an artillery officer with forty years
service, may be promoted to the rank
Of brigadier and assigned to this de-
partment.
Colonel Owen J. Sweet, Twenty
eighth infantry, at present commanding
at Fort Smelling, is the senior active
officer of the department. and will as
sumo command pending the appoint
ment Of General Carr IS successor, which

INDUSTRIAL HOME IS
HAVEN FOR INYALIDS

Crowded out Of the city hospital be-
cause the room was needed for patients
in more critical condition, Henry o.
born, young man who came to Min
neapolis from Duluth in search of en-
ployment, found himself on the streets
ten days after he submitted to an oper-
alton for appendicitis.
Had it not been for the fact that
he was sent to the hospital by the medi-
cal department Of the Salvation Army
he might have suffered severe, hard
ship, and perhaps a relapse. AS it is,
he is now in the army's industrial
home, where he is doing light work and
slowly regaining his strength.
This case is typical of many which
come to the industrial department, and
is pointed out by Staff Captain Gooding
of an example of what the industrial
home is intended for.
"We are not caring for buns and
loafers,' said the captain. eff a man
is able to work he will have to pay his
board here just as anywhere else, and
will not be admitted if we are crowded.
There are lot of men about this town
who are too sick to earn day wages
and not sick enough to stay in hos
pital. Such men find place here where
they can earn what they need without
straining themselves and without loss
of elf-respect.' -

CITIZENS TO AID OF
CITY BATHING PLACE

Several encouraging replies have been
received in response to the appeal for
financial aid for the Gerber baths at
the east end Of the Plymouth avenue
bridge. The cash contributions have
not been large, but there have. been
numerous inquiries for further inf ma
ton and AS the writer's are from we'll
known men, it indicates that they in
tend to do something substantial for
this enterprise. It is planned to
spend at least $4,000 this year in ad-
dition to the $1,000 appropriated by the
city council TO ia large bathhouse, and
to enlarge the island and brighten it
with trees, shrubbery and flowers.
Originally Hall s island was very
small sandbar, less than an acre in ex-
tent, but it can be enlarged to fully
five acres at comparatively small ex-
pense. The wonderful attendance dur
ing the brief season of last year indi-
cate that it is most-needed improve
ment. Last summer before the baths
the Mississippi river claimed seven
young lives, but after they were opened
not another life was lost.

BOYS CONFESS THEY
SET WOODWARD FIRE

Joseph Burns and Thomas Crane, both
about II years old, have clashed with
the fire department., and they are now
looked upon as frebugs. \
The two boys, who live in North Min
neapolis, confessed to Fire Marshal
Charles Ringer today that they set fire
to coal and wood yard at Seventeenth
avenue N and First street, and then
turnedlin the alarm, just to see the big
red wagons 60 by.
According to their own story the boys
obtained waste from the railroad yards
and saturating it with oil placed it
against the little frame building, early
on the evening Of Feb. 20. They then
set fire to it and hid behind building
to watch the blaze. Fearing that other
buildings might catch fire, they turned
in an alarm and the flames were soon
extinguished.
On account of their age the boys were
not arrested, but were allowed to 90 on
their good behavior: They will have
to keep straight, however, for their
names have been given to the police,
who will keep watch on them.

LATE SNOW HELPS
The LOG OUTPUT.
LUMBERMEN TAKE COURAGE
AND HOPE FOR BEST.
Conditions Thru Winter Have Been
Against Log Harvesters- Is Far

Hope of Catching Up-Every Tree
Left Prolongs Pine Industry.

With snow already deep upon the
ground and still heavier fall, and 9
decided drop in temperature predicted
to follow, Minnesota lumbermen today
are Joining with the fuel dealers in
great rejoicing. A continuation of the
cold snap may make it possible for the
loggers to catch up in their cutting to
an extent that will make the season Is
log crop approach those of the past. At
present the loggers are away behind,
and 1t will be necessary to get in some
strenuous work to make even a present
able record. ...-
1--WE are still plugging along, far
behind,' said prominent lumberman
today, and until the present change
in weather came on we almost despaired
of accomplishing anything. The wealth
er has been dead against us almost
thruout the season. There has been a
shortage of laborers in some sections
but in some camps it has been difficult
there. We cannot hope to reach the fig
ures Of the past even if we have the
best Of conditions from now on, and
an exceptionally late spring, but we
will welcome every days time we arc
given, and will make a strong effort
to cut down the shortage.'' 80
One CLEAN of Joy. - .
Only one consolation, aside from the
indications Of moro favorable weather
could be found in the pessimistic state
ments of the lumbermen who have beer
set back by an unusually mild winter
That is the fact that short cut this
year will prolong the inevitable day
when Minnesota pine. will all be mar
keted. ~ H..
Today it is impossible to estimate
what the log shortage will be as com

TAXPAYERS BLANED
o
FOR MISMANAGEMENI

Fifty-two members Of the Minneapolis
real estate board attended the. monthly
luncheon meeting today at the Hotel Mic
ollet. The constitution was amended per-
hitting additional members Of firms al
ready in the board to join without pay
ment Of the initiation fee. AS a result
seven applications for membership were
filed.
Report Of the Kansas City trip was
read from the secretary's minutes. Much
interest was awakened by the report Of
the legislative committee, in which Chair
man W. H. Gould referred to the fact
that real estate owners pay four fifths
Of the taxes, while real estate interests
apparently take no interest in the ex-
penditure Of municipal funds. Instead Of
the aldermen being much to blame for
wrong appropriations, the taxpayers are
really at fault for not taking more inter-
est in civic affairs.
A warm discussion came up on the
paving question. This was precipitated
by figures on Kansas City paving bids
prepared by 8. S. Thorpe. The legisla-
tive committee will take the subject Of
paving under consideration. <~ H. IL
