from Lewiston. Mont, asking for a Min

and organize the schools of that state.
The request was made here for the
reason that Minnesota educators are
ranked as among the MOST competent
and progressive in, the United STATES.
Evidence of the reputation which the
state bears iE other states as leader in
educational affairs is constantly being
received in similar letters to the state
srperintendent's office. Recently a com

CRAIG IS A CANDIDATE
ANNOUNCES HIS DESIRE FOR PRES
IDENCY OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Assemblyman Craig has announced
that he is a candidate for the office of
president Of the common council. This
information was conveyed to caucus of
the Republican members held Tuesday
and was reiterated to a number OF friends
in the city hall yesterday
How the information was received bv
the remainder of the Republican law
makers is not known, though it is said
he can hardly rally to his standard the
entire Republican strength of the COM
mon council. There are others that
want to make the race, and this fact
may imperil his candidacy. Assembly,
man Craig's sudden appearance on the
ground and the first to personally an
nounce that he wants to be 1T" is cred
tied to a combination backed by the

The Republicans are confident that
they can land the prize which will be
handed out the coming month, and the
latter part of the week will see a ca1-
Gus at which the man to make the race
will be picked out. Among the Demo-
Gratis, however, this activity seems to
receive little serious consideration, the
members being confident that President

NORTHERN MANUFACTURING COM
PANY WANTS HEATING
EvE1 AN(-EIIGN

1t is probable that at the next meeting
Of the board of aldermen and the assem-
bly, application will again be made by
the Northern Manufacturing company
for a heating franchise. An alderman is
authority for this assertion, and he says
that the company Will make the city an
offer that it caiipot well turn down
Some months ago. this same company
appeared before, the council with an ap-
plication for a Franchise but it was
scarcely consid cred owing to an impress
sion that the company had little finan-
ciai backing.
When the franchise granting the Com
mercial block owners heating and light
ing privileges went through the board of
aldermen, the only enc registered in the
negative was Aid. Bantz. His stand, be
says, was taken because of the tire Il
ment accorded the Northern Manufac-
turing company which, to his knowl-
edge, has ample financial backing.
While the franchise for the CONNER
cial Block company will in all proha-
bility be granted by the assembly, its
present shape will probably be changed,
number of the members being prepared
with amendments that will prevent its
future transfer to lighting companies
that are now enjoying the privileges of
the streets. A schedule Of fixed rates
may also be demanded.
