Clarion Instead of Fl. Dodge.

In place Of playing against the
Fort Dodge base ball team in this
city on July 3rd, as scheduled, the
local team will try out with the
Clarion bunch. Owing to the fact
that several of the best players OF
the Fort Dodge squad are to be away
from their homes on July 3rd, their
manager telephoned Mr.. Kearns
this morning saying that they
would not be here. However, the
Clarion team have been asking for
dates with the locals since the sea-
son opened and this change VIII
make the game possible. Although
the past games between Fort Dodge
and the home team have been most
interesting contests, the game with
Clarion should prove as good. The
Clarion bunch are reputed to be a
squad of real live ones, They have
many victories to their credit this
season, the fast Bows team being
among the vanquished. ~

membered that a party of local cap
italists were DESTROYS of erecting and
maintaining in this city central
heating plant. The council was OPP
posed to them and to head off the
proposition of private plant,
municipal plant was installed.
Suppose a franchise had been
granted the private company and
their plant established instead of
the municipal plant? Would the
city council and the people of the
city permit the private company to
abandon its plant just because new
mains and other repairs were nee
essary?
We hardly think so.
The council would order them to
make such repairs as were neces-
sary and force the continuation OF
the plant during the life of the
franchise.
The municipal plant was estab-
lished to keep out the private plant.
Why, then, should not the city do
with it's plant what It would force a
private corporation to do?
