Special Meeting

Special Meeting of the Common Coun-
ell of the City of Sank Centre, Mimi,
held Saturday. September 10th, at 9
o'clock P. M.
The Council convened pursuant to
call of the Mayor with all the members
in attendance.
The object Of the. meeting was stated
to be the purpose of considering mat
ters pertaining to Electric Light and
Power Plant.
The Light and Power Company of st.
Cloud, submitted two propositions:
In the first proposition, they stated
they would complete their arrange
ments with the Milling Company, put
in concrete dam, and furnish the City
with current on it's own switchboard
for q term of fifteen years. The month
ly minimum bill to be $4,000
The clerk was directed to place the
proposition on file, but the rates seemed
to the Council, to be prohibitive, based
on best estimates and information, at
hand on the cost of production of cur
rent.
The second proposition was on q
whole sale current on our sW1tchboard
at a slightly better rate, but was made
conditional that the City take over the
present Pole line, which Mr.. Whitney
proposed to sell to the City for $2Z,-
f765.24. AS the City had bids as low a.
| ST. 926.00 for an all new Pole line, IN
lcluding White Way. with up TO -date az
pliances, this couldn't be consldered.
The Council decided to continue tnt
Investigations and await the report o.

journment with all the members in at
tendance. After a lengthy interview
with Mr.. A G. Whitney, the Council
adjourned to the Commercial Club
rooms and at 2:30 p. M. met Engineer
Earl D. Jackson and the representatives
of the several Contractors and Equip
ment Companies and took up the mat
ter of considering the bids as adver-
tised for
Before opening any bids, the Bidders
were advised that the Council proposed
to take three weeks, if it thought ne
cessary for Investigations and any bid
der not willing to allow his bid to
stand for that time, was requested not
to bid on any part of the job. But one
bidder withdrew his bid, the others
consenting to abide by this ruling.
Again the Council reserved the right
in case a Steam Plant was decided on,
to place such power building at point
other than that mentioned in the plans
and specifications, but agreed with the
bidder, that if any additional grading,
or other expense was to be incurred by
the builder by making such change,
the City would stand such additional
expense.
With these reservations the Council
proceeded to open the bids. Each bid
was tabulated on blanks furnished by
the Engineer, and one copy filed with
the City and the other retained by the
Engineer The Engineer Mr.. Jackson
was requested to classify the bids on
different items and submit them de-
tailed report to the Council as early
as possible and at the hour of 1890 M
the Council adjourned, to await the
Engineers report.

THE NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE
3y N. S. Ran

This is the first of six articles that
will appear in the columns of this
paper regarding the purpose OF the
Farmers Nonpartisan Political League
of Minnesota which is affiliated with
the North Dakota Farmers Nonparti-
san League which numbers Over4O,O 900
farmers in its membership.
This space is paid for at the regu-
lar advertising rate charged by this
paper and l believe twill be money
well spent. Publicity is the one thing
that we can depend on to right wrongs
and correct evils that may exist, and
as a further means of publicity l am
going to ask everyone of the three
hunared farmers of this vicinity who
are members Of the league to meet
in mass meeting at the CAUGH-
rem THEATRE, Sank Centre, on the
afternoon of Friday, Sept. 10Th, at
two o'clock in the afternoon where
will discuss the causes that led up to
the organization of the North Dakota
farmer and the object sought by that
organization.
| hereby publicly invite every
farmer that reads this article
to attend this meeting. l earnestly
request every farmer that is a mem
Der of the League to invite his neigh
Dor to attend. l invite every business
man. professional man and working
man to attend. Let us make this
meeting long to be remembered 1or
the good it will do to the farmer OF
this vicinity and through the farmer
To those who are depending on the
farmer for their living.
Do your shopping Friday instead
of Saturday. Come to town early
and get your business off your hands
and he in your seat at the CAUGH-
rem THEATRE promptly at two O.
clock. In the mean time get copy
of the St: Paul Daily News for Friday
Sent. Is, and read what its special
correspondent has to say about the
Nonpartisan League. Also get a CO.
nv of the July issue Of the Minnesota
Farm Review published by the MIN
nesota Agricultural College and see
the importance it's Editor places on
the League and yet there are some PIN
heads who are button holing the far
mer and telling him what danger
Gus thing it is for him to concentrate
his political power upon a program
that the farmer wants enacted into a
law and trying to raise the question
of what becomes of the sixteen dollars
Here goes part of it to pay for this
ad and the Theatre will take some
more of it and if it takes all OF it OF
every member that joins: that's what
the money is for, TO BUILD AN Or
GANIZATION. That's all this time.

Thousands of women suffer miser-
ably from periodic attacks of head
ache, never dreaming that perma-

nearly always results from some dis

will be no more headache. Many
have been permanently cured by
