At Home.

When Robert G. Dunn comes to
northern Minnesota he is right at
home. No man in Minnesota has
done so much for this section of the
State as the Republican nominee for
governor. During the time that Mr..
Dunn was State auditor he not only
saved the State hundreds of thou
sands of dollars but he saved the
homesteaders of northern Minnesota
hundreds of homes. This is not
mere empty campaign boast for there
| is scarcely a township in northern
| Minnesota but what has hOmesteader
who knows it's truth from his own ex-
perience.
| But beyond these personal services
which Mr.. Dunn has rendered to so
many of the common people of this
end of the State, his official acts as
State auditor have contributed in a
large degree to the development of
northern Minnesota. No more ardent
friend of drainage exists than Mr..
Dunn, and it is largely to his insist
ence in former years that the work of
| draining the swamps of northern Min
nesota was first entered upon. Mr..
Dunn has always looked upon north
ern Minnesota as teeming with fruit
full resources and he has bent every
energy, personal and official, to put
this section in a position where we
can realize from these resources.
Mr.. Dunn is right at home when he
comes to northern Minnesota and no
man in the State has a warmer well
come than he.-Bemidji Pioneer.
Dunn and johnson.
We expect a good deal more from
Dunn in the governors chair than we
would from johnson. Dunn has some
ideas on taxation and has done more
to put those ideas into operation when
he was auditor than any other man in
| office in the State at any time. And
whatever may be said about Dunn, he
is man who does things. He is COM
mitted to the execution of platform
of principles, which are the sentiments
OF the progressive party of the State,
the same principles that Van SAINT
stands upon and has been carrying
| out. The same interests that have
always opposed Van SAINT are now
opposing Dunn. Those who believe
the platform and principles of the Re-
publican party are wrong will be ex-
pected to and should vote for the Dem
ocratic nominee for governor. But
Republicans should not be carried
away by prejudice. Voters should
exercise sober judgment and vote for

aside for sinking fund TO pay off
the bonds when matured.
In the past we have had sinking
funds lost in broken banks, loaned
to expositions and lost, and in the
case of the fire bonds, road bonds
and electric light bonds no sinking
fund at all has been provided.
My own general idea for the
proper conservation and invest
ment of the sinking fun is that
the bond trustees should not only
have the the selling of the bonds,
but that they should be made re-
spOnsible for the collection and
proper investment of the sinking
fund, and be placed under bond for
the proper performance Of their
duties. A city ordinance should
also be passed providing for the
laying aside by the council and
paying over to the bond trustees
the amount of the sinking fund out
of the first collection for taxes each
year. A better scheme than this
may quite possibly be evolved. If
50, it will receive my hearty sup
port.
In conclusion, | will again urge
on everyone here tonight the i'm
portance of active work during this

of the ordinance.

had all been thoroughly presented TO
the members at previous meeting.
For the information of all citizens
who are not members of the Board of
Trade I desire now to supplement
that address and give the facts and
figures pertaining to the electric light
plant
On January l, 1904, the city's books
showed a debit balance against the
plant Of 81, 9O5. 13, to this should be
added the interest on the S14,5 800 of
electric light bonds for the 5 -
years that the city has owned the
plant, the sinking fund that should
have been laid aside for the retirement
of the bonds at maturity 1925 a year
sOr 1-2 years (the bonds running 20
years, and one twentieth of S14, 500
being S725), and $500 collected in
advance from the consumers. These
items made total amount of 81, 975. 10
which should be charged against the
plant, but in this is included an
amount for sinking fund sufficient
to retire more than one quarter of
the bonds issued for the purchase of
the plant.
The plant should now be credited
with the amount that the city would
have had to pay for its lightning had
the plant continued in the possession
of private corporation.
Previous to the purchase of the
plant the city paid for lighting 228.15
per month, 1-2 years at this rate
amounts to $15,O57.9O. Interest on
money laid aside for sinking fund for
average time at 4 per cent. amounts
to S438.62 and on January 1st, 1904, the
supplies on hand amounted to 800.
The total of these items is $15, 1862
which should be credited to the plant.
This calculation shows a balance in
favor of the plant of $3.921.39 in adj
ditiOn to which over one quarter of
the bonds originally issued to pur-
chase it has been put aside and moth
ing at all has been said about the
large amount of line extension whic
has been added and which strictly
speaking should have gone to the
credit of capital account.
l think no one who studies these
figures, which can be verified at the
office of the city clerk, can avoid the
the conclusion that the electrict light
plant is a good property for the city
TO own.

then the scrip which pays this

The boy was more of a person than
you would think from his size.
The boxes numbered eight or more
and made a small wagon load, but
the boy was carrying them alone
when string broke and into the mud
they went.
White flannel caps were in the
boxes and a number of them were
more or less coated in mud when they
reached the sidewalk.
The boy told me that the man at
the factory did not put enough string
around the boxes.
Now, that is human nature, isn't it?
You or | would have said the

Have you ever known a boy who
would have said that he neglected to
have more string put on the boxes?
The boy either neglected to audit
the string when he took the boxes or
else he decided wrong about it.
We can sympathize with the boy
and all who were blamed or worried

gray walls on which the sunshine
broods all day, with perhaps a decap-

The destruction of vegetation a2-

Visiting with friends and attending

This morning | noticed an employer
looking at an employe who was visit

thought it out of order and the en-

the latter was between two fires, duty
and duty.
Duty to the employer and duty to
the friend who called were in conflict.

friends from calling, but could not

promoted had caller who wanted
to leave a package for him and who
could not make the right change. The
man just promoted overpaid him and
requested him to leave the package
and change at the inquiry window.
This plan saved time and commotion
and showed that Mr.. Just Promoted
was thinking in advance.
A general manager tells me that he
must secure plan for taking less
time with callers either by having
hours for callers or more diplomacy
or a retreat for work.
One man who was just finishing a
directory told caller that he was
so busy he could not take time to
trade dimes for gold dollars.
