COL. CREEL LOOKS
FOR GOOD CROP YIELD
Field Agent for Department of Aeri-
culture Visits ST. Paul.

Col c. M. Creel, of Devils Lake, n.
D., special field agent for the depart
ment Of agriculture, yesterday COM
pleted the compilation of his. crop re-
port for his district comprising Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and North and South
Dakota.
Col. Creei naturally enough declines
to- discuss the purport of his report to
the department, but is optimistic as to
the present and future of the North
Westss especially his adopted state,
North, Dakota.
Col. Creel insists that the great adj
vantages of North Dakota are not fully
appreciated by the rest of the North
west. The state is, he says, practically
without unsettled portions and the big
tracts are being rapidly broken up by
new settlers. The splendid financial
condition of the North Dakota farmers
is, to Col Creels mind, best proved by
extensive building operations through
out the agricultural districts. Fine
residences and barns to accommodate
whole herds of cattle are being erected
and the mortgage manipulation is a
part Of the past.
THE following comparative figures
on wheat production last year shows
North Dakota to lead the Northwest in
average per acre yield. North Dakota
produced a total of 100000 bushels
of wheat last year, an average of 10
bushels per acre. The average Mime
sofa yield was 10 bushels for a total of
10000 900 bushels, and South Dakota's
10000, 900 bushels of wheat averaged
only II bushels to the acre.

ASSEMBLY APPROVES
PAVING. OF JACKSON
company's Explanation for High Bid
Satisfies Majority of AssembIymen.

BY vote of to 2 the assembly last
night approved the contract between
the city and the Barber Asphalt COM
pany for the paving of jackson street,
from Grove to University avenue.
The approval of thee contract had
been held up for two Weeks, it being
contended by Assemblyman Arnold
that the price of s2.02 per square yard
was too high. y;
s The Barber company was the only
bidder on the job, its bid for the work
completed being $5,S3s, or $2.02 per
yard.
In the committee on streets Mr.. Ar
mold succeeded in having the contract
held up that an investigation might be
made of the price. which was consider
ably higher than the same company
had bid for the paving Of University
avenue.
1t was explained to Mr.. Arnold that
the University avenue job was SO
much larger that the scompany could
afford to take it at less nohey, but the
explanation was not satisfactory, and
when the approval of the contract
came up for passage again last night
Assemblyman Arnold voted against 1t,
as did Assemblyman Van fSlyke.

QUESTIONS
SALOON LICENSES
Wouldn't Vote for Them Until
Assured Money Would Be
Paid on Issue.

.Assemblyman. Wheeler endeavored
to hold up dozen or more applica-
.tions for saloon licenses which were
submitted to the assembly for ap-
prevail last night.
Before I vote to approve these Ii
cenSes want to know whether or not
toe money has been paid or whether it
will be paid Immediately upon their
passage" declared Assemblyman
Wheeler
"Of course it will be paid" said As.
semblyman Van Siyke, chairman of
the license committee. mo person
runs saloon in ST. Paul without pay
ing a license"
We'll, the reason I raise the question
is because / have recently been in
formed that in many instances, where
licenses have been granted. the money
was not paid into the treasury for
weeks, and in some instances months,
after the license had been granted"
Il do not know anything about that
said Mr.. Van Slyke. "but hardly think
1t is so.'
well. I heard it from an, authorita-
tive source" insisted Mr.. Wheeler.
THE license inspector ought to be
able to give the desired information"
suggested President Schiffmann.
Perhaps he could, but the license
inspector is never present at meeting
of the assembly. l think It would be
good plan to have him here at some
of the meetings." said Mr.. Wheeler.
City Clerk Redington assured Mr..
Wheeler that a license was never
granted until the clerks Office had
been advised by the city treasurer tha1
the money had been paid into the
treasury, and with this information as
an assurance Assembiyman Wheeler
withdrew his motion to hold up the Ii
censes, and the assembly voted to
grant them.

ia ~ East Seventh Street
in Spite of Objections.

If the board of aldermen concurs in
the action taken by the assembly last
night there will be saloon in the
building located at 7741k East Seventh
street, despite the protests Of the prop
erty owners in the vicinity.
The assembly last night, after listen
ing to the objections of the property
owners, voted to grant the license, AS
semblyman Van Slyke being the only
member to vote in the negative.
The fight against the location of a
saloon at this place was commencer
last February, when the SehlitZ Brew
ing company, owners of the building,
first proposed to place a. saloon there.
It was contended that the saloon would
be in the residence district.
B. S. Osgood, who lives at 757 East
Sixth street, was one Of the professors
who appeared before the assembly last
night.
"That saloon will be within 200 feet
of my home, and with the bowling al
ley which they are putting in, it will be
a nuisance" said Mr.. Osgood.
There used to be a saloon in the
same building" said President Schiff-
mann.

years, and during these years we have

Schiffmann. 1T was rented for gro

own property adjoining the building in
which the saloon is to be'1ocated and I

there"
Il believe these people who live out
there should have some protection"
said Assemblyman Van S!yke.
II have never. favored granting a
license where there was objection by
the property owners said Assembly
man Wheeler, but in this case it does
not look as though they had anything
to object to-"
The question of granting the license
was put to vote and all of the 'mem-
bers with the exception of Mr.. Van
Slyke voted favorably. The board of
aldermen,h has yet to act in the matter.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Aug. 6. =
What is believed will be the final coun-
ell with the Sioux Indians belonging on
the Rosebud reservation in connection
with the negotiations now in progress
for the surrender of 100000 acres of
their land in Gregory county, will be
held at Rosebud agency tomorrow.
Several thousand Indians are now
gathered at the agency If the council
does not prove to be the final one 1t
will at least be one of the most notable
in recent years. The government will
be represented by Maj. James Nc
Laughlin, an ms pector of the Indian
bureau, who, by reason of his long con-
nection with the management of In
dams, enjoys their. sconfidence to a re-
markable degree. He has been at the
agency over a week and has held sew
eral preliminary councils with the In
dams.
There is every reason to believe the
Indians will accept the exceedingly
liberal proposition of the government
for the surrender of the tract, which
will furnish homes for about $500
white homesteaders. 1t is hoped to
have the preliminaries arranged so
the land can be opened to settlement
next spring.
Thousands of prospective settlers In
the East and West are closely watch
ing the negotiations and praying that
they will be successful, SO they can Sc
cure homes in the tract, which con-
tains some of the finest farming land
in the West.

haust the remainder of the 100000.
This. as explained by Assistant State

fund contained at this time last year.
This difference is entirely in the prison
revolving fund. and the fund of the state
capitol commission. Last year at this
time the Irvine collections of the prison
were much larger than now because the
season was much farther advanced and
the harvest was almost completed. where
as now it has barely begun The fund
of the capitol commission also was much
larger then than now.

State Official Investigates the
Deaths of TeIford and Irene

When Dairy Commissioner McCon-

nesday to investigate the death of Tel
ford Flatgard, supposed to have been
poisoned by eating summer sausage,
he found that a second child of the
same family, Irene Flatgard, had died
at midnight of the previous night.
Mr.. Mcconnell found that Edward
Flatgard, who lives two miles south of
Bergen, and is the father of the two
children. bought three pounds Of sum-
mer sausage on Friday last from a
branch store at Bergen run by the firm
of Quivli & Co.. of Window. OF this
sausage the family ate on Friday and
Saturday, and on Sunday the two
children that have since died ate quite
a large quantity of it. Both of the
children became i'll on Monday morn

: Mr.. Mcconnell found that the sau-
sage bought by Mr.. Flatgard from
Quivli & Co. was part of a lot Of 1858
pounds purchased by that firm June
20 from the Mankato branch store of
Gamble, Robinson & Co.; of Minneap-
oils. and that every bit of tliis sausage
had been sold. From the coroner of
Jackson county Mr.. Mcconnell secured
two samples of the sausage, and these
will be analysed at once. From Gam
BILE, Robinson & Co. 1t has been learned
that their supply of summer sausage
has been purchased from two firms IN
Chicago.
An inquest was held upon the re-
mains of Telford Flatgard, and jury
returned a verdict to the effect that
his death had been caused by eating
sausage that contained poison. Coro-
ner Maitland, of Jackson county, has.
with the consent of the parents, decid-
ed that a post mortem examination
shall be made of the body Of the little
girl Irene, and 1t is entirely likely that
the stomach will be sent to the state
laboratory for examination.

Four hundred and sixty members of
the Laborers' union in Minneapolis
struck yesterday for an increase of
cents an hour. About 100 non union
laboring men went out with them.
Work is suspended on the new pow
er plant. the office building of the Rap

block at Fourth and Nicollet.
The principally affected contractors
are H. N. Leighton & Co., John Wun-
der, C. F.. Haglin and J. w. A. Elliot.
The contractors say they will fill the
places of the strikers with non union
men. The strike is due to long
standing dispute over wages. 1mme-
diately after the strike the men met at
Alexanders hall and fifty-ei appli-
cations for membership were put in.
The strike may be one of long dura-
ton, as the union men declare that no
body will go to work until every con-
tractor has signed the new scale.

ANCKFR DIFFERS
WITH SCH|FFMANN
City Physician Does Not Favor
Cottage Plan for Detention
Hospital.

City Physician Ancker does not
agree with the views expressed by AS
semblyman Schiffmann and Health
Commissioner Ohage concerning the
erection of a detention hospital by the
city. Said DR.. Ancker yesterday:
There is no question but that there
should be radical change of the pre-
vailing conditions. The present deten-
ton hospital on Dale street is not fit
place for any sick person.
When the city undertakes the care
of sick people, it should treat them as
sick people ought to be treated. 1t
has no right to put their lives in jeop-
ardy by placing them in such a build
ing as the Dale street hospital. The
conditions there are disgraceful. The
frame structure Is heated by stoves
and lighted by lamps, and the danger
of fire is imminent
What the city should erect is a
good substantial building, small. it
may be at first, but one which will be
the nucleus of first-class building in
every respect. A heating plant should
be established outside the building and
the entire hospital should be illumi-
mated by electricity"
"Then you do not advocate the build
ing of additional cottages?"
II never did believe in the cottage
plan for hospitals. 1 favor the erec-
ton, as / said, of first-class, fully
equipped, fire proof hospital building.
Such a building might easily cost $780,
000."
ohage Favors Cottage.
Health Commissioner Ohage COIN
cides with the view expressed by As
semblyman Schiffmann that there is
no necessity for the city erecting a
$4,000 detention hospital for conta-
gious diseases. Said DR.. Ohage yester-
day:
Il told the Commercial club commit
tee some time ago that the best plan
would be to put up two cottages ada
cent to the present hospital on Dale
street. We need little more ground,
but this could be secured, and two
frame cottages erected with all mod
ern conveniences for about $4,000 in
round figures.
my best information is that the cot
tages complete would cost about $3,5OO
each My idea would be to get a suffi-
cient amount of money pledged and
then go to work and erect the cot
tages, and, after they were finished,
sell them to the city. This would, in
my opinion, be much cheaper and more
satisfactory than to place the money
in the treasury and have the work
done under contract by the city. :
II agree with Assemblyman Schiff-
mann that small cottages which can
be, closed when there are no patients
is much better plan than erecting one
large building"
