THE PRESS
THE MERCHANTS.

A few weeks ago the editor Of
the Gazette discussed impassion-
ately and we'll the relation Of these
two industries and if in this arti-
Gle we do no more than to en-
phasize his thoughts we have ac-
complshed good purpose.
1t was one Of our experienced,
close observing and successful
business men, Mr.. L. I. Chiles,
in talk before the mems club, Of
this city, who said, Every busi-
ness, l care not how small, should
have a card in our city papers, for
the reason that stranger may
know what enterprises we have.
lis point was this, as it now is
the visitor reader would from the
advertisements seen in our paper
conclude we had only a village
here, for, taking out only few
dozen the papers would be blank
as to advertisements
How many people know we
have iobbers here in dry goods,
in groceries, manufacturers of
shoes, OF clothing, Of carriages, of
wagons, that we have machine
shops, wooIe1 mills, flour mills,
planning nils. florists, poultry
yards, banks, real estate agencies,
insurance o1i-cs, etc. The
stranger has but one way to meas
ure city, and that is by what he
sees in the paper Only a short
time ago a gentleman was here to
locate; he was impressed with the
business stir but located elsewhere
because he failed to have knowl-
edge of our school facilities. Every
school should be represented in
the county paper by cut Of the
building and statement giving
curriculum in full. Another asked
for copy Of the county paper,
because he desired to locate in a
BUSINESS town. 1t was an educa-
tor Of great learning and a fine
reputation as teacher, but busi-
ness did not look fourishing as he
scanned the columns Of the paper,
and he thought Mt. Sterling vii
lage on a hill, parched for the
want Of patronage and he moved
on. Our losses are countless for
the reason that our business men
fail to press their interests. The
expenditure to advertise our town
would make the newspaper the

Mr.. F. A. Hopkins is our can
didate for Congress. He is live

POLITICIANS AFTER
M'CLEARY'S SCALP
Work a Neat Scheme to Put Little
Schooimaster on
the Shelf.

Second district Republicans are
planning covert attack on Congress-
man McCleary, Rnder the guise of a
state conference. large number of
influential Second district Republicans
think that 1T is time for McCleary to
step out. They realize his strength and
his political shrewdness, and have
therefore planned unique movement,
which, If 1t becomes effective, may
give them lever with which to GUST
the little schoolmaster of Mankato.
Their plan is this: Within a few days
they will call a meeting of prominent
Republicans in either st. Paul or Min
neapolis. They will have representa-
tives there from all sections of the
state who are known to be right"
They will then proceed to have a
serious discussion" Of strained re-
lations" existing between the president
and the Minnesota congressman. They
will, with great acclaim, discover that
Minnesota is loyal to the president,
and that being so it is not in harmony
taken, which, while not wholly con-
demning the Minnesota delegation, will
so indorse the presidents policy as to
place the congressman on the spit.
Then the Second district people will
go home and use. this against Nc
Cleary. That is what the conference
is for. The other delegates can, if they
care to, drop the matter when they
get home. The Second district fellows
only want it to appear as state
movement and not merely a Second
district scheme.
An attempt is being made to induce
Judge p. E. Brown, of Luverne, to en-
ter the field, but it is not thought he
will do so.

BIDDERS ARE HUNGRY
FOR STATE CONTRACTS
Board of Control Receives Largest
Number of Bids On Supplies
Ever Received.

The state board of control is busily
at work compiling the statistics of the
various state institutions of the state
for the fiscal year just closed. The
biennial report of the board is to be
published by Nov. Is, and as it will
include separate report of each state
institution it's compilation involves
considerable work.
The board is also busy listing the
bids and samples submitted for the
quarterly supplies of the state institu-
tons. Chairman Leavitt says that
there were more than twice as many
bids received this time as on the pre-
vious awarding of contracts, and the
work of making the awards is there
fore considerably complicated.
In addition to these pressing mat
ters, the board has also on it's hands
the prosecution of a number of deal
ers who have been selling Irvine above
legal cost, as we'll as the patrolling of
the state to prevent further work OF
the kind.

ROCK ISLAND is AT WORK ON ITS
EXTENSION FROM SOUTH
ST. PAUL
ORDINANCE TO BE PASSED
AT NEXT WEEKS MEETING
Both Branches of Council Have APP
proved of the Measure-Dikes to Be
Used Where Tracks Parallel the RiV-
err, Retaining Much Swamp Levee
Land.

In order to enable all the progress
possible, the committee on streets of
the board of aldermen yesterday aft
ernoon informally considered and dis
cussed the ordinance granting to the
Rock Island route certain rights on the
West side. The ordinance was the
same approved by the assembly, and
the committee, after being informed
that it had the Endorsement of the le-
gal department, decided to give it ap
prevail at it's next meeting without fur
Their reference.
All that now remains is the passage
Of the ordinance at the meeting to be
held next Tuesday evening and the
mayors signature. Both will be given,
and anticipating such, the railroad
company has already commenced work
on the building of the extension from
the belt line bridge at South st. Paul.
Here big sand dredge, lately brought
from the lower river, is at work, and is
making rapIu progress with the big fill
that will be required. Piles are also
being driven.
1t is the intention of the company
to use the sand dredge wherever the
tracks parallel the river, and also to
throw up dixie for protection from
the annual floods. This will have the
effect of closing off what is known as
the lake, now little better than a
swamp and which includes the best
portion of the flats. Later this dredge
will be used in filling up the bed of the
lake and bringing it up to level with
the grade Of the tracks. The company
which has the contract to do the dredg-
ing expects to be kept busy the re-
mainder of this year and all of next
1t not only has contract with the
railroad company, but is negotiating
with number Of big property owners
to bring their holdings up to a level
for building purposes.
The railroad company was yesterday
granted a permit for it's new freight
depot, which is now in course of erec-
ton on the block just east of the Rob-
ert street bridge The cost is given at
$65,000. This does no include the lay
ing of number of tracks which will
compose the terminals.

JULY BUILDING FALLS
BELOW LAST YEARS
Ninety three Permits Are Taken Out
for Sums Aggregatine
$2s6,00O.

For the first time this year st. Paul
buildings drops behind it's record for
the same month year ago. When the
books were closed in the office Of the
city building department yesterday
only ninety threeIpermits representing
a valuation Of $266,0O0, had been is
sued, where July'5a year ago the num-
Der of permits was 142, and the valua-
ton $369,995.
The building department is at a loss
to account for the drop, unless it be
the high prices of material and labor
which now prevail. The majority of the
architects are busy and the depart
ment is inclined to think they were
unable to get plans sufficiently ready
in time to file them this month.
August opens up fairly well, but it
is not expected that it will touch the
same month a year ago, when the
value of the permits issued went over
the $1,000,000 mark. The rush then was
due largely to the new building ordi-
nances which were billed to go into
effect on a certain day in August.
Some of the permits taken out then
were never used.

THE SECRET OF SWIMMING
w. S. O'Brien Offers to Impart 1t to

Health Commissioner Ohage. -'5
w. S. O'Brien, of Faribault, has been
guarding for years a valuable secret
regarding the art of swimming and
self preservation and he now proposes
to give it to the world for what it is
worth. He has accordingly written to
Health Commissioner Ohage and in
forms him that if he desires it he will
come up to st. Paul and demonstrate
that the art of swimming is not a sci
ence, but a secret.
II have been in possession of this Sc
cret for thirty-five years." he writes
DR.. Ohage, "and as I am growing old
think the world should have the benefit
of it before I die. When a woman
browns, it is rank suicide. If she knew
my secret there never would be any
DANGER"
Mr. O'Brien informs DR.. Ohage that
if everything is made satisfactory he
will come up to st. Paul at once. He
says he can demonstrate his valuable
secret in a room as well as in water,
though the latter is best. Health Com
missioner Ohage has written him to
come ahead and let the world have his
secret by all means.
