| Not in session. Meets again Mon- |
| day at 11 a. m. I
A proposition to oil the wheels of prog
ress was made in the house this morning.
The suggestion came in the shape of two
new bills, one requiring kerosene to be
colored red, when it is to be* sold within
the limits of the statue, and the other
providing for tha state inspection of gaso
lene. A third bill requires all cans con
taining kerosene, gasolene or benzine to
be colored red. and to have printed upon
them the name of their contents.
The gasolene bill, introduced by Mr.
Brown of St. Paul, requires retailers to
secure a state license for which they must
pay a $1 fee to the state oil inspector.
It also authorizes the inspector-to make
a semi-annual inspection of all gasolene
offered for sale and to collect a $1 fee in
each instance. Heretofore gasolene has
been inspected only upon its importation
into the state. The new law is expected
to do away with subsequent adulteration.
Representative Mork is the father of the
kerosene bill. His object in having the
oil colored red is to avoid all possibility
of consumers confusing it with gasolene
or other illuminats. However, the bill
will probably be fought by independent oil
companies which have been fighting the
Standard Oil trust and which have made
a point of turning out pure white oils.
A States Bug Hunt.
Representative Morley introduced a bill
which will be regarded with interest by
horticulturists. The bill authorizes the
entomologist of the state experimental
station to inspect all fruit farms, nurseries
and so forth and. if he finds them free
from plant disease and from ravage by in
sects to issue a certificate to that effect
for which he is empowered to collect a fee
of $5. Should he find disease, however, he
may establish a quarantine or even burn
the infected plants.*? trees or shrubs in
fected. He is also obligated to inspect all
trees, plants, vines, cuttings and buds im
ported into the state, the importation to
be forbidden except upon the granting of
a certificate. Refusal, on the part of any
citizen, to obey the restrictions imposed
is made a misdemeanor and punishable as
such.
To Screen Modest Prisoners.
Representative Randall sent up a bill
requiring the use of covered patrol
wagons in cities throughout the state,
the object being to shield offenders from
the morbid curiosity of street loiters.
Representative Stevenson introduced a
bill making incurable insanity a ground
for divorce.
A Columbia County Protest.
A protest was received from the resi
dents of Columbia county against the pas
sage of Representative Bennett's bills
prohibiting towns and counties from is
suing evidences of indebtedness, the val
idity of which has been questioned, until
all doubt has been dispelled, and legaliz
ing the filing of certain records in newly
organized counties, pending proceedings
begun to test the validity of their or
ganization. Both measures have been re
ported to pass by the judiciary commit
tee.
Speaker Babcock was called home last
night by the illness of his wife and P.
C. Deming presided over this morning's
session. The attendance was small, only
a bare quorum being present. For this
reason action upon the calendar was de
ferred until Monday.
Thirty-third Devision Approved.
On general orders, with Mr. Clague in
the chair, the Dunn bill dividing the
thirty-third religsativc district in two
representative districts was recommended
to pass.

A BILL THAT SUITS
Representatives of Grocers and of
Labor Agree on Terms of Gar
nishment Bill.
Bill Before Legislature Will Prob
ably Be Urged With Only
Slight Modifications.
ii \v\
The retail grocers and organized labor
interests have reached an agreement on
the garnishment bill no win both branches
the garnishment bill now In both branches
ence yesterday in St. Paul between Fred
Mason of St. Paul, secretary of the State
Retail Grocers and General Merchants'
association, and M. E. Neary and Mr.
Becker,. representing the legislation com
mittee of the State Federation of Labor.
They reached a basis of agreement which
is subject, however, to the approval of
the Labor Federation's full committee on
legislation, which will meet Sunday to
approve the proposition.
The labor representatives agreed not to
oppose the bill if it was amended in one
particular, so that the garnishment, at
tachment or execution should not be
made upon the wages of a minor for the
purpose of collecting a debt against the
minor's parents. The bill, which was
introduced in the senate by General
George P. Wilson, and in the house by
Mr. Soule, provides that not more than
$25 a month In wages shall be exempt.
At present the exemption is $25, but it
applies to each installment of salary, and
amounts to $25 a week.
PAY FOR DISEASED CATTLE
Secretary Bracken Thinks Present System
Should Be Changed.
A communication from Dr. H. M. Brack
en, secretary of the state board of health,
was read in the house this morning and
referred to the committee on public health.
In it the doctor discusses the law relating
to tuberculous cattle and suggests reforms.
Says hel
"I wish to draw your attention to the
very unsatisfactory condition of the state
law relative to tuberculosis in cattle. At
present the law provides for appraisal (not
to exceed $40) and compensation after the
disposal of the carcass and hide, one-third
to be borne by the state and one-third by
the township, the other third to be borne
by the owner. This is very hard, indeed,
upon the township. It would be much bet
ter if the question of settlement were be
tween the owner and the state, thus re
lieving the towship entirely. If such a
change were made, it seems to me the
owner and state should share equally in
the loss that is, the state should pay one
half the appraisal after deducting the
value of the carcass and hide. If the
state is thus made responsible for pay
ment of condemned cattle, it seems to
me the inspection should be in the hands
of the state alone. It is not reasonable
that parties without any financial respon
sibility should be permitted to inspect and
kill cattle that the state must pay for.
"We wish also to draw your attention
to the second tuberculin test. This is
unnecessary when the test is made by
I competent parties, for one test gives as
positive information as two. To compel
a farmer or dairyman .to hold his con
demned cattle sixty days or more for a
retest is a great hardship for him, caus
ing much annoyance and expense, and is
also a continuous source of danger so
far as spreading the infection is con
cerned.
"Incidentally we may state that we
think the protection given to those whose
cattle are killed after the tuberculin test,
should be extended also to those whose
,horses are killed after state inspection be
cause of glanders."
ROLE OF EXECUTIONER
Judiciary Committee Does to Death Two
Bills.
The bouse judiciary committee killed
two bills to-day. One was H. F. 130, the
Rider bill, requiring the state to pay costs
of trials for murders committed on a
train. The other was H. F. 223, provid
ing punishment for disclosing the facts
as to indictments by grand juries.,
Two bills were recommended to pass,
the Deming bill, requiring close identifi
cation of judgment debtors, and the Bard
well bill, relating to service of summons
in cases of forcible entry and unlawful
detainer.
Hennepin Delegation In the House Must
Pass on Them Again. '
The $150,000 permanent improvement
bonds are held up again in the hands- of
the Hennepin delegation. When the sen
ate bill legalizing the issue was reported
into the house this morning, Mr. Shearer
moved its passage under suspension of the
rules, but Mr, Smith objected, and said
the bill should take its regular course. It
was, therefore, referred to the Hennepin
delegation. A meeting was "held after ad
journment of the house, but as there was
not a full attendance, no action was
taken.
BONDS HELD UP
Normal School Committees.
"The house and senate normal school
committees returned yesterday from a
trip to the Winona and Mankato normal
schools. Next week they will visit the
Institutions ,at St. Cloud and Moorhead.
% An Electrocution BUI.
'Captain Ray T. Lewis of Duluth is pre
paring to introduce a bill in the house to
substitute electrocution for hanging as
a means of inflicting capital punishment
in Minnesota. His bill will also provide
for the complete isolation of criminals
under sentence of death.
County Division Bill.
Mr. Cole's county division bill, provid
ing that only one division proposition may
b voted on at a time, is recommended
for passage by the house committee on
towns and counties. The committee
amended it to make the minimum size of
a county 1,800 square miles. . . -,
GREAT NORTHERN DIGS U P
Sends in Items Check for - Additional
Which Have Escaped
Taxation. - ,"
Public Examiner S. T. Johnson has an
other Check from the Great Northern
Railway company, for taxes on earnings
which have escaped notice in the past
six years. The payment was for receipts
from baggage and freight storage, and
aggregated $1,606.57 from the Great
Northern, the \yillmar & Sioux Falls,
and the Eastern Minnesota. "
The Burlington has forwarded a report
showing gross earnings from express
transportation between May. 1899. and
Dec. 31, 1901, of $12,142.60. The company
has paid taxes on $6,302:40, arid will now
pay a 3 per cent tax, amounting to $175.21
on the remainder.
Gross earnings taxes for 1902 were re
ported to the state auditor yesterday as
follows:
Wisconsin CentralGross earnings $221,100.58.
of which .$165,943 was from freight and $45,000
from passenger service. The tax at 3 per cent
is $6,633.2. In 1001 the gross earnings were
$184,254, and .the tax $5,527.62.
Minneapolis EasternGross earnings, from
switching and demurrage all in Minneapolis,
$69,520.37 tax at 3 per cent, $2,097. In 1901

and paid a tax of S2.049.96.
Winona BridgeGross earnings, $10,938.76
ta- at 3 per cent. $328.16 in 1901 the company
, reported gross earnings as $10,096.77. and paid
a tax of 2 per cent, amounting to $210.93.
Rea l Estate
CHANCES SLIP AWAT
Moneyed Residents Seem Not to Un
derstand Opportunities, Says
Edmund G. Walton.
Improvements on Nicollet Made by
Non-residentsDuty of the
Real Estate Man.
Edmund G. Walton in a conversation
regarding the duties of the officers of
the real estate board and the position tak
en that every member should be willing
to do committee work or quit, said to
day:
"We have among us men- worthy of
recognition in any of the big business
centers, and able to hold their own under
any circumstances. It is said of us in
N ew York, Boston and Chicago that
Minneapolis has more highly educated and
keen, clear-headed real estate men than
any city of its size in the United States.
"The city," although growing to a won
derful extent, is still unfortunately not
even fairly understood by her own
moneyed residents. Third in the United
States in the number of building permits
issued in 1902, we still find it almost im
possible to interest local money in our
building enterprises. On Nicollet avenue,
for instance, from Washington to Sev
enth street how much properey owned by
residents has been improved in the
last few years? Out of 3,300 feet of front
age, 2,295 is owned by residents of Mih- |
neapolis and only 1,005 feet by outsiders,
and yet it is the outsiders who have put
in new fronts, built new buildings and
pushed improvements. I
"To my knowledge no single resident
owner of Nicollet avenue frontage has'
awakened to the fact that Nicollet ave
nue has no equal as a retail street in this
country. They have none such in Ne w
York, for Fifth avenue, in all its glory,
cannot show eight continuous blocks on
both sides of the street of beautiful
show windows resplendent with art.
Broadway, with its street cars cannot.be
classed with Nicollet for a minuted Look
at Washington street in Boston or State
street in Chicago. What are they com
pared with Nicollet? Go to St. Louis
New Orleans, Cincinnati, San Francisco,
Kansas City or St. Paul. All you find is
a broken up retail center without base
or cupalo. It is only in London and
Paris besides New York that you find
long, continuous streets. This goes to
show that in original design, at least, we
are destined to be their equal.
"Ten years ago our bank clearances
averaged in rough numbers $6,000,000 a
week with a population of 165.000 peo
ple. Now we average $12,000,000 a week
with a population certainly not less than
250,000. And yet outside of a very lim
ited circle, real estate values are the same
as -ten years ago. A week or so ago we
were talking about the high price of the
corner of Seventh and Hennepin, just sold
at $500 a foot.N More than this was paid
fifteen years ago for the corner of Tenth
and Hennepin, now occupied by the pub
lic library. Sixteen, years ago Nicollet
avenue frontage between Eighth and
Ninth strets sold,for $1,000 a foot and the
corner of Fourth and Nicollet, now oc
cupied by the A. D. T. company, for $3,000
a foot. Clifton .avenue property sold
readily at $200 a foot and when LOwry hill
was opened, just ten years ago, its choice
corners went nearly at $120 a foot.
"These facts, and the reason we are not
doing the same to-day, is because we our
selves have lost the confidence of our
tw moneyed residents. Why, I know
not, but it is a fact that outside of a very
few, including such men as S. T. Afc
Knight. L. .S. Gillette and Judge Gilnllan,
it seems impossible to interest local capi
talists.
"Only two weeks ago I knew of a case
where a well-known citizen appeared at
his bank with his statement wishing to
borrow a few thousand. His statement
showed mortgages receivable amounting
to $62,000, and clear real estate, much of
it income-bearing, amounting to $140,000,
and yet the cashier of that bank, in
granting the loan, said the only bad part
about the statement was that it was all
real estate or securities on real estate.
"Real estate is the best thing on earth
because it is earth. A greater part of the
assets of any railroad company are its
terminals and roadbed. No steamship
company is any good without docks no
city is any good without building , and no
man, without a home yet this higher
education of bank clerks seems to try and
teach them that all these are not deserv
ing of credit without a bill of lading or a
certificate with a gold stamp.
"What we fellows want to do, then, is
to fall in line and stick gotd stamps all
over our warranty deeds, push the Torrens
system of registration for all we are
worth, and make our bankers understand
that our assets are the original basis of
things, that without us the world is
naught that we, in fact, are superior to
banks, for we have what they have not,
good old mother earth they are our
tenants, we are the landlords, and in times
like these we should do the talking and
they the listening. Let us educate our
children, as w c were educated, to want to
possess a home, and our children will bless
us for the thought and continue to keep
this great country of ours in the first place
among nations."

THE ISAHOrWYOiUK/d OIL CO. HAS NOT

price. We are still selling at 10c straight and
shall continue to do BO until March l8t. unless
we get positive instructions to tbe contrary.
When those'instructions
INSTEUCTION
know apo: we:
have. We may get a telegram advancing
the price any'minute and they may let us
continue to sell at the old price till March lt-t.
We want- to tell you something that is
strictly, confidential. Don't smile for it is
confidential and no company would tell it
whlfih Jiad- anything to. conceal. White & Sou,
our agents at Boston, are a brother and nep
hew of our iormer-.innnager and they have in
vested $1,000 each in "our stock. We sup
posed when we fieard that they had advanded
the price-that It had merely gone to 15c. but
we have' received a copy of their prospectus
and judge of our astonishment upon learning
tbSt they are seEflng at 35 cents
straight,' no discounts, and that t&ey
bave - already . secured nearly 10"-
stockholders. What do you think f that?
HAS THERE BEEN A MISTAKE MADE AX1
IF so. WHO iLis MADE IT? is IT THK
COMPANY, WHITE & SON" OR THIS OF-
FICE? It certainly looks as though someone
Bad got mixed'oh prices. Are we to blame?
Have we misunderstood their figures and
should this slock be selling now at 35c instead
of 10c? SVho knows? We don't. We bavw
not hoard from the company this week and
while we are satisfied that there has been
some mistake made yet' we are not satisfied
that this office' has made it. On the con
trary we are convinced that-it is either the
company or White &-!Son. ' _
' 'Again It i just rpossible,
said-
and now'-we ask1
TEACHER"
forriierlys . that they thinkas the stoc i far
too-low it 10c per share. They have been
all] over the oil fields and know all about UP.
They know what, onr chances are tn get oil.
They, have be*n to Boise and Pocatello. Idaho,
and know our officers apd directors. Tbcy
know of should- know what the company**
ptlce is and that the Minneapolis offive to
selling at 10c. We know, that they have re
peatedly' objected to the .low. price of the
stock and that they, have said they thought
S5c. a reasonable price for^it arid our President
Shaw estimates its value as 50c per share at
least. In fact, they 'know all about, us and
thev are actually selling stock right now in
Boston at S5c per snare. If you doubt this
write to White'&* Co., Pembcrton building.

Let lis'stop "and take a long-breath nc.it

condition, of affairs? Wc do not know any
more than von do.- We have not received
positive instructions to" advance the price and
we are going to contlmie selling at 10c per
share tlH we do. Wl you hesitate longer
about sepdlng In-an order at 10c. per share?
.We have said several times that you would
see the price jump and Jump hard in the ne*t
few week* and it looks as though It might
jump to 35c per share. Really we should not
be very mU'.'h surprised to see it go to that
figure any dav. When we were out .est-in
November we tpld the company of the peculiar
conditions existing here and it is just pos
sible that they are favoring us a little. We
think the most' reasonable hyflothesis, - how-
ever," is that someone has got mixed on figures
and prices, but just who that someone is is a
question. Anyhow" we are going to fill all
orders at 10c that come" in before March 1st.
unless we receive positive instructions to ad
vance the pfiee. sooner. '
Now either yon are gettiBg a great big
snap or tbe Boston stockholders are paying
more for fiaelr"stock than they should. 'We
do not think that this office has misnndr
Rfobd anything and if White ft Co. bare that
is their business not ours, or if the company
has made a mistake in thejr communication to
u that is not bur' business cither. We have
