st. PAUL NEWS LETTER

The action of the Saint Paul city
council in including in the new city
budget a large appropriation for
city advertising. places the sanity
city in the lead of American munich
palities in recognizing advertising as
a progressive agency in city devel-
opment. St. Paul is one of the first
American cities to make direct pub
lie appropriations for this purpose,
and takes this action after a rigid
investigation by special joint COM
mittee composed of representative
men from the council. ex-mayor
Robert A. Smith and Joseph Strong,
a leading wholesale merchant.
Practically all Of the money ap-
propriated by the city will be ex-
pended in advertising for the pur-
pose of building UP St. Paul's manu-
facturies, industries and population.
Expenses of organization, mainte-
nance and similar disbursements
will be paid from the funds raised
by the business men.
One days energetic work on the
part of the women of St. Paul has
resulted in the raising of $4,000
with which to fight the white plague,

at once to stamp out consumption
within the Saint Paul city limits.
The money raised by the women will
be used in the establishment of dis
trict free dispensaries where tuber-

medicines and treatment, in the hir-
ing of district nurses who will visit
homes where consumption has ap-
peared and instruct families in the
care of the sick and safeguarding of

a free outdoor camp hospital where
consnmptives may receive the open

bridge which will span the Missis-
sippi connecting South St. Paul with
the main railway yards is practically
complete and constructive work is
being rushed with all speed. The
new structure will be complete with
in year and will give the South St.
Paul live stock market as good rail
way facilities as are enjoyed by any
stockyards in the United States. The
completion of the bridge it is be-
lieved will bring about a marked
expansion of the facilities at South
St. Paul. and very large growth of
adjacent districts, which will then
be given the best Of facilities for
manufacturing enterprises. This
and other improvements now in
progress will guarantee an enor.

6|SS0NS CASE

When w. H. Sisson's name is
called to answer q charge or MAX
ing false afiidavit in police court
this afternoon there will be no
answer. And no bench warrant
will be issued. Sisson died in a
chair at the Nagel saloon last
night after drinking a glass of
beer. Coroner Witter determined
the cause of death to be dropsy.
More than two years ago Sisson,
who owned saloon in Hope, Ida
no, purchased 5000 worth of goods
from the Kirkwood Distillery Co.
Soon afterward he sold the saloon
and gave a bill Of sale for the
Kirkwood company goods. He came
to Spokane a few days ago and
the old warrant was served on him.
In explaining why Sisson was never
prosecuted in Idaho, Archie Ash,
of the Kirkwood company, this
morning declared that it would
have been too expensive a proceed
ing, SO Sisson was not molested
until he came here. Sisson was
out on a $500 surety bond signed
by Chris Nagel, his son in law.

Will Call FOR CONcRE
BIDS ON OLIVE Az. BRID i
City Officials to Settle Disp
Comparisons Of Cost.

: According to members of the city
council and city officials today, the
Olive avenue bridge question has
resolved itself into a test Of the
relative cost of concrete and steel
bridge construction. The test will
be made on the Olive avenue bridge
by referring 1t back to the board
of public works for Reimbursement
on the basis of concrete eonstruc-
ton
The general Impression about
the city hall this forenoon seemed
to be that the city council would
take such action at it's meeting
as a committee Of the whole to-
night. With bids on steel construc-
ton IN hand the receipt Of bids on
concrete construction will give the
city council a better idea of the
relative cost of the two materials
in bridge construction than any
thing that has SO far presented
itself.
The discussion Of the Olive
avenue bridge proposition has
stirred up the liveliest mess that
has occupied the attention of the
city fathers since the grade sepa-
ration fight.
1t has reached the stage where
personalities are bling INDUCED in
and aspersions cast on the motives
of some of the leaders in the
fight. On this account the meet.
