ASPHALT IS CHEAP
FOR UNIVERSITY
AVENUE
Bid Of Barber Asphalt Com
pany Effects Saving of
$4,000 Under Engineers
Estimate for Property
Owners-LoWest Price for
Such Contract Yet Secured.

The lowest price ever made in ST.
Paul on what is known as heavy stand
ard asphalt paving was obtained yes
terday afternoon by the board of pub
lie works for University avenue prop
| erty owners, when the Barber Asphalt
Paving company bid a fraction less
than $3.50 for the paving of their
thoroughfare.
Fear of it's rival, the Conway Paw
ing company, evidently was RESPONSE
BILE for the low bid made, but when
the bids We're opened the Conway COM
pany was not anywhere near it. Their
figure was sos a square yard and in
their offer on the paving the city rail-
ways's part they were even over the
city engineers estimate.
Saves $1,000 for Residents.
City Engineer Rundlett's estimate
for the paving of the street was $780,
400 for the property owners part and
$4,000 for the city railway company's
part, or $2.10 per square yard. The
Barber company bid $45,045 for the
property owners part and $22,360 for
the street railway company's part, and
the Conway company bid $49.665 for
the property owners part and $24,596
for the street railway company's part.
With the bid of the Barber COM
pany nearly $1,000 under the city en-
gineer'S estimate some of the MEM
bers of the board of public works were
for giving the contract to the Barber
company without delay. President
erode objected, however, because a
promise had been made to wait and
see If the property owners were satis-
fed.
Later in the evening a committee
from the property owners appeared
and said that they were amply salts
fed with the offer and the contract was
at once placed.
Lowest Vet Secured.
Lower rates for asphalt paving have
been received by the board of public
works. but this is the lowest under
specifications which prevail in the case
Of such a street as University avenue.
Six inches of concrete is required, on
this must be placed an inch and a
half of what is known as binder and
the whole covered with two inches of
asphalt. An inch and a half of asphalt
is used on other streets.
Paving of East Third.
The board yesterday opened bids for
the paving of East Third street from
Broadway to the bridge with granite
blocks, but postponed the award until
it could be ascertained whether the
contractors could get the necessary
granite blocks.
The city engineers estimate for the
work was $4,000, and Fielding & Shop
ley asked $12,360; P. H. Thornton, SILL
629; P. J. Ryan, $12,443; James Forces
tai, $4,000, and Chris Johnson, $12,-
S93.
The original estimate of the cost of
paving the street was nearly $4,000,
but this was considerably reduced by
an offer OF the Great Northern Rail-
way company agreeing to transport
fifty cars of the granite blocks from
the quarries at st. Cloud to st. Paul
free of charge.

EMERSON WAS
HIS IDEAL POET
Frank b. Sanborn Gives
Personal "reminiscences
of the Great Author.

The admirers Of Emerson enjoyed
a rare treat last evening when they
listened with Wrapt attention to the
remarks of Frank B. Sanborn, a person.
al friend of Emerson for over thirty
years. Mr.. Sanborn. an author. publ
cist and critic of note related many
incidents and quoted from some I'M
published poems of Emerson. 1t was
in 1852 that Sanborn first heard Emer-
son speak and from that time on he
enjoyed a close acquaintance with him,
being the teacher of his only son, DR..
Edward Waldo Emerson.
Speaking of some of his earlier po-
ems he said they showed marked orig
inality and indicated bright future
in the field of letters. Many of his best
poems were written in the years 1886
to 1872. He had no ear for music and
it is difficult to adapt any of his verse
to music, although it has been done.
To the speaker fell the lot of COM
pleting, in a way, some of Emerson
verses, the journal kept by the emf
nent author aiding him very mate
rally in the work. Emerson would
often arise in the middle of the night
to make a note of some thought that
would come to him. and which he
thought would escape his mind before
morning.
Mr.. Sanborn related how Emerson
had written articles for the Atlantic
Monthly, of which he was one of the
founders, and how the editor Of the
magazine would hold out the article
until he saw fit to publish it. much to
the discomfort of Emerson. who some
times would withdraw the manuscript.
Emerson was born in a parsonage
and was educated for the ministry.
The speaker told of some of his work
as a Unitarian minister. The inscrip-
tons on some of the famous monu-
ments which mark historic places in
Massachusetts are of his composition,
the one entitled "The Minute Man.
being characteristic of the author. the
lines of which run:
BY the rude bridge that arched the flood
Their flag to ApriPs breeze unfurled;
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the
world.
The speaker last evening was intro
duced by Rev. r. w. Boynton, of Unity
church. who referred to him as one par
ticularly fitted to speak of one of the
greatest of American poets.

BREEZES BLOW AT
INDIAN MOUND PARK
Assemblyman Van SIyke Says Screens
Are Needed at Pavilion.

IF the board of park commissioners
had any consideration for the comfort
of the people that patronize Indian
Mounds park, they would provide the
Veranda of the refreshment pavilion
with screens" said Assemblyman Van
Slyke yesterday.
Il visited the park Sunday and
patrOnized the pavilion. but the wind
was blowing such gale that it was
a positive discomfort instead of an
enjoyment. 1t swept through the pa
vilion and everything had to be
weighted down to keep it from blowing
away. There is always a breeze at
Indian Mounds, and that is one of it's
delights, but the pavilion should be
screened that there will not be annoy
ance when it approaches a gale as it
did yesterday.
These are little things that don't
cost much" concluded Mr.. Van Slyke,
but they are quite a comfort to those
that patronize the parks"

Twenty first U. S. Infantry Will Pitch

Although the order has not been Of
f1cially promulgated, it is understood
that the United States Twenty first In
fantry will go into summer encamp-
ment this year at LakevieW, the same
grounds whereon the state militia will
drill this season.
Some doubt was at first entertained
as to whether a $500 yard range could
be secured, but this difficulty has been
overcome and no doubt now remains
as to whether the regulars will go to
the new camping place.
The troops will go to camp by battaI-
Ions, the first will arrive at Lakeview
about June %, when the Third regi-
ment of the National Guard will be
leaving. These will remain until about
the first week in July, when the second
will arrive, staying until the middle
OF the month. The battery of artillery
will arrive about the last In the lat
ter part of the summer, and in this

cost Of the work at $17,412, and the
lowest bid, that of D. w. Moore, was

something must be wrong and delayed
