TWO DECISIONS OF GENERAL

We publish in this issue of THE

calculated to make the recorder and
police magistrate tremble in contem-
eplafion of his temerty in having SEN
fenced offenders and violatcrs of a
city ordinance, to work upon the

CARNEGIE'S GLoCKA

George p. Brooks, representative of

most wonderful clock in the world, and
which his firm recently made for Andrew

ground with Gen. Jos. Bobleter and
Major L. G.. Vogel and examined the
sites which had been located by the
local officers. He finally selected one
north of the fair grounds and says it
will answer the purpose in every way.
On the range designated the cannon
would be placed in position at the
crest of the hill north of the race
course and targets could be set up at
distances varying from three-fourths
of mile to two and one-half miles in
length. 1t is likely that they will be
erected on the opposite side of the
river. Thus the projectiles will pass
over the wagon road and the railway
tracks but the officer says this will not
interfere with the target practice, as
pickets will by stationed to signal the
approach of travellers and trains.
He was well pleased with the location
and announced that he would recon-
mend the range to the department..
Farmers whose land is used will be
allowed compensation by the govern
ment and the troops will camp in the
fair grounds. During their STAY here
fresh meat and other perishable
supplies, together with feed for the
horses, will be purchased from local
dealers

BIGGER SHOW THAN EVER
State Fair Opens Aug. 29th and
Closes Sept. Sd.
Management Offers $4,000 in
Premiums and Purses.
Railroads Announce Half Fare
Rates From All Points.

The dates of the Minnesota State
Fair of this year will be August 10Th
to September 3rd This means, of
course, that the fair will open on the
last Monday in August and close on
the first Saturday in September, Civ
ing full week in which visitors may
examine the exhibits and enjoy the
amusements at the great show. And
the Minnesota State Fair has indeed
become great show" From a COM
paratively Insignificant place among
the state fairs of the country, it has
grown to be more than twice as large
as any other, and is acknowledged
freely to be the leader in this sort of
thing, as well as being one of the most
effective forces in the development and
progress of Minnesota and the North
west
years. fair will be the national live
stock exhibition, in which, as for sew
eral years past, the members of the
American Shorthorn Breeders Asso-
citation and the American Hereford
Breeders Association will take a
prominent part. Special premiums
are offered by these great as sociations
as well as by the American Aberdeen
Angus Association, which with the
offerings of the Minnesota State Agri-
cultural Society, make a total of
about $4,000 to be distributed to ex-
hibitors in these three classes alone.
This seems like a large amount, but
the Minnesota State Fair deals in
large figures. It's total offerings of
premiums and purses this year reach
the sum Of $4,000. 1t is enabled to
pay these great premiums through the
enormous popularity which brought
last year to the fair nearly 100000
people.
Another big attraction this year will
be the new Manufacturers building
now being completed at cost of $50, :
900. Some smaller buildings have
been erected during the summer, and
practically every structure on the fair
grounds has been overhauled, repaint-
ed and freshly rooted.

which assures visitors pleasing trans
port over the electric lines to the city.
Half fare rates in force on all rail-
roads beginning with Saturday, Au-
gust 81, and as numerous crowds are
sure to attend, visitors will do well to
arrange to be at the fair in the early
part Of the week. The management
guarantees that exhibits will be in
complete order by o'clock Monday
morning. The president of the fair
this year is G. N. Cosgrove of LIE
Sueur, while E. W. Randall continues
as secretary.
The fair will be held on the Mime
sofa State Fair grounds, midway be-
tween Minneapolis and st. Paul.

bills will not be a great deal larger.
Last year the total receipts at the
station from commercial lighting were
SO, 422. 80 and the addition of fourth
would make a showing of Sl1, 100, but
this can hardly be hoped for. There
are, OF course, a greater number of
patrons than year ago, but the
council will be we'll satisfied with 20
per cent, or commercial receipts of
approximately s11, 900.
Aid. Nagel's idea of a charge of
10 cents per month meter rent has
been adopted and, as there are in
round numbers 500 meters in use, If
will mean 5000 more flowing into the
city treasury every twelve months.
The third feature of the new schedule,
the minimum monthly bills of so cents,
will give another slight increase, but
Its extent cannot be determined. The
proposition to allow consumers whose
bills run between SIS and $50 discount
OF per cent and those above $50 a
rebate OF 10 per cent is in all things
fair and will not be opposed.
From the above it will be seen that
the receipts at the plant are due to
jump to Sl2, 500 or S13, 200, and they
must do SO if the station is to pay the
cost of its operation and leave a
-. -
balance on the right side of the ledger.
Supt. Wagner's report for 1903 shows
that per cent interest was paid on
all money invested and 81 per cent
allowed for depreciation, but the
earnings must do better than that. A
certain amount will have to be SET
aside for contingencies and, as this
was impossible under the Scent rate.
the new schedule is justifable.
In this connection Supt. WAGNER
makes a statement with regard to the
frequently expressed belief hatreceipts
from commercial lighting should be

there may be a slight surplus to apply

It has finally been settled to place
the meter rates at 10 cents per thousand

Roughly estimated, the revenue of

been decided upon by the aldermen
and which will date from August 1st.
This sum will defray several good
sized items of expense and should aid
the council in its efforts to put the
station on a paying basis. In fact it
ought to enable the city concern to
operate at a profit, and next spring

sufficient to give the city its street
lights free of charge. He says that to
do this the revenue would be compelled
to show an increase Of 10 per cent, the
equivalent of placing the commercial
rates at IA cents per thousand watts.
Imposing a rate of that size would
give the ordinary patron apoplexy
and it would seem that we must be
content with the plant paying its own
way, while the city is charged for
arc lamps as in the past.
