t$ I
Dr. N. J. Pinault of Mount Ourve'ave
nue formerly paid taxes on assessed
valuation of a few thousand dollars.
Then the Wainwright robbery occurred,
revealing the possession of rare treas
ure and relics, gems and plate. Now
Dr. Pinault has been honored with a
personal property assessment of $254,-
000 by City Assessor Minor. Of this
sum, $200,000 represents "credits."
namely bonds, shares of stock, etc. The
remainder of $54,000 covers jewelry,
household goods, wearing apparel, etc.
George M. Bleecker appeared before
the board of equaliaztion today to pave
the board of equalization today to pave
the assessment He explained that Dr.
Pinault's legal residence was at Pass
Christian, Miss., and that a personal
property assessment in Minneapolis was
illegal. Some of his effects had been
taken to Minneapolis at the time of the
yellow-fever scare in the Bouth. Mr.
Bleecker explained that Dr. Pinault
would not return to the city for a while,
and asked that the matter of the as
sessment be kept open until such a time
as he could appear. This request was
granted.
No Stanley Hall Assesment.
An arbitrary assessment against
Olive A. Evers of $4,000 was canceled
at her request, and after explaining
that everything she owned was in Stan
ley Hall, which, as an educational in
stitution, was exempt from taxation,
under the Stryker decision.
Assessor Minor, when he heard of
this action, made a vigorous protest and
urged that the assessment be allowed to
stand and that Miss Evers be allowed
to take an appeal to the courts. He
made the point that the institution was
conducted for gain and was a valuable
asset, whioh should pay its proportion
of the taxes. The board declined to
reconsider its action unless Mr. Minor
could show that Miss Evers owned prop
erty not in anywise connected with the
school.
Several smaller assessments were can
celled or reduced. Among them was
one against Caroline Hall, who was asfrom
sessed $400 for credits. Police Cap
tain Henry L. Getchell, who appeared
in the woman's behalf, explained that
the credit had been wiped out and that
the woman, who was a widow of an old
soldier, was without means.

BOY PLAYING WITH
POWDER BADLY BURNED
Harry Biraiek, the 18-year-old son
of James Bimiek, living at Clinton ave
nue and Lake street, was seriously in
)ttred Saturday evening while experi
menting with fireworks left over from
tneFourth.
The boy had taken the powder from
all the unused fireworks and had placed
it under a ean. While stooping over the
can the powder ejfplpded^ setting fire
nis clothing and burning his face
?he
nd body. It was thought at first that
injuries would be fatal, but the
boy recovered rapidly after being at
tended by a physician. He is still in a
precarious condition, but he will re
cover unless blood poison develops.
FIRECRACKER REGULATED
Council Committee Recommends Ordi
nance Safeguarding Explosives.
Alderman Starkweather's ordinance
regulating the manufacture and sale of
fireworks was recommended for pas
sage by the council committee on fire
department, at its jnceting yesterday.
The ordinance witl prohibit the man
ufacture of fireworks in any building
within 100 feet of other structures.
Wholesale stocks may be stored outside
of the fire limits in buildings having
a free space of at least twenty-five feet
on each side.
This is a concession to the dealers,
who sent a strong delegation to the
committee to look after their interests.
They declared that if the 100-foot lim
it was insisted upon they would suffer
heavily. Retail stores may have fire
works about the premises only between
June 20 and July 15.

STORM YERDIGT REVERSED
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT
OF APPEALS DECIDES AGAINST
ST. PAUL FIRM I N TORNADO
CASE. The United States circuit court of ap
peals has handed down a decision re
versing the nndgment of the trial court
in the Ramsey county case of George R.
Finch against the Maryland Casualty
company of Baltimore.
The decision practically holds that
the big storm which damaged the twin
cities on Aug. 20, 1904, was a tornado.
At that time the building of Finch,
Young & McConville was damaged con
siderably and the automatic sprinkler
pipes were tfroken so that the building
and stock were flooded. Suit for $25,-
000 damages was brought against the
insurance company. The defease was
that the damage was caused by a torna
do and that the company was not liable,
a clause in the contract exempting the
company event of damage by tor
nado.
Much expert evidence as to storms
was introduced. The court reaches the
conclusion that the storm was a torna
do as the term is generally understood,
and that for thiB reason the original
trial judge should have granted a mo
tion to direct a verdict for the defend
ant insurance company. The judg
ment reversed by the decision was for
$20,225.
HOT? NOT SO BAD AS
SOME OTHER HOT DAYS
Notwithstanding the expressed opin
ion of 90 per cent of the residents of
Minneapolis, yesterday was not the
hottest day of the season. According
to the thermometer at the weather bu
reau, 88 degrees was the maximum
registered, while on June 28 the gov
ernment thermometer climbed two de
grees higher, the mercuiy perching on
the 90-degree round.
Probably the reason that so many
Minneapolitans are complaining of the
heat may be found in the statement
that it is unusually hot considering the
season of the year. Last year, on
July 9, the maximum temperature was
only 75 degrees, while a year ago to
day the thermometer showed only 3
degrees hotter. At 1 o'clock today
the official thermoscope registered 82
degrees.
A small-sized hurricane swept over
St. Paul early last evening, taking
trees and windows in its flight and
blowing chimneys and a roof or two
cottages at Bald Eagle lake. Lo
cal weather authorities are inclined to
sooff at the sensational reports which
have emanated from St. Paul, and
maintain that the story was simply a
severe thunderstorm felt in St. Paul
to a greater extent than in Minneapolis.
More rain fell in St. Paul, but the
weather observers see nothing out of
the ordinary in the storm, and promise
that fair weather will continue indefin
itely.
Phoenix, Ariz., was easily the hottest
place in the United State3 yesterday,
with a maximum temperature of 108.
Other places on the Rocky mountain
slope registered extreme heat, but at no
otheT place in the country did the mer
cury reach the 100 point.
CONTRAGTS LET FOR
TWO NEW STEAMBOATS
Former Governor S. B. Van Sant,
who, the greater part of his life, has
been engaged in upper Mississippi river
traffic, has demonstrated his faith in
his statement that the era of the river's
greatness is just dawning by today
awarding contracts for two new steam
ers to be added to his fleet.
My awarding of contracts today for
two new steamers," said the former
governor today, "i a demonstration of
my belief that the day of the river's
greatness is just beginning. I have no
fear that my boats will not have all,
and even more, than they can pos
sibly do."
Tne two new Van Sant steamers are
to be built at the Wabasha shipyard.
The largest boat will be a successor to
the Musser, one of the most service
able boats on the river in its day. The
new boat will be 140 feet long, with
30-foot beam. It will be used, on its
completion next spring, for towing, but
will be so constructed that it may be
easily changed to do a short-line pack
age trade.
It will be launched about April 1.
Owing to the increase in the price of
hardwood lumber and labor, the cost
will be nearly double what it would
have been ten years ago.
The second new Van Sant steamer
will be 105 feet long, with 26-foot
beim, and will be used as a bowboat
for the steamer North Star. It will be
one of the best bowboats on the river
and is to be completed in sixty days.
LOOS ARE FINE
Lumbermen Surprised at the Quality
of This Year's Out.
It is noticeable that the decrease
in the lumber cut this year is only
3.0,000,000 feet as against 50,000,000
feet last year.
Six plants are in operation in Min
neapolis this season, one less than last
year, the Nelson-Tuthill plant being
closed. The quality of the timber this
year is remarkable, lumbermen say, the
more so when it is considered that the
finest timber supposedly had been cut
Jimber
-ears ago. Lumbermen say that the
this season runs better on the
average than any season in the last
fifteen years.

QtD TIME MEETING
TO PICK NEW M. C.
CMOi P. CONVENTION SUGGESTED
BO PICK CONGRESSMEN.
The.Wrhtering oWuld Necessarily Have
to Be Informal, But if All Jarty Or
ganisations Agreed to Stand by the
Maiw Chosen He Would Be Nominat
ed. Plaam are seriously discussed in local
politi^tal circles for an informal old
time republican congressional conven
tion h# Hennepin county. The idea is
to briitoz the party workers from all
parts |i the county together to decide
upon a tfcd indorse the man who is found
to be the best and most available candi
date fete congress. This done, it is sug
gested What the party organizations
stand bbhind him and boost him tor
the nomination. This step is planned
as the boat solution of the congression
al prob]|am and where the plan has been
discusscW it has been favorably re
ceived.
Tho definite line of action has
been icvc|ided it is suggested that' the
republic jain organization in the county
would i\wm a proper basis for such an
informal convention. Each voting pre
cinct in phe county has a precinct com
mittee fffl five. With the other mem
bers of i\he county organization the to
tal in the formal organisation is about
800. In '^addition there are several
strong republican organizations that
might ber considered entitled to repre
sentation I
The R&5inet committeemen represent
workers ill every distriot in the city.
They Wiejrb elected with no view to
holding ,aWy such invention as is sug-
?airly
ested, aityd are believed to represent
ajn evenly the republican senti
ment of *$3 county. It is believed that
the plan, Uwmld be fair to all and would
be for thel best good of the party in
the count"*.
It has IWen urged that the precincts
casting btun few republican votes have
as full a representation on the county
orgamzat&oiis as the large republican
precincts, pmd that some plan should
be adopted whereby the strong repub
lican distribts could have a larger rep
resentation, in the convention if it is
called, fij. treply to this, it-has been
suggested tliat additional representa
tives could selected by the present
committeeman.
The congressional situation gives
promise of becoming involved. It is
believed thj|& Mr. Fletcher, despite his
promises of two years ago, will again
seek the nomination. A host of will
ing candidat{ps are waiting to see what
will turn b, and workers who want
to see a united party fear that many
unnecessary splits are likely to occur.
It is urged Jfchat the calling of an in
formal conyemtion before the campaign
is started wtjuld be a good thing for
the party. AJsaother plan that has been
suggested COJ (^templates a conference of
managers of the various candidates to
pick an avafHible man.

WASHBURN PRAISES G.A.R.
When the hosts of visitors, veter
ans and heir friends, begin to arrive
in Minneapolis next month, they will
find no more loyal welcome from any
source than will be extended by Sena
tor W. D. Washburn. Senator Wash
burn, who has been absent from the
city for the last six months, is enthu
siastic over the encampment and says
that neither time nor money nor ef
fort should be spared to make the Min
neapolis encampment the grandest in
the history of the Grand Army of the
Republic.
Speaking to the executive commit
tee of the necessity of providing plen
ty of pleasant accommodations for the
visitors, but more especially for the
veterans, Mr. Washburn said:
Everybody who possibly can should
open his doors to the visitors. I shall
be glad to entertain such guests as are
designated by the committee and will
try to make them comfortable with
every means at my command at Fair
Oaks. The visitors should be made to
feel that the city is th*r. We can
not do too much for the veterans."
The c^vass for rooms is proving suc
cessful. The women of the W. B. C.
are covering the city, and wherever
suitable accommodations can be se
cured, will list them and report them
to the executive committee.
The Ladies of the G. A. E. have
opened headquarters at 201 Andrus
building and will take active charge
of arrangements for their reunion,
which will be held in conjunction with
the Grand Army encampment. Mrs.
Mindie Barnum is in charge.
BUSINESS HEN WORK FOR
NEW POSTOFFICE SITE
Oommeicial club public affairs commit
tee will take an active part in bringing
about the selection of a suitable site
for the proposed new Minneapolis post
office. The public affairs committee
met today and appointed a committee
of three, consisting of F. E. Barney, A.
C. Danenbaum and George Bertrand, to
keep in touch with developments and
report to the committee from time to
time.
Sites were discussed and many sug
gestions offered by the committee. It
has been suggested that a commission
representing the large interests of the
has been suggested that a commission
representing the large interests of the
city should De formed to secure and pre
sent bids on sites to be offered. No
one person or firm can offer an entire
site suitable for the proposed building.
It is probable that many small holding
will have to be handled separately, and
with each woriring independently and
trying to make as much as possible de
lays may be occasioned.
It is believed that a commission rep
resenting the business interests of the
city could expedite matters by secur
ing options at the lowest possible fig
ure, and offering at once in one lump
sum an entire site to the government.
It is believed that this is the only way
the matter could be handled. The com
mission would work without expense to
the city or the government. Because
of its acquaintance with local affairs
it could determine a fair valuation on
all necessary property, and by means
or the commission the business could
be handled quicker and better than in
any other manner.
GOVERNMENT SAYS TIE
CROPS WILL BE BUMPERS
The government crop report for
July, sent from Washington late to
day, made a distinctly favorable im
pression in the grain and milling trade
xn every quarter where business activi
ty and the Pi^perit^r of the northwest
is discussed. Eailfoad men were iubi
lant over the good prospects shown for
heavy tonnage in the tall.
On June 1 the condition of spring
wheat was 93, and the government finds
the condition July 1 to have been 91.4,
a remarkably small decline. As the
weather since July 1 has been favor
able it is generally believed that if the
condition were taken todav it would
be found to be several points higher.
The showing assures a good crop for
the northwest, provided no damaging
weather comes before harvest.
In winter wheat there was a gain in
condition, a most unusual thing. Win
ter wheat on June 1 was 83, and the
government finds it to have been 85.6
on July 1.
Corn shows a stand of 87.5 against
87.3 a year ago and oats are placed at
84 against 86 in June.
A report on farm reserves of wheat,
July 1, will also be made by the gov
ernment later this afternoon. Last
year it was 4.4 per cent or 24,267*000
bushels. In the last six years it has
'ranged from 4.4 to 9.3 per cent, or 24,-
440,000 bushels, the latter representing
7 per cent in 1903. This year it is ex
pected to be 6.5 to 7 per cent. The for
mer will represent 45,000,000 bushels.
Ten per cent means 69,000.000 bushels.
"The United States should raise this
year the largest wheat crop in its his-
tory," said Honry L. Little of the
Pillsburg-Washburn company. "For
the northwest, Minnesota, North Da
kota and South Dakota, I believe the
present conditions warrant the expecta
tion of 225,000,000 bushels if present
conditions are maintained until harvest
time." BOY HERO RESCUES
TOT FROM DROWNING
Sheer presence of mind and heroic
action on th part of Horace Hurlbut.
the 15-yoar-old son of J. B. Hurlbut of
Des Moines, saved the life of little
George Philip of Chicago. The child
was playing on the steamboat dock at
Cottagewood, when he slipped and fell
into the water. The accident was seen
by no one but Horace Hurlbut, who im
mediately rushed to the lake and dove
after the child, rescuing him just before
he went down for the seoond time. The
parents of the bovs are spending the
summer at Cottagewood with their
children.
Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Jordan and
Miss Florence Murphy of New Orleans
left today for an automobile trip thru
the Dakotas. They will be away about
ten days.

ARCAPE-
ELK RIVER BURGLARS
SOUGHT IN MINNEAPOLIS
Police Superintendent Doyle received
word today to arrest two men who
broke into the postoffice at Elk Biver.
Minn., late last night and stole about
$20 in stamps and cash.
When the postmaster went into the
office today everything was in confu
sion. A drawer in which some stamp
books were kept had been rifled. The
robbers escaped.
Two tramps were seen hanging about
the town all day yesterday, and they
were ordered out of town last night,
but it is thought they came back and
committed the robbery. A good de
scription of the men has been given to
Sheriff Ward of Sherburne county, and
to Superintendent Doyle of Minneapo
lis. Sheriff Ward thinks the men came
toward the twin cities.
