NICKELS & SMITH, FOR Sc
IECTED BUYERS. e.


The old Sir Charles Gibson estate
at Lake Minnetonkas is to be broken
up. That part of Northome that has
not been marketed is to be sold. The
tract extending from South Northome
on Carson's bay to Robinsons bay,
including the lake frontage and ex-
tending back to the ST. Louis right of
way, has been put in the hands of
Nickels & Smith in Minneapolis, who
will parcel it out to selected buyers.
This means beside the passing of
the famous homesite and adjoining
property of the Gibsons an activity
on one of the most beautiful shore
lines Of the lower lake and the making
available Of sites for future nagnifi-
cent summer homes. '. .., a-.

which contains about all the winning
features Of a home. The house cars
are seventy-nine feet long, longer than
most houses, or cars for that matter.
At one end of each car is a wide
closed Vestibule and at the other end
a piazza platform. The interior is at
tractive because Of the numerous wide
windows and the small high windows
to the kitchen and toilet rooms.
The kitchen and pantry are shut
off from the rest Of the car, the
kitchen containing every modern i'm
provement, such as a range, broilers,
copper utensils and aenamel-lined re-
frigerators. The dining-room has two
large and two small tables, finished in
mahogany. The chandelier of brass
and the hat hooks are arranged espe-
cially for the house cars.
Separated by a short passageway
from the dinihg-room is the parlor,
which has wide windows and easy
chairs. Elegant and :homelike dining
cars have been built also for the new
trains. For those who do not live at
home club cars with all the advan-
tages of club life are provided.

The Glover Leaf-Toledo, st. Louis
& Westerns in trouble with the
Western Passenger association. The as
sociation last May discovered improp-

now accused of having unjustly de-
prived western roads of large sums of
money, mainly thru collusion with
scalpers. In his letter to the roads
Chairman Mcleod says:
''The check of certified copies Of

has disclosed that published tariffs as
filed with the interstate commerce

PAY SALVAGE
CAPTAIN BARTON OF S. S. CLA-

Captain Barton the master of the

pay the $4,000, demanded by j. D..
Spreckels and Brothers as salvage for
the services of the tugs Charles Coun-
selman and Fearless in getting the
Clavering off the reef.
This answer to the demand of the
Spreckels was made this morning by
Captain Barton. Just what action will
be taken by the Spreckels interests is
not yet known. 1T is possible that at
tempts may made to settle the matter
out of court. Should these negotiations
fail OF any satisfactory end, the vessel
may be lfbelled. Captain Barton stated
that the vessel is now being detained
pending the matter of this salvage.
The board of survey appointed by
Lloyds to determine the extent of the
damages to the vessel, has not quite
finished its work. Every thing has
been found to be in quite a satisfactory
state and the damage to the vessel does
not appear to have been very great
