THE CITY HALL.

Editor Herald: There has been con-
siderable criticism of the building COM
mittee of the city council in connection
with the erection of the city hall, and so
long as it is confined to matters of opin-
ion the committee has no fault to find,
but when it takes the direction of mis-
statement of facts, some of our citizens
declaring that the cost largely exceeded
the proceeds Of the bonds, or that the
committee has run the city largely into
debt on construction account, we GER
tainly do object. In order, orce for all,
to set at rest these critics we herewith
present full and complete record of the
building acc count, taken from the books
of the city, and challenge any Que to
show that it is wrong in any particular.
Whether these wise men. whose
hindsight is so much keener
than the committees foresight,
could have given the city better build
ing for the money, or would have given
better satisfaction to the tax payers; of
course we cannot say; all that we pro-
css to say is that the members of the
committee discharged very 1isagreeable
duty conscientiously and to the best of
their ability and at great personal sac
rifce to themselves. Whatever the public
may think of it we have the satisfaction of
knowing that we did the best that we
could, and are proud Of our work.
The following is the statement Of the
account in full, with the bids for material
and labor used in the buileing. The
lumber bid was for the same bill of lum-
Der submitted by the building committee
for each firm to bid upon. The bid of ].
J. Howe & Co., shows on it's fac: to lie
the lowest. but their bid was for lumLcr
delivered on the track here and they also
charge for freight from st. Paul on doors
and windows, while Mr.. Wh1pple's b d
was for lumber delivered at the building,
with an agreement to take back all lum-
Der left on hand. making his lid much
the best one for the city. The balance OF
the bids show for themselves.
The following is the financial state
ment:
Bonds issued. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, 900

AS many of your readers desire to hear
about Oregon, take the liberty to write
a few lines for the columns of your paper.
Our climate is the most even to be found
anywhere. At this writing, December
26th, we are having fine weather and
the ground has not been frozen an inch
deep yet. Men are still setting out
Strawberries and fruit trees. l know
that this will seem almost Incredible to
any old Minnesotian, but we will refer
you to Mr.. Abbott of your own county,
who has just been here and purchased
property, and has returned for his family
and will make Salem, Oregon, his future
home.
There is much said and written about
Oregon, the LAND of big red apples"
which should be taken with degree of
allowance, as men usually advertise a
little higher than they will bear, but we
think man an makea living in Oregon
and be in one Of the finest climates i'll the
world-no billiards., no heavy snow
storms. The thermometer seldom touch
es zero in the winter, or reaches ninety
above in the summer. Crops never fail
and fruits and vegetables OF all varieties
do well. Stock raising is profitable and
so is the poultry business. In fact, in a
new country like this almost any bust.
ness will pay. -.
Land can be had at reasonable prices,
and with forty or fifty acres a man in
short time will have good and indie
pendent living. E. c. MINToN,

When the blood is impure, thick and
sluggish, or thin and impoverished, there
can be no health. With these conditions,
all the functions of the body are impaired
and the result is variety of dangerous
complications. The best remedy is Ayers

Every body is having good, big dose
of la grippe and some of the sick ones do
not seem to enjoy it worth cent.

The Sank Centre male octet appeared
at the Opera Hall on Thursday evening
OF last week, hut owing to the fact that
but one days notice was given of their
coming the attendance was not as large
as they deserved. There are several very
fine voices in the troupe and some of the
pieces rendered were very fine. Others
were very laughable and convulsed the

Never stop your home paper. If you
feel that you are not able to take several
papers, always stop the one away from
home. You ask why? We answer you
in this way: In the first place your for
eign pa per, that you say you can get for
81 year, cares nothing for your inter-
est; it is the dollar and only that. They
are not trying to build up your town or
community. When the time for which
you subscribed has expired your paper is
discontinued and that ends it as far as
their interest with you is concerned. Not
so with your home paper; what money
you invest in your home paper returns to
you with interest. You ask, in what
way, please explain? First, every dollar
that put in your home paper in the way
of advertising, subscription, or in any
other way is kept at home. Second, a
home paper strives to build up town
in which it is located, and if it is Success
tul in that, it is making your home more
valuable. Besides, we should not look
at home paper from financial basis.
We should first consider that it takes ev-
cry dollar that is earned by home pa
per to sustain it, and when you with
hold your little support, either IN money
or news that you might contribute, you
in sense destroy its usefulness, and not
only so, but every time you order your
paper discontinued you knock just one
more spoke out of your wheel. The way
to make your home paper of interest is
for every subscriber to report to the pub.
Usher all the happenings Of their neigh
borhood, and see that nothing of inter-
est is allowed to pass. Bv doing this
and then keeping file of your paper, it
gives you future reference that will not
