st. Cloud is not sleeping relative to
the proposed removal of the county
seat from that city to Albany. One
of the st. Cloud papers has tried to
make the public believe that Albany
had given up the fight and that the
question is dead issue. This was
done to throw dust in the eyes of the
voters. AS matter of fact ST. Cloud
has been very busy in more ways than
one to circumyent the Albany people
and their hackers. One method en-
ployed by the ST. Cloud hustlers is
the preparation and introduction of
bill in the Minnesota Senate which
II enacted into law will enable the
board OF county commissioners to
issue certificates of Indebtedness to,
for the purpose of "remodeling, recon-
structing, re-erecting. enlarging. furn-
ishing and completing" court house
This is right in line with what The
Herald said some weeks ago that st.

to take the matter out of the hands
Of the people where It belongs and
