ADVISES REFUSAL OF II.
SHORT. WEIGHT OATS

Minnesota IS railroad and warehouse
commission is preparing to warn farm
ers and grain dealers Of the state
against the exaction by some grain
buyers of more than the legal bushel
weight for oats. Further, it gives no
tice that it will undertake to prosecute
any case where proper complaint is
made and supported by evidence that
such excessive weights are demanded.
The commission has ordered circular
printed and widely distributed calling
attention to the fact that in many
places grain buyers are taking 80 and
33 Id pounds to : the bushel, whereas
the legal weight for oats is 80 pounds,
and the taking Of any other weight,
unless by special contract, is a misde-
meanor. The circular says:
HSome buyers make the excuse it is
on account of dockage. This excuse is
not tenable because the extra weight
is taken from the farmer with clean
oats, as also from those with oats con-
tanning much dirt. Again, there is
no dockage on oats at the terminals.
HWe respectfully urge all grain deal
ers to buy all oats on a 32-pound bushel
basis Our advice to the farmer is,
to refuse at all time any prices to sell
at any other weight than SO pounds per
bushel. 80 .-'as

issue IS DRAWN
SHARPLY By MAYOR
HE WON'T SIGN CONTRACTS
AWARDED BY RESOLUTION.
His Position Is Announced in Connec-
tion with the Washington Avenue
1 Bridge Contracts and Clearly Indi-
Gates His Attitude Toward the Pend
ing Incandescent Gas Lighting Con-
tract.

Mayor David P. Jones has declined to
sign the contracts with Bayne & Hew-
EFT for the steel superstructure Of the
Washington avenue bridge, the con-
tracts for new fire apparatus, for cleo
trio lighting and for other work, on the
ground that the contracts were not
awarded by resolution as provided by
the charter.
It was announced in morning paper
that the mayor had signed these con-
tracts and it was pointed out that in
consequence the mayor was most incon-
sistent in objecting to the awarding Of
the incandescent lighting contract by
tion be by resolution. AS the con-
tracts had not even been presented to
his homer at the time he was alleged to
have signed them, the mayor thinks
that an effort is being made to discredit
him in the community.
The attitude Of the mayor with ref
erence to The letting of contracts has
provoked much general discussion and a
careful examination of the charter and
special acts and ordinances. It is adj
mitted on all sides that the method of
procedure is not clearly defined and a
request has been made to City Attor-
ney Frank Healy to prepare an ordi-
nance making specific and definite pro-
visions as to the entire course in re-
ceiving bids, reports by committees
and awarding and signing and execut-
ing contracts.

MINNEAPOLIS MAN A
VISITOR FROM YALE

Unusual local interest attaches to the
coming of the Yale Glee, Mandolin and
Banjo clubs to the Auditorium, the
evening of Dec. &c, because one Of it's
prominent members is a prominent
young man Of Minneapolis.
William D: Harris, eldest son of ". u:
Harris, president Of the New England
Furniture & Carpet company, is the
mandola player Of the Yale Mandolin
club, and is making the present tour
with the clubs. He is a graduate of
Douglas school and Of Shattuck Mill
tary academy, having attended the state
university a year or SO before going to
Yale, where he is now in his senior year:
Life his father young Mr.. Harris, is Of
diversified energy. In addition to play
ing the mandola he is somewhat addict
ed to the violin, goes in for athletics
and rowed stroke oar on the class crew.
In addition to all these activities he has
with faculty and cIassmaJes and is a
fine type Of young Americanism.

THE DAIRYMEN WEAKEN
TO CATTLE TEST
LAW COMES FROM STRONGHOLD
OF DEFIANT MILKMEN.

Some Of the country milk shippers,
surrendering to the inevitable, have
made arrangements to have their cattle
inspected as required by the city OF
Minneapolis, but the majority are still
defiant. ..
Between the threats Of the health
department to confscate all milk from
uninspected diaries and the refusal Of
the local creameries to renew con-
tracts until the dairies have been in
etected, the shippers cannot long hold
cut.
One of the largest restaurant propri-
etors in the city demanded today that
only milk from inspected cattle be sup.
piled by the creamery with which he
does business. The creamery man was
placed in predicament, but solved it
by placing larger orders with local
diaries. Other restaurants and the hotels
will doubtless take the same course, as
public sentiment is strongly against the
use Of milk from uninspected cattle.
Application for the inspection OF 400
COWS near Monticello has been made
and some dairymen near Faribault have
also signifed their willingness to CON
form to the law. This was in the hot
bed of the opposition.
Local authorities purpose to amend
the present ordinances SO as to make 1t
little stronger and then the country
shipper who does not comply with the
ordinance will be hopelessly at the
mercy Of the local officials.

COAL BoTHERs RAILROADS
Country Dealers Always Put OFF Buy
ing Till Last Moment.

The problem Of the railroads just now
is how to get coal to the country deal
ers. For various reasons these yard
men put off buying coal until it is act
ually needed, and then every year there
follows a congestion and complaint be-
cause coal cannot be secured on the dot.
The chief reason is the desire to save
the expense Of handling the fuel more
than once. Dealers would prefer to de-
liver from the track than to handle the
coal into bins and then out. The Rock
Island and other lines report that the
difficulty is being overcome. The grain
situation having been handled pretty
successfully, cars are becoming avail.

CALYE SADDEST OF ALL
PRINA DONNA'S DISAPPoINT-
MENT AT HER INABILITY TO
SING EXCEEDS HER AUDITORS.

!, Calve was as keenly disappointed
that she could not sing last night as
was the audience at the Auditorium.
It was a straight case of absolute or
ders from physicians. and in graciously
appearing on the platform to satisfy her
manager, and the audience, Calve went
some danger. Had she attempted
csong last night it might have irretriev-
ably ruined a magnificent voice-in fact
Nine. Calves fortune. Had Calve not
sung at St. Paul Monday, undoubtedly
she would have been able to take her
part last night in Minneapolis. Instead
turn for the better, the reverse was
true, resulting in a temporary relin-
quishment Of the singers bookings.
Tonight Calve will leave for Hot
Springs, Ark. On Jan. she will begin
her. return engagement, singing at Chi
cago, and on an. in Minneapolis. At

Salt Lake Jan. IL, and will then begin

up today. He is rearranging dates which

admits that Calve, while goddess Of
song, is also human enough to be SUBJ
iect to the orders Of mere doctor. :
When the unexpected turn in the
diva,s condition manifested itself, DR..
Frank G.. Todd was consulted. Mr..
Weaver says it didn It take the special
list half a minute to issue his ultimatum
as to the prima donna's singing last
night.
Many, took advantage today of tn
offer Of the management to refund
money on the tickets, or to exchange
the coupons without cost for the Jan.

famous Carmen will have a larger audi
