A Dust-Free Waterfront.
Owing to the southerly wind that

TIE waterfront has presented delight

slushy from the rain, but the wind no

dust there was all went inland, where
it belongs.

FINLAND.

The difficulties attending the estab
lishment of definite relations between
Finland and Russia seem to be in
creasing. In Russia it is claimed that
after the Introduction Of a constitu-
tional form Of government some of
the functions of the monarch passed
to the douma and the imperial coun-
Gil. while the Films hold that the new
form of government in Russia has not
affected the relations between the
monarch and the Finnish landtdag,
and that the Russian imperial coun-
Gil has no right to meddle with the
internal affairs of Finland. No mat
ter how careful the landtag Is, it will
be bound to touch upon the rules
which provide that certain bills shall
be placed directly before the monarch,
while the imperial council will ask
for these bills in the first place. Trou-
BILE will also be caused by the arbi-
trary ruling of the council that bills
passed by landtdag which is after
wards dissolved shall be void.

LOOKS OVER UPPER RIVER.
Federal Engineer Investigates Navi.
gabiiity Of Mississippi.

Brainerd.-E. J. Dugan, United
States engineer in charge of the gov.
ernment water reservoir system in the
upper Mississippi valley, has com
pleted an examination of the river
from Grand Rapids to Little Falls.
He says he found the river from
Grand Rapids to Aitkin in fairly good
shape. From Brainerd to Aitkin it is
in fairly good shape and navigable ex.
cept for the Deerwood bridge, which is
too low to let the large boats used on
the upper river pass under, except at
the very lowest stage of water.
From Deerwood to Little Falls the
river is a succession of wide, shoal
stretches with gravel bars. The only
thing which makes navigation DOS
sfble is that the logs have formed bars
and restricted the water to a narrower
channel with a minimum depth of
eighteen inches. :
1t is very probable, he says, that
the war department will, when money
is appropriated by congress for the
purpose, clear the river of snags and
the banks of trees.

New York, July 9.-Receiver Fred.
erick w. Whitridge has a suspicion
today that the Third Avenue railway
was robbed of between $4,000, 900 and
$17,000,000.
1t was at hearing before the pub.
lie service commission to inquire into
the merits of the reorganization plan
that this fact was made public.
Robert w. Perkins, stockholder at
the hearing, said the old debt of the
company was about $21, 100000, but a
new debt of $37 100000 was made.
The receiver said he could not &C.
count for the difference.
Il could find out if somebody
would give me 100000 or 100000 to
spend on lawyers, but as it stands, I
don't know" he said. There is no
evidence in, on, over and under the
earth that it was spent on the road"
Have you begun any suits for resti-
tuition of this money!" asked Mr.. viii.
cox.
Il have not. 1t was mostly difficult
to trace money that was disposed of
nine or ten years ago. Some of the
men who were in charge at that time

CONTEST OVER w,NoNA ESTATE.

Of Simpson Property.

Winona.-Trouble is being expe-
rienced in the probate court over the
settlement of the estate of V. Simp-
son, who died four years ago and was
rated as one of Winona's wealthiest
men, the inheritance tax paid on the
estate amounting to $3O,140. Mrs.
Josephine Simpson, the widow, and F.
H. Thatcher, the two being administra-
tors, have filled a petition asking for
a final settlement. This has been OBJ
jected to by Mrs. Elizabeth Nevius,
the oldest daughter of Mr.. Simpson by
his first marriage, on the ground that
no inventory of the value of the estate
has ever been filed in the probate
court, and that she is ignorant of the
true value of the estate.

st. Paul.-The government engin-

state drainage board in making topo-
graphical survey of the state, are at
work In Otter Tail and Pope counties,
where they started making a topo-
graphical map of the whole state. The
Pope and Otter Tail region was select
ed on account of its many lakes and
streams.
I'VE desire to impress upon the peo.
pie the importance Of preserving our
lakes and water resources" said
George Ralph. state engineer. "These
maps will show up the lakes and their
storage capacity. In some places the
people try to drain some Of our beau
tiful lakes"
Push Work to Completion.
A Typographical survey of the coun.
try surrounding the Twin Cities and
also the country around Duluth was
made some time ago by the govern.
ment, SO that work will not be gone
over again. The work now started in
the lake region will be continued as
fast as possible so that before very
long complete survey of the whole
state will be made.
I'VE are trying to work for the fu-
ture as much as possible" said Mr..
Ralph.
Need Comprehensive Plan.
I'VE are giving as much of our time
and resources as possible to helping
out the regions of the state which are
settled or which will be settled in the
immediate future. We are doing all
we can toward getting surveys which
will show where the reservoirs, EN-.

built.

ing bitches without any general plan.

ing the Season.

New Ulm-The indoor rife team Of
Company A. Second infantry. located
at New Ulm. has recently been award.
ed lirst prize and baner for the highest
score attained at the competitive shoot
Of all the national guard indoor rifle
teams Of the state for the season 1908
1909.
This has been the first experience Of
the Minnesota guardsmen with the
Springfield 22-caliber rifles distributed
last fall to all the companies in the
state.
At the meeting Of the Minnesota
National Guard Association in January
the officers formed an indoor rifle as
sociation for the promotion of rife
practice in the state and banners were
offered as prizes for the company
teams making the highest aggregate
score at the close of the season. The
result was carried on through the win
ter and at the end of the season the
team shoot was held, the result of
which was that Company A of New
Ulm obtained the banner as first prize
with the score, Of 972 points; Company
c, Third infantry of Duluth, was sec.
ond with 926 points; Company F of
the Second infantry of Fairmont was
third with the score of $50 points.
The only possible contestant with
Company A for the championship is
st. Peter, which defeated all other
teams which 1t met with the exception
of the Company A team. The first
match between the two teams resulted
In a victory for Company K with q
score of 920 to 90. The Second was
carried by Company A with a score
of 923 to 80 and the third, through
a difference of Interpretation of reg.
ulations, was claimed by both COM
panies. Company A, however, claims
clear title by reason of the decisive
score Of 972, as against Company KS
of 956 in the brigade team shoot; fur
thermore, because practically the
same teams met in a match on Me-
mortal day on the St. Peter outdoor
range and there Company A won out
by II points. The team has been
coached and managed by Capt. Albert
Pfaender, who is himself an exper-
fenced rifleman.

Fractions Of Time Important.

Fractions Of Time Important.
1t is not common to find a person
who can correctly estimate the lapse
of single second. But. as an Eng
lish writer remarks, in these days Of
speeding automobiles, the exact time
when each of two colliding vehicles
must have occupied particular spots
may be matter of great importance.
In a recent experiment a car took
nearly two seconds to stop after
brakes were applied, and in that time
it moved 10 feet. So even fractions
of second are important. One can
train oneself to estimate even tenths
of second. Try it with watch, and
it will be found that it is just pos.
sible to count ten in the lapse of a
single second. But one must count
very fast to do it.
