The people of the Northwest have
much reason for self graduation on
account Of the wonderful inflow of pop
ulation which has been in progress for
some months past To no other section
of the country is the mind of the home
seeker turning with so much of hope
and expectation as to the fertile region
which lies midway between the lakes
and Pacific ocean.

location of their future homes or to

decided on in North and South Dakota

Disease And DISCOMFORT.

The present condition of the thorough
fares of st. Paul is a positive disgrace
and wrong Clouds of dust arise at
every turn and for the past two or three
days the ordinary citizen has been forced
to suffer injury to both health and raj
ment without any remedy being at his
disposal save that of cursing and in
Weighing against those whom he re-
CARDS as responsible.
As a matter of fact our people do not
know in any numbers how it happens
that such an insuferable state of things
is in progress. The fault is easily locat-
ed. The pursuit of petty politics by the
Republican majority of the assembly fur
nishes the explanation of this shocking
state of affairs.
The contract for street sprinkiing was
duly let more than a month ago. AS
long since as March last that contract
was approved by the board of aldermen
and Went to the assembly for concur
renee. Strange as it may appear it was
concurred in after some delay by that
body; but for some reason which no one
has had the courage yet to offer an ex-
PLANTATION of, the vote of concurrence
was reconsidered and the contract sent
back to the committee from which it
came
Tonight the assembly meets. 1t has
dawdled and delayed the letting of this
contract for an entire month without
being able to offer any intelligent expla,
nation of it's own conduct The city
engineer has borne testimony that the
contract price was fair and reasonable,
and urged the acceptance of the bid;
but to no avail The citizens are made
to suffer in their health and personal
comfort simply through the shameful
neglect which has prevailed. Assembly,
man Haas duly entered his protest
against such methods of doing the pub
lie business; but, as he is prominent
member Of the Democratic minority in
that body, his protest, of course. went
unnoticed.
1t is not necessary to be too specific
in setting forth the reasons which plain
" enough animated those who have thus
shamefully delayed the sprinkling Of
the city streets. The point now is to
insist on its early accomplishment. To-
nights action should be followed at once
by the necessary steps to relieve the
people from the awful burden imposed
on them through the shocking condition
of the streets. City Engineer Claussen
IS in nowise and in no degree whatever
responsible for the prevailing conditions
Indeed they exist against his express
advice and opinion The obligation will
now be imposed on him to make up as
effectively as he can for the wrong done
to the public by the foolish delay which
has prevailed. We believe he will do
so.
In any event, or however it is accom-,
plished, the people of St. Paul are in 10
frame OF mind to suffer any further
trifing or log-rolling in this important
matter

Augusta Trust Company Will Take

Though No Definite Arrangements Have Been

Although there have been no definite
arrangements made by the trustees of

business in conjunction with its oWn.
enough has been done to warrant the
statement that in the immediate future
this will be the outcome of the nego-
tiations already completed and now
pending. In order to bring this about
two thirds of the stock of the bank, at
least. must be purchased or controlled
The Augusta National Bank has n
capital stock Of 100000. According to
the last report of the State bank eX-
aminer the Kennebec Savings Bank
owned a year ago 100000 of the stock
of the Augusta Bank. This block OF
stock was recently purchased by Hon
j. Manchester Haynes. The market
value Of this stock was estimated at
$34. 500, but whether Mr.. Haynes paid
more than par for it is not known. 1t
is Il fact. however, that he now owns
| this amount OF the capital stock Of the
bank
While il is not known. it is intimated
by those who are in a position to have
| definite information on the subject.
that with this amount Of stock and that
held by other stockholders of the bank
who are now interested in the Trust
Company the necessary tWo-thirds OF
| the capital stock is now in the control
of the trustees of the Augusta Trust
Company.
The Hallowell Savings Bank at the
beginning of the year held $1,000 of Au-
| gusta Bank stock; the Augusta Saw
| ings Bank. $500; and the rest of the
stock is owned by National banks and
| individuals. There is no public infOr-
nation as to whether the absolute con-
troll of the bank has Vet been obtained
but the impression is general that it
has.
The Augusta Trust Company was or
ganzed. January %. 1894. On Septem-
Der %, 1896. when its report to the bank
examiner for that year was made its
resources amounted to $410,016.3S. For
that year its time and demand deposits

the resources had increased s160,000 or
thereabouts. swelling the amount to

reached the splendid sum of 81. 467 $685..
The time and demand deposits for 1900
amounted to $1.312 616.S5
During the past year the business of
the company has been augmented by
the addition of several good accounts.
