A new feature of what is hoped
will be a municipal benefit, and pos
sibly Il municipal necessity, was in
trodnced by the Electric & Water
company on Thursday evening
The switch on the arc light circuit
ut the pole near {. H. Browns drug
store was so arranged that soon
after the current was turned on a
varied colored flame shot many feet
into the air. This display was con.
tinued for some time in order to al.
low Il careful examina ton OF the
exhibition. Meanwhile the arc lights
had all been extinguished in order
that this illumination might have no
rival. 1t was very beautiful sight,
and as such is valuable to thepublic.
We would suggest that the. city
council attempt to make some ar
engagements with the Electric &
Water company for a frequent re-
currence of the affair, and that a
contract for a term of ninety years
be entered into. 1t would also he
we'll to have some remedy on hand
for fits when the council considers
the matter. There would be few
reversible commissions at once.

Pay for tho Band.

During the summer season there
are frequent times when the public
desires the use of the Harmonic
band-such days az Memorial day
and Fourth of July and weekly open
air concerts are pleasing and attrac'
tive to most of our citizens. There
are objections to the former system
of monthly payments to the band
outOf the city treasury, but there
should be some means by which the
general public could hire the services
OF the band for such occasions as
music is desirable.
The evening band concerts were
particularly popular, and it has not
been unusual to see upwards of 1900
people attracted to the part OF the
city where the concerts were held.
1t is a pleasant weekly feature, and
we believe that it's benefits were APP
precia ted by enough of our people to
warrant the circula ting OF q sub
scriptiOn list to raise fund with
which to pay the hand boys and
their instructor for such public
music as is desired.
4 small monthly payment by a
Of people should be easily
and it is to be hoped the
plan will be encouraged.

Weyerhaeuser Mill ut West Superior

A telegram from West Superior,
Wis, says that the location Of Fred
erick Weyerbaeustr's proposed new
saw mill has been established. The
contract has not been signed, but
the agreement has been made. The
Weyerhaeuser people wanted forty
five acres of land, but the CONSOLE
dated Land company offered thirty
five acres. An agreement, however,
has been made whereby the land
company will donate forty acres ut
the mouth of Bear creek, eleven
blocks east Of the Nemadji river.
This will put the big mill six blocks
east of the new Omaha merchandise
docks. The mill will be one Of the
largest in the country. Mr.. Weyer-
haeuser is pressing the construction
of his logging road from White
Birch to Superior, and it will be
completed this season. Timber be-
longing to him and his associates to
the extent of SOC, 200, 900 feet is tribu-
tary to it and will he sawed here.

The \. p. Deal.

The American stock and bond
holders of the Northern Pacific arr
actively opposing the plans to have
J. j. Hill get control Of the road
and President Ives Is the leader IN
the opposition. 1t In now believed
that he has secured enough backing
to prevent the completion OF the Hill
deal. There are good many
reasons for hoping the last news is
true, and that the Great Northern
will not make a partner ship deal
with the Northern Pacific. There
are certainly good local reasons for
hoping the roads will not CONSOLE
date. But for the report of the con-
solidation there is no doubt but the
construction of the Mississippi Il
Leech Lake railroad would now be
under way. but delay was not sur
prising when any day might bring
forth unlocked for changes in rail
road management. AS long as the
Great Northern has hopes to get the
Northern Pacific the owners of the
former will not listen to any propO-
sitions for leasing or contracting
lines to the territory of the other.
However, should the Northern Pa
cific escape Hill, there is every reason
that he would be a good deal more
willing than ever before to get into
some Of his rivals good territory.

YARD and DEPOT.
The Northern Pacific Conoid:
erlng Changes and Improv.
mento at Little Fallo.

The business of the Northern
Pacific at this point has outgrown
the facilities they have for handling
1t, and it has been determined to
increase the trackage in the yards,
and probably to construct new
depot. There is not room in the
yards to conveniently store and
handle the cars that are needed for
use in the local business, and ad.
ditional trackage has become
necessary. The depot is also en- tirely
two smell, and is an old and uncom-
Portable building, being the same one
that was built nearly twenty years
ago to accommodate the patronage
OF village of few hundred people.
The company has appropriated
about $4,000 to make improvements
at Little Falls. and there is need
that the additional facilities be
available soon.
The company desires that some
streets be vacated in order that the
yards may be extended in length,
and Sapt. Law was in the city Mon
day comforting with members of the
city council. 1t is understood that
the company desires to locate the
new depot near Broadway, but will
make it condition that some of the
neighboring streets be vacated.
For many years the people of the
city have been hoping for a new pas
senger depot, but year after year the
improvements have been postponed.
The road has in the past desired to
get cersain streets vacated, but they
have been unable to make any prop
osition in the past that met public
approval. The people OF the city are
rather opposed to the vacation OF
the streets in the neighborhood of
Broadway, although they are GER
tainly friendly to any conservative
concessions that will enable the road
to conveniently do it's business here.
WHAT THE ROAD WANTS.
Mr.. Law exhibited to the council
plans which would meet the require
ments of the road. The plans pro-
vided for new. passenger depot just
north of Broadway, which the COM
pany will build at a cost OF $4,000,
and the removal of the freight depot
to a location near Second avenue
north. 1t also provides for the va
cation of Second avenue north and
First and Second avenues south.
The railroad company owns strip
of land one block in width along
their line for several blocks in the
city. and the streets would be va
Gated the length of the blocks. The
council will consider the matter at
the next meeting, Monday evening,
June 3.
Most of the aldermen went over
the ground with Mr.. Law Monday.
Alderman Mecusker expressed a
desire that the depot be placed
south OF Broadway, and Aid. MOeg-
lein was naturally of the same
opinion. There is no doubt but an
effort will be made to have itlocated
at First avenue south. 1t is to be
hoped that some arrangements may
be made by which the new passenger
depot will be built, but an effort to
haul it down south Of Broadway
should not WIN.
