GOOD BOWLING CONTEST.
Capital Bicycle Club Team Won Three
Games From Columbia Golfers.

An interesting bowling match took place
last night on the alleys OF the Capital BIZ
cycle Club, between a team representing
that organization and one from the Column
bia Golf Club. The home team captured
all three games. but the contest was close
enough to maintain the interest throughout
the evening. The Capital b. bowlers play
ed a beautiful game, remarkable for it's
steadiness, not once falling under the 800
mark and when the Columbia bowlers got
close up In the second game, advanced their
score enough to win out by narrow mar
gin. Tonner of the Bi. club had the high
score Of the evening. knocking over 211 pins
In the last game. while Mckinley, with a
score Of 2G5, headed the Columbia bowlers.

When Hildreth purchased the stable Of

to beat them. From 8 to 5. the opening
odds, he played him down to to 10.

AN INVENTIVE TYPO
Hans Peterson, Printer, Is Build
ing an Automobile Plow.
CONFIDENT THAT 1T WILL WORK
on Wheels Will Supply
the Power.

Down in Valentine Brothers gasolene
engine factory, First avenue N, a grimy
young man is hard at work on plans for
an automobile plow. He is Hans Peter
son, printer, and he is confident that by
next season he can dispense with the nine
horses it takes to furrow his section of
North Dakota land. Il il
'.My reasoning isn't altogether. theo-
retical," said Peterson. II got the idea:
last year when saw Richland county,
North Dakota, and Roberts county, South
Dakota, farmers hitch plows to steam
threshing engines and pillow up their
fields"
Peterson will get his motive power from
q twenty-five horse power gasolene en-.
CINE. 1t will rest on a light wooden frame,
supported by two immense Sarven double
wooden drive wheels and a single steerage
wheel of the same pattern. The wheels
are provided with light iron rims and
two-foet tread. A three breaking pillow
is to be hitched to this ponderous device.
Peterson believes his invention will do
the work easily because it weighs far less
than a steam engine and because, ordina-
rily, it only takes a three-horse- power:to
pillow land. ~ .sF
Discarding the fact that his engine will
lose much of its power from moving its
own weight. he says the. harder the plow
pulls such being a law of mechanics
the greater will be the power of the
engine.
It will cost Peterson $1,000 to perfect
his strange combination. Friends who
feared it would be failure tried to dis
s,1ade him from going ahead with his
plans. But he was not to be discour-
aged.
SIN like painter he said, who will
60 on and finish painting, if he knows
he won't get a cent for it, because there
is fascination about the work which he
cannot resist" 49,

LOWER FLOUR RATE
Millers Will Call on Eastern Trunk
Line Men.
WANT EXPORT TARIFF REDUCED
Feed Dealers In London Are UP. In
Arms Against the New /.
Duties. I

Minneapolis millers may send repre-
sentative east soon to canvass the export
hour rate question with the executives Of
eastern trunk lines.
Efforts have been made to secure an
opportunity for the millers to address q
meeting of trunk line officials in support
OF their request for a lower rate on ex-
port Hour, but so far without result. The
mlllers intend, If necessary, to visit each
of the eastern traffic men separately.
III the trunk line association Is not
heard from in reasonable time this will
be the next move
There seems little doubt among north
western traffic men and -four makers that
the adjustment of rates into the central
states asked by the northwestern millers
will be made. The Central freight asso-
citation meeting, which will deal with this
matter, will meet in Chicago next week.
The London correspondent Of the
Miller says the feed dealers
in the United Kingdom are up in arms
against the new duty on feed. On all
products affected, the London prices In
clude the full duty and more in some
cases. 40
The London flour trade views the new
duty with equanimity, believing that the
advantage gained by the English millers
will be too slight to make much differ
ence in the Importation of American flour.
The correspondent believes that the ad-
vantage to the English miller will be con-
siderable on accountsof the high duty on
bran, although this does not affect Ameri-
ca as much as the continent.

ALL FOR ONE PRICE
Elks Carnival Patrons Promised
Much for Their Money.

3 AS the result OF an understanding
and the general carnival committee, the
public will be permitted to see the fif-
teen shows managed by the Turk for the
single price Of admission. Under the pre-
vious agreement with Jabour 10 and rs
cent fees We're to be charged to the diff
ferent shows and the trained Wild ani-
NAL arena. the total of which would have
been $50. The fifteen shows do not in

extra attraction at an immense outlay.
Owing to the novelty of this act and the
great cost of putting it on the commit
tee feels justified in charging an extra
nominal price of admission to that spec
tacle.
1t was announced at last evenings
meeting of the Elks that the total cost
of putting on the carnival. before the
gates are opened. will be $4,000. S. B..
Hall, manager of the carnival associa-
ton, expressed the belief that not less
than 100000 people would pass through
the carnival gates during its two weeks
engagement in June. He based this esti-
mate on the fact that more than 10000
people saw the Elks carnival in st. Paul
two years ago.
Bids for the construction of 200 booths
for the industrial fair section of the
show will be opened May 10. The con-
tract will be awarded to the highest
bidder.

rays, will show the way at night down
