DAMPOWERREDUCE
A Drop in the River Makes Twin

Auxiliary Steam Plants Not Yet in

Emergency.
IL the city.

The Mississippi river. is banned for to-
days intermittent car service. It refused
utterly to furnish power for the street
railway system for several long minutes
this morning, and has worked grudgingly
all day after the cars were finally set in
motion. The delay was caused by the low
stage Of the river and not by the snow,
as the public supposed.
Within two days, owing to drop in the
river. the street railway company has lost
5000 horse power at the dam. The water
is rising slightly, but there is little pros
pect of immediate or great relief. In fact
the river is the key to the transportation
problem in the city.
It was, expected that the steam auxiliary
plants in Minneapolis and st. Paul would
be ready this fall to help out the power
dam and the storage battery at the Sec
Ond avenue N station. ,Profiting by their
experience last winter the officers of the
company made contracts for machinery
with which to install two auxiliary power
plants, one in Minneapolis and one in st.
Paul. The equipment was ordered at once
for August delivery. 1t has not all come
yet, and the telegraph and long distance
telephone is being worked hard to get it
here. Representatives. Of the company
have been sent to the factory to see what
personal solicitation will do to expedite
matters. The weather has not manufac-
tured any anchor ice this year, and conse
Quently this new feature caught the COM
pany rather unexpectedly.
The big stores and offices were handi-
capped this morning for help. about two
hours. Fortunate beings near the starting
points on the different lines managed to
make better time, but it was good while
before the cars would stop for intermedi-
ate passengers. Complaints poured into
the newspaper offices all the morning.
The school principals wanted to know
what had become Of their teachers, and
the department stores wanted to know if
sudden epidemic had been reported as
carrying off their counter help.

INVEST YOUR MONEY
At Home, Where You Know Conditions

At Home, Where You Know Conditions
and With Peope Whom You Know.
There are distinct advantages in keep
ing ones business interests in one place
and especially in the place where one
lives. by SO doing they can be given more
personal attention and with much less
trouble, expense and loss of time than if
they are scattered. In the latter case
travelling expenses alone are large item
and have to be met or else the business
must be trusted to agents, which is sell
dom satisfactory. One knows more about
conditions in. his home town, and es-
pecially Of the difficulties to be en-
countered, than he possibly can in any
other. pace. Peope are tempted to invest
money away from home, because inter-
ested promoters dwell on the favorable
features and say nothing about others
The Doyle Air Burner Company of Chi
cago and the Twin Cities offers an oppor-
tunity to invest at home in solid manu-
featuring busineSs-the manufacture of
staple goods-stoves and furnaces which
always have and always will sell well be-
cause everybody uses them. This bust
ness is headed by J.. A. Wood and r. H.
Edwards Of st. Paul, and f. B. Wood Of
Minneapolis, all members of the we'll
known firm Of brolxers-Edwards Wood
& Co., all men who have lived here for
years and are well and faVorably known
An investor can step into their Offices at
any time and learn all about the business
If the Doyle Air Burner conpany's stoves
and furnaces were no better than others
the business would be a good one, and as
they are very much better, requiring only
one-half as much fuel for the production
ola given quantity of heat, the business
has every promise, of being extremely
profitable. The t.sPaul office of the
Doyle Air Burner company is at So East
5th street, and the Minneapolis office at
Ala Second avenue South, and the com
pany's stoves and furnaces are on exhi-
1ition at both places. Call or write for
prospectus and full particulars.

approaching meeting said B. F. Nelson
of the Nelson TuthiN Lumber company;
but 1 have not understood that the fight
was to be abandoned. Pacific coast lum-
bermen and all exporters of lumber are
naturally the most interested in the bill
The bill was designed a retaliatory
measure to offset the heavy doCizage
charges on American products. The flour
milling interests of Minneapolis are hard
hit by these excessive charges, but the
lumbermen are only indirectly interested
in the effect CT the dock charges upon
dealers of the south and west.

company says the matter should have
been laid before the annual meeting at
St. Louis within a few days. He is in

JUNIOR BALL DATED
The Great Social Event Of the University
Year Is Set for

The University Junior Ball association
met this morning and decided to hold the
ball on Friday, Jan. %. The reason for
the early date is that the glee and mando-
lin clubs and the band have arranged for
trips the week before and the week after
AS a matter of courtesy and also of fnan-
cial betterment it was thought best to
have the ball when all could attend. Con-
sidering that the decora tions and arrange
ments are to exceed those of former years,
the association also decided to Increase the
price of tickets to IS. Until last year the
tickets were always SO but as each class
tries to Guido it's predecessor in the ap-
pofntnents of the ball, the price of ad-
mission has had to be Increased.
