CavernS Under Minneanolis.

The business part of Minneapolis is
built on the roof of caves. These were
once a network of subterranean lakes. At
any time during years the roofs of these
caVerns might have caved. For three
years men have toiled underground like
moles to prevent this danger. \ hun
bred feet below the streets boats have
carried the material for this work. Now
the big work is completed and all is safe.
At noon Sunday Andrew Rinker, city en-.
gineer, released for publication the fact
that for three years Minneapolis had been
threatened with a disastrous calamity.
Under oath of secrecy, members OF the
city council have yearly appropriated the
large sums that have been expended in
the immense undertaking for the proven
ton of threatened disaster.
4 fortunate accidental discovery of the
danger, and the liberal use of concrete,
has eliminated the peril, and the threat
ened part of the city is now as safe as
if it rested on the eternal rock. These
caves extend under the city from First
avenue to Eighth avenue South and from
Sixth to Fourth streets, Some of them
are over 200 feet long and from to %
feet high. located from SO to ll9 feet be-
low the level of the streets.
They form a chain of cavems Their
vaulted roofs, on which rest big buildings,
are supported by immense concrete pill
lars. Under the First National the
Northwestern National, and the Farmers
and Mechanics banks there was a vast
cavity. All of the caves were made by
water flowing from the springs in the
Basset Creek valley Originally the caves
were filed with water, forming a chain
of subterraneous lakes, which gradually
emptied and wore larger by the wash of
running water when the big sewer tun-
mel from First avenue North, south to the
river was built in 1867

THE pR ATTJ ERORO REFORNER, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1907

the beginning OF warfare in which the
hunted shall become the hunters. Can IT
he that the innocent creatures who have
been the object of so much solioltude by
the wise legislators of the state, are about
TO abuse their privileges, now that they
have increased in numbers so as to war
rant taking the initiativey When, not
content with openly sampling the farm
er's garden sass" deer take to chasing
children into the house, following them
almost to the doors" it is not too much
10 say that such base ingratitude should
he stcmly reprobated, The press of the
state has almost unanimously stood up
for the gentle deer against the cruel
hunter and the complaining agriculturlst.
Game laws have been enacted and game
wardens appointed to see that vicious
dogs and hcartless men do not encroach
upon their rights, II has been generally
supposed that these timid creatures We're
harmless and that they will fly at the
approach of man. Have we been strange
IL deudedy Ii our children, playing on
the lawns, are in danger of being bitten
by savage deer, chased into the house by
fierce does, followed to the very doors
by ferocious fawns, it will be necessary
to repeal our legislation on this subject.
No one will set up the claim that as be-
tween children and deer, the deer must
be cared for Parental solicitude demands
that our offspring be guarded from the
attacks of these denizens OF the forest.

Listers Largely to Blame,


The commission on double taxation is
discovering what good many students
of state conditions have suspected for Il
long time, viz, that half the taxation
troubles Of the state arise from the acts
of listers. In two towns already exam
ined, a large and a small town, the com
mission found Just one list made out ac-
cording to law. They also find it prac-
tically impossible to secure anything even
approximating intelligent information
from the average town clerk. These two
facts are mere details in the problem, but
indicate the enormous scope of the sub
iect and the difficulties that confront the
commission. 1t is probably true that
nothing in the way of practical recon-
mcndation can be arrived at by the com
mission this fall. 1t is also true that
about half the injustice and inequality OF
the taxation system might be removed
by listers that knew their business and
appraised property according to their
oaths of office.

A HUSTLING CAMPAIGN.

In 1902 Brattleboro subscribed $l475
for a survey of the Connecticut river
to determine the feasibility of dam
at some point near here. During the
few years following when the project
apparently lay dormant most of the
subscribers felt that their money had
been Fcast upon the waters' with lit
tie prospect of return, but this spring
with the definite announcement that a
dam would be built came the news that
the money subscribed for the survey
of 1902 would be returned by the pow
er company promoters. This money will
be paid back to the subscribers within
a few days now, and it is a fact worth
mention that almost all of it will be
turned over to fund for the purpose
of exploiting Brattleboro s advantages
as a place for manufacturing industries.
To this fund will also be given by the
board of trade generous amount
and officials of the Connecticut River
Power company have given assurance
that they will contribute a substan-

Tramping down potatoes and grass,

their attention to the children. Last
Monday afternoon Grace Sweet and Lou
Use Waite, two little girls, were playing
in a pasture on the farm near Dummers,,
ton depot which was recently purchased
by George Gregory of New York city:
Suddenly large doe followed by well
grown fawn came out of the woods and
made such threatening movements to-

the station agent at Dummerston. The
doe followed the children almost to the
doors of the house and every few min
