elevator fire They afterward leased
the Monarch elevator, and on account
of the wheat being bought here at that
time on such a cl.se margin, suffered
another loss of S800. Farm machinery
was also added in the year 1905.
On account of the [.severe cetbacks
the Farmers' Exchange was merged
into the Farmers' Association, which
was composed of twelve reponsible
stockholders, who assumed the debts of
the old concern, and ia return got
the notes due, together with the farm
implements.

in this part of the country in former

ivereaty of Lund in 1868, and later
from a theological college, after
which he was ordaianed as a Luthe­
ran priest. He came to the United
States in 1882 and two years after to
Motley, where he resided until a few
years ago. For a number of years be

Curtis Lumber Company and later for
the Morrison Company. At the same
time he was Village Recorder and
Town Clerk.
He was a very prominent Odd Fel­
low, standing high in the work of the
lodge, there being few members batter
versed than he. tie was also a social
member of the Woodmen.
For the past few yeais he has made
his home at Cusbing, having no rela­
tives in this country. He has been

AMID THE TORRENT
Royalton Liveryman Has a
Thrilling Experience
Monday Evening
Jos. Neuman, the Royalton livery­
man, had an experience Met day night
which he will not forget for some
time, says the Journal-Press. The
people of Royalton, fearing that the
bridge would go out, were using
dynamite in blowing the ice up jast
above. Neuman was along the rwrer
bank with a team of horses watch­
ing the work. During this time the
ice went out above and tbe river took
the old river bed and its course en­
circled him entirely. The water was
raging past him and raised about
three teet during the night, so as to
reach the hub of the wagon wheel.
There was no way for escape and he
remained in this position all night.
This morning the waters went down
to a great extent and he made good
his escape. Neuman says that it was
an experience he has never had before.
He expected to be taken away at any
time by the torrent, which was
changing its course periodically. The
hordes were frightened and he was
kept awake all night holding onto
them.

NEW COUNCIL MEETS
Mayor's Message Received
and Appointments
Made
The first meeting of the new council
was held on Tnesday evening. Alder­
men Kiewel, Lane, Bastien, Dewey,
(Germain, Bolander and Enke being
present.
The council was organized by the
election cf Alderman Kiewel as presi­
dent and Alderman Bolander, as vice
president, after which tbe following
message of tbe new mayor was read:
To the Common Council of the
of Little Falls.
City
Gentlemen Your honorable body
has practically the entire management
of the affairs of tbe city, as provided
in the charter, nevertheless in pursu­
ance to custom, I herewith teg to
submit my first official message.
1 am informed that tbe finances of
the citv are in good condition, which
testifies to aa economical management
the past year, and while I hope the
present council will be guided by the
same spirit of economy, yet I do not
deem it for tbe best interests of our
city that progress, development and
necessary public improvements should
be sHcrib'ced to that spirit.
Oar streets should be kept in good
condition, and the alleys thoroughly
cleaned. There is nothing that detracts
so zrmch f»om t-'.ie looks and appear­
ance of a city, as poor streets and fil­
thy alleys. First street, I think,
needs your early attention and I re­
commend that it be paved or maca­
damized irom (first avenne north to
First avenue south the coming sum­
mer.
I think the city has not sufficient
police protection, especially at night.
One policeman is not enough^ safe­
guard the city from 1 o'clock in the
morning until daylight. This is the
time almost all fires start and rob­
beries are committed. Therefore, I re­
commend the appointment of one ad­
ditional night patrolman.
Oar city has not progressed as rapidly
the past few years as we anticipated.
This probably was the fault of none,
but due to general conditions. I hope,
however, that every effort will be put
forth by the douncil and the citizens
in tbe future, and that they will
exercise the greatest zeal and diligence
to make our city what it should be,
tbe metropolis of central Minnesota,
and in this work I promise my best
efforts and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
Geo. F. Moeglein,
April 2, 1907. Mayor.
The appointments were then taken
up, the first one beine for city attor­
ney. Before a ballot was taken Donat
T-ettel announced that he was not a
candidate for re-election. A ballot
was then tasen, L. W Vasaly receiv­
ing four votes a^d E. Adams three.
L. W. Vasaly was then declared elect­
ed.
Before a street commissioner was
voted on Alderman newey offered a
resolution to the effect that the street
commissioner should receive $8 per
day with team, and that all small
work should be done by the commis­
sioner. The point was raised in this
connection that according to the
charter tnis was improper, as the
charter specifies that the street com­
missioner cannot collect for work of
teams owned by him. The resolution
was laid on the table for the time be­
ing. Chas. Lafond was then elected
street commissioner without opposi­
tion.
M. J. Coleman was re-elected as
janitor and Andy Fenn as city engi­
neer. W. H. Ryan, John Wetzel and
H. A. Nelson were re-appolnted as
members cf the board of public
works.
Dr. N. Dumont was re-appointed
health .officer without opposition and
J. J. Gross and Ernest Kaestner were
appointed as members of the board of
health.
The police appointed were the same
as stated in ln&t week's issue: Tom
Gannon, chief Wm. Bang and Bob­
by L?blanc, patrol man.
The salaries of tne mayor, alder­
men and members of public works
were fixed at $1 per year, city clerk at
$600, city attorney at 1350. assessor
at $ 300, janitor at $50 per month and
street commissioner at $2.50 per day.
Men working on the streets will be
allowed $1.65 per day, and men witta
teams $3.50 per day.
The cbief of police salary was
placed at $60 per month and that of
the patrolman at $55 per month, the
same as last year. The policeman at
the railroad crossing will be allowed
$10 per month. Ernil Nelson who is
watchman at the yards, was also ap­
pointed, but receives his compensa­
tion from the railroad company.
Dr. Millspaueh appeared before the
hew council ^in—theJnterests of the
Morrison county Medical society,
asking that one of their members
Dr. Ihimont be re-appointed as health
officer, and also bronght up the same
matter as last year, that of abolish­
ing the office of citv physician but
as the term of tbe city physician
does not expire until some time in
May, nothing was done in this con­
nection.
Mayor Moeglein spoke on the needs
of an additional policeman, stating
that one policeman at night was not
enough to safeguard the interests of
the city and its citizens. The fourth
policeman proposition will probably
be taken up later.
Tbe salary of the health officer was
fixed at $100 per year aud that of
members ot the boaixl at $25.
The clerk was instructed to draw
warrants for tbe regular pay roll and
to advertise for bids for printing.
The council adjourned to Wednesday
evening.
.-At the meeting Ueunesday evening,
the clerk was authorised to advertise

will become vice president, in place

of tie New York Mills bank, and R.
W. Kleven will continue to preside
over the destinies of] the Sebeka bank.
The First National bank, of Wadena,

surplus fund of $35,000. The banks
at New York Mills and Sebeka have
each a capital of $10,000 and surplus
funds of $5,000. The First National
