RIVAL EVEN TO CINCINNATI
One Town Ripens Tomatoes at
Cost Of $500 Per in School
Laboratory

St. Paul, Mimi, March 22.-The ex.
pose of municipal. conditions alleged
to be without parallel in this country
was made before a committee OF the
Minnesota legislature tonight. 1t was
declared that ten small cities and vii.
lagos on the Mesaba iron range, in
St. Louis county: Virginia, Hibbing,
Ely, Eveleth. Aurora, Biwabik, 3uhl,
Gilbert and Mountain Iron, were on a
great debauch of spending other peo.

Most OF the income is derived from
the tax on ore properties. There is a
prospect that tonnage state tax will
be revived again.
1t was stated Hibbing, with a pop
ulation of less than 10000, has more
street lights than Cincinnati, and
that Chisholm, with population less
than Hibbing, this winter grew toma'
toes, ripening them at cost of $500
each, in the conservatory of the new

Austrians Were Driven to
Carpathians

Petrograd, March 2o.-The garrison
of Przemysl capitulated to the invest
ing Russian army The ending of
the long seige is considered of great
Importance. 1t gives Russia control
of virtually all OF eastern Galicia and
releases the Russian army which has
been beseicing the city, for service
elsewhere. Nothing since the capture
of l.emberg and the victorious sweep
of the Russians through Galicia in the
beginning OF the war has aroused
such enthusiasm. The fater Of the
fortress has been inevitable since the
failure of the Austrians to drive from
the southward for it's relief.
Next Important Development.
There have been daily evidences
of shortage of provisions and re-
ports of ravages of disease have
reached the beseigers frequently. 1t
is believed that the next important
development in Galicia will be new
Russian advance toward Cracow, the
Austrians having been virtually driv-
en- out Of the territory southwark as
far as the Carpathians. The garrison
surrendered without fight. The war
office reports that nine Austrian gen
erals, over 800 officers and 10000
men were taken.
