Congress seems to be in an amiable

we really want it to fix up our precinct
boundaries for us, now would be a
good time to ask it to.

TO LEASE PIPE LINES.
Offer of Mr.. Lawrence Nicolai Under
Consideration by Commissioners.

Advancing the argument that the two oil
pipe lines beneath the streets In Southeast
Washington are public utilities, similar in
many respects to the hay scales, etc, Law
renee Nicolai local oil dealer, in a letter
to the Commissioners. makes severe criti-
cism of the expressed intention of the local
authorities to lease the lines to the Stand
ard Oil Company at fixed rental per
year. He declares that the privilege should
be let by the fixing of an upset price and
public auction, and concludes his letter by
making a fiat offer of 81 600 per year for
one of the two lines or 5000 for both. This
offer the Commissioners have taken under
consideration, and Commissioner Macfar-
land stated that he had invited his two col
leagues into conference at the earliest avail
able moment to determine what action
shall be taken 1t is probable that Cor
poration Counsel Thomas will either be
ter will be referred to him for report on the
legal aspects of the case
One of the problems which the local au-
thorities will be called upon to solve IN
connection with the releasing of the pipe
lines will be whether the original acts OF
Congress implied that the Standard on
Company, by bearing the expense OF laying
one of the lines. and by purchasing the
owners interest in the other, secured an
ton of paying promptly the rental demand
ed by the Commissioners. Commissioner
mcfarland yesterday ordered that a new
lease for the year 19o6-0I be not executed
with the Standard OIL Company until the
matter is settled.

Western Textile Co. Growing.

Two or three months ago we noted
in these columns the incorporation
of the Western Textile Go. by Mr..
E. w. Hoyt and associates, and the
fact that they were to erect a build
ing near the Union Fibre Co. IS plant
This they did, and they no sooner got
under way until they found that the
demand for their production was so
great that another building would be
necessary, so they are just completing
the erection of building 24x70. A
spur of track from the Milwaukee
tracks the full length of the company's
grounds has also been built, and if we
mistake not. the south side will in
less than year be buzz of industry,
for the many different articles
manufactured in these various build
ings will necessitate the employment
of a large number of men. Mr.. Hoyt
is doing great deal for the city
with his various Industries, all of
which bid fair to become permanent
successes of considerable magnitude.

received the hearty applause they
merited. Those who heard the concert

more this season. AS consequence

tomorrow has been cancelled, as well

When child of seven, she was left

PROMINENT CITIZEN PASSES AWAY.
Mr.. Knut Thompson, Pioneer Resident Of
DEBORAH, Dies alter Short Illness.

One of the best known residents of
DEBORAH and Winneshiek county, a
man who had been directly associated
with the growth of the city and
county, and one who was perhaps as
we'll known Throughout the county as
any other person, Mr.. Knut Thomp-
son. passed away at his home in this
city Sunday morning at one O'Clock,
after an illness of twelve days from
cystitis.
He was born in Hardanger, Nor
way, Feb. z, 1884, came TO America
in 1854. coming direct to this county.
For time he conducted farm in
Pleasant township, was later sheriff
of the county, also conducted hotel
in DEBORAH, and for many years past
has lived in this city and has had
much to do with the settlement of
estates for his countrymen, and
attending to their private business.
He has also been prominent member
of the United Lutheran church. and
connected with its councils. In 1860
he married Miss Julia Nesheim, to
whom seven children were born, one
boy dying in infancy, and four daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Josie Haugen of Lac qui
Parle county, Mimi, Mrs. N. N.
Quandahl, Ida and Mamie, and two
sons, Theodore and Walter, with the
wife and mother. surviving.
The funeral services were held yes
terday afternoon at two O'Clock from
the home and at 2 80 O'Clock from
the united Luthern church, Rev. j. o.
Haugen officiating, with interment
in the Norwegian cemetery.
Mr.. Thompson was a man of remark
able constitution. During all his long
life he never called physician until
his last illness, and scarcely knew
what pain was. He still retained all
of his teeth, and never had toothache.
His loss in the community will be
deeply felt. So many families depend
ed upon him for advice and counsel.
that he was in constant demand, and
it may be said of him that he never
proved false to trust. What more
could be said of any man?
