County Veterinarians,

Senator Dart has introduced a bill
designed to check the spread of in
fictitious diseases among horses, cattle,
mules, sheep, and other domestic ami
mails in the state
The bill provides for the appoint
ment Of state veterinary board of
health. This board is to be made up
OF three veterinary surgeons to be ap-
pointed by the governor to one, two
and three-years terms respectively. 1t
also provides for the appointment of
county veterinarians by the boards of
county commissioners.
The bill goes into detail in explain
ing the duties of these new. county Of
f1cers and arms them with considerable
authority.
They are authorized to inspect all
animals suspected Of any infectious
disease, and if the destruction of the
animal inspected is deemed necessary,
they are ordered to appoint three dis
interested witnesses who are to act
as appraisers in determining the value
Of the animal ordered killed. The law
compels the men called upon to respond
to the summons. Three fourths of
the value of the animal is to be paid
by the state upon receipt of the report
of the appraisers.
The measure makes the trans porta-
ton Of suspected or diseased animals
misdemeanor and provides fine of

gress to acquire site for a postoff1ce
building in New York. city. The re-
port recommends that postoffice build
ings be erected over the underground
railway tracks of the Pennsylvania and
New York Central railways in New
York city. The commission recon-
mends that congress extend its powers
so as to enable it to- purchase a site
offered by the Pennsylvania railroad
company on Eighth avenue, extending
from Thirty-f1rst to Forty third street,
where the terminal is to be located;
also to secure a site and to erect
postoffice building over the tracks of
the New York Central railroad or adj
jacent to the new station to be built by
that company. An appropriation of
100000 for the purchase of the Penn
sylvania site is recommended. Sena-
tor Platt, of New York, today offered
an amendment to the sundry civil bill
appropriating $2,000.000- towards the
erection of a new pestoffice building in
New York, his purpose being to carry
out the commissions recommendation.

W. Higgins, Of Minneapolis, on matters
in general, dealing with the questions
vitality affecting the crafts, in humor-
GUS way.
E. P. Bassford, of st. Paul. dealt
with the question from the standpoint
OF the architect. Mr.. Bassford ex-
pressed himself as being strictly in
favor Of unity among the various
crafts instead of the strife which has
so long existed.
H. P. Hall, of St. Paul, followed, with
short talk on Coordination" Mr..
Hall spoke of this as an age Of CO.
operation; that the man who attempt
ed to stem the tide of commercialism
alone, arrayed against all the mighty
forces OF combinations, was CONNER
cfally insane. He commended the
course adopted by the Builders Ex-
change and wished 1t prosperity.
9. E. Evans, Of Duluth, spoke Of the
progress achieved by the exchange OF
that city. He believed that a new era
in the building trades was just about
to dawn; that, instead of the old feel
ing that has for long years been ram
pant among the crafts, a feeling Of
do the other fellow before he can do
you, was passing away, and that in it's
stead would reign the spirit of Coop
GRAFTON in striving for the mutual ben,
eft of all.
A. K. Pruden, ST. Paul, then reca-
pttulated all the different great things
that might be attained by proper use
Of the forces the amalgamated ex.
changes held in their hands.

SENATORS IN NO HURRY.
Lord Early Adjournment Resolution
Left on the Table,

The proposition to cut short this ses-
sion of the legislature will find no
place in the deliberations of the SEN
ate for at least one more week. Sen
ator Lords resolution to adjourn April
was tabled by the upper house yes
terday morning, and it's temperance
will depend entirely upon the amount
of work found confronting the senators
at the end of this time.
Senator Lord called his apparently
neglected resolution from the table
yesterday morning for the considera-
ton of the senate. In explaining his
desire to cut short the working time
of the Legislature, the senator from
Dodge said that he felt confident that
necessary in sixty days, and insinuated
that the people Of the state would give
thanks if the session were cut short.
If the senators gave to the states
business the attention they give to
their own business" said Senator
Lord, they could do all the work need
ed in the sixty days easily. The longer
they remain in session the farther be-
hind they will become in their work
We can take care of these appropria-
ton measures in two weeks, and the
other necessary legislation in three
weeks. One bill is sure to call forth
several other bills, and the longer we
wait, the ndrQer the WOrk Will De-
come
Senator Horton led the movement to
table the Lord resolution. The senator
from Ramsey declared himself in IA
vor of the idea advanced by Senator
Lord, and his only complaint was that
1t was too generous. Senator Horton
believed that the session should be
ended March Is or March 20.
Having explained his position, he
pointed out that it was really too early
to ascertain whether or not the ses-
sion could be cut short, and moved
that the resolution be laid on the table
The senator from Ramsey fixed no
time for the return of the measure, but
stated that he believed the senate
would be able to make plans for the
future in one week much more sue
cessfully than at the present time
Senator Lord insisted that if the
other senators believed the session
should be cut short, the time to act
had arrived, but the motion to lay the
resolution on the table carried-26 to
81.
Speaker Babcock thinks the work of
the session can be satisfactorily clean
ed up by April Is at the latest, and

Not Yet Consolidated.

Adjt. Gen. Dyer, of the Spanish war
Veterans, has issued a circular to his
organization in which he calls atten-
ton to the meeting of the joint COM
mittee on constitution of the Spanish
war veterans and the Spanish Ameri-
can veterans recently held here. Adtt
Gen. Dyer says that he regrets that
consolidation was not accomplished,
the reason for the failure being, he
says, because of the request of the
committee representing the Spanish
American war veterans that the Joint
committee adjourn until certain legal
action contemplated within their asso-
citation first had been determined. It
is not thought that consolidation will
be accomplished before the annual
September meetings of the two So
cieties.

Mr.. Hanna mean that, or is 1t a poIiti-

clared, to give opportunity to unscru-

other exchanges at q dinner in the ban
quet room Of the Commercial club.
!. An address of welcome was delivered
by President ]. w. l.. Corning and the
response, was made by William Porten,
OF st. Paul, on behalf of the builders.
Mr.. Porten spoke of the lack of CO.
operation which has always existed be-
tween the architect and the contractor
two men who above all others should
feel the need Of working together.
Contractors" said Mr.. Porten. "are
not only builders of edifices, houses
and palaces; they are makers of his
tory, and they are those who make
tangible history in the form of ma
terial monuments by which future gen
erauons may grasp the true status of
the days in which that history was
builded.
Wrong Condition Existed.
TT is too bad that owing to the con-
dition Of affairs that has existed for
years-more years than care to emu
merate-that peculiar state of COM
petition and misunderstanding has
been in vogue. So keen has been the
competition, so close has been the bid
ding and estimating that the better the
builder did for his client the worse he
did for himself. This could not be.
There are INSCRIPTIONS builders,
and it is a well known fact that build
ers can lie and cheat as well as other
men. But people seem to have unlim-
tied confidence In the man who will
contract to build a house for less than
the material costs. Whose fault was
1t that such state existed? The men
who did the bidding. They could have
had a fair price had they so desired.
And 1t Is that this undesirable condi-
ton Of affairs may be left behind that
this association has been builded to-
day, the greatest piece of building any
of us have ever DONE"

Gross Earnings Special Order.

The Hugo bill providing for state re-
fundment of gross earnings tax to cit
les losing local railroad taxes by virtue
OF the gross earnings law, will be a
special order Thursday, March II. The
bill was to be considered as a special
order Thursday, but was postponed on
motion of the author to permit it's con-
sideration with the Fryberger gross
earnings bill, which repeats the special
assessment exemption. This feature of
the F'ryberger bill. if enacted. would
permit cities to tax railway companies
for local improvements and render the
