NO SETTLEMENT OF
STREET DISPUTE
Engineer Washington Will Orr
der Work Resumed.
If il IL Not Then Done, Steps May
Be Taken to Cancel the Con-
tract with Him.
NO AGREEMENT IS In SIGHT

+ Work is still suspended on the South
Third street paving on account of the
disagreement between City Engineer
L. A. Washington and Contractor Il.
O. Terrell. AS stated Saturday, the
contractor claims that the plans and
specifications do not require him to
place concrete between the street car
ties, while the city engineer says that
they do.
Saturday afternoon a meeting of
the board of public works was held
for the purpose of settling the contro.
versy, but Contractor Terrell's attor-
ney, Lawyer Thomas Crioe, took the
position that as the contract was let
by the council, only the council can
change it. 1t was decided then not
to take any action at all, although the
acting city solicitor claims that all
public work is now under the control
Of the board of public works.
q. The city engineer states that even
the contractor and his attorney do not
agree on what the specifications call
for, the contractor claiming ono
thing. and the attorney the other.
Engineer Washington states that he
will remain firm so far as the city is
concerned, and will order the con-
tractor today to proceed with the work
or abandon the contract.
Mayor Yeiser stated that he knew
nothing of the merits OF the dis9&Seo
ment, but said that he thought thoN
city ought to abide by the decision of
the engineer. He also said that no
matter if work on South Third is sus-
pended q week or until the next regu-
lar meeting Of the boards, he will not
call special session of the council
and aldermen to settlesthe controversy
now. 81 look at il this way" ex-
planned the mayor. There is no use
putting the tax payers to the expense
of $50 or $50 for these called meet
ings, and I can't see my way clear
to do i. think the whole thing
should be left to the city engineer,
aud II the contractor is not satisfied,
let him resort to the courts
Engineer Washington explains that
the contract requires that when ex-
ira work is to be done, the city engi-
neer is to give the contractor notice.
in writing. Contractor Terrell wanR
notice in writing from the city en-
gineer SO he can continue the work.
and Engineer Washington says he will
never get 1t, and will instead be Or
dered to resume work or give up the
job.
Today it was finally decided that
the contractor resume work on South
Third street until the boards meet and
decide the question of extras. There
is now only limited supply of sand
on hand, and it 10 feared that the
work will after all be greatly delayed
on that account.

Up TO THE FATHERS.

Every father and mother in the
city that cares for his children
will applaud the determination of
the board of education to put an
end to cigarette smoking so far
as lies in their power. The sad
fact is that too many fathers and
mothers deliberately teach the.
habit to their children.
The dealers in tobaccos are not
so much to blame as are the par
ents of the city. So long as
fathers will persist in sending
their small children to the store
for tobacco, cigars and cigarettes
it will be every difficult to stop the
sale Of cigarettes to children.
The practice8is :. very common
one and is for the most part to
blame for the smoking Of cigar
cites that is done by children.
When fathers persist in abus-
ing their children it is pretty
hard for the law to protect them.

MEN D

What this northern country
wants is more men. It needs
settlers. It must have farmers.
Comparatively speaking Bel
trami county is as yet but thlnly
settled and there are thousands
of acres Of fine farming land
within convenient market dis
lance Of Bemidii that today lie
untitled and Improbable. Be
midi is prosperous but it will
be far more prosperous when it
has placed a farmer who means
business upon every quarter sec
ton in It's tributary territory.
The manufacturing possibilities
Of Bemidji are for the most part
admitted by everyone but its
possibilities as the center Of a
rich farming country are yet far
from being realized,
More aud better farming has
been done in Beltrami county in
the past two years than in all the
previous years Of its history. IN
a few years Bemidii will be the
center of a farming country that
will be one Of its big assets.
Speed the day!

The Eight-Hour Day

Of late years majority of trades
and professions have achieved the
the 10 hour day, and now We hea,
on almost every side a further ad-
vocacy of a shorter day-the eight
hour day, Now without even con
sidering the employer In this mat
ter. Is jus,e Is 1t really best fol
the laborer? Would 1t do justice
to the msj ority of them? Of course
there are places and positions
where even eight hours are too
long to endure the strain connect
ed with them. but those are usually
worked by shifting" and cannot
be considered In this question.
Let as consider a man proficient
In his trade or profession, earning
from 80 to IS cents per hour, and OF
course eight hours work would be
productive of q satisfactory income
to him, yet In order to command
proficient men at all times we must
keep on creating them, which
means that thousands Of unskilled
men must be started and taught,
step by step, each year. Now
whether these green hands are
young or middle aged, married or
single, their starting wage is about
12H or IS cents an hour. In view
of these facts, would not the extra
two hours mean much to them.
Think Of the many little items of
expense that two hours'wages each
day would balance. Are not many
men willing and have not many
worked even more than 10 hours
a day during their start In GER
tain branch of labor? Then again,
there are those earning good wages
whose families are larger and ex-
penses heavies, who are glad to be
allowed the 10 hour day. Many, too,
desire by steady labor In younger
days to build up a home and lay
by provision for older life, and can
II be considered unwise?
Our system does not require more
than eight hours rest. Then, add
Ing to this the labor hours, includ-
Ing the noon hour; their Is still left
of the day FIVE hours to be divided
between morning and evening, as
the laborer himself chooses. And
Is not that sufficient rest? Carefully
stuaylng all phases of the question
would the eight hour system be a
benefit to a majority of our present
10 hour workers.
