CITY COUNCIL
Grants Bonus to Chr. Gorder & Son
For the Establishing of
New Enterprise.
Representative Business Men Present
Their Views and Heartily Endorse
Action of Council.

At the regular monthly meeting
of the city council Monday night,
after the disposal of some bills and
other routine business, the ques-
ton Of granting a bonus to Chr.
Gorder & Son was taken up for
discussion.
Members of the Business Mems
union had been invited to- be
present at the meeting, in order to
hear their views on the PROPOSE
ton, and a good representation
were present.
The proposed contract asked to
be entered into by the city and Mr..
Gorder was that the city furnish
building, rent free, for a period of
sixteen months and non-bearing
interest loan of 5000, payable in
two instalments of $500 within two
years from January l, 1900.
Hon. A. O. Whipple, considered
the proposition, from a business
point and the benefit to be derived
by the city in the locating of such
an establishment as the one pro-
posed. He was of the opinion
that to vote an outright amount to
the firm would be more business
like than to make a piece meal
one.
Aid. Cockburn was not in favor
of granting bonuses from the city
treasury for every enterprise that
applied for it. To do so would
keep the treasury always at a low
ebb. The present case was per-
haps an exceptional one. During
the harvest season he knew that
many repairs to machinery were
often required, and great incon-
venience experienced for lack Of
necessary machinery for repairing
If something substantial in the
manner proposed was certain, he
would favor the present grant in
the way proposed by Mr.. Whipple
In answer to a request by Mayor
Herman, Mr.. Gorder outlined the
plant he had at present and what
he considered would be necessary
to meet the growing demands Of
Devils Lake and vicinity. He was
a practical engineer, machinist
boiler maker and blacksmith, and
had the necessary machinery to dc
all this kind of work, but not in g
way that the requirements of this
location would demand. He ex.
pected to increase his present plant
at least 81, 900. Before coming tc
Devils Lake he had looked ove1
places where he had been offered
more liberal terms than the one he
placed before the city council, but
he preferred thisas a location. Al
to his substantially, he had per.
mission to refer them to any Of the
leading business men Of Oakes
where he had been resident fol
sixteen years. AS to his remaining
permanently, he would say that i
would prove a very improbable

experiment for the amount of prop.
erty he carried.

experiment for the amount of prop
erty he carried.
E. j. Chamberlin strongly fav-
ored making Devils Lake the
centre point for all possible manu-
factures. He considered it the
best possible way to extend our
limits and bring trade to the city.
He was in tone with AID. Cock
burns remarks with reference to
retrenchment, but in this case he
was OF the opinion we would get
good returns for our money.
Hon. H. Hale would vouch for
the reliability of Mr.. Gorder as a
practical man; in fact he had a
state reputation as tirst-class
mechanic, and materially aided in
framing the boiler law which
should have become law at the last
Legislature.
Aid. Baughman felt sure the in
terests of the city would not be
endangered by the granting of a
bonus to a man of Mr. Gorder's
standing. He considered the
starting of an establishment as the
one proposed would result in a
benefit to all, and especially to our
merchants.
Mayor Herman gave his ex-
perience when requiring repairs OF
a class not to be obtained in the
city at present. The inconveni.
ence often cost him not only much
annoyance, but considerable loss.
Hon. Ole Serumgard was SO vel
satisfied with the success of the
enterprise, that if the city would
guarantee the interest. he woulC
undertake to raise the necessar,
amount of the loan asked from
among the business men of the
city.
After some further discussion,
motion prevailed granting outrigh
a bonus of $3.50, the same to b,
paid soon as MIR. Gorder's plan
was unloaded from the cars.

Theproposition set on foot by the
business men Of this city to each
loan SO many bushels of wheat to
aid Mr.. Hanson rebuild the mill is
worthy of the favorable considera-
ton Of every farmer in the COM
munity. That the idea was vol
unfairly taken up by the business
men is the best proof of their con-
fidence in Mr.. Hanson's reliability
and ability to again give Devils
Lake substantial flour mill. If
every farmer in this vicinity will
loan fifty or one hundred bushels,
on the same conditions as pro-
posed in the subscription list now
being circulated. Mr.. Hanson pro-
poses to Immediately begin build
ing operations and have the mill
in running order within a short
time with new and improved ma
chinery. The qualityiof the -four
turned out by Mr.. Hanson has a
national reputation, which very
materially aided in prominently
bringing our wheat into favor as a
cereal and North Dakota the en-
viable reputation of being the
'bread basket Of the world" We
can i'll afford the loss of the mill :
it was necessity we have
little hesitation in saying that
every farmer in Ramsey county
will do his duty in the present in
stance, as in tho past, by loaning
Mr.. Hanson as many bushels Of

Al Public Engagements.

Washington, Oct. 21.-By the ad-
vice of his physician Admiral Dewey
has cancelled his proposed trips to
Philadelphia and Atlanta and will ac-
cept no more invitations before next
spring. The following official state
ment was made at his Office here to-
day: Acting on the advice Of his
physicians, Admiral Dewey finds 1t to
be necessary to cancel the engage
ments he had entered into to visit GER
tain cities and will decline all invita-
tions for. the present. He finds the
mental strain incident to such visits
affecting his health"
1t was said by one of Dewey y'sfriends
that this not to be taken as an indi-
cation of any alarming change in the
admirals health but that to a man of
his temperament the excitement and
mental strain incident to the various
public functions in which he had been
participant proved unusually trying.
He will remain as quiet as possible
