WIN DAKoTAs.

The Sioux Falls Press has an editor
ial urging more cooperation between
the Dakotas. II points out that each
has the similar resources, ambitions
and necessities and might help the
other. Business In the Dakotas is east
and west. They have poor means of
communication and are less closely
connected with each other than with
Minnesota. II there were more north
and south railroad lines the associa-
tons would be closer. The Press says
There are two states In the union
which are natural twin sisters. They
were acquired in the same territorial
addition to the United States. They
existed for a long time under one ter
ritorial government. They were adj
mitted to the union at the same time.
They are almost identical In size, in
population, In commercial, and agri-
cultural interests and even ia politi-
cal importance. They are the states
of North and South Dakota. but so
closely are they related in the esti-
nation of the rest of the country that
the two are often referred to under the
one name Dakota"
These twin states should be the best
friends In the world and should unite
their interests in a dozen different d.
rections where they could accomplish
more BY cooperation than they can
separately as at present. 1t ID appar-

TURN down BIDS
FOR Light PLANT
ONLY ONE BID RECEIVED FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF THE LIGHT
PLANT AND 1T WAS REJECTED
BY couNcIL-No POLICE MA
TRoN-THlRP WARD PAVING.

Only one bid was received at the
city council meeting last evening for
the construction of the proposed
municipal lighting plant and power
station. The bid of James Kennedy,
the only contractor asking for the job,
was turned down by the council.
The Westinghouse Electric Co., in a
communication asked the council to
hold up letting Of the contract for the
lighting plant as 1t had not had time
to investigate the plans and specifica-
tons However the city engineer
stated that this company did not do
work as called for in the plans and
specifications so the council decided
to receive the bid of Mr.. Kennedy.
The Kennedy bid was accompanied
by bond Of 100000 and he offered to
construct the plant, smoke stack, and
install meter and necessary pipes for
a little over $4,000. This amount was
about $4,000 more than the estimate
of the city engineer for the work.
Alderman Hanson moved that the
bid be rejected He stated that he
thought the advertisements should
have been placed in some trade jour-
nails and that he would like to see
more bids for the construction work
In view OF the fact that it was over
the estimate of the engineer he desir-
ed to see II rejected.
Alderman Stewart moved as a sub
stltute motion that the matter be held
over until the city engineer coulc
make a comparison Of his estimate
figures. The city engineer Their
secured these figures and although h
had calculated on a basis somewha'
different from the bidder, he was able
to give some comparative figures tx

Mr.. kennedy explained to the city
council that there were some reasons
why his bid was over the estimate o.
