COAL GOES UP.
Advance of Fifty Cents a Ton
to Consumers.
Great Scarcity of the Article i'm
the West, and Local Dealers
Can Scarcely Fill Orders.

This is the sixteenth day that the
temperature has fallen below zero since
the present cold spell began, and it has
exhausted coal bins in way that is
startling. Wherever coal is consumed,
the amount burned has been vastly in
creased, and the local dealers have
scarcely been able to fill orders. When
ever a car load is received, it is spread
out among number of consumers. The
shortage this year is in nut coal, where
as last year it was in stove coal, and
next year it may be in some other kind.
The great demand on the dealers, and
the inability to get coal from the east,
has sent the price OF every kind of hard
coal up fifty cents ton. In speaking
of this today, local dealer said:
"a month ago, during the warm
spell, we had 5000 tons on the wharve
and elsewhere, and the demand was so
light that we had almost made up our
minds to sell half of it at cost, in order
To save our ~olV6S. we udV6 HOW SOlu
every ton of that coal and yesterday or
dered 900 tons more at an advance of
% cents over what we have been pay
ing. 1t was the cold weather that did
this. We would not have been able to
get any coal at this time if we had not
been protected by contract for a GER
tain amount that was to have been filled
ninety days ago.
There is scarcity of coal every
where. | doubt whether there are 900
tons of coal on the wharves in Duluth
West Superior and Milwaukee today,
when there ought to be $4,000 tons
there. The eastern dealers throw their
orders aside unless they are obliged to
fill them Everything is cleaned out,
and people who have coal are holding
for higher prices.
Coal is used far more extensively
now than formerly. Why, remember
when the tenders of locomotive engines
were filled full of wood. Now a fireman
can keep his fires going with a whites
shirt on, and the engineer does not have,
to climb out of his cab once in humid
red miles, on the eastern roads. They
burn nothing but coal, the water tanks
/ on the tenders are filled while the trains
are going at full speed, and the engine
is oiled automatically 1t is everything
to economic time If the water tank
is to be filled, the engineer touches
button, and if part of the engine needs
oiling he touches another button"

A GRIDIRON.
Race to the Iowa State Line
Next Spring.
Railroads are Branching Out in All Di.
rections West of MankatO, Seeking
New Territory.

For the benefit of our readers. we
present a map of this section of the
state showing the present lines of rail
road in black lines and proposed extern
sions in dotted lines.
When the snow melts in the spring
three railroads will begin their work Of
gridironing the southern part of the
state and possibly there will be race
between them to see which will reach
the boundary line first. The Minneapo
lis & ST Louis New Ulm extension tc
Omaha will pass through ST James
The Omaha's line, projected by the
Watonwan Valley company, will pass
through Fairmont and the North
Western will build from Sanborn, MINI
to Burt Iowa, connecting two of its
lines. The Omaha lines extension will
end at the boundary.
General Manager Day of the Minnea-
polls & st Louis says that that com
pany intends to be great Northwestern
system and that when the Omaha line
is completed extensions will be built in
othe direc tions.
President Scott, of the Watonwan
Valley Railway company, branch OF
the Northwestern, has telegraphed his
acceptance of the proposition made by
Fairmont business men as an induce
ment to have the road pass through
there The proposition was to give the
road free right of way through the
village and six acres of land for depot
purposes which, it is estimated, will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
Sherburn is after the new line that is
to be built by the Minneapolis & st.
Louis south from New Uim. The
survey is nearly completed and
takes in st James, Sherburn and
Baskerville, Iowa. The business men
of Sherburn held meeting and elected
a committee that will act for the town
in securing the new line.
The preliminary survey of the Min
neapolis & st. Louis railroad south to-
wards Omaha has now been completed
to ST. James and the engineers have re-
turned to New Ulm to make the second
survey and mplete the field notes of
the line to ST. James before proceeding
further.

DEMOCRATS PLANNING.
To Control the Legislature Two Years
Hence-Lind's Row With O'Brien,
Other Items.

ST Paul, Feb. S.-There can be little
doubt that the fusionists are quietly
planning to elect fusion legislature
two wears hence and good deal OF
shrewd political maneuvering may be
expected in nearly every legislative dis
trict in the state The plan will, per-
haps, be first of all to disorganize the
Republican party. They will support
anybody who is against the regular Re-
publican nominee who can have any
hope of being elected. In Republican
strongholds, where there is no hope OF
electing a Democrat or Populist, an in
dependent Republican candidate or
free silver Republican with Fusion en-
dorsement will receive the Democratic
support The object is to get full con-
troll of the state government and if pos
sible to elect a Democratic United
States senator. Any one who has &C.
casion to meet the many ambitious
Democrats who come to the capitol
realize fully how strong the Democrats
feel they are since Linds election. That
appetite of forty years standing is be-
coming more and more apparent and
the Republicans who slept during the
last campaign or who voted for Lind
because he was "a good man" had bet
ter wake up.
There is another row in the Demo-
cratic camp which threatens to assume
gigantic proportions Gov. Lind has
removed J. S. O'Brien as a member of
the state prison board and has appoint
ed in his place David Bronson, of Still
water. O'Brien refused to accept his
walking papers and will probably go in
to the courts to test whether the COVER
nor has any right to remove him. Gov.
Lind's side of the story is that OBrien,
who was a candidate for surveyor
general of logs and lumber for the Still
water district, had told the governor
that in the event he was not appointed
they could not ''work together" in
managing the affairs of the prison
board. Gov. Lind claims this was i'm
proper and that O'Brien is not fit for
the office. Mr.. O'Brien denies the
charges the governor in toto and is,
according to reports, getting ready to
make matters interesting for. Lind
O'Brien has been gold Democrat so
his standing in the Lind camp is not
very high, but he has many friends who
will back him in his efforts to retain
his place in spite of the governor
Many of Mr.. Linds adherents believe
the governor has acted too hastily and
that he made mistake when he charg-
ed O'Brien with improper motives.
*
A few of Lind's blunders:
Recommending that fee offices should

be placed on salaried basis and omit
ting his own private secretary, whose in
come is about So, 900 per annum.
Recommending that creamery sup
plies should be made at the state prison
when all dairy supplies in. use are pat
ented
Recommending the publishing of text
books at the state reformatory when
there is but one printer in the whole re-
formatory and the scheme otherwise
impractical.
Appointing E. S. Corser, of Mime
apolis, surveyor general of logs and lum-
Der for the Second district.
Sending his appointments for mem
bers of the Normal school board to the
senate and recalling them after they
had been published.

dishonesty of J S. O'Brien and remov-
ing him from the prison board. @

ing and endorsing the Republican ad-
ministration in his acts as governor.
Removing Labor Commissioner
Powers and putting in his place a stone
mason.
Something of sensation was sprung
during the grain investigation one day
recently Two witnesses from Dakota
testified that they knew a farmer who
had been told during the last campaign
that Gov. Clough had instructed the
grain inspection department to giyepoo
grades so as to make votes for Lind. DR..
McLain, a North Dakota farmer and
also member of the Minneapolis board
of trade. had given the farmer referred
to this information. The matter will
be probed to the bottom and persons
named in connection with these charges
will undoubtedly be given an opportu-
nifty to tell what they know.
*x*
The legislative committee appointed
to investigate the charges against the
grain inspection department is hard at
work Thus far nothing has been dis
covered to prove the charges. The last
wheat crop was very uneven and had
been damaged in various ways so as to
make grading somewhat difficult and it
could hardly be expected that farmers
should in every instance be satisfied
with the grad ng In grading wheat
like that produced last year it must
often be matter of individual judg-
ment. In 1894 and 1897, and years
when the wheat crop has been uniform
and of the best quality, there has been
no trouble. 1t has nearly all been No.
1 and there has been little chance for
difference of opinion.
*x*
The Irvine investigation is now prac
tically completed and the committee
will, in a short time, submit it's report
to the legislature AS has been stated
before, the committeeshas found no evi-
dence that reflects upon the prison man
agement The whole trouble seems to

WORK At SPRECKHSV|uE
MANY IMPROVEMENTS ARE BEING
MADE.
The Gauge of the Plantation Railroad
is to be Changed to Conform to the
Kahului Road.

MAUI, May 6.-Among the improve
ments under way at Spreckelsville is
the widening of the gauge of their
railroad, to conform with that of the
Kahului II. Il. Co. This will require
an entire new lot of rolling stock, en-
gines and all, but will be less expcn.
sive TO manipulate and maintain. The
company have already disposed of ole
or two of their present locomotives.
and hope to be able to sell them all.
When all the improvements conteln-
plated are completed Spreckelsville
should be second Eva and will sure
ly be one of the finest sugar estates of
the Islands. The pumping plants
have worked wonder on the face of the
Island, to large extend eradicating
the immense clouds of red dust that
were wont to spread out over Maalaea,
and render life in that section a bur-
den. The new pumping station adj
joining Paia is progressing rapidly,
the large buildings being completed,
and much machinery on hand.
With the expansion of Spreckels-
vile and the completion of Kihei. the
famous red dust clouds will be thing
of the past.

quence nearly every one is dreaming,

Your correspondent visited most of
them hereabouts to study the effect of
the boom and to see what they were
doing. The men as a rule stood about
with hands in their pockets, iingling
imaginary coin, and while they were
not singing hang up the shovel and
the hoe" they looked it. Those inn
plements have been cleaned, tucked
away and are for sale. They have quit
work and are resting from their lab
ors, for down i'm their considerable
hearts they are fearful lest any efforts
they may make would be detrimental
to the land. Others, considerate i'm
another way, are selling and removing
portables so they will not be i'm the
way of the incoming owner. The wo-
men folks were busy fashioning bon
nets and gowns. for what has hereto
fore been proper in Pahoa would be
sadly out of place on Market street.
