it to is
sue 100000 in 312 per cent bonds, the
only limitation being that the two
council bodies should acquiesce.
Now the point is raised that the
park board cannot issue any bonds
without vote of the people because
of the enabling act, which imposes a
barrier in the shape of a per cent
limit on Indebtedness. This was what
sent the first armory bond issue to
the rocks, and those raising the point
say it will prevail in the case of this
issue, if any one sees fit to enter pro-
test. The ruling made in the first
armory bond issue was that the law
authorizing the issue did not in any
way repeal the enabling act and for
this reason it was void. There was no
repeal even by implication.
