TO BE A TRADE FEEDER.
Building of the minneapolis and
Ashland Railroad.

There is a probability, says the CONNER
ciaI Bulletin, that next year will give to
Minneapolis another trade feeder in the Min
neapolis ST. Paul & Ashland railroad. This
line is now being constructed between Mime
apolis, st. Paul & Ashland, Wis, and an i'm
portant trade era will be opened to this city
If the road is completed The road will be 160
miles in length. 1t will run through timber
country and is intended to open a new sec
ton to settlement, as there are few towns on
the line The grading is now finished for sew
eral miles south OF Ashland. Rails are being
distributed for track laying for part Of this
distance.
There are intimations that this will be a
very important line and that for some pur-
pose it has the backing Of the Standard Oil
company. The company has purchased for its
lake terminus the most valuable dock property
in Ashland, that of the Shores Lumber COM
pany whose mill was destroyed by fire. The
purchase price was S75, 000, and on it the COM
pany will erect a coal dock and dock for
loading onto boats the deal also involving
it IS said, the establishment of line of boats
to run between Cleveland and Ashland. In
the purchase of this site the Ohio Coal COM
pany figured prominently, and through this
corporation comes the money which is build
ing the road to Minneapolis, the Standard Oil
men being interested as individuals through
the Ohio Coal company.

BOSTON STRIKE BUNGLED.
Street Car Men Say They Were sold
Ont.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 26.-There Is
much indignation among the street
railway conductors and motormen who
participated in the recent tie-up of the
west end street railway over the man
ner In which the officials Of the road
nave discharged the men who were re-
quested to take out cars on Thursday.
According to union officials every mem
Der of the conference committee, every
O11cer In the union, and 800 of the
rank and file, have been refused rein
statement, and many more dismissals
are expected before the end is reached.
so great has the Indignation become,
that public mass meeting has been
called for Monday night in Faneuil
hall, to which number of prominent
clergymen, college professors and bust
ness men have been invited. A special
invitation was sent this evening by
President Young to President Little. of
the road, to give his version of the con-
troversy, which. will be answered bv
President Young.
The headquarters of the union have
been filled all day with a crowd of
angry men who, smarting under the
defeat they have sustained and the loss
OF employment, have made accusations
of selling OUT and ''treaehery.s
against the leaders, denouncfiig all the
union officials for the manner In
which the strike has been handled.
The men say they are practically at
the mercy of President Little and his
officials and that there is slight hope
of their reinstatement. Many of the
men have large families, and the pros
pect of being out of work in mid win
ter Is not cheering.
AT the companys office ON Water
street a line Of between 300 and 400
men can be seen at ali hours of the
day waiting for chance to register
for employment. Among them were
many of the old employees, who, after
waiting five or six hours to reach the
Office, were told, as soon as they gave
their names, that they were not want
ed. Every car was run on schedule
time today.
Among those invited to the meeting
Monday night are:
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, Rev. E.
w. Burr, Rev. A. Albright, Vicar Cen
eral Byrnes, Rev. Father Scully, Dean
Hodges, Gen. Francis A. Walker.
Mayor Josiah Quincy, Edward Atkin-
son, Thomas Wentworth Higginson.

ployment to labor. He-read a state
ment of the comparative days Of work
done by the laborers of his district In
1892 the total number was 1853 and in
1896 only 34.176.
The question Of preserving the Ameri-
can forests was mentioned by Mr. Nc
Knight, and incidentally he Fecalled the
contest in the ways aad means COM
mittee concerning that feature. He
argued that the preservation Of the
forests was not practicable. Mr.. Shev-
liz did not think tf1et exhausting of
the forests likely to cause grave
alarm, as he believed there was more
lumber today than when he was a
boy. The supply In sthe south and
about Puget sound was. almost mex
haustible. The present low price in
lumber, he explained TO Mfr. Tawney
as being due to the present low duties
and depression in business
Mr.. Morris responded to the call Of
the chair for an address He intended
to be present at the public meeting of
the ways and means committee, forti-
fed by the result of Of the; meeting of
the lumbermen Of the Sixth district
He submitted a brief statement of the
schedules of wages paid in Canada and
the United States, which was largely
in favor of the latter, in fact nearly
so per cent. Then there was a differ
ence in the crown charge for cut lum-
Der. 1t was sold in tracts and bid for
at a normal sum. BY the payment of
a small sum 1t was held from year to
year. Here the price is So per 1 900
He thought it was necessary to have a
rate of duty which would equalize the
price between the two countries. He
thought that this country should retain
control OF it's own business The in
terests of this country were coincidenr
with Duluth. He considered the opera
ton of the Michigan lumbermen was
necessary and thought logs should be
allowed in free to get the assistance
OF the lumbermen of that state.
Before adjourning the decision was
made to draw UP for effective and
desirable uses preamble setting forth
the effect of the reduction of duty and
the necessity for increase andea series
OF resolutions embedding as much of the
data and information as possible to be
submitted to the house committee on
ways and means and to be presented
by Messrs. Walker, Irwin and Me-
Knight who had been in attendance
at the Cincinnati conference and were
to attend as representatives Of that
body.
At the conclusion of the conference a
short session of the executive commit
tee of the Mississippi Valley Lumber

A gocd-sized audience attracted to the
rink Of the Flour City Curling Club at
Fourth avenue south and Eleventh street,
yesterday afternoon, to witness contest be-
tween the base bail men and representatives
from the daily papers. When Walter VIII
MOI walked out on the ice. he remarked that
it would be something like playing Grand
Rapids, but he realized his mistake before
the first end was played On account of
the ipexperience of the players, each side
was given a skip who knew something about
the game, but the amateurs surprised the
spectators by their fast playing.
To make a long story short, the intensely
interesting contest ended with the score OF 8
to 8 in favor OF the newspaper men. They
scored three points on the first head, and
were never reached after that. Walter Will
mot proved to be. the surprise OF the day, as
he played some fine stones, and with little
training will become an expert player. The

When nursing the sick 1t is a great
to you the treatment of the case, for it
is not well in many cases to trust to
ones memory only. Again, in a seri-
Gus case of illness, a diet Sheet
should be kept. stating at what time
precisely food and medicine should be
given; also, If possible, mentioning tea,
milk. etc.
Oil in a lamp should not be allowed
to get down to less than one-half the
depth of the reservoir. The wick
should be soft and completely fill the
space for it, but neither suddenly cool
ed nor exposed to the draught. In ex-
tinguishing the flame the wick should
first be turned far down, and then a
sharp. quick puff blown across and not
straight down upon the fame.
Wooden blankets should be washed in
warm water after having been soaked
for an hour in lukewarm water, in
which one and one-half tablespoonful
of ammonia are added to each pailful
of water Pound gently when washing,
but do not rub. Rinse three times in
clean water.
