Williamsport, N. D.
For City Election.
The city council met in adjourned ses.
sion Thursday, to consider prepara-
tions for the next city election. In
consideration of this, minutes and the
regular order of business we're dispensed
with, aud sole attention paid to the mat.
ter in question.
The first question before the council
was whether or not the city election
should be carried on under the Aus
tralian system. The law provides that
where there are 300 legal voters, accord
ing to the assessment rolls on file with
the county auditor, the election shall be
carried on under the Australian system.
The opinion of the city attorney, on the
subject, was read. He stated that an ex-
animation Of the assessment rolls showed
fewer than 800 voters, and advised that
the election be held under the old eys-
TEN, as provided by the city charter:
Alderman B%raithwaite handed in a con-
trary opinion from Attorney General
Standish to W. P. Moffet. The city at
torney's report was then accepted, Alder.
men Cunningham, Braithwaite and Guss-
ner voting no. The council accordingly
decided to hold the election under the
old system, as provided by the city
charter.
A resolution was then introduced and
read, providing for polling places and
judges of election, which were as follows:

feed store. Judges, Joseph Woods, G..

dou's paint shop. Judges, Joseph Tram
me-, Pat McCue, Jay Fosdyck.

The Way it Works.
Louis Larson returned Thursday
from a trip to St. Paul and Minneapolis,
where he went to order a stock of goods.
He returned more than ever convinced of
how disastrous the past year has been to
Industries of all descriptions. A year
ago, Heffelfnger, with whom he dealt,
employed 600 men from the twin cities
and kept them busy making shoes for
the northwest trade. The promised re-
versal Of the tariff policy Of the govern
ment forced him to shut down last July,
and he did not reopen until a month or
so ago, and then with but It's men, Just
enough to keep nlled what orders came
IN from time to time. The rest of his
men were out of employment and went
to swell the ranks of the army of the I'M
employed in the twin cities. He dared
not manufacture a large stock of shoes,
lest a sudden change in tariff should so
change the price as to entail great loss.
1t is the same to-day. Larson says he
will have to wait for his goods, until his
order can be filled. Upon this plan, that
of making nothing except for immedi.
ate disposal, is the only way the business
can be carried on.
Other Industries in st. Paul and Min.
neapolis, too, show evidences of the
hard times. Store buildings and other
business, which a year or so ago we're
occupied by firms doing good business,
are vacant. Hotels do little business.
Everything goes to show that the indus.
trial %stagnation has had it's effect, and
an effect which will take years to wipe
out.
