Looking For Light.

=: The city council held an ssinformal
meeting" no record of which has been
made up to this time, at the city clerks
Office Monday afternoon, and established
literary and correspondence bureau
for the purpose Of getting light-not
electric light, but the Kind Of light that
is known as intelligence. ~
The council wants to know who the.
correspondent of the Minneapolis Jour
nal is. 1t seem that at the last regular
meeting the council held one of its s'in-
formal meetings" after adjournment and
referring to the letter from the attorney
general, decided that it would be best if
nothing were said about it in any of the
papers, and SO it appears on the books
that the resolution to sell the bonds to
the state was simply rescinded. It got
OUT however, and now they are looking
Tor the mean man who told it. " ...
At the "informal meeting'' Monday it
was decided to go into the detective
business; committee was appointed to
invite the Minneapolis journal to dis
close the name of its correspondent and
another to draft fttlngly drastic re-
ply to the scandalous article, with power
to say that if the state did not consider
it safe to invest money when the indebt-
edness exceeded the legal limit the coun.
Gil could easily find people who would.
This literary bureau will also explain
how, when men can get more than54 per
cent for their money they are going to
buy the bonds of a city with an indebt-
edness as great as this city's will be if
the council finishes its contract, at low
rate of interest. II h ,.s
The literary editor of the council will
undoubtedly have rare and BEAUTIFUL
contribution to one Of the city papers
in the near future that will be like the
tramp WHO applied for something to eat
and said that he was so thin that when
he had pain he couldn't tell whether
he had the colo OF pain in the back.

STATE REFUSES TOsTAKE BONDS FOR THE
81 ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.
INDEBTEDNESS IN EXCESS OF. Z PER Ct.
BOND ISSUE WILL BE PLACED on MARKE7
AlsDssOLD TO BEST BIDDER.

. The fity council will publish adver-
tisements for bids for the sale Of the
$3o, 900 twentyysar bonds, all of which
according to the resolution upon which
they were voted are to msture on one
date. sz. I. @
Before placing the bid for the sale OF
the bonds the city attorney wrote to
the secretary of state offering the bonds
Tor sale TO the state, which is the Gus
tomary and the best and safest way of
disposing of bonds of this kind, because
when they fall due there is no trouble
in refunding them if the city is rot in 3
position to take them up.
The matter was referred to the at
torney general who in his letter 10 the
council says that the state cannot pur-
chase the bonds because the city will
have passed the legal Z per cent limit
when the bonds will have been sold.
There remains to the credit of the CITY
before it passes the limit, $4,000. This
amount of bonds was offerd but because
the state could not determine whether il
would be the first or last $4,000 of the
100000 the offer turned down.
This does not signify anything as far
IS the legal right to sell the bonds il
concerned; it simply shows that whoeve,
buys the bonds is not going to take
them at q low rate and if they are sold
the city will probably have to pay the
limit, which is 4 per cent, beyond that
they are prohibited from gong by the
stlpulations of the resolution. If the
council proceeds according to the 1eso:
luton adopted by the vote of the people
to sell these bonds the fact that they
cannot alter the time of payment Of
them will make those who have charge
Of thesaffalrs of the city twenty years
from now do some good fnanc1ering to
come3out even on their payments. It
is not the buying of things that causes
soluble it is the paying for them, and
If the council having exceeded the Z per
cent limit proceeds to burden the CITY
with additional taxation which when
they have completed cannot fail to be
nearly ifnot quite up to the extreme
limit to which city can go, find that
business enter prises shun the place, and
those that we have begin to look about
for more economical fields, and labor
begins to ask for work; they will know
that the secret of it all lies in the fool
isEness of those, who, when the people
asked for bread gave them a magnif-
cent electric light plant.
If these bonds cannot be disposed OF
for less than per cent the council
would be justified in stopping all pro.
ceedings and by creating n electric
light fund wait a few years until they
could proceed at much smaller cost.

There were quite a few beef steers on
sale this morning and the quality as a
whole was better than II has been for some
time past. Quite a few cattle were onered
$500 and as high as $3.50 was paid for
prime cattle. They were extra good In
duality, however, and were better than
anything that has been seen here in some
time. AS a general thing the market could
safely be quoted strong to a dime higher
than Yesterday. The advance was not con-
lined to the good cattle, but was fully as
great en- the medium kinds. Common stun,
OF course, did not show as much change.
The cow trade was also very lively today
The demand was especially good for the
choicer grades and as will be seen from the

that were good enough to sell from $3.50
