to care for the small excess to be re-
quired to suitably finish the building
now under construction. To clean up
this Indebtedness by floating bonds
and reducing the rate of interest will
be good business.
If, after investigating the municipal
proposition from every angle, it seems
advisable to erect municipal plant,
it would seem best to make con-
tract with the company represented
by Mr.. Whitney. 1t is a big concern
with an abundance of capital. The
Herald is not afraid Of big business.
In this day and age-that spells eff
cheney. AS to just what the rate should
be the Herald is not advised. We can
all talk glibly about so much per XIV,
but, getting down to brass tacks, what
do we know about it. The present
rates may be too high, and they may
even be too low. Mr.. Merryman
claims that he has furnished the day
current at an actual loss. We do know
that the present lighting rates are
21a cents per XIV. lower than they
start in St. Paul or Minneapolis. Of
course, large users get very low
rate.
Should Mr.. Whitney furnish the
juice for Sank Centre on a contract,
the Herald believes the Council should
insist upon a clause providing for a
stiff penalty for every hour shut down.
The users of juice, especially for pow
er, are sometimes put to great incon-
venience and loss because of shut
downs. The Herald's reason for sug-
costing stiff penalty is to insure the
installation of sufficient equipment to
reduce the chances of an extended
shutdown to a minimum.
The City Council are trustworthy
business men and they can be depend
ed upon to work for the best interests
of Sank Centre in this very important
matter. They are DESTROYS of securing
all the reliable light possible on the
lighting question. "A. M. w.

by the result.
By their activity in the Wadena
convention, the St. Cloud gentlemen
have made it appear that Stearns
county has thrown up her hands in
this matter and gone body and
breeches over to the opposition. Of
course, at the present time, st. Cloud
is not confronted with a county seat
scrap or similar contest and it does
not appear to be necessary to fawn
upon and flatter the Western part of
the county, but even so, it takes the
St. Cloud class of nerve to attempt,
without any authority, to line the en-
tire county up on proposition that
is absolutely detrimental to the best
interests of the county as whole.
But, as was stated in the beginning,
they are playing the same old game.

PLAYING SAME OLD GAME

Judging from recent developments
in the Jefferson Highway controversy,
st. Cloud is playing the usual game
of throwing down the western section
of Stearns county by lining up with
interests that are antagonistic to this
section.
Last week at meeting of interest
ed citizens held at Wadena, St. Cloud
was represented by Alvah Eastman, ].
J. Hilbe and C. Quigley. These gen.
tlemen actively participated in and
became part Of the organization of
the Central Minnesota Jefferson High
was Association, the purpose of which
is to have the highway established via
st. Cloud-Little Falls-Wadena.
When the resolutions were passed
these gentlemen assumed, as St. Cloud
interests have on hundreds of other
occasions, that they were Stearns
county, and placed Stearns county on
record as favoring the proposed Lit
tie Falls-Wadena route. The resolu-
lions adopted have been sent to the
State Highway Commission.
The Herald doesn't question the
right of St. Cloud as city to throw
down the county of which it is part,
but we do object to representatives of
that city assuming the right to trade
the entire county any old way they
see fit, especially when the trade is
detrimental to and against the earnest
desire of every town between Sank
Centre and St. Cloud.
Bro. Eastman of the Journal-Press
must have had a recent change of
heart in this matter, because he stated
to the writer and DR.. J. A. Dubois in
the office of the State Highway Com
mission on the day of holding the joint
meeting on the jefferson Highway
question in the winter, that the Sank
Centre-Long Prairie route was the
logical route for the highway and that
he would be with Stearns county to
the finish in endeavoring to locate the
highway through the towns from St.
Cloud to Sank Centre.
St. Cloud has been definitely located
upon the route anyway, and it would
be of interest to the people in other
sections of Stearns county to ascer-
tain the object of St. Cloud in

1t is perfectly right and proper for
the towns and cities along the propos-
ed Little Falls-Wadena route to per-
feet an organization to promote their
interests. The State Highway Com
mission have promised to go over each
of the proposed routes very carefully
and with an open mind. If they will do
so, and take into consideration the
character of the towns and cities en-
route, the splendid highways already
constructed, the abundance of perma-
nent road-making material, the hotel
accommodations, garages, the splen-
didly developed section of country

Since the ordinance went into effect
many complaints have been made to

The complaints have been handled by
the police as fast as they came in.
In every instance the police found it
necessary only to notify the owner of
the roosters that the birds were a nui-

Farmers of Kansas Care Not
For the High Markets.
Estimated That as Per Cent of
1916 Crop Is Stored.
SOON NAME THEIR OWN PRICE
Belief That Before Winter Is
Over Market Will Rise.
Talking of Two Dollar Wheat
in Kansas Now.

With wheat rocketing around $1.45
and s1.5o in Chicago and near that
price in Topeka, farmers are holding a
whip hand over the market. 1t was
estimated today by officials of the
Santa Fe that the farmers in Kansas
are holding the bulk of this years
crop in this state. Some reports place
the estimate as high as 75 per cent.
Farmers all over the state say they
will continue to hold. They expect
higher prices. Quotations may slump
but they will go up again. They-the
farmers-believe before the winter is
over they will be able to name their
own price-unless peace suddenly
reign over Europe. Right now, in this
state, SITS and So wheat is being
talked of-in a speculative way of
course.
Agents of different governments, led
by those Of England, have made
mammoth purchases in the last week.
Their wants, IT is believed, are much
larger than they will admit. But
they say that few million would be
acceptable and they are making in
quiries for more.
Why Prices Are High.
Claims made by several persons in
official positions that the market is
being manipulated in a high-handed
manner are given but little credence
here. The spring wheat losses in this
country, the outlook in western Can
ada, the fact that nearly all the cash
grain in that country has been sold
and the reports of a great Russian
deficit show, it Is pointed out, where
the rocketing values are getting their
motive power.
Despite the reports of crop experts
| that the quality of wheat has been
hurt, tests taken by buyers fail to up
hold the statements. There Is simply
a shortage, not to amount to anything
in Kansas, but in other places.

CARGO OF RELICS
Returned Arctic. Explorers Tell
of Second Greenland.
Party Reaches Nome Will
Thirty Tons of Specimens.

Nome, Alaska, Aug. 16.-Six mem
bers of the Vilhjalmur-Ste -Stefansson Arc
tic expedition who arrived here on the
power schooner Alaska today related
their experiences in the polar regions
during the last three years. They said
Stefansson, who remained in the Arc
tic to continue his work of exploring
newly discovered land north of Prince
Patrick land probably would not re-
turn to civilization during the present
season.
The party aboard the Alaska was
under Rudolph Anderson, Stefansson's
chief subordinate who had been ex-
ploring and charting the coast line
bordering Union and Dolphin straits
of the mouth of the Mackenzie river.
All of the party which left here on
the Alaska in July, 1913, returned with
the exception of Daniel Blue, engineer,
who died at Bailey Island in May,
1915. The entire party was in good
physical condition and the members
expressed themselves as having thor
oily enjoyed their long experience in
the Arctic. despite the many hardships
encountered in land so remote from
civilization.
Traced 200 Miles OF Coast Line.
George Wilkins, photographer who
last saw the chief, learned from Stef-
ansson that the new land which the
explorers discovered may be described
as second Greenland. Up TO the
time that Stefansson left the new
land after his memorable trip across
the frozen sea with Storker S. Stork-
erson and Ole Anderson, the explorer
traced about 200 miles of its shore
line and found high mountains upon
it. Mr.. Wilkins says that it was Stef-
ansson's intention to return to the
new land last spring to continue the
work of exploration.
The Alaska brings about thirty tons
of specimens gathered during the
years spent in the north, in addition
| to a mass of data of great value from
a scientific standpoint
