suburbs of the city, which the
engineer states are in very bad
condition. Mr.. Stoner also scored
the Warfeld Electric company for
the condition of their poles and
wire on the outskirts of the city.
The council will still further con-
slider this matter when the COM
mittee reports at the next meeting,
and some talk is that the fran
chises of these companies may be
attacked to force the necessary
improvements and safeguard for the
public.
When the fire committee reported
it stated that the fire department
was very much in need of hose. a
hook and ladder truck and minor
articles. Thomas tombstone of
Crookston was present and offered
some suggestions to the council re-
garding the chemical engine, setting
forth many facts to show where an
engine of the kind he spoke of was
an absolute necessity for a city.
He stated that as soon as chemical
engine was installed the high insur-
ance rated would drop to normal
place. No decision was obtained
from the council, and the body ad-
journed with considerable unfinished
business before them.

To the Editor Of the Intelligencer:

This lobbyist who for years has
poured out his Misrepresentation and
abuse upon the last two Republican
administrations of the state. and
whose venom Is as deep as his word
Is unreliable, makes charges as to
the legislation OF 1907. providing for
county board OF review to be appoint
ed by the board Of public works In
1909, to equallze the real estate and
other assessments which are to be
made that year, which charges are In
famous fafsehoods and could only
emanate from @ diseased brain. There
are the best of reasons why these as
sessment boards are not appointed
until April, 1909. and that legislation
could not be repealed unless Governor
Dawson was. party to 1t and the leg

Judge q. G. Smith. a prominent

urged by many fSiends to make the
race this year against Congressman
Hubbard. His friends have the fol-
lowing to say of him:
"If he can be induced to accept the
nomination, no better selection could
possibly be made in the. district. He
could carry this county handsomely
and would have more than an even
chance against Hubbard on the
