Minnetonka Yacht Club Plans.

The Minnetonka Yacht club held it's an
nual business meeting in the rooms Of the
Jobbers' association, Minneapolis, last
evening, and voted unanimously to con-
unue In the Inland Lake association. The
club will send boats in both the special
tWenty-foot class and in the one-rater
class to Winnebago next fall, and will
also accept an invitation rendered by the
oconomowoc club to enter boats in a Sc
ries of interlake regattas to be held on
Lac La Belle, opening July "a
Contrary to the general impression.
there will be several additions to the
feet during the coming season, and pros
poets are much brighter than at any time
for some years past. In all probability
at least three new boats will be built for
the spinnaker class, and there will also be
one or more One-raterS.
The White Bear club, although it has
held frequent meetings during the win
ter, will, so far as known. have no new
boats. and local yachtsmen feel that Min
netonka should have an excellent chance
to get her revenge for last seasons de-
feat. The fact that the races will be
sailed on waters unfamiliar alike to the
shippers of both clubs is also looked upon
as a DOint gained

representatives of the various railroads

regarding the delay in getting hive stock
to South st. Paul after it's arrival in
this city. The matter had not been
brought formally before thee railroad
commission. and SO the conference result
ed in nothing definate. III *
Shippers and commission men stated
their case to the commissioners They
said that the delays have not been of re-
cent occurrence. but that theyl'have ex-
tended over period Of years. u-They did
not know the cause Of the DELAYS. but
did know that they often resulted in
serious loss, owing to the fact that stock
would reach the yards tooIolate for the
days market, would have to be held
over and stand a heavy shrinkage,, and
often drop in prices. & ss;ij:
General Manager Flower of the Union
Stock yards, and General u Manager
Bangs. Of Swift & Co., were also present.
and voiced the sentiments of fthe com
mission men and shippers i'm saying that
there was Just cause for complaint In
the way the stock was handled after
reaching st. Paul except so far as the
Omaha and Milwaukee We're concerned.
Ahere was very little delay in handling
stock from these two roads owing to
the fact that trains generally arrived
early, and the stock was delivered to
the Great Western at an early hour.
The railroad men We're all given q
chance to, be. heard. and there. was q
tendency to blame each other, and the
system that was employed In handling
the stock after its arrival. a..
The Great Western representatives
were OF the opinion that the trouble
might be done away with if the stock
could all be delivered to them at q COM
mon point such as West. St Paul +. It
was also suggested that the Great West
ern tracks might be used in making this
delivery. This plan met with the almost
unanimous disapproval of the other lines
OIL the grounds that it was not practical.
and in some cases would be impossible
1t was found Impossible to arrive at
an understanding that was satisfactory
to all concerned, and 1t was finally de-
c1Ged that the commission men and stock
yards officials furnish the railroad com
mission with statement of the arrival
OF all stock, showing the delays for the
next thirty days, and for a longer period

VETOED BY MAYOR.
Appointment OF Commission to Sc
cure Control of Street Railways.

DETROIT, Mich, April 4.-Mayor May
bury tonight vetoed the resolution of the
common council, appointing Gov. Pingree
and two other citizens, commissioners to
purchase and operate the street railways
of Detroit for the city. The mayor insists
- that he favors municipal ownership, but
he alleges that the act empowering the
council to appoint this commission is
void.
The Mcleod act delegates the power of
appointment of the original commits
sicners to the council, but authorizes that
subsequent appointments be made by
the mayor, and confirmed by the coun-
Gil. Mayor Maybury, however. contends
that the law cOnferS power to contract
obligations under it upon the council,
but that any such action of the council
requires sanction by the mayor and in
all cases, is subject to his veto.
After the mayors veto message had
been read it was ordered printed in the
Journal, and laid on the table.
Aid. Beamer, who has been one
of the bitterest opponents of municipal
ownership, stated to the aldermen that
I he had secured legal decision from
good authority that the mayor had no
legal right to veto the resolution. There
will undoubtedly be legal battle over
the veto.

The Northern Pacific is preparing TO
enter into competition for a share of the

season opens. A daily Freight service is
to be established WITH through freight
trains, and local through rates will be

There Is nothing in the story that It
IS movement against the St Paul q
Duluth. We shall make no more fnroad
In their business than in that Of the other
competitors. 1t has long been a query
among the roads why we have not gone
after Duluth-St. Paul business. The
Northern Pacific has excellent terminal
facilities in both cities and we find that
we can give virtually the same freight
service as shorter lines. Freight delivered
to us in Duluth or st. Paul one day Will
be In the other city the next day. The
actual running schedule will be eighteen
hours, which is about six hours longer
than that Of the shorter lines. As the
extra time will be consumed at night the
actual results to the shippers will be
practically the same
The reason for entering this field is
to make use of equipment which lies idle
during the winter months and also to OBJ
Y1ate transferring empty cars between the
two points. The company believes that
the difference In the expense of operating
a longer line will be more than Offset by
the extra use which they will make of
their equipment. During the season when
wheat Is shipped into the Twin Cities the
cars which pile up here can be used in
carrying flour to Duluth needed for west
bound shipments.
We have made arrangements with the
Anchor line, Western Transit, Union
Transit companies and all the rail con-
neetlons for full representation in the
tariffs of rail and water Iines~9s 8

Issued is not known But the fact that

The most likely supposition is that the

Meeting with the Canadian Pacific near
Moose Jaw. The country thus tapped
would be a rich feeder for the 500, and
