which time has been spent in Little

duct Of the business.
In severing our connection with the
Democrat, after twenty-five years of
existence, we felt many regrets, but
consideration of the health and COM

the balance and outweighed all other
considerations.
Our quarter Of a century of existence

trust our successor may be accorded a
full measure of kindly consideration.

offer Monday evening from T. G.
Gordon, secretary of the Little Falls
Water Power company, says the
Brainerd Dispatch, Offering to deliver
electric current on the switchboard in
Brainerd for three cents per k. w. for
the first 40, 600 per month, 2 1-2 cents
for the next 10000 k. W. per month
and cents per k. W. for all over
60, 600 k. W. per month.
The proposition of the Little Falls
Water Power company was laid on the
table pending the report of George
Cadogan Morgan which would arrive
the 10Th instant.
The lighting system of Brainerd is
owned by the city. The lease with
the power company has expired, and
they refuse to make new one which
is responsible for the above PROPOSE
tion.
At the meeting Tuesday night Mr..
Morgan was not inclined to even
entertain the Idea of a contract with
Little Falls parties for current, claim
ing that it would cost the city 1. 10
cents per k. W. to distribute the cur
rent from its Switchboard, while it
would only cost in the neighborhoon
of 2. 40 cents per k. W. to generate and
distribute it.

Crow Wing river, estimated to cost
$105, 900 is being considered, also gas
