T. Klerstedt, the hydraulic engineer, as
recommended by the special committee on
waterworks.
While the councllmen did not consider
that the repoit of the (Ire and light com
mittee disposed altogether satisfactorily of
the lighting question. It decided to recom
mend to the city council lhat the report
be concurred In and that the committee on
(Ire and light be Instructed to draw up a
contract with the lighting company and
submit the same td the city council at
the earliest possible moment.
In the matter of the employment of Kn
gtneer Klerstedt a tie Vote of 4 for And, 4
against resulted on the motion to recom
mend to the city council thnt the contract
as suggested by the special committee be
approved and entered Into with Mr. Kier-
stsdt. It being a tie, Mayor Macrae de
cided he bad .the right to vote and ac
cordingly voted In favor of the motion
As, however, the recommendation of the
committee of the whole carries with It the
expenditure of $1,00 for the services of Mr.
Klerstedt. the mayor will not have a vot
when the matter comes before the city
council for final action. Mattcra involv
Ing the expenditure of over $f') must be
carried by a' majority vote of the city
council, exclusive of the mayor.
The vote stood last night: Teas, Knud
sen, Olson, Wallace, Tounkerman; nays,
Fleming, Hendrlx, Maloney, Smith.
The discussion on the proposed employ
ment of Engineer Klerstedt to compute
the value of the presebt plant and furnish
an estimate of the cost of a new one waa
started' by Councilman Smith, who ques
tloncd the right of the counuil to take
ll.Oou out of the city funds for such a pur
pose. Air. Smith said he had been advised
by City Auditor McAneney that the lat
ter would refuse to Issue warrant for
this sum for this purpose on the grounds
that no appropriation had been maile for
it at the time the appropriation ordinance
was passed. City Solicitor Kimball gave it
os his opinion that the city, council had
the right to order a warrant drawn on the
general fund for this amount, and with this
this phase of the question was permitted
to drop. , .
Councilman Fleming Injected a new ques
tlon Into the controversy by stating that
he had been Informed by an eminent at
torney that In the event of Judge Mc
Pherson ruling that the water works com
pany's franchise had expired at the be
ginning of this, year, the company would
undoubtedly go Into- the hands of a re
cetver within sixty days following such
decision, and then tbe city would be able
to purchase the plant on much more de
slrnble terms. This being the case, as sug
gested to him by the eminent attorney,
Mr. Fleming said he believed It would do
no harm to wait until Judge Mc Pherson
handed down his decision. He also stated
he waa opposed to expending 11,000 as con
templated at this time.
Councilman Wallace took the stand that
the city council was committed to municipal
ownership and that the' sooner his com
mlttee had ' some basis on which to act
the better. This ban hi only could be ob
tained, he contended, by having figure
from a competent hydraulic engineer.

The Bosrd of Educstlon, at Its reg ilsr
monthly session lsst night, decided lh.t It
could not grant the request of the Janitors
for an Increased wage schedule. While?
he members expressed themselves ss
horoughiy appreciative of the services of
the Janitors, they could not see their way
to change the present scale of salaries.
The report of Principal Thomas relative
o the expenses of the commencement exer
cises showed that 1116.50 had been realised
from the sale of tickets and that the ex
penses had amounted to 1104 65, leaving a
balance on hand of 10.8f. The board de
sired a more detailed statement- and the
principal was requested to furnish it.
The action of President Westerdehl In
granting permission to the Women's Chris
tian Temperance union to occupy one of
the class rooms of the high school build
ing In. which to furnish meals during the
recent county normal Institute, met with
some criticism at the hands of the other
members of the board, who had not been
consulted In the matter., No action, how
ever, waa taken, as the Institute waa a
thlna of the past.

It costs, but
It costs to do things right ; but it is worth all the money we put
into-it all the strain on brain and heart to do what's best for
the American public, and do it first.
Each month we put into our magazine the very best we can get.
We hold nothing back to "help out" the next issue we take
care of that number when its time comes. This is how it works:
We sent Vance Thompson to St. Petersburg to get
the story of the opening of the Russian Duma, expecting
it in time for August;. but, after the July magazine had
been on , the presses a week, the story unexpectedly ar
rived and it made lis sit up. Wc confess that we didn't
know much about the situation in Russia -no more than
, other careful observers but this brilliant fact-story gave
us our first real comprehensive view of what is going on
there: The struggle-to-the-death between the puny Tsar,
strong only in his "divine right," and the dead-in-earnest
representatives of Russia's hundred and forty millions. -
We didn't hesitate a minute or count the costs any
more than we counted consequences before publishing
Iiwvson's attack upon the Big Life-insurance Companies
or Sinclair's exposure of Beef Trust Horrors. We felt
that , you ought to have the real inside facts now rthat
you may fully understand the biggest movement going
on in the world today and the greater events that , will
surely happen.
So we split open the already completed July num
ber, jammed into it the sixteen extra pages (you see their
peculiar numbering) at an extra cost of several thousand
dollars, a lot of night-work, and the chance of coming
out late. '
It wiH be your loss, and ours, if you don't read it.
The July number was a "corker" already hot shot from
Lawson; from Teague on Bucket-Shop Steals; Russell on how, ;
the Japs are outdoing us; and exquisitely pathetic fact-story of - "
Sophie Wright, the saint of New Orleans; the funniest Sea
serpent Story in a dog's age and nine other fiction stories of the
highest order.
With this Duma fact-story, Everybody's is worth twenty-five
cents of anybody's money. To the Tsar, if he heeds its warning,
it is worth his Empire, perhaps his life.
