of the light plant to make monthly

reports.
It was after 1 o'clock in the morn
ing when the second round Of fun be-
gan. The crowd had been quietly
doing on their chairs and the weary
reporters had taken several maps, not
even the slow work of the recorder as
he spent minute On reading the title
of bill having any attraction-when
Engineer Powers arose and started
the ball. He wanted to know what
his work was, and stated if he was
expected to do the work being done by
him at the present time he wanted
more money. He said some of the
council had been talking about his
not earning his salary. Burlow con-
fessed he was guilty, but as the talk
was not done in council to which re-
porters of this paper are admitted, no.
body knew what the talk was. Super
intendent Allard came in and stated
to the council that if nothing else
could be done to give Powers a fair
deal that he was willing to have $40
per month taken from his own salary
and given to Powers. Sherlock said
there was all sorts of talk about the
plant not earning money and that the
electricity was furnished by the plant
and delivered to consumers who did
not pay for it. That there was sew
eral thousand dollars Of that kind of
matter lying, in the office now and no
effort was being made to collect the
money. The recorder spat twice and
said that he would be blanked If he
would try to collect them. Barlow
got warm and spoke eloquently with
his fist. Just at this point, the fire
whistle blew and Powers told Barlow
to run the engine If he wanted to.
Things got somewhat like a Baltimore
election, and the council adjourned
till Wednesday night of next week.

The convention Unanimously adopt
ed the following resolution:
Resolved, that we consider ourselves
fortunate in having as our citizen and
neighbor, Senator A d. Stephens, who
has so ably represented us in the state
senate. We heartily commend his I'M
firing efforts in the interests of our
community and the state at large.
Through his efforts the loaning of pub
lie moneys at per cent interest for
drainage purposes became a law,
which is of inestimable value to the
agricultural interests of the state. The
building of the agricultural college in
this county, and the promotion OF
drainage in general stand as monu-
ments of his efforts.
We heartily favor the nomination Of
Senator Stephens for governor, and
pledge ourselves to use every honor
able means to accomplish this end.

put itself behind such movement.
BY means of "Y" at Ardoch or
Forest River access to 500 line points,
freight and passenger service. should
be secured from this city without the
cost and delay Of transfer. There
should also be put in effect distance
tariff established to points on the 500
out from Grand Forks. either volun-
tarily by the connecting roads or COM
PEELED by the railroad commission, or
by law.
Minnesota enjoys better distribut-
ing rates than are given to any North
Dakota city. We should be able by
legislation or taxation to compel the
railroads of this state to serve us as
cheaply as they are compelled to serve
Minnesota jobbing and distributing
points.
"a connection somehow from Grand
Forks with the territory lying south
west of us is of supreme Importance.
We now are seeing the extension of
the Aneta branch westward into the
territory that is geographically ours,
yet because of our ability to get
across, a twenty-five mile space is be-
ing commercially absolutely cut of
from, and lost to us.
I'VE should not sit down idly and
see these things go on without pro-
test or effort to correct. Why is there
no more active, positive aggressive in
terest taken in matters which con-
Germ us so deeply?
plans for betterments at this point,
involving the expenditure here of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars for
property and buildings by the Great
Northern railroad is evidence of this
company's confidence in the future
growth of this city and should be q
cue for action on the part of every
man engaged in business here. Lay
your plans, get facilities for increased
business, then go after the business. {"
In Conclusien.
In closing his address President
Lander expressed the hope that the
club would be able to keep itself out
of politics. Said he:
II again ask that members be liber-
al with their time and thought as thew
are in financial way in the support
of the clubs efforts. AS to the work
for the coming year. we have to fol-
low up the matters already under
taken, and not yet accomplished. paw
ing, pure milk, new hospital and pub
lie park agitation. For new subjects
l again suggest campaign for cleaner
streets and alleys, extension of city
limits, also that determined effort
be made to secure mattress factory,
overall factory and a wholesale drug
house, wholesale furniture house and
a wholesale hardware house."
Prof. Brannon OF the milk inspection
committee reported progress and Judge
Carothers called attention to the en-
deavor that was being made to short
en- the haul of gravel from the pit to
the filter by means of new trackage.
On motion Of R. B. Griffith the presi-
dent was authorized to appoint a COM
mittee Of three to cooperate with the
railroad committee in the matter Of
securing more favorable rates.

RESRZzE&

If no attorney appeared. Judgment
could have been entered in behalf of
Collins client. and against the city.
+ Collins made several futile attempts
to explain but looked as much en-
barrassed and i'll at ease as a man
caught huSging the servant girl. He
wanted the city to pay part of his
clients cost, but this met decidedly
cool reception. He finally agreed to
enter into stipulation with Massee G
Finlayson. who were employed to
prosecute the case. to have it go over
until the next term of the district
court SO that the council could pro-
tect its interests.
The reading of the minutes could no
longer be dispensed with and the tor
ture came In accumulated quantities,
the voice of the recorder sounding
like the falling of gravel on a dry
board. Sherlock made some correc-
tions and then they passed into his
tory.
A petition was received from num-,
Der of citizens asking that the Long
bridge" be not closed. It seems the
impression had gotten out that the
council meant to close that thorough
fare when the matter of repairing the
old bridge was up This is not the
idea. The plan was to open the old
bridge and allow the traffic to cross
that when it go desired but leaving the
other open also. The petition was
received and fled. but no action was
taken on 1t. as the object for which
it was presented was not contemplated
by the council.
A petition for sewer on Allen ave-
nue. was received and after long
informal discussion among the coun-
Gil It was decided to have Engineer
Gray lay out one block of sewer and
report to the council at its meeting
next Wednesday night.
The Tri-State Telephone company
asked for right to use the streets
and alleys for the running of Its long
distance line from Grand Forks to
Thief River Falls and the erection of
long distance booth in the city. It
was. proposed to grant the same by
resolution. when Attorney Massee,
who had become the seeming advisor
of the council, stated that such a right
could only be granted by ordinance.
Collins took issue. and the council re-
ferred the matter to the committee
on ordinances to draft an ordinance
covering the same.

is A FINE IDEA
County Board to Enclose Court
house-Extension of Chest
nut Street.

AS was indicated in the proceed
ings of the city council at the session
Monday, deal has been completed by
and between the city and county Of
Grand Forks whereby the county
trades a 5O-foot lot opposite the
Fourth street fire hall for the 25-foot
lot upon which the fire hall now
stands.
The purpose of this deal, it is learn
ed, is that of the county's acquiring
the property to the north of the court
house-the entire block If possible
with view to removing the buildings
and improving, and enclosing the en-
tire courthouse grounds.
In this connection there is also some
talk of deal with the city whereby
Chestnut street may be extended
through from Fifth street to Fourth
street in the rear of the Hotel North
ern. This would make the intersec-
ton of Fourth street and Kittson ave-
nue. the meeting point of five streets
or parts of streets, and would, 1t is
averred, add greatly to the beauty of
that particular portion of the city,
besides increasing the value of the
county's property.
The trade between the city and
county was on an even basis with
no boot.
