At this season of the year when most

During this season the mountains are

hotels, they are veritable palaces with
luxurious interiors fitted with every
thing to please and accommodate the
guests.
The many interesting points such as
the Flume, Crawford Notch, the Fran

The largest of the mergers talked of is

The largest of the mergers talked of is
the combining Of the Gould-Rockefeller
railroads. This combination, it is said,
will be consummated as soon as financial
conditions permit. The roads to be
merged are the st. Paul, Missouri Pacific,
Wabash, Missouri Kansas & Texas, Ann
Arbor, Denver & Rio Grande, Texas &
Pacific and number Of smaller roads.
The merger is" waiting as much on ting
decision Of the Northern Securities case
as upon the money market, since it is
formed on similar lines. --.~
The next combination in size is the
packing merger. This will include Al
mour's. Swift's, Hammond's Cudahy
Packing company, Schwarzchild & Sulz-
berger and one or two others of the large
companies. The capitalization will be
about $3.50, 000.0 900 and will be, promoted by
New York and Chicago bankers. - e.

binations have been hanging fire. for a

a strong letter signed by the officers,

signed to the report was that of General
Ell Torrance, commander in chief, who
stated in his address that as soon as the
report was brought to President Roose-

General Black, who was unable to meet
with the committee. He says, however,
that he concurs in its deductions.
The investigation was conducted in
Washington and the committee began
their report by saying that Commissioners
Evans afforded them every opportunity to
make it thorough. Speaking of the re
suits Of their inquiry into special COM
plants, they say that many of these COM
plants were without merit, but that on
the other hand, many meritorious claims
had been thrown out.
From personal investiga ton" they
say. I'VE are convinced that scores OF
claims are rejected every day that should
be allowed"
The responsibility for these reflections
is laid principally at the door of the med

this point the report says: s..

In order to secure the long sought ex-
tension Of the Minnehaha car line to Fort
Smelling, go as to give Minneapolis much
needed direct connections with the post,
Minneapolis business men are about to go
into the transportation business them
selves
At meeting Of the Commercial club
public affairs committee, ten days ago,
a special committee of three was appoint
ed to canvass the situation among the
business men Of the city thoroughly. If
the sentiment seemed to demand imme-
date and decisive action, the committee
was instructed to take such steps as would
prevent further delay in securing the ex-
tension.
Fifty representative business men most
of them prominent factors in the retail
trade. which will be most directly bene-
flied by the improvement, were soon &C
lively identified with the movement.
Such strong pressure was brought to bear
on the street railway company that
Thomas Lowry consented to put in part
of the connecting link in the line to the
fort from Minnehaha condition that
the business men would bear part Of the
responsibility of construction. He didn t
put it exactly that way, but it was to that
effect. He said that formidable obstacle
at present was the indisposition of the
war department to grant him the right of
way across the reservat ton. He was will
ing to extend the Minnehaha line to the
edge of the reservation. but the business
men must complete it from there on to the
fort

outlined thus the committee began to ar
range for Washington lobby to secure

Of the best. Four cars had been ordered,
but on their way here three of them were
seized and confscated by the Rock Island
road. Telephone messages to Winona and
Rochester have been futile, as both cities
are short of coal.

ply OF fuel on hand sufficient to run until

most OF the business buildings will use
wood as fuel. and the entire output of
the Shevlin Carpenter mills here has been
bought up for this purpose. The distress
would be. felt keerly among families but
for the close proximity to the wood belt
This has resulted in large sale of wood
heaters and although it will be costlier

relieve a condition that would otherwise
be serious. ..=

Individual consumers are stocking UP on

Faribault. Mimi, Oct 9.-Careful inuui-
ry among dealers, at state institutions,
schools and industries shows that while
the soft coal situation is close, no inme-
date famine is expected. Illinois coal is
used almost exclusively, and so far the
supply exceeds the demand. Should a
famine come great hardship would be
suffered by the inmates of state institu-
tons, especially of the school for the fee
