LEGAL OPINION WANTED
MINNEAPOLIS MILL COMPANY
AND CITY MAY GO TO COURT
OVER A DISPUTED POINT.

In order, to secure judicial interpret
and the Minneapolis Mill company rela-
tive to the lease of four millpowers at
the West Side pumping station, the city
has refused to pay the quarterly in
stallment of $1,000. The action was
decided on by the council committee on
waterworks yesterday afternoon, and it
is assumed that the council will stand
by the committee.
In that event it will be for the mill
company to show that the contract is
valid. There has always been discon-
tent on the part of the city authorities
over the arrangement with the mill
company. When the West Side station
was in daily operation the annual
charge of $4,000 per year was cheerfully
paid, but when the North Side station
was completed and the lower pumps
were used very little, the amount was
considered excessive, particularly as
it was assumed that the mill company
had the use of the four mill powers
which were leased as we'll as the two
powers which the city owns outright.
Every request for reduction has been
refused. It is argued that the lease is
invalid on the ground that the city
council has no authority to enter into
a perpetual contract Of that kind.

FOUND NO C0L0NISTS
REPUBLICAN SCARE ABOUT
.'PACKED' POLL LISTS WAS
GROUNDLESS.

1t is estimated that between 1000
and 4,500 voters registered at the polls
yesterday, the greater part of them by
far being republicans.
AS stated in Tuesdays Journal, the
registration the first half of the day
was very light. In the afternoon and
evening, however, business was better
with the officials at the various polling
places.
The downtown polling places were
closely watched last evening by re-
publicans for the alleged attempt that
was to be made to "pack' the poll
lists, but no illegalities were attempted.
The registration proved a quiet affair,
The legal requirement. is that the
registration officers return the poll lists
to the city clerk before 10 am. the
day following the registration. This
rule was little observed today, scarcely
hundred returns being in by noon, and
number Of these were left untabulated
by the registration officers.
The registration seems to have been
heaviest in the downtown precincts.
Generally speaking, from twenty-five to
forty voters on the average, were
registered at each voting place, and
with few exceptions, no more women
were registered. Unless the unregis-
tered vote turns out in good numbers
next Saturday for registration, the vote
in Minneapolis the coming election will
be little if any larger than it was two
wears ago.

Recovery OF Property May Not Lead

Altho c. s. Pillsbury has not yet per-

ones stolen by the twilight workers
that entered his residence month ago.
Two detectives We're, sent to Chicago
last night with minute description of

is established Mr.. Pillsbury will 9oe

men in whose possession the stolen

carved charm, representing a mummy

the articles found Such charm,
thought to be the only one in the
world, was taken from the Pillsbury
residence. These two things alone are
sufficient to satisfy the police that the
property belongs in, Minneapolis.

jewels are found, they may not be the
burglars. The Chicago police think the
burglars are still in Minneapolis and
have an underground system of getting
the goods to Chicago for sale. In most
cases the crook and the agent are in
different cities and it is possible that
when the excitement dies down more
"touches' will be made. 8
The police here have done everything
in their power to run down the gang

tional reputation, is now doing time in

the gang has probably gone to some
other city.

FAST SLEUTHING
Hawkshaws Trailed Bicycle Thief
Catching Him in Jig Time.

A practical detective and a good BIZ

stedt. Someone entered the warehouse
of the J. I. Case Implement building
Monday night, and stole three new
wheels, valued at $50 each. Lofstedt
was put on the case and learned that
one of the wheels had been sold by a
man whose description he secured. TAX
ing two unclaimed wheels from the Cen
trail station and calling in Albert john
son, as assistant, he started on the
chase.
After an hours rapid patrolling of
North Minneapolis they saw their man
and followed him to his room on Plym-
outh avenue, where they arrested him.
The two missing wheels were found in
the room. The prisoner gave the name
Of Charles Higgins. He refuses to talk

TRY MODERN FORESTRY
T. B. WALKER AND SONS TO
ADOPT NEW PLAN IN CUTTING
TIMBER FOR WESTERN MILLS.

Thomas B. Walker of Minneapolis
the millionaire lumberman, who, with
his sons, OWNS some $4,000 acres of
timber lands in Shasta, Siskiyou and
Modoc counties, California, will adopt
modern forestry methods in the cut.
ting of the timber for the mills, and
will by this means have a timber sup
ply for sixty years.
At the outset, no trees under thirty
inches in diameter are to be cut. That
will take about one-third Of the for:
ests, and leave still heavy wooded
district with an opportunity for the
smaller trees more speedily to attain
their growth. After the ground is once
covered, it will be gone over year af
ter year under the same system, thus
supplying timber for over half a cen
fury to come.
A new sawmill is to be established
by Mr.. Walker, and a logging, railroad
will connect it with the Southern Pa:
cifc line at Redding.'T - r.

OLD LAW HITS ..
LAKE QUESTION
PROPERTY OWNERS CONSENT
NEEDED TO CHANGE LEVEL.
An Act Of 1897 Which So Provides
Was Passed to Assist an Up-Country
Village, but It Seems to Apply to
the Present Minneapolis Controversy.

When the city council undertook to
supersede the park board in controlling
the water levels in Lake Calhoun, it
appears to have overlooked an i'm
portant provision in the act authorizing
incorporated cities to make whatever
arrangements are necessary Ito raise
and preserve lacustrine stages of water.
This act is Chapter 1877 Of the General
Laws of 1897. 49,, ,,.,. ... .
Section 2 of this law reads as fol-
lows:
None Of the waters Of any said lakes
shall be raised or the waters Of any stream
be diverted from its natural course under
the authority conferred hereby until said
incorporated city or village shall lobtain
the consent in writing Of al 1.-The property
owners whose property will be damaged
or injured by the said raising or diverting,
and shall have filed such consent together
with a release Of such or any damages Oc-
| casioned by the same in the office Of the
recorder of said incorporated city or vii
lage; or until said incorporated city or
village shall have acquired by condem-
nation proceedings as hereinafter pro-
vided, the right to flow or otherwise in
jure any land Of any Of the owners which
may be injured thereby and whose volun-
tary consent cannot be obtained or pro-
cured.
It is we'll known that the city council
did not obtain the consent of the owners
of land about Lake Harriet nor around
Lake Calhoun when it established the
level OF these lakes, and no attempt is
being made to secure the consent Of the
owners of real estate at Lake of the
Isles, nor to offer them any compensa-
ton.
An attorney says that the action of
| the council is invalid and that the park
commissioners need give no considera.
ton to the action of the city council OF
any of its servants.
When the law was passed, the author
had no intention Of depriving park
boards Of any authority, nor had any
member Of the legislature any idea that
the law was to be construed as it has
| been by the aldermen. AS matter of
fact it was passed for the sole benefit
of a little town in the northern part Of
the state which became involved in a
| dispute with a corporation over the
stage Of water in a lake. It was in,
tended to apply to special case and
no one thought for a moment t.
abridge the authority Of any constituted
park board nor did anyone think that
the law would be called into use again
after it had served it's specific purpose
So say those who are in position tc
| know.
