NO WATER POWER GIFT.
Not Likely That Twin Cities Will
Profit by High Dam.

Washington, D. G. Consideration
that is being given to participation by
private and public corporations in the
activities of the United States in water
power and conservation questions at
this time gives rise to the belief
among members of the commerce CON-
| mlttees of the two houses that it will
be impossible for Minneapolis and St.
Paul and the state university ever to,
obtain the consent Of the engineer de-
partment of the government or of con-
gress to donate the power which
would result from the proposed 30 foot
dam
1t is believed here that the engin--
GERS and the river and harbor commit
tee will favor the high dam, but the
agitation that has taken place over
water power rights and the desirable
ity of saving to the United States
profits accruing from such power
rights makes it certain that strong OBJ
jections will be raised to making any
gift of power either to cities or to-
! private parties.
Under the terms of the bill intro
duced Wednesday by Senator Nelson,
strict provisions are made to care for
water power rights and all privileges
connected Herewith in lands or waters
owned or controlled by the United
States.
In connection with the discussion of
the new features of this bill and what
is expected to come from the consid-
GRAFTON which the river and harbor
and commerce committees will give to
the matter it is regarded as doubtful.
even with the most favorable arrange
ment, for the high dam project and all
facilities for government utilization of
power that more can be secured to the
Twin Cities than the first beneficial
use of the power after the government
is cared for.
The prediction is now made that the
river and harbor committee will favor
the high dam project with a substan-
tial appropriation and also a sum suffi-
cient to construct the foundations of
the proposed power plant.

Some Items of Interest From the
Public Offices About Occur.
rences of the Week.

City Treasurer Isaac N. Powell, has
issued his report for the past fiscal
year. 1t contains many interesting
| facts.
The city is the gamer of many hun.
dred thousand dollars through .he
legislative act of 1906 putting the
treasurer's Office on a salary basis
instead Of on the old fee system. The
revenue to the city from the Office

Under the salary system the rev.
enue from the treasurer's Office
leaped to s196,792, which, after deduct.
ing expenses of the office of s4O.577.
left the city clear $156215. Last
year the revenue from the office was
$2S9,224, with Office expenses of $55.-
552. leaving net revenue to the city
Of $233,671, nearly twice as much as

system.
During the year the treasurer re.
ceived $2S9,224 In interest on bank de.
posits Of city funds, and s22,O63 in in.
terest on the various pension funds,
making grand total of interest re-
ceived during the year of $S11,2s7. A
summary of the treasurer's statement
shows a balance in the treasury, IN
Jan. I, 1909, Of $12,495, 76S, receipts of
$61,564,04S, disbursements of S64,44O,.
665, and balance on Dec. 81, 1909,
Of $15,619.152.
The cash balance of the neremen's
fund on Jan. 1. 1909, was $262, ,O46; on
Dec. 81 It was $3O4,91O. The teachers
fund had a cash balance on Jan. 1,
1903. of $16,7S6; on Dec. 81 Of $26,936.
For this fund. the treasurer in addi.
ton held $253,OOO In securities.

we can tell at moments notice
whether an applicant for license is
the man rightfully entitled to it,
The fifteen cases heard supported
his conclusion, for they brought less
complicating testimony than did the
docket last April, when the last pre-.
vious license period expired. The facts
were less tangled and the cases were
simpler to adjudicate.
This was true of the claim of Rob.
ert L. Hugo, 31O5 Grand avenue, who,
Collector Magerstadt held, was awak.
ened into claiming an old license when
he heard of offers of premiums rang.
ing from $500 to $4,000. From the
records It appeared that Hugo had
permitted his license to lapse in 1907
and that subsequently a saloon had
been opened at the same address by
the United States Brewing Company.
The collector held that Hugo's license
was dead"

The doublet worn over the vest was

ly was this mode of attire that the
king resolved 10 give the lead toward
a more economical and sober fashion,
and in the fuifillment Of this design he
donned the new garment, which Pepys
hailed with pleasure.
Such we're the circumstances which
