last Saturday, while working at the

the saw when 1t was in motion, and his
hand was caught and badly lacerated.
DR. sawyer was called, and on examina-

tatoes by the Fourth, and according to
their own statements they will have an

garden vegetables of any kind would do
well to SEE them before they contract
with out-of town parties. They expect
to have some of their garden fruit on
exhibition at the Waterville fair, also at

FIRST VARDERS PLAN
PAYNE AVENUE BANK
Movement Started at Meeting
of Ward Improvement
Association

A movement for a state bank on Payne
avenue was started last night at a meet
ing of the First Ward Improvement asso-
citation, and a mass meeting of citizens
will be held next week for the purpose of
making arrangements for the establish
ment of the institution. A committee
composed of DR.. r. o. Earl, David Ham
mergren, Frank Holcomb, G. E. Carlson,
w. w. Dunn, Charles Skoogland, Louis
Johnson, Arthur brewery, Charles Hill
strom and John E. Holt was appointed to
take charge of the movement.
David Hammergren called the atten-
ton of the members of the association
to proposition made by a few men who
propose to establish a bank on Payne ave-
nue. if sufficient interest is taken in the
project, and they pledged their support.
The business men of the ward will be
canvassed and it is expected that at the
mass meeting definite measures will be
taken. The time for the mass meeting
will be decided upon within few days.
The association adopted a resolution
urging the council to order the st. Paul
Gas Light company to place its wires
which are now strung on poles on the
west side of Payne avenue in conduits
underground. The Northwestern Tele-
phone company three months ago put
wires which were on the east side of the
street underground and the residents and
business men of the street now want the
gas company's poles removed.
The legislative representatives of the
ward were instructed to support the free
text book bill which will be introduced
at the present session. l. o. Cederberg
expressed regret that the charter amend
ment was not passed and declared that
the only recourse the advocates of the
free text book system now have is in a
state law.

COLD DAY
Mercury Refuses to Come Up
Over Zero Line

Apparently determined not to release

look another decided tumble q; es
Even the weather man INDUCED In
hopes yesterday that warmer weather
was at hand, but it is now declared
that not until Sunday will there be
any relief from the biting atmosphere
that brings ear muffs in demand.
Though there was little wind yester-
day. and though the sun had full sway.
the mercury could not be induced to go
above the dividing line. The highest
reached during the day was early in the
afternoon when zero was registered.
The temperature remained practically
stationary until night set in, when
there was a decided change.
Piercing cold, but with little wind
and that not from the north, last night
was like those of the present week
gone before. At midnight unofficial
thermometers showed a temperature of
below.
With the exception of Canada the
temperature was nearly the same
throughout the Northwest. Winnipeg
still remains in the power of the cold
wave, the temperature at that place
varying from 10 to 26 below. Other
Canadian points reported range of
from 8 above to below
There was one noticeable change in
the weather map yesterday, in that it
indicated the southwark progress of
the cold wave. South Dakota, which
has escaped subzero temperatures, re-
ported below at Huron, and below
at Pierre
