SHOWS OWNERS HOW
TO ESTIMATE TIMBER
Forestry Board Is Sending Out Simple
Measurement Tables.

Gen. c. c.. Andrews, secretary. of the
state forestry board, has just issued
bulletin to owners of timber lands in
this state which contains newly ar :
ranged Information as to- methods of
computing the value Of standing tim
Der of different kinds. IL 81 81
The bulletin Is prepared by T. l..
Duncan, of Northone, Itasca county,
expert forester of the board, and is
intended as protection to settlers and
others who own timber lands and are
not experienced in making ocular esti-
mates of the mercfantable contents of
standing trees. Unless they are in
formed upon mathematical methods of
estimating their property such own
ers are compelled to rely upon the
judgment of professional estimators,
and have no protection against an esti-
mator who may be inclined to give
them the worst of it.
The bulletin gives tables for various
kinds of timber, with simple rules for
their application. esflz

STREET RAILWAY
WILL PAY ITS SHARE
Complies With Councils De-
mand to Bear Cost of Clean
"a Ing Its Trackage.

The street car company will aid the
city in keeping clean those streets on
which 1t has tracks.
Z G o b e year ago pointed out
this obligation in the street railway
company's franchise, and the point was
taken UP by city officials.
Vice President Goodrich, Of the street
railway company, yesterday Informed
City Engineer Rundlett that his COM
pany stood ready to contribute $1,000
for the immediate cleaning Of the car
line streets, estimating this sum as a
fair allowance for the portion occupied
by the company's tracks.
Further he announced that the COM
pany was willing to enter into a per-
manent arrangement with the city for
the payment Of it's portion of the cost
incurred in the cleaning of the streets
on which it has tracks. The company
uses nineteen feet of the streets where
1t has a double track.
Immediately on receipt of Mr.. Good
rich's offer, City Engineer Rundlett is
sued orders for the rounding up of the
cleaning crews, and they will be put
to work this evening. The company is
moved to this action because of the
complaints of it's patrons regarding the
dust
The ordinance under which the Twin
City Rapid Transit company operates
in st. Paul says plainly that it must
keep clean that portion of the street
between and for a distance of two feet
outside it's tracks, but this is the first
time the company has given evidence
Of the knowledge of such a provision.
T he Globe was the first to call
attention to the persistent violation of
the ordinance provision by the COM
pany a year ago, and a resolution was
soon after introduced in the council de-
manding that the city engineer keep
account of the cost incurred by the
city in sweeping between the tracks,
submit the same to the company for
payment and in the event Of refusal to
inform the council.
The resolution went to the board Of
aldermen, was shelved, and after long
wait was resurrected and submitted to
the city engineer, the reason advanced
for it's failure to pass being it was be-
yond the Jurisdiction of the council.
Two weeks ago, when the cry of a
lack of funds for sweeping was made
before the conference committee, the
question of the street railway COM
pany's paying its part of the cost came
up and Mayor Smith was instructed to
call the company's attention to the
track cleaning provision in it's fran
chise.
The street railways proportion of the
cost of street cleaning, it is estimated,
will be $4,000 year

GRAND JURY IND|CTS
ERNST ONCE MORE
Financier Pleads Not Guilty to
the Fourth Charge-Council
Is Being Investigated.

Another indictment has been re-
turned against Casper Ernst by the
grand jury now in session.
This fourth Indictment against the
banker was reported yesterday after
noon, and as soon as possible there
after Ernst was brought over from the
county Jail and arraigned before Judge
Orr in the criminal division Of the dis
trict court.
The contemplated arraignment was
not generally known and Ernst was
brought into an almost empty court
room.
The indictment charges forgery in
the second degree, it being set forth
that Ernst forged the names Of Chris
tan Diet and wife to a mortgage for
$500, which he sold to Father Plus
Schmid, Of Dakota county.
Ernst pleaded not guilty to the
charge, and was returned to the county
Jail No additional bail was fixed, and
as nothing was mentioned regarding
bail, 1t was an Indication that the
banker has little hopes of securing any,
one to go on his bonds.
Two other indictments were reported
by the. grand jury yesterday after
noon, both against Charles Smith, who
is charged with breaking into a tailor
shop belonging to L. HauSer and steal
ing a quantity of clothing. One indict-
ment charges burglary in the third de-
gree and the other grand larceny in
the second degree.
No bill was reported in the case Of
Luella Banks, the woman who was
charged with having relieved strang-
err in the city of his ready cash some
weeks ago. eI

man Howard Wheeler, Alec Sloan,
sporting editor of the Daily News, and
w. r. Macdonald, sporting editor of
The Globe. William Constans, the
capitalist, who sold the city the site for
the present market on Jackson street;
was also before the jury before it's adj
journment last night. His son, Will
liam Constans Jr., had been summoned
as a witness, but could not be called
last night owing to the lateness of the
hour.
Aside from Mr.. Constans, the wit
nesses who were before the grand jury
yesterday were called in connection
with the downtown ball park deal, and
all Of them were subjected to a most
rigid examination, not alone by County
Attorney Kane, but by members Of the
jury as well.
Mr.. Constans is said to have been
summoned to throw some light upon
certain deals growing out of the pur-
chase by the city Of the market site.
The examination along this line will
be continued by the grand jury when
it resumes it's sessions next week.

DECIDES, POINT IN
SURETY LIABILITY
Court of Appeals sReverses Decision of
Federal Circuit Court.

The United States circuit court for
the Kansas district is reversed in a
decision handed down in ST. Paul by
the circuit court of appeals in the case
of E. A. Long against the National Sc
curity company. Long sued the surety
company to recover. on bond given
by a contractor who failed to complete
his contract. siIi!
In May, 1901, Long entered into a
contract with Thomas Lee Humphreys,
whereby the latter was to construct
and complete brick building within a
specified time, at cost of $4,000.
Before the building was complet-
ed the. cost of building mate
rails and other labor increased to
such an extent that gthe contractor
could not complete the work without
a loss of money, soshe abandoned the
contract and left for parts unknown.
The National Security company was on
his bond, and. AN attempt was COM
menced to compel the surety company
to complete the contract.
This the surety company declined to
do, after which Long completed the
building himself, but at a cost of
$3,037 in excess Of what his contract
had called for. He then commenced
suit against the company to recover
this amount, and was given verdict
for the full amount by the decree Of the
federal circuit court at Topeka.
This decree is reversed by the court Of
appeals in the opinion filed yesterday,
1t being held in the decision that Long
neglected to- inform the surety COM
pany Of Humphreys failure to COM
plete his contract until some time after
the work had been stopped, and in the
meantime thee price OF material and
labor had gone still higher.
The judgment Of the lower court Is
reversed and the case is remanded
back for a new trial. e9aai--
