PINE ON WASTE LAND
Fire Warden Advises Farmers
In Annual Report

Chief Fire Warden c. C. Andrews
will strongly recommend the reclama-
ton of waste land on farms by plant
ing pine, in his annual report, which Is
now in the course OF preparation
There are 10000 farms In Mime
sofa having an average of five acres OF
waste land EACH" said Mr.. Andrews
yesterday. "In my forthcoming report
will make a special feature of rec
concentration to farmers to plant pine
on this land. This done the farm
would not only be beautif1ed, but the
small forest thus created would be an
effectual windbreak, and in the course
OF forty years would have a distinct
commercial value. My report will con-
tain complete manual of pine tree
raising"
Mr.. Andrews said yesterday regard
ling the forest fires in the state last
year:
There were considerably less forest
fires in the state last year as COM
pared with the year previous. The av-
erage annual damage done by forest
and prairie fires during the last ten
years amounted to $4,000. The dam
age done last year was several thou
sand dollars less than that.
Mr.. Andrews is preparing a new edi-
ton of warning notices, printed on
linen, to be posted in forest and prairie
districts of the state, warning persons
against starting fires in timber or on
prairies. About 10000 will be printed,
5000 of which will be delivered to rail-
road companies to be posted on their
premises all over the state. The re-
mainder will be sent to chairmen of or
ganized township boards and to deputy
fire wardens to be posted in their ter
ritOrieS.

DIFFER AS TO DEBT
Produce Exchange Trouble Is
Aired in Court

The trial of the case Of John j.
Thomson VS.. Henry A Ertz took up
the entire day with a jury in Judge
Hallam's division OF the district court
yesterday. The case was started last
week, and is one In which Thomson
seeks to secure damages from the de-
PENDANT Ertz in the sum of $4,000. Ertz
is member Of the st. Paul Produce
Exchange, and Thomson was until a
few weeks ago, when he was black
listed, because his name was posted by
Ertz for nonpayment of debts.
Ertz in his defense testified that he
was obliged to report Thomssen be-
cause the latter owes him $18.55, and in
a counter claim In the present suit he
asks judgment in that amount. Thoms-
sen contends that he only owes Ertz
1920 and that he has frequently offered
to pay that amount. but that payment
has always been refused. He con-
tends that he was damaged in the
amount of $4,000 through the loss of
membership in the exchange. The
case will probably go to the jury this
morning.

MAKtSLAW CLEARER
Young Straightens Out School
District Bond TangIe

An apparent conflict of laws affect
ing school loans and OF vital inpor-
lance to school districts was the sub
ject of an opinion handed down by
Atty. Gen. Young yesterday, at the re-
quest of State Auditor Iverson.
The information asked for was
whether a majority of the votes cast
at a meeting Of school trustees was
sufficient to authorize the issuance of
bonds to secure a loan, or whether
a two-thirds vote was necessary; for
what period such bonds so issued
could run, and If the notice calling the
election must be published in a local
newspaper, or if it were sufficient to
post the notice at three places in the
district. Atty. Gen. Young's opinion
was as follows:
These loans are made under chapter SO,
Laws of 1897. as amended, and great
deal of confusion has been created by a
custom which has grown up requiring
school districts applying for such loans
old school bond law as well as the pro-
visions of this act. / can see no good
reason for continuing this practice. In
my opinion this act Is distinct from any
by school districts, and Is complete in
itself. Section of that act prescribes
the form of resolution to be voted upon,
and provides that the ballots used shall be
''for bonds or against bonds" and II
majority of the votes cast shall be in IA
vor thereof the resolution shall be con-
sidered adopted
This act agreed WITH the constitutional
limitation in providing the period for
which the bonds shall run, and in my
opinion entirely supercedes section $685.
General Statutes 1894. so far as loans from
the state are concerned.
1 am therefore Of the opinion that the
first question above stated should be an
Swered in the affirmative.
Answering the second question 1 would
say that the bonds should run for not
less than five nor more than twenty years
The third question / would answer in
the negative; the meeting should be called
the same as any other special meeting in
q common school district.

SOUTH ST. PAUL TO
CONTINUE STRUGGLE
Council viii Present Another
Franchise to Street
Railway

The matter of the st. Paul street
railway company franchise was con-
sidered again last night at meeting
OF the city council of South st. Paul.
P. HI. O'Keefe. city attorney. stated
that he had secured information to the
effect that the street railway company
intended to build line from st. Paul
to Winona and for that reason was
attempting to secure a right of way
through South st. Paul. He also said
that he understood that unless the
council granted the company the fran
chise on it's own terms the road would
be built skirting the city limits.
Mayor Lyle advised holding out
until such time when the company &C
ceded to the councils demands for a
gross earnings clause in the franchise
and loop on the hill. He stated that
the motor service accommodated 5000
each day and that the street car COM
pany to secure this would grant some
concessions. He pointed out that the
present deadlock would not last long,
as after June the council would be
unable to grant a franchise for a term
of more than twenty-five years, where
as at present the franchise could be
granted to run thirty-four years. The
additional nine years. he said. would
be more valuable to the company than
any preceding fifteen.
The council instructed the city attor-
ney to draw up a franchise embodying
all of the city's demands, and this will
be presented to the street railway COM
pany's representatives for approval and
acceptance at the next joint meeting
of the representatives and the council.
The company came before the council
with franchise of its own which 1t
has refused to alter or amend since 1t
was first presented.
A contract for grading Maria avenue
was awarded to Gray & Co., of Mime
apolis, by the council last night. 1t
calls for an expenditure of $500.

and the three children to her mothers
home in WATERFOWL and told her not
to return until she could bring with
her $3.50 from her mother. When she
returned she had evidently given up
