lSeI Much Pumpkins After All.
Our Republican friends Of
Harrison county are just now
feeling jubilent over the fact
that they have been awarded
the Tippicano Flag as y eward
for making the large .-e3ubli-
can gain in the elect 1903.
icver that Of 1902. ! rejoice
with them in their sccu ny the
flag, but regret the cat, 5 Of the
success by which thes secured
the flag. We find the vote in
this county in 1902 and that of
1903 to be as follows:
Republican vote in 1902 2547.
Democratic vote in 1902 1889.
Republican maj. sO8.
Republican vote in 1903 1922.
Democratic vote in 1903 1922.
Republican maj. 900.
Republican gain 90
Democratic loss II
The fact is, the change in the
vote was not Sgreat, and was
caused more by lack of a full
vote than by absolute change in
political sentiment, and we pre-
dict that On a lively canvass and
Ia full vote, the gain would have
been nominal.
Another thing is, that Cum
minis is popular, and the demo-
cratic party knowing that they
had not the ghost of a chance
to carry Iowa, made no effort to
secure a full vote, while the re-
publicans made a tremendous
effort, not only to get out their
vote, but also toilacrease it, and
with all these advantages they
only increased their vote 80.
We are glad the boys got the
flag, but advise them not to hol-
low too loud, or they may wake
up the stay-at-homc democrats,
and there by loose the flag.

As We Sec It.

Ao WV GGG Els
1t is common for every person
to take sides in every cor
test, either physical, political
or social, and this feeling is not
confined alone to the human
family, but if we see two dogs
fighting we Immediately take
sides and rejoiceat the victory
Of our dog. So it is just now in
the Russia-Japan contest, and
while it is not our dog, we are
satisfied that a very large pro-
portion of the American people
wish the littlemen to be victori-
Gus i'm the present struggle.
The trouble is an old one and
must now be settled by, we fear,
o bloody war, and we are glad
to know that the race is not al
ways to the swift nor the Veto
ry to the strong.
Russia seems determined to
hold Manchufia at all hazards,
although she promised to vacate
long since, but now refuses, but
seems to be determined to alb
sorb and control the half of
China and the key to the Yellow
Sea and Korea straits, and de
prive the Japs from the COM
Imercial privilege of the Orient.
The Japan nation are determi-
ned to drive back the Russians,
and preserve the Chinese Enc
pire in tack, and guarantee to
Nanchusla seperate government
and save to Japan the freedom
Of commerce in all these waters.
The aggression of Russia is
notorious, and the civilized ma
tons looks on with decided dis
appreciation on this manifesto
tior on the part of Russia, a.
mighty nation, to trample upon
the national rights of China,
and deny to the balance of the
world the advantage of the free
commerce of nations.
That Russia is strong in fl
nance, number Of soldiers, and
army supplies, bravery, and all
the equipments of a powerful
army is unquested, but it is also
true that Japan has the moral
strength of a great nation
and victory may come to
the immutable laws of justice
and right, and as Japan has the
prayers of the civilized world
for her success in her present
struggle, it is to be hoped that
the hosts of Russia may be dril
en- back to her ice-bound plain
| of Siberia and the snow covere
hills of her own Empire.

to enable them to operate without loss.
Their proposed policy conforms in
every particular with the stand taken
by the Review during the electric
lighting discussion. This paper main
tanned, in the face of opposition, that
higher rates were necessary and min
imum monthly charge essential, con-
tending that there would be no benefit
in the erection of a municipal plant
unless it could light the streets with
out cost to the taxpayers. This would
have been possible with receipts COW
ering the operating expenses but where
each month shows deficit portion,
at least, of the burden is thrown back
upon the people who do not directly
benefit by the service.
Very little difference will be made to
the ordinary consumer by the addi-
tional 2 cents per thousand watts. It
will not make monthly bills much
higher but will mean a great deal to
the plant, in fact increase its revenue
by 20 per cent.

BRIDGES FOR MINNESOTA
Amendments to Davis Bill Allow Their
Construction.

Representative Stevens from the
committee On interstate and foreign
commerce, on Friday reported, with
several amendments, the Minnesota
river bridge bill, introduced by Con-
gresham c.. r. Davis.
1t provides that the Minnesota river
may be bridged and that the spans be-
tween Chaska and Mankato shall be
twenty feet above the water line, and
above Mankato to Big Stone lake fif-
teen feet above.
The report also provides that the
government shall have the right to use
the bridges for postal, telegraph and
telephone purposes.
In effect the bill really makes the
Minnesota non-navigable, but the re-
port safeguards it SO that in case the
federal government should ever need
the river all rights are reserved.

CONTRACT is GIVEN OUT
Eagle Mill Awards Contract For
New Engine.
COrliss Stationary to Be Built by
Minneapolis Firm.
Will Have Tandem Cylinders and
Will Have Tandem Cylinders and
g. Condenser.

Minneapolis men will build the new
stationary engine which is to be in
stalled this summer by the Eagle Roll
err Mill company. On Saturday the
contract to furnish the big machine
was awarded and it goes to the Twin
City Iron Works of Minneapolis.
They have entered into an agreement
to build the engine to order and are to
have it ready for delivery in ninety
days.
When finished and ready to be set
up the new stationery, which is to be
a Corliss. compound, will have ca
pacity of fully TOO horse power It
will weigh 80, 600 pounds and the bal
ance wheel alone will tip the scales at
$4,000 pounds. Owing to the very
limited floor space it was impossible
for. the mill to install the 'scross CON-
pound, style of engine, which has the
cylinders on both sides of the balance
wheel. Instead, the machine which
the Twin City Iron Works has prom
ised to deliver will be what is known
as a tandem compound" having
both the cylinders on the same side
and placed one before the other.
The machine will also have a steam
condenser, similar to the one now con
nected with the big engine at the mill
which will be sunk in a pit beneath
the walls of the engine house.
/ Plans for the latter are now being
drawn. It is to be OF special design
