We INTERESTING MEETIHG OF THE GITY COUNGIL The Care of The Poor Discussed at Length: Committee Appointed to Wait on County Board. The regular meeting of the council was held last evening and after the reading of the minutes of the last meeting and the allow- ance of the usual bills the matter of the taking ' care ' of the poor was discussed at length. A committee of the county board consisting of Wes. Wright, J. H. Wagner and.F. O. Sibley were at the meeting and explain- ed the position of the county regarding. the same, and City Attorney Russell discussed at length the law regarding the care of the poor, At the conclusion of the dis- cussion the council passed a reso- lution recommending that the care of the poor be left to the county and also asked of the county that it reimburse the city to the extent of the amount paid by the city the past year for tem- porary aid and relief to the poor. From the figures presented to the council the city’s share of the county poor tax last year was $2, 400 and the tax this year will be $2000, or about one third the amount raised for the support of the poor of the entire county. The commissioner’s thought not expressing themselves were favorable to this proposition, and J|if this can be legally done, and the city authorities leave - the care of the poor to the county, no doubt will adopt this system. Under the present system the city is taxed a litfle over $2,000 as a county poor tax and are also taxed for, the care of the city poor. v “"The ordinance provxd‘hv for have been selling them tire line of embroider- ies and laces will be on our bargain counter at about half off from reg- ular price, Handkerchiefs 25 dozen ladies hem- stitched and embroider- en handkerchiefs, regu- }3 25? value, 2 256 Winter Coats Our line of ladies and misses coats will be on sale at 1-3 off from the at $2.50 per suit; to close them out we will sell them at, each garment = 1933 usual low prices, Outing Goods One lot fancy stripe and check outing goods, val- at 10¢, during sale 7ec.

Fiynn, the dean of the conductors running on the Du- luth-Cass Lake G. N. division, aided and abetted by George Stein, cashier of the G. N. at Cass Lake, has organized a *‘Dick Smith club” at Cass Lake with abouat thirty cha.rtex" members. The object of the club is to do away with the pernicious habit of treating, -and now when a member wishes for: a cigar or something more exhilirating it is up to him to step up to the at tendant ‘and call for what he | wants and pay for it regardless of the number of his friends who may be standing around. A pen- alty is imposed for violation of the rules of the club, and while the ordeal has been a severe one for a number of the members of the club during the weelk, itis anticipated that as soon as they become more accustomed to the new order of things the system will be found to be a most satis- factory one, The expression ‘‘Here’s ho” has been heard but seldom the past few days. And it is said that the receipts from the Hotel Endion har have decreased about 334 per cent daily since Flynn and Stein got their ‘“club” in good working order, and that Sam Sutor, land- lord at the Ediop, is thinking seriously of applying for an in- junction against the members of the club.
