Council Decides on Addition of "a
Chemical to Fire .Equipment.


Thos. r. NJ. Johnstone, of Crook
ston, representative for Minnesota
and Dahotas of the An,erican:La-
France Fire Engine Co., again ap.
peared before the city council at
regular meeting Tuesday evening
with a written proposal for the
sale of one of the ,company's
chemical engines to the city, which
proposition was accepted.
The cost of the engine 7is $4,000,
and when received will. make a
most marked. improvement to the
local fire equipment:
. The engine is the same as is used
in the larger cities, and that the ad-
ditton is a wise move on the part
of the council: is unquestioned.
Had the city hadsuch an apparatus
at the time of the last fires the
damage in either case would have
been greatly reduced, and in the
Mesberg-H -Hauta fire could have
been almost entirely eliminated.
Mr.Johnstone expects to be able to
deliver the new engine to the city
about March 1st.

Calumet & Sonora Directors Meet


A meeting of the directors of the
Calumet & Sonora Mining Company
was held at the Office of NIL. Fay,
president, yesterday forenoon, all
directors of the corporation being
in attendance.
One point discussed at the meet
ing WAS the sadvisabiiity of advanc-
ing the price of>the stock upon the
showing made at the. property, but
it WAS finally decided to offer $500
shares of>additional stock at the
prevailing price of $500 per share.
Vice President W: J. Power, who
has recently visited the property,
made a most favorable report of the
prospect, which report will be
printed and distributed among
stockholders.
It was also the sense of the meet
ing that the company proceed with
the installation of machinery as
rapidly as possible, and that con-
tract work at the property be dis
pensed with in the future.

But the statement is looked upon

but without success.

of local business men in carrying
the mail to the train and the furth-

For short time regular service
was had over the line, but at the
expiration of the short contract the
government refused to renew at an
abnormaily low figure. it is un-

This is matter of importance
not only to the hundreds of home
steaders and residents in the Sec

forced to suffer a considerable loss

many to the west of the new line
