The continual Introduction of new plant and

that cost nearly 100000 eleven years ago This

also means big investment for the switch

mentary apparatus, notably relays. Some Of the
latter not only cost money but occupy room.
1t is necessary. too, to devote space to both the
old and new operating rooms while the latter is
being equipped, a process requiring months of
time.

wonderful growth in the business of the New

thousand subscribers Within the last six years
no fewer than three other exchanges have been

sixteen thousand stations. At the uptown ex-

course, but it betrays equal appreciation on the

RIVER FALLS WISCONSIN, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER p, 1900


The county OF Hennenin, Mimi, In
which Minneapolis is situated, made
the first trial Of the primary election
law last week. Great interest was
taken in the election, the vote being
equal TO that cast in the county at
the last state election. 1t is claimed
by some that many Democrats cast
their votes for one of the Repub-
lican candidates for Mayor of Mime
apolis, Ames. (All parties held their
primary elect for the nomination
of candidates at the same time.)
There is no evidence that this is true.
Indeed the vote shows the statement
an assumption. The Republican can
didates received about $4,000 votes and
the Democratic candidates about 49,,
000-which is about the normal
strength Of the two parties in the
county. The primary election law in
this test case is a decided success and
has won immense popularity.
