Rumors from the McLaskeY- camp

to go into republican caucus. The
only explanation is that combination
with the democratic aldermen for the
control of the council is contemplated.
improbable, as the fate of republicans
who train with democrats, as did
Messrs. Bradish and Woodward in the
notorious Kiichli combine, is still fresh
in the memories of the city fathers.
The chances are that if the McLas-
key faction is threatening to ignore
the caucus, it is for the purpose of OBJ
tanning concessions regarding commit
tee places and the division Of the pat
ronage. Such a position is tacit adj
mission of defeat .s -~. f..
While it is admitted that A. E. Mer-
rill is in the lead in the contest for
the presidency of the council, his cleo

L. A. Rosing of Cannon Falls, the

mitted by City Engineer Rinker to the
park board. The most economical is to
move the pavilion back sixty feet and to
build the auditorium on the present site
of the pavilion. This work will cost
about $4,000. Another plan is to build the
auditorium further out in the lake, driv-
ing whatever piling may be necessary
and protecting the piles from the action
Of the ice by cribs or an apron" This
plan is estimated to cost $1,000.
