The meeting of the city council
last evening was productive of the
transaction of much business of i'm
portance. All members of the coun-
Gil were present, with the exception
of Alderman Brinkman, Alderman
Gould presiding.
In reading the minutes of the pre-
vious regular meeting, Clerk Malloy
stated that in making an estimate
at the last meeting Of the amount
that would be necessary to operate
the city during the ensuing year, he
had made the estimate on water
works and repairs too low-the
amount should be $4,000, instead of
S1,45O, which report was accepted.
A number of bills were audited
and allowed, among which was one
from the Jerrard Plumbing company
for S26O.77, being the per cent of
the amount of the contract on sewers
which the Jerrard company built for
the city, and which was held back
for performance of the contract.
A resolution was presented author
izing the construction of a steel
wagon bridge across the Mississippi
river, at the narrows between lakes
Irving and Bemidji, at cost not to
exceed $1,000, it being understood
that Beltrami county will pay part of
the cost. The resolution also pro-
vided that the question be submitted
to the voters at the general city
election, to be held on February
18th; and the city clerk was in
structed to have 1900 circulars
printed and sent to every taxpayer
in the city, which circulars will
fully explain the proposition.

lands in the United States to begin
again in the semi-aird belt or on the
prairies of the Canadian Northwest
is something that can be checked;
or that, at least, can be offset by the
introduction of a population to take
the places left vacant. The same
methods that have led thousands of
farmers in Iowa and Minnesota to
abandon good lands for compare
lively undesirable lands will GER
tainly avail to draw ftom less desir-
able lands to such unsurpassed lands
as Minnesota has to offer the popu-
laiion of other sections.
The state government has only
made beginning; it has not given
the immigration bureau the means
to accomplish all that could be
accomplished. And, in any event,
that department requires the CO.
operation of the various counties
and districts if the best results are
to be produced. The work of differ
ent communities must supplement
the work of the state; and the CON-
munity that is first in the field and
that does its share most intelligently
will be the teavivst gamer.
las the Pioneer Press understands
it, no plan will be proposed in which
the smallest and weakest commercial
club cannot cooperate without assum-
ing any burden: 1t is not money
that is needed so much as co-opera-
ton to set the campaign on foot and
to carry it on.
In this campaign the Twin Cities
and Duluth are greatly interested,
for the Minnesota market is their
market and the people of Minnesota
make those cities their headquarters.
But the interest of the Twin Cities
and Duluth in the growth of Mime
sofa is not so great or so immediate
as that of the other cities and towns
of the state; for the first gain will
come to the smaller cities and towns
whose prosperity rises and falls with
the prosperity of the country about
them just as the prosperity of the
large cities largely depends on the
prosperity of the merchants and
business men of the smaller towns.
In fact there is no diversity or con-
hict of interest involved in the pro-
posed upbuildlng of the state; but a
community of interest so manifest
that every business man in the state
and every owner of farm lands
should put his shoulder to the wheel
and help to push forward the pro-
ject."

ton, with instructions to report at

Mayor Pogue appeared before the

men to express an opinion as to
whether they desired to retain the

police. It was shown that Mr..
Denley had not been resident of

Business Interests of Twin Cities Showing Concern in
Forthcoming Meeting Of State Commercial Club
Representatives, in st. Paul.

The meeting of representatives
of commercial clubs throughout the
state to be held at the old capitol
building in St. Paul Thursday and
Friday of this week is attracting
statewide attention; and the meet
ing will undoubtedly produce results
of untold benefit to every portion
of Minnesota. ,-.-
The St. Paul Pioneer Press SAYS of
the coming meeting: -...
The convention of Minnesota
commercial clubs to be held in this
city Jan. 10 to devise campaign
for advertising the opportunities
of Minnesota ought to be attended
by representatives of every city and
village in the state. For by effect
i've cooperation there is not a
county or district that will not
gain in population and that will ex-
perience a rise in the price of farm
lands. Nor is there one whose
cities and villages will not secure
increased trade. >....s
1T is shame and disgrace the
way Minnesota has been neglected
by Minnesotians. With as rich a
soil as there is in the world through
out the southern and northwestern
sections of the state; with soil in
the northern and northeastern Sec
tons which has demonstrated it's
capacity to support four times as
many head of cattle per acre as
the farms of Iowa and Illinois AID
to produce what is recognized as
the best butter in the world; with a
climate that in it's distribution of
heat and cold and of moisture is
especially favorable to most kinds of
agricultural operations; with its
seven thousand lakes and it's water
courses storing and distributing
the rainfall and the melted SHOWS;
with its well-developed railroad sys-
tenn and it's outlet by water to the
East over the Great Lakes and to
the Gulf of Mexico down the Missis-
sippi; with it's splendid system of
schools and it's other advantages OF
an established community; with all
these blessings of nature and of
civilization there has been an actual
falling off in the rural population
of the state.
That men grown prosperous on
its farms should move to the towns
and cities and that their sons should
want change of occupation is not
a matter that can be helped by any
campaign of advertising; but that
farmers should abandon the richest
