“ There are lumber and flouring mills, foundries and machine shops, wood-turning plants, and manufactories of shirts, sewing machines, agricultural implements, toys, patent medicines, woolens, and paper and wood pulp. The government is vested in a mayor chosen every two years and a unicameral council, and in administrative officials nearly all of whom are appointed by the mayor. The city spends annually for maintenance and operation about $306,000. ”
