ST. PAUL. Mimi, May 26.-The engineers
will carry ''scab' coal. The relation Of the
coal miners strike to the members of GER
tain divisions of the Brotherhood Of Loco

vassed by the convention to-day, the re-
suit being an order advising those engineers
who have been threatened by the strikers
for carrying "scab' coal to obey the law.
That, in view of the circumstances and the
reciprocal contracts made with all railroads
prior TO the strike, seemed to be the SIM
plest solution of the difficulty, for obedience
to law will figure as prerequisite and re-
lieve the engineers of responsibility.

nois Central freight train was bowling
along toward Chicago last night at 10
o'clock it suddenly came in collision with
an obstruction at the Oglesby incline, just

trucks of the locomotive they were fired
upon from neighboring forests. 1t was

RECLAIlfING LANDS
In the Wilds Of Montana for Set
tiers.


z. T. Burton, of the Montana Land
and Water company, starts tonight from
here with party of capitalists and
farmers for the West. The company of
which Mr.. Burton is member has conf
pieted large irrigation works in Teton
county of that state, and is now direct
ing its efforts to have the lands of that
region settled up. Two years ago,
through the efforts of the Burtons and
other citizens, the present county of
Teton was created out of large area of
ChOteau county, and since that time
railroad facilities have been given the
people by the extension of the Great
Northern and the completion of the
Great Falls & Canadian railway. A
large tract OF government lands is still
open for settlement. while the company
itself has acquired title to considera
bic portion of fertile land that is sold to
settlers On easy terms.
At the present time there is strong
movement of people from Ohio, Indiana
and even the New England states, who
have come to realize the fact that they
are better off to cultivate piece OF pro-
ductlvo land than to Starve with their
families IN the dull and overcrowded
cities in the East.
An interesting feature Of the COM
pany's work forEthis year Is the estab-
lishment of an experiment farm on
large scale, the purpose of which is to
test the adaptability of the soil of Mon
tana to the various grains and seeds that
are raised in other portions of the
country. In this movement they are
aided by several st. Paul people.
The wide-awake business men of st.
Paul will not be slow to recognize the
Importance of this movement or to take
hold of the question OF securing the
trade for this city.
