MAINE RAILROAD .
"PO0H:BAH" DEAD
Autocrat of Line Gone, and SIX
Men Will Now Succeed
Him,

Bangor, Me-, Sept. 1O.-When W. L..
Estabrook Of Monson died this week,
there passed away Names one railroad
autocrat. Mr.. Estabrooke came as near
to being the whole thing' on rail
road as it is possible for one man to
be. His line was the Monson railroad,
which extends from the slate-quarry
village of Monson, in the hills Of Pts
cataquis county, down to Monson juno
tion, Oh the line of the Bangor & Aroos-
took, a distance Of eight miles.
From Monsoon to the junction the
grade is a steep decline, so that no
power save that of gravitation is re-
CURED to run the down trains, altho
going back it is hard haul for the
lone little locomotive. The road is a
narrow-gage and its equipment consists
of locomotive, snowplow and twenty
three cars, one of which is combina-
ton baggage and passenger coach.
For .twenty-one years Mr.. Estabrooke
had been the sole official of the road,
officiating as general manager and tick
ct agent, lost-freight and claim agent,
purchasing agent, roadmaster, superin-
tendent Of bridges, train dispatcher,
station agent at Monson (the one sta
tion(, telegraph operator at that place,
conductor, brakeman, baggagemaster,
express messenger and mail clerk.

dozen men to take the various places

INCREASE IN VALUATIONS
STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
rs LOOKING OVER COUNTY AS
SEsSMENTS-LYT AFTER
PACKING COMPANIES.

Real estate valuations in the Red
river valley counties will be increased
about So an acre by the state board Of
equalization. This decision has been
reached by the real estate committee. It
does not figure on a large increase in
the state at large: 1t is likely that re-
auctions will be allowed in some of the
timber counties. The county boards
have increased the assessment of two
years ago in twenty-eight Of the eighty
three counties. The heavy increase is
in st. Louis county, and this accounts
for the fact that the total assessment
returned for the state is larger than in
1902. ~E~-
George Z. Lytle, mayor of South st.
Paul, and the Nemesis of the packing
companies there, will urge the board to
increase the assessment of the Union
Stock Yards company. The assessment
is now $340 900. It is claimed that on
the statement Of General M. D. Flower,
the plant is worth 100000 and on the
so per cent basis, this would call for an
assessment Of $2,750,00O.

honored by his presence, and democracy

Judge w. B. Douglas, who has Just
returned from three weeks vacation
spent at Bellingham, Wash, confirms
the statement of Congressman Lind in
his recent interview, that Roosevelt is
sure to carry Washington, but that the
democratic candidate for governor is
likely to be elected in that state.
Judge Douglas says: s.I.
Roosevelt great popularity in
sures him large majority in the state
of Washington, where he will get many
democratic votes, but, on the other
hand, many republicans will vote for
Turner, the democratic candidate for
governor, and he is likely to be elect
ed. The. reasons universally assigned
for opposing Mr.. Mead, the republican
nominee, are the defeat of Governor
Mcbride for denomination by the Great
Northern Railway company, for having
stituted an action in behalf of the state
of Washington against the Northern
Securities company, and for the further
reason that he is an advocate of legis-
lation creating a railroad and ware
house commission with authority to
regulate railroad rates.

SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS
The, Years Work Will Begin on Mon
:-,-- day :.

The Minneapolis School of Fine Arts
will open it's twentieth school year on
Monday. Mr.. Koehler, the director, will
have the assistance Of d number Of able
instructors in The preparatory classes,
and the schoolais divided2 into two de-
partments, academic and practical de-
sign. The former will offer opportuni-
classes; as the painting classes are the
only ones which hold sessions in the
day time. Miss Ella Fillmore will be the
instructor in the preparatory antique
class. Miss Fillmore has been a student
in the school for a number of years and
has exceptional ability. AS heretofore,
the director will criticise classes on
ternoons, and on Tuesday and Friday
evenings. -
Mr.. .Koehler will also give his person
al attention to the work in the chill
dren s Saturday morning class, in
which there will be two or more assist
ants. This class has proved one of the
most important features of the school
pills receive their first systematic and
conscientious instruction in art. Many
students who have since distinguished
themselves have commenced their study
there. The class will open next Sat-
urday at am.
Miss Mary MoultOn Cheney continues
as principal in the department Of de-
sign. This department is steadily in
creasing in the number Of pupils and
crowded the space allotted to it last
year, 50 that it became necessary to
divide the class.
The management is anxiously looking
forward to the completion Of the new
wing Of the library building, which
would admit of proper expansion, for
the present accommodations are no long
er adequate. Mr.. Koehler insists that
the time has indeed come for the art
society to cast about for a building of
its own. Neither the society nor the
school is any longer an institution of
merely local interest, but both have
grown to be considered of some import
ance in the art world. In fact, efforts
are now being made to increase the
membership in the society, with a view
of enabling the board to provide addi-
tional advantages to the members as
we'll as to increase the efficiency. Of the
school. This school was not established
as business enterprise and is hardly
expected to become quite self-support-
ing. Tuition fees are therefore placed
very low, to be easily within the reach
of all. There are also several scholar
ships available every year, one of which
entities the holder to. a year s free tut

The cane rush at the university this
year will be under the direction of the
seniors. The sophs have manifested a
desire to catch the freshmen off guard
and defeat them in detail. The seniors
have interfered and announced that the
rush will be held on Tuesday and under
rigid supervision.
This will rob the rush Of it's spontan-
eous character and render it less pic
turesque. On the other hand. there are
several advantages. The fun strength
Of both classes Will be out, the umpiring
will be more strict and the events ar

encounters which were the usual after
math of the old haphazard rush.
