A Coal Blockade.

A total of $4,000 tons of coal and coke
was forwarded from the Fairmont region
during the past week OF a decrease Of 4,oco
tons of coal and, LOO tons OF coke over The
previous week. The trouble seems TO be
the lack ofpower to move the freight from
there,as the output is limited only to the
ability of the railroads to move the Iodds
The car supply also shows decrease
of 100 cars. There is now in that region
ready for shipment ! 500 eastbound loads
The Monongahela River Railroad is
practically blocked, and the Pittsburg di-

crowded. No orders are being accepted
which give a specified time for the coal tc
be delivered unless there is run of cars
for these particular points.

The condition of the public road at
the crossing OF Big Cabin creek near
the Katy bridge, is matter Of public
interest to Vinita. The road has re-
Gently been changed without any Or
der from the proper authorities, and
in time of high water will be practic-
ally impossible and will therefore
shut out people from town on one of
the most travelled roads leading into
the city. The land on both sides of
the creek has been fenced, and the
wagon road thrown in on the railroad
right Of way. Steps should be taken
to prevent the obstruction Of public
highways before many Of them are
practically closed.

that they had nothing to expect from

VARSITY TEAM IMPROVING.
Minnesota University win This

Minnesota University viii This
Year Have q Heavy Eleven.
A good dealSof interest is being shown
by the students at the university in the
football practices and the team is getting
plenty of encouragement. Several hun
dred persons witnessed the practice last
night. They followed the game, too, and
applauded good plays as much as If a
regular game was in progress. The first
and second teams were lined UP against
one another for a practice game, and the
men were given some good stiff work
The men are putting a lot of spirit into
the game. and are playing very strong
on the offensive At the present time
they are rather weak on the defensive.
Both teams were alike in this respect
and neither was able to hold the other
for downs many times. Aune who was
put on the second team, repeatedly made
good gains through the varsity line, and
.Pattee, the freshman player, who was
one of the freshman players, seemed to
have little difficulty in handling the
varsity center. Corrigan, another new
man, played a fast game at end and
seems to be very promising man.
The varsity back field did first-class
work on line bucking. but was little
slow in defensive work Page and KnowI-
ton were especially strong in advanc ng
man who has been tried at full back this
year, and will very likely play that posi-
ton, although the change may leave the
team weak at center Knowlton is being
played as right half back, and ought to
make a record breaker in that position.
He will probably do the kicking 1t
looks as if Page and KnoWlton have
cinch on their positions, but as yet no
one has been decided upon for the other
half. II here are several oO0d man trXyi.,cr
for the position. Minnesota's back field
providing heavy man is secured for left
half, will be one of the heaviest in the
country. Knowlton and Page are both
big, heavy men, but they are strong and
active and are as speedy as any men in
the college. The work by the back field
VII probably be the feature of Mime
sofas playing this year
The Varsity team will play against the
Minneapolis Central high school team
next Saturday afternoon at Northrop
field
