COUNTY SEAT REMOVAL

county seat of Stearns county
from St. Cloud to Albany is prac-
ticable, desirable and feasible.
The only opposition comes from
St. Cloud and it's immediate vicin.
ity.
The main argument in favor of
removal is that the present coun-
ty seat is difficult of access from
two thirds of the county, while
Albany, the applicant for coun
ty seat honors, is easy Of access
to five sixths of the county. AL
bany is thriving town midway
between the eastern and the
western boundaries of the coun-
ty and not far from the centre,
measuring north and south. The
main line of the Great Northern
railway passes through Albany,
with convenient train service.
The BrOoten branch of the 500
line crosses the Great Northern
at Albany, giving access from
the northeastern and the south
western parts of the county. To
the great mass of the farming
community there is no compari-
son IN the matter of convenience
of access between the two places.
Albany is so situated geographic
cally as to make it an easy mat
ter for a large majority of the
farmers to reach it; just the OPP
posite holds for St. Cloud.
By locating the county seat at
Albany the people will benefit
themselves, both in the matter
of convenience and Of finance.
Half Or two thirds the amount of
money now spent in railroad fare
to reach St. Cloud will be saved
when the county seat shall have
been located at Albany.
st. Cloud naturally opposes
the proposed removal and It's
newspapers reflect it's sentiment.
At first they laughed; now they
are beginning to see that the
people are in earnest. The
Times, following it's customary
policy of misrepresentation, is
particularly vicious. In it's is

move to divide the county and

the chairman of the Sank Centre
Commercial Club committee, DR..
j. A. Dubois, whose honesty
even the mendacious Times has
not the audacity to impeach,
stated that division was a dead
issue and that Sank Centre was
on hand to help locate the coun-
ty seat in a central place, namely
at Albany. Nobody is talking
division except the sour stom-
ached Times and that only to
try to throw dust in the eyes of
the people. But the people
know what they want and are 60

ing it needless of any gratuitous
advice from that quarter.
