$50 an Acre
For Ills Prize Oats

Bowbells, N. D., Aug. 26.-(SpeciaD
Gronlund, living south OF
the city, will not sell his oats to the
Great Northern, which wants a right
of way through his land, for less than
$50 an acre.
Gronlund brought seed oats that
cost $3.50 a bushel on the assurance
that they would produce larger
yield than any other kind. He spe-
cially prepared the field and the oats
have made such fine showing that
neighbors have engaged all he can
spare at $3.50 a bushel. The grain
stands four feet high and Gronlund
estimates that he will get 100 bushels
to the acre. Other farmers are sell
ing their crops at SIS an acre. Gron-
lund is willing to sell his land at the
same price as his neighbors, but his
prize oats he will not give up, except
on the terms he names.

The adjourned meeting of the city

pose of awarding a contract for new
machinery Tor the municipal lighting
plant, closed with dramatic incident
when Alderman Mackey vehemently
objected to the procedure, and posi-
lively refused to make the vote unan-

Erie City Iron Works. The success
full bid was $24,950, the highest Offer
ed with the exception of Robinson,
CCary and Sands Company, which CO.
incidently placed the maximum figure
OF its six bids at exactly the same
amount.
The committee, composed of Mayor
Platou, Aldermen Lee, Thompson and

bank, of the municipal lighting plant,
which was selected to go over the bids
and recommend the best proposal to
the council, reported that it consider
ed the bid of the Erie City Iron Works
the best from an economical stand
point although the highest price.
Alderman Mackey did not sign the re-
port nor concur in the choice of the
majority.
Following the reading of the report
OF the committee, Alderman Lee
moved it's adoption, Alderman Mackey
then moved to amend the resolution
by giving the contract to r. B. Whit

proximately $1,000 lower than that of
the Erie City Iron Works. Alderman
Mackey and O'Malley voted for the
amendment, and Aldermen Lee,

when think l am right, I am going
to stick to it."
Mr.. Hanks bowed and returned to
his seat.
When the committees report was
read Alderman O'Malley requested
Superintendent Burbank to explain the
reasons of the committee for recon-
mending the purchase of the type OF
engine represented by the Erie con-
Germ when cheaper bids were offer
ed on engines of higher rating.
Mr.. Burbank said the committees
decision was based wholly upon the
economic features of the accepted en-
CINE, as mathematical calculatio had
demonstrated that it would be cheaper
in the end on points of durability and
fuel consumption. He said the saving
in fuel would offset the difference in
the prices contained in the bids.
Further questioned by Alderman
O'Malley, Mr.. Burbank said the engine
offered by the Erie company did not
conform to the specifications prepared
by the city, but the rating of the en-
CINE was sufficient to meet all re-
quirements of the municipal lighting
plant for many years to come.
Alderman Lee, explaining his vote
in the committee, gave practically the
same views as Superintendent Bur-
bank.
Following the adoption of the re-
port of the committee, and vote to
award the contract to the Erie City
Iron Works, the mayor, city auditor,
and superintendent of the lighting
plant were directed to prepare the
contract.
The machinery is to be delivered
within seventy-1ve days, so per cent.
of the contract price to be paid when
the machinery is on the ground, and
the remainder at the rate of 10 per
cent. every thirty days after the plant
is accepted, until paid.

Here.

Miss Ethel Fay, the new girl singer who
is making a hit at the Cozy moving pic
ture house, is Topeka born girl. She
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs J. p.
Robinson and was born in North Topeka.
The Robinson home was on North Kansas
avenue just north of Gordon street Mrs
Robinson is a sister of Mrs. Sylvester Hill
of North Topeka
The Robinsons moved to Kansas Citv
some eleven years ago. Their daughfers
Ethel and Dolly. then children, took part
in a production of Shakespeare's Mid
summer Nights Dream
From that time both have been on the
stage. When just little girls the sisters
did a vaudeville singing and dancing act
and were known as the Fay Sisters They
appeared here at the old Air Dome about
two years ago
Since that Dolly Fay was married.
Ethers mother, who is with her here
did not like the idea of her girl, who is
only eighteen, being on the road alone.
Truin Lord, pianist at the Cozy was
with the same company for whom the F'ay
sisters were playing recently. and through
him Miss Fay secured her present engage
ment.
