work and travel on the roads.
All such distractions should be re-
moved where it is practicable to do
SO. One serious mistake has been
made in the past that Of laying out
two rod roads where a four rod
one is needed.
The Good Road question is gain
ing Roadway from year to year and
more stringent laws will come into
effect as the years pass by. and from
observations I have made the Town
of Kandiyohi is not the only town
that needs a little road brushing.
Respectfully
John Wicklund.

AT ITS OLD TRICKS.

The Republican-Gazette has made
some wonderful discoveries in the
telephone question. 1t has discov-
cred that the city should be SAFE
guarded by reasonable control Of
the telephone service in the CITY.
The Tribune has urged this for six
years or more. but has only been
sneered at for it's pains.
The Gazette has now discovered
THAT the so-called cost of a tele-
phone system and exchange is some
times twice as great as what it can
be duplicated for" Exactly what
we have contended, and why we OBJ
iect to paying excessive rates to the
trust.
The Gazette has further discov-
cred that There may be good and
sufficient reasons why some persons
are anxious to pass the proposed
ordinance" If there are ''good"
reasons why anyone should favor a
plant which reduces rates to the
public one-third. there must be still
"better" reasons why some people
favor the continued exclusive con.
troll of plant that charges Excess
sive rates. -
Finally, the Gazette discovers
that a franchise which gives
phones at the dollar and two dollar
rate is "a valuable franchise.
Heretofore we have been told that
an up~to-date system could not give
such rates and live. If the pro-
posed franchise is q valuable one,
how much more valuable is the one
which the present exchange with
its excessive rates enjoys?
The Republican Gazette is up to
it's old tricks of trying to help out
the threatened local Bell exchange.

Editor Willmar Trihune:.-

w llllll0K xk4NAl1C
Kindly permit us to take up a
little of YOUR space in explanation
of what we deem at this time a
question of interest to the citizens
and tax PAYERS of this city At a.
meeting Of the City Council held
last Monday evening, a certain or
dinance to one Mr.. Arthur
c. Bowe, his successors and assigns.
for the installation and operation Of
a telephone system with this city
was granted At that meeting an
attempt was made to modify this
ordinance by certain amendments
which we think were quite essential
and necessary if we look at the
matter from the standpoint of the
city's interest. Why these amend
ments were not favored. we will not
discuss. but needless to say, they
were not adopted and did not be-
come part of said ordinance. IT,
ANY person who is interested may
at his pleasure read the ordinance
adopted and see what is contained
therein. and in order that we may
be as short as possible, we will not
attempt in any manner to go into
details in relation to what was con-
tanned in the ordinance. but rather
what should have been incorporated
therein, and which for some reason
seems to have been sadly neglected.
In the first place this ordinance
grants to Arthur c. Bowe, the
rights and privileges of our streets
and alleys with out specific regard
as to who shall be the Judge as to
the poles or construction Of this
system, except in the very small
matter of as to where the poles and
conduits shall be placed.
Section 3 provided that all tele-
phone wires upon the streets of the
business district shall be placed in
underground conduits. This dis
trict in itself will be a question for
future controversy. Why would
it not have been better to have this
district defined as per the follow
ing amendment which was submit
ted and rejected. namely: All tele-
phone wires to be used in the con-
struction of the said system and ex-
change. within the following por-
tion of the city of Willmar, to wit:
All that portion bounded on the
north by the north line of Pacific
Avenue. on the south by the south
line of Becker Avenue, on the east
by the east line of second Street
and on the west by the west line
Of Seventh Street. shall be in lead
covered cables placed underground
in conduits of such size and Of such
materials as the City of Willmar
may by resolution designate.
We do not feel that there is any
reason to discuss this matter
further, as we believe that it is al
ways easier to avoid trouble than
to get out of it after it comes up.
We will say nothing more about
this. Why would it not be wise to
let the council be the Judge as to

TOWN OF kANDlYOHI ACTS ON
ROAD QUESTION.
editor Of Wi1lmar Tribune


The Town meeting of Kandiyohi,
March 18th unanimously passed a
resolution to have all distractions
cleared from the public highways;
such as rocks, trees and fences. The
demand for wider and better roads
is increasing every year and under
our present law a highway shall be
four rods wide and cartroad two
rods wide and without distractions.
Chapter 215. General Laws 1905,
reads as follows:
Obstruction to Highways and
Penalty. Whoever at any time
obstructs any Of the public high
ways in this state. in any manner,
with intent to prevent the free
use thereof by the public, or who
shall dig any holes or remove any
dirt sand or clay from any such
highway or any part thereof and
thereby damage the same, shall
be subject to fine of not less than
five or more than twenty five dol
lars together with the costs attend
ing such conviction, and. on failure
to pay such fine and costs. may be
committed to the county Jail, there
to remain until such fine and costs
are paid, or until discharged &C.
cording to law; and it is hereby
made the duty of the Board of
Supervisors of the several towns of
this state to make complaint and
prosecute, in their official capacity
all violations of the provisions of
this section.
General Laws of 1905, Chap. 1901
reads like this: Any person living
upon or owning land fronting on a
public road, a portion of which is
not in actual use or needed for pub
lie travel, may pillow, level and
seed the same to grass except with
in one rod Of the center; but he
shall not by such work interfere
with travel upon the road, or be
entitled to compensation therefore,
or acquire title to any portion of
said road thereby. Such land
owner may plant trees on the side
Of such road within six feet of the
outside line thereof, with the writ
ten approval of the town board.
Now the resolution passed at the
Town meeting at Kandiyohi, is no
new law. instead it is an old one:
but the demand for good roads has
never been so pressing before as it
is today; and all land owners should
take notice and in no way obstruct
the public highway. No rocks
should be placed within the road
limits and all fences should be NOV
ed back the full two rods from the.

1l1llls,
lieved that he could please the
people Of both city and country so
we'll with the service he would
give them that the question of city
ownership would never be raised.
{ Mr.. Bowels proposition was
drawn into an ordinance, present
ed TO the council and given it's first
reading. The Bell people were
taken by surprise. The provisions
were SO eminently fair and so
sweepingly destructive of all the
arguments used by the trust to
bolster up its cause at Willmar,
that a new tack must be undertaken
to delay and if possible defeat the
movement. Instead of being OPP
posed to the idea of another ex-
change, the Bell sympathizers at
once became very much concerned
about municipal ownership and
safeguarding the interests of the
city. which up to this time they
have laughed to scorn. They who
had insisted that they were not SUBJ
ject to any public control whatever,
sat up nights figuring how the new
company should be tied down as
closely as possible in every partic-
ular.
They hoped to delay action on the
ordinance until after the city
election on the far chance that the
new administration would be less
favorable to granting the franchise.
But the Mavor and the five alder
men stood their ground and refused
to delav the passage of the >ordi-
nance. for they believed that the
people of the city should have the
right to accept or reject Mr.. Bowe's
proposal, and by passing the ordin-
ance as they did they can order the
submission of the question of its
adoption to the vote of the people
before they retire from their Offices.
If the people then don't like Mr..
Bowe's proposal they can turn ii
down. and continue to pay ex-
orbitant rates to the trust. The
mayor and the council did the
right thing in submitting Mr..
Bowe's offer for the people to &C.
cept or reject. and we believe that
the public generally will honor
them for it.
1t must be borne in mind that
the city will not be responsible for
Mr.. Bowe's success or failure. He
is the party that takes the big
chances. In order to make success
Of competing with the exchange
already established he will be forced
not only to put in a better system
and give the best of service, but
to treat the public in manner that
will bring business to his lines. He
is the man that furnishes the $40,
600 to build the lines with. not the
city. He isn't obliged to build
an exchange at Willmar. There
are other towns where the prospects
are just as good. He has made his
proposition. to this city, and 1t is
up to the people here to accept it
or not as they see fit.
#
So much for the action of the
council in passing the ordinance.
As to the merits of the ordinance,
we will have ample time to discuss
them before the special election
will be held to pass on the same.

the fear that MIR. .Bowe might sell
his franchise to the Northwestern.
