EAST SIDE NOTES

The stone work for the new post
office building has arrived and was
being unloaded on the site today under
the supervision of Contractor Miller.
The arrival of this material means
more climbing of the walls of the new
government building which is going to
be more pr%etentious than most people
had any idea of.
County Auditor Houglum received a
supply of the new Minnesota civil and
criminal codes today. There We're cop
les for Judge Nye and the different
officials entitled to them.
There is plenty of activity about the
new Jail building nowadays as 1t Is the
structure as nue. ready as possible for
the term of court in November, so
that the prisoners awaiting trial may
be properly housed.

At Crookston today the people are
voting for a new mayor and also wheth
err retail licenses for the sale of iqlor
shall "r shall not be issued. The Times
last night strongly urged the voters 10
overthrow the socialist candidate Tor
mayor and to vote for the continuance
Of the sale of beer and whiskey as the
town needed the license money to keep
the taxes down: The anti-saloon league
is an important factor in the fight and
it's workers predict a victory for no
Whiskey." 1
On account of the balmy weather
during the last few days some of the
farmers in the Red River valley have
been able to resume plowing opera
tions.
If "no-license" prevails today in
Crookston today it will mean that
about $4,000 will have to be returned
to the saloonkeepers for unearned IL
cense money and the question IS, where
Is the money to come from.
