the PROPOSED CITY CHARTER.
Tho Charter Commits sion Delivered tho
DRAFT for the New city Charter
to Mayor Tyler Last Friday.

The charter commission handed in
the result of its work to President
Tyler on Oct. IL, two days before the
six months allowed it had expired.
The same was presented to the council
at It's meeting last Monday evening
and committee composed of Alder
men Void and Markhus was ap-
pointed to have the charter printed
for distribution among the citizens OF
the village before the election at which
the question of the adoption of the
charter will come before the people.
The proposed charter is quite
voluminous, probably covering nearly
one hundred pages of closely printed
pamphlet, and is supposed to provide
for all the exigencies that may arise
In the management of the proposed
city as we'll as prescribing the form of
government itself.
The outline sketch shown on this
page will give good general idea of
the limits of the proposed city corpor-
alton and the manner in which the
ward divisions are made. 1t will be
seen that the city will cover over four
square miles, that it will be nearly
three miles in length from east to west
and two miles in width from north to
south.
The elective officers provided for are
. mayor, treasurer, two aldermen from
each ward, one justice from each ward,
and two constables. The appointive
offices provided for are the clerk, an
auditor, and several minor positions.
The police department will be under
the control of the mayor.

rElEPHoaE FRANCHISE REJECTED.
vs"'mar Aldermen Think Telephone
cempstit'o" Would Bring "Too
Many" Poles and Wires.

Sny roles and wires.
The Union Telephone Company leo
operative) by Mr.. Martin Olson of At
water applied to the village council O,
W1lmar for franchise, asking 70,
the same privileges enjoyed by thu
Willmar Telephone Exchange. At H.
last meeting Of the council. The oit1
fathers were astounded by the audac.
1sy OF the proposition, and promptly
and unanimously turned down the re-.
quest.
The TRIBUNE editor interviewed sew
eral OF the aldermen to ascertain their
reasons for refusing the Union com.
pany permission to use the streets.
and they seemed agreed that the com.
pany had asked for too much. Thev
believed the streets would be too much
encumbered with poles and wires II
another exchange was put in. They
doubted If any benefit would be. se.
cured to the public by having two ex-
changes, etc. They had been informed
by Alderman Williams that his COM
pany was willing to DO the fair thing
oy the new company, even to allowing
tnem to come into town on its poles.
Ihe councilmen are willing to desiq-
nate some street on which the Union
company may come into the village
and establish q station, but not to
allow them more than one or two
phones. The attorney for the Union
company was not willing to accept a
compromise and did not wish to have
the matter tabled, so it was rejected.
The Union company has its line
In working order up to the village linn
It's, at A. 81. Sperry's residence, and
was awaiting the action of the council
to secure permission to bring the line
into the village and place the 'phones
Tor their subscribers here. The TR1B-
UNE man called at the Sperry home
yesterday and tested the new line. He
talked with people at Spicer, Harri-
son and Atwater, and found the SER
vice fully up to that of the monopoly
line and quite satisfactory. He
also learned that the officers of the
Union line are not discouraged at
the rebuff received at the hands of the
Willmar council, but will again short
ly apply for the recognition they de-
sire, when they hope to be better pre-
pared to press their claims. The Un-
Ion system so far as constructed in
cludes the Atwater exchange and thir-
ty miles of lines connecting large
number of the best class of farmers in
the towns Of Irving, Harrison, Green
Lake and Dovre. Additions TO the
system by means of other co-opera-
tive lines being built are projected. 1t
Is quite necessary for the success of
these lines that they secure suitable
Accommodations at the metropolis OF
the county. The members of the COM
pany include many capable men with
plenty of financial backing, and they
believe that the business sense and in
telligence Of the people of Willmar
wil1eventually win for them the right
todo business in Willmar on equal
termBsyith any other company.

WEDDING AT HILo.
Marriage of Miss Maggie Murphy to
Mr.. c. n. w. Hitchcock.

A very pretty family wedding took
plaaeJin Hilo last Thursday at the old
homestead of D. H. Hitcock, at
which Charles H. w. Hitchcock and
Miss Margaret Murphy were united in
marriage by the Rev. Father Maxiam
Only the immediate family and
friends were present.
The ceremony took place in the fam
lily parlor, which was tastefully decor
ated with border of ferns and palm
leaves around the base, and dropping
wreaths of asparagus vine and pink
and white flowers .festooned from the
center of the room to the corners.
The bride was dressed in white and
carried a trailing bouquet of aspara-
gus and white carnations.
A simple collation. was served in the
dining hail. which had been turned in
to veritable hail of beauty with flow
ers of all hues and varieties.
The bride and groom left for Wal
liilii, Olaa, that same evening, amid
showers of rice and bouquets.

Squadron Changes.

The Navy Department fears that the
repairs to be made on some of the yes
sells of the North Atlantic Squadron
will cause delay of several weeks in
the summer naval manoeuvers at
Newport, says the Army and Navy
Journal The Kearsarge will have her
turret overhauled and completely re-
paired; this in itself will take some
time. Other vessels will have to be
docked. and on the whole it is now i'm
possible to state with any degree of
certainty when the manoeuyers will
actually take place. Then again. be-
fore the vessels of the North Atlantic
Squadron leave New York they will
take part in the forthcoming interest
ing joint operations OF the Army and
Navy in New York harbor. Several
weeks ago we outlined the purpose of
these manoeuvers and stated that sew
eral interesting tests of ordnance in
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-05-20

struments would be made. The relative
efficiency of the two types OF range
and position finders will be determined,
and the present system of fire control
will be tried with view to making
some radical improvements. On its
mart the fleet will vancouver exactly
as if it were attacking the fortifica-
lions of New York harbor. These
tests promise to be exceedingly inter-
esting.
II is intimated at the Navy Depart
ment that some time this summer the
force of naval vessels on the Asiatic
Station will be greatly reduced. The
need for such large and powerful
fleet as the one commanded by Rear
Admiral Remey in Eastern waters has
now largely passed away, and radical
changes in the assignment Of ships and
officers are being contemplated. The
plan of re-establiShing the European
Station is once more under conSldera-
ton and it now seems probable that
it will be decided upon If such proves
to be the case there is little doubt that
Rear Admiral Rodgers, now en- route
to the Philippines, will be placed in
command in the Mediterranean, and
Rear Admiral Remey be ordered home,
leaving Rear Admiral Kempff in SUI
preme command of the reduced Asiatic
Station.
Few of the larger vessels now in the
Asiatic Squadron will remain in the
East under the proposed shift of ships.
The Oregon is now on her way home,
and the intention is to order some of
the other larger types to either this
country or to the Mediterranean. AS
far as possible the Department desires
to have on the Asiatic Station smaller
vessels of the gunboat and converted
cruiser types, capable of entering the
smaller streams and rivers of the
Philippines and China. The efficiency
of-these vessels has been demonstrated
on several occasions within recent
period of time.
