BASSETT'S CREEK DEAL
INVOLVES GREAT COST

City Engineer Andrew Rinker in the
to the council on the proposition Of di-
verting Bassett's creek into Cedar lake
and from thence into the chain of park
lakes with an eventual outlet into Min
nehaha creek. ID That the plan is feast
BILE is probably true, but the expense
will be enormous. +.
Mr.. Rinker will report that bridges
have been omitted from estimates here
..tofore. They will cost a considerable
sum Of money. Furthermore Medicine
lake, the source Of Bassett's creek,
ought to be damned in order to guard
against floods. AS Cedar lake is about
four feet higher than Lake Of the Isles,
a lock must be established between the
two, or Cedar lake must be lowered
four feet, to which there may be siren
uous objection from the property own
ers unless the city secures control of
the entire shore line.
Another strong objection will come
from the owners of land between the
point Of diversion near Medicine lake
and Keegan g lake, distance Of four
Of five miles, They maintain that the
creek is decided benefit to their prop
erty for various PURPOSES, and will UNI
doubtedly claim large damages if the
flow Of The stream is diverted.
Mr.. Rinker has been busy during the
winter making Typographical survey Of
the valley Of the creek and the pro.
posed course of the canal and will make
q most sthorqaareport.
it is believed that the cost involved
will efeetually preclude the carrying
out Of the plan for some time to come

BREADUINNER, TOO,
BROKEN DOWN NOW
WOMAN WHO SUPPORTED INvA-
LID HUSBAND, SICK.
Battling Against Poverty, Mrs. Peter
severson Is Weakened by Overwork
and Forced to Accept Outside Aid
for First Time Husband Needs
Light Job.

For four years Mrs. Peter Severson
has. been the breadwinner for her in
valid husband and herself. Now she
is sick and the family is dependent
upon the Kindness Of neighbors and the
Salvation Army.
When Ensign Miller, who has charge
of the army's relief work, first found
the Seversons, they were both sick and
in actual need Of food and attendance.
Their rent was month and half
overdue and their landlord had started
eviction proceedings. After relieving
their immediate wants the ensign
found them cheaper quarters on Wash
ington avenue s. SS- .sH...~.-
for, four years has been unable to fol-
low his profession because Of chronic
heart failure. His devoted wife had
been able to pay the bills and keep a
home for them both by doing day work
as house-cleaner. Her industry and
neatness soon established considerable
business in this line, but month ago
the collapse came and nature demanded
the repayment of the overdraft made
on her strength
A long rest with good food and no
mediate wants of the couple have been
provided for and q very small sum a
month will suffice to keep them.
Mr.. Severson is a well-educated man
and is able to do Light work. Ensign
Miller is trying to obtain a place for
him as. a caretaker, janitor or clerk in
a lodging house. Severson is able to
speak three languages, and hopes to be
able to turn this accomplishment to the
profit Of his employer.
The wages which Stevenson is able to
earn. tnOnthnr with Soma n1,&ci6o oo.
sistance, viii be sufficient to a' tide the the
couple over this crisis and keep them
going until the wife is able to resume
work. This is the first time they have
been the recipients Of charitable assist.

LET OUT SECRETS
OF HAYNES FUND
DISCORD EVIDENCED IN SUIT
BROUGHT TODAY.
Witnesses Charge that the County Com
mittee's Fund Was Used In Boost
Ing Haynes for the Mayoralty-
Litho Company's Claim for Cam
paign Posters the Basis Of Action.

That George P. Douglas, erstwhile
chairman Of the Hennepin county dem.
ocratic committee and the pilot of
former Mayor J.. q. Haynes 1904 cam
paign for election, devoted the county
committee $ funds to the benefit of his
mayoralty candidate was the accusa-
ton made today in municipal court by
M. O. Brady. S
This and other amusing evidences Of
lack Of harmony in the minority party
were divulged in the trial of suit
brought by Fred Beygeh against the
committee and certain candidates to
recover 500 for making the handsome
group halftone of the candidates which
was Haunted during the campaign.
dentally, testified that he and Fred
Wheaton had been offered places on
the ticket by Mr.. Douglas, gratis--Mr.
Douglas had some $4,000 or $4,000. for
county campaign expenses and should
have included the Bramblett & Beygeh
claim in his disbursements. Mr.. Brady
ran for county attorney and Mr..
Wheaton waged an Inflated contest for
county treasurer as result Of the
alleged generous offer.
Today the committee and Individual
candidates whose pictures graced tho
bright Autograph are co-defendants and
each faction is endeavoring to thrust
the burden on the other. Judge E. f.
Waite, who heard the testimony, adj
mitted the legality Of the claim, but
reserved his decision as to which party
shall be held liable.
Another peculiar and amusing de-
velopment was the fact that several
democratic candidates for the district
court seats positively declined to have
their ikenesses on the Autograph with
certain other candidates. The specific
cause Of this objection was not divulged
! during the trial and the parties in the
suit were harmonious in refusal to
explain the reason, but it developed
that a committee had decided to leave
the pictures Of the judicial candidates
off the bill. ..
Turnout, the trial was highly inter
esting. It mirrored certain hitherto
unknown and unexpected swirls in the
sea of democracy and even Judge Waite
was moved to say, "This is interest,
ing" while Mr.. Brady, representing
the candidates, was putting the "don
key' thru his PAGES. Mr.. Douglas
representing the committee, declared
that the arrangement for the cut was
not formal and that the committee
could not be held liable. In spite OF
this it was shown that the committee
had paid the bill for the few Thousand
Autographs, upon which the group cut
had been used, circulated in vain en-
deavor to secure votes for the demo
cratic county candidates. Kerr
Fowler represented the plaintiff, FREQ
| Beygeh, who has succeeded the firm
Of Bramblett & Beygeh, and is attempt
ing to collect its accounts.

Using generation the coming encamp-

rising generation the coming encamp-
ment OF the G. A. r. will be invaluable.
If for no other reason the sentiment
alone Of this grand gathering Of veterans
who risked their lives for the preserva-
ton of the nation, should prompt every
citizen to give freely Of his time and
means for this work. In addition to all
these there will also be lasting COM
mercial benefit. 1t is an opportunity for
Minneapolis to show the entire world her
strength.-P. D. Boutel.
It is most important that Minneapolis
should make grand effort in entertain
ing the G. A. R. This encampment will
probably be the greatest Of the closing
encampments, and it will without doubt
be the last opportunity Minneapolis will
have to do honor to the veterans Of the
civil war. The responses to the call for
funds should be prompt and generous and
thoroly worthy Of the cause and the fair
name and reputation Of Minneapolis. 1t
is everybody's opportunity and honor.
Civic pride and patriotism demand Of
every man his share.-B. F. Nelson.

CHICAGO MILLERS
WABASH RATE TO EAST HURTS
MINNEAPOLIS.
Northwestern Grain Can Now Be
Ground in Windy City and Marketed

As the result of a new tariff issued
today by the Wabash road, effective
March S, Chicago -four millers are
lis millers in freight rates to eastern
points. This will allow Chicago con-
ems to go into the markets of the east

mill products as cheap as can their
Minneapolis competitors. -
Chicago grain men believe it will en-
able them to come into the wheat
raising districts Of the northwest and
buy grain, which they will ship to Chi
cago to be milled, and then ship the
products east. 1t is doubtful if it will
have such important effect. Mime

favor, but believe they will be enabled
to effect such adjustment of the Min
