RIGHT MAN FOR TREASURER.

RIGHT MAN FOR TREASURER.
[ desire to endorse John @
Nelson as a most competent can
didate for the Office of County
Treasurer of Grant county. He
is a thorough and upright busl
ness man, an excellent penman
and expert accountant. During
his term of Office as County Com
missioner many important mat.
ters came before the Board and
he gave his undivided attention
to the welfare of the people, not
claiming all the credit for himself
but conceding honor to whom
honor is due. Mr.. Nelson is rec.
ognized by stalwarts and iusur-
gents to be a man of firm princi
pie, sterling integrity and you
always know where to find him.
Notwithstanding that Mr.. Mel
son has always taken q stand and
been consistent in his views
along political lines, he is very
popular at home among all fac
tons and parties. The conscien-
tious voters of our county will
make no mistake in placing a
cross before his name upon the
Republican ballot, for he will
faithfully, accurately and impair.
TALLY discharge the duties of
county treasurer, if nominated
and elected. N. FORSBERG.

ing that they were a good thing,
and that what applied to the other

The sidewalk committee reported on
defective sidewalks, which would
have to be replaced by cement walks.
G. A. Kern and Charles CHAMBER
were present to confer with the coun.
Gil upon the sale of about SO feet of
lots 5 and g., block %, to be used in
opening north Fourth street. This is
property that belongs to the mill.
Mr.. Kern said that the mill company
wanted to do what was right. The
council was of the opinion that the
opening of the street would be of d.
rect benefit to the lots. Mr.. Kern
thought that about $75 and the city
build the sidewalk was about the
right price. The council recommend.
ed laying the matter over to the next
meeting, as there was q general opin-
ion among the members that some
years ago there had been some kind
of IN agreement between the city and
the mill company regarding this right
of way, which 1t would be we'll to look
up. If there was no agreement the
city preferred buy right Of way rather
than to go through condemnation
proceedings.
w. H. Gaynor and George Jurgens
appeared before the council asking
that a sewer be laid from their proper
ty to the nearest main sewer. This
was referred to the proper committee.
The cement bids were opened and
were as follows:
Gus Swanson: Sidewalks, IL cents
per puare foot; crosswalks, Is cents
and curbing SO cents.
Jas. Miracle Co.: Sidewalks, II
cents per square foot; crosswalks, 164
cents and curling so cents.
The work was awarded to Gus
Swanson, his bid being the lowest.
F. j. Nav appeared before the
council in behalf of the Milbank Ca
det Band, asking the council to aid
them in q financial way. Mr.. Mar
tens was in favor of helping the band
but he did not believe the council had
any legal right to do go. Mr.. Farley
and the other aldermen were of the
same opinion. Mr.. Nelson believed
that considerable money could be
raised among the merchants to help
this along. The band was q good
thing and should be maintained.
Mayor Meehan believed that it would
be best to allow the matter to stand as
it was and then bring it before the
voters next spring when they could
vote for or against q levy to support
the band.
The liquor license applications
were read and ordered published.
Council adjourned.

HANDICAP ENTRIES
COMING IN SLOWLY

NEW YORK, January I'm spite of
the increased value of many of the
stakes this year there is a falling off
in the number of entries, which are
still drifting in, to the fixtures of the
Coney Island Jockey Club. the Brook
Ign Jockey Club and the Brighton
Beach Racing Association, which closed
January 2. The California mail under
date of December 81, 1907, arrived yes
terday, so that few more nominations
may be received, as entries bearing
date of January 2 will be received. s.
c. Hildreth has not been heard from,
and Uncle and Montgomery are almost
sure to be named. The big spring
handicaps at one mile and a quarter
the Brooklyn. Suburban and Brighton
show the most decided falling off in
numbers over year ago. but, IS has
been pointed out before. what IS lack
ing in quantity is more than made up
in quality.
Up to 8 o'clock yesterday f!fty-four
horses had been entered for the Sub
urban. as against eighty-four last year
forty-fve for the Brooklyn, as against
seventy-four last season, and fifty
three for the Brighton, as against
eighty-two in 1907. This is the more
Sut VI isiHS as the suburban ana BROOK
lyn were increased in value from 500
900 to $4,000 to make them equal to
the Brighton. Hard times, the grow
ing dread of forfeits and the fact that
better horses are eligible probably ac-
count for the decrease. as the small
more cautious than usual.
The following horses have been
named for the three rich, handicaps in
addition to those previously published:
Surhy,
Jack Atkin. Dorante. Lad Of Langdon,
Faust. Sir Huon, Arctic, Fair Play and
Johnny Lyons
Brooklyn-Glorifier. Sir Huon. Master
Robert, Fair Play, Faust. Rifieman, w.
H. Carey. Old Honesty, Lad of Langdon
and Jack Atkin.
Brighton-Glorifier. Jack Atkin, Do
rante and Old Honesty.
Jimmy Mccormick is planning
sweeping campaign for .Glorifer, which
leaps last year. The Hastings horse
was retired after his victory in the
Metropolitan. and did not start again
until few days ago at New Orleans,
Jack Atkin looks out Of place in races
at one mile and a quarter. as he proved
himself to be a sprinter, pure and SIM
pie. The Brooklyn handicap has suf-
fered the most in respect to numbers,
as 1t is decided so early in the year
that it has not attracted some of the
three-year-old named for the Suburb
an and Brighton. =
Some question may be raised concern
ing the eligibility of Kercheval. en-
tered for the Brooklyn. which may
lead to his entry being refused.
The Produce stakes do not show any
falling off in the number Of entries,
which indicates that the breeding in
dustry is even more prosperous than
ever. Up to yesterday 912 mares had
been nominated for the Futurity of
1910, with the late mails still to be
heard from. Last year the total was
954. The Brighton Produce stakes of
$4,000 has done even better, as 9O5
entries have been received to date, a
high-water mark.
