Tho campaign for city offices at the spring election can be said to have startefl, as Dr. G M. A. Fortier has an-nouneeti his candidacy for mayor, and Frank Hllenbec,ker has filed for city as­sessor.

The Sector, who makes an announce­ment in another column, is an old resi­dent of Iiittle Falls,1 having been a member •£ the first council of the city and is interested in the upbuilding of the community. Ho was reluctant as to be­coming a candidate, *>ut on account of pressors from numerous citizens of our city, tad consented to file. His platform of law enforcement and a square deal is plain 9mA to the point.

Aa to tke offices of aldermen, the pres­ent tatttuabents have given nothing out exodfrt Alderman Loucks, who states that fee will not again be a candidate. The wwnd ward has no representation in th6 council at present, so there will be tw» to select. A couple of lousiness men are considering filing, but have not yet t*mer decided.

SMAfJL ATTENDANCE AT LECTURE The lecture delivered by Edward M.

T-ehaerts at the high school auditorium Wednesday evening was a great disap­pointment to those in charge, the attend­ance feeing so small that the expenses of the speaker were not even covered. The small attendance is attributed in part to the fact that a number of other social evente took place that evening.

Mr. Lehnerts is an able lecturer and his talk, which lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes, was very Interesting. Me spoke on the subject "The Resources of Minnesota." He took up the location of Minnesota as being in the central part of North America. The climatic condi­tions of the state are the most favorable for Dm development of the human race, he aOM.

The resources of the state were ex-cetteAMy portrayed by fhe speaker. Agri­culture, mining and timber resources are the Btwce of wealth in this state, he saM. A number of views, showing the in­dustries of the state, were shown.

RELIEF, ASSOCIAITION TO FURNISH SPEAKERS AND BIG FEED NEXT

WEDNESDAY EVENING.

DURING PAST WEEK. EXTEND POLE ORDINANCE TWO YEARS

-GRANT LIQUOR LICENSES

Members of the lire department in this city will be tendered a big complimen­tary banquet at the Maurin hall next Thursday evening, beginning at about 9 o'clock. Every year an affair of this kind has been held but has generally been given by the fire department. This time the banquet will be furnished en­tirely by the relief association, and will be the first one ever given by them in this city.

The committee in charge of entertain­ment states that the fire fighters will be given the very best to be had in talks from local speakers. As far as the feed is concerned, there is no doubt but that it will be better than any ever given here, and this stands to reason as the arrangements for the "eats" have been left to the members of Hose companies 3 and 4, in which there are a number of big eaters.

All the members of the fire department are expected to attend. The city officials are invited to be present. No charges will be made fo^ any part of the banquet, but nevertheless the committee in charge of the feed have given the assurance that there will be no lack of good things to satisfy the inner man.

The city council met in regular ad­journed session Thursday evening of last week, with Alderman Hall, Peterson, Carlson, Loucks, Parshall and LaFond present.

John J. Reh was granted a license to sell intoxicating .liquor in the building formerly occupied by the A. B. Trebia-towski saloon on the West side. His bonds with a surety company were ap« proved.

The regular monthly bills of the Water Power company for street lighting, in­candescent lighting, hydrant rental and repairs, amounting in all to $859.50, were allowed. *

The ordinance requiring the removal of all telephone, telegraph and electric light poles and signs and standards from the main streets of the city, was brought up for discussion. Fred Speechly, district commercial manager for the N. W. Tel. Ex. company, was present and renewed the offer to split the difference on the life of the telephone company's poles and have them removed from the wh.ie way streets within five years, and to have> them painted any suitable color

Word has reached here of the serious illness of Mrs. Mary E. Butler, who is spending the winter months with rela­tives at Sycamore, 111. Wm. A. Butler, Whq represents a Minneapolis printing

-concern; while at Coleralne received a tefegfpph message conveying the news <tf his mother'8 Illness, and immediately left for her bedside. Late reports state that she is much Improved.

4fL A. Carlson, senior member of the grin of Carlson Bros., who operate a grocery store on Broadway east, has taken a position as traveling salesman tot the Spaulding & Merrick Tobacco company. He started out on ws new work Monday. ' His territory will take in towns 'south of .this city iuid St. Cloud. Fred Carlson, his brother, who has been cn the rdad far some time, is now man­aging the store*

Carl Biemert, living near Gravelville, on Saturday sold to T. J. Mathieson, a local shipper, 58 late spring hogs, for which he' received $1,000. This is said to be the largest sum ever received for one bunch of hogs in the county. Mr. Bie­mert last year sold $1,000 worth of hogs, but they were disposed of in two lots. In June he expects to put $500 worth of hogs more on the market. A couple of cows were also in the shipment for which Mr. Biemert realised $100.

Mr. Biemert is. a believer in the raising of porkers, as he figures that he can get a great deal more out of his corn and grains by feeding to hogs than he can otherwise. The last bunch of hogs were not raised under the best conditions, but Mr. Biemert is profiting greatly from each year's experience.

He accompanied Mr. Mathieson to the South St. Paul stock yards, and saw good matured steers from North Dakota weighing from 1300 to 1600 pounds selling as high as eight cents a pound. He be­lieves what can be done in North Da­kota, can certainly be done In this coun­ty, which seems more than reasonable.

TUCKER POSTMASTER AT FORT . RIPLEY

J. J. Tucker has been appointed post­master at Ft. Ripley and .has already taken tip his new . duties. He has served as comjnis8ioner on the county board of Crow Wifag county but resigned at the last meeting., . ....

Another adjourned meeting of the council was held Monday evening, with all members present. An application for transfer of the Leo Wirwicki liquor li­cense to R. L. Palmer was unanimously granted. Another application for trans­fer of the Eugene Pilon liquor license to Leo Wirwicki was also granted. All ex­cept Kaliher voted for this license. Rev. Harris expressed himself as being against granting the transfer of license from Pilon to Wirwicki, giving as his reasons that the north side of Broadway was practically free from saloons and that no more should be allowed.

The gas committee was granted more time in which to investigate the gas franchise proposition.

The council voted to furnish the West­ern Reserve University of Cleveland, O., with a copy of the city charter and to charge them 50 cents for it.

T. H. Dewey was allowed five loads of old sidewalk planks, the street commit­tee to fix the price.

Alderman Kaliher brought up a new pole ordinance, which was practically the same as the first one, with the ex­ception that the amendments of the first ordinance and a section requiring the removal pf .eleetric lightpotes, out the ctty were included.

Ceo. Gordon, representing the Water Power company, stated that the addi­tional section of the proposed ordinance, requiring the removal of electric light poles from the streets, would mean that the company would have to run all their wiring underground. This part was therefore stricken out.

Fred Speechly for the telephone com­pany asked that the ordinance be amended to read that the poles must be removed by September 1, 1*19, instead of Jan. 1, 1919. Through some misunder­standing the father of the ordinanee had dated it Jan. 1, 1919, thinking that the telephone company wanted five years from now in which to remove the poles, and not five years from the date of the first ordinance. With this and several other minor changes the ordinance was given its first reading and was carried unanimously. The street committee was Instructed to decide on the color which would be most suitable for the old tele­phone poles, which the company agrees to paint. A written agreement by the company, to conform with the pole or­dinance has also been promised the council by 'Mr. Speechly.

The purchasing committee was In­structed to Investigate the matter of tne purchasing of a sprinkler. It Is thought that the work could be done cheaper and better if the city owned the sprinkler. The committee will report at the next meeting.

Alderman Parshall, Peterson and La Fond were appointed a committee to in­vestigate the advisability of this city joining the League of Municipalities, which is connected with the general ex­tension division of the state university.

-The object of this league is to get copies of different forms of charters and other municipal work.

$0 the best Interests of the city and to get them interested. . The banquet will be a six-course affair and plates are $1. Many tickets have already been sold. The dining room will accommodate about 120 people and the committee in charge of the sale of tickets .expect to have every plate sold.

PIERS DEMOCRATS ^AdCUS ON THE POSTOFFICE QUESTION.

At thje instance of F. X. Virnig, demo­cratic chairman of the village of Pierz, & caucus was held Wednesday between the hours of 2 and 6 p. m. in connection <with the selection of a postmaster- at that place.

Charles Gravel Jr. and Jacob Blake are candidates for the position of post-tna8ter of the village, and we understand that Mr. Gravel's recommendation has been forwarded to Washington, but the matter is at present being held up. Mr. Gravel has the endorsement, we under­stand of the democratic county officers and county committeeman and the cau­cus parsed on the proposition of the withdrawal of their endorsements. The iactlon.of the caucus was strongly in fa­vor of the withdrawal, which if carried but would leave the matter on endorse­ments to the democrats of Pierz as far aa the. county to concerned.

A. new railroad is to J&e built from Minneapolis, to Mille Lacs lake, the Cuy-una range and eventually to Aitkin, ac­cording to an item in the Minneapolis Journal of last Saturday. The railroad will be an extension of the Minneapolis & Northern, which now operates from Minneapolis to Anoka.

A corporation was recently organized to build the new line, work on which' will be comenced in the near future. Grading has already been done on the right of way to Ogllvie, through which place the railroad will pass. In Kana-beck county the railroad will branch and the west line wil go to Crow Wing and Crosby, where the mines are aready shipping ore. •

Mrs. John Blllsteln Is in a serious con­dition, suffering from a nervous break­down. No hopes are entertained for her recovery. ...

Fire which started in the basement of the St. Paul store, which is owned by the L. 0.-"-Wessell company, damaged the building to the extent of about $1,000 and the stock of dry goods, which is valued at about $35,000, suffered a smoke damage of probably between $10,000 and $15,000. The stock was insured for $25,000. The loss on the building is also covered.

The fire was discovered shortly after 8 o'clock p. m. by Arthur Como, who passed through the alley back of the store. The alarm was immediately turn­ed in and a minute later the fire fighters were on the scene. Their quick response was probably due to some extent to the fact that the members of Hose Co. No. 2 were in session at the city hall when the alarm was turned in.

When the firemen arrived the entire rear end of the basement, which is used for a furnace room, was a mass of flames and it was impossible to enter the building because of the- dense smoke. Water was finally thrown on and the flames subdued. It is thought that the fire started from the overheated pipss leading from the furnace to the chimney catching to the steam pipe covering, the pipes being very close together. The floor of the store was flooded with water in order to keep the fire in the basement. The damage frdm this was slight.

Besides the damages, to the Tanner building, in which the St. Paul store is located, the walls of the post offiqe and •Chrichilles bowling alleys were damaged by smoke and heat. The members of the Masonic lodge were holding a meeting when the fire started and were driven out by the smoke.

The firemen are to complimented upon their work of saving the building and for keeping the damage to the stock by water down to practically nothing. They entered the basement from the front end and two lines' of hose were in readiness there for fear that the flames would make their way through the. partition which separated the furnace room from the storage rooms. Hose company No. 3 was called to the scene but was not used.

MORRISON COUNTY FARMS PAY THE EXPERIENCE OF TORKEL

PETERSON OF PIKE CREEK PROVES IT.

Does farming in Morrison county pay* Torkel Peterson of Pike Creek-says that it does. He bought 80 acres in section 21, Pike Creek, 15 years ago, with prac­tically no capital at all. Besides raising a fine family of boys and educating them, and living well, he has a snug sum in the bank. Believing he had earned a .rest, he has disposed of the place for $4,000, and will have an auction sale the 23rd, which will net him another $1,000. This is only one instance, many others have done even better. Can the salaried man or the laborer in the city as a gen­eral rule do anywhere near as well? W% think not.

Mr. Peterson has bought a home on Broadway west and will move to the city in the spring.
