A TELEPHONE CONTRACT
THE SAFETY BOARD AWARDS 1T TO
THE NEW COMPANY.
Some Special Inducements offered by
Harry II. Gates-Orders to
Union Traction Line.

The New Telephone Company will fur
nish telephone service to the police and
fire departments for 1902. At its meeting
yesterday the Board of Public Safety con-
sidered bids from both the New Company
and the Central Union Telephone Company
and awarded the contract to the former.
The bid of the old company was 81, 153. so
$40 less than that of the New Company
but the board signed for the slightly higher
rate for the reason that Harry B. Gates,
who appeared for the New Company,
agreed to maintain two trunk lines from
the exchange to police headquarters and
three trunk lines to fire headquarters.
The New Company is furnishing the
trunk-line service at the present time, and
ii has been entirely satisfactory, the board
is assured by the electrician. The New
Company agrees also TO put in free of
charge telephones in the homes OF the
board members, the clerk of the board and
other officers of the department. The con-
tract for furnishing receivers and trans
mitters for the Gamewell police and fire
alarm boxes at the rental rate of $3.50 per
year for los boxes and transmitters and
receivers was also awarded to the New
Company. The board also agreed with Mr..
Gates to purche Sc for the city the receivers
and transmltters for s400 and if the pur-
chase is made within six months the sum
to be paid for rental will be applied on the
purchase price.

MeIIen VIII stay In Office.

President G. F. Melen, of the North
ern Pacific, authorizes a plain statement
that he had not resigned and does not
contemplate resigning. The statement by
inference sets at last reports of antag-
onism on the part of James j. HILL and
outlines in concise form what may be
expected in Northern Pacific affairs fol-
lowing the organization of the Northern
Securities Company. Reports that Mr..
Mellen would resign have been periodic
for more than a year. Mr.. Mellen dis
regarded them until last night, when he
dictated the following:
There is no foundation in the statement
recently made in the press that L have
either resigned or that | am contemplate
ing such action. The Northern Pacific is
being operated independently of other rail-
ways now as Ii has been during the time
| have been connected with Ii. and l have
no knowledge of any attempt to change
it's policy or curtail the authority here
tofore intrusted to me.
ITO my mind 1T is extremely unfortunate
both to the railway and public so much
agitation and apprehension are being in
dulged in regarding the Northern Securi-
ties Company and its relation TO this prop
erty. Practically the same parties own
it's stock have for several years and
no more disposition is manifest to-day to
interfere in its policy than during the
whole period of my official connection with
the company.
"AIl questions of legality will be passed
all parties should patiently await it's de-
cision and any attempt meanwhile to
prejudice public opinion is harmful and
TO be deprecated

The transportation Problem.

Iron and Setel says: Precedence over
other conditions in the metal market is
taken by the transportation problem. A
month ago 1t was confidently expected that
by Jan. l the normal efficiency of the car
rers would be restored. To-day that
longed-for condition seems as far distant
The extremely crippled condi-
ton of railway traffic is now generally
accounted for in this way The American
plan of locomotive operation is TO get the
maximum amount of service in the shortest
possible time. That is, locomotive will be
worked twenty-fOur hours a day for ten
years when possible rather than ten hours
a day for eighteen or twenty years, is
done in Europe. For the past six months
or longer railway engines have been worked
to their utmost capacity because of an UNI
precedentedly large volume of freight. 1t
was the anticipation of traffic managers
that the heavy freight movement would
end before the holidays, in previous
years, and that there would then be ample
opportunity for extensive repairs. But
traffic Unexpectedly kept up or increased.
The result is that nearly half the locomo-
tive capacity is crippled. waiting for re-
pairs that cannot be completed in six
months. Consequently the present hauling
capacity of the railroad companies is con-
siderably below normal, with prospects of
only slow improvement. The coke situa-
ton does not mend. II Is worse. The pros
poets are that eight iron furnaces in this
district will be closed by the end of the
week instead of six as a week ago."

LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET
CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY SHOWN
FOR THE YEAR-END SEASON.
Wholesale Grocers Especially Busy
of Grain Are Increasing.

In several lines there was active selling
yesterday, largely due TO retailers filling UP
stocks depleted by the special demand Of
the Christmas season. Especially were the
wholesale grocers very busy. Mondays de-
cline in sugar was looked for and created
little comment, except for the fact that II
was deeper than had been anticipated.
Raws still dull and the demand for re-
fined is light and will be until after New
Years, retail merchants are running
close in stocks until this years business Is
over and bills settled. Coffee is unchanged
but continues firm In tone and is moving
moderately. Navy beans are more plent-
full and prices are easy. Dried fruits or all
kinds. especially California, are hardening
in tendency and are purchased more free
ly. The consumption of canned goods is in
creasing, with no signs of weakening
prices. Choice butter is coming in more
freely. yet all receipts are promptly taken
and there is little surplus at the close of
any week. Cheese rules steady on a mod
crate demand. Eggs are easier and fresh
are In light supply. Tropical fruits, as
usual at the holiday season. are fast
movers, especially oranges and grapes
Poultry is In ample supply but prices are
we'll held. turkeys still being in some de-
mand. Game sells slowly. Many rabbits
are on the market and unless colder wealth
er sets in will sell cheap. The provision
market shows more activity, but at this
season of the year the consumption Is on
considerably, for a few days at least
other markets are without new features.
All the New York refiners yesterday ad-
vanced all grades Of refined sugar 10 points.

Purchase Is Not n Merger.

Justice Lewis. of the Supreme Court of
Minnesota, yesterday reversed the Ramsey
County District Court in the case of the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis Railroad Company
appellant VS.. August T. KOerner. as state
treasurer, respondent The Supreme Court
holds that the purchase of the New Ulm &
Southwestern line by the Minneapolis & St
Louis in 1899 did not constitute a merger
and the Minneapolis * st. Louis is not re-
quired TO pay per cent. tax on it's gross
earnings. The New Ulm * Southwestern
paid per cent. tax for 1897, 1898 and 1899
and claimed the right 10 pay 2 per cent
tax from 1900 to 1906 a road. A T
Koerner. then state treasurer, took the
ground that the purchase of the New JJlm
x Southwestern by the Minnea polls & St
Louis made the former a part OF the sys-
TEN and that the per cent. tax should be
paid on both lines. He accepted the /
per cent on account and brought suit TO
recover the per cent. remaining
