PROPOSAL TO BRING HERMANN
MONUMENT TO MINNEHAHA
• 7 PARK V
PRESENT LOCATION TOO REMOTE
Citizens of New Uim Will Object,
foot the Order at Large Will 7
Probably Approve the
— -- Scheme,' ' .
■-7:7; ':':-7—_ " . "
The magnificent and; stately raonuraant
of Hermann, erected by the • Sons of
Hermann of the ". United States at. New
Uim, 'a_,d which was so successfully dedi
cated in that city Sept.; 26, % ISIJ7, may be
■removed to the Twin Cities.
The lodges of the Sons of . Il.rmann
of - St. Paul and Minneapolis, !as well as
those throughout the states, have dis
cussed the question ' for some time and
the movement will probably, take definite
shape during the \ next few months. Tn
speaking of the matter last evening, sev
eral members of the St. Paul lodges ad
vocated the idea of removing it to Mi
nehaha park, midway between the two
cities and a" point of easy access to all
who may visit .. the Northwest. Tha
statement was made that, located at
New Uim its magnificence and -beauty
were lost and hardly appreciated, and it
was seen bat by few victors from other
states and cities, who would hardly feel
like taking., a trip |to New Uim simply
for this purpose, while, if located at
Minnehaha park, it would be seen by.
every visitor to the Northwest, as they
would naturally have to come to the
Twin Cities anyway, and that at its'
present location it would hardly be seen
by one out of fifty of the strangers 'who
come to our gates. While. the question,
is now simply being discussed, the mem
bers of the order about town .say that
the project will undoubtedly meet with
the approval of -a sufficient number of
the members to bring it to. a successful
end. Minnehaha park would certainly
be a splendid v location and .. tho monu
ment in all its glory and-splendor would
be an addition to this beautiful spot that
would attract any visitor coming to St
Paul or Minneapolis.
The monument was built at New Uim
;by the Sons of Hermann of the United
States and was dedicated at the annual
session, of the national body at that
place, Sunday, Sept. - 26, 1897. It was
built in commemoration of Hermann,
from whom the Sons of Hermann take
their title and who in the first century
freed the Germans from the tyranny, of
the Romans and defeated Varus, their
leader. The day -of the celebration was
a great day for New Uim, the city being
filled with hosts of visitors li-om abroad,
and practically all the Germans of St.
Paul, Minneapolis and the state at
large.
Of course, it is expected New Uim will
make a strong fight against the .removal
of the monument, but the order general
ly may possibly overcome their objec
tions and receive the consent of its
citizens, especially when it is taken;into
consideration that the monument will
thus receive so _ much attention, which
will be of incalculable value to the or
der/ 'V - .v- ■

AT THE MEETING LAST
' -_V 7 NIGHT. -
FOR BETTER CAB 7 SERVICE
Assemblymen Whitcomb' and** Nelson
7-"' Introduce Ordinances for. tho
_. - Convenience of Longr-Snf-
; erlngr Oar Patrons.
Anticipated action on the lax budget
by - the .assembly last evening; failed of
consummation/ '■ Some ■ of '. the members
did not feel prepared" to take j immediate
action, and - the matter was postponedr
until Monday evening. -
7 P.eport was current yesterday, that the
assembly would pass the ? budget ; entire
as . left; by the board of _ aldermen, but j
there; has sir.cc been $a : change of i mind
owing to heavy pressure from the Cham
ber .of Commerce and other 1 interested
bodies. -.'..-'■ ■' v : '•*"-.'. ■"•' ' : j':;."'': : ;{-
The change of mind is on several items
that the committee - from the j Chamber
of Commerce object to, ; and it is this
that may yet precipitate a tedious delay
in the final approval of the budget. "7
Street car matters were about ;; the
heaviest ' items In the grist of business
handled . last evening, the most Import
ant measure being an ordinance ; intro
duced by Assemblyman Whitcomb pro
viding for the establishment -of a new
street car time card, in' which the last
car should be run over the line not later
than 1 o'clock in the morning. ; The sched
ule is : arranged for the Rice : and Con
cord,' Rice and State, and Mississippi and
West St. Paul lines. The measure is a
compromise for Aid. Hunt's ordinance
which met defeat. "'.'• '■■'"'-
Assemblyman Nelson added his voice
in the general cry for better street car
service by the introduction ;of his "no
seat-no-far * ordinance, making it a
finable offense for a conductor to demand
a fare when a seat cannot be provided.
The two measures were referred to the
committee on streets. :
The final step toward the condemnation
and securing of the Constans' site on
Jackson street for market house purpose
was taken in the passage of a resolution
authorizing such and instructing the
commission selected to proceed and as
sess damages.
A communication asking the passage
of a resolution : making . mandatory the
employment of -St Paul residents '• and
teams in public works was referred to
the streets' committee.
was taken in the action of,
the board of aldermen in pledging $5,000
for the purchase and improvement of
the Auditorium for convention purposes.
Representatives. of the Commercial club
were present to Intercede in its' behalf,
but action was taken without pressure.
In the hope that action would be taken
on the budget a; number of the members
of the Second Ward Improvement club
were present; to plead for the item 7 of
$25,000 for an extension to the Third street
bridge. At the close .of the meeting
they directed their, attention to the mem
bers individually and labored in an at
tempt to secure promises.

BEET INDUSTRY IS GROWING.
Minnesota's Soil Is Adapted for
Growing a Good. Quality.
L. L. Wheelock,. state - Inspector of the
sugar beet* Industry at the St. Louis
Park factory, has submitted his annual
report to State Auditor Dunn. ~::i-7. .*
According to the report during the sea
son of 1900, the factory received from the
farmers of the state 29,341,151 pounds of
sugar beets. lowa furnished 8,802,323
pounds, and Wisconsin 9,826.59.
The factory manufactured from 'the
Minnesota beets 1,992,356 pounds of sugar,
and 664,106 pounds were manufactured
from, the beets furnished by the neigh
boring states. ThLs is 2,633,462 pounds.
The factory was in operation seventy-five
days. ....
. The inspector ' says in a special re
port to the auditor tha,t he is firmly con
vinced that the beet sugar industry has a
great future in this state. As good a
quality of beets can be grown throughout
Minnesota :as almost anywhere in: the
country, because of the soil and the cli
mate. -..- It has been proven by 3 actual
experience that the cut over pine and
hard wood timber lands in the northern
and central portions of the ! state will
produce the finest quality of beets.
There . have - been many inquiries from
people all over the state relative to the
new industry. -_■ These inquiries represent
every county in the state. The growth
of -the • industry in this state is fully
shown by the fact that in 1898 the factory
received 22,000,000 pounds of beets, and in
. 1899 * 42,871,080 pounds. The farmers had
contracted .- for 1900 to furinlsh 52,000,000
pounds, and the shortage of about 1,000,000
below last year's amount was - due to the
drouth. ;/ The '■;.. acreage was . larger - than
