erty, Hanson's answer was in the
Affirmative
Mr.. Russell then told the court
that he knew Hanson had been a
source of much trouble to the police
and the mayor, but under the con-

rather leniently. He also said that
the limit for the crime of which
Hanson was guilty was 80 days in

SECOND DISTRICT CUT DOWN
While Third and Fourth Are Enlarg-
ed-Meets With Approval of
Petitioners.

Late yesterday afternoon the board
OF county commissioners voted to re-
district Beltrami county.
For some time the residents of the
mort hern part of the county have felt
dlssa tisfied with the districts OF the
county commissioners, and have felt
that some method should be pursued
whereby the county could be re-
districted.
At the March meeting of the com
missioners petition was read to
them asking that the county be re-
dlstricted, and it was at that time
that the matter was considered and
map ordered to be drawn whereby
the commissioners could ascertain
the exact districting that petitioners
wished.
After a short argument it was de-
cided that the plan should be accept
ed, and the new districts will be as
follows:

.HALVOR STEVENSON
VISITS PANAMA CANAL
Says That Wonderful Progress Has
Been Made Since His Last Trip
There. s1
PRAISES WORK OF COCKTAILS
Engineers All Agree That Plan
Which is Now Being Followed
Is Wonderful Success.

Is Wonderful Success.
Congressman STEVENSON, accompa.
! MED by Mrs. Stevenson, has return
ed to Washington after a trip TO the
Panama Canal, and when interview
, ed had the following to say of the
trip and conditions
J. I'VE had an interesting trip and
barring two or three days of stormy
weather, the voyage was a pleasant
one. We spent six days on the 18th
mus and were shown every courtesy
by the canal officials The progress
that has been made on canal con-
struction during the four years since
my previous trip is very gratifying.
At the rate of present progress the
canal will be finished in about two
years.
THE success of this great under
taking, of which every loyal Ameri-
can must be proud. is mainly due to
the wonderful perfect organization
that has been perfected under the
leadership Of Col Goethals. The
health conditions are of the best, and
the sanitary department never has re-
Taxed it's efforts to keep them so.
a. When one considers how easy it
would have been for the United
States to have made a mistake in it's
policy with reference to this work,
one cannot but congratulate the
country upon it's good fortune.
-Four years ago when l visited the
canal it was still mooted question
whether it should be a sea level or
lock canal, and whether it should be
built directly by the United States
or through contractors. To have
adopted either the.one or the other
course would certainly have r. sulted
! in failure. The Society of Civil Engi.
neers of the United States held the
closing session of their annual meet.
| ing on the Zone while we were there
and they passed resolutions unani.
mously approving both the plan Of
the canal and the direct method Of
construction by the government ant
declared the undertaking a wonder
full success. @tN
ITO those who now recall how foul
or five years ago the newspapers ant
especially the engineering magazine!
were filed with attacks both upo1
the plan of the canal and the direc
method Of construction and the fierc,
battle of the levels carried on il
congress, it is certainly gratifying t,
hear of this wonderful unanimit,
among these men who are, so t.
speak, specialists on that very sub
ject. *~ 4

Be-1idji Pioneer Legislative Bureau
St. Paul, Mimi, April BY the
overwhelming vote Of Al to &C. the
bill seeking to revolutionize the
present system of making tax
assessments was defeated by the
house yesterday afternoon.
This is the measure drawn by the
Minnesota Tax Commission and
which provided for county assessors
at salaries ranging from $500 in the
smaller counties up to more than
$4,000 in the larger counties, doing
away with the present plan of
township assessors.
Many speeches were made for and
against the bill, the strong point
against the bill being that it would
increase the cost of making assess
ments. Representative T. NJ Fer
guson quoted figures to show that in
his county the increased cost would
be more than $4,000 a year.
The senate at the afternoon ses-
sion also killed the Palmer and
Hopkins bill by the provisions of
which it was made unlawful to buy
an Intoxicating drink for a friend
and was known as the anti-treat-
ing bill. 1t was lost by a vote of "a
to so.
The |. ]. Lee bill seeking to re-
gulate the manufacture and sale Of
articles Of food and other mer-
chandise also failed to pass.
The following bills were passed
by the house:
The Davis bill providing for a

officer; the bill increasing the APP
