Some Pertinent Suggestions.

EDITOR A1ERT:-What good Is our
famous water power that we have in this
city? It brings us $500 annual rentals,
which is Offset by the expense of repair
ing bursted pipes and salary to
the water commissioner. So we have an
artesian we'll and water works which
cost somewhere from $4,000 to $4,000,
for which the city gets practically moth
ing in return, except the little ornament
al fountain in the public park.
Is there not some way in which our
city can get something out OF the water
works? Would it not be good idea for
our city council to pass an ordinance
giving the free use of the artesian water
power to any individual or company who
will use it for manufacturing purposes?
Our city can we'll afford to pass an or
dinance exempting any manufacturing
company from city taxes for ten years
and giving them the use OF the water
power free for like period. The artes-
ian stream is said to be 537 gallons per
minute. The writer does not know how
much power this stream would generate
in wheel attached to machinery, but it
does seem as if there might be some sal
able article OF consumption manufacture
ed by TINS water power.
A great many obscure little villages in
New England have become large manu-
featuring towns by public donation of
ton from city taxes, etc. What better
ho 0f
court house than to donate it to some
bona fde manufacturing company? If
our city we're to donate the old court
house and the free use of the artesian
water power and free taxes for ten years,
possibly some manufacturing interest
might spring up and benefit the town. G.

w. A. Fridley, Steele: have noticed
since 1883 that whenever we had late
cold spring, We always had good crops.
In 1888, the year of the big frost, Icould
not plow until the 18th OF April. We
would have got big crop that year, but
for the frost in August. In 1885 we had
a good crop-late spring. When it gets

of society, which without her strong,

Maoauley warned us. Among whole

alive, as of old, the spiritual nature and
