The Minstrel entertainment at the
Duluth Heights Fire Hall Thursday
night was hummer in every respect.
1nere was good attendance and ev-
erybody was thoroughly pleased with
the programme. Most of the credit Of
the entertainment is due to Mrs. VIM.
Pennell whose untiring energies were
devoted to it's success. Walter Boutin
ana Herb Wilson were the end men.
and their numerous local jokes caused
continuous roars of laughter. Every
person in the show was a real live
coon. Jack Garrock with a rich tenor
was great. Mrs. Pennell missed her call
ling and should have followed the stage
asa profession. Leroy Coons made a
stump speech in negro fashion. His
local. references of wit furnished con-
siderable amusement. Mrs. Boutin and
MRS. Wood entertained with solos. Both
were quite original. Fred Hubbard
made the hit in the second part with
a solo. Roy Blake and Hattie Arm
strong were both good.
The plantation scene in the last act,
containing several good songs and re-
presenting the entire company, was one
OF the best ever shown on the Heights.
Altogether, considering the difficult
Ties under which the rehearsals were
held, the enterl ainment was indeed
creditable. During some of the even
ms set for rehearsals many Of those
taking part were obliged to stay away
on account of Sickness The proceeds
OF the entertainment will go to the
support Of the church.

The people are about to vote on the
question of an issuance of bonds for
construction purposes of the water and
light department during the coming
year. The question of u bond issue
should always be given earnest consid-
Grafton in order that your vote when
cast shall be cast for the best interests
Of the oity.
The board OF water and light com
missioners state that the bonds are
necessary if the supply OF water ana
gas to the public is to keep pace with
the growth Of the city and the demands
of the public. They point out the
necessities of the case and the facts
which justify the issuance Of the bonds
as follows:
The growth Of the business has been
such that the department has due it In
unpaid accounts and III materials on
hand, morn than $4,000 at the close OF
each month. This fixes. approximate.
ly, the amount necessary for the de-
partmeut to have in it's business as
working capital.
The cost OF construction for
1900 was ...................$23 ,736
l9Ul was 4l.V4l
19 905 was Observation-Disclosures 1881 3S1
1913 was ...:.......:...:;.. oe,z34
quirements for the coming year will
exceed $4,000.
After the department has received the
$4,000 still due it from the bond issue
granted last year, it will then have
invested in construction from it's saw
ings $34432, which leaves with the de-
partment only sufficient of it's savings
for working capital, and it will have to
use in addition to the $4,000 asked
for, practically all of it's savings for
the year 1904 in order to meet the de-
mands Of the public during the year.
Extensions Of water and gas mains
are made only where the guaranteed in
come from consumers equals or ex-
ceeds per cent Of the cost of the
extensions pettioned for.
Those who have the benefits of gas
and wt.er should not deny the same
benefits to those who are willing to
guarantees all income Of per cent on
the extensions made necessary to sup
ply them.
All money secured from the issuance
Of bonds goes directly into construction
I'll 'Ai% Ddole VI odl0 per cent guar"

into extensions of mains to protect

Of the city, and all applications for

council.

of Russian concessions, proceeds:

SLAMS under the influence of Japanese Off
GERS who are forcing them to act against
the wishes of the Korean government, the
