A POSSIBLE DILEMMA
An Absent Member of the City coun-
Gil Just Now Would Frustrate
Things in Great Shape.

An accident or death, just now,
could block the administration Of the
city Of Moorhead quite effectually and
place the city council in the position
of not being able to legally proceed
to carry on the business of the city.
The body is composed of eight alder
men, two from each ward and IL re-
quires six to form a quorum. There
are two tentative vacancies, Alder
man Stanford OF the Fourth ward has
left the city and now resides with his
family in Chicago; and Tom Erdel of
the first ward is said to be in business
at Philadelphia and it is said that 1t
Is question whether he will ever re-
turn to the city. Under the charter
it requires an absence from the city
six months before the council can de-
clare the places vacant. Mr.. Erdel
went away some time in June and Mr..
Stanford left the ity about month
ago. city Clerk Price says that the
designations of neither gentlemen have
been received.
When the matter has been preached
to local officials 1t has been suggested
that 1t is hardly worth while to hold
special elections. considering that the
regular general election OF city officers
comes next February Alderman Bod
kin said today that he remained In
town for the express purpose Of at
tending the meeting of the council to-
night, so that urgent business which
is to be considered would not be de-
layed.

served opposition. He is an able man.

that this paper has throughout the
state and the way it has shown up his
failures in the governors chair than
about any other feature of the cam

in trying to refute the facts that this
paper has brought to the attention of
North Dakota voters.
He spent considerable time In try
ing to explain to the people of Fargo
why he cut down the appropriations
for a dairy barn at the A. c. because
of the alleged lack of funds. but said
nothing to explain why he was grab

Grain Letter.

Chicago, Nov Wheat: The
market opened u to " higher and
ruled steady in tone up to noon, with
rather lighter volume Of trade, A
sale Of 100000 bushels of cash wheat
at St Louis was reported early in the
day as having been made Saturday
with the insinuation that there was
an Improvement in the cash demand,
but later advices were to the effect
that the price obtained was a low
one. We hear of no Improvement IN
our own market for cash wheat. The
market eased off during the latter
part of the session when holders tried
to realize. There is not buying pow
err enough to cause anything but tenn
porary rallies, and conditions must
change before any sustained advance
can be established.

FOR THE PLAINTIFF.
Supreme Court Decides Famous Ditch
Case in WiIkin County.

The supreme court of Minnesota has
filed its decision in the case of q. w.
BillsboTrow VS.. f. l.. Pierce, a county
ditch case from WillSin county, Nye &
Dosland for the plaintiff.
The plaintiff and others objected to
the construction of the ditch in ques-
ton upon the ground that it carried
the water from one natural drainage
basin into another, cutting through a
natural divide and emptying the
drainage waters in coulie where
they would spread out and do great
damage. There has been two appeals
to the supreme court in this case, and
every turn known to legal mind has
been made use of in the bitter fight.
This last decision finally prohibits the
building Of the ditch under the pres
ent petition. The court above says
that the trial court erred in allowing
the entry of modified judgment.

Liverpool, Nov. T. - The market

tinued firmness displayed in Ameri-

higher Following the opening the
market ruled strong with offerings
light and shorts nervous, owing to
good speculative support, and some
prominent buying here and values ad-
vanced sharply, gaining %61A over
the opening The strength in Winni-
peg, fewer plate offerings and advance
in Buenos Ayers future market were
the prominent factors of the covering.
Further strength was caused by the
sharp advance in Mark Lane markets,
which were generally 5000 higher,
fair demand for Canadian parcels, de-
crease IL the amount on passage to
the United Kingdom, and the lighter
worlds shipments, with a smaller
amount to the United Kingdom. 1t is
