On the Mississippi.

Lumberman: Between Minneapo-
lis and Brainerd the Mississippi &
Rum River Boom company has all
the logs moving along in al fine
shape as the mill o wners could wish.
All the logs that were carried out
into the woods and bottom lands by
the high water between Brainerd
and, Little Falls have practically
been brought back tn the river, and
there is no crew now working be-
tween those two places. The crew
that was working there left the logs
when they reached Fort Ripley and
went to Little Fslls to work ON the
jam at that point.
The crew that was working be-
tween Little Falls and st. Cloud has
been laid off. There ia a crew at
work below st. Cloud. and they were
at Monticello Wednesday morning
bringing along a clean rear and get
ting the logs into the main channel
of the river.
: The jam at Durham island has
about one-third disappeared under
the influence Of hard work. A rum
way has been cleared through It.
and the logs are being picked out
from the sides and are running nicely
to the mills. All the Minneapolis
mills are well supplied with logs and
there will probably be no further
breaks in the regular opera ton Of
the mills until the end of the season.

CITY FATHERS ACT.
Ordinance Passed Placing the
City Under the Law
of 1898. r
800 APPROPRIATED FOR THE FOURTH
Monthly Bills Allowed and
Other Business
Transacted.

The city council met in special ses-
sicn Thursday evening, June 30, lS9s.
pursuant to call of Mayor VasaIy.
Those present were Aldermen Moe
glein, Carlson, Hill. Martin. Lane
and Mecusker; absent, Aid. Turner.
Upon motion duly seconded and car
ried the monthly report Of City JUS
tice Shaw was approved.
The bonds Of John Simon, E"gene
Pilon. Peter Lafond and John Dolap.
for liquor license were considered
and approved, and the city clerk
was instructed to iesue license to
each of the four applicants.
Upon motion duly seconded and
carried the clerk was instructed to
draw an order for $500 In favor OF
John Mcdonald, that amount being
the remainder of his salary as ASSESS
or.
Mayor Vasaly was present and ad-
dressed the council stating that there
were some matters that he wished
to bring before the council for Its
consideration. The first was the
proposition to vote 800 to the citi-
zens committee. to aid in the celehra-
ton of the Fourth fully. The may
or stated that the committees
plans had been made with the under
standing that such a donation
would be made, and he RECOMMENDED
that the council do something In
that direction. After quite lenthv
discussion. in which some argued
that 1t would be proper to appro-
pirate that sum from the firemen's
fund, the council finally appropriated
500 from the revenue fund for that
purpose. +. W. Collins was present
and argued against taking that sum
from the f;remen's fund. claiming
that some of that fund had already
been Incorporated.
Mayor Vasaly also spoke In regard
to al ordinance placing the city un'
der the law OF 1893. Under the law
in question the city council is en-
powered to issue bonds up to s per
oent of the assessed valuation. AS
the bonded indebtedness OF the city
is now $25.OOO and the total assessed
valuation IL nearly million. under
this law the council could issue bonds
for nearly $20,OOO. The object OF this
action is to enable the council when
it sees tit to issue bonds to fund the
the present floating indebtedness.
BY issuing 4 per cent bonds
the city saves the difference
between the interest on the
bonds at 4 per cent and the interest
on outstanding orders at Z per cent,
and the total saving thereby Is es-
timated at about $6'O year. At.
tornev Adams had the ordinance
drawn up, and it was given its three
readings, placed upon final passage
and passed by a UNANIMOUS vote.
1t was moved and carried that the
city clerk be allowed $40 for extra
work.
A communication from the CON-
mittee in charge Of the Fourth OF
July parade, inviting the city officials
to a place in the parade, was read,
and upon motion unanimously car
ricd the invitation was accepted.
