County Board and the Sheriff.

Inc county commissioners at their
last meeting talked over several things
that may prove of vital Importance tC
Sheriff-elect Butchart. The commits
sioners are Of the opinion that the
sheriff can get along with a few less
deputies than at present employed and
the chances are that some of the re-
concentrations of appointments will
be held up at the meeting on the first
OF the year. At present there are ten
deputies employed and the board
seems to think that seven or eight
might be sufficient.
Another matter that may not float
like oil on water will be the contract
for boarding the prisoners. Sheriff
Sargent received 1915 per week pei
man for boarding prisoners at the
county Jail, which was a reduction OF
75c per week allowed during the time
the sheriff's office was on a fee basis
Before this the rate was soc per day
or $3.50 per week.
1t may let the boarding contract te
anybody, and it can handle it directly
without letting it. When the contra c1
was let to Sheriff Sargent there was
more or less of sentiment among the
members of the board that as the office
had been changed from a fee basis to
salary basis during his term, he
should be dealt with fairly literally in
the matter of boarding prisoners.
1t is said that members of the board
have threatened to take this work out
of the hands of the sheriff and let the
county handle it. These members think
that if the sheriff can make a little
something out of boarding the prison
ers at $2.75 a week the county ought te
be able to make something or save
something, which amounts to the same
thing by handling the work itself.

The Coal Famine.

| The coal situation in. the United
States today is most disgraceful ever
in all it's seriousness. Yesterday hun
dreds of people in Boston, half frozen
and with children at home suffering
bitterly with the cold, caused a riot
on small scale in their attempts tt
buy the needed article of fuel. These
people were not trying to steal coal
They We're trying to buy it, and pre-
sumably had the price. Yet so scarce
was the article that they struggled sc
violently for an opportunity to get even
a sack that the police had to be called
to preserve order. Even then the trou-
BILE did not cease. A coal company
hauled load in sacks in front of it's
office, and so fierce was the struggle
to get few pounds that the officers OF
the law were beaten when they oppos-
ed the onslaught of the mob-and
mind you, the people wanted to buy
coal, not steal it.
That is the situation here in Duluth
today. Our citizens are clamoring for
fuel and throng the offices of the rep
| resentatives of the coal barons, begging
to be allowed to purchase sufficient of
the mine product to keep them warm.
1t is to be regretted that some dealers,
even in our city, feel it necessary from
the shortage in their stocks, to dis
criminate in their selling. But certain
1T is that many a person has tried to
buy coal in Duluth during the past few
days and has been refused while 9TH
ers, friends and regular patrons of TIN.
agents, have b en- able to secure what
they desired. This is a serious con-
dition of affairs and it will grow worse
before spring unless much larger
amount of coal reaches port in a few
days than is expected
Something is out of joint when three
fourths of the families of Baltimore
are out of coal, when the coal offices
OF Duluth, Providence, New Haven
and Milwaukee are besieged by anx-
lous men, women and children, and
the immense population of New York
has it's scant supply threatened by
single snow storm. Two or three
weeks of bitterly cold weather would
auo TO the strain to an extent that
can hardly be foretold.
The United States has nearly half
the railway mileage of the world, plen-
ty of navigable lakes and rivers. un-
equaled methods of loading and I'M
loading and unbounded business en-
terprise. When therefore the fuel
supply breaks down almost at the
hrst touch the situation is abominable.
Ihere must be manipulation some
"here to produce such a result in
one OF the great staple necessities of
lie. Here is a question demanding
the attention of statesmen and legis-
iatiVe bodies, and also the best efforts
OF inventors. The many should not be
caled on to suffer while business con-
splrators steer the storage and ship
ment OF coal into such conditions as
are now reported from most of the
great centers of population. The coal
strike has been over long enough not
TO enter into the question to any great
extent. Something else is the cause
OF the trouble.-Duluth Herald.

would be preserving it so effectually
that few people would be able to bring
down a deer legally. There is very
seldom any snow between Oct. 81 and
Nov. 10, and for one do not care to do
much deer-hunting without snow. I
cannot believe that anybody is serious
in wanting to put the open season so
early. 1 can see no possible reason or
excuse for it unless it is to prevent
hunting altogether

Conducted Tourist System, not only of visit
ing the beautifully city in which the Conven-
ton is to be held, and participating in the

visiting the Yellowstone National Park, at
cost impossible under ordinary conditions of

The Yellowstone Park is never more attrac-
tive than during the month Of July, and the

nifty Of visiting all its unique attractions, in
Guiding the Mammoth Hot Springs, the Gey-
sers, the beautiful Lake, and the Grand Canon

NEW BANK BUILDING.

The directors of the Lambertville
National Bank have decided to build
a new bank building, the present
quarters having become too small for
their increasing business.
The present bank building, at the
corner of Bridge and Union streets,
will be torn down, and a much larger
one erected on the site. The new
building will be % feet 6 inches wide
on Bridge street and 6S feet deep on
Union street, or about &c feet longer
than the present building. 1t will be
three stories in height. The material
lite trimmings, and the general design
is such as to make a solid and hand
some edifiee and a fine ornament to
the city.
The first floor will be set apart for
the uses of the bank exclusively. The
entrance on Bridge street will be near
the corner, and will be quite ornamen-
tai. 1t will be on level with the
street. Almost the whole first floor
front, exclusive of the entrance, will
be of glass. The main banking room
will be about four feet wider than the
present room, as there will be no en-
trance to rooms above from Bridge
street, and it will be somewhat deeper.
Next to the main-room will be erected
al &C., c.,
keeping of funds, and also providing
largely increased facilities for safe
boxes, &C., for the use of renters.
Adjoining the vault will be provided
conveniences for renters of boxes,
such as desks, chairs, etc. In the
rear of the vault room will be the di-
rectors room. The ceiling of the first
floor will be 10 feet high.
The entrance to the second and
third floors will be from the rear end
of the building on Union street.
The second floor will contain four
fine, well-lighted offices, with hall
running nearly the entire length on
the east side.
The third floor will be arranged ac-
cording to the purpose for which it
may be leased. 1t will make one or
two handsome lodge rooms. The sec
ond and third floor ceilings will be 10
feet high.
The entire building will be heated
by hot water, and lavatories, ETC., will
be put in the offices and rooms on each
floor.
Work is to be begun as soon as pos
sible. The bank will have to seek
other quarters while the work is being
done, as no part of the old building
will be preserved.
The architects of the new building
are g. L, Schermerhorn and Watson
K. Phillips, 430 Walnut street, Phila-
delphia.
