Looking Over the Field.

Chas. E. Lewis, of the well known
firm Of Lewis & Co, Minneapolis spent
the day in the city visiting his cor
respondent here, Geo. Game, and get
ting information about the crops. He
thinks the three states of North and
South Dakota and Minnesota will
have the largest grain crops, in the
aggregate yield, in their history. The
oats crop is specially good, and while
the wheat will not give the pheno-
menal yields that have been guessed
at in some cases. still the yield will be
a good average, and with the large
acreage will make a lot Of wealth for
the agricultural population of the
three states. Mr.. Lewis says that
he does not expect to see wheat much
different in the selling price than it is
at present. The price OF flax is more
uncertain, but 81 bushel, good
price, will probably be about what
will be paid for this falls shipments.

Brakemen Discharged.

Five brakemen on the Milwaukee
road were arrested and discharged for
an alleged attempt to defraud the
road in the transportation of harvest
laborers from Chicago to the Twin
Cities and over branch lines into the
DakOtas. The men were parties to
an arrangement made by other brake
men with employment agents in Chi
cago, by which the men they secured
to fill orders for help from Dakota
farmers were carried in box cars to
the Twin Cities, the agents saving
the cost Of tickets and the brakemen
pocketing from so cents to 81 each for
the men they carried.
The men claimed that they were
not in any such scheme. If bad
weather should occur during harvest
and grain be lost for lack OF help to
harvest it, the road would lose good
deal more in freight than the cost OF
hauling men to the fields in box cars.

State Crop Report.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 6-The
weather during the past week has
been very favorable for crops; the fore
part was warm, followed during the
middle of the week by light to heavy
showers and cooler weather, which
was very favorable for maturing and
ripening grain.
While some wheat has been cut in
all parts OF the state, still harvest
will only be general the latter part of
this week. From reports received, it
is evident some injury was done grain
during the hot weather recently,
some of it having filled poorly, while
some damage has resulted from other
causes.
Most Of the oats and barley have
been cut, with very satisfactory yields.
Flax has continued to improve, but
was too badly injured early in the sea-
son to make a good crop. Corn is also
improving and bids fair to make an
average crop.
Haying has been in progress, and
owing to the favorable weather. an
abundant crop OF excellent quality has
been put up.

Yesterday was a quiet Sunday at

The appropriation made this year for

There are many who advocate muni-
cipal ownership. Those who will hon.
estly look at this matter cannot but
admit that the time is not ripe for
the city to embark in a commercial
enterprise and the clause providing
that the Co, must sell to the city at
actual value of the plant mot includ-
ing value of franchise) should satisfy
them that the avenue is open for the
city to own its own lighting plant at
any time when public opinion de-
mands it, whether it be three, five or
fifteen years hence.
Shall the city Of jamestown have
one Of the best lighting plants in the
state, new modern machinery, new
buildings, new and modern appliances,
furnishing the latest and best arc
lamps, giving the city the most for
the least money, or shall it GO on with
the poorest plant in the state, with
its old unsightly buildings, antiquated
machinery, boilers run too close to
the danger point, arc lamps that
should have long since been relegated
to the scrap heap, and giving the city
the least for the most money?
The fire alarm of Friday and the
danger of destruction not only to the

never be replaced-but to the entire
city, should impress dnour city fathers

Electric Light Franchise.

To The Alert: 1t has been stated
that the main objection to the grant
ING Of a franchise to the Citizens Co..
is the fear that it would be used as a
lever to secure the present plant from
the Wisconsin Trust Co., upon favof-
able terms. What calamity to the
people of Jamestown that would be?
Does the city of jamestown owe any
narticnlar amount to the jamestown
Electric Light Co., orI its owner tne
wisconsin Trust Co..? Ask the deposl-
tor in Lloyds bank if they 40. When
that hank closed it's doors $4,000 OF
the depositors money had been used
by this same company, did they ever
nav it back? $500 Of it. Should the
people Of this city now protect the
Trust company in trying to save itself
from loss occasioned by that failure?
shall the council stihe competition,
and doindirectly what the law declares
shall not be done directly, make
franchise exclusively by refusing to
grant another? The Citizens Co.,
should be required to admit clause
in the proposed ordinance, requiring
them to complete the construction OF
a modern plant:Lwithin reasonable
time or forfeit all rights Hereunder,
this would show their good faith and
is all that should be required OF them.
The people Of jamestown should
wake up to the opportunity now pre-
sented, and demand Of their repre-.
sentatives that they allow competition
in these matters, and not throw the
protecting mantle Of an exclusive fran
chise, inI deed if not in word, around
the Wisconsin Trust Co. Compare
the attitude of the respective COM
panies. One says .'give it all to us, do
not give anyone else any right to do
BUSINESS. The other says 'pass if
you please, a general ordinance open
ing the avenues OF competition to the
world. Give unto the:old company any,
thing you like in the way OF , fran
chise, but give it to all good citizens
alike.n Which one would you rather
trust your business with? Which one
do you consider the more fair?

accrue tu thelpeople Of this city in the
