Special to Tie Journal. Albert Lea, Minn., June 9.The big convention of the U. 0. T. is now his tory and those who attended and added their full share to the enioyment and in terest of the occasion are gradually leav ing the city. The parade this afternoon was an. imposing affair and was wit nessed by thousands of people on the streets and along the line of march. The ball game between St. Paul and Minneapolis clubs drew a large crowd, but the playing was as bad as the average league game, as the score was 22 to 17 in favor of Minneapolis. There were more band concerts this evening and the festivities wound up with a vaudeville entertainment fur- TfCE WOODS T/yTTSOr COT, Won by Austin Council for Largest Percentage of Increase in Membership. nished by Minneapolis talent. The eve- ning-^a^ssed very pleasantlv and praise is heard on all sides for the work of the convention. The grand couneil had an interesting time during the last session discussing the 2 cent-a-mile flat rate, and there was some difference of opinion as to the practicability of demanding that concession by the various railroad com panies operating lines in this -jurisdic tion, but after a thoro consideration it was decided to continue the agitation and include all the territory in this grand jurisdiction, Canada as well as the states. A law compelling hotels to be kept in sanitary condition and also provided with all possible devices and appliances for escape from fire disasters was de manded and the grand council will work to secure proper legislation along those lines. Governor Johnson in his address Fri day night indorsed the hotel lew propo sition and volunteered his active sup port for the proiect as desired by the 1J. C. T. The Traveling Men's Hotel. The co-operative hotel for commer cial travelers, as advocated by H. K. Richardson of Minneapolis, found many friends among the delegates and others attending the convention, and he is hopeful of winning out, altho the time is short for meeting the provisions of options he has secured. In the main Mr. Richardson proposes a fine modern 400-room hotel in Minne- Jess ipolis, the cost of which will be not than $350,000, and he has arranged for the money, but the option expires On the first prox, a date that is getting uncomfortably close at hand, but the work is being pushed as rapidly as possible There are now not far from 200 mem beis of the TJ. C. T. who are friendlv to the scheme, but it requires not less than 400 to carry the project thru as planned by Mr. Richardson and others. It is proposed to go into a building and loan association and float the nec essary stock to secure the funds to carry out the plan. This would mean a monthly payment of $10 on the first thousand dollars of stock and $5 on each subsequent thousand up to $5,000, or a total of $30 per month for $5,000. The proposition is to build a hotel mod ern in all its appointments and call it "The Travelers." Experts, who have given the sub ject consideration, tell Mr. Richardson that after the third year such a hotel will not only pay all the assessments for the building association, as pro- Eut osed, but also a profit on the stock, some of the knights of the grip do not warm up to the proposition as was expected, and the undertaking may die for want of support, but Mr. Richard son says he shall not mourn especially, altho he would very much like to see the project go thru and the hotel be come a reality. Those interested are at liberty to address Mr. Richardson or A. W. Orozier, Minneapolis. Governor Johnson Criticized. Echoes of the address of Governor Johnson and the flyer he took in poli tics are heard here frequently and there are various comments made as to the pro priety or the governor, the result being that a number of the governor's picture buttons which were worn with the offi oial. badge have disappeared, and some feeling has been stirred uJre i over th matn overthe as De ter. Alll express themselves as beingi Al in harmony with the sentiments ex pressed by the governor, but it has giv en a boom to the Jacobson candidacy in Duluth. The resolutions thanked the local council U. C. T. the commercial club of thirty, the citizens, the ladies, Eben E. MeLeod, chairman of the Western Passenger association, and paid a glow ing tribute to Governor Johnson and recommended that the members of the various subordinate councils take up the question of advising of the -juris diction into several grand councils. The grand council also decided to enlarge the name of the -jurisdiction by adding Saskatchewan and Alberta to the former jurisdiction of Minnesota and North and South Dakota and Mani toba. All in all the convention was one of Jhe best ever held and Colonel Dick Woods of Sioux Falls, S. D., who de clared he had attended all the meetings of this character for the past ten years, said this was the best and most suc cessfully carried out of any yet held. Albert Lea extended, cordial'welcome H. X. RICHARDSON, The Hotel Booster, and was glad the visitors came and went awav pleased. The twin citv special will leave over the Bock Island road at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. CAMPBELL SPEAKS Minneapolis Man Is Orator of Evening at New Richland, Speoial to The Journal.
