WESTERN ROADS TO MEET.
Two Interesting Questions VIII
... Come Up for Discus.isn,

CHICAGO, July 31.-A meeting of the
Ch1cagO-St. Paul lines has been called
Tor next Tuesday afternoon. Two i'm
'poftant matters Will come up for con-
sideration, the first being a discussion
or the recent departures from the
agreement reached by the executive Of
ncers Of these roads at a meeting held
in the latter part of June. The talk will
be had in the hope that candid dis
oussiOn Of the situation will remove
some of the troubles Which have exist
ed between the lines. The other mat
ter will be strong effort by the as
ISOLATION lines to get the roads which
are now on the outside to become
members of the association 1t will be
represented to these roads that as long
as they are not members of the aSso-
citation they become objects of suspi-
cion as soon as any irregularity is evil
dent in the rate situation, no matter
whether they are to blame in the mat
ter or not. 1t is we'll known that the
roads which are not members of the
association are very weary of being
held as authors of every irregularitv
that appears in the rate situation, but
how they will feel toward joining the
association remains to be seen.
Private dispatches received in this
city today from Denver are to the eff
feet that T. j. Jeffrey, president Of
the Denver e Rio Grande has been
offered the presidency of the Lake
Shore road and that he will accept.
The roads of the Western. Passenger
association have adopted a new plan
for the handling of excursion tickets,
and its use has been so satisfactory
that they will keep it up The new
method consists in perforating the
ticket with word wholly unknown
to outsiders as signifying the date upon
which the ticket is executed for the
yNENf lNl,s
every day, the brokers being ignorant
of it, and consequently of the time
limit of the ticket, and are therefore
unwilling to handle them. The plan
was tried in handling the business or
the National Educational association
at it's last convention in Milwaukee,
and was the most satisfactory plan
ever tried by any the roads.

Yesterday, the figures in the appended
table show some startling surprises,
sufficient to convince the leaders, as
we'll as the other candidates, that there
is no sure thing for any particular COM
petitor in the race, that is, at this
stage.
The Great Northern's candidate,
Geo j. DAM, still heads the list
with 1892 votes to his credit. having
received 91S votes yesterday. But his
lead over Mannheimer's representa-
tive, L. K. Newman. has been ma
teriaIy reduced by over 3.100 votes. Mr..
Newman's friends having come to his
assistance with a big bunch of cou-
pons, aggregating 4,09S votes, thereby
swelling his total to 1914, or less than
1900 votes from his formidable rival
The Milton Dairy company's repre-
sentative, Ned Cummings. gained over
800 votes on the Northern Pacific's cam
didate. Henry A. Ekman who now has
81. 300 votes to his credit. YerXa's rep
resentative, Sam Brant, came very
near passing the representative of H.
c. Burbank & Co., Oscar Johnson. who
holds sixth place among the men.
But the biggest surprise of the day
appeared in the WOmen's contest, when
the friend of the Omaha railroads
popular candidate. Maud Gould, nearly
buried the manager of the G. b e's
voting contest beneath an avalanche Of
1907 votes. This lavish contribution
elevated Miss Gould from fourth to
second place, leaving her with 81, 562
votes, within 1907 votes of Schuneman
&, Evans representative, Harriet Finn,
who still retains the lead. Habighorst's
candidate, Theresa Guthunz also poll
ed a substantial vote. that brings her
within speaking distance of the two
leaders.
This closes the third week of the
contest The total number of votes
registered at D. m. yesterday was
81, O63 Beginning today and for the
entire week the coupons will represent
only two votes each. But, while the
value of the cupOns is decreased, they
count as much, but no more, for one
candidate as the other. 1t may seem
a greater task to Overtake the leaders,
but it is not, for, if each coupon still
counted five votes, the leaders would
not possess any less advantage than
they do today.
The contest will close one week fror,
next Saturday night, and during the
last week each coupon will represent
one vote.

EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS REPORT AN
INCREASED DEMAND FOR
LABORTNG MEN.
RAILROADS NEED A NUMBER,
BUT MANY WHO ARE OUT OF WORK
ARE WAITING FOR
HARVEST.
PREFER TO WORK ON THE FARM
Rather Than Go Out ON the Roads
Wages That Are Possible TO Be
Secured.

If the various employment agents in
st. Paul are right, there seems to be
little or no need for any man with two
hands and his health to go hungry for
want of work, in spite of the fact
that up to this time the demand for
harvest workers has not come, and the
employment man will tell you that
good many Of the men who hover
about his door and read his signs for
men are waiting for requests from the
farmers for labor to help get in their
crops. Work is every day refused by
men who are promised from $1.25 to
$1.35 where last year they were glad to
take $1.10 or $1.15 for the same labor,
and that, too, in spite of the assurance
that the work will be for the whole
winter. These employment men expect
the demand for harvest hands will be-
gin this week, although from North Da-
kota the call will probably not be made
until the week following
The demand for men to do railroad
work is heavier than at this time last
year, and is taken as a sign of return
ing prosperity. One Third street en-
ployment man said to a reporter for
actually refused to go out on different
roads at $1.25 a day with the promise of
a steady job through the winter
months, as he supposed, because they
preferred to go into the harvest fields
and live off the farmers. The difficulty
seems to be that these men who refuse
seem to know that if they hold off they
Will be able to demand higher wages
in the harvest field, but at the same
time the railroads offer free fare to
those who go on their lines to railroad
work. There are hundreds of such men
in both st. Paul and Minneapolis, In
addition to the hundreds who have al
ready started for the grain fields in
this state and the Dakotas.
The free fare plan has been aban-
doned by some of the roads, because it
was found that in many cases the men
refused to go to work after they reach
ed their objective point The men who
conduct these bureaus are authority
for the statement that the demand for
honest labor is increasing steadily, and
that the outlook is excellent
The regular harvest fare of IS is re-
funded after the payor has rendered
thirty days service, and this plan has
resulted in securing better class Of
laborers. 1t is the general opinion that
this activity in the labor market is the
harbinger Of better times, and that the
abundant harvest promised, together
with the large field for employment,
may bring the prosperity so long look
ed for. .-'.'. t4'.: ....,..

No PRESIDENT YET
SELECTION OF MIR. WINTERS Sue
CESSOR EXPECTED TO BE MADE
ANY DAY.
UNDERW00D'S NAME AGAIN.
SOME PEOPLE THINK HE MAY
STILL BE ELECTED TO A PO-
SFTION.

Any Chance of His Being Called

The Northern Pacific presidency mat
ter is still in allegiance. no word having
reached st. Paul yesterday from the
East which is in any way definite. 1t
is believed, however, that Mr.. Lamont
will be chosen for the vice presidency.
Additional rumors are abroad one of
them being to the effect that the office
was to be rendered to the executive of
some road entering st. Paul, not the
Great Northern. The name of General
Manager Fred Underwood, OF the 500
line, was mentioned as being a posi-
BILE selection, but as that gentlemen
was absent from Minneapolis yester-
day, even his denial of the possibility of
his leaving the 500 could not be OBJ
tanned. 1t is the opinion of some of
Mr. Underwood's railroad friends, how
ever, that there is no real foundation
for the story
During his absence in the North
there was some talk a few weeks ago
that Traffic Manager Hannaford, of the
Northern Pacific, was to be elevated to
the presidency, but while such step
would undoubtedly create general sat
isfaction in st. Paul. that gentleman

formation touching on the subject, and
said further that he believed no action
would be taken for some little time 10

seem to predict that the selection will
be made very soon, there is no addi-
tional information at hand to bear out
this statement. although the news may
come at any time.
The exact purpose of the gathering
of the Northern Pacific officials in the
West with Mr.. Adams is not known.
although the statement has been made
that it is for the prepare ton of an ex-
haustive report of the condition of the
various Departments of the road, for use

MEETING OF MAYORs.
st. PauI's Executive Thinks 1t Would
Do Good.

A national conference of mayors and
councilmen from all parts of the coun-
try is to be held during the coming
fall, and City Government, the paper
which is fathering the idea is now
engaged in obtaining a consensus of
opinion from all parts of the country
as to where and when the convention
should best beheld, and what business
should properly come before it. The
argument is made that, inasmuch as
the National Municipal league, which
met few years since in Minneapolis,
is composed of clergymen, college pro-
fessors, lawyers and physicians, who
meet and gravely discuss a question
with which most of them are only
slightly familiar, there is no reason
why the men of actual experience in
city government of municipalities
should not discuss questions appertain-
ing to that subject. To this end COM
munications were addressed to the
mayors of every city of any Importance
in the country asking for views on
the proposition. All the answers re-
ceived show that the idea has met with
a warm and hearty Endorsement, and
that city officials are anxious to meet,
for the purpose of interchanging their
practical views and absolute knowl-
edge.
Mayor Doran writes:
Editor City Government
Your esteemed favor of June 26 received,
and replying thereto 1 want first to thank
you for the expressions of opinion that our
so-called reformers ''have shown dsposi-
ton to crfticise and destroy rather than
disposition to devise and construct"
The result of my experience has con-
f1rmed me in the theory that attempts at
ultra-reform bring out aggressive oppos-
ton, to which well-thinking, conservative
people join themselves rather than be classed
among the ''cranks," with the sure result
that the standard of government is lowered
rather than raised. and 1 fully agree with
your Idea of a convention for general inter-
change of opinion and experience by men
who have been confronted with the actual
conditions that relate to municipal govern
ment, and not with its theories.
AS to the best time and place for such
convention. l would. Of course like to have
1t located in some Of our Western cities
ana held during the early fall months, say
September or October, but, having given the
mat matter no previous thought, I am, there
fore. willing to submit to opinions from the
more experienced. Very truly yours

81 EXPENSIVE IMPROVEMENT.
work at the Mouth of the Straits
of Fucca VIII Come High

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, July 81.
Harry Taylor, of the engineer corps
of the United States army, has re
turned from inspecting Neah bay, at
the mouth Of the straits of Fucca,
where the government will make ex-
tensive improvements by constructing
a jetty at the entrance to the harbor
His investigations proved that the
jetty will, instead of being a cheap
job, prove one of the most expensive
OUTLAWS the government ever made in
this section. Such an improve ent
will be of incalculable benefit to Ship
ping, especially to sailing vessels, as
the latter are frequently towed to sea
and on passing outside Cape Flattery
it IS too rough to start on a voyage.
With good harbor at Neah bay such
vessels can wait for weather to settle
without expense of being lowed back
up. the straits twenty-five miles to
safe harbOr.

Rate Association Meeting Results in
Change of Schedules

Representatives of the different railroads.
IN their Minneapolis and st Paul Rate associa-

middle of this week, slashed few schedules
Tor the 500 line. In Wisconsin the Soo last
winter, was charging 4 cents a mile but the
legislature passed a law naming 3 cents as
the limit. The road complied with this but
refused to sell mileage within the state, round
trip tickets or excursion tickets. All clergy
mems permits were withdrawn also. In the
meeting it was found that with the restric-
tons cast around the 3-cent rate the 500
roads would consent to-, and so the rate sheet
was modified to suit the views of the major
lty, and several cuts made IL different sec
uons along the main line. The rates stand
now about where they did before they were
raised two years ago.
