Is It a Case of Dust?

The private car line refrigerator bust
ness of the country is now under inves-
tigation by the interstate commerce,
commission. The inquiry has been in
progress since the commission unearthed
such a good lead in the Michigan fruit
cases, and may continue up to the
meeting of congress, when there will
be something to report regarding the
workings Of this branch of the rail
road business, which is not a common
carrier and which is not amenable to
the law.
The situation in the southwest is
said to be similar to that developed
in Michigan, where the commission in
duced the railroads to give up contracts
for icing which were unreasonable and
to treat the public decently The pur-
pose Of the present inquiry is<to enable
the commission to present a. detailed
statement Of the workings Of private
car lines the country over.
There's are already divergent views Of
the value of private-car line inquiry.
One is that il. is a blind by the rail
roads to get congress and the public
off the main question Of clothing the
commission with power to make rates.
There does not seem to be any legiti-
mate basis for such a suspicion. The
private car line question is an integral
part of the railroad rate problem. This
much has been learned since the last

Paving work has been delayed by

Wood Pavings.

The revival of the popularity of
wood paving has attracted the atten-
tion of the federal forest service 1t
is interested to learn to what extent
the revival is likely to go and what
kinds Of wood are likely to be called
for. This is an important question for
the forest service, as it is already taxed
to the. utmost of it's activity to save
the forests from destruction by rail
roads and building operations. A re-
turn to wood paving might prove the
last straw unless the service can in
form itself in advance where and when
to expect the attack. . r.
Few people have any conception of
the amount of money expended in paw.
ing the streets Of cities. The amount
already so invested is estimated at a
little more than half "a billion dollars
subject at all but knows that city paw.
ing has merely made beginning.
Seventy-fve years ago the country
began experimenting with wood paw
ing, and after decade or more aban
doned it because of defects which made
it intolerable. Engineering science has
just begun to demonstrate that nearly
all of these objections were in the
method of doing the work and few Of
them in the material itself. There has
been a constant demand for wood paw
ing. if it could be had, because of it,
comparative noiselessness, and now tha
it is shown that it can be laid on t.;
foundation and made to do any service
which the hardest and loudest ston,
can accomplish, there is revulsion to
ward wood which is carrying the lar
ger cities by storm

DIDN'T ACT ON PARK
PARK BOARD DEFERS DECISION
AS TO CAMDEN PLACE ACQUIsI-
TION-SENTIMENT DIVIDED,

Camden Place will not have a park
for at least thirty days, as the park
board has deferred action on the park
proposition until it's next regular meet
ing. A majority Of the committee on
improvements, consisting. of Commits
sioneTs j. E; Northrup, G. M: Loring
of establishing a park to include the
valley, Of Shingle creek. DR.. W. W.
Folwell argued that the price was too
high and j.. H. Van Nest announced
that he could not vote for the park
when nearly so per cent of the tax
payers in the district were opposed to
it. Mayor D. P, Jones deplored the
lack of public spirite on the part Of
the park opponents, but he was con-
strained, nevertheless, to vote against
month.
It was decided that the Ard Godfrey
house should not be placed in the Rich
ard Chute square, on account Of the
small size Of the square. s....,..,.y.; -;
/ A petition requesting that Lake Anne
liza be taken into the park system was
referred to the committee on designa-
tion of grounds.
The park engineer was directed to
examine the land on Portland avenue
and Fortieth street, which the owners
have offered to present to the city on
condition that it is converted into a
park. The land is low and the engineer
is to ascertain what the cost of drain
age will be. 49,.
Miss Jeanette Newell presented a
claim of 500 for damage to a dress by

skirt by the barb-wire fencing at

italian Program Tonight.

AS the Italian night last week proved
such great success, it has been decided
to give another program Of Italian COM
positions this evening. The prolog to
II Pagliacci'' will be the first number
and will be followed by the duet from III
Trovatore." The sextet from Lucia, "
the "Cavalleria" intermezzo and the
grand selection from '''Mephistopheles"
will also have a place on the program.
Two numbers which have created great
sensation here since the opening of Fan
ciulfs series Of concerts, the grand Sc
lection "Andrea Chenier" and the dra-
matte overture, SAUL" will be given.
The dramatic overture Saul had
never been attempted by any military
band until Fanciulli played it. Wherever
he has gone he has created a great SEN
sation with this number. It describes the
fury of Saul and the tender solicitude of
David and, being a subject with which
almost everyone is familiar, it is easily
comprehended by the audience. Very
few symphony orchestras play this COM
position. 1-s. .~7. -5v'-. ...ae -, /
1t has been a great surprise to find that
the singers of Minneapolis have respond
ed very slowly to the call for chorus to
sing the patriotic ode, Zone Flag and

held at the Roosevelt club this evening at
o'clock and all those who have been
unable to attend the former rehearsals
should be present this evening.

MAKE A CLEARING
ON BIG ISLAND
STREET RAILWAY COMPANY WILL
BEGIN THIS FALL.
Preparations Under Way to Fit Newly
Acquired Tract for Amusement Re-
sort-Buildings Will Be Erected Next
Spring-Bathing Beach and Boating
Will Be Features.

This fall will see q great change in
the appearance of the east end of Big
Island in Lake Minnetonka, prepara-
tory to the plan of the street railway
company to transform the large tract Of
land recently purchased into a pleasure
resort for Minneapolitans and lake dwell
lers. The property which at present is
covered with heavy growth of trees
and brush, IS to be cleared at once. ALI
brush and shrubbery and dead timber
will be cleared away, leaving but the
best and finest trees. The ground will
be evened and smoothed off and seeded
to orchard grass and redtop. No build
ings will be erected until spring.
"We have not definitely decided lust
what we will put in,' said an officer
Of the company today, "but will aim
to make the island property beautiful
and attractive spot and a popular resort.
We will at first put up buildings for pro-
lection and for refreshment purposes.
If we find that elaborate amusement
features are wanted, we may gradually
add them, developing the resort from
year to year,
Among the first buildings to be built
will be large comfortable boating and
bath hhouses. A part of the finest strip
OF shore will be cleared of all rough
stones and converted into fine bathing
beach.

LlITLE.JAMES WOULD
Be A BOLD FIREMAN

Little Jimmie Latourelle. the heavy
weight musician and leader of the or
chestra at the Unique theater, aspires
to more active life and has fled
application for position on the fire
department. Chief Canterbury is con-
sidering it.
In answering the questions on the
blank, Jimmie says he has "trained
faithfully for the position during the
past year and has reduced his weight
to 400 pounds His waist meausre is
now 'Fbut 500 inches.'' He has only
applied for life insurance once, and ad-
mits, that he was rejected, mot be-
cause 1 was physically weak says
he, =" but because l could not swim.'
He served several months as ladder
man on the fire department at Pigs
Eye, Mimi, he AYERS, but resigned
because his uniform did not fit. I" His
hearing is so good, he says, that he
'can It sleep at night when there is
a breeze.''
He has given a good list of refer
ences and says that his small personal
| debts do not exceed $4,000.
On account of Jimmie acrobatic
attainments Chief Canterbury will
probably accept the application. jim

Warming Up to the Germans.

From all appearances the New York
mayoralty campaign is going to be of
national interest, if not of national
concern. The republicans are going to
make strenuous effort to GUST Tam
many, and they realize that, with Nc
Clellan as the Tammany candidate, they
have no easy task before them. Nc
Clellan is popular with the Germans
because of his handling of the excise
question, and. he carries the whole
democratic vote. 4 TO beat him will re-
quire an exceptionally strong candidate
on the other side. The republicans be-
lieve they have found the man if they
can get his consent to run. The man
is former Mayor Schieren Of Brooklyn.
Mr.. Schieren has the advantage Of
being a German of the Germans him
self. He is Prussian by birth and is
exceedingly popular with this element,
which frequently throws the election
in New York from. one side to the
other. It was the Germans who elected
Mayor Low, and it was the same Ger
mans who, two years later, defeated
Mayor Low because they were dissatis-
| fed with his course on the liquor ques-
| tion. ..,rs.
What may be expected in the way of
reform with both parties courting an
element which does not want "sumptu.
ary laws - enforced may be left to con.
| lecture.

NYE MILK ORDINANCE
WILL BE RECOMMENDED

Alderman W. F.Nye's ordinance for
bidding the sale in Minneapolis of milk
points unless the shippers had complied
with the ordinances of the city regard
ing dairy and cattle inspection, yester-
day was recommended for passage by
the council committee on ordinances and
health. A number of dairymen at
tended the meeting, but they made no
objection to the ordinance after it had
been fully explained.
Alderman F. H. Castner sought to
have several amendments made, partic-
ularly one permitting the dairymen to
be represented by a veterinarian when
the tuberculin test was applied to their
cows, but was unsuccessful. He an
nounced that he would present mi
nority report and make fight on the
ordinance at the council meeting.

summer by the present tenant, and all
that will be necessary for us to do is
to bring our people here. Vaudeville
requires but little scenery, you know,
and we will secure that here. l am

ing attractions yet, but can say that
our opening bill will make even Min
neapo1is take notice. We will keep up
the same pace thruout the season. Our
lease permits us to run some burlesque
occasionally and we may decide to

Untque-ContInuous Vaudeville,

With the opening Of the regular theat-
rical season the Unique theater has been
able to obtain some excellent talent this
week and an unusually good bill is pre-
sented. 81
The leading feature Is the acrobatic
exhibition of the Graceful Grohs Altho
but mere children, their act is replete
with sensational and thrilling features
and is one of the best performances of
the kind that has been seen here. One
of the children is a contortionist and
,balancer Of the first rank. Next to the
Grohs, Harold Beckrow and Irene Little
have the best number Of the program in
the illustrated songs. Their number is
featured attractively this week and they
are compelled to respond to repeated en-
cores. - .. .'. ~. Ir<
Gordon and Hayes have "a short com
edy sketch filed with bright, clean hu-
NOR, and the Ryans have an Irish and
German specially that keeps the audi
ence in an uproar.
There Is one number on the program
that is absolutely without merit. That
is the Irish monologue Of Lottie West
Her attempts to say something funny are
painful and some of the illusions are
particularly offensive to the audience.
The moving pictures are of the usual
good variety and help to round out a
well-balanced show.

The Indian: Timber Sale.

Dispatches in 7 he Journal today
give some facts which may develop
some unpleasant features in connec-
ton with the coming sale Of timber
from the allotted Indian lands on the
White Earth reservation. The ar
rangements for the sale do not seem to
be made with due care for the interests
Of the Indian owners. Only twenty
days will elapse from the time the sale
was advertised until bids will be
opened, and they must cover the entire
tract Of pine and hardwood timber,
standing and down, estimated at no less
than $50 100000 feet. The tract will
not be sold by piecemeal, but to one
bidder.
Any one having knowledge of the
lumber business will appreciate the i'm
possibility Of any lumber company in
specting such a vast extent Of timber
after the notice published Aug. 16, and
making an intelligent bid Sept. 5.
Bidders who have such short time for
preparation must necessarily make
their figures with great caution How
ever, it seems that eone company has
been figuring for months or even years,
has accurate estimates on every tract,
and is all ready to. buy. This, com,
pany will evidently have the advantage
of competitors, and will be in position
to profit by the haste in which the sale
is ordered. The public does not care
so much who gets the timber, but, the
Indians are entitled to receive it's full
market value, as they would stand 6
chance Of doing if proper notice of the
sale were given.
The acting Indian commissioner
seems, to have been i'll advised in max
ing his rules and setting the sale fol
such an early date" The case calls fol
a thoro investigation by Commissioners
Leupp, and it will be surprising if he
does not make radical change in thu
plans.

Sage and Rockefeller.

The New York Press is uncharitable
enough to remark that the more the
people learn about Mr.. Rockefeller the
less they dislike Russell Sage. Sage, it
explains, is an ideal American money
grubber. He would not for his life
charge less than the going rate of in
terest nor could he prevail upon him
self to let up on any unfortunate who
owed him money. Yet Mr.. Sage is not
hated as Rockefeller is hated The
public holds him in certain contempt
and rather enjoys making it's little
jokes at his expense. It would not take
his money away from him if it could.
On the other hand it has an active
.grudge=aga nstt2 Roe efelIer7 and would
strip him If it hadethe power. E
Il Mr.. Rockefeller s defenders, usually
clergymen of picturesque ,sympathies,
claim that Rockefeller s only crime has
been success. This the Press denies
| demonstration that a man may pile
up much money in the ordinary ways
in America without rousing antagon-
ism. Rockefeller is hated, therefore
| it must be not because of his success,
because of, the, methods. by which he
commanded success. -. z,....
/ The, distinction between Sage and
Rockefeller is one Of difference and not
of degree. One could not image Mr.
Rockefeller repudiating his obligations
as Sage has done, nor Sage originating
a plan to circumvent the laws of the
country as Rockefeller has done. Such
men as Sage come and go and they do
the world no good and very little harm.
Such men as Rockefeller come but sell
dom and their coming, .heralds vast
| changes in the. condition. of men.
Rockefeller in his business. lifetime has
destroyed the old way Of doing bust
ness. He has substituted combination
for competitions; secrecy for publicity;
mendacity for truth; bribery for
brains. He buys lawyers who buy
for him laws; he crushes rivals relent.
lessly or kills. them by the slower tor.
ture Of starvation. The mere fact that
a rival exists is cause for going to
war with him. The mere fact that he
resists is reason enough for killing him
Mr.. Rockefeller is a law unto himself
Is it wonder that he is hated, feared
and admired9 There are in the tungles
of South America two animals
who typify Sage and Rockefeller. The
