of paying for sprinkling by subscrip-
tion be continued. If a sprinkling
fund were established by assessment
against the property, the money
would not be available until next
year, and meanwhile the general fund
would have to be depleted to pay for
the sprinkling. Eunace Doubt stated
that he had great difficulty in making
collections on his subscription list,
ana that he was not able to get suffici-
ent revenue to justify him in running
the sprinkler again this year. 1t was
decided to appoint committee of
the council to assist him in getting
subscriptions and to have the collec-
tions made by the city clerk. Coun-
cillors Vinje and Lund We're appoint
ed as such committee.
The matter of designating a city
depository, as requested by the. city
treasurer last week was taken up,
and the city clerk was authorized to
notify the various banks to submit
proposals for the same, stating what
interest they would pay on daily
balances, and to what extent would
accommodate the city in the cashing
of general warrants, and sewer eerti-
fcates.
Theusual grist of bills were allowed,
which will be published officially in
The Tribune next week.

receive from the central plant. First,
the cost of manufacturing which is
determined largely as in the local
creamery and second the amount of
profit the company wants for their
share. This latter factor you see may
be exceedingly variable and is entire
ly beyond the control or influence Of
the patrons. In the home creamery
the patrons can get together and re-
duce the expense by increasing the
output, but in the central plant while
the cost of manufacturing may be
lowered, the salary Of the officers
may increase proportionally thus
leaving no more for the patrons than
formerly. /.
No, the great advantage of your
home creamery is that it is within the
power of the patrons to make what
Improvement they will.
The system under which the cream
cry is to begin operation April 1st is
the best that could possible be used
under the conditions. A daily test
and daily cash payment will involve
considerable extra work but it will
give each patron an opportunity to
give it fair trial. Let every farmer
give the creamery a fair trial. 1t
means the success or failure of the
dairy industry about Morris.

Judge Duncan decided that II there

the company through indictments.
The verdict returned against the
Standard Oil company. finding that
corporation guilty of a violation of the
state anti-laws is therefore annulled,
but today's decision in no way affects
the indictments recently returned in

a20 acres of land cannot take a bome-
stead.
A deed was filed soon after this con-
test was begun. In which, Mr.. Leeper
had transferred the title to the TOO
acres of land to. his wife, before ne
filed, for a consideration Of 500. The
contestants then took. the position
that this deed did not transfer the title
Immediately. but was intended to- be a
transfer that would take effect imme-
diately after death and was made in
lieu OF a will.
The decision Of the land office holds
that Mr.. Lseper has built oae OF the
incest homes on the mountain on his
claim and had established a residence
there. It also holds that the 7o0-acrt
deed was given for valuable consid-
Grafton and that the land was trans
fered upon the making Of the deed and
the entfyman was entitled to filc..
From these conclusions they recon-
mend that the contest be dismissed.
