I OF OFFICERS DEMNED SAYS AGENT
A number of the members have sug
gested that the name of the club be
changed and this matter will also be
taken up.
A. H. Vernon, secretary of the Confe
mercial Hub, is in receipt of a letter
from the superintendent of the ex­
tension division of this state university.
The substance of the letter concerns
an entertainment course, which the
.extension division proposes to put on
during the winter of 1911-13. It con­
sists of lectures, musical entiertain
meuts, and dramatic entertainments,
or plays, and will include from six to
nine programs. The very best obtain­
able in lectures, mnsicians, and theat­
rical companies will make up the
course, which is much on the order of
a chautauqua lecture course. The
cost will be very small, however, as
all the numbers are free except for
the general expenses. The course will
be known as a "College circuit" and

ident of the state university and Dr.

University of Chieago.
In his letter to Mr. Vernon the
superintendent of the extension divis­
ion asks that the matter be taken up

to assist in arranging the course. Mr.
Vernon will present the letter to the
club at its meeting Monday night.

Mrs. Erickson, have been so active,
that the town seems to have gained
a good lead.

EMS IIIE CITY'S MSIS COHHML ClIIB HEETIKO MUST FIX BP THE COUNTYIIH FOR IHPROKHHIT OfHOSHALS WILL BDJEW DMI KEiMCtt IIT CUIB fl06
Countv Auditor B. Y. McNairy is in
receipt of a letter from D. H. Lind
sey, agent for the state board of con
trol, in reference to the county jail,
following a report to the board of con­
trol by the state inspector.
In his letter to the county auditor
the. agent states that the system of
ventilation and lighting in the local
jail is very poor. He also calls the
attention of the auditor to the fact
th,at there is but one room in the jail
and no provisions for the keeping of
women and boys. According to the
statutes lockups of any plan must
contain two rooms. According to the
agent the jail comes within the mean­
ing of the name "lockup."
The statute also requires that there
shall be as much segregation as pos­
sible, that is, that the cells be separat­
ed from each other. The agent in his
letter stated that there is none such
in the local jail and that persons
charged with murder have to be con­
fined in the same room with witness­
es in the ease.
I'nless the county jail is put into
shape as desired, by the board they
will take the necessary steps to have
it condemned. The letter will be pre­
sented to the county commissioners for
action at their next monthlv meeting.

UP
MATTER TO THE
CITY COUNCIL
The city of Little Falls is to -be
given another opportunity of getting a
gas plant. City clerk Victor Schal
lern is in receipt of a letter from P.
J. Suit, president of the Columbus Gas
Construction company of Milwaukee,
Wis., containing an application for the
granting of a gas franchise for a gas
plant to be installed here by the com­
pany.
In his letter to the city clerk and
the council Mr. Suit states that if the
application is granted the company
would immediately organize a gas
company and have a gas franchise as­
signed to it, also real estate purchas­
ed and all necessary machinery and
equipment for a gas plant sufficient
in size to manufacture at least 80,
000 feet of 600 B. T. U. gas per day,
carrying no less than 16-candle power.
A franchise of Mr. Suit's own making
was sent, for inspection ana signing.
He said that he would expect to have
the installation entirely completed
within the next summer, providing the
council would give the franchise an
early consideration.
Mr. Suit refers the company to G.
F. Kirscher of this city, with whom
he has corresponded. It is expected
that the matter will be taken up at
the next regular meeting of the coun­
cil.
Miss Rose Smith, who is employed
in Brainerd, is in the city for a visit
with her parents.

CHANGES PROPOSED BY STATE
BOARD WOULD AFFECT THE
STUDENTS AND TEACHERS
A number of changes in the rules
relating to the admission of students
to the normal schools of the state will
be made in the near future, if the
plans of the state high school board
are accepted. The new rules would
also apply to the qualification of train­
ing instructors in the normals. M. E.
Barnes, superintendent of the schools
of this county, has received a cir­
cular announcing the proposed changes
from the state superintendent of
schools, C. G. Schulz. The object of
the changes is to place the schools on
a much higher plane, educationally.

cular, jregarding the requirements of
students and instructors, as proposed:

WATER POWER COMPANY TO
CONSTRUCT CONCRETE DAM
AND NEW POWER STATION
new dam will be below the present
one, in order to be in line with the
sluiceway. At its east end it will touch
the old dam. The estimated cost of
building the new concrete dam is $65,
000 to $70,000. About $4,000 will have
to be expended for the purchase and
hauling of stone.
Extensive improvements are con­
templated by the Water Power com­
pany of this ci.,ty for the next two
years. The coming summer a new con­
crete dam will be erected at the site 4" o'clock and the program start

The east wing of the new dam will
be built with sluice gates and spill­
ways, all of which will be adjustable.
This will greatly reduce the amount of
concrete but it is expected that the
construction of the East wing will re­
quire at least 1,000 cords of stone.
If the east wing of the dam is rebuilt
next summer the west wing will be
built in 1915. It is also planned to
erect a uew power station in 1015.
The object of erecting the new dam is
to overcome the leakage which is now
experienced and to increase the wat­
er head.
John L. McCague of Omaha, Neb.,
president of the company, and Frank
H. Parsons of New York City, vice
president, were in the city the first
of the week to examine the grounds
and to make preparations for the
work. R. D. Thomas or Minneapolis,
an engineer who it is expected will
have charge of the work, was in the
city Sunday and looked over the pro­
position. J. G. Callahan of Minneap­
olis, a construction foreman, was also
here on Sunday to look over the ter­
ritory surrounding the dam to arrange
for the securing of material.
NAY GET ELK FOR PINE PARK
COST WOULD Bi. ABOUT $150 BUT
WOULD MAKE FINE ADDI­
TION TO PARK EXHIBIT
Following the announcement by the
management of the Yellowstone Na­
tional park that a number of elk, deer,
buffalo, beaver and other animals
which are in the park will be dis
ga^fftedr"tbmugiwmt the United' States^
in places where they will be taken
care of, Val E. Kasparek of this city
wrote to the superintendent at the
park, regarding the possibility of get­
ting two elk for the local park. Mr.
Kasparek will apply to the council
for their approval of the proposition,
and will then try to- raise the neces­
sary amount among the local people,
About $150 will be necessary to pay
for the crating and shipping or the
ianimals. Following is the letter to
Mr. Kasparek from the superintendent
of the park board:
"Replying to your letter of the 7th
instant, you are informed that surplus
animals are sometimes given to eity
parks. These animals are not tame
ones, however, but have to oe cap­
tured. It has usually cost $15 per head
to catch and crate for shipment, the
elk calves or yearlings, crated in pairs.
This includes delivery on the express
car. They can only be captured in
winter, and as our winter has thus far
been quite open and mild, it has been
impracticable up to date to make any
captures. Bad weather is anticipated
soon, however, and it is likely that you
can get them before March 1.
It you want these elk, please make
application at yoar earliest conven-

ience, directly to the secretary of the
interior, Washington, D. C., as all
authority for such captures must come
from him, and possibly there may be
sotne good reason why he will not ap­
prove it. If you secure the necessary
authority to get them, we shall be glad
to correspond further with you rela­
tive to shipping them.
Very truly yours,
