The proceeds of the sale of these
bonds will be turned into the Per.
manent Improvement Fund. for it
is from that fund that all permanent
improvements must be paid.
If the voters Of this city do not
know that we need a new city Jail
they should visit the present Jail
once. It is in such 4 condition that
it can no longer be used. Offenders
against the law are now detained
over night in the police headquarters
in the city hall, with nothing to
prevent their escape except the
vigilance of the night police. They
cannot be taken to the County Jail
until they have had hearing
and a commitment has been issued.
A substantial city jail is necessity.
The arrangement of the rooms in
the city hall makes that building
insufficient for the use tor which it
is intended. The council room is
entirely too small to accommodate the
public who are interested in the
deliberations of the council, and
who have right to know what that
body is doing for the needs of the
city. A Encouragement of the rooms
in that building, and the installing
of heating plant which will heat
the city hall and the new jail is one
of the much needed improvements
for our city. i. q. =
The present bridge ACROSS the
Mississippi river leading to Mill
Park and Nymore has answered its
purpose for number of years, but
with the increased travel of grow
ing city it has now outlived its use
fulness, and a new and substantial
structure should be built in its place.
Many of the streets of our city are
sorely in need Of grading, especially
in the west and northwestern por-
tons of town, and such improve
ments must be paid out of the
Permanent Improvement Fund, as
they cannot be assessed to the abut-
ting property owners, and are in
every sense of the word permanent"
Many people in every community
do not understand questions of
public improvement, and, not under.
standing them, disapprove of them.
Some well meaning people of our
city have been misled into the be-
lief that this $4,000 bond issue is
to be used for building bridges over
the 500 railway. Any bridges that
may have to be built across the Soc
railway, or any other railway in
this city. must be paid for solely by
the railroad companies. This is a
duty imposed upon them by the

SPORTING NOTES.
Crookston Wins From Grand Forks.

Crockston, June 1.-the ball
game between the Grand Forks In
dependents and the Crookston
Cubs on the local diamond Sunday
afternoon was one of the most re-
markable contests seen in Crookston
for many years. The visitors
apparently had the game cinched
in the 3rd inning when they added
3 scores to the they made in the
opening chapter while the Cubs had
been blanked regularly. But the
run getting of the visitor was con,
fined to these two innings. They
filled the bases several times but
Pitcher Moore worked himself out
of every hole.
Crookston failed to get a man
across the plate till the 5th inning
when with two men down Clarence
drove a ball over the right field
fence for a complete circuit of the
diamond, the drive. being the long.
est made here in several years. In
the 9Th the locals got the bases full
on hit, base on balls and man
hit by the pitcher after which hit
and an error noted three runs tying
the scores and in the final inning
Caslson and Monroe hit successfully
scoring the winning run.,

Charter, and they are likewise re-
CURED to build their own street
crossings on grade, and to keep
them in repair, The City Council
could not use any of this bond
money for such purpose. and they
have no desire to do so. The party
or parties who started this railroad
bridge scare were probably honest
in their belief that it was true, but
they apparently obtained their in
formation from a dream book"
There is on hand, in the sinking
fund of this city, about $4,000.
The sinking fund is established for
the accumulation of money to ritife
our city bonds, when due, but money
is now accommodating in that fund
50 rapidly that it is not all needed
for that purpose.
The charter provides that money
in the sinking fund may be invested
in the Bonds. or other securities of
the City," The plan of the council
with reference to this $4,000 bond
issue is to sell the bonds to some
local concern and at once repurchase
them with money in the sinking
fund, and hold these bonds in the
sinking fund as an investment. In
this way the city will practically be
borrowing money from the sinking
fund for the purpose of using it for
needed public improvements. From
that viewpoint this last proposition
assumes an aspect of borrowing by
one fund from another fund, rather:
than a bond issue.
1t is our earnest desire that every
voter of the city should give these
matters his careful consideration,
and, so considered, we believe the
result of tomorrow's election will
show that the people of this city are
in favor of anything and everything
that tends to the welfare and better
ment of the community. ~

Do A
LOT OF BUSINESS

The Promotion Committee yesterday
afternoon decided that after now 1t
would refer all advertising schemes
coming its way to the Chamber Of
Commerce and Merchants Association
its parent bodies; leaving those orga-
nizations to wrestle with all such pro-
blems. The matter came up in con-
, nection with the case of Ellis A. Da-
Wis, an agent for an atlas who sailed
Unexpectedly on the S. Wilhelmina
for the coast. Davis had been given
letter by the acting secretary, which
when elaborated upon and befrilled a
little, might be mistaken for Pro-
motion Committee endorsement of a
book scheme After now, when ap-
preached on any such subject, the
Promotion Committee will simply
pass over a card of Jimmie Morgan
or F. L .Waldron and let it go at
that.
At the meeting yesterday Chairman
Mclean reported that the Cook mo-
nument had been well renovated for
the small sum of So. This monu-
ment belongs to the British govern
ment and prior to annexation was
cleaned every year by British war
ship, which would come here for the
purpose. At the time of annexation
Uncle Sam assumed this task, along
with the job of protecting other Bril-
fish interests under his flag in the
Hawaiian Islands; but in some way
the old man has forgotten the obliga-
ton and the monument has been Civ
en- over to the weeds.
The Committee was notified that
Governor Frear will extend an invita-
ton to the National Editorial Asso-
citation to visit Hawaii
Mr.. Hogs reported the arrival #
the supplies for Atlantic City at New
York on April 81, from which place
they will be forwarded at once to Sec
rotary Wood.

tee that the cost of getting out the
surf-riding statuettes would be about
s. apiece. The matter will be 70
ferred to Mr.. Wood at Atlantic Cit~
to be taken up with Mr.. osborne
who is now in New York.

that he was satisfied with the new
