The following from the Lake county
Leader is worthy of notice A large num-
Der Of towns i'll Dakota are giving great
attention to the manufacture of brick In
this country, where lumber for building
purposes is shipped long distances, it is
expensive material out OF which to con-
struct buildings. There is plenty of suit
able clay in every township in Dakota for
the manufacture of brick, and no town
should be without its brickyard A town
does not begin to assume anything like a
metropolitan air until its streets show
few substantial brick blocks Madison
has no brick yard, and one here could be
made to pay large profits. There is I'M
questionably plenty Of material here for
brick manufacture if properly developed,
and every single brick manufacture would
find ready market Eastern capitalists
would be more ready to invest money in
buildings here if we had brick yards to
furnish them building material, and moth
ing would do more toward the upbuilding
of the town.
Our marshal is endeavoring to enforce
the ordinances of the city, without fear,
favor or affection. For sometime past the
saloons have been disregarding the law
requiring them to close at | | clock. On
last Saturday light, both saloons it ap
pears were open after the prohibited time,
SO making themselves liable to the penal
ty. On Monday morning, consequently,
the city marshal filed complaints against
each of the saloons and had the.proprietors
arranged for violating Ordinance No. 10.
There being no question as to the guilt of
the parties, they both plead guilty and
were fined $25. 90 and costs which was the
minimum penalty attached to the viola
ton of the ordinance. Both fines were
paid but with many mental reservations
as to the future. 1t is to be hoped that
as long as the law remains in force and
unrepealed that the parties whom it con-
Germs will obey it; and the marshal merits
the approved of all law abiding citizens in
his efforts to mete out equal and exact
Justice to ALL
To Printers.
