Influenza Epidemic Here.

Several cases of the flu have de-
veloped here during the past week and
the local doctor is DESTROYS of avoid
ing a serious epidemic, which would
severely handicap community activ-

cause death. He advises, however,
that the best remedy to avoid any
serious results is to go to bed and stay
there, until an attack of illness is
ascertained.

The most common question heard
In the village the last two days is
"How's the road out past your placer"
And invariably the answer is ITS
tough, you can't get through with "a
car" The old sleighs have been put
back into use. And the same old
problem is here again: How to get
the road opened up And if it is
opened up, then comes the problem
OF keeping it open. This is no news,
but it is matter that should be Civ
en- serious thought and consideration.

Meeting Against Contract.

About 20 citizens responded to the
invitation of the village council and
met in the town hall Tuesday evening
to discuss with them and representa-
tives from the Minnesota Power &
Light Co., the desirability of sign
ing a 2O-year contract.
P. V. Colburn, superintendent of
the Cloquet division, from ClOQuet,
and Donald Lightfoot, manager of the
Sandstone division, were present and
presented the proposed contract which
was discussed in considerable detail
section by section. w. ]. Wilkinson
from Cloquet, scheduled to be here,
was delayed by attending another
meeting, but arrived later in the eve
ming.
The majority of those present could
not see where the village could gain
anything by signing such contract
which resulted in the adoption of a
motion recommending that the coun-
Gil do not sign the contract.

Why Not Build
TwOC Canals for
Our Politicians?

Selling bonds TO build another
power system would be as smart as
building another canal alongside
each of the ones we have.
If we had the money and had a
competent organization who under
stood the power business, we might
buy the lines that are already here
As long as we have neither OF
these, the only thing to do is to
sell our power to the company who
has the money and who under
stands the power business.
I am farmer who cannot have
electricity because the Irrigation
District will not permit it, and
do not think it fair for the Dis
trict to keep us without electricity
for years while they fight the Pow
er Company for political reasons.
In my opinion, our only hope is
to defeat the bonds and accept the
Companys Cooperative offer.

plicating the lines and equipment,
such as is proposed by the Irriga-
