pany will have finished cleaning up
for the winter with the exception OF
such buoms as are holding logs for
the mills to saw. The work at st.
Paul Is also practically finished, the
last raft being now in the course OF
construction. The logs above the
CITY are in better condition than
they have been at the end OF the
season for many years. Above the
CITY and below St. Cloud are no.
100000 feet OF logs in pockets, so
well slowed that floods are not
likely to disturb them. The river is
specifically clean from st. Cloud to
Little Falls. Above that point and
below Brainerd are 100000, 600
feet. When spring opens and logs
are wanted the logs above the city
, will begin to go to the mills the Lit
tie Falls logs will follow, and the
winter landings at Brainerd Will
come in and be reinforced in turn by
the winter landings at the Swan
River railroad dump. This location
for logsis supposed to be the near.
est ideal possible. No logs lie in tn
river channel this side of Little Falls
and no logs have ever been lost out
of the channel above Little Falls BY

THE LOWER COURT is REVERSED.

tract or to Rebate Taxes,

mon council from paying out money
on such void contract.
Order reversed. =
In that same franchise the city
agreed that it wouiu assume tho
company y TAXES in consideration of
free water for public uses. It was
pretty liberal franchise all around.
The 'ity refused to- pay taxes and
compelled the water company to
bring suit, which. ID won in the lower
I:c, urt but loses in the sup. p.eme coust.
|a""rEe opinion says it made no differ
euce whether the city exempted the
property from taxation or handed
hack to the company it's taxes.
Etther way the coz. .pany's tax no
longer deprnded on. the valuation of
the property, but was eisen service.

do that the way is, open for all kinds
OF iniqnitous bargains that would

Consequently it is::s
Held, that this was in violation of
article TX, sections: and 3 Of the
constitution Of the.state, which pro-
yides that all taxes shah he as near

L uo supreme cOufC OF Mln0e-
sofa decided last Monday, without
dissent, that the contract between
the city Of. Little Falls and the
Little Falls Electric & Water Co.
was void; that the city had no.
authority to make a thirty-year
contract with the company; that;
the city had no authority to abate
taxes on the company's property
in exchange for water furnished.
The decisions were written by
Judge Mitchell, and reversed the
lower court in both the cases at
issue. Those who have followed
the litigation know the momentous
meaning of the decisions made by
the court Of last resort. We COM
ment elsewhere on the result.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press says:
1.-TWO of these reversals drive g.
wide breach through the Little Falls
Electric and Water company's fran.
chiso. The village council in 1889
granted the franchise, which included
provision for the rental of fifty. five
hydrants at $50 u wear for thirty
years. Suit was brought by James
G. Flynn AS a taxpayer to stop
further payments on what was reDre.
sented to be an invalid contract.
The company demulred that Flynn
had no interest in the case and that
it was fair and proper contract.
The lower court sustained the de-
murrer, but the supreme court not
only overrdles it, bot goes into the
merits of the question at some
length. -. .'.
! It is granted chat the village coun.
Gil has discretion to pay high price
| for water service. Allowing that
Flynn. is correct in saying that $40
would be fair charge instead of $50
and thirty-fsve bydrants a plenty in
stead of fifty five, tb7' village has the
fright to make bad bargain to induce
somebody to supply water service.
But no council has the right to make
Esuch a contract for thirty years.
II it could for thirty it could for 1Oo
! or 500. BY reason of the ircompe:

evidence of it's richness, Mr.. Young:
presented me with 8 four1pound
potato, which can nowsbe seen at my
office. Mr. Cheeley claimed that his
crop Of potatoes this season ex-
