ing concerns would be started; that old
concerns would make big additions to
their productive power, but the fact is
that capitalists are very timid about
investing largely, or increasing their
investments, in this business. They
think that the extraordinary demand
will not continue. They believe that the
west is enjoying a boom, which is like
ly to collapse, and with it fall the de-
mand for railway equipment OF course
the west is exceedingly prosperous just
now. But I am confident that even if
we should have a bad crop year, and
other misfortune, our prosperity would
continue. Perhaps the people of this
country do not realize what a great ma
ton this is, and what its demand has
grown to be.
Until we get more equipment, the
policy of the Santa Fe will be to refuse
to allow it's cars to get away from it's
own lines, or to go on long hauls and
become involved in blockades such as
the one caused by the Mexican wheat
rush at Ell Paso. We will save III
equipment for needs at home"

E ABOUT $4,000
AT Hoffman House to Over 100
Guests.
Young Women From the Chorus
es a Feature.

New York, Dec. 20.-James Buchanan
Brady, known as Diam JIM" last
night gave a dinner at the Hoffman
House Roof Garden concentrating the
winnings of his horse Gold Heels last
summer to 100 guests.
There were so young women, most of
them from the choruses of the reigning
Broadway attractions, and so men, who
are known wherever horses run, women
smile or wine flows.
They are all folks who know how and
what to eat, and to satisfy their hunger
and their incidental thirst Mr.. Brady is
believed to nave spent $1,000. Every one
had to put on a silk jockey cap of the
Brady colors and a long white apron
on which was embroidered:
First annual dinner of the Marble
head Beefsteak Club"
Then heavy rug portieres were drawn
and a band began to play. The favors
were gold purses for the women and
gold pencil cases for the men. and it is
said that the best dancers among the
women competed for a prize of $3.50 in
gold upon a stage improvised from one
Of the dinner tables.
AT midnight, when the dinner broke
up, there were many loud cries for cabs,
and many of those who cried certainly
needed them.

MICHIGAN TO PLAY NEVADA.
Wolverines Will Engage in q Game
on Christmas Day.

San Francisco, Dec. 20.-According to
a letter received at Stamford university
from Reno. New, the University of
Michigan has challenged Nevada for a
football game to be played in San Fran
cisco on Christmas day. The Michigan
men will arrive from Ann Arbor on the
oath, and a game at that time will get
the men in shape for the contest with
Stanford on New Years day in Pasa-
dena.
Nevada will undoubtedly accept the
challenge and a Francisco will have
an opportunity to see what Michigan
can do Stanford and California each
defeated Nevada II to 0, and Reliance
beat her IL to 0. Nevada won from the
University of Utah Thanksgiving day
by a score of 6 to 0.

COAL FAMINE.
Chicago Is Almost Out of Fuel
i'm Zero Weather.
Railroads Are Confiscating That
Which Comes I'm.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Chicago is facing a
coal famine. and Is degrees below zero
within "a hours is predicted by the
weathe bureau. Throughout the entire
city big consumers of hard and soft
coal are begging shippers to supply
them, but without avail. The severe
weather and floods through the coal
mining districts have tied up railroads
to such an extent that shipment is al
most impossible.
To add to the serious shortage rail-
road companies are exerting their pre-
rogative of c-onfiscating car lois of
coal as fast as they arrive here, and are
putting it to their own use. Large bus
mess houses are suffering severely for
the want of coal and many concerns are
hampered by reaso of insufficient
steam power. Today many owners of
large buildings were besieging coal
dealers and begging that they be sup
piled with sufficient coal to tide over
the zero.
At midnight a number of coal dealers
in the city, reported that there was not
more than 30 hours coal supply in the
city. If relief does not come by that
time there will be much suffering, and
many manufacturing plants will be
forced to close.
The prediction of the weathe bureau
is for a new record in low temperature
for Chicago in the month of December.
At midnight the mercury showed five
above zero, and was falling slowly.

Last Friday evening the Masonic
fraternity of Oakes, consisting of the
Chapter, A. f. e. A. M. and the Eas-
tern Star held a social and christened

chased, Only masons and their i'm
mediate families aud those who took
part III the entertainment to raise
money for the dishes were invited, as
the 4aer is numerous and and the
scapaSity Of the hall limited.
! The social program was held in the
lodge room in the Union Temple
building. The chapter held an open
installation ceremony in their new
uniforms, after which Prof. Eaton de-
liyered a neat address for the good Of
the crder.s. Remarks were also made
by Major Fay and visiting compan-
ions. After this the par Ity was de-
voted to games and recreation
until IL 80, when it. was announced
that supper was ready in the Aca-
deny of Music. Nearly one hundred
people were seated, at once and were
seryed inside otsthirty minutes.
Ne room was tastefully decorated
withsthe emb ems Of the order and in

very attractive appearance set with
the new service of dishes, decorated
with al neat newa border and 3 COM
bined monogram Of the three differ
ent orders. Fred Bittman was the
chief culinary artist of the occasion,
and prepared the meats and oysters.
The ladies OF the Eastern Star and
the other orders furnished the cakes
and salads, and the way it was served
up proved that the 'best was none too
good TO bring.
The evenings entertainment
throughout was highly enjoyed by
all, and everybody went home happy,
hoping at some future time to be able
to celebrate another occasion of the
same kind.

In Hot Water.

When a fellow is said to be in hot
water he is naturally supposed to be
in trouble, but to be in hot water
with no water hot is a worse conGi
ton than the man who was looking
for rroubie and could not tila~it %
The Republican got tired Of trying
to eat room 24x60, II feet high
with stoves, and we decided to put in
hot water. We have changed our
opinion of what we will do, and there
is no water hot yet.
We have seen number Of hot
water plants and admired them, but
until we undertook to put in a plant
did we have an idea there was any
kind OF water that would not run
down hill, but we have found it.
We purchased seven hundred feet
of iron pipe through Mr.. Aasen of the
Oakes Machine company, and engag-
ed Mr., Aasen to do the work of set
ting il up-according to our own
plans plans that were at one time
dearyto our heart, but are now dear to
our purse. Mr.. Aasen said at the
outset that he knew nothing of a hot
water heating plant, as he had never
looked the matter up, but that he
would do the work as directed, and
we could take our chances on it, clrcu-
lating. He did the work, and we
took the chances. The work was
well done, but we are still working
and taking chances. The water won't
ci rculate up hill, down hill, laterally,
vertically, Or any known angle. In
stead of circulating the boiler gener-
