Chief Factors in. the Situation.

Unless something is done before long,
much Of the wonderful waterpower OF
the Falls of St.. Anthony will be
choked with sand and debris. This is
especially true on the east side Of the
river where the Pillsbury "a mill,
the Minneapolis General Electric conc-
pany's power plant and several others
mills take their power. The choking on

from the sawmills, BARK, sand and other
refuse. The situation was brought
home with more than usual force last
fall after the high water of the spring
and summer Tons Of sand became
lodged in the basin above the falls.
AS the east side channel is quiet, much
of this sediment settled on that side.
Another factor is the immense guam
tity Of bark in the water. The bark
trouble is now for this time of year.
During the saving season there is al
WAYS more or less bark in the water
and the screens protecting the openings
to the millraces are closely watched
Much of. the bark is Watersoaked be-
fore it is ground off the logs in the
| booms, and sinks before floating as

the entire length of the upper river
for years and the bottom is said to be
covered with it.

TO WIDEN PARKWAYS
Satisfactory Agreement Reached on
Strip Near Government Dam.

An agreement has been effected pc
between the park board and the heirs
of the Dorman and Greer estates with
reference to the proposed widening OF
Riverside parkway at the government
dam. Last year the board condemned
forty lots belonging to the two estates
and the commissioners made an award
of about $4,000 for forty-four lots. This
was not accepted by the heirs, as the
amount was considered insufficient.
The board was unwilling to pay any
more, but negotiations were continued
as the heirs were anxious for the i'm
provement and were willing to compro-
mise, .
They have decided to present to the
park board a strip Of land forty feet
wide and 1900 feet long, retaining the
remainder of the land condemned. Fur
thermore they agree that all deeds shall
contain clauses providing that no build
ing shall be erected within fifty feet of
the boulevard line. 49,
The arrangement is satisfactory to
the park authorities as the forty addi-
tional feet will give sufficient land for
the boulevard and will relieve the park
board of the payment Of considerable
sum of money. The traffic street which
parallels the parkway will be the entire
distance between Franklin avenue and
Lake street will be carried over on Dor
man avenue under the proposed change

MINNESOTANS IN EAST
Edgar L. Madison Meets Old Friends
on TriD to New York, lbs

Annapolis was one Of the objective
points Of an eastern trip from which
Edgar L. Mattson, cashier Of the Swed-
ish-American National bank, has just
returned. He visited his nephew, Mid
shipman Ralph N. Jaeger, son, of Luth
Jaeger. The day before had occurred
the annual "sousing' Of the new edi-
tors Of NThe Lucky Bag the acad-
envy publication. According to custom
the three editors, in full uniform, were
dropped into the cold waters Of the
Severn river, as chastisement fol-. harsh
things which they might print during
the year.
In New York Mr.. Mattson saw Gil
bert G. Thorn, former cashier Of the
Northwestern National bank Of Mime
apolis. He is now vice president of
the Park National bank, and has be-
come firmly convinced that New York
is the real place to live. For himself
Mr.. Mattson believes that the west
has New York distanced, altho he can
show nothing here to match the sub.
way. Mr.. Mattson heard Olive Frem

Holly Contested Judge Brooks to

A second trial Of the suit brought

The first trial consumed over two

The plaintiff and younger brother
seeks the transfer OF certain shares OF
Crookston and st. Hilaire Lumber
company stock which he alleges the
millionaire lumberman fraudulently IN
duced him to sell for $70;OOO. 1t IS
charged that the older brother exerted
illegal influence upon Edwin and the
stock was worth much more than
$4,000 when it was transferred anu
is now worth between *.

> The defendant denied that he did
not use undue influence and showed
that the stock had all been given to
the plaintiff by him and that Edwin
realized what he was doing when ne
sold it. Judge D. F. Simpson found Tor
the defendant. On an appeal the SUI,
preme court held the evidence did not
support the Judgment and ordered !.
new trial. It was held, however, that
there had been no real fraud.
The defendant moved for an amend,

liability by paying the difference, be,

the amount of $95 900, which the court
held the stock to have been. worth al
