MOVE TO MINNESOTA
This State Would Profit if Wiscon-
sin Passed the Ad Valorem
Railroad Tax.
Milwaukee Shops Would Then Be
Moved Across the River to La
Crescent.


Should the ad valerem railroad tax blu
pass the Wisconsin, legislature. La Cres-
cent Mimi, across the Mississippi from
La Crosse.Wis., will become a mighty rail-
road center and La Crosse, which now has
the shops and terminals OF four divisions
of the Milwaukee will become a shriveed
village, This is what an interview with
an high official Of the road in Minneapolis
implies. 1t would be quite a simple mat
ter for the road to move across the river
to a place where land sells for song all
the shops round houses, yards. and other
equipment to bring it's taxation under the
more favora bic laws of Minnesota.
La Crescent Is a hamlet where the River,
Dubuque and Southern Minnesota. div
fsions unite to- go into La Crosse where
also the La Crosse division of the road
ends. What effect the passage Of law viii
have on the promise and intention OF the
company to build a big new passenger sta
ton in the latter city is not known. Ros-
we'll Miller told a committee that if the
town would build a, new hotel the road
would build station. The citizens have
completed the hotel project 5.'"

BURNED THE WAY BILLS
A Small Boy Makes Trouble for the Mil
Waukee.

: Something unusual happened to two
punches of waybills down the road on the
Milwaukee line Ssturday. They were
thrown by small boy into the stove of
an operators shanty and burned. The
destruction of the bills has tied up two
long freight trains containing merchandise
from all parts of the western country.
Some Of the freight may be tied up for
several weeks. or until duplicates arc OBJ
tanned. In case any of the goods were
perishable the loss to the Milwaukee
might mount into the thousands Of dollars.
Such an occurrence has never come to
the road before and it is a little difficult
to tackle the situation. The details Of
occurring duplicate waybills Of the numer-
Dus packages Of merchandise in less than
car lots will be interminable. The police
are looking for the small boy who picked
up the way bills which had been laid down
for a few moments with no one to watch
them.

;,,- With Soft Coal. - H..
The DR. r. J. Schimper soft, coal bri
uuettes were tested yesterday i'll ST. Paul
by the Northern Pacific road under a
power boiler behind the general Office
building. The test showed a gain of 80
per cent in favor Of the briquettes. The
test lasted from 80 p. NJ. until o'clock.
Two large boilers were kept at an equal
pressure during the entire test and under
one boiler the briquettes were burned
and under the other the regular soft coal
generally used in the fireboxes. The soft
coal used was carefully weighed in bar
rels before being put in the fire, and the
briquettes were also weighed. From the
first the briquettes gained and the fire
produced BY the briauettes was more
steady. During the time the test was
continued, 1e5 pounds Of briquettes were
consumed, as against i .324 pounds of soft
coal. The difference was 5es pounds. or

DOG HITS The BRIAR.
spitz, a Fluffy Eskimo, Recently
Arrived, Creates Mild Sensa-
ton on the Street.
Smokes Up Like Veteran Habit
Said to Be Common Among
Lapland Dogs.

A fluffy white dog sat in front Of 4
store building on Third street this morn
Ing and puffed away contentedly on j
long stenmed briar pipe. The remark
able spectacle attracted the attention Of
all pedestrians who passed that way, and
most of them lined up in front of the
grave and reverend canine, who was evil
IDENTIFY dragging as much comfort from the
pipe as any two-legged devotee Of the
weed The dog would occasionally remove
the pipe by the use of both forepaws and
take a deep inhalation which generally
sent him into mild fit Of sneezing, which
he seemed to enjoy on the same principle
that a person enjoys taking snuff. Then
he would smoke ,.p again as though
nothing unusual was happening. He
finally got a firm grip on the pipe and
putting like a small automobile, followed
his master down the street.
The dog, whose name is "Spitz,' is
the property Of H. Gaber Of 23O Henne-
pin avenue. He is an Eskimo, having
been born in the far north of Europe
about twelve months ago. He came ovel
recently and quickly learned to smoke.
II am not sure, tho, that 'Spitz' was no.
| an inveterate smoker before he strucl
civilization" said Mr.. Gaber. "The Lap
| lander from whom I purchased him in
! forms me that it Is common practice fo
Eskimo dogs, who are near and dear t,
| their masters, to indulge in smoke whel
| their owners happen to have an extr;
supply of tobacco
