A HOME CAN Be BOUGHT
FOR Is CENTS PER WEEK

Tuttle Bros. & Bruce of Indian.
apolis, Indiana, who make business
of plating Subdivisions of building
lots in the better cities over the
country, are going to open sale
here next Friday.
Tuttle Bros. & Bruce have pur-
chased a 4O-acre tract on Irwin
avenue opposite the fair grounds
and have plated it into lots and
will offer them at $40 to $50 each
upon the unusually easy payment
plan of twenty-five cents cash and
twenty-five cents week charging
no interest at all. If the purchaser
is sick or out of employment their
company will wait for him.
R. H. Schumacher will hold the
title as trustee for the benefit of the
lot buyers and the money will be
paid to the First Natianal Bank of
this city. It would seem that there
is little excuse for any one having to
rent when he can get a home upon
such an easy plan.
This company gives permission to
build upon the lots at any time if
only two rooms providing the build
ing is respectable and so con-
structed as to be added onto as the
buyer is able. ..-
Mr.. Bruce says Bemidji seems to
be in better condition than most of
the cities where they have operated
lately and he anticipates a big sale.
Each lot is staked and marked
with a yellow card showing the
price and terms. If you wish the
lot you can tear off the yellow card
and take it at once to their office at
321 Minnesota avenue. No less
than two. lots will be sold to one
purchaser.
Tuttle Bros. and Bruce recently
had a very successful sale in Crooks
ton in very similar manner and
have just closed the sale in Grand
Forks, where they sold 500 lots in
ten days upon the same plan. It
would seem wise if anyone having
any idea of securing lots would in
vestigate these as soon as the sale
opens.

was left as published in the Daily

A. P. White, John Moberg, Walter
Markham and DR.. J. T. Tuomy, as a
committee from the automobile
club, appeared before the council
and asked that the council make
an appropriation for the better
ment of the roads in the city limits

mittee that the council had no money

drawn the fund to such an extern

inadequate to replace the funds SC

refused to sign the resolution author

Careful How
You Vote

On next Wednesday, the voters Of
this city will have an opportunity Of
voting upon the commission form Of
government. This has been pretty
we'll threshed out at the various
meetings that have been held at
the Commercial club rooms. This is
perhaps the most important ques-
ton that has ever confronted the
voters of this city, and the Indepen-
dent must feel free to confess that
for once, we are 'stumped. We don't
know how to advise the voters to
cast their ballots on the PROPOSE
ton, and what Is more; there are
others in the same boat. AS far as
the commission -, form of govern
ment is concerned, it ISIS no doubt
4, good thing-providing that the
right commissioners can be secured
and il the plan carries. We will
hope for the best. The old form OF
government is not bad. providing We
have the right kind Of council. and
We certainly have never had a bet
ter one than we have at this minute.
Some Of the best attorneys Of the
city argue that If the commission
plan carries, we will be up against
1t in proper style for funds with
which to carry on the business of

are Attorneys Lewis.

th4tsthe affairs of the city will go on
DUST the same with the commission
form Of government, only better.
They claim that the people will vote
to increase the debt limit from five
to eight per cent, and in this way
hope to raise funds which will place
the city on a cash basis. This is
a proposition for each voter to de-
eide. There has been plenty of OPP
portunity for education along this
line. Vote the way you think best,
and we will have to abide by the con-

Window

One Of the most original and appro-
pirate windows that we have seen for
sometime. is the gopher" window at
the Economy drug store. The scene
represents a North Dakota field,
strewn with dead flickertails, which
had eaten poisoned wheat. prepared
with Mickelson's Kill En- Quick pois-
on. Several wheel barrow loads OF
dirt had been placed in the window
and gopher mounds arranged here
and there. A couple of aickertails
were embalmed and look natural.
One sits on his hind legs. in the act
of eating. some of the grain. *

and orchestra music. All of the plans
have not beel perfected yet but there
Will probably be some doings in the
afternoon and the program proper
will b held in the evening, beginning
at 10. Nick Headricksoa, who is
building a large pavilion in his beau
tiful park On the aorth side, il max
ing arrangements to take care of the
celebration in fine style. The place
is pleasant and attractive and the
auditorium is 50x15O feet and offers
ample space. A grand ball has been
planned for at the Auditorium in the
evening, but the ball will not begin
so early but that the program can
be held at the same place. It is
thought that this Auditorium will be
a great deal better for that purpose
than the opera house and the people
will enjoy getting out to the park and
the large Auditorium to listen to the
program. The arrangements will
probably be completed by next week
and the announcements made.
