Springfield, Ill, Feb. "a battle of
millions has developed over the bills
that have been introduced in the legis-
lature to double the sanitary district
tax and allow it to issue about $780,
600 additional bonds. The $4,000 900
that would thus be obtained by the
drainage board in the next two years
is to be expended. according to the
plans, on the construction of the Cal
umet ship canal.
Opposition to this program is based
upon the charge that Chicago's prop
erty will be heavily taxed to build up
a rival manufacturing center along the
Calumet canal The principal argu-
ment in favor of the scheme is that
Chicago must take care of the Calu-
met district sewage in order to prevent
pollution of the citys water supply in
Lake Michigan.

Back Of President Mccormick and
his associates on the drainage board are
said to be the vast interests of the

charge that the real plan is to saddle
upon Chicago the cost Of providing

Construction of the Calumet ship
canal would cost, it is estimated, about

tax. the sanitary board now gets yearly
about $500. 900. Bills introduced in
the house by Smejkal and the senate
bv Clark would double this tax.

HOSPITAL LOSS ADJUSTED
Agreement Reached by Which the
Minnesota Mutual Pays $1,000.
This Means a Net Loss to the Hos.
pital Of $4,000.
Public Depended on to Make Good
the Shortage.

According to the Free Press the
representatives OF the Evangelical
Hospital association of Mankato and
the Minnesota Mutual Fire Insurance
Co. have reached an agreement as to
the amount to be paid by the company
for the loss oecasioned- by the recent
fire. 1t is understood that $4,000 was
the amount agreed upon.
This means a net loss to the hospi-
tai of over So, 900. and the association
is in no shape to stand it.
Thursday evening about thirty
friends of the institution got together
and talked over the situation. 1t
seemed to be the general opinion that
the public should be given chance to
come to the associations aid.
One of the original subscribers dou-
bled his subscription on the morning
after the fire, and it is thought that
others will raise their subscriptions
and that new ones will come in. The
subscriptions will apply upon treat
ment in the hospital at the rate of 81
a week should any of the subscribers
enter the hospital at any time.
At first it was proposed to send out
soliciting committees, but this plan
met with objections and it was finally
decided to allow the citizens Of Man
kato and others to come forward
voluntarily with their aid.
The work of making repairs is pro-
crossing rapidly under the direction
of Contractor Schweppe Of st. j James.

Board Of Control left vacant by the
death of Judge Gould.
The appointment, which was entire
ly unexpected, was announced by Gov
ernor Johnson Saturday. Mr.. Ring
dahl's acceptance was received by tele-
phone, and he arrived at the capitol
Monday to assume his duties. The
appointment is for the unexpired term
ending April !, with the understand
ing that MIR. Ringdahl will then be
named for the full six-year term. The
salary is So, 500 year and there were
a large number Of applicants for the
place.
Nominally the entire board is now
democratic, but the state administra-
ton refuses to recognize S. w. Leayitt
as a democrat, claiming that he has
acted with the republicans politically
since 1896. There is nothing in the
law, however, to prevent all members
of the board being democrats.
P. NJ. Ringdahl was one of the lead
ers in the old populist movement. He
served in the state senate in 1895 ana
1897, and ran for congress in the seY-
enth district against Frank M. Eddy

BRIDAL TOUR IN ALASKAN CANOE
Former New Ulmite Plans Novel
Wedding Trip in Arctic Steamer.

A Seattle special to the Chicago
Record Herald contains the following
information, of interest to all who
knew Charlie Heidemann, at one time
a prominent resident Of this city.
Corporal Charles w. II. Heidemann,
U. S. A., plans an unusual wedding
tour. He has not divulged the name
OF his fiancee, but the name of promi-
nent young author, whom he met
upon one his former trips to Alaska,
is closely associated with his own in
this connection.
With his wife he will in the spring
start from White Horse down the
Yukon upon the breaking up of the
ice, which commences at the head of
the stream. They will go by canoe to
the mouth of the Chandler River, and
up the latter stream to its head The
canoe will then be carried across the
divide in the Endicott range, and the two
will embark upon lifelong trip down to
the Arctic Ocean. They will then
paddle westward along the coast, past
Point Barrow, and around through
the Bering Straits down to Nome, if
possible.
The trip will be made largely for
Corporal Heidemann to collect speci-
mems OF fora and take photographs
of the country and it's inhabitants
and for his companion to accumulate
material for magazine and scientific
work.
Corporal Heidemann has for many
years been engaged in signal service
and other government work in Alaska.
In connection with his work of taking
data and preparing maps he has
covered almost every portion of that
country.
He has made two trips by canoe
down the north arctic slope, collecting
specimens of flora and taking pictures
of everything of interest. Both of
these trips were taken with no human
companion, and involed considerable
hardships.
Corporal Heidemann lost his last
botanical collection and arctic views
N the sinking of the steamer Leah in
the Yukon River. He spent three
months in procuring these specimens
from the north arctic slope.
At present the corporal is connected
with the work of the local signal corps.

following senate committees: Judici-

WANT ANOTHER DISTRICT JUDGE
Senators ClaSue and Seward Differ
However as to Plan.

IT Senator's Clague of Redwood and
Seward of Lyon are to be believed the
counties now comprising the Ninth
Judicials district would like to have
another judge. At any rate they both
introduced bills on Friday to bring
about such an addition to the judici-
airy.
Senator Stewards bill provides for
detaching Pipestone from the Thir-
teenth district and adding it to the
Ninth. Then he would give the newly
formed district an additional Judge.
Senator Clague would detach Lin
coin and Lyon counties from the
Ninth and Murray and Pipestone from
the Thirteeth and out Of these four
counties form a new district to be
known as the Nineteenth.
A bill providing for a permanent
capital commission, to consist of the
governor, the secretary OF state and
the state treasurer, was introduced in
the lower house yesterday by mem
Der from Hennepin. When will these

that the people have confidence in a
