REASONS WHY MY MOTHER SHOULD USE A BUCK'S STEEL RANGE: I. It Is the most durable. Heavy one-piece bodies protected where heat is most intense with asbestos board, and extra heavy ovens in all grades insure every Buck's Range be- ing thoroughly durable. II. It Is the most eoonomical In operation. Heavy asbestos board prevents outward radiation where heat is not needed, and in consequence no neat is wasted. III. Its superior ovens. One weight, and that the heaviest, is used in all grades. The buckle-proof bottom does away with the necessity for using bolts and rivets in oven bot- toms, always insuring a smooth bottom. IV. The quickest bakers. The ovens are sufficiently heavy that asbestos protection is not necessary on top, which prevents quick results in ovens in general. White enamel, the best known non-conductor of heat used for this purpose, is used for lining oven doors, retaining much heat in the oven that is usually absorbed by the door and radiated outward. V. The Moderate Prioe. ' Their being but one grade, so far as weight and quality of ovens and bodies is concerned, a medium or low priced Buck's is always the equal of the highest grade of any other line made. FLORENCE M.

EAST SIDEBS OUT They Convinoe Mayor Haynes That They Want Main Street Cleaned Up. v Mayor Suggests First StepTickets for the Banda Rossa En gagement Sold. Poisoning. Miss Hilda Williams aged 20 was found dead in her bed at 2201 Washington ave nue N early this morning An empty three-ounce bottle which had contained cough syrup, was found by her bedside Death, the coioner says, resulted from narcotic poisoning Miss Williams had been suffering from a severe cough and bought a bottle of the medicine last night Early this morn ing her cousin's wife, with whom she roomed, found the girl dead Deputy Coroner Irvine after a careful examina tion decided that death was due to nar cotic poisoning, the effect of the cough medicine , It is thought Miss Williams found that the medicine did not give her relief when taken according to directions and that she sipped it until the bottle was empty The regular dose for adults is one-eighth of an ounce or one teaspoonful, every three hours Miss Williams should have taken according to directions about thi ee eighths of an ounce in the time that elapsed befoie she was found but instead she took three full ounces Dr Irvine is puzzled to know why the svrup should have caused death There are only about twelve drops of chloro form in three ounces of the preparation and the other drugs are not thought to have been used In sufficient quantities to cause fatal results An autopsy will be held Miss Williams' parents live at Taylors Falls but she had been a waitress in Minneapolis two years Mayor James C Haynes attended a mass meeting at the East high school last evening and expressed himself as being convinced that the residents of the East Side wished the Main street dives closed. He said that it was im possible to gm. rid of dives entirely, but they could be put where they would not be so prominent He was unwilling to use his arbitrary power for such a pur pose until assured that public sentiment would support him Mr Haynes announced himself as eai nestly in favor of the park proposition and suggested that the block between the International Auditorium, the East high school and the Pillsbury library be se cured first The park board had veiy little money with which to purchase land, but nevertheless the work of improve ment must begin at once He suggested also that a definite understanding be se cured with M W Savage so that there would be a guaranty that the park pro posed by him would be permanent Dr Cyrus Northrop of the state uni S-erslty presided and made a few remarks advocating the measures in which that section of the olty is so greatly inter ested A stirring speech was made by the Rev G L Morrill He stated his belief that the proposed improvements would not only be a good advertisement for the city, as it would beautify a prom inent section which is now most unsight ly but would enhance the value of the surrounding real estate The meeting adopted resolutions urg ing the administration to close the houses of ill fame on Main street and recom mending that the block between the Fills bury library, the high school and the auditorium be secured for park purposes At the close of the evening the Rev Mr Morrill sold Banda Rossa tickets by the wholesale, disposing of over 3,000 Up to last evening over 11,500 tickets had been sold The meeting was well attended there being several hundred leading citizens present to testify to their approval of the proposed park and the crusade against the dives MONEY FOB PAYING City Realizes $310,000 From the Sale of BondsCash Is Available.

This was opening day at the university, and the campus presented an animated appeal ance as three thousand students went to and from their classes The work was principally confined to registration and assignment of work, no recitations being held The chief event was President North rop's address in chapel, in which he wel comed all and gave the new and old stu dents wholesome wopds of advice Chapel was crowded with the new students anx ious for the first glimpse of their presi dent, who chose for his subject ' Life for us all is what we make it ' He spoke of the environments of the university, which were so conducive to the forma tion of character and which played such a prominent part In the students' every day life He admonished the fieshmen to start right by attending strictly to their duties as students not allowing any outside pleasures to interfere with such work The usual admonition to refrain from class organization was^glven to the freshmen and they were cautioned against using the university buildings for class rushes and contests President Northrop deplored the lack of suitable accommodations around the uni versity for the young ladies, and hoped that before another year a dormitory of some kind might be built The registration so far has reached 2 175 and still the rush continues There was a long line in front of the registrar's office at noon Work on Athletic Field.

City Can Also Double Volume of Water at 'Haha FallsEx- pense Slight. At an expense of a few thousand dol lars Hennepin county can drain 1,000 acres of swamp land, regulate the water level of Cedar Lake, Lake of the Isles, Lakes Calhoun and Harriet to any height desired, double the amount of water pass ing over Minnehaha Falls and do away with an expensive sewer for the drainage of Bassett's creek thru North Minneap olis F M Henry, a local civil engineer, has discovered all these possibilities and makes the suggestion, amply backed b\ topographical data to show that it is practicable, tho no survey for the ex press purpose has been made Mr Henry would accomplish the re sults stated by means of a drainage ditch diverting Bassett's creek at Golden Val ley and carrying it, as shown in the ac companying map, a distance of three and a half miles to Cedar lake According to the United States topographical sur vey, which is recent and the most ac curate information possible to obtain, Bas sett's creek at the point indicated is about thirty-six feet higher than the level of Cedar lake This would give a fail of ten feet to the mile, which would carry the waters of the creek easily and with out the necessity of a very large ditch The total cost of this ditch, Mr Henry estimates, would not be more than $6,000 or $7,000 A short ditch would connect Cedar lake with Lake of the Isles, and by its means the height of Cedar lake could be abso lutely regulated the surplus going into Lake of the Isles In like manner, after bringing Lake of the Isles up to the proper level, it could be drained by the aid of a short ditch into Lake Calhoun By raising the level of Calhoun, it would be made to discharge into Lake Harriet again by the surface channel and this could be dammed so as to regulate the height of Calhoun Good Thing for 'Haha. Eventually the surplus water would find its way into Minnehaha creek and as Bassett's creek carries to-day practically as muoh water as Minnehaha it would result in doubling the flow over Minne haha Falls and greatly increasing its beauty The total cost of all the work, Mr Henry says would not exceed $12,000 The practical nature of this improve ment becomes more apparent as the prop osition is studied It is of great impor tance to Minneapolis that the four lakes in the proposed chain be preserved None of them are now fed by streams of any size, and lakes depending on springs or small surface streams have been drying up In Minnesota for a number of years It is shown by actual measurement that all of these four lakes are becoming lower each year Ramsey county is now pre serving the level of White Bear lake, and St Paul of Como lake, by pumping watei in This is a very expensive and unre liable way of filling the lakes but Minne apolis will be compelled to follow suit in a very short time unless some surface supply is found for them Mr Henry's suggestion would give them an ample feed Bassett's creek drains Medicine lake, a body of water three miles long and draining a basin of twenty-two or twenty-three square miles This gives a steady flow of water, and the creek is oidlnarily the same size as Minnehaha, flowing all the year around Bassett s creek is now a burden to Min neapolis instead of a blessing It trav erses the third ward for a distance of three miles and for all that distance It is now carried by a wooden frame sewer This is growing old, and in the near fu ture, if the stream continues its present course, the sewer must be enclosed in an immense brick work large enough to permit it to carry off the spring floods This would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars By diverting the creek at Golden Valley only a little surface rain water would have to be carried thru this sewer and it would be nearly dry a part of the year It would not only save th*s city money, but would be a benefit to property along the stream There might be some claims for compensation from Golden Valley farmers along the stream and below the point where it is proposed to divert it, but if there was any dam age to them it would be more than com pensated by the benefits to city prop erty and to lands along the line of the proposed ditch Big Swamp Drained. West of the city limits and along the line of Superior avenue is a big swamp, under water most of the time, and the proposed ditch would drain directly thru it, carrying off the standing water and making about 1,000 acres of the swamp fertile farm land This incidental benefit would go a long way toward paying the cost of the ditch Mr Henry is of the opinion that any one of the three principal benefits, taken alone, would amply Justify the work The ditches could be put in for a small part of the cost of the three and a half miles of sewer for Bassett's creek, and once built, they could be maintained at small cost on account of the rapid fall in the long stretch from Golden Valley to Cedar lake Asdie from the matter of dollars and cents there are the important questions ot Preserving i beautiful chain of lakes tractiveness of the city's star acenio at traction, Minnehaha Falls.
