ST. PAUL AFLoAT
1t is Now the Modern Venice of the
Northwest

BY the rising of the river the scene
in front of ST Paul is startling and i'm
posing. The river spreads out as far
as the. eye can see to the widthaof two
miles. The lover portion of West st,
Paul., directly across from the Mawau-
kee depot, looks as tho it was in the
middle of the stream.
The Evening Journal reporter counted
over 300 houses surrounded and flooded
to the depth of from three. to six feet,
to say nothing of the number that got
away, on the flats on the East Side.
They have cost fr6n $500 to s., 600 each.
and if the flood continues very long it
is probable the great majority will be
carried off or destroyed.
Two thousand families, it is esti-
mated, have been turned out of house
and home. Thus far there. has been no
loss of life, but a number of horses and
cows are standing in water up TO their
noses How to rescue these animals is
a problem.
s relief committee is at work dexising
means of relieving the necessities of the
suffering people. Barracks have been
built for those thrown out of shelter,
but there is need of provisions and sup
plies. The city council of St. Paul has
appropriated $4,000 for this purpose.

Mr. Mattison admits the agreement
but claims the sale was to be kept Sc
cret four months to give him a chance
to buy adjacent property before the
boom caused by the prospective hotel
would strife the market. Mr.. Mattison
is much chagrined al popular comments
on his action. and has, as We are IN

towards purchasing the Stewart prop
erty at the corner of Fourth street and
Hennepin avenue. which would be even
better site for hotel purposes.
Anothe', reason for his action was
that Mrs. Mattison was 10th to give up
her home for any money and persuaded
her husband not to sign the deed. -

STATE TO OPERATE.
Missouri Operates a Irvine Factory,
She May Now Dig Coal.

jefferson City, Mo-, April 1T
is more than likely, according to
reports which were received here to-
day, that the state will begin the
operation of the coal mine at
Waverly, from which the peniten-
tiary draws its fuel, in a day or
two. The miners there are out.
Warden Hall is to-day in Waverly
for the purpose of taking charge OF
the mine if terms cannot be reach
ed with the miners. Chief Clerk
Trimble of the penitentiary re-
ceived a telegram from Warden
Hall 10 night that he felt assured
O compromise with the miners
would be reached by Wednesday
morning. Should this fail, how
ever, immediate steps will be taken
for the operation Of the mine by
the state.
Arrangements to this end were
perfected some days ago by War
den Hall and the operators of the
mine, and in the event that the
State finds it must take charge Of
the mine. men will be employed tC
do the work of taking out the coal
with ample protection afforded
them by the state. Warden Hal
did not anticipate trouble from the
miners at Waverly, as they were
being paid a much better scale
than miners in other sections
of the state.
The supply Of coal at the big
prison has been quite low for. sew
errl days, and other state institu'
tons are also threatened with {
fuel famine. The penitentiary
though, is the only state institu'
ton supplied with coil from the
Waverly mine. The state, il
forced to take charge of the mine
will supply all its institutions from
that point.

STEAM PLOW.
Two Galloway County Men Will
Use One in Texas.

The Fulton Sun said a few days
ago:
Presley Gill and Wallace Wills
have in a thirty two hundred dol
lar steam pillow which they expect
to use in preparing thousands of
acres of Texas land for corn.
cotton, cane aud other products.
Messrs. Gill and Wills leave
Tuesday for Amarillo, Texas,
where they had their steam pillow
shipped to. Up to the present
time they have contracts for
breaking over a thousand acres
and expect to find work enough to
keep them busy all summer. This
plOw is similar to those used in the
big wheat fields in the DakOtas and
California and breaks II feet of
ground to the furrOw. In the pan
handle near Amarillo most of the
country is rich prairie and is easily
broken. Messrs. Gill and Wills
get $1.35 an acre for breaking this
ground. They expect to be able
to break about twenty acres day
and il they find ready employment
for the steam pillow as they expect,
the venture will prove a very prof
liable one.
Mr.. j. w. Gill recently pur-
chased "a section OF land in the pan
handle near Amarillo and is in
