WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. 10.-The
following is the message Of the pres
ident to the extraordinary session Of
! congress-
ITO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatiyes:
II convened this congress that 1t
may consider legislation necessary TO
put into operation the commercial
treaty with Cuba, which was ratified
by the senate at its last session, and
subsequently by the Cuban govern
ment. l deem that such legislation Is
demanded not only by our interest,
but by our honor. We can not with
propriety abandon the course upon
which we have so wisely embarked.
When the acceptance of the Platt
amendment was required of Cuba by
the action Of the congress Of the Unit.
ed States, this government thereby
definitely committed itself to the pol
icy Of treating Cuba as occupying a
unique position as regards this coun-
try. II was provided that when the
island became a free and Independent
republic she should stand in such
close relations with the United States
as in certain respects to come within
our system of international policy, and
ii necessarily followed that she must
also, to a certain degree. become In
ellHed witliia iLe linaa of oar3 eco
noinic policy Situated as Cuba is. Il
would not be possible for this country
TO permit the strategic abuse of the
plan BIZ any foreign military power
II IS for this reason that certain lfmi
tations have been imposed upon her
financial policy and naval stations
have been conceded by her 70 the
United States. Negotiations for the
"details Of the stations are on the eve
of completion. They are SO situated
as TO prevent any idea that there Is
any intention ever to use them against
Cuba, or otherwise than for the pro

for the American interests in the wa

DR.. BELT rs "IT."
Commissioners Give Him a Surprise by
Electing Him Coroner.

DR.. w. E. Belt of this city was
elected coroner to succeed DR.. H.
P. Dredge. resigned, at the special
meeting of the board of county
commissioners, commencing Monday
and continuing until yesterday
DR.. Belt was the person surprised,
as he was not candidate, and had
no idea of what was likely to be
done until a short time before the
commissioners held their opening
session.
Only two ballots were necessary
to decide who was sit" and on the
second ballot DR.. Belt won out, re-
ceiving three votes against two
votes for DR.. H. E. Schlegel
The first ballot resulted in DR..
Belt. receiving one Voted. R.
McCorquodale of Delhi leading the
ballot for Belt. John F. Cain voted
for DR.. Bickford of Milroy, C. W.
Mead voted for DR.. Schlegel, George
Posi- voted for DR.. Chadbourne and
j. W. Garlic voted for DR.. J. L.
Adams.
On the second ballot it is believed
that Commissioners Garlic and Posi-
rallied to the standard of Mr.. Nc
.Corq uodale and cast the votes that
elected DIR. Belt to the place. Com
missioner Cain apparently joined
with Commissioner Mead in voting
for DR.. Schlegel Mr.. Belt was
Immediately notified of his election,
and at the meeting Tuesday morn
ing the commissioners approved his
bond.
The commissioners denied the
petition of a bunch of property
holders for the location of a county
road between Willow Lake and
w dtefOufy townships,
On Monday afternoon the COM
missioners, with the various bridge
building representatives, drove to
the Delhi bridge for the purpose of
inspecting the approaches and the
old bridge, in order to better obtain
the idea of the different parties
interested as to what kind Of a
bridge ought to be constructed at
that place. The commissioners met
again at 10 clock Tuesday morning
to consider bids for the new bridge.
L. Fl. Johnson of Minneapolis was
the lowest bidder at $1,000.

VALUATIONS GO UP.
State Board Goes After a Number Of
Banks in Redwood County.


The state board of equalization
has been doing few stunts with
personal property valuations all
over the state during the past week
or ten days. and Redwood county
property holders have been hit
along with those of other counties.
The banking system seems to have
got the worst of the bunch, every
county having one or more banks
on which the valuation was in
creased, although Hennepin and
Ramsey county institutions were
left untouched. The total increase
in the assessment was $4,000
The Citizens State Bank of Lam
berton was raised from $4,000 to
$12, 200, the State Bank of Lamber-
ton was raised from $13,O37 to
$14, $40, the state bank of Belview
from 50, 200 to S., $50, the state bank
of Revere from 81, 25O to S., 100, the
state bank of Sanborn from 50, 200
to 81, 200, the state bank of Milroy
from 50, 525 to 81, $50, the state bank
of Wanda from $2,494 to $2,745,
while the state bank of Clements
was reduced from 81, 500 to S., 625.
The banks OF this city we're not
touched by the board.
The valuation of hogs in Red
wood county was decreased % per
cent, although the valuation was
based on instructions sent out some
time ago by the state board of
equalization and is said to be iu
harmony with other valuations in
the county. 1t is possible that the
state board will reconsider the
motion for the decrease and place
the valuation back to where it was
left by the county board of equaliza-
ton.
The valuation of COWS was in
creased 10 per cent. Cows were
valued at $12 by the county board
and this means valuation of $13 20
by the state board. In case a per
son has two cows or less the
valuation will be $13 net, and in case
they have three or more COWS the
valuation will be $13 net. Agri-
cultural tools of Red wood county
were increased 10 per cent. in order
to place them on an equal footing
with the same class 10 other
counties.
Two Renville county banks had
their valuations materially increased
the Olivia State bank aud the
state bank of Renville, the latter
from Sc, $50 to 81, 775. =

Sleepy Eye Herald.
The editor, in company with the
local Maccabee degree team, went
to Redwood Falls last Saturday eve
ming to confer the work of the order
on class of fourteen new members
for the Maccabee tent of that city,
and the visitors were royalty enter
tanned by the brethren of our sister
town. We found lot Of good fell
lows there that know how to treat
visitors. Among the very pleasant
features of the visit was trip up
the lake on the gasoline launch,
Alice, rendered by Editor Schmahl
of the Gazette. To our surprise the
lake is larger than we had anticipa-
ted and makes a very attractive
place for pleasure seekers to go and
spend day or so. Our neigh bors
have erected large dam that has
raised the water in the Redwood
river over 30 feet higher than its
usual bed, making the lake nearly
four miles long and about quarter
of mile wide. Near the dam
where the landing is located, there
has been built large boat house
for boats, and from there pleasure
seekers can take boats for a ride up
the lake to fine park nearly four
miles from town.
The park consists of eleven acres
Eof ground covered with timber.
There has also been erected fine
pavilion where picnics and parties
are held during the season. Up and
down the lake all the way the seen,
cry is very attractive and during
the summer, with all the trees and
foliage clothed in their native green,
the ride cannot be other than one oil
great pleasure, not only to strang.
ers, but to the citizens of Red wood
Falls. This piece of enterprise on
the part of a number of Redwood
citizens is indeed highly creditable
to them and the visitors we're loud
in their praises of what had been
done IN the making of such beauti-
full lake. The falls at the dam and
the two other falls below the mil
are also beautiful. Our visit to Red
/ wood Falls will not be the last.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Lawrence Kings Barn In Delhi Burned
to the Ground Thursday.

The fine barn on the farm of
Lawrence King, Delhi township,
was totally destroyed by fire about
II o'clock last Thursday morning
The fire originated from an ex-
plosion. Mr.. King was in the
basement of the structure, taking
out a water pipe below the steps
leading into the basement. He had
taken lantern into the barn with
him, and left it standing just a short
distance from where he was work
ing. A hen, having laid an egg in
it's nest near by, flew off the latter
and against the lantern, knocking it
over. Mr.. King paid no attention
to the racket for a few seconds, but
when he turned around he dis
covered that the lantern had been
knocked over. He went to pick it
up and just as he reached for it the
lantern exploded, the blaze setting
fire to the loose hay and straw in
the basement, and in a few seconds
it had spread all over the barn.
Mr.. King was alone on the
premises at the time, and while he
made an effort to extinguish the
flames the attempt was fruitless.
| In less than 10 minutes the flames
had encompassed the barn, and in
30 minutes from the time that the
lantern exploded the barn was in
ashes.
The only animal that was in the
barn at the time of the fire was q
pig, and this was driven out. Some
hay and some feed, not great
quantity of either, were destroyed
by the blaze.
I The loss is estimated at between
81, 900 and 81, 200, on which there
was insurance of $500, the Aetna
Insurance Co., of which H. A. Bald
win of this city is agent, having
written the policy.
