EXAMINERS (. REPORT
"A NUMBER OF RECOMMENDA
TIONS-BUSINESS GENERAL
LY CONDUCTED LEGALLY

Edwin j. Bishop has made his re-
port to Public Examiner Fritz Of his
audit and examination Of the city of
Little Falls, covering the period from
April !, 1907 to September l, 1912, and
a copy has been filed in the city
clerks office. The report covers near:
~ 100 pages Of typewriting, and in
cludes an invoice Of the city's re-
sources and liabilities, many recon-
mendations and a number Of criticisms
in the conducting Of the city's bust
ness.
The report tends to show that a
number Of transactions in which city
officials sold goods to the city have
not been within the charter, and that
the city suffered no financial loss by
reason Of such tre' sactions, but rec
ommends that the law be strictly OBJ
served.
The report also calls attention to the
appropriations made for Memorial
day, fairs, conventions, etc., and states
that there is no provision in the chart
er which gives authority for so doing,
although public benefits accure there
from.
On the pay Of city officials Mr..
Bishop suggests that the salary be fix
ed so as to cover all work which might
be done for the municipality ir their
particular line during the year, and
states that salaries have been more
moderate than excessive.
A number Of library warrants have
not been signed by the president, &C.
cording to the report, and these should
not be liquidated by the treasurer.
The bonded Indebtedness of the city
Sept. l, was $4,000, a per capita Of
1851, and is per cent of the assess.
ed valuation for the year 1911. Net
bonded Indebtedness, less sinking fund,
is $107, 071.42.
The per capita tax for city govern
ment expense the current year is CIV
en- at 1928 and as 1924 per cent Of as
sessed valuation.
The examiner also made out several
forms which he suggested as advisable
for use, such as liquor licenses, re-
ceipts, etc.
The judgments referred to below
have been satisfied.
General Recommend atoms
Reference to detail No. &C would
indicate that revenue from miscellane-
Gus licenses could probably be aug
mented. The city receives no revenue
from vehicles; dog licenses have been
Internationally col4ected during the
last few years; no theater license has
been collected, as provided for by or
dinance, and no billiard and pool IL

The first has probably been paid, the
second was paid within the period of
this audit, and $1,000 partial payment
was made on the third and satisfac-
tions therefore should be obtained and
recorded.
The business Of the municipal corpor-
alton has been generally conducted L.
gally and efficiently. Departmental
operations have been free from extra
vagance and mismanagement, and, al
lowing for the deficiencies in the sys-
tenn in use, the accounting records have
been generally neatly and accurately
maintained.

hORMALlTfS WIN GAME.
NEITHER TEAM SCORED IN FL
NAL QUARTER-VIsITORS WE'RE
TOO HEAVY

The local high school team was de-
feated by the St. Cloud Normal
eleven at the athletic park by a score
Of 26 to 8, Friday afternoon in which
several times the locals showed flashes
Of speed and handled themselves as
veterans.
Both team put up very stubborn
fight in the first quarter and neither
scored during this interval, but in tie
second quarter one Of the .ncr-,c,!,iites
succeeded in crossing the line with the
sphere tucked under his arm. The
down river bunch repeated the trick
once in the third quarter and twice in
the fourth. Williams made two out of
the four goals attempted. Although the
locals succeeded in carrying the ball
to within striking distance several
times they did not score until the third
quarter when Dunphy succeeded in
placing drop kick from the 20-yard
line between the bars, which gave 3
points to the Orange and Blue war
riors. The final score was 26 to with
the Normal bunch holding the big end
Of the score.
Both elevens used nothing but old
style football and towards the end Of
the game the difference in weight be-
gan to tell on the high school boys. 1t
is possible that tho trick play tactics
may have been used by the locals with
astonishing results against the slower
down river eleven.
Dunphy was the greatest ground
gamer for the locals, while Liljedahl
and Murn were the consistent gamers
for the Normal. Liljedahl made three
and Murn four Of the touchdowns for
St. Cloud.
Dunphy made long run on the
kick off and succeeded in passing all
but one Of the opposing team; Mum m
! made 6o-yard run. "Heine" Mitchell
of St. Cloud was the referee and Earl
Wetzel acted as umpire.

 He arrived m Prescott in 1869. and in the early days was regarded as an energetic citizen. and also one of the builders of the country. He was native of England. but in his youth came to the United States, where in after years he was natural issd as a citizen. He located in S,. Louis. but m Iss5 was seized with the spirit to 20 west. when he To- eated in Washington territory.
 He was engaged by the British government in surveying the inter national boundary, and sf,erward ran a large pack train into the Frazier river mining country and to Idaho. He passed through many exciting episodes in this perilous work. but escaped unhsrmed On arriving in Prescott in lS6o. he went to Williamson valley. where he To- oaied land ,ha, Is familiarly known to this day as Simmons station, and where he made his home, except when following his vocation as a packer to the mines adjacent to this city

 The officials oi the Santa Fc here have sent copies to every agency on their lines which will be affected by the extremely low season rates they are making for those desiring to en- roll as members of the Prescott Chautauqua
 While it Is difficult, to estimate the number of visitors to be brough, here by this attraction. indications seem to spell success for the under. taking Unrcmitting efforts will be pu, forth. however. until June IS. to swell the incoming tide of visitors as much as possible.
 Among the outstanding entertain ment features of this Chau,auqua will be the appearance of very fine company of concert artists inoiud- ing Mrs Cecil Norton Winchester, lyric grand opera soprano of ma tional reputation. Mrs Winchester possesses voice of heavy iimbfe and superb quality and includes m her repertoire some of the greatest arias in the realm of the famous masters
