Crookston, Minn May 12.--Crookston's famous
Carnegie $12,5O0 public library proposition as
suined a new phase today as a result of the de-
cision of Judge William Watts of the district
court in the Injunction brought against the
council to restrain further work on the plans
building
Judge Watts makes the injunction permanent
and restraints the city council from erecting the
library, even tho $12, 500 has been donated to
the city for the purpose by Andrew Carnegie.
The decision is based upon state law relating to
public libraries in municipalities and their con-
troll. The judge holds that a city council, in
library matters is subservient of the library
board. which til estatutes state shall be appoint
ed by the mayor. Consequently the council,
which is composed of a faction in favor of a
lower Robert street site, will have little to
say In the location of the library.
Mr.. Carnegie donated the S12.5 500 for the
library over year ago. Plans were prepared at
the order of the city council for a magnificent
stone structure. The site was selected on East
Robert street. near the entrance to the city
park and then the fight over the matter, which
has been discussed from end of he state to
the other, started. One faction bitterly opposed
the site selected by. the council and challenged
the right Of the council to take charge of the
matter. contending thta library board should
be appointed TO handle the matter.
Accordingly, Mayor Chesterman named the
| members of the library board and each and
| every one was turned down by the city council,
which refused to confirm and went on with the
preparations Tor the library, going SO far as to
advertise for and receive bids for the work.
| The mayor sdedswith the opposers Of the coun-
Gil site, and the council chamber split on the
| subject. Then David Turner, as the representa-.
| tive of the opposing SIDE secured an injunction
restraining further progress, and now the decision
| of the judge IN the case makes it permanent
Mayor Mix, the newly elected head of the CITY
government, has named a library board which
| has been confirmed, and it is not unlikely that
| the $4,000 which the city has had over n year
but has been unable to because of internal
dlssens1on, will be secured from the bankers in
New York, who are holding it in trust, and put
TO the practical uses to which it was originally
| intended.

DOCKS WILL BE BLOWN UP
Obstacle to Projects at International
Falls to Be Given Short Shrift.

INTERNATIONAL FALLS. MINN.-The docks
Of the Rainy River Navigation company on the
Canadian side Immediately at the head Of the
canal are SO located as to interfere with the
building Of the cofrerdam that is to be used to
turn the water of the river into the canal
while the American side Of the dam is being
built, and it will be necessary to blow them out.
New docks will be built for the company about
three blocks further east.
While the heavy rains have interfered with
the construction of the dam, they have been of
great benefit to loggers. Ali the rivers tribu-
tary to Rainy lake and Rainy river are higher
than they have been for years. and difficulty
will be experienced this spring in driving the
streams along which logging operations were
carried last winter. In addition to bringing
out last winters cut, the loggers will also
bring down all the drives that were held up
give the mills at RAINY o river a Keewatn and
Rat Portage an ample supply Of logs for the
entire season.
The boats that ply between this town and
Rainy lake points have been waiting for ter
days for the ice to 60 out. This morning word
was received that the lake was clear, and the
vessels left on their first trip.
