Sixtieth Anniversary.

The following item of news was
handed US for publication: Ole Aslak-
son and Anne Aslakson, parents OF
ex-County Auditor Nasset, celebrated
their sixtieth wedding anniversary,
Jan l, 1906. A pleasant surprise
party for the aged couple was ar
ranged. Each of them received sixty
half dollars tied up in silk baby
stocking, tied with white ribbon. Re-
freshments were served and the gath
ering had a pleasant time.
The old folks moved out to Taylor,
N. Dak., from Willmar in the fall OF
1908. They built the first log house
after the Indian outbreak in the town

In a speech made to the Num-
cipal and Commercial League at
st. Paul, Jan. 10, Gov. John A.
Johnson came out squarely in
favor of municipal ownership in
the following words: ID:
''The wisdom of municipalities con-
trolling their own public service utili-
ties is certainly one of direct and vital
concern to you and your people. I
cannot let this opportunity pass with
out the remark that the people of a
municipality are entitled to their wa
ter, their light and kindred other SER
vice, at the cost of that service. A
city controlling the streets and other
highways which has the right to con-
fer chartered privilege upon private
individuals to control these utilities,
ought to bear in mind that, as pure
ly business proposition, it is wise and
prudent that they control their own
public service utilities. Students of
economics have proved conclusively
that the service to the people is al
ways better aud supplied at lesser
cost when supplied by the city direct
than when supplied by private indivi-
duals under a chartered or corpora
ton right, and every city should think
we'll before it parts with these great
privileges

BY HOWARD FIELDING

~N the first day Of every year l

~ ming. This Is inevitable; it has
become habit. I quarrel with
that man on other days also, but they
have no settled places in the calendar.

day, and one Of them always relates to

the better Of him and to make an end
Of the violent and bitter controversy
between us.
I will explain as briefly as possible
my grievance against Sir Robert. If
told in full the story would be long and
would involve many wrongs which l
shall not mention here. 1 will try to
make the whole matter comprehensive
by relating only the pitiful romance in
which Sir Robert and Sylvia Mayne
and Arthur Tyrrell were the principal
characters. This takes me back to the
time when Sir Robert was living in the
town Of Barlock. near Birmingham.

not had an accurate description of Bar
lock, but know what happened there.
1t was in the highest degree important
to me.
Robert Denning inherited from his
father the remnant Of considerable
fortune, including controlling interest
in bank. The bank was in q bad way
and threatened to involve the whole es-
tate In disaster, but Robert put it's af-
fairs to rights within one year after he
took charge Of it, for he was a much
better business man than his father had
been. The two had differed radically
upon questions Of business policy, and
they were estranged at the time Of the
elder Denning's DEATH
One Of Roberts first administrative
acts was to demand the resignation of
the banks cashier, who was old and
somewhat feeble and would have with
drawn voluntarily except that he had a
wish to toll a few weeks more and
round out forty years of service. Be-
sides, there was the matter of a pen
sion which he had been led to expect,
but did not get. On the day when he
was finally compelled to yield his place
to more serviceable man be said to
Robert by way of farewell:
you're great man o. business, a
grand man o. business You've done
much for this bank already, and I'll not

A local railroad company has
been organized at Fergus Falls
to run a preliminary survey for
railroad to Wheaton or some ad-
jacent point. 1t hopes to induce
either the Milwaukee or the 500
to build the road. A similar
movement by people interested
from GlenWood to Hutchinson
via Willmar would bring another
road through this county quicker
than anything else, and would
place it where it is needed the
most.

The Hepburn interstate COM
MERGE bill increases the number
of commissioners from five to
nine, and raises the salary of
each to $4,000 a year. The in.
terstate commerce commission
has always been a dumping
ground for defeated or super
ANIMATED politicians, and as the
number of these is constantly
increasing it was considered
necessary to increase the size of
the dumping ground. But there
was no reason for raising the
pension. A pension of $4,000 a
year ought to be enough, and if
that limit had been retained it
would have been possible to in
crease the number of pensioners
still more.

Hub Creamery Meeting.

The Hub Creamery Association held
it's annual meeting at the creamery
building on Tuesday afternoon. A re-
port of last years business was SUBJ
mitted by Secretary o. N. Grue and
read as follows:
Total pounds of milk reed. 692, 480
Total pounds of cream from
hand separator. .......... 1864
Total pounds of butter made. Al PIG
Total amount of business. $40, 102. 36

dent, Jalmar Larson; secretary, N.

son; trustees, O. N. Grue, C. j. Brat.

1t was shown by experience that the
patrons who are deriving the most
good from the creamery are the ones
who haul milk the year round, and at
no season neglect to properly care for
their cows.-Green Lake Breeze.

The compiled records of Grand
Rapids, Mich, make the claim
that public ownership Of the
lighting plant has saved the city
$213,697 in seven years. The
electric light contracts Of Grand
Rapids under private ownership
dropped from $40 per arc lamp
in 1883 to 1913 in 1897. The first
year of municipal ownership
dropped the price to $48.75. 1t
is now about $40 lamp.
