BUILDING PLANNED BY
MINNEAPOLIS PAPER co,

Final negotiations for the Mcknight
corner at Fifth street and Fourth ave
nue. s have been closed by Edwin
apolis Paper company. The lot has a
66-foot frontage and a depth of 165
feet. simultaneously comes the an
nouncement of an increase in the cap
ital Of the close corporation from $780,
900 to $150,000, providing for the cree
tion of four or fve-story building to
cost about $4,000 and for an increase
in the business. Hitherto the company
has confined itself mainly in it's thirteen
years history to city business, altho
it has had a good trade outside. A full
force of travelling men will be put on
the road to get outside business.
It has been decided to make the
building of reinforced concrete after
plans by Bertrand & Chamberlin. Pre-
cautions will be used to insure a gooc
iload-carrying capacity. The office, or
the ground floor will have thirteen feet
headroom and on the other floors the
ceilings will have height of about
eleven feet.

ANOTHER FIRE STARTED
IN LUMBER DISTRICT

Suspicious of the officials of the fire
department that frebugs have been at
work in the sawmill district were
strengthened yesterday morning, when
a blaze was discovered in the Itasca
mill, at Twenty-seventh avenue N and
the river.
The fire started under the log plat
form, but the sprinkler system kept the
flames from spreading until the depart
ment arrived. The loss by fire was
small, as the flames were soon out, but
some Of the expensive machinery was
damaged by water.
The department has answered dozen
calls in the lumber district, and the pc.
lice have been asked to keep a sharp
lookout for suspicious persons.

THE BLESSEDNESS
OF GIVING.

1T SURELY is not sacrilegious to
! apply commercially the old scrip
tural adage that TT is more blessed
to give than to receive0: the giving
of oneself, of ones talents, Of ones
advantages and capacity for useful
ness; this is all blessed
Lots of folks don't take half
enough satisfaction in realizing that,
in making success Of their bust
ness; in providing employment for
others, and in lending their influence
to the maintenance of ideal home
life, they are really doing great mis-
sionary work. Philanthropy ("pub-
ic-spirit' is a better word) and
business don't mix, they say-that s
misstatement: they can be made
to mix. The best gift one can pos,
sibly make is himself; and one of
the richest gifts showered on the
City Of Minneapolis is it's enterpris
ing and high-grade merchants. Nc

THE JOY OF
RECEIVING

WE ARE all, in the last analysis,
w debtors. No use talking, we
are all under obligations-some more
pronounced than others-obligations
for health, obligations for habits and
character; few for inherited
wealth, the fruit more likely than
not of years of toll and sacrifice on
the part Of others. We might as
well acknowledge 1.-THE best we
can do is to develop ourselves and
the equipment with which we have.
been favored.
So let's agree that it is not I'M.
manly or unwomanly to accept ia
vors. Rather, be grateful for them,
and evidence by our acts and conduct
our appreciation therefor. To our
minds, it IS something to be profound
ly grateful for that we live in glor-
ious Minnesota, with its bracing eli
mate and whole-souled, enterprising
men and women, and it's perfectly
right that we should felicitate our
selves on the advantages at our COM
mand-among other things, the ia
cilities for Home Furnishing pro-
vided by such establishments as the

MAY DRAIN SWAMPs
Mosquito Breeding Places Near SnellIr
Objected to-

Congressman F.. c.. Stevens, General
c. c. c. Carr and officers at Fort Shell
ing have made a thoro inspection of the
swamps on the government property, and
will recommend that every effort be made
to have them drained. The swamps are
rampant with hungry. vicious mosquitoes
and gnats which have made life at the
barracks almost uncomfortable. One
swamp beyond the officers quarters is
caused by the fitting Of the sandstone
strata away from the Mississippi, and the
one in the rear of the soldiers barracks
at the foot of the bluff is supplied with
water at seasons when the river Is FULL
and never dries up entirely.
The proposed street car line to st. Paul
will cut thru the old post cemetery. The
committee on investigation deem it ad.
visable that the bodies be removed and
buried in the regular post cemetery.

ICE Is NO HIGHER

Dealers Decide Not to Advance Prices
This Summer.
Ice prices will not be increased this
year, altho the dealers were disposed to
turn them up little because of the un-
usually high quality of their wares. They
say that they never have had such q
fine article, the conditions in winter hav-
ing been perfect for the formation Of clear
and firm ice. The retail prices will be as
follows: Twenty-Five pounds daily at the

WILL WRIT TELL
WHAT HE K.NOWS?.
FRIEND OF KALDERWIT HELD BY
POLICE.
Man Arrested for Burglary Is an Old
"Pal" of Columbia Heights Trio, and
Is Thought to Know Something About
the Affair-Fourth Man Theory Re-
vived.

Fred Writ, arrested by the police on
a charge of grand larceny, may play an
Important part in the trial Of Kalder-
wit, Kolb and Harmon at Anoka, for
the murder Of Freddie King.
Writ was arrested by accident last
night, altho the police have been look
ing for him for several months, and to-
day, according to the officers, he is
either shamming insanity to avoid trou-
BILE or is mentally wrong. They are in
clined to believe that he is shamming.
Patrolman Nels Nelson arrested the
man last night, while he was trying to
dlspose OF some property stolen from a
flat at 803 Third avenue S. Nelson
promptly took him to police headquar-
tiers on suspicion and later in the even
ing the goods were identified.
There it was also discovered that
Wirtz was the man with whom Kalder-
wit said he played cards on the night Of
the murder. -.
Inc suspect is known to have been
intimate with the members Of the trio,
and when Kalderwit was placed in the
sweatbox few days after the murder
he said that he had played cards all the
evening with man named Writ. At
that time Wirtz could not be found, but
the police say that the fat robber is the
man. @
Either Foolish or shamming.
| When he was placed in the sweatbox
today little could be obtained from him
tie acted like a demented person, and
would make foolish answers to all ques.
lions put to him. The look in his eyes
however, leads the police to think that
ne knows more than he is telling. He
does not look like a demented person
and even the foolish answers are wei
thought over.
The arrest of Wirtz and his apparent
wish to avoid questions on the Colum
bia Heights question brings to mind tn,
statement Of Mrs. Fred Mingo, who saw
the robbers running down the road afte
the murder was committed, and counted
four of them. Her story was scoute,
by some and others thought the fourt]
person was one of the first pursuers VIII,
took after the trio. It is now though
that there might have been a fourt]
man on watch and that Writ may know
something Of him. The police are pos
tive that .Wirtz knows something of tn
, trio 8 actions that night, and they vii
not give " until he tells it. .

The boys said it would be the biggest
picnic that ever was-a regular barbe
cue. The boss canvasman said ne was
opposed to mixing religion with the
circus business, because the fellows
could get all the religion they needed
in the winter, when the show was laid
up and he would see the boys through
in anything they proposed to do to the
sky pilot that was going to play his
game in ring No. at 1920 the next
day.
Well, after I heard the circus men
talk about what they would do to the
preacher, was afraid they would kill
him, so when he and a helper brought
little melodeon into the ring, facing
the reserved seats, told him the boys
were going to raise a rurapus and drive
him out of the tent with the bulldog
hanging to his coat tails. He put his
hand on his pistol pocket and pulled
long, blue gun about half way out,
and let it drop back down beside his
leg, and he winked at me and said he
