Sept. 80, as compared with the CORE

The value of orders issued for the third
quarter this year was $132, Gil. 81; last
year, $129,258.40. The value Of orders
cashed here In the third quarter of 1902
was $579, A55; In the corresponding
quarter of 1901,s 1913, 300. 81. The COM

Senator E. T. Young Of Appleton, who
Is in St. Paul to-day on legal business.
discussed the legal phases Of the strike
in the coal mines in an interesting fash
ion. He believes in the right of the gov
eminent to acquire the coal lands by con-
demnation proceedings, and thinks that
may be a necessary step. Said Senator
Young 80. ,.>- ',.- 49, 49,. !,
:'No matter how the present strike may
be settled, the fact that private owner
ship of the anthracite coal fields makes
possible such a condition as that, which
now confronts the country calls for i'm
mediate intelligent action by the govern
ment. The fact that eighty millions OF
people are at the mercy of handful or
mine owners for. their ,fue! supply is a
thing we had not before fully realized. A
government supposed to be clothed with
the power to promote the public welfare
is but poorly equipped for the purpose
if it has not the power to bring the pres
ent intolerable condition to an end.
The situation would be no less en-
barrassing If without strike the mine
operators decided to close the mines anC
refused to permit any mining to be done
| Would the government be any less power
less to protect the rights of the masses
in such case? If SO there is an immediate
demand for such change in our laws OF
constitution as will safeguard the peo
pies rights.
1.-THE government has the right now tt
acquire title by condemnation to any rea
property needed for public purpose
There might be a question raised as Il
whether securing a fuel supply TO tn
people was technical public purpose
But if we have not the right to condemn
and retake. at their true value, any land

comfort, health and well being OF tn
people, them the constitution ought to b.
amended at once so as to permit it.

Men are now busy on the mammoth

the owner, calls for a unique structure.
Long sheds, in which he expects to house
his constantly growing stable, will ra-

shaped hub, and "spokes" will be added
as rapidly the growth of the equine
population demands. Each spoke will ac-
commodate about thirty horses and the
sheds will be models from every stand

SCHOOL FINANCES
They Will Be Canvassed by the
Board Tomorrow.

At special meeting Of the board of
education tomorrow noon, the matter OF
asking bonds for new schoolhouses will
be definitely determined. Originally the
board desired 100000 from the board of
tax levy for building schools, and IL this
could not be secured, bond issue of
100000 was deemed advisable: The
school board did not receive all that it
asked FOR mrom the board Of tax levy,
and must consider ways and means for
next year.
BY postponing the proposed increase in
the salaries Of the teachers it Is esti-
mated that the board will have about
$50, 900 available for building. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that this balance can be
increased materially as the estimates
submitted to the board OF tax levy are
said. to have been liberal. Some authori-
ties are of the opinion that the ,school
board, by judtcious economy, could ac-
cumulate 100000 building fund with
| out bonds. Others insist that this is i'm
possible and that a bond issue will be
REQUIRED in order to, secure the desired
fund. Possibly $4,000 will be sufficient,
