COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

The first regular meeting OF the new
council met Tuesday evening. The
roll call was answered by Featherstone,
Hale, Kugelman, Miller, Seeley and
Snyder, with Mayor Day in the chair.
Mr.. Woldenberg's nop-attendance was
caused by illness.
The Office of city attorney will soon
be vacant as Attorney Nelson has sig
nified his intention Of resigning as soon
as he has disposed of little unfinished
business.
Minutes of the two previous meet
ings were read and approved.
A communication from the Seattle
Brewing Company requesting permits
sion to make repairs amounting to
$500 on the frame building owned
by them and formerly occupied by
Templin & Mckenzie, was read. The
matter was referred to the building
committee.
Discussion on this matter suggested
to Mayor Day the advisability of ap-
pointing a building inspector and he
named Mr.. Lindblom. The appoint
ment, however, was not approved and
the matter will be taken up at some fu-
ture date after the duties of the Office
have been defined and the manner of
remuneration fixed.
A motion was made instructing the
clerk to inquire Of Nuzum & Nuzum
as to whether they would prosecute the
suit Of the city against Seaman &
Quigg on a contingent fee, and if so,
what per cent they would demand.
Motion carried by unanimous vote
without discussion.
The bond of Treasurer Woodrow for
S5OOU was approved.
The boot-legging ordinance, which
fixes minimum fine OF 500 and 80
day Jail sentence, had its third reading
and was passed.
It was decided that in view of the
present quiet conditions in the city the
services OF one policeman is sufficient
and Mr.. Delamater. night man, was
dropped. Mr.. Potter will be on duty
from 5 p. m. to 5 a. m.
The water situation then came up
and Water Commissioner Tolbert was
called on to throw light on conditions.
He says slush snow and ice choked up
the intake and that owing to the slug
gish flow OF the water thru the pipes
the exposed portion of the line, which
lies on trestle, was gradually frozen.
He estimates there were perhaps a
thousand feet that would have to be re-
placed. After some discussion Clerk
Brown was authorized to order 1900
feet Of new pipe and Mr.. Tolbert was
instructed to Immediately begin taking
out the frozen pipe so that there may
be no delay when the new pipe arrives.

Base Drainage Plans
On Results of Past,
Judge Amidon's S Plea

With 100000 worth Of experience in

embark on new drain ventures, should
take stock" says Judge 9. F. Amidon.
in a. statement to The Forum today,
and determine upon proper methods Of
drainage, as shown by results so far
accomplished.
Pointing to the fact that at least
one big county drain is absolutely
valueless, SO far as making the adjac-
ent farming land any more valuable
for agricultural purposes is concerned,
Judge Amidon suggests that dele
gate convention be held in Fargo to
study the whole problem, and deter
mine from the 100000 worth Of ex-
perince, steps advisable in connection
with future drainage operations.
Mr.. Amidon's statement follows:
"W. r. Tucker, our capable county
auditor, has kindly furnished me a
statement showing the location and
cost of drains that have been con-
structed in Cass county. They are
thirty in number. Their original cost,
without interest, was $420,237.30. Bonds
have been issued for that amount run
ming about ten years and bearing in
terest at five to seven per cent. So the
total cost when these drains are paid
for will be about 100000. Here is a
body of experience which. if it could
be collected, would be worth a great
deal more than windy and mischiev-

OF PEORIA DEAD

Peoria, Ill, Aug. 2S. - Archbishop
John Lancaster Spalding, noted pre-
late of the Catholic church in Illinois
and a resident of Peoria consecutively
since 1877. when he was elected to the
position of bishop of the newly created
Peoria diocese, died at his residence
here Friday afternoon at 3: 80 o'clock.
He had been ill for a number Of
years, having suffered a paralytic
stroke in 1906.
The end has been expected daily for
the past week. His condition steadily
became worse. No pain was suffered
during the last days of his illness. His
condition was borne with fortitude and
his every thought was for the welfare
Of the church and of the many parish
ioners in this city and in the diocese
over which he presided for years.
Bishop Spalding was elevated to the
position of archbishop of Scyphopolis in
1908. this position being awarded him
on account of his great work for the
church and for his tremendous work for
humanity. The high position was given
by Pope Plus k, who had long been
recognizing the tremendous work of
the prelate.

these subjects"
Another question dealt with the
type of torpedoes with which battle
ships were equipped, Mr.. Gardner as
serting that those in use in 1914 had
been declared absolete by navy ord

report and that of the chief OF ord
nance to which Mr.. Gardner referred.
Il am also glad to inform him." he
continued, that since then all the
dreadnoughts in commission have been
equipped with these new torpedoes."
The secretary refuted Mr.. Gard
ner's assertions that there had been
undue delay in the completing OF navy
ships of various types now under
construction. Labor conditions made
it difficult to hasten this work, he
said, but the department was doing
all in it's power in this regard and

Daniels Carries Fight
to Maine In Effort to
Answer Navy Charges

Milbridge, Me-, Aug. 26.-Secretary
of the Navy Daniels delivered here
last nightss the first of a. series of
sDeeches he will make in this state
during the next few days which mark
his entry into the campaign for the
reelection of President Wilson. While
he touched on other topics to some
extent Mr.. Daniels devoted his speech
particularly to answering charges
made by Representative A. P. Gard
ner, of Massachusetts,, who has been
the secretary's chief critic in con-
gress.
Mr.. Daniels referred to a series OF
thirteen questions regarding the ad-
ministration of the navy which MIR.
Gardner propounded to the secretary
in a letter, saying that all of them
had been asked by Mr. Gardner and
answered satisfactorily by the navy
department many times.
There are doubtless people who are
able to ask more questions than Mr..
Gardner" the secretary said, but /
doubt If any one has ever asked the
same questions so many times with
out paying the slightest attention to
the answers. l have done everything
but sing them to him and while good
ness knows 1 am no singer. If by sc
doing / could get him to stop asking
questions long enough to listen to
to music"
Answering one of Mr.. Gardner's
questions which alleged that twelve
Of the 21 battleships in the feet re-
corded unsatisfactory scores in the
1914 battle practice, the secretary
produced a letter from Captain c. P.
Plunkett, director of gunnery exer-
cises, who said of his 20 years eX-
perience in the navy:
II know Of no time during that
period when the enemies of our coun-
try had more to fear from the bat
teries of our fleet than they have to-
day"
Captain Plunkett added that by d.
rection of the secretary the widest
possible publicity would be given to-
the battle practice results next
month.
II do not sympathize with this
form of criticism" the gunnery direc-
tor wrote referring to Mr.. Gardner's

6THSTORY
IS KILLED
Aged Priest, Relieved of
Duty, Dashed to Death
at Chicago Today

Chicago, Aug. 26-Rev. Ignatius To-
mazin, formerly parish priest at st.
Anthony German Catholic church at
Albany, Mimi, fell from the sixth story
of a window in a downtown hotel early
today and was instantly killed. In
falling, the body narrowly missed a
man working in the alley. Tomazin,
who was 70 years old, was relieved Of
parish work July "a. According to
hotel employees the priest acted
strangely since coming here a few
days ago. An inCoherent letter was
found in Tomazins room addressed to
his housekeeper, Miss Martha Nc
Cluskey.
Tomazin's housekeeper who occu-
pied a room in another part of the
hotel said she believed Tomazin
jumped to commit suicide. and that a
beating given him by three parish
toner's before he resigned caused his
dependency.

seems to me that would be the "be-
ginning OF wisdom" These men ought
to know about drains and the defects
in their construction. If they have not
drained water off the farms, they must
have poured some wisdom into the
heads Of farmers who have been as
sessed to pay for them.
Il am intimately acquainted with
one of the drains, having been assess
ed for it's construction, and give it as

my opinion that not an acre OF the

the drain. The only persons benefited
by that drain were the persons who
dug it.
