Carter, who has | served the city acceptably to the | majority of the citizens of Be- midji during the past year, is a| candidate for re-election and there are many reasons why hs should be given a second term, and these reasons are being ad- vanced by a large portion of those residents of the city who are! property own.rs and who havel the best interests of the city at heart. During his term of office, Mayor Carter has always been a front-rank ‘“booster”” for this | city, and he has never spoken ill of any business man or private citizen of this place, nor has he discouraged the investment of| capital from outside sources or, acted otherwise than an intensely | loyal citizen of his home town. | On the contrary, many of the, good things which have been de-| veloped here can be directly! traced to his untiring efforts and | personal labors. Mr. Carter was the iostigator | summer resort, induced a large number of the residents of that place to buy property on Lake Bemidji and fit the land for summer homes, all of which ac- crues to the benefit of this place. The Northland Produce com- pany was induced to locate in ]bhis city and establish a plant and trade from adjacent territory that is beneficial alike to mer- chants and farmers, through the inducement made by Mr. Carter, He also has done much to pre- serve the gnod name of Bemidji in the outside world, and at all times has a “boost” instead of a “knock” for his fellow citizers and neighbors. Mr. Carter has at all times treated his fellow citizens fairly, from an official and private stand- point, and while he may be criti- cised by a minority that has doubtful intentions, he has *‘matde good” and if re-elected will make an executive official of whom the city need not at any time be ashamed. He deserves re-election and should receive it. If fitness and integrity are wanted in the chief executive of of the establishing of the present the city, Mayor Carter should, Bemidji handle factory and re- mained with that concern until ic was on its feet and doing a zood !

The plaunt consists of one high- speed Lycoming engine, which is directly connected to a 700- light generator, made by the Minneapolis Elecirical Machinery company. There are, at present, seven large arc lights, advantage- ously placed, which give a fine light that rivals the rays of ‘Old Sol’ himself. Many private parties are putting in interior lights, and the number will be greatly increased as fast as the necessary wiring can be done. “The work of installing a first- class waterworks system is pro- gressing nicely, despite the ad- verse weather conditions and other drawbacks, and .tis ex- pected that the system will be in readiness for usein early spring. A large surface will be completed in about ten days to svpply water for the town until such time as a deeper well can be driven. The foundation for the steel tower and tank is completed and the contractors will have the laying of the mains aud erection of the tank and tower completed within the next two menths.
