IN SPECIAL
SESSION
Extended Time to Receive Bids
for Steel Bridge Over PerdidO
RiVer-WiII Not Lease
COnViCtS.

The Board of County Commission
eTs met in special session last night,
Chairman Avery presiding and Com
missiOners Sennott, Andrews, Wig
gins and Stewart present. The meet
ing was for the purpose of passing
upon petitions for liquor license.
The first matter to come up was the
bids for the steel bridge over Perdido
river, which is to be built partly by
the Baldwin county commissioners. 1t
was decided to extend the time for re-
ceiving bids until January 10Th, and
the clerk was instructed to notify the
bidders.
The application of J. L. Long to sell
liquors, was granted The applica-
tions of Lenox Guardina and Jas
Jadrievic were ordered published the
required number of times before being
acted upon.
The application of D. w. Minis &
Son was ordered published again
The board then took up the ques-
ton of granting to Warren e. Ander-
son, ]. Emmett Wolfe, w. J. Berry and
others franchise to construct an cleo
trio car line from the city limits to
Brent station along the Brent road
The intention Of the company is to
connect with the city line on North
Hill and run out to Brent, transport
ing passengers who are employed in
the factories in that section. The
company guaranteed to make a thirty
minute schedule and also to connect
with the Louisville and Nashville
tracks at Brent and haul all road build
ing material of the county over its
line free Of charge. 1t further agreed
to have she line completed and in
operation within eighteen months.
After considerable discussion the
franchise was granted.
The question of leasing the county
cOnvicts was then brought up. Mr..
McLin again appeared before the
board, and q discussion of some length
ensued as 10 the saving that could be
made by leasing the cOnvicts and en-
ploying free labor Chairman Avery
and Commissioner SennOtt favored
leasing the convicts, taking the posi-
ton that It would not only prevent
crime. but would be a great saving to
the county end furthermore better and
more work could be secured by hiring
free labor.
The other three members, however,
opposed the plan, and a motion to con-
tinue as at present was put and car
ried by vote of three to two.

MORE BOOSTING FOR CIRCUIT.
Lamb Gets Busy 1t winnipeg and Tells
Them Things.

Winnipeg Free Press: Mr.. J. NJ.
Lamb, business manager of the Win
nipeg baseball club, is quite sanguine
the Northern league will live to see
a successful season in the coming sum-
mer Notwithstanding the gloomy re-
ports emanating from Duluth, Grand
Forks and other cities in the circuit.
I'm regard to the announcement from
Duluth that the Northern league would
be. shaken and Irritation started with
the Copper country people, Mr.. Lamb
says 1t cannot be done. II the men be-
hind the Duluth club withdrew, the
franchise would simply revert to this
league, and another team could be
Tut In the Zenith city.
So far as Duluth joining the Copper
country league is concerned, Mr.. Lamb
points out that both the Northern and
Copper leagues are members of the
National association, and Duluth could
no. more jump to the other organiza-
ton than one player can hop around
from one team to another. Mr.. Lamb
still believes that four of the strong
est Copper country clubs will affiliate
with like number from the Northern
and 80 make one strong compact cir
cult.
He believes that the baseball en-
thusiasts of Grand Forks and Fargo
will insist on their cities retaining
their franchises, and come forward
again with the same generous assist
ance as in past years.

ARE FOR BASEBALL.
Westhope Citizens Full of Enthusiasm
and Push.

Especial to The Evening Timesl
Westhope is one of the progressive
towns, and up-to-date along more
lines than one. The Evening Times
man met with warm welcome when
he arrived there last Saturday. The
insurgents" in Westhope are broad
minded and ready to accept the
square deal" doctrine of The Times.
A strong indication of the up-to-date
and push qualities of the Westhope
citizens is shown in the liberal con-
tribution given toward supporting a
baseball team for the season of 1906
1t took just two hours to raise 5000.
They expect to place on the slab one
of the best twirlers that money can
secure. This enterprising town has
one of the best bands in North Da-
kota. During the day The Times man
was in town, the fire bell rang twice,
but the way the fire boys got into
action, there was very soon nothing
doin' in the fire line. The merchants
carry large stocks of merchandise and
the crowds of farmers buying goods
and machinery to start farming opera
lions indicate that business is done on
the square deal plan.
A disappointed politician who has
been spreading the doctrine of "gang
rule" all along the line and on the
side lines, met with very chilly re-
ception in a number of places. He
tried to get his hooks into The Times
man at Westhope and Souris, but when
he seen crowd subscribing for the
big paper" it made the brine flow
from his optics like rain drops. He
imagined that his heading into the
crowd was going to .just wipe The
Times man off the map. A few more
insurgents" of the school this man be-
longs to, will certainly elevate the
cause of pretended reform up so high
that it will never get back to earth
again. He claimed that he was out
to head off The Times, but when he
got through with the first big jolt,
felt like the Frenchman in Pembina
who had taken in too much territory.

run on the Great Northern from st.

two other runs and finally found my
self on the Moorhead Northern which
extended from Moorhead to Halstad

at was in Moorhead that I at first
met Prof. Lord and he told me of
vacancies for teachers in the state of
North Dakota and helped me to secure
position. In a measure, at least,
I'rof Lord is responsible for my being

This morning w. B..Wood, one of the
genial proprietors of the Hotel Daco-

E. Y Sarles as aid-de-camp with the
rank of colonel. The commission is
dated Feb. 90, and from today anyone
calling him just plain Wood will be
fined two dollars, according to a rul-
ing of Colonel Brown since his pro-
motion to the rank of colonel.
The commission is handsome COM
pliment from Gov. Sarles, in spite of
the fact that Col Wood tries to make
it appear that the whole thing is
sort of joke and that it was conferred
for gallantry in the late fox hunt at
Walhalla. Mr.. Wood is one of the best
known men in North Dakota and is
withal a whole-souled gentleman.
Gov. Sarles evidently wanted some live
material on his staff and came to

gratulations and long life to Col.
Wood, with hopes of a speedy promo
ton to the rank of general.
