POTATO WAREHOUSE
Alexandria Will Build II and Is Also
After a New Road.

Special to The Journal.
Alexandria, Mimi, April 19.-The mer-
chants of the village who last year put
up grain warehouse and gave Alexandra
an excellent wheat market, have arranged
to build a potato warehouse here the
coming summer. The handling of the
house will be given to w. w. Sheldon,
who has bought potatoes here for year
and cattle and hogs for several years.
He will furnish farmers early Ohio seed.
Alexandria will next year have first
class grain, potato and stock market.
An effort is being made to get new
railroad here this summer which will run
in from the south, connecting with the
500 at GlenWood, and running, eventually,
north to the Lake of the Woods country.
Several meetings have been held to dis
cVss the matter. Alexandria will take
care OF the right of way through the town
and village. A large. meeting was held
in the town of Hudson last night and that
township agreed to secure the right of
way through that town. There will
probably be no trouble in getting the
right OF way from here to Glenwood.
The business men have made up their
minds to have the road and are going
after it in earnest.
Professor J. A. Cranston, for several
years superintendent of the Alexandria
high school, has ben elected to that posi-
tion in the st. Cloud school for next
year. The Alexandria high school will
not only lose Mr.. Cranston, but the prin-
cipal, ), Miss Florence Merton, and Mr.. Me-
Carthy Miss Wheaton, who taught in
the high school this year, has been elected
principal for next year. The other va
cancies have not been filled.

DOUGLAS WILL ACT.
He Wants the Merger Case Remand
ed to State Courts.
WILL WAIVE FEDERAL STATUTES
itate the Question of
Jurisdiction.

EARLY next week Attorney General Doug
las expects to make motion before Judge
LOchren that the merger case be remand
ed to the district court of Ramsey
county. At the same time he may move
to strike out Of the complaint any allie
cation that it is a violation OF the federal
statute.
General Douglas was in consultation
this morning with Senator George P. Will
son, who is associated with him in the
case, and stated after the consultation
that he, would look into the matter very
carefully before deciding definitely upon
procedure.
: The motion to remand will at once bring
up the question Of jurisdiction and when
that is settled the state will push to a
trial. The state expects President j. j.
Hill, of the Northern Securities company,
to renew in the federal court his motion
to vacate the service of summons on the
Northern Securities company, and himself
as president of that company on the same
ground that the motion was made in the
Ramsey county district court, that the
Northern Securities company is not doing
business as a corporation in Minnesota
and has appointed no agent in this state
to accept service. The service on Mr.
Hill as president Of the Northern Sc
curities company will be objected to or
the ground that he is not resident Of
this state in that capacity, but only as
an individual.
Should the service be vacated, then the
state would probably try to secure service
by publication.
In General Douglas opinion this lates
move Of the merger people will not EN-
barass the state. It is immaterlal to tht
state in which court the case is tried.
will reach the supreme court in due tim'
! anyway.

HAWKEYE IROLLEYS
Several Elections Called to Vote
Taxes in Aid.
LATE ENACTMENRS ARE LIBERAL
State Will Be Covered in IL Few
Years With Il Network of
Interurbans.
snanial To The IonrnaI

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, April 19.-Elections
have been called in several communities
in Iowa for the purpose of voting taxes in
aid of interurban railways. Under the
generous laws enacted in favor of such
lines by the last general assembly, the
state will in few years become covered
with a network of interurbans. The %Ha-s
mann measure, which was passed by this
assembly, gave to interurban lines the
rights of steam railroads, with few re-
strictions.,
Under this law, such electric lines have
the right Of eminent domain and power 70
use the highways with the, consent of
three fourths of the abutting property
owners. They are in some degree re-.
stricted in cities, where if a general
freight business is done, it is necessary
to pay damages to persons owning prop
erty abutting on the streets where the
lines run. On the whole, the law gives
interurbans wide liberty.
There is also the Blanchard law, which
permits communities to vote taxes up to
per cent in aid of interurban lines. This
measure was passed only after encounter
ing concerted opposition from the steam
railway corporations.
One of the proposed lines is to run from
Des Mones west, through Guthrie Center,
Audubon and Harlan. An election in fur
-NAAS-
held in Guthrie Center. Another proposed
! line will run from Tama to Buxton. Work
| on this line will be done this summer
| The start will be made at Oskaloosa and
will be run to Buxton this season II pos
| sible. There is also talk OF beginning at
Tama simultaneously and building soutn
toward Oskaloosa. The purpose of this
line is to open up the vast coal helds
about Oskafoosa and Buxton.
Actually building at this time is the
line from Des Moines to Colfax and the
| line from Des Moines to the new army
post south of the city. Surveys will be-
gin shortly for line between Charles
City and Clarkville. A company with
$500 900 capital fully subscribed has been
formed for this purpose. A line twenty
| seven miles long between Iowa City and
Cedar Rapids will be built this season
There is talk of extension of the line be-
tween Waterloo and Denver, to the Fred
erika oil fields in Bremen county, dis
lance of fifteen miles. Then also there is
a line proposed from Cresco to New
Hampton, this to be extended ultimately
to connect with the proposed extension
of the Waterloo Denver line to Fred
erika.
In fact there is almost no limit to the
number of lines being agitated at this
time Surveys are going on for line
from Waterloo to Des Moines by way o.
Eldora and Nevada. Two different
j routes between Waterloo and Tama are
being considered by promoters Anothe1
projected line is from Oskaloosa to Of
4 tumwa. There is talk OF connecting At
lantic and Villisca in the southwestern
part of the state In this region also, il
is proposed to run a line from Crestor
to Winterset for the purpose of carrying
on a general freight and passenger bust
ness.

HULL MAY YET LOSE
All Said to Depend on Madison
County.
SITUATION AS IT LOOKS TO-DAY
Prouty Sentiment Looming Up in All
the Counties-some Desper-
ate. Fighting.
Special to The Journal.

Sp6Cldl " 1 uS JOuludl
Des Moines, Iowa, April 19.-The sew
enth district congressional situation has
resolved itself almost entirely into de-
pendence on the outcome in Madison
county. All the reports from there are
that the Hull and Prouty forces are lining
up for hard contest and there is little
doubt if Prouty can carry the county.
Hull will yet be beaten in the district.
Judge Proutys name will go on the pri-
mary ticket in Madison county and there
will be q straight out test of Hull and
Prouty sentiment.
1t develops that the Warren county
primaries will not be called until after the
Madison primaries have been held. AS
it looks now, neither Marion, Warren nor
Dallas will hold their congressional prl-
maries until after Madison has indicated
It's feeling. Marion is conceded to Prouty,
and in Warren county Hull has the sup
port of but two politicians of prominence.
One is Postmaster Dowell at Indianola,
and the other is DR.. Porterfeld. The en-
tire force OF county officers and every
other politician in Warren county is lined
up against Hull and the Indianola Herald,
which heretofore has been strong Hull
paper, is rampant against the present con-
gresham. .-....
In the event Hull should lose Madison,
Warren and Marion, then Dallas will be
compelled to divide it's strength and give
the Prouty men the best of 1t, in order to
protect. it's own citizens who aspire tC
congressional and judicial honors. in the
future.
In Warren county, neither Hull mol
Prouty will be named on the primary bal
lot, but there will be list of Hull an(
anti Hull delegates.

n. P. STRIKERS
Machinists in Brainerd Shops
Have a Grievance and
Walk Out.
Special to The Journal.

Brainerd, Mimi, April 19.-Much sur
prise was evinced this morning by those
who are on the outside on learning that
some seventy-five or eighty men, who
worked as machinist,s at the Northern Pa
citic shops, wer on a strike. SO smooth
ly have things been running apparently
at the shops that no one had the slightest
idea there was any trouble. The men
walked out at $50 O'Clock without any
excitement.
The officers of North Star Union, No.

Machinists, stated that their grievances
were laid before Master Mechanic Bean
over o. week ago and i. was not until
this morning that he gave out his ulti-
matum The difficulty has arisen over
the advancement Of what is known as a
handy" from a drill machine to tur-
ret lathe. a position which the machin-
lists maintain cannot be rightfully held
except by full fiedged machinist.
The man who was advanced was Ed
ward Leach. He has worked in the shops
for years, but drew only the salary of d
handy which is $1.65 a day. while reg
ular machinists receive SO a day. 49,
The committee called on MI. Bean, sc

ernor's denomination.
Ray w. Jones' candidacy for the Office
of lieutenant governor seems to be NOV
ing along smoothly and to have encoun-
tered no obstacles thus far in its career.
Jones figures on a solid delegation from
Hennepin county. Some question having
arisen as to his attitude as candidate
toward the denomination of Governor Van
SAINT, TIL e Journa asked him to-day
with regard to that matter. MT. Jones
thereupon dictated the following state
ment to a reporter for publication:
You can say for me that Il only consented
to become a candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor after all others from Hennepln county
who had been suggested for the oh1ce had
assured me that they were not and would not
be applicants for the office, and after many
personal friends have most earnestly soil
cited me to become a candidate, and have
given it as their opinion that my candidacy
would be perfectly acceptable to the party
in Hennepin county, and that ! would with
out doubt have the hearty and united support
OF the Hennepin county delegation.
Upon such assurance and acting upon the
advice of friends who were better posted
and knew more of the political situation Ill
the county than I did, have consented To
become a candidate, because l think the OF
tice OF lieutenant SOVeTuOI VI Jul SfStI oeotS
is an honorable position to attain, and pc
cause have been led to believe that my can
didacy will result in a solid, united and ha1-
monious delegation going to the state con.
venton from this county av&s
l will say, however that if convinced thai
such result cannot be accomplished, my
desire for party success is SO much greater
than my personal ambition, that I will mos
| gladly withdraw from the race and will ust
my utmost eIdeavors to have the party mar
monte and unite on another candidatesS
I And regarding the renominatIon &ofs GOV
ornor Van SAINT, will say that my. relation
have always been and are now most friend
| ly: that he deserves a denomination not oni.
because Of party precedence, but Of his az
titude towards and his handling of great ant
important public questions during his tern
| o. office.
He has at all times acted for and IN tn
interests of the people, he is the logical can
didate for governor on the republican ticket
and if nominated, believe he and the en-
tire ticket will be elected by a handsome
majority.
If shall succeed in going to the convention
with solid delegation from this county,
trust that delegation will be just as solid 10

Des Moines. Iowa, April 1a.-Adjutant
General Byers has mustered out of the
Iowa National Guard the company at Gel
vein, Known as Company L of the Forty
ninth regiment. The reasons for this ac-
tion are unusual. and are connected with
the recent labor troubles among the rail-
road men there.
Tie railroad employees eyinced their dis
like to the company in many ways and
the citizens Of the town feared to allow
their sons to attend drill, lest they would
suffer boycott at the hands of these
employees. The attendance at drill dWin-
died to such low figure that it was
found useless to try to keep the company
together.
The location of the new company that
will be organized is not determined. West
Union and DEBORAH are both anxious to
form a company.
