EXIT POLES FROM

FOURTH STREET MERCHANTS

Ed FROM THEIR FRoNTAeEs-
IMPROVEMENT LONG DESIRED,
TO BE coNsUMMATED.

Two important improvements in
Moorhead this year will be, first, the
new 100000 fre-proof hotel; then win
come the removing OF telephone and
electric light poles from the business
streets. At the last meeting OF the
city council plans were perfected for
securing alleyway rights for the poles
and wires which mar the looks Of
Front street. Now business men on
Fourth street, south and north for a
distance of about three blocks, want
that thoroughfare freed from insight
ly poles and wires.
In connection with the required ac-
tions for the contemplated alleyway
along the rears. of the buildings on the
northside of Front street by the city
council, at its meeting last night, the
matter OF removal of the poles from
Fourth street was brought up and the
outlook for favorable action on the part
of the council and all interested is very
good. A. H. Erickson Of the Peder-
son Mercantile Co. and ole Martin
son. representing the Fourth street
move, have been appointed to act with
the council alleyway committee for
providing a right of way for the pole
line which is to be moved out of sight.
City Clerk Price has been authorized
to advertise for bids for the construc-
ton of the several sewers which have
been petitioned for by southside prop
erty owners who desire water and sew
er advantages for new and improved
dwellings. The council win let the
contract Monday evening, Aug. 81.
The city council heard the reading
Of the reports of the several city Of
ficers. all of which were ordered filed
without comment. The report of City
Treasurer wilhelm showed that he
had balance on hand. Aug. /, Of

The council adopted a resolution au-
thorizing the alleyway committee to
begin condemnation proceedings
against parties who declined for one
reason or the other to sign up for the
proposed alleyway at the rear of Front
street. Those who have declined are:

Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago, III, Aug. s.-The weather in
the northwest this morning is again
cloudy, some rains having fallen dur
ing the night We believe that the
situation is a more or less critical one
and feel that the long side Of the mar
ket is the only safe one for the time
being. We viii doubtless have set
backs from an over bought condition
and on such we are inclined to favor
purchases.
Corn-The weather in the corn belt
generally warm and clear, with lit
tie scattered rain in the southwest.
Just at the moment the cash demand
is rather slack, but offerings Of the old
crop show no material increase. We
favor the long side, believing that
enough damage has been done to war;
rant present and higher prices.
Oats-Speculative interest at the
moment seems rather limited. Stocks
are large, professionals are inclined TO
be bearish, and just now prices may
not improve, but we fully expect high
er prices later on. Bartlett Frazier Co.

LORD kITcHENER's FALL.

New York American: The express
SION 'woman-hatsr' has practically
no foundation in fact That bachelor
chooses for many years to remain in
that deplorable state does not argue
hatred Of the sex; it may mean that
the woman psychologically appointed
has not arrived or that the woman
ardently desired is unobtainable Hos,
tility to all women Is fairly impos-
sible
Lord Kitchener has been erroneous
~ regarded a woman-hater for the
simple reason that active duties and
comparative isolation from women has
kept his thoughts away from matri-
mony. And yet Lord Kitchener Yields
readily enough to woman's charm
when the opportunity presents and the
appointed divinity, or the more COM
mon product Of propinquity arrives.
It is the old cry of the captive bene-
dict: when I said that I would die
a bachelor did not think that /
should live till were married"

took the position last night that the
damage to the spring wheat crop in

enough to warrant present prices and
said that while big stocks tend to keep
many buyers from getting enthusiasts
tic on the bull side there will evidently
be a more bullish situation and they
are backing their opinion by buying
on all declines. One of the old timers,
in referring to increasing stocks and
carrying charges said he had seen
wheat advance 25 cents bushel under
similar conditions. Bears said that
there has not been enough damage
from rust to warrant further advance
and that carrying charges will event.
