W. Regan has been highly honored by the Bread Bakers' National Association, having to-day1 It Will Be the Semi-Centennial of the City's Chris- tening. The year 1854 is an important one in the history of Minneapolis This was the year in whichJ Charles Hoag, a former school teacher and one of the pioneers of Hennepin countv, merged the classic Greek and the barbarous Sioux and evolved the name Minneapolis, which he proposed for the hamlet on the west side of St Anthony falls It was in this year that congress ordered that the Fort Snelling military reservation be reduced and allowed settlers to take claims near the falls, altho it was not until 1855 that the squatters," among whom were Colonel Stevens, Isaac Atwater, Dr A Ames, Charles Hoag, were able to prove up their claims It was in the year 1854, according to the sketch In the city year book, that the original town of Minneapolis was surveyed and platted, but the plats for some reason or other were not recorded until the following year Lumbering as one of the corner stones of Minneapolis prosperity dates from this year, the first mill being built just below the falls in 1854 Many other important and epoch making events may have occurred in that year, but the Incidents referred to are sufficient to make the year memorable This naturallv suggests some proper public observance While the present site of Minneapolis was occupied as early as 1849, it was not until the pioneers realized that the government was about to reduce the old military reservation that the town really took Its beginning, and this was in 1854 So next year Minneapolis may celebrate her golden jubilee and there are still a number of the original "squatters" here to assist It has been suggested that there be some sort of a big celebration along the line of the harvest festival of a dozen years ago, but with special features appropriate to the semi-centennial It is likely that the Commercial Club will give this suggestion some consideration In tjie near future as the old timers are always keen to observe golden jubilees -4 FINE TAX TITLE POINT The Goodnow Mandamus Case Involves Exceedingly Nice Constructions of Law.

A county auditor's duty in certifying deeds to property secured on a tax title and against which there are unpaid taxes for years prior to the tax sale is a subject on which there is an honest difference of opinion, not only in Hennepin, but other counties The question will be decided Aug 29, when Goodnow writ of alternative mandamus against County Auditor Scott is returnable "It is -not, to my mind, a question of law," said a local attorney interested In the cape "It is rather a question of the Interpretation and the application of the. law The supreme court has held that a tax title has the effect of cancelling unpaid taxes for years prior to the date of securing said title But the statute provides that the county auditor shall not certify a deed to the register of deeds until all back taxes have been paid It says nothing about canceling taxeB That is not properly an executive function, and the auditor should not be asked to assumfe the grave responsibility of canceling taxes and certifying deeds on which the back taxes have never been paid "I do not believe a mandamus should issue compelling the auditor to certify such a deed Mr Goodnow remedy and that of every one who is in a like predicament should be to apply for a mandamus compelling the county auditor to mark as paid said delinquent taxes NEW SANITARY RECORDS Each House in the City Will Be Listed. A work of considerable magnitude is being undertaken by Health Commissioner Hall He is opening a set of records which, when brought up to date from the mass of records in his office, will give a complete sanitary history of every house in Minneapolis The books will be so indexed that any house can be found In a moment and the number and time of occurrence of contagious diseases on the premises seen at a glance Dr Hall expects" his new books to form an important part of the reference records of the office i RELATIVES ARE ANXIOUS The Continued Absence of Edrldge Has Aroused the Gravest eFars.

Mrs Edrldge is 57 years of age, of medium height and dark complexioned Her hair was once nearly black, but It is now streaked with gray When last seen she wore a black silk waist and a black worsted skirt i HAMXIHE MAN DIEB STTDDEHLY.
