InEST. CLOUD MEETING
Little Falls Is Quite Sure Of

Entertaining Next
Dec6mber B..

|s The meeting Of the Northern N1a-
nesota Developm6iif association at st.
Cloud last Friday and Saturday was
largely attended, Morrison county
folks being the most in evidence.
The contingent from Little Falls went
! to the: ''granite city, ON the early
morning train and with the other
Morrison county people in attendance.
did great amount of missionay work
in an effort to land the Deceln Der
meeting of next year for Little Falls.
It was cinched for us, but the chair
man, although no rules governed the
same. declared tho motion out. of
order, and the matter will come up
again at the summer meeting TO be
held at International Fails in June.
While the naming of the December
meeting place is delayed, is can quite
positively be said that it will come to
Little Falls.
Our good roads committee were sue
cessful IN having the road running
from BraiLerd to. St. Cloud. made
part Of one of the proposed highways,
after it had been decided otherwise.
The addresses made were all good
ones, dealing with different subjects
1OI Gu0 O0tL0G&o0uL VI kA0 0O1 1t0c1u par
OF the state. .Re-apportlonmeut was
badly wanted-but the convention. did
not ask for an extra session-not, we
believe because it would or wouldn't
put the governor in hole-but be-
cause they thought that those compos-
ing the present legislature would not
reverse themselves on their former ac-
tion. The governors henchmen. how
ever, were on hand to work against
the extra session idea and were busy
real busy-with those who could man
ipulate things and there was more
politics evident than would show from
the outside. 1he speech of Hon. T.
V. Powderly, chief OF the bureau Of
immigration, on immigration, was q
gem. although his later remarks ON
hitting the ''big bows" is not the
stuff that can be handed OFT in this
neck of the woods.
One Of the pleasant features to the
newspaper men attending about
thirty-was a dinner given them by
Alvah Eastman, editor of the Journal
Press, at his beautiful home. =
Treatment given the visitors by the
commercial club and citizens generally
was most excellent, ana all went home
highly pleased.

cattle medicines, which they inform
the one making the contract is a
premium, and also gives him: the

veterinary nature: they also claim
to save the farmer much on his selling
and buying through them. !: appears
to us that the plan brought down to

makes one OF these contracts, is simply

of governor was vacant while Cover.

answered in the affirmative, providing
the lieutenant governor considered
that an etnmerEency exists which he
considers warrants bin: to assume the

came into power that Gordon would
call a special session of the legislature,
but on this point the attorney general
rules, that upon Governor Eberhart 8
return he could revoke the call. Mr..
Gordon is quoted on the matter as fol-
lows: y

that he should act as governor. He
said that, since the matter was put up
