UN KNOWN PHILANTHROPIST
GIVES MUCH-APPRECIATE AID
TO ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

to pay all the expenses Of an addition
al visiting nurse for the Associated
Charities sick relief work. The an
nual expense will be $500, and this
amount. is guaranteed by the unknown

not sufficient to meet the additional ex-
pense. The estimated cost Of the Wis:
iting nurse work for the coming year
is $1,000, inclusive Of the recent dona-
ton. ,$ss.e s-sg. III

evening to receive the annual report of
Miss Marie R. James, the head nurse.

hundred and forty calls have been
made, an average Of lab for each

QUITS HIS POST
VETERAN SECRETARY OF CHAM
Der OF COMMERCE. RESIGNS.
He Will Become General Counsel of the
Chamber and L. T. famine, Now AS
sistant Secretary, VIII Become Sec
rotary Colonel Rogers Was First
Mover for Organization.

- The most important administrative
change in Chamber of Commerce affairs
in a quarter century took place today
when Colonel George D. Rogers, the
veteran secretary Of the organization,
laid down the arduous duties Of his
office. Colonel Rogers, whose expe-
rience in chamber affairs is wider than
that of any other member, who has an
invaluable knowledge of all grain trade
questionsf gained by long service, and
familiarity with legal questions COW
ering the trade, will become general
counsel Of the chamber. L.. T. Jamme,
now assistant secretary, will take up
the duties of the higher office.
Colonel Rogers was the first mover
for the organization of the chamber,
starting the work in 1880. At that time
the Millers' association bought all the
wheat coming in here, and the Board
OF Trade, an organization devoted to
the advancement Of Minneapolis, but
not commercial trading body, was in
existence. The Chamber of Commerce
was incorporated in 1881. H. G. Har-
rison was first president, A. D. Milford
and A. B. Taylor were vice presidents,
L. j. Buxton treasurer, and G. D. Rog-
ers secretary. Fourteen presidents
have been in office since that time, but
Colonel Rogers has held the secretary
ship turnout, except for brief period
Just prior to. 1891, when pressure of
work as newspaper man and private
business compelled him to relinquish it,
Both Colonel Rogers and Mr.. Jamme
were the recipients Of many congratulate
lions today over their promotion.

FREIGHT CARS In
WAY NO LONGER
ST. LOUIS ROAD WILL PUT PAS
sENGER TRACKS ON. OUTSIDE.
Passengers Can Obtain Unobstructed
View of the Parade and Fine Resi-
dences on Lowry Hill-Park Board
Acquires Old Trainor Stone Quarry
and Land on River Bank.

In order to give its passengers a
glimpse of the beauties Of the Parade
and panoramic view of the fine resi-
dences on Lowry Hill, the Minneapolis
st. Louis railway will rearrange its
trackage in the Bryn Mawr district 50
that the passenger-train tracks will oc-
cupy the outside Of the right Of way.
To carry out the plan, the company will
need strip Of land now controlled by
the. park board, and this strip, in ac-
cordance with a resolution of the board
passed at yesterday IS meeting, will be
decided to the railway as soon as the
instruments can be prepared. The con-
slderation has not been figured out, but
the company will pay what the land
cost the city.
Under the present arrangement the
freight tracks occupy the extreme out
side OF the right Of way, and as the
tracks are usually filed with freight
cars, passengers are shut out from view
of an attractive part Of the city. The
park commissioners were glad to meet
the wishes Of the railway, especially as
SO much thoughtfulness on the part Of
railway officials for the esthetic mat
tiers of life was considered somewhat
unusual. F9 .@
Another important action taken was
to condemn the old Trainor stone quar-
ry at the foot Of Church and Union
streets Sc and adjoining st. Anthony
parkway, where it dips over the bluff
south Of the Washington avenue bridge.
The acquisition of the old quarry has
long been desired by the. park commits
sioners; and the residents Of Southeast
Minneapolis, as it can be made an at
tractive feature in the driveway. The
condemnation commissioners are Les
ter B. Elwood, Stanley T. Staring, P.
G. Dening, R. D. Gone and Thomas
Downs, and they will begin their work
as. soon as the usual formalities have
been complied with. ~
| {, For Riverside Parkway.
| Instructions were given to G. J.
lockwood, attorney for the board, to
prepare a bill by congress authorizing
a deed Of a bit Of land desired by the
park board for completing Riverside
parkway. It is triangular bit of
land at the foot of Twenty ninth street
s., and containing .85 of an acre. It
is not needed by the government, but
will enable the park board to run the
proposed parkway along the crest of
the bluff. In exchange the park board
will grant the government fowage
rights to some land below the Lake
street bridge which was not secured
In carrying out it's plans for beauti-
flying the west river bank between
Franklin avenue and Lake street, the
park board will ask the city council to
vacate Riverside avenue from Twenty
seventh to Twenty ninth streets, CIV
ing in return what land is necessary
Efor street purposes to carry the traffic
Ito Dorman avenue, which runs parallel
to Riverside avenue. -.
