Incorporation IS PROTESTED
RESIDENTS OF GRANVILLE TER
RITORY RAISE OBJECTIONS
MATTER MAY BE DROPPED

Since the residents of the territory
in and adjacent to New rPierz voted
to corporate as village to he known
as Granville a protest has been made,
against incorporation and it is now un-
derstood that the entire matter will pe
dropped, 5~r J
A delegation of residents represent.
ing the territory to be included in the
village called upon the state attorney
general at St. Paul one day last week
and protested against incorporatloH on
the grounds that an error had been
made in taking the census and that
the territory did not contain tne re-:
quired 300 Voters, also that an error
had been made in counting the ballots
on incorporation and that too much
territory was taken in in the proposed
corporate limits Of the village. :
The attorney general informed the
delegation that it was too early to
take any action in the matter and ad-S
vised them to wait until the village
officers are elected so that they may
have someone to bring the action
against. He stated that the protest
would be considered at the proper
time but that the state would have to
be guaranteed the costs of the action.
It seems that one of the principal
reasons for the protest is that one Of
the two saloons now operating in the
village of New Pierz would be- closed
under the law which provides that. vii,
lagos Of less that 500 population can
have but one saloon, also tthatethe ex-
pense of water works, city lighting,
etc, would be borne by the residents
not directly in the village. Some Of
the residents who favored incorpora-
tion claimed that both of the saloons,
would be knocked out if the road
house bill, now before, the legislature,
is passed. This bill provides that only
incorporated villages or cities Z can
grant licenses to sell Intoxicating IL
quors. ';s ~ .',&
Probabilities are that theSdelegation
will not take any further steps in re-.
gard to the matter and on the other:
hand it is understood that the entire
matter will be dropped and nothing
will be done in the way Of incorporate.

COMMERCIAL CLUB D0|NCS
DIRECTORS ELECTED AND COM
MUNICATIONS READ AT THE
MEETING MONDAY NIGHT

IT, Commercial club held a regular
meetl4- at the city hall Monday eve
ming, VIII small attendance.
j. K. Martin, August Christensen,
T. H. Dewey, G. w. Firnstahl, w. H.
Ryan, S. c. Vasaly and L. V. Tanner
were elected directors for the ensuing
year. Their names were suggested by
a committee and the unanimous ballot
Of the club was cast for them as the
board of directors.
Secretary R. B. Millard read a COM
munication from Adjutant General
Fred Wood, in which he stated that Il
company Of militia cannot be formed
here at this time, as the state now
has the maximum number of members
allowed by law. He stated that the
application would be placed on file,
which means that Little Falls will ir
it's turn have a chance to get a COM
pany here.
The secretary also read letter from
Representative Lindbergh, in which
the congressman explained VIII work
has not yet been commenced on the
federal building at Little Falls. The
same as was published in the last 49,
sue of the Herald.
Secretary Millard Informed the club
that number Of business men of this
city had received letters from the
Hastings Industrial company of Chi
cago, in which that company offered
to start a corn canning factory here.
The business men had asked the secre-
tary to investigate the matter and he
had written banks and factories in
cities where the company claimed they
were operating successfully and in
most instances had received discourag-
ing answers. In his opinion the com
pany is pushing the PROPOSITIONS main
ly to equip the factories. Nothing was
done in the matter by the club.
G.. Calhoun of the Property Owners
Federation Of Red Wing, mutual fire
insurance company, addressed the club
on fire insurance. This company claims
that it can save the people so per cent
on fire insurance. Mr.. Calhoun ex-
planned that most of this saving is
made through eliminating the big sal
aries of officers and profits Of stock
holders.
President Kiewel called the atten-
ton of the club to the fact that w. f..
Bastien desired an expression from
that organization as to whether he
would be retained as bandmaster dur"
ing the coming season. The club ex-
pressed itself as in favor Of retaining
him on practically the same basis as
| las year. More money will be avail
ob'" f""m the city treasury for the
band this year than last year and the
-be1Ianee- will be raised by public sub
, ,cr;utiOn. ~ -&

CITY T0HAVE MUNICIPAL Court $l7, 600 FIRE AT @WLUS|
PRINCIPAL BUSINESS BLOCK Al
MOST ENTIRELY DESTOYED
YESTERDAY MORNING .'.--

Fire which started in the clothing
store of II. Hoffman of Bowlus early
yesterday morning, destroyed nearly
the entire principal business block on
Main street Of that village. The to-
tai loss will aggregate about $17 900.
The Hoffman store, saloon owned
by Vincent Klisch, and hardware
and saddlery store owned by Paul
Winter & Sons were entirely destroy
ed and the Grand Hotel was badly
damaged. The alarm was turned in at
about 4 O'Clock yesterday morning and
the flames were not suDdued until 7
o 'clock. Two 6O-gallon chemical en-
gines and a bucket brigade battled
the flames and it was only by excellent
work that they were confined to this
block.
The building occupied by the Hoff-
man store was owned by Norman Nc
Leod, and both building and stock were
covered by insurance. The J. Kiewel
Brewing company Of Little Falls own
de the building occupied by the Klisch
saloon. They had $500 insurance on
the same. Mr.. Klisch had no insur-
ance on the stock but a great deal OF
it was saved. One Of the buildings oc-
cupied by Paul Winter & Sons hard
ware and saddlery store was owned by
them and was insured for $1,000, a
part being on the contents. Some Of
the contents in this building were also
saved. The other building was owned
by Porupsky & Folta and was insured
for $500. Mr.. Winter and family
lived in the rear of this building.
Considerable damage was done to
the Grand Hotel, owned by John Pier
zina and operated by his son, George
Pierzina. There was no insurance on
this building. The w. A. Shoemaker
building, located across the street
from the hardware store, was damaged
by heat. The plate glass windows in
the front were cracked. The postof-
fee building, owned by Frank Mischke
Of Pierz, was for a time in great dan
ger1 as was the &C. Philips general
merchandise store, as these buildings
were directly north Of the buildings
which were destroyed and the wind
was from the south.
The hotel building will be repaired
and it is thought that the others will
be rebuilt.
