Mr.. Coley told them OF the business
diverted from their road at this point
and was told that the road had pre-
pared plans for new depot here TO
cost $4,000. Some official red tape Is
necessary before construction begins.
A splendid plan that will receive
the cooperatioaof all our citizens who
are not ''hold-backs, was proposed. II
was decided 20 sink a well for gas or
oil, or beth. and to pay no attention

TO bore down and find out II we have

that each Of the hundred members Of
the club give sl0, and to canvass the
town for another hundred gentlemen
who will give a like sum. Lee Bar

BIG SINKING FUND
BOARD OF SINKING FUND COM
M1ss1oNERs SUBMIT THEIR AN
NUAL REPORT THRU CONTROL
LER JOSHUA ROGERS.

Minneapolis has more than 100000
in her sinking fund or almost 25 per
cent of her bonded indebtedness, and
this fact the members OF the board OF
sinking fund commissioners think sat-
isfactory condition.
The annual report on the sinking
fund was submitted to the council COM
mittee on ways and means this after
noon by City Controller Joshua Rogers.
| 1t shows that the receipts Of the fund
for the year 1904 were $l76,579, derived
from the following sources: Interest
on city bonds, $51 ,925; interest on
other bonds, 1891; interest on
daily balances, $377; interest on board
of education note, $500; taxation,
$105,536. No bonds became due during
the past year and the only disburse-
ments were $7,482 as premiums on
bonds purchased and 81 1872, as accrued
interest on bonds purchased.
The sinking fund contains $1,000, 1857
invested as follows: City Of Mime
'apolis bonds, $1,515,000; Minnesota
school district and other bonds. $46l,-
ITO; cash in Swedish-American Nation
al bank, $4,000. The outstanding
bonds Of the city aggregate Sc, 434, 900
bonds Of the city aggregate 9,434, OO0.
Only $4,000 are payable before 1913,
when a block Of nearly 81 700, 900 becomes
due. Mr.. Rogers says that if the sink
ing fund is cared for as judiciously IN
the future as it has been In the past,
the CITY will be able to meet It's obi.
cations as they become due without aid
from other sources, such as refundlng
bonds or extra taxes.

SAYS MONEY ALL
GOES FOR BRIDGES
HOAG INTIMATEs THAT BRIDGE
INTERESTS ARE SELFISH.
Before Conference Of Legislators and
Good Roads Promoters, He Deplores
the Coupling of Roads and Bridges in
the Same Appropriations
ton Is Discussed

"For years the state road and bridge
bridge interests Of the state, declared
Professor w. r. Hoag, at the state good
roads conference this morning.
g. It is to this fact,'' continued the
professor, "that we must attribute the
little progress that the good roads
movement has made in this state.'s
Mr.. Hoag's words did not make the
sensation that nigh the expected, for
most of those attending appeared to be
OF the same mind. -.. ..-~- ~. !.
The conference at the Commercial
club was attended by the most devoted
workers.
The entire day after the election Of
George W. Cooley as chairman and G..
A. Will as secretary was given over to
a. discussion Of legislation and state
aid.
There was wide divergence Of opin-
ion as to the manner of administering
the road and bridge fund. Many want
to see not only the general supervision
of road building, but the distribution
of the funds in the control Of gen:
eral highway commission. It is argued
that only by systematic and uniform
work controlled by central authority
can there there be any consistent work
and proper economy.
Representative from the rural sec
tions resent the intimation that they
do not know how to build roads and ap
pear to think that the highway com
mission would spend the road ano
bridge fund entirely as the city repre-
sentatives desire. They are distinctly
in favor Of a division of the road anC
bridge fund among the counties.

RAPS AT OLAPP
Fine Line of Sarcasm Directed at Head
Of Senator.

of Senator.
J. o. Applegate, editor of the Can
non Falls Beacon, who has been leading
the campaign against Senator Clapp on
the railway-rate issue, goes after the
senator's recent declaration on the
question in the last issuc his paper,
which goes to all memb, the legis-
lature. He shows himself llc possessor
Of remarkably good vein Of sarcasm.
His editorial says in part:
AT the lannon's mouth Senator Clapp
has given out an interview that bears a
close family resemblance to his now ia
nous letter to the Beacon dated Oct, 10.
Driven into a corner by the activity Of
Governor Van SAINT, the declaration Of
Judge Glfllan and the presidents mes
sage, Mr.. Clapp finally admits that he is
really responsible for all that has been
done in law making along the desired lines
for years.
The senator has only restrained himself
from bursting forth on this question by
his self crificing desire to not anticipate
the presidents message.
Of. course the message would have fallen
very flat indeed had Senator Clapp given
vent to his long, pent-up feelings on this
question Of railroad control. The senator
| again refers in glittering generalites to
his record on this subject. The only pos
! sible trace Of what might be called such
| record is the Elkins law which was sc
satisfactory to the railroad lawyers that
no fight was made against it. 1t was
for their own protection.

THEUNZVERSITY
"FRESHIES' ARE CONFIDENT
Would Meet the Sophomores in the Ath-
letic Arena. h.

The members of the freshman class
have challenged their sophomore rivals
to an indoor athletic meet to be supple
mented with gymnastic games and
sports. Since the preliminary cane
rush in which the freshmen were the
victors, there has been disposition
among the underclassmen to ignore the
traditions Of freshman sophomore
rivalry and there has been no trouble.
No challenge was issued to the fresh
man for the usual formal cane rush and
for the first time in years this event
failed to materialize.
The freshmen are said to have issued
the challenge for an indoor meet, believ-
ing that the sophomores will refuse to
accept. Should the challenge be &C.
cepted, the event will take place in the
university armory under the auspices of
upper classmen.

CLAPP men TRY
TO CLOSE IT UP.
NAMES BEING SECURED FOR AN
IRONCLAD CAUCUS PLEDGE.
They Are Not Secured as Readily as
Manager Had Expected-Members in
no Hurry to Commit Themselves to
Any Candidate-Hiu Interview Used
by the Opposition.

Senator Clapp's managers are max
ing supreme effort to close up the sen
atorial contest, realizing that delay is
dangerous.
Members thought to be friendly are
being urged to put their names to a
pledge, binding them to vote for Clapn
in the caucus from first to last. The
object is to get eighty-one signatures,
a majority Of the caucus, and then make
"show down.
The list is filing up slowly. Those
in charge have not been as successful
as the yhad hoped, and they are long
way from the 81. They have met with
refusals in unexpected quarters, and
pleas for delay in others. This unwil-
1ingness to tie up to the senator is a
bafometer> Indication of senatorial
squalls the first week in January.
/. There was conference of members
opposed to Clapp yesterday afternoon
in room at the Ryan. 1t was secret
and every precaution was taken to keep
it so. Plans Of campaign were dis
cussed.
- Gossip on Hill Interview.
There was considerable comment to-
day on the interview given out BY
James j. Hill declaring against the
proposed extension Of the interstate
commerce act. The anti-Clapp leaders
were saying that this accounted fol
the senator's unwillingness to pledge
support to the Cooper bill.
