CITY SMOKE INSPECTOR
GIVES HIS EXPERIENCE
Local Official Writes to Municipal
Journal and Engineer Results of OBJ
servations on Smoke Nuisance.

J. W. Allen, the city's smoke in
spector, has an article in the Municipal
Journal and Engineer on the smoke
problem, which has attracted great
deal Of attention thruout the country
In his article Mr.. Allen estimates the
damage by smoke in Minneapolis for
the, year 1905 at $5.5OO,OO0 or more
than five times the damage done by
fire. The $4,000 chimneys in Minneap
oils are divided into three classes, com
-mercial, domestic, and industrial and
each class is treated separately.
The crusade against the smoke nui-
sance in Minneapolis is largely one Of
education. Mr.. Allen says that as
soon as owners Of plants are taught
that it Is to their advantage as we'll as
to that Of the community to cease
making smoke, "they become eager
to make the necessary changes in their
plants and in their system of gurnine
fuel.' He ventures the pred1ction that
in six months nearly all Of the invete.
rate smoke makers will become models
Of cleanliness. <.-. .
It is almost universal, he says, fol
architects in building boiler rooms to
ignore the fact that they should be
provided with air ducts by which an
unlimited quantity Of fresh air, can be
brought in. ~.a~-.>t .'.
The other practical memorandum il
that owners and operators Of furnaces
that make smoke do not take note OF
the adaptability of certain grades Of
fuel to the furnaces. They seem tt
think that fuel is fuel and that a fur
mace. is furnace without any regard tt
size, kind, location, draft or service re
quired and that any kind of fuel cal
be fed to any kind of furnace, and i
might be added in "any old way. ;
In most furnaces in Minneapolis, Mr.
Allen says, the CRATE surface is to,
large. The more pounds Of coal to tn,
square foot of CRATE surface the bette
the combustion and the less smoke.
What might be called conclusion
of the whole matter is simply this
Smoke is a sign Of faulty combustion
1t is waste of fuel. The more Der
feet the combustion the less tn
| smoke. t-|.@t

BOYS BOTHER FIREMEN
Thoughtless Boys Fill Hydrants Will
Gravel and Stones.

Chief j. R. Canterbury Of the fire
department is up in arms over the ac-
lions of a. gang of small boys, who have
been putting the Northeast Minneapolis
hydrants out Of business =. e
tops Of the hydrants and filing them up
with stones, making it almost impossi-
BILE for the fremen to open the hyd-
rants. At small fire few nights ago
a building came near burning down be-
cause of the work of these boys.
The chief has appealed to the parents
in the neighborhood to look into the
matter, but if the tricks are repeated
the boys, will be arrested and punished

matter and there is trouble ahead for
someone unless the practice stops.

AUTO NI[RURBAN TO
GIVE AN0kA SERVICE
NEW TRANSPORTATION LINE FOR
HENNEPIN COUNTY.
Minneapolis Company Will Take Adj
vantage of Unsatisfactory Railroad
Conditions and Ply Between AnoAa,
Osseo and Minneapolis - Heavy,
Durable Machines to Be Used.

After various false alarms in the way
of proposed and promoted interurban
lines, the securities of which have al
ways proved indigestible in the financial
market, Anoka, Osseo and the closely
settled intervening country are to be
connected with Minneapolis by regular
automobile service. In effect it will be
a suburban line without tracks. Two
automobiles, capable
of good speed under full load in any
kind Of weather and making regular
trips between Anoka and the center of
Minneapolis over the Osseo road will
be put in service soon.
After thoroly canvassing the situation
Thomas H. Girling and D. H. Hunter OF
Minneapolis and others became inter
ested several months ago to the extent
of organizing company and placing
orders for two powerful, heavy cars
capable of standing all sorts of grief
The company is known as the Mime
apolis, Osseo and Anoka Transportation
company, and has sufficient capital te
furnish and maintain efficient, first
class service between the towns on the
road. =...., 49, - ~. 49,: 49,

Tho within comparatively short
distance of Minneapolis, Anoka, on &C
count Of the existing train schedules OF
the two railroads entering the town, Ii
not at all convenient to the city. Os
SEQ, a hustling Hennepin county towr
between Minneapolis and Anoka, is, il
anything, worse off. The country be
tween is we'll settled and capable Of
supporting the transportation business
alone, if necessary. Robbinsdale, Osset
and Anoka merchants will all be bene
flied by the service. ...'-...'
Autos with bodies which can b.
thrown open or closed, according to thu
weather, will be used. The county
road is one of the best in the state
and no trouble will be encountered
from that source in any sort of weather
| Tho the train service is not con
venient, over 10000 round trips ar
sold over the two roads from the tw,
towns with train service. The aut'
service will reach the business cente
of every town on the line, whereas boil
Of the stations in Anoka are over
! mile from the business center, neces
stating the use Of buses. A paying
horse-stage line has been in operation
for some time between Camden Plac'
and Anoka, on the opposite side Of tn
river from Osseo, and with but tw,

TAXPAYERS CAUGHT 4
BY TREASURER HAWKE
Checks Mailed to Cover Taxes are
Banked So Quick that Many Come
Back Marked No Funds.

Taxpayers who have been in the
habit of sending checks to the county
treasurer and having them presented
at the bank sometime within the two
or three weeks following the final day
for payment, without penalty, are be-
ing disturbed by County Treasurer
Henry @. Hanke's new regime.
Yesterday practically all the letters
with enclosed checks were opened and
the funds deposited in the bank. AS
result, a large number Of checks
have been returned with the unpleasant
form "not sufficient f,nds''
All Of the checks returned unpaid
are being sent back to the makers and
unless they are Immediately taken up
the 10 per cent penalty will be attached
to the taxes they were meant to pay.
There are other troubles being en-
countered by the county treasurer.
who mailed their checks after twelve
O'Clock on Feb. %. All of the send
ers Of such checks are being notified
that without the 10 per cent penalty
their taxes are not marked paid.
Yesterday a young man went into
Mr.. :Hanke Is office and presented a
check Tor ms personal property taxes.
He was informed that it could not be
accepted because it was offered too
late. He went to the county treasurer
and asked that he note on the check
that it had been offered in payment.
This request was denied and the tax
payer then stated that his brother had
gone to the Office at 1880 on the night
of, Feb. 20 and had found the. office
closed. <zsss' That is not true; we kept
the office open until 9 O'clock" ex-
planned Mr.. Hanke.
'fWell, that might be but there was
such a line that he could not get up to
the window suggested the taxpayer.
"At 1880 Wednesday night there
were not half dozen people in the
Office said Mr.. Hanke, and the young
man paid the penalty. :

Rev. K. N. Morrill,, pastor Of First
Baptist church in Lapeer, Mich, who
needs no better introduction to Mime
apolis people than the statement that
he is brother Of Rev. g. L. Morrill,,
was a party Sto remarkable coinci-
dence few weeks ago. His picture ap-
peared in the Christian Herald, Bap-
tist publication, and under it his full
name, ,Kingman Mott Morrill,. q
A few days later Me-. Morrill, received
a letter from Rev. K. N. Conrad, Bap-
fist minister of Newport, N. Y, as fol-
lows:
: A long time ago I saw your initials
and wondered if your name was not
as above. The last issue of the Michi-
gan Christian Herald coming into my
home verified my query beyond doubt.
Doubtless you will be interested to
know that forty-six years ago, Sept. %
last, my parents were looking for a
name for the new arrival, and about
that time Rev. Kingman Mott, a rising
Baptist minister of New York city,
was bathing in the bay and drowned.
The new arrival was named for him.
and in all these years I have never
known anyone but yourself and myself
TO bear the same name. y.
@%- All Are Preachers.
The coincidence is doubly interest
ing in the fact that I am one of four
brothers who are Baptist preachers. NV
rather was also Baptist minister for
forty-one years. y
My last passionate in Michigan was
at Rochester, on the line of railroad
running south from your place to De.
troit. At the time I was located there
the Morrill, twins of Chicago, evangel.
lists, called on me and I gave them the
privileges of my church.
'They were interested in the gospel
landship work in Chicago. Were they
your brotherss'
Rev. Mr.. Morrill, was also named
after the Kingman Mott who was
drowned forty-six years ago. A fur
Their coincidence is the fact that there
were four brothers in Mr.. Morrill, Is
family, two Of whom were the famous
Morrill, twins of Chicago. 2#' ,
A sketch Of the Conrad family sent
by Mr.. Conrad to Mr.. Morrill, shows
that one of the Conrad brothers is now
dead, as is also one Of the Morrill,
brothers. ~: -. -
The next coincidence is that like Mr.
Conrad s. father, Mr.. Morrill, 8 father
was alsosa Baptist minister for forty.
four years. -

had pastorates in Michigan as have
also all of Mr.. Morrill's brothers.

GOODRICH RUSSELL INSTITUTION
PLANS IMPROVEMENTS.
Features to Be Added Will Include
Training to Enable Girls to Fill Posi-
tions, in Domestic Service, and to Fit
Boys to Become Useful Members Of
society-Report for Last Year.

Z /. 81 -
The management Of the Goodrich
Russell Industrial home, 24O6-24O8 Sew
enteenth avenue s, is planning to en-
large considerably the scope OF the in
stitution the coming year.
The home, of which Rev. M. w. With
ers is superintendent, was established
two years ago primarily to- aid colored
girls and aged people. $50
The new features planned are indus
trial in character, including cooking,
laundry work, all forms of do
nestle training, sewing and for the
boys printing and brushmaking class.
The management has ascertained that
a large number Of southern girls desire
to come north, and are anxious to go to
work here, but are not equipped with
the necessary knowledge and training.
It is believed, therefore, that the in
dustrial training, which is to be COM
menced, will be a great aid in the work
Of the home.
In other years, girls brought from the
south were advanced money for their
transportation, but this was eventually
secured work. The home hopes before
long to establish a transportation fund
from which the girls may be given free
transportation.
The work Of the home the last year
has been outlined by Rev. M. W. With
ers in statistical form as follows:
Applications made to the home, in and out
| Of the city .......... 25U
! Girls residing in the home ................ Il
Girls securing positions thru the home. -. los
Girls from the south to the home. 4f
| Aged and infirm cared for .................

are all donated. .-. E.

heart and soul with the Advertiser in
it's attempt to defeat him and thus end

paper can prove anything more against
Brown than that he is at the head of
the machine, and as it has proven that,

Moore is a smart gambler, but he SEEM
