THE NEW COUNCIL
Brief Sketches Of the Men Who
Assume the Reign of Village
Government for the En-
suing Year.

W. T.. Madlson, the mayor-elect, -
not stranger to the Office nor to the
people of Worthington. He has been
resident Of Worthington for nearly
81 years, and of the county five
years longer. He received his educa-
ton in the Worthington schools, and
is thorough Worthington boy. He
learned the butchers trade with his
father, and in partnership with W.
E. Oliver, bought Otis BigeIow's
meat market in 1892. They retired
from the business for seven years,
but re-entered it again about year
ago. Mr.. Madison has heretofore
served one terms as mayor, and has
always proved capable and consci-
entious officer. His large vote gives
but faint indication of his universal
popularity. He tried to avoid the
Office this year, but it was practically
forced on him by his friends.
DR.. G. P. Dolan, the first on the
list Of trustees elected, has been a
resident of Worthington for about
five years, and is one of the most sue
cessful physicians in this part of the
state. He served year on the coun-
Gil in 1906 and demonstrated that he
was the right man in the right place.
He is man of large capacity and
has always taken a lively interest in
the affairs of the city.
VIM. Roman, the second member of
the council, is one of the oldest bust
ness men of the city, and with his
brother, John, has been engaged in
buying live stock and hay, doing the
largest business in$this line of any
firm In southwestern Minnesota. Mr..
Romans friends believe that asa
member OF the council he will make
good.
G. B. Ward, the third member of
the council, has for several years
been the landlord of the Western
hotel, which he has conducted in
such way as to gain the good will
and esteem of all who know him. He
is first lieutenant of Company F, and
has done much to bring that company
up to it's high standard. We believe
he will prove good man on the
council, and that the city IN securing
his services has an able official.
R. II. Torrance, the recorder-elect,
is a new man in politics, and his en-
trance is somewhat accidental. He
was put on the ticket in place of
John Boberg, who was nominated by
the caucus, but who declined to run
because he expected to be absent
from the city the greater part of the
year. Mr.. Torrance has spent most
Of his life in Worthington, and re-
ceived his education IN the high
school here. He has for several years
been a member of the firm of F. A.
Torrance & Son, who conduct one of
the best stocked department stores in
southern Minnesota. He is wide
awake young man, and is especially
we'll equipped to discharge his du-
ties as recorder.
Sam Swanson, the new village
treasurer, is one of the successful
contractors of Worthington. He has
been. a resident of the city many
years, and was formerly engaged in
the furniture business in partnership
with Carl Anderson. His name ad-
ded strength to the ticket, and that
he will jealously guard the city's
treasure box goes without saving.

VICTORY FOR
HIGH LICENSE
High License Ticket Elected By
Good Majority, Except
Assessor.
Worthinston Maintains Record ol
Only One Year at the
Time Dry.
Highest Vote in City's History
PolIed---529---Majority For
License Only I.
Bob Reed Falls By the Wayside-''
Defeated By the lnvinci-
bic Mishler.

The village election held last
Tuesday passed off quietly, so far as
outward appearances were concerned,
but under the surface there was the
most intense excitement. The no
license party had conducted a hard
campaign, and made herculean ef.
forts to carry the day. They claimed
a victory by 40 majority at four
O'Clock with more votes to be put
in, but they were doomed to defeat.
The license people we're equally con
fident of success but conceded that
the result would be very close. They
claimed they had about Is votes that
they failed to get in because the peo-
pie were out of town. The other side
had in practically theirwhole strength.
This would indicate that the village
is normally for license by a comfor-
table majority, although not large
enough to insure success every year
unless conditions are favorable. The
saloon. if it would exist at all in Wor
thineto must be conducted strictly
according to law, and the license
people NUS See to it that this is
done. The other side is willing that
it be run on wide open plan that
sentiment may turn their way again
next year.
The whole number Of ballots cast
was $50, but as Two tickets, one a
high-Jicense and one no-license,
were folded together, they were both
thrown out, leaving 528 votes. There
were 529 names on the poll list. This
is the largest number of votes ever
polled in the city. A few did not
vote on the license question at all.
The following is thes result of the
election:
LICENSE.
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1908-03-20

Mishler's majority !. !. 8 8. l9
There were 221 straight licenae
votes and 219 straight no-lcense
votes.
The result Of the election is very
aerlatif fyine to the license people, con-
sidering that they made 40 campaign
whatever, and did little or No work
except o Ret out theirs svotsrs.

May Reach Bear cuIch.

Last Saturday night a grading outfit
of thirty-five horses and mules and fiji.
cen men, en- route from the Moffat
road grading camps to those of the
Laramie, Hahns Peak and Pacific, put
up at the Walden livery stable, says
the New Era. The manager of the
crew, Mr.. John Walker, has contracts
on a cut five miles south of McNealey's
ranch n on the grade south from the
cut. The Laramie Plains line expects
10 lay track within thirty-ive miles
of Walden this fall Rumor has it that
the end of the track will reach Bear
gulch this winter and that they intend
to run a stage line from Walden to
connect with the train at hat point.
1t is pretty certain everybody in North
park hopes it is true.

FORMER RESIDENT Is
BITTEN BY A SNAKE

Leslie Goodding, a farmer student
Of the university and a graduate Of the
class of 1893, was bitten by a rattle
snake at Bisbee Ariz., a few days ago,
as was learned in a letter received by
Bert Miller of the Albany County Ma
tional bank this morning. Mr.. Good
ding found the snake and thought 1t
was in a comatose condition. He
found 1t was not and received its fangs
in one OF his legs above the knee. With
rare presence Of mind he Clipped a
part Of the flesh Of his leg of and
treated the wound with such remedies
as were at hand, and when the letter
was written he was entirely out OF
danger.

A NEW VEIN
IN THE PARK
ALEX MARI DISCOVERS FIFTY
FOOT COAL OF EXCELLENT
QUALITY, VERY HARD.
New Vein Not Connected With the
Raioh Vein, Considered One Of the
Geological Marvels of the West,
and Has Brought 1t to Point of
Being Able to Supply Demand.

A few months ago development work
was begun on what has since proved
the biggest discovery in the coal line
yet in the North park and one Of the
biggest In the world, says the walden
New Era The Raich mine of North
park was thought to be a marvellous
freak of nature, yet On such a large
scale are things normally done in this
liberal western country that coal de-
posits OF these hitherto considered 81.
gantic proportions are the rule here.
Clean and Very Hard.
The latest mine opened lacks fifteen
feet Of the sixty-fye foot thickness of
the vein of the better gnown deposit,
but is fifty feet thick of solid coal, in
place, testing 80 per cent inflammable
matter, so per cent being fixed carbon
and 40 per cent volatile matter. The
coal is very clean, very hard, and, as
any expert can tell from the percent
age above stated, an excellent fuel.
Ready to Load Wagons.

shipment on and after October 10. At
an expense exceeding $4,000 Mr.. Mari

insure prompt loading, with coal free
from slack and dust at the mine.
Mr.. Marr's good fortune in discover.

great new coal bed will undoubtedly
be rewarded by prosperity to him and
increased population and business to
the North park.

fact that during the financial depres-
sion IL seemed hopeless to try to in
terest capital in any mining ventures.
With the advent Of better times,
which appearances low seem to indi-
cate, the directors propose to take up
this part of the work more energeti-
caliy, and without neglecting any OF
the other functions of the chamber,
pay particular attention to exploiting
the mining possibilities of Arizona and
Sonora. In this connection we are
at the present moment making vigor-
Gus efforts to secure the annual meet
ing of the American Mining congress
for Douglas next year and with pros
poets of success. This meeting. If Sc
cured, win bring hundreds OF mining
men into this section, and do more
than any other single event has yet
done towards advertising our miner
al resources.
The chamber of commerce and
mines has existed long enough to dem.
onstrate its usefulness as one of the
institutions of the city. In addition
to what it has accomplished in adver-
Using the town, it fulfills a long-feit
want in being a body to which matters
of public and general importance can
be Immediately referred for action.
Matters are constantly arising affect
ing the city as a whole, which re-
quire some concerted action on the
part of the people. The chamber of
commerce and mines stands as rep
resentative of the people and renders
immediate action possible, where such
action is necessary.
It is with the utmost confidence
that the directors look to the future;
they feel that the chamber has al
ready accomplished much and is
bound to be an organization most use
full TO the interests of the city in the
time to come. Just at the present
moment, when the indications point
to prosperity coming with leaps and
bounds. 1t is very desirable that Doug
las should have such an organization
TO wave its flag and help coax pros
perity in this direction.
