information, consolation and pacifica-

The report Of committee to draft
an amendment to certain ordinances
concerning sewer attachments was
called for but owing, principally, to
illness in City Attorney Allphin IS
home, the committee was not ready
to report. The bringing up of this
matter apparently was the signal for
an informal recess, during which each
member Of the council is allowed to
speak privately with each other mem.
Der on matters presumably too
weighty for the ears Of the gallery,
and after each member had complet-
ed the circuit the second time order
was restored and there followed an
aimless discussion Of plumbing ordi.
nances and other matters Of kindred
nature for a period of As minutes.
This discussion had no beginning, no
end, no object to be attained, was
led by everybody and nothing was
said, probably the most brilliant of
the aforesaid nothings offered by
Giddings, each councilman during this
rag chewing showing marked ability
to misunderstood the remarks Of his
colleagues and a cheerful disposition
to antagonize.
w. A. Rush was allowed to present
a protest against certain alleged de.
ficiencies in construction of sewer in
his block, said protest leading into
the discussion of matters apparently
unpleasant and was awarded scant at.
tentiOn.
Council adjourned to meet next
Monday night.

Petition of John Cook and others
for the establishment Of street lights
on the south and east sides Of the
square having been presented last
month, the report Of the fire and
light committee on the matter was
now received. The committee afore-
said magnanimously propose to give
the business people on these blocks
same privilege regarding lights as is
accorded to those on Main street and
Forest Avenue, to-wit: They may put
in all the lights they want providing
that same are located at points desig-
mated by city council and maintenance
paid by the property holders. In same
report the committee suggested the
location Of a large arc light at the
south end of Kansas Avenue, near
the Santa Fe, but neglect to suggest
who will be expected to pay for the
maintenance of same. There was
lengthy discussion of this matter
which ended by the report of the
committee being adopted as stated
above. John Cook was then allowed
to present briefly plan which he
considered better than the original
one for the securing Of light for the
blocks in question, but was unable to
get his plan fully before the council
owing to the unfortunate fact that
Councilman Giddings, who had been
working under high pressure, popped

The question as to whether or not
damages should be allowed for the

DISSATISFACTION OVER
DISPLAY AWARDS AT FAIR

Editor G. F. Peterson of the Bear
River Journal was in the city Monday
night returning to his home from Hib-
bing, where he has been attending the
county fair. Mr.. Peterson reports
that there was some disappointment
over the agricultural awards at the
fair. The D. & l. R. farm at Mead
owlands carried off first prize, with
Floodwood second and Bear, River
third. The Bear River and Floodwood
people both expected to win and had
gone to considerable pains to get up
their exhibit, as had the people in
charge of the Meadowlands exhibit as
well. The prize money the Floodwood
and Bear River people took home will
hardly pay for the work of getting the
exhibits together, and Mr.: Petehrson
says that it will be difficult TO get as
much interest in agricultural exhibits
from his section next year unless the
premiums are larger and the awards
are made on some basis that will give
the real farming districts a better
chance than at present. He says the
fair was fine success and the attend
ance broke all records. There were
over 10000 people on the grounds
Sunday and over 800 automobiles.

HIS HOME TOWN, HIBBING
w. J. Power, manager Of the Power
theater, Hibbing, and pioneer resi-
dent Of the Mesaba range, was Vir-
ginia visitor last week. Mr.. Power
was returning from a trout fishing
trip to the Cloquet river country near

in Virginia until necessary
repairs could be made to his automo-
bile. Mr.. Power is one Of the real
boosters for Hibbing. He has served
several terms as mayor of that city
and while somewhat retiring is still
one of the strongest influences in af-
fairs politicalin Hibbing. He says his
town is enjoying. more business pros
Gritty than for several years. Mr..
Power is having fine bust

handsomest and best equipped play
house on the range, and has booked
some Of the biggest road shows COM

largest attendance from this city was

biggest success ever financially as we'll

man by one of the lumber camps in
the Big Trout lake country, was fined
$11O and costs or three months in the

cumstances financially. He paid the
fine and promised not to violate the
game laws in future.
