The assessed valuation of the stock
on hand March 1, 1904, and March 1,
1903, shows considerable variation
The assessed valuation of stock on
hand was made by the personal prop
erty assessors on the sta tementS made
by the mill owners. The valuations of
stock on hand for 1904 and 1903 are
as follows:
The Forbes Bros property and
ThOS. Pages mill are both on leased
ground, railroad right of way, and the
value of the real estate is not figured
in their assessments, and the assess
nents of each were made by the per-
SOnal property assessors and not by
the three assessors making up the
board to assess real estate and real
property.
The only mill receiving a lower as
sessed valuation this year than last
year is the mill of Thos. Page & CO.
and the Taylor Commission company.
After the assessors had decided upon
the assessed valuations of the mills q
uniform reduction of 10 per cent was
allowed.
Last year, after the assessments for
the values on March l had been made

In speaking of the assessments Mr..
Jewell said: THE owners of mills
complained that the assessments were
not just and the millers had a good
deal of discussion among themselves
as to the proper assessments. One
complaint was that mills with a 500
barrel capacity were assessed the

LIGHT RAIN is DUE
Weather Bureau Predicts Drop
of Ten Degrees.

The cooler weather and rain predict
ed for last night was to be shipped
in, said Observer Oliver, from Cal
gary, Alberta province, Canada, where
the temperature had fallen yesterday
morning four degrees below the freez-
ing point. At Edmonton, in the same
province, the mercury had not climbed
above the freezing point.
Locally the change of temperature
was expected to bring a drop of ten
degrees by o'clock this evening. The
rain might come last night or today.
Whenever it arrived, it would not be
heavy.
Yesterday morning st. Paul and
Minneapolis reported a temperature
of so degrees. That is, the Twin Cities,
La Crosse and Pittsburg were exactly
as frigid as Boston. st. Paul was
warmer, nevertheless, than were Port
land, Spokane, Denver, Chicago or
Cincinnati; only degrees cooler than
San Francisco or Knoxville, Tenn, and
only degrees more wintry than Los
Angeles, Oklahoma City and New
York.
Throughout the United States yes
terday morning the coolest point was
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, where the
thermometer indicated 2 degrees above
freezing. The warmest station was
Galveston, Tex, and there the mer-
curry had touched the modest spring
time altitude Of 70.

VIOLATE FISH LAW
Many Anglers Are Arrested
With the Goods.

Deputy state game wardens have
been very busy during the past few
days in experimenting violators of the
state fish laws. At the office Of the
game and fish commission at the state
capitol reports were received yester-
day of a number of convictions, with
fines imposed, while two men are do
ing ten days time in Aitkin county
upon refusal to pay the fines and costs
assessed against them.
Halam EuSted was captured at Ma

assessed $50 and costs upon being
caught with a fish trap in his posses
sion; Fred Rose Adolph Tester, John
Meatzold and William Diedrich were

CLINCS To COLLEGE
St. Peter to Make Effort to Re.

Leading citizens of st. Peter will
make a desperate effort to retain for

the educational institution connected
with the Swedish Lutheran church, and
which interested people of Minneapo-

Minneapolis put in bid for the re-
moval of Gustavus Adolphus to that
city some two years ago, and wealthy
citizens of the Mill City subscribed
literally to a fund to that end. Con-

in the college removal plan, and G. A.

STATE MAKERS MEET
Territorial Pioneers Hold An
luaI Reunion.

Men and women who had wrought a
state from an almost unbroken terri
tory gathered at the log cabin at the
state fair grounds yesterday morning
and held the annual reunion of the
Minnesota Territorial Pioneers asso-
citation.
Nearly 200 of the pioneers and their
wives were in attendance, and the
1904 reunion was the most successful
in point of numbers of any ever held.
At the banquet at institution hall,
at which President e. w. Durant, of
Saltwater presided, Gov. Van SAINT was
the principal speaker, and he referred
particularly to the recent death of Col.
A. r. .Kiefer, and the possibly fatal ill
ness of Gen. John Benjamin Sanborn.
The weather was uncomfortably
cool, and the pioneers declared by
means of a resolution that future re-
unions should be held at the state cap
itof. '.
The officerg reports showed the as
ISOLATION in fiourishing financial con-
dition. The officers Of last year were
Endorsed by re- election. They are: E.
w. Durant, Saltwater, president; John
Cooper, st. Cloud, first vice president;
]. E. Bell, Minnea polls, second vice
president; George H. Hazard, st. Paul,
secretary.
The women's auxiliary to the Pho
neers' association also reelected its
officers: Mrs. Southworth, Shakopee,
president; Mrs. Potts, Minneapolis, vice
president; Miss Carrie Stratton, Min
neapolis, treasurer; Mrs. G. H. Haz-
card, st. Paul, secretary.
The afternoon was devoted to a re-
union and social features, including
fashioned country dances at the
log cabin. There were numbers of

LECTURES ON THE
PARADISE OF PACIFIC
William A. Bryan Tells Some Interest
ing Things Concerning Hawaii.

William A. Bryan, curator Of the
Bishop museum, of Honolulu, addressed
the st. Paul Teachers association, the
Taylor's Memorial Aid society and
about 200 high school students yester-
day at the Central high school on "A
Journey to Hawaii, the Paradise of the
Pacific"
The feature of the lecture was the
fine collection of stereopticon views
collected by Mr. Bryan during his
three years stay on the islands. He
presented to the audience not only the
usual views Of the volcanoes and
mountain Businesses, but also views
of the palaces, public buildings, fac
tories, harbors, etc. He also gave a
very interesting description of the
large leper. colony on the islands
Among his more surprising state
ments were that there are fewer illit-
crates in the Hawaiian army than IN
any other army in the world, and one
fourth Of the population Of Honolulu
speaks English.

every number had been called. This
system. 1t is claimed, prevented spir-
lted bidding and was not carrying out
the provisions of the law, which called
for the sale of the property at public
auction. 5eFt
1t is pointed out that should the bid
der holding a low number make bid
OF 10 per cent on piece of property
he would not have an opportunity to
meet the bids, of his opponents until
every oneH1else, had been offered a
chance to bid in the property. While
this same person might have been
willing to bid in this property at or
s per cent, he would have to remain
silent and see the property go to some
other bidder at the same figure
Asserts Bidders Hadn't Equal Show
Asked regarding his opinion as to
whether this system was in accord
ance with the statute requiring a sale
at public auction, Attorney John d
O'Brien said last night that in his
opinion it was not. He said it was a
system WHICH, did not give the bidders
an equal chance, and was not in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
statute. 1t was explained a sale at
public auction was meant to give
everyone an opportunity to bid on
to do So Under County Auditor Krah-
mer's method the bidder was silenced
except at certain times, and had none
of the privileges which would be his
right under a public auction sale.
When asked if the sale had been
conducted in this manner a year ago
Mr. Krahmer yesterday admitted tC
TIL e GIL b that it had. admitting
at the same time that when a bidder
holding number had bid in his turn
he could not make another bid until
his number was called again.
Deputy Auditor Keller also admitted
that the sale had been conducted by
the number SYSTEM, ~
Yes, we used numbers" said Mr.
Keller, although we are not supposed
to do so. 1t facilitates matters, and
seems to be satisfactory to the bid
ders."', s.fss5
1t was stated upon good authority
at the court house yesterday that suits
will be brought to test the legality Oh
the 1903 sale, and should the court de-
eide that the restriction imposed upon
the bidders by County Auditor Krahme1
was in violation of the statutes, as
well-informed attorneys seem to be-
lieve it will, the county will have tC
account TO last years purchasers fol-

erty sold for delinquent taxes.

THEIR ST. PAUL BRANCH
Officials of Hayner DistiIIina Company
Visit the SANITY City.

The st. Paul branch of the Hayner
Distilling company was inspected yes
terday by a party of officials of the
Hayner company, and under the tu-
telage of Local Agent w. F. Dolke the
officials were shown the progress of
the last years st. Paul business
The party included w. M. Hayner,
president of the company; w. S. Kid
der, vice president of the corporation,
and S. L. Geisinger, it's secretary. Mr.
Geisinger comes from st. Louis, where
he is also local manager, and Mr.
Dolke, the St. Paul manager is treas
urer of the big distilling company.
The others are from Dayton, Ohio, the
home of the concern. T. w. Crosby,
advertising manager of the company,
accompanied the party to st. Paul.
The visiting officials expressed their
satisfaction at the splendid showing
made by the st. Paul branch. The st.
Paul branch is but three years old, yet
every year has shown a fine increase
over the previous years business, and
the results have amply justified the
enterprise of the company in estab-
fishing the branch in st. Paul.

this play for eight weeks and they
think that everything is ready for it's
production in good style tonight

Irregularities in the method of con-
Quoting the annual sale of property
sold for delinquent taxes may result
in the entire sale Of year ago being
declared null and void, In which event
Ramsey county would be placed at an
expense of thousands of dollars in de-
Tending titles to property sold at that
time for an aggregate amount of more
than $4,000.
1t is charged by real estate men and
others who were dissatisfied with the
manner in which the sale was con-
Quoted, that County Auditor Krahmer
violated the law In not selling the
property at public auction, as is spe-
officially provided for in. the statute
quoted above.
It was rumored about the court
house yesterday that suits would soon
be filed, asking that the sale of GER
tain pieces Of property, made a year
ago, be declared null, for the reason
that the sale was not conducted ae-
cording to law. Should these suits be
successfully prosecuted it would mean
the annulment of the entire sale,
which would leave the county in a
worse mixup than it has been for
years.
Say Sale Was Illegal.
The law requires that property sold
by the county auditor for delinquent
taxes be sold to the highest bidder at
public auction, but it is contended that
County Auditor Krahmer did not COM
ply with the law, and the contention is
supported by the. most eminent legal
talent in the city.
In conducting the sale Of a year ago,
which was the first sale under County
Auditor Krahmer, the bidders were
given numbers and were required by
the auditor to bid in their turn. There
were in the neighborhood of fifty bid
ders, each being given number.
When parcel of property was put
up for sale, the bidder holding No. 1
was given first bid, No. 2 second bid.
and so on down the line until all fifty
had been given an opportunity to bid
on the property, but after once bid
ding, person holding low number,
was not allowed to bid again until
