the committees from the commercial or

all the information and data possible to

quire." The resolution was adopted.
Country People Will Oppose.

Considerable discussion arose over a
resolution introduced by Secretary Tay-
lor, in support of proposed legislation
for the payment of special assessments
for improvements beneiiting railroad
property out of the proceeds of the four
per cent gross earnings tax 1t was
the general opinion that the country
people would oppose such a measure, as
it would turn over a large part of these
proceeds to the large cities, especially
st. Paul and Minneapolis, while the
country would suffer proportionately It
was also brought out that a measure
compelling the railway companies to
pay such assessments themselves would
be unconstitutional, as the constitution
provides the gross earnings tax in lieu
of all other taxes.
Senator Eberhart informed the board
that he is member of Il legislative
committee organized for the purpose OF
hearing complaints in regard to railroad
discrimination. He extended the invita-
tion to the board to present to the COM
mittee any facts or data in regard to the
matter. Now was the time to make
complaints.

denly at Santa Clara, CAL, Saturday

The Lake Crystal Union says:
''Mr. Erickson was one of the ear
liest settlers of Blue Earth county. He
came with his parents from Sweden in
1852 to Burlington, Iowa. In 1855 the
family moved to St Paul and later set
tied in Carver county, where they made
their home until 1868.
'At the age of eighteen Mr.. Erickson
enlisted in Company II, Ninth Minneso-
Ia Volunteers serving something over
three years in the civil war, being mus
tered out at the close of the war
shortly after, he with small par
lty homesteaded in Lincoln township.
Here he endured all the pIivations and
hardships of a pioneer. Mr.. Erickson
began life with empty hands, but lie
possessed the courage and hardiheod of
the pioneer Living in dugout for a
short time and spending winter in the
woods on the Blue Earth river, he thus
managed to secure enough lumber
through his labors to erect a small house
on the homestead. On March 26, 1859,
Mr.. Erickson was married to Louisa
johnson and in the little house recent

life they began as best they could the
making of home. On account of ad

the mortgage was at last lifted and bet

''Mr. Erickson was a charter member
of the Lincoln Baptist church in whose

TWO IMPORTANT MATTERS.
Council Has Paving and Hospital
Sewer Extension Before Ii.


The council will hold a regular meet
ing toight There IS little business before
it of a special nature unless it be the
come up is uncertain. The council
took no definite action on it at the last
meeting. From expressions of the in
diyidual aldermen, the majority seem to
be in favor of granting the petition for
brick paving, but the, city attorney adj
vises that before desisive action is tax
en- a profile of the property should be
made, to satisfy the bidders on the
bonds that hree-fourths of the prop-
erty TO be assessed is represented on the
petition. He believes, also, that the
matter should be referred to the board
OF public works under order No. /, be-
cause the law under which the petition
is brought does not prescribe any par
ticular method of procedure.
The board of public works feels that
! if it is intended to do any saving this
year the council should make UP its
mind at once as to what it wants and
take the necessary steps to get bids
without further delay, as number of
weeks will be consumed before a con
tract could be let and it would then be
time to commence work. The summer
season in this climate is none too long
for the completion of large contract
Another matter that will come up will
be that of extending the sewer and
water mains to Tourtellotte hospital. AS
the cost of this would be so great, there
is feeling in some quarters that il
would be better for the hospital to be
moved to some other site, where the
mains have already been extended, ol
where they can be extended without toe
great a burden on the property owners
1t is also pointed out that the hospi-
tai is located near the stone quarries
and that in a few years the quarIies
will surround the present site. The
blasting would interfere with the work
of the hospital as to seriously handi
cap it in acquiring patients.
