GARDENERS WANT SOLE
USE OF TWO SHEDS
Object to PeddIers and Hucksters oc-
cupying the Same Stalls.

At meeting Of the Growers asso-
citation in Central hall last evening the
market gardeners decided to continue
their contest for what they class as
their rights. Their principal demand is
that the city give them the exclusive
use of sheds D and E at the public
market, and that all hucksters and
peddlers be prohibited from using the
sheds. Speaking of this matter A. j.
Rowe, president of the association,
said:
1.-The trouble is that Marketmaster
Bevans uses every effort to make as
much as he can out of the market. This
association takes all of the stalls in
the two sheds for the season, and OBJ
jects to having the hucksters and ped
dlers showed into stalls that the gar
deners have rented and paid for, but
which may not be occupied at the mo-
ment. This is what has been done
heretofore and we want it stopped.
The GrocerS' association also wants it
stopped and the people would feel the
same way if they understood the case.
The grocers want to know when they
are dealing with a farmer and when
they are buying from huckster. We
do not object to hucksters and ped
dlers having the use of market stalls.
but merely want them placed where
they will not be confounded with us.
Our members have been too often
blamed for what should have been,
charged to huckster who was wrong
fully using a, farmers STALL"
The members of the executive board
were ordered to appear before the city
council market committee, called for
next Friday, and use every possible ar
gument to prevent the use of their
stalls by others in the future. 1t will
be urged that if the association did not
rent the two sheds the income from the
market to the city would not be more
than half of what it is now. The gar.
deners will be backed by committee
from the grocerS.
A number of new members were adj
mitted, bringing the total membership
I'D to almost 200.

PEACE is RESTORED
Garfield Post Veterans Conn
mune With ACker Post.


With thumbs up and olive leaves
tucked under their hat-bands as tokens
of peace, twenty members of Garfield
post, G. A. R., last evening visited the
meeting of Acker post, G. A. r., in Cen
trail hall, this being the first inter-
course between the posts since the ia
nous McCardy-statu affair of some
time ago.
The members Of Acker post accepted
the advances in tie spirit they were
evidently intended, and refrained from
referring to an incident that at one
time threatened to prove a lasting
theme of discord between the bodies.
Several humorous speeches were made
relative to the incident and it was
unanimously agreed that it should be
forgiven, if not forgotten.
DR.. c.. G. Higbee was Endorsed for
the position of medical examiner, and
Edwin F. Kenrick, of Garfield post, as
member of the department council Of
administration. These recommended
lions come up at the state encamp-
ment of the G. A. R., to be held in the
Wigwam, Minneapolis, Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week.
