M MAYOR A. A. CARTER.
... "HAS MADE GOOD

AS the time approaches for the
annual election of city officers,
considerable interest is being
manifested in the choosing of
candidates for the Offices of
mayor, aldermen, and the other
branches Of city government.
Mayor A. A. Carter, who has
served the city acceptably to the
majority of the citizens of Be-
midi during the past year, is a
candidate for reelection and
there are many reasons why he
should be given a second term,
and these reasons are being ad-
vanced by a large portion of those
residents of the city who are
property own 5rs and who have
the best interests of the city at
heart.
During his term of Office,
Mayor Carter has al ways been a
front-rank "booster" for this
city, and he has never spoken ill
OF any business man or private
citizen of this place, nor has he
discouraged the investment of
capital from outside sources or
acted otherwise than an intensely
loyal citizen Of his home town.
On the contrary, many of the
good things which have been de-
veloped here can be directly
traced to his untiring efforts and
personal labors.
Mr.. Carter was the instiga tor
of the esta blishing of the present
Bemidji handle factory and re-
NAMED with that concern until il
was on it's feet and doing a good

H. P. B urroughs a Strong Candidate
H. P. Burroughs, proprietor Of
the City Hotel, IS a candidate for
election to the Office of alderman
from the Fourth ward, and his
candidacy is meeting with much
approval on the part of the voters
in his ward.
Mr.. Burroughs is making q
clean campaign, and he says of
the matter: II have nothing to
say against my opponent. How
ever, there are some matters of
Importance to the whole city that
I should like to see taken care
of, and if I should be elected, I
will do my very best to serve the
city faithfully and well. Z"
Mr.. Burroughs has made a
success of his personal business
and has always been a progress
sive, but conservative, citizen,
man into whose keeping the
affairs of his ward may be en-
trusted with the assurance that
all Will be we'll. Mr.. Burroughs
has made no promises to anyone
and would not be hampered in
any way, should he be elected as
alderman from the Fourth ward.

WORK PROGRESSING ON
: LIGHT AND WATER PLANT
Mayor William Lennon Says KelIiher's
New Municipal Possessions will
Soon Be Completed.

William Lennon, the mayor of
Kelliher, who was in the city
yesterday, says of the electric
light and waterworks plant which
is being installed in that village:
"Kelliher now has a system
of lightning that gives the village
a very metropolitan appearance.
A new electric light plant has
just been completed and will
soon be turned over to the vii
lage authorities for acceptance.
The plant consists of one high
speed Lycoming engine, which
is directly connected to a 700
light generator, made by the
Minneapolis Electrical Machinery
company. There are, at present,
seven large arc lights, advantage
ously placed, which give a fine
light that rivals the rays of
old Sol' himself. Many private
parties are putting in interior
lights, and the number will be
greatly increased as fast as the
necessary wiring can be done.
THE work of installing first.
class waterworks system is pro-
crossing nicely, despite the ad-
verse weather conditions and
other draw backs, and It is ex-
pected that the system will be in
readiness for use in early spring.
A large surface will be completed
in about ten days to supply
water for the town until such
time as a deeper well can be
driven. The foundation for the
steel tower and tank is pleted
and the contractors will have the
laying of the mains and erection
of the tank and tower completed
within the next two months.
This will give Kelliher a fine up
to date waterworks and electric
lighting system; in fact, persons
we'll informed tell me that it will
be as good as any ia the state,
though comparatively small.
The electric light plant yet
in the hands Of Messrs, Stoner
& Jewett, the village engineers,
but will be turned over to the
village as soon as the new super
intendent arrives"

the valuation OF horses in the country

value Of all the cattle, sheep and hogs

months over 10 per cent, there is
promising future for the industry. It

temptation of the lights and carriages

But. Ludovic,' she cried. in tones
of establishment. 81 should think
you'd see It,"
| See what?"
Lady Alice had to brace herself be-
| fore she replied. 1t was no easy
thing to deal at her brother the blow
which must inflict on him lifelong
pain. She had to remind herself
again that he was the head of the
house of Holroyd. and must, at all
costs. be true to the history and ira
d1tions of his race. Paula Traffor1
might be charming in herself, but 40
Holroyd could look upon the marriage
as other than family disaster "The
daughter of notorious, low born Yam
lxee freebooter" their uncle, Lord
George, had called her, when the en-.
eagement was announced to him; and
much as Lady Alice liked Paula for
her own sake she could not deny that
the designation was Just. It was a
case in which Ludovic had to be saved
from himself, but. even so, Lady Alice
argued, she would have had the weak
ness to spare him If Paula had only
loved him.
See what?" she exclaimed echo
| ing her brothers. words. "See that
the girl is dying on her feet, be-
cause"
Because" he broke in, "she's go.
ing to marry me-"
Not quite that. Ludovic. But be-
cause she isn't going to marry Roger

"And-what happened?"
"You make me say it, Ludovic,

time you came back from the Cape,
Paula became engaged to Roger Win

might have been married, only that
Roger wouldn't accept, nor let her &C.

it was all broken off, naturally
enough. There! Now you know all
there Is. to know You'll hate me as

AS they rolled on the rest of their
