WONT INVALIDATE LAW
GOOD ROADS AMENDMENT CAN'T
AFFECT HIGHWAY COMMITS
- sIoN,~ SAYS ATTORNEY GEN.
ERAL.

The good roads amendment to the
constitution submitted by the last leg
islature will have no effect In the high:
way commission law Of 1905, even If
adopted at the next general election.
This is the opinion furnished the
Hennepin county good roads people by
@. s. Jelley, special counsel to the at
torney general, and approved by At
torney General Young.
Because the new amendment drops
all mention Of the highway commits
sion from the constitution, the ques
ton was raised whether it would not
knock out the highway commission
law. Mr.. Jelley holds that as the legis,
lature has power to levy the road an6
bridge tax, It has the right to provide
for expenditure Of the fund, and Car
delegate that right to commission
even If the constitution is silent or
the subject. The law will be valiG
whether the amendment passes or not
The Jelley opinion removes the mai1
objection raised against the good roads
amendment, and is expected to result
in all friends Of the good roads move
ment supporting the amendment. =

HOLIDAY TRADE A
RECORD.BREAKER
RETAILERS REPORT 25 PER CENT
INCREASE OVER 1904.
Buying Began About Thanksgiving and
Continued Steadily for -Four Weeks
This Shows that People Have Money,
Say Observation-Disclosures Rush
Broke Many Records.

Smiles Of satisfaction over the holt
day trade Of 1905 adorn countenances of
proprietors Of retail stores. The aver
age increase over the business of 1904
seems to have been about 25 per cent.
In the case Of Boutell Brothers, with
their new stock, the increase has been
100 per cent over the business Of previ-
Gus years. Walter Boutel does not con.
slider this fair criterion of the gener-
al trade, but takes it as an Indication
Of the general increase in trade in the
city.
The trade preceding Christmas is re-
garded as the most uniform in the re-
tail history of Minneapolis. It began
about Thanksgiving time and continued
steadily for four weeks. In it's analysis
it shows that the people were buying be-
cause they had the money. The store
keepers say that when times are hard,
four days before Dec. Is. Then the peo-
pie buy from force of the Christmas
spirit and spend money anyway. When
times are easy, the women Of the family
| take the buying in hand themselves and
begin SO as to have a leisurely shopping
time.
G. D. Dayton of the Dayton store
said today: "Our Ch m, trade
and every day, without single ex-
ception, the business was larger than
the corresponding day last year"
Other merchants voiced similar res
| views of the trade for December. At
the Glass Block large force Of extra
clerks and floor managers were en-
ployed to care for the rush. Cut flow
or trade was ''about the imit,'' as it
was expressed. The Palace Clothing
House found itself unable to care for
the business offered, altho great prep
arations had been made. P. J. Ken.
nedy Of Kennedy Brothers reports that
their trade started in several weeks
ahead of time, and that it was unprec.
edented. Everything that would please
the boys and girls was snapped up by
the purchasers and paid for as If
everyone had plenty Of money. The
cigar trade was better than last year
Box goods went fast and better class
Of these goods was in demand.
Saturdays business was phenomenal
Rarely has any retail store in the city
experienced such tremendous rush az
was on until IL pm. that night.
A pleasing feature Of the holiday
business has been the increased pay
rolls Of all the stores. Extra help was
necessary to take care Of the trade
rush. and thus work was given many
hundreds Of clerks for four weeks, ane
at good salaries. .s-

WEATHER WAS PERFECT
MINNEAPOLIS CHRISTMAS WAS
JUST RIGHT FOR EVERYBODY
AND EVERY KIND OF FUN.

Minnesota, and especially Mfnneapo-
lis, put In a strong claim yesterday for
the title Of weather paradise Of the
world. The weather powers produced
a brand of goods that was in every
way worthy. the day that everybody
was wa celebrating' and everybody njoyed
It was a day for everybody. It was
not too cold for those who wished to
parade in fine raiment and make fash
ionable calls. It. was not too cold for
driving and was weather par excellence
for the automobiles. Many machine
that had been stalled for weeks was
re6lled and given q spin thru the coun-
try and about the town. Many Santa
Claus found that his buzz wagon had
the reindeers beaten mile and made
his trips in thoroly up-to-date fashion.
All this did not interfere with the
winter sports that many preferred to
the tanner exercises Of walking and driv.
Ing. The skating was the best ever,
| The ice was just right and the sport
could be enjoyed to the limit without
fear Of frozen feet or fingers or noses

never was such Christmas since the
history Of the world began. That may
be going some, but so were the iceboats
There was no gale blowing, but the
bright sunshine and the not unpleasant
chill Of the air made the day ideal fol
the sport.
Visitors in the city admitted that
they could see why Minneapolis people
always boast Of the Minnesota climate

day under cover in the house, but il
would be shame to do it today. -
The day started like a. beautiful
spring morning and kept it up. Ole
Sol worked overtime wishing. the coun
try merry Christmas until the las
moment when he settled down In the
west. There was just suggestion Of

the living and made everyone glad t
be alive. It was everybody's Christ
mas and everybody enjoyed it to thu

Manager Raymond of the Orpheum
Breaks Up Little Graft Deal.

u It was anything but a merry Christ
mas given by the Orpheum theater to
the. ticket scalpers yesterday.
For several Sundays, and other days
in the week, when sfsell outs'' have
occurred, enterprising young men have
appeared a, few moments before the
performance with small punches Of
tickets with which they were willing to
part for a little premium.
For the past four Sundays Mr.. Ray
mond has stood out in the lobby and
warned everyone seen buying scalp
ers tickets that admission would be
refused at the door on such tickets.
This has had discoura cling effect, but
the combination of two seI-out
days, Sunday and Christmas, was too
much for the enterprising amateur
scalpers, and several appeared yester-
day afternoon, only to find huge signs
reading: Don It buy tickets from
spectators at advanced pricee. Admis-
sion will be refused,'' staring them IN
the face. Some tried to get out from
under by selling back to the box Of
fee, where the answer was that there
was "nothing doing,'' and others tried
vainly to get rid of their wares at ad.
vanced prices. Most Of them sold out
at the regular rates and promised to
leave the tickets alone hereafter.
