BUILDING THE CAR LINE.

In the midst of the agitation in the
public mind over the paving question,
the city should not overlook the inl-
portance of providing for street
railway. The needs Of such a public
utility for the city has been discussed
at length in these columns before, and
it is not necessary to reiterate the
advantages which would come from
the building and operation of such
line.
The building is, however, so closely
identified with the city paving that
it in reality becomes part of the
same public improvement. No matter
which paving material is used, it
would be much to the advantage of
the city to have the street car tracks
laid at the same time the pavement
is laid so that the two could be con-
structed together. The paving be-
tween the rails can be done far better
when the pavement is laid than after,
when the surface structure at least
would have to be torn up.
If he proposition which has been
intimated by local capitalists of lay
ing the ties and rails is possible, the
matter should have serious considera-
ton. While it is understood that no
company has as yet been formed, it
would be possible to get the organi-
cation and financing so far advanced
at an early date that the track lay
ing could be completed along with the
pavement, even if that is done during
the present summer. If this course
is possible, the city will secure at the
same time the beginning of two of the
things it must have within a remark
ably short space of time to keep, as
1t now is, in the lead as the metropo-
lis of the state and of the northwest.
Grand Forks has outgrown it's vii
lage conditions. 1t has spread until
some rapid, certain and cheap means
of transportation from one part of the
city to the other is imperative. Should
the pavement be laid there would in
all probability be objections raised by
the pessimists against tearing it up
for the building of the street car
line. But if we must have the street
cara thing which all progressive cit
liens admit-but one of two things
can be done. The suggestion of Mr..
Campbell to construct it now must
be acted upon, or the pavement must
be torn up to permit the building
later.

COUNCILNANlC POLICY.

Considerable adverse criticism,
seemingly we'll founded, is being in
dulged in by the citizens in reference
to the action of the city council in
tabling the report made by Alderman
Joy as a committee appointed by the
council to make such report. The
proper thing to have done would have
been to receive the report and have
it filed, thereby making it part of
the public record, so that in the future
the work of the committee could have
been found. AS the matter now stands,
the action of the council indicates that
it desired to smother the report, and
citizens irrespective of their adher-
ence to the one or the other kind of
pavement are openly criticising the
course pursued.
The statement OF the mayor that the
public had no moral right to interfere
with the policy of the council, is also
being criticised. 1t looks as though
it were an attempted suppression of
the voice of the people who are re-
quired to pay the expenses of the paw
ing,
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-06-03

lieved in rigid enforcement, when the
attempt was made for personal ends.
Good judgment would have indicated
some other field, and by success there
the spirit of enforcement could have
been carried from the outside and
public sentiment would have support
ed the every movement. Instead of
this condition, the governor and the
temperance commissioner have played
their trump cards and have lost. The
law is effaced from the statute books
and the element that has been op-
posed to enforcement in that county
are in the saddle flushed with victory
and triumphant. That is the senti-
ment which will go out over the state
and every violator OF the prohibition
law will take courage.
1t is now up to the attorney gen.
eral and the several states attorneys
to enforce the law. In nearly every
case they are competent to do and
the success which has marked their
efforts during the last few months is
proof positive that they can do So
But the i'll advised methods of the
commissioner have certainly made the
work more difficult.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI.
No Grass Growing Under japanese

Hand-loom weaving is not carried on
as extensively in the three provinces
!, of Manchuria as in other provinces of
northern China, possibly due to the
fact that the most of the great long
distance cart traffic in winter employs
the time of the men while the women
have to look out for the homes; also
possibly as result of the unsettled
conditions in Manchuria due to three
wars There is still large business
done, however, in the sale of yarn,
and If there was an American agent
here to Qeep the mills in touch with
the market there are times that it
would pay we'll. Ordinarily the high
er-priced raw material and labor of
the American yarn would hardly al
low competition with the Japanese and
Indian. Practically the entire yarn
trade of Manchuria is in the hands
of the Japanese firm of Mitsui Bussan

It is we'll known that the millions
of Chinese living in the northern Sec
tons of China are clothed in Ameri-
can sheetings and drills. 1t is also
we'll known that they wear no winter
outer garment, unless in mourning,
and that nearly everything is dyed
some shade of blue. 1t has been con-
sidered that on account of China's
cheap labor and the cheapness of their
dye it would not pay to dye this cloth
in America. From what have seen
of the small establishments in which
this dyeing is carried on, and the fact
that indigo dyeing on large scale
Is done very cheaply now in the

this and think it is matter worth

COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT
WILL SETTLE PAVING MATTER

The absorbing topic of conversation
on the street today is the matter of
paving. Little knots of citizens have
been assembled on every corner and
the pros and cons of the matters
have been hashed and rehashed. From
the evident interest manifested in the
matter the turnout of citizens at the
meeting OF the council tonight will
undoubtedly eclipse. at least in point
of numbers, any council meeting of
years
1t is evident that unless the Blome
people have enough names up their
sleeves which, when pulled off the
petition will cut down the majority,
the contract will go to the Creosote
Block company as provided in the
code
On this account the paving petition
has been the centre of attraction, and
the citizens will await with interest
the announcements of the special COM
mittee which Is going over the names
on the list late this afternoon.
Several legal tangles have developed
as result OF the fierce competitor be-
tween the paving companies.
Is County Signature Legal.
One of the most complicated of the
questions concerns the validity of the
signing Of the county property to the
creosote petition by the board of coun-
ty commissioners.
J. R. Poupore, chairman of the
buildings and grounds committee, is
of the opinion that he has a right to
sign petition in his official capacity,
certainly as a private citizen. How
over, ! am willing to let the contract
go any way the majority of the people
want" said Mr.. Poupore this morn
ing.
The Blome supporters claim that
the county board has no right to say
what kind of paving shall be laid in
front of the property without taking
action at a regular meeting.
City Attorneys Idea.
City Attorney Rex, when appealed
to by an Evening Times representa-
tive. stated that he had looked the
matter up.
