MAYOR AND SMART ARGUE
Parker Tells Alderman Under What
Conditions He Will Sign Warrant.

II want it distinctly understood
that if it is the intention of any COM
mittee to override tie will of the
whole council shall not sign that
warrant" said Mayor Parker at the
end of a controversy at the council
meeting last night with Alderman
Smart over the payment Of the laying
of cement walks north Of Eighth
street Some time ago the council
agreed that the laying of walks
should stop because of lack of funds,
owing to paving operations. It ap-
pears that the walks were continued
and it developed last night that Al
derman Smart, chairman Of the COM
mittee had instructed John Goodman,
city sidewalk layer, TO continue with
the work. Mayor Parker refused to
sign warrants and the work stopped
only when Mr. Goodman found that
he could get no money from the city.
After a lengthy discussion of the
matter it finally was agreed that the
whole thing had been a misunder-
standing. The mayor agreed to sign
the warrant providing it was under
stood that twas a misunderstanding.

CITY READY FOR BARGAIN
Council Favorable to Proposition to
Purchase Street Sprinkler and
Sweeper.
SEE SAVING OF NEARLY $500

* Bemidji is to have modern and
complete and most improved street
sprinkler for its paving and the best
street sweeper that money can buy
and both machines are to be bought
at bargain, according to plans ad-
vanced at the city council last night
Mayor Parker Informed the coun-
Gil that there was on display at the
State Fair at Hamline last week
these two machines, the best that the
company had to offer and brought to
Hamline from Chicago for display
purposes
The sprinkler, which will also be
used to flush the streets, usually sells
at $500. The street sweeper, one of
the latest models, usually sells for
$3.50. The mayor informed the coun-
Gil that the company had agreed to
sell both these machines to the city of
Bemidji at the combined reduced
price of $500. a.
More than that, the mayor said
that the company had agreed to place
the machinery in the hands of the
city and to wait for their pay until
next June This sounded like bar
gain to the council and it was decid-
ed that the machines should be
brought unless there " ere other bid
ders who cared to place as good ma
chinery in the hands of the city on
still more favorable terms which, it
was admitted is not likely.
1t was decided, however, upon ad-
vice from City Attorney Russell, that
the proper thing to do would be to ad-
vertise for bids and this was agreed
upon and bids will he asked for a
street sprinkler and sweeper It was
the general understanding, however,
that the two machines on exhibit at
the State Fair would ultimately be
in the hands of the city and at bar
gain prices for the best of machinery.

All fears of possi0.a financial Diff

now under way here were dispelled
last night, after City Engineer Ev-
arts had presented d report Of the
cost of paving up to date, when May
or Parker announced to the council
that he had been assured by the Be-
midi banks that they would furnish
all necessary 1unus, taking the city
warrants for any length of time.
1t appeared, however, that with
the cash collections from property
owners in the paving zone, there
would be sufficient funds to carry on

Now Race With Frost.

The only question now is as to
whether the paving company will
succeed in getting a.; the pavement,
together with few added blocks to
be paid for by property owners, be-
fore cold weather sets i'll.
'sThe paving men told me- said
Mayor Parker, that they would
complete the first five blocks within
the next few days, ana that all the
work would be done On time"
1t also developed that there no
longer is any doubt as to whether
the block at the foot of Beltrami to
the Union depot is to be paved, the
contractors having signifed their be-
lief that the recent grading is in
proper shape to receive the cement.
The council also favOrs the laying of
this block, and therefore the cement
will go down.

 Governor Foss went into the heart of the enemy's camp and at a large meeting at Holyoke, which was attended by the fnajor part of the operatives of the Al paca company, said that mills making from 40 to 476 per cent profit on their capi- talizatien were not likely to close, nc matter who was elected governor. David l. Walsh, democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, was chosen to take up this issue with the Alpaca com pany. He pointed out that on the origl- nal capitalization of the company profits netting 476 per cent had been paid. He furthermore asserted that an official oi
 the company had received salary in crease of more than 700 per cent since ths year 1900. In that year he said that MT Metcalf was receiving $15.000 a year, and that today he is getting $50,OOo.

The tariff and the high cost of living are the issues in tine present campaign for governor and ether state officers AsM
 Senator Crane is engineering the fight for the republicans and nas forced the tariff as tho main issue. He calls upon the people of the state through the manu- facturiny interests to support the tariff yetoes of President Taft. He declares that the election of Gov. Eugene Floss, the democratic candidate for governor, will mean a repudiation of President Taft's policy and will result in the elec- tion of democratic President next year.
 Textile mills are being run on short time to impress the employees with the fact that if the democratic ticket is suc- cessful short time and short wages will be the reward they will receive.
 This contest is centered around Hol- yoke where the Farr Alpaca company employs close to 5000 men. This is the biggest corporation of the kind in the country. Republican spellhinders on the stump have quoted Joseph Metcaif, treas- urer of this corporation, as saying that had not President Taft vetoed the woolen schedule, passed by the democrats in the last Congress, this great industry not alone would have been forced to close down, but would have been unable to
