and book publisher of Christiania,
Norway, arrived in st. Paul yesterday
with the intention of making a tour of
the Northwest. His chief purpose in
coming to America is to visit Mime
sofa and gather material for a series of
articles for his paper on the resources
OF this state and the possibilities which
1t offers to immigrants.
Although but newly arrived in Min

L e e o that he has already been
greatly impressed by the vastness of
this country and the magnificent scale
upon which its enterprises are con-
Quoted. Comparing conditions here and
IN his own country, he said that land
values here, even in the most desirable
localities, are much less than in Nor
way, and the income vastly greater. In
Norway, he said, ten or fifteen acres
IS considered large farm, and the
owner.

FORMED no adequate comprehension of
what he was to- see. No flight of his
fancy had pictured the broad expanse
OF tlIIabie land that he had passed

PROPERTY OWNERS
STRONGLY PROTEST
Say Proposed Price for Land
for Mississippi River BOuIe-
ward IS Robbery.

''Hold-up" and highway robbery"
were some of the epithets used by own
ers of property along the proposed Mis-
sissippi river boulevard at the hearing
before the board Of public works on the
condemnation of the land necessary for
the project yesterday afternoon.
The plan on which the board is work.
ing is to secure the needed ninety-fve
acres of land along the bluff and ex-
tending to the river bank between Fort
Smelling bridge and Watson street.
The first section of the boulevard,
reaching as far as Watson street, has
already been condemned The board
proposed to pay $3.50 per acre, or $15,-
500 for the land necessary to complete
the boulevard.
Want More for Their Land.
Gas the park board has not the nee
essary funds to pay the expenses of the
Improvement, the money will have to
be raised by assessing adjoining prop
erty owners said President erode. OF
the board of public works, yesterday.
I'VE have not got that far yet the
hearing today being devoted only to
listening to the protests of the owners
of the land that will be taken"

ceivtng only $3.50 per acre, contendng
that they should be given more, one
demanding as high as $500 per acre.

CONSIDERS CHANGES
IN BUILDING CODE
Public Safety Committee Pro-
poses Regulations to Pro-
tect Playhouse Patrons.

Managers of the st. Paul theaters
raised a strong protest before the coun-
Gil committee on public safety yester-
day afternoon against an amendment
to the building code providing that no
standing room shall be allowed in the
aisles or passageways Of any of the
playhouses.
Manager Scott of the Metropolitan,
asked to have the provision modified
by allowing the theaters to stand 100
in cases of emergency, but City En-
gineer RundIett, who drafted the
amendment, pointed out that no city in
the United States permits even a linn
tied number Mr.. Scott declared that
while in some cities, notably New York,
the law prohibits standing room, the
building inspector or other city author
tiles having the enforcement of the law
in charge permits the theaters a rea-
sonable latitude. Mr.. Rundlett ex-
pressed doubts as to whether this was
done, and offered to wager Mr.. Scott
a box Of cigars on the question. The
bet was accepted. The amendment
was finally passed, but the members of
the committee authorized the city en-
gineer to give the theaters permission
.
emphasizing, however, the prohibition
that no one shall be allowed to stand
in the aisles.
Protest Against Diagram.
Another protest was made against
the proposed regulation by Mr.. Rund-
lett requiring the theaters to print on
each official programme a plan of the
house, together with directions to the
audience as to which exit to use in case
of fire. Mr.. Scott and Manager Hays,
of the Grand, said the enforcement of
the regulation would be an injustice to
them.
''The printing of this diagram would
mean loss Of $50 each month in ad-.
vertising space to u.s." said Mr.. Hays,
land it is doubtful whether it would
be of value to the public"
Mr.. Rundlett maintained that the
amendment should be adopted, and ar
gued that the diagram would be Of
service. The amendment was laid over
to an adjourned meeting, which will
be held next Tuesday afternoon.
Amendment adopted yesterday pro-
vide for several new regulations, none
Of which will require extensive changes
