FEET OF PINE TIMBER
State Will :. Realize About 100000
From the Clean Up.

Gen. Andrews, chief forest fire war
den of Minnesota, says in regard to the
burning of tops and refuse on the Chip
pewa reservations:
Next December beginning will be
made in the sale of the standing pine
timber on the Chippewa Indian reser-
vat1ons in the vicinity of Cass and
Leech lakes. The public takes, or
should take, interest in the matter be-
cause the welfare of the Indians de-
ponds much on whether they receive
a fair price for the pine, and because
the repute Of forestry will be affected
to some extent by the way the business
is done.
December 9Th sale at the Cass lake
land office, will commence of 36,00O,-
goo of pine, and on Dec. 20 of 277y0Q0,-
geo feet more; all under sealed bids
1t is now standing in thirty-four diff
ferent townships and being near rail-
roads and waters tributary to the Mis-
slSsippi will bring in the aggregate
about 100000; being as much as the
United States, fifty years ago, paid the
south half of Minnesota.
'The purchasers are required to cut
and remove not less than 25 per cent of
the timber embraced in their bids on
or before July 1, 1905, and not less
than 25 per cent of such timber on or
before July 1 of each of the three sue
cessive years thereafter; the entire
amount to be cut and removed before
July 1, 1908. This is but part of the
pine on the reservations"

Action Is Brought to Settle Dis
pensing of Wilder Charity.

In friendly suit brought yesterday
the district court is asked to. determine
which of two sets of trustees is to man
age the fund Set aside by Amherst H.
Wilder in his will for a charity. The
charity, 1T appears, is quite distinct
from the charities provided for under
the terms of the wills left by the widow
of Mr.. Wilder and by their daughter,
Cornelia Day Wilder Appleby.
In the suit brought yesterday the
court is called upon to settle some
mooted questions which arise out of
the wording and provisions of the will
and codieil of Amherst Wilder.
The plaintiffs in the suit are Victor
M. Watkins, Theodor Borup and
Charles N. Bell, as surviving trustees,
appointed and acting under the last
Will of Amherst H. Wilder. The de-
PENDANTS, in part, are: Charles H.
Bigelow, Edwin w Winter, William r.
Merriam, William B. Dean, Victor NJ.
Watkins, Judson W. Bishop and Har-
vey officer, named as trustees in the
ninth and fifteenth sections of the last
will of Amherst H Wilder; Claiming
Seabury, Henry P Upham, William r.
Merriam, Victor NJ Watkins, Henry c..
Burbank and Harvey officer, as the
surviving executors and trustees named
in the codicil of the will of Amherst
H. Wilder.
Other defendants are the executors
of the AppIeby and Mrs. Wilder wills
and the legatees under the viii of Mr..
Wilder
The object of the suit is solely to de-
termine the legal status of the trust
left by Mr.. Wilder, and is brought in
order that no.,lega1 entanglements may
hereafter occur.
Mr.. Wilder by his will made pro-
visions for bequest to charity. The
plaintiffs aver that the time has now
come when necessary and appropriate
proceedings should be taken to put said
charitable bequeSt into force and op-
Grafton. -
Mr.. Wilder provided that about one
third of his entire estate, or the income
therefrom, should be paid to his daugh-
ter for life, or in the event of her death
to her children should there be any.
It was provided that if the daughter
should die without children, which she
did, that this income should be paid to
the wife during herG1ifetime, and in the
event of the death of both wife and
daughter, which has come to pass the
principal sum should be paid to the
trustees, W.aR. Merriam, G. II. Bigelow,
e. w. Winter, W. B.. Dean, V. M. Wat
kins, J. w Bishop and Harvey Officer,
to be used for charitable purposes The
trustees have the right to found a 1les-
pital orphan asylum, home of refuge
for the. poor or sick, or otherwise oper-
ate and maintain a charitable institu-
ton. 1t was provided that the name,
Amherst H. Wilder" should attach to
any charity founded,
+. Before the charity should be found
ed, it was provided that certain legacies
must first be paid, involving an outlay
of some 100000. The legatees are de-
handing their legacies, and the ques
ton of paying them is one of the mat
.ters which the courts will be asked to
determine. ~ .rsS .>.,.....

MAKE Her HAUL
POstOffice Thieves Blow Safe in
Office at PiIlaeer.

"A telegram yesterday notified the
postoffice inspector that the postoffice
at Pillager, Mimi, had been broken
into and robbed Monday night. The
message was from Postmaster E. P.
Bacon, and contained no information
aside from the fact that the office had
been broken into and the safe blown
some time during the night. The
amount stolen was not stated
Postofffce burglars have been caus-
ing more trouble in the territory with
in the st. Paul division during the past
six months than ever before. For a
time their operations were confined al
most entirely to the Dakotas, but more
recently the operations have been in
Minnesota and Wisconsin, A number
OF Minnesota and Wisconsin offices
have been robbed within the past six
weeks, and so we'll have the BURGLARS
covered their tracks that the postoffice
inspectors have, as yet, been unable to
get any trace of them.
While the Dakota postoff1ces were
being burglarized number of special
inspectors were put on the cases, and
While few arrests were made, it is
believed that the real gang which is
credited with the work is still at large.
1t is the belief of the postoffice in
Spector that an organized gang has
been operating in the Dakotas and
Minnesota and Wisconsin, making
postoffices a speciality. In no instance
where postoffices have been broken
into have there been any other bur-
glar1es in the same town.

ACCUSES HIS WIFE
Claims She Took $4,000 He.
Had Saved,

Joseph. Pfeiffer, woodworker, yes
terday applied to County Attorney
Kane for warrant for the arrest of
Mrs. Pfeiffer, whom the husband
charges with carrying away his strong
box IN which were $4,000, the result of
his years of saving.
Mrs. Pfeiffer, accompanied by the
four Pfeiffer children, is said by the
husband and father to have left st.
Paul Monday for the home of her par
ents at Sunf1sh lake, and he believes
ihat MS savings were taken by the wife
before her departure.
Mr.. Pfeiffer and his wife have had
troubles for years past and for some
time the financial accounts of the fam
lily nave been kept separately. The
husband says he furnished his wife
With sufficient amount of money for
the needs Of herself and the house,
and the rest was put away by him. Fol-
lowing the failure some time ago of
a savings bank in which Pfeiffer lost
5000, he commenced keeping his money
IN a TIN box at his home, which he con-
cealed.
Last Sunday the strong box was
missed by Pfeiffer, and when he ac-
cused his wife of taking it, he says, she
made no denial, but refused to tell him
uiSPOolIou SItS naQ maze OF the
money. Later, however, according to
the story told by Pfeiffer to County At
torney Kane, when he threatened his
wife with the law she denied any
knowledge of the money, saying she
had not seen it and did not know where
it was.
The husband then applied to the
county attorney for warrant for the
arrest of his wife, but Mr. Kane in
formed him that he could not have his
Wife arrested for larceny.

COULDN'T SELL GAS
PLANT To THE CITY
BondhoIders CouIdn'tBe Bound
by Such Franchise Deal,
SaysPresident Lathrop.

''The officers of the gas company
have no authority to make any propo-
sition to the city for the sale Of the gas
plant, and 1 don't see how they can
comply with Mr.. MichaePs proposition
to sell or donate it to the city. The
bondholders have the right to say what
shall be done with the plant, and until
their lien is satisfied the officers can
do nothing. However, if the city wants
to buy the gas lighting plant, we have
got one to SELL" said A. p. Lathrop,
president and general manager of the
st. Paul Gas Light company, yesterday
afternoon in an address before the board
of directors of the Chamber of Com
merce.
Furthermore, if the company could
sell the plant, the proposition made
by Mr.. Michael is preposterous, con-
tinued Mr.. Lathrop. He asks us to
sign an agreement to transfer our plant
to the city for it's appraised valuation
at the end of twelve years, free from
all incumbrance. We cannot, in any
manner possible, sell gas for a dollar
a thousand, pay the city gross earn
ings tax of 5 per cent and make
enough besides to pay off all the COM
pany's bonds during the next twelve
years. 1t is not practical and is not a
business proposition"
Says City viii Be Loser.
Mr.. Lathrop gave a synopsis of the
ordinance submitted to the city council
by the gas company and said it follow
ed very closely the report of the fran
chiSe commission. He stated that he
felt that the company was doing all
that could be reasonably expected in
the ordinance which it proposed. and
could not accede to the demands made
by Mr.. Michael. He declared that if
the company was not granted fran
chiSe the city would lose a great many
things, while the council had nothing
to gain by not granting it. Among the
things the city will lose, Mr.. Lathrop
said, will be an extension of the mains
to st. Anthony Park. "We do not mean
this as threat" said Mr.. Lathrop,
"but if We are forced into expensive
litigation to settle our rights under
the present franchise we will not be
able to make any improvements.
Members Discuss the Subject.
eve are willing to have incorporated
in the ordinance a clause providing
that the company shall extend the lines
at the direction of the city council,
but we cannot stand for ten miles ex-
tension each year for the next twenty
five years. We are willing to be fair"
Upon the completion of his address
Mr.. Lathrop answered a number of
questions put to him by the members
of the chamber. There was a good deal
of discussion over the plan of the COM
pany to place the minimum charge for
use of gas at 81 a month, but the ques-
ton of whether or not the company
should agree to transfer it's property
to the city some time in the future was
the main topic. Many of the members
felt that some means by which the
city might acquire the gas plant should
be Incorporated in the ordinance The
franchise question was referred to the
executive committee

A jury In Judge Brilps court yes
terday gave George Bernier, a minor.
a verdict against the ST. Paul cas-
Light company for $4,000 damages for
