Mile Laos Gets $1,000.

Mile Laos county will receive
800 as it's share of the S72, $50 to be
paid oHtby the state highway COM
mission for the improvement of roads
this year. The commission has
treated this county very handsomely.
and we sincerely hope the money may
be expended in such manner as will
result in permanent good. The county
will be obliged to expend $4,000 in
order to get the 81, 500 from the state,
and certainly $4,000 should build a
good piece of permanent highway.
Tsanti gets $1,000, Benton $1,000,
Sherburne 81, 200 and Anoka 81, 500.
Mile Laos county will receive in ad-
dition to the 81, 800 above mentioned
So, 100 this year to be expended under
the direct supervision of the county
commissioners, 500 of which must 90
on the lake road between Milaca and
Cove. In all the county will receive
So, 800 from the state this year for
roads and bridges.

sary repairs throughout the year.
This does away with the 'road-spoil-
ing parties of farmers, who invari-
ably attempt to work out their road
tax in wet weather and ruin the road.
"Instead of having a. dozen path
masters in each township this would
provide one man who could become
expert, as all his time would be de-
voted to the work. He would have
his regular crew of men, certain
machinery, and in short time would
be able to evolve methods of repair
ing roads that must necessarily
reduce the cost. Olmsted county will
have about $4,000 for road repairing
this coming season. This would
allow $40 mile for the roads. Under
this new system which I have advo-
Gated and which is to be tested in
Olmsted county, I venture to say half
that fund can be saved, and the work
done far better than by the old path
masters system.''

Town Meeting Day.

Next Tuesday, March 10, the annual
town meeting will be held at Armory
hall, over the Galley hardware store,
between the hours of 9 a. m. and 4
p. m. One supervisor for three years
to succeed G.. W. Harter and one to
fill the unexpired term of M. A. Carl
son, who has sent in his resignation,
will be elected at this meeting, besides
a clerk, treasurer, assessor, two JUS
tices OF the peace and a constable.
For capability and strict attention to
business the present town officers
could hardly be improved upon. The
official call for the meeting appears
on another page of this number of the
U Mon.

Keep Out of Texas,

A correspondent of the Aitkin Inde-
pendent, writing from Texas, advises
Minnesotans to stay where they are,
or at least not to be hasty in selling
out and going to the Lone Star state.
He advises people to beware the land
agents who say that from S25 to $50
per acre profit can be cleared on
crops. "You will not see the sign of
straw stack, hay stack, corn field or
corn crib anywhere along the gulf
coast" says he. "The farmer buys
everything he eats or feeds to his
stock. Hay, 500 to s25 per ton; pota-
toes, Sl.40; bacon, 25 cents: eggs, IS
cents and 40 cents, and everything
else in proportion. And strange as it
may seem. all kinds of fruit are
much higher here than in the north,
and vegetables can be bought in our
northern cities about as cheap as
here. Tree life is very scarce here,
also bird life. Climate really is nice
barring the wind and dampness. The
only water to be had is cistern water.
Wells are brackish. Let me advise all
who contemplate making a change to
hold onto that which you have and
come down for full season and in
vestigate. You who are northern
born and bred, used to good horses,
hogs, cattle and corn raising, with
other northern advantages, investi-
gate thoroughly before you make the
change, or fear your disappointment
will be great"

A FAULTY LAW.
Financial Statement of Villages Should b.
Made by Recorder Not by Treasurer

FINANCIAL statement of Villages Should be
Made by Recorder, Not by Treasurer.
The report of the village treasurer
simply shows the amount that was
paid into the treasury and the war;
rants cancelled during the year, and
does not give the financial condition
OF the village. The report is in COM
pliance with law, but the law is
wrong. The recorder is the official
who should prepare the financial
statement of the village, and his state
ment should show the bonded and
floating Indebtedness, the amount
paid, If any, on the Indebtedness dur
ing the year, the warrants issued, to
whom and for what purpose, and the
amount of outstanding warrants. In
short, the statement should be a COM
plete resume of the financial affairs of
the village, and it is not within the
power of the treasurer to make such
a statement.
In another column, Immediately fol-
lowing the treasurer's report, will be
found a summary of the financial
affairs of the village by the recorder
which will prove interesting to the
taxpayers. The floating Indebtedness
OF the village has been increased
81, 641.3l during the year, but to offset
this there has been over So, 500 ex-
pended for permanent improvements
new water main, floor in engine house
and coal shed. The net increase of
assets over previous year is 81, 6l6.5S.
One OF the items in the assets is 81. 400
for merchandise on hand at plant. +"
1t is safe to assert that the village
will not realize so per cent on this
item.
Probably the present council has
done as we'll as any of it's predeces-
sors. People are prone to criticise
and find fault. But it does seem as
if we should have some permanent
street improvements in this village
and at the same time not increase the
bonded or floating Indebtedness. With
an income of $685. from saloons
and probably So, 500 from direct taxa
tion and other sources, we ought to
have passable streets. The electric
light and water plant should be self
sustaining or almost so, and the in
debtedness should be decreased in
stead of increased yearly. The
Union does not care a fg for the
personnel of the council. It wants
results-better streets and start
made toward wiping out the village
Indebtedness.

Great Northern is Generous,

The Great Northern railroad
officials on Saturday reached a
definite agreement with the telegraph
operators along it's line. The new
law which went into effect March 4.
limits the work of telegraph operators
to nine hours day, instead of IL as
heretofore. The Great Northern
deals very generously with it's en-
ployes, and will obey the new law
without question. It will pay the
operators the same wages they are
now receiving, and will increase the
force so that the men will only work
nine hours. This means more oper-
ators at division points and every city
where day and night operators are
now used. The committee represent
ing the operators have accepted the
terms, and there will be no trouble.
The Great Northern will also live up
to the other provisions of the law
which permits trainmen and engine
men to work only 16 hours day.

WATER RATE FIXED
Continual Protests of Consumers at
Last Decides Village Council to
Readjust Sliding Scale.
Electric Light Rate Also Reduced to
Those Whose Bills Exceed Fiji
teen Dollars Monthly.

On Monday evening the village
council met in regular monthly ses-
sion with all members in attendance.
The greatest part of the session
was taken up with the readjustment of
the water rate. Propositions we're
submitted and discussed and a new
rate eventually established which
makes considerable reduction in
charges. The old sliding scale for
water was as follows: SIS for the first
10000 gallons used, $3.50 for the
second, 81 for the third, $3.50 for the
fourth, So for the fifth and $3.50 for
the sixth and all subsequent quantities
of 10000 gallons.
The new rate is also on a sliding
scale basis and is as follows: So for
the first 10000 gallons, $3.50 for the
second, So for the third and all subse-
quent quantities of 10000 gallons con-
sumed.
A motion was passed instructing the
village marshal to thoroughly cleanse
the village lookup and place same in
a sanitary condition.
Recorder Stanley was, upon mo-
ton, instructed to consult the village
attorney and ascertain what changes
are necessary to be made in the lock-
up building in order that the same
may meet the requirements of the sta
tute.
The electric light question again
came up for discussion and motion
prevailed which reduces the rate to
persons whose light bills run to SIS or
more per month. Up to this time all
have paid the same rate, l215 cents
per 1000 kilowatts, irrespective of the
amount consumed. The new provi-
sion reduces the aforementioned pa
irons rate to 10 cents per 1000 kilo-
watts.
The annual statement of the village
recorder was read and accepted and
the council adjourned to the following
evening. i-.t.- -s-.- ~.
At the adjourned meeting on Tues
day evening the only business which
came up for disposal was the auditing
and allowance of bills.

POstOffice Re-established.

The post Office at Long Siding has
been re-esta blished and Henry Uglem,
son of County Commissioner O. 81.
Uglem, has been appointed post
master. The Office was opened for the
first time on Thursday last, and will
prove great accommodation to the
residents in that vicinity, as for two
years pastor since the B. F. Reem
store was destroyed-they have been
compelled to travel a distance of
something like two miles for their
mail.
Mr.. Uglem, the new postmaster, is
a young man who can be relied upon
to faithfully preform the duties i'm
posed upon him. He has accepted
the appointment purely as an accom-
mediation to the residents in that To-
cality-the remuneration for the work
is insignificant.
