From SATURDAYS Dany.
Today was the last day for independent
candidates TO file for the city election.
but none had filed up to the middle OF
the afternoon, and none were expected
to file. The election occurs a week from
next Tuesday. and City Recorder Scherer
will proceed TO prepare the official ballot
at once.
A. G. Mayer is receiving a number of
oral applications for positions on the
police force. and few applications for
other positions. He is also being visited
by delegations and individuals seeking the
appointment of this or that man, but he
is keeping his own counsel. and states
that he has not yet made up his mind
upon any of the offices.

The position of chief of police is de-

years. and brought the best results.

RESULT OF A SURVEY
ENGINEERS COMPLETE THE WORK
ALONG MINNESOTA RIVER.
Work Is Expected to Establish the Fact
That Floods Can Be Checked; No
Fears of a Destructive Overflow at
This Time; Data Secured Will Be
Incorporated In Report to Be Sub
n,tted Later.

st. Paul. March 27.-Engineers en-
ployed by the state drainage commission
to make a survey OF the Minnesota river
basin have returned from a winter cam
paign which completed the work from
the rivers source at Big Stone Lake
down as far as Belle PLANE The work
is suspended temporarily on account of
the spring breakup and accompanying
high water. 1t will be completed to the
rivers mouth this summer The survey
is expected to establish the fact that
foods can be obviated in the future by
a system of researches to hold back
dredging and Strengthening of the river
channel
Fears No Flood
Fears of Il destructive flood at this
time are not borne out by the engineers.
Philip McCauley, one of the party, said
today that down as far as Jordan there
was no danger. The thaw has been
gradual, with a freeze every night and
the Minnesota is carrying off the water
nicely.
Dynamite is being used on an ice
jam at Blakeley. The only danger is
from high water i'm the Mississippi which
would back up into the Minnesota and
cause overflow of the bottom lands in
the lower reaches of the river. The sur
vey trip began Jan. II. and was carried
through to March % with excellent re-
suits.
1--WE were only compelled to lay off
three working days, said Mr.. McCauley.
we lost one day for each one But for
those three days We were continually
in the field and the work is easier
done in winter when levels can be taken
on the ice. We suffered very little from
cold
Will Make Report
The data secured by the engineers will
be Incorporated in report which will
suggest the most practical improvements.
Levels We're taken from which the capa-
city and cost of impounding reservoirs
can be figured. The survey will also
show the cost Of deepening and straight
enng the channel, removing sandbars
and otherwise caring for the excess water
which for three years has caused damage
! to bottom lands and towns estimated i'm
the millions for each year
Work has been done under supervisor
of George a. Ralph, state drainage en-
gineer. The field party was in charge
of Gates a. Johnson, Jr., and included
Philip McCauley. John w. Shaffer. Steen-
er Stevenson, r. b. Willard and r. N.

CLIMB OF LADDER
RISE OF WILLIAM w. WALLiSER,
NEW NORTHWESTERN HEAD.
In 1883 He Was An Engine Wiper in
the West Chicago Shops, a Fireman,
Brakeman, Conductor, Trainmaster;
He Is a Master of Details; Has Stud
led His Work; An Able Man; Well
Thouqht OF.

William w. Waliser. the new superin-
tendent of the Minnesota and Dakota di-
vision of the Northwestern road, with
headquarters in Winona. is "a selfmade
man. having won his mark i'm the rail-
road world by persistent and conscen-
tious work in behalf of his employers.
Beginning at the bottom of the ladder,
his career is most interesting.
The action Of the company in giving
Mr.. Walliser the place is evidence that
he stands well up i'm the estimation of
the higher officials of the road. Mr..
Walliser is thoroughly cOnyersant with
that he will merit and receive further pro-
motions as the years go by is a fore
gone cOnslusion. His is a record Of
rapid advancement.
His Rapid Rise.
Less than thirty years ago he was
employed on the section and i'm the com
panys coal houses at this point. work
ing only part of The time. He has been
cago q Northwestern railway company
since May 30. 1883. and has served in
the several capacities and for the per-
iods as shown in the following:
May 20, 1888. to November TO-. 1888
engine wiper at West Chicago at $l25
a day.
November 10, 1888. to September /,
1885, locomotive fireman. Galena divi-
sion.
September s. 1885. to June % 1892,
freight brakeman, Galena division.
June %, 1892, to November Z 1902,

November 3, 1903, TO March II, 1909. as
sstant superintendent, Galena division.
March II. 1909. appointed superinten-
dent Winona division.
Studied His Work Carefully.
The secret of Mr. Waliser's rapid adj
vancement lies in the fast that he did
not work merely for so many dollars a
month, but he studied his work until he
mastered all the details of railroading and
thereby laid the foundation for his pres
ent success. AS assistant superintendent
here he gained popularity by his kind
treatment and respect for his SubOrdi
mates. He worked on the theory that this
manner was the best way to get the
maximum amount of work out of the
employees under his jurisdiction He has
made an enViable record. one of which
he may justly feel proud and he richly
deserves the honor and confidence be-
slowed upon him. He is a shining eX-
ample of that high type of starting man
hood that commands admiration; he is a
man of tricteSt honesty and integrity
and is in every way worthy and well
qualified to creditably discharge the du @
ties that deyolVe upon an incumbent of
the important position Ia which he has
been assigned.

WARDEN DRAWS TWO SALARIES
Fire Marshal Not Likely to Secure an
in

tUCTcdSc III SttpenQ.
st. Paul. March 27.-General G. c..
Andrews. state fire warden, wants an
increase in his salary. He has asked for
$500. but the best the house committee
on forestry will give is 1000.
1t has been found that General An
drews is drawing two salaries. though
he refuses to admit that one is in eff
feet a salary.
Two years ago the five warden's sal
airy was increased from 81 200 to 81 500
and there has just been reported out
another bill by the house forestry COM
mittee, increasing it to $4,000. General
Andrews asked for $500, and it looked
as if he would get away with it, until
an inquistive member asked him re-
garding an extra $50 a month that he
receives from the state forestry board
as its secretary.
There is some question as to whether
General Andrews can draw the two
amounts, and the state legal depart
ment is to be appealed to for an opin-
ion. Some of the lawyer members of
the house say it is against the law
and an investigation of the department
may be ordered in consequence.

High Estimate Is Placed on Law Makers
RN Mr. Ebarharf

There is not enough wealth in Min
neSOta to buy q measure through the
senate and don't think there is enough
to buy one through the house." such was
the statement of Lieutenant Governor A.
O. Eberhart at the get together" ban
quet of the -Dayton's Bluff Commercial
club in its new club house Thursday
evening, when speaking of the integrity
of the states lawmakers.
He said. harmony between the two
big cities of the state is most import
ant. and strife between them is a draw
back not only to the cities themselves,
but to the state as a whole. Mr.. Eber-
hart urged closer cooperation between
city and country especially as to COM
mercial and Industrial activities.
