IMPROVEMENT OF
HIAWATHA AVE.
NEW ROAD TO FORT SMELLING
UNDER WAY.
Good Roads Association Not Wholly
Pleased with the Plans Of the
Builders, as 1t Interferes with Their
Scheme Of Finance.

E. r. Dutton assistant city en-
gineer has begun work on the i'm
provement Of Hiawatha avenue,
which is destined to be the principal
highway between Minneapolis and
Fort Smelling. The money will be
fund of $4,000, Hiawatha avenue
being one of the thorofares which the
Hennepin County Good Roads assoc
citation desired to have improved.
The council set apart $4,000 for this
avenue and it Is understood that so
much will be required for grading the
street that there will be scarcely any
for macadamizing or graveling.
This is wholly contrary to the plans OF
the good roads people, as their idea
was that all the streets included in
their recommendation should be
graded in the usual way, the expense
beng borne out of the ward funds,
leaving the good roads fund for
matchmaking or graveling.
There has been some talk in the
association Of instituting proceedings
to compel what they regard as a
proper expenditure Of the appropria-
ton. Several members object, argu-
ing that it is no affair of the associa-
ton. If the association asks that
100000 be spent on certain highways
and the council spends 100000, 1t
Will NC GIL tile OeIIei Aoi Liz toe.o0'
While it was understood that the
fund was to be used only for some
form Of macadamiZing, the resolution
appropriating the money, simply spe-
cities that it shall be used for i'm
proving" certain streets. Certainly
grading is part Of the Improvement OF
any street, argue the people who are
opposed to an injunction.
On the other hand, it is feared that
the aldermanic grab tactics will not
find favor among the members of the
board of tax levy, as the plan is con-
trary to the understanding Of the tax
LEVERS and there is danger that they
will bar the way for any further ap.
preparations, as there is no assurance
that the council will not spend the
money in a manner not contemplated
by the board.

In any human undertaking the man
who is prepared" is the man who is
successful in his efforts. Statesmen
have become great because at some
great speech or a great policy. Their
preparations won them success.
Especially does a man owe it to
himself to be prepared against sick

health carefully and takes proper pre-
cautions, rarely falls victim to dis

EASTERN SPECULATORS
FALL DOWN ON CORN
Drop a Million Trying to Contror
Market - Hill Among the
Losers.

Chicago, Oct. Over $1,000, 900 was
the cost yesterday of the mistake OF
Wall street spectators attempting to
control the corn market, and they are
likely to lose much more. The price
yesterday dropped pa cents a bushel.
The wisest spectators of Gotham, in
Guiding James J. Hill and James r.
Keene, have been caught on the Chi
cago board of trade
Hill, Keane & Co. gathered 10000
900 bushels of corn, principally May,
on reports that the crop was seriously
damaged by frOsts. These reports by
their experts have proved very false.
and they have already lost fully 5
cents bushel by the slump in prices.
The play to recOup on their losses on
May corn will be an attempt to bluff
smaller spectators who are short on
the December product and drive them
in. The crop on early frost reports
was estimated at 1875 900. 900 bushels.
Now the consensus of opinion places it
at 100000, 900 bushels. The men who
profit by the slump are country specu-
lators. owners of elevators and ware
houses or corn fields, who knew the
real condition from the first.

German Ambassador Brings Greeting
From the Kaiser.

st. Louis, Mo, Oct. 7.-One of the
largest gatherings that has character
lied the worlds fair was the celebra>

principal visitor was Baron Speck Won
SteTnberg, German ambassador to
America. who bore a greeting which
had been received by cable from En-
peror William conveying his imperial
congratulations to the citizens of
America on the national celebration
of a German day.
Another distinguished visitor was
Carl Schurz. of New York, who deliv-
cred an address in which he placed
particular emphasis upon the fact that
Germany values most highly the
friendship of the United States and
that long current rumors of possible
friction between the two nations are
simply canards conceived by unprin-
cipled agitatOrs.
