OF convenience, the city and
Thervald Jacobson have agreed
to divide the lots east and west.
IN order to allow the building to
be built a more convenient size.
The Jail will be in the basement.
We have worried along many
years with a disgraceful affair
called a city Jail, but now we
may expect something elegant
in the way of a building.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER
SWANSON EXPLAINS

To the Editor, Ward County
INDEPENDENT, Minot, ND.
To those who know that the
Optic is controlled by a few poll
ticians who do not seem to take
kindly to my actions, this ex-
PLANTATION would not be neces-
sary; but for the benefit OF those
who do not know this, or that
the Optic is no longer considered
worthy OF any attention, / d.
rect this article. Oh 0
The Optic of last week states
in an article that ':.the matter of
building county bridges at this
time is a very important one. 1t
is a notorious TACT that these
passageways are a necessity and
the building of these structures
should proceed uninterrupted"
To this l will say, what good
are the majority Of the bridges
built by the Northwestern Bridge
Company in the past year to the
farmer? The bridges are built
and paid for; but the grading of
the approaches to the bridges.
which was included in the con-
tract, is not done, and in my
opinion these brid ges will rot
where they stand before the ma
jority OF the board of county
commissioners will compel the
builder to grade them, or unless
someone is good enough to re-
lieve the builder OF the contract
Of the grading.
| Next, the Optic says: IA ma
jority OF the board OF county
commissioners is favorable to
county bridge construction, and
is granting petitions as rapidly
as the county's finances will per
init and good Judgment sane
tion.''
To this l will say, so were all
OF the commissioners, but they
were not all in favor of giving
the Northwestern Bridge Co,
1886 more than Contractor Nc.
Dougall, who is a home man,
who has always been known to
do tirst-class work, and who has
at this time all of those bridges
finished and the grading thereto
finished, while to my knowledge
there is not single bridge built
by the Northwestern Bridge Co.
that has the grading done. u
The Optic would also have the
people believe that l was keer.
ing the bridge building back,
while in reality l. was trying to
hurry it along, as my idea was
thatit would be settled in about
ten days, which amount of time
Neil McDougal would have dis
counted several times over. :@r.&
1t seems that when this was
taken into court, that the COM
missioners had a right to accept
any bid that they saw fit, which
makes the case show up more
like case of Doodle than ever,
because if this is the case, why
then most certainly the commits
sioners had the right to accept
the low bid, even though it had
been illegal, which would have
saved the county 1886, besides
having the work done right up
in good shape, and completed in
time for this seasons crop.
This is,not ALL; you will hear
from me again.

RELIGIOUS AWAKENING.

During the past year there seems TO
have been a widespread awakening Of
interest in religious matters through
out the civilized world, evident 10 the
discussions OF the subject 10 magazines
and newspapers and increased enthusi-
asm in platform and pulpit The re-
cent sweeping reviyals in Wales and
other parts Of Great Britain have
almost rivaled the Eastern war in the
columns Of the daily papers, aud the
portraits OF the promoters have sp-
peared side By side with those OF the
Car and his generals In the metrop-
oils Of our OVID State Christian people
are uniting their efforts in this direc-
tion. and the vast tabernacle is nightly
filed with thousands whose faces are
set toward righteousness.
Nowhere has this movement been
more strongly felt than in the schools
and colleges. The Y. ". G. A. and Y.
w. G. A. in the colleges Of the United
States have never had year Of such
steady and gratifying progress as that
which has just past. The young men

their organizations keep step with
those OF their brothers and sisters in
other States.

Strange as il may appear, there

ers that the same party's present

the strangest thing about the whole
proceeding IL the wonder as TO whether
the destruction will be accompanied
by the tumultous applause OF his pre-

spectacle such action presents.
