MINING LEASES HELD VALID.
Constitutionality of Mineral Lease
Laws Upheld by Supreme Court

laws OPhelo by supreme Court.
st. Paul, Sept. 9.-The constitution.
ality of the mineral lease laws and
the validity of the Mabel Evans lease
are upheld by the state supreme
court in decision handed down yes
terday.
The case was important not only
because of the value of the Mabel
Evans lease. but because it involved
the validity of the leases of all the
iron ore lands owned by the state.
The case was tried in the Duluth
district court. and the court held that
the charges of fraud has no founda,
ton. and also that the law was con.
stitutional. The law was attacked on
the ground that it contravened the
constitutional provision prohibiting
the sale Of school lands except by
public sale. The question before the
court then was whether the right to
the minerals constituted a sale of
part of the land" or a lease to the
land.

TOOK 20 YEARS TO OPEN STREET
Watertown City Wins Fight With
the Roads.

Watertown last week celebrated
with due ceremony the formal opening
of Oak street, which ended the twen-
to open one of the principal streets,
connecting the North side with the
South side, across the rights of way
of three railroad companies-the
Northwestern, the Rock Island and
the Minneapolis & St Louis.
Ever since the city was plated the
street has been divided, and twenty
years ago the city council made the
first effort to have it opened across
the tracks. A resolution was passed,
and the first steps taken. but the rail
ways secured a permanent ininnc-
ton estopping all proceedings. Later
an effort was made to get a bill
through the legislature giving the
city the right to open the street, but
the railroads succeeded in killing it.
At last diplomacy succeeded in
gaining the consent of the Northwest
ern. but the j. l. Case Threshing Ma
chine company. which bad its dis
tributing warehouse on the right-ot
way where the street would run
when opened, refused to move its
building and threatened to take its
entire business away from the North.
western system If forced to move.
Finally when the old warehouse be-
came too small to accommodate the
Case companys business, it was
granted new site, the finest park
owned by the railway company in
Watertown, lying at the head of Ma
pie street. A magnificent new brick
warehouse was built upon the site
this summer, and then the Case com.
pany consented to move its old build
ing.
This being accomplished after sew.
eral years Of tedious waiting and
diplomatic fighting, the old warehouse
was moved and the three railway cor
porations turned over to the city
deeds to the Oak street right of way
property.
These deeds were recorded Thurs
day morning, and on Thursday even,
ing the Cadet band led a procession
of nearly 1000 persons across the
newly opened street Mayor j. M
Martin and all former mayors in the
city made short speeches.

CITY MADE MISTAKE.
Small Asphalt Repair Plant Would
Be Profitable.

The city madeta mistake in not pur-
chasing a small asphalt repair plant
this spring. The city could have had
the plant paid for under contracts
ers to repair asphalt payenents where
excavations had been made.
The gas company alone has paid
out $500. with about $50 more to
be paid out, for repairs to asphalt
pavements where it has excavated in
them to lay gas mains. The plumbers
have also expended money in asphalt
repairs. All of these contracts went
to John Bradley. a local contractor
small repair plant would have
cost the city about $500 to $500 and
with the above repair contracts. which
doubtless would have gone to the city.
it would have made enough in the
way of profit to pay for the first cost
of the plant. Men experienced in lay
ing asphalt paVements are now en-
ployed in the street department. so
that the city was prepared to not only
look after its own work but to make
repairs for those excavating.
A recommendation was made to the
council by the city engineer and the
plumbing inspector this spring that an
appropriation be authorized for the
purchase of a repair plant. The
council pigeonholed the recommends
ton.
A repair plant is declared by the.
CITY engineer to be a necessity. A
small repair plant would mean money
in the pockets of the city. There are
great many little holes that could be
patched in the asphalt pavements. and
which would result economically to
the city" said James McCabe, city
engineer.
zone of the first things that the city
should do when 1t has this pavement
on Kansas avenue completed is to
purchase a repair plant, said E. A.
CLANCY, plumbing inspector.
1.-THE paving company will not
leave their plant here. It will be
shipped from here as soon as the
pavement is laid. The asphalt is
bound to be torn up in the course of
year or two, even If this five years
clause goes into effect covering new
plum bling: leaks will occur, and these
will have to be fixed. That. means that
the pavements must be torn up 1t
always take time before you can get
the paving company to make the re-
pairs To put the pavement back and
then leave 1t there waiting for the
paving company to come is Just as bad
as If YOU don't put the paving back
at all. To make an excavation and
then leave the repair work go for a
time spells ruination to the pavement.
With a small plant at hand which can
he run out and repairs made right as
soon as they are needed, the city will
save its pavements. That's the only
