NORTH DAKOTA PROMISED.
Alex. Mckenzie Says that State Will
Support Roosevelt.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Alexander
Mckenzie, republican national COM
mitteeman from North Dakota, had an
interview with the president last
night and long talk with Secretary
Loeb today, in which ne gave strong
assurances Of support of his state Of
Roosevelt, next year. in convention
and polls. Mckenzie has noticed the
way in which eastern financial inter
ests are trying to break into the
Roosevelt strongholds all over the
west through western banking inter
ests, but says this effort will not meet
with success in his state.
For a number Of months Mckenzie
has been living in st. Paul and says
he has noticed that the financial inter
ests of the twin cities have been
tainted with anti -Rooseveltism, as a
result, he thinks Of the work Of the
western banking and financial inter
ests with whom these western men
r'-"' dealings. He believes,
however, that Minnesota will be solid
ly for Roosevelt when the time comes.

son when coal shipments are the lar
gest To send car to the mines in
western parts of the state for Ignite
takes it from the grain carrying trade
from five days to week. To have the
grain car, after it is emptied of wheat
at Duluth, switched over to the coal
docks and loaded with coal for ship
ment to some point in Minnesota
or the Dakotas, does not necessitate
any material loss Of time. The car
when unloaded, is right where it is
needed for grain shipment again. It
is an example of true economy Of
railway freight traffic. In fact the
railway companies could transport
coal from Duluth, 400 miles. under the
prevalent conditions, at less expense
than they could Ignite the $50 or 200
miles from our mines. With the rail-
way companies putting forth their
best efforts there is always lack of
cars for the grain shipment in the
fall II they we're to take any con-
siderable number of their cars from
the grain business to use in the trans
portation Of Ignite 1t would result in
grain blockades at local points. The
farmer who has now to wait, what he
considers frequently an unreasonable
length of time, to secure a car for
shipping his grain, would be still far
ther delayed, and the grain shipper,
the farmer and the business man
would complain loudly. No remedy
is offered for existing conditions. II
is regrettable that they are so. Lig-
mite is a splendid fuel and cheap, pro-
vided 1t could be transported at a
reasonable figure and the mine own
ers were not unreasonable. The rail-
way companies can not be blamed so
greatly however for preferring Duluth
coal haul and favoring It so far as
they can. No freighter prefers a one
way haul to loads both ways.

Editor Wilson of the Bathgate Pink
Paper in recent editorial, explains
why the tariff on Ignite is relatively
higher than on eastern coal. He says!
Much fault is being found through
out the state on account Of the pro-
portionately high rates fixed by the
railway companies for the transpor-
tatioE of Ignite coal. We use moth
ing but Ignite in Office and home and
would like it the better the lower the
rates. There is however a condition
existing which operates against low

CUT DOWN THE PRICE.

Manaaer Walker Finds the Price Of
Coal Too High in Fargo and Orders
Reduction.
Fargo Call: Mr.. Walker of the
Washburn Coal Co., was a visitor in
the city yesterday and in talking with
a number Of local business men who
formerly used Ignite coal in their
heating plants. was confronted in sew
eral instances with queries as to why
the price Of ignite Is 30 much higher
this year than liz former years. Mr..
Walker stated that the price was the
same as always and in fact lower. He
could scarcely believe his eyes, how
ever, when receipted bills for his
company's coal were shown him.
wherein the coal was listed at $500
per ton. 1t being understood between
the Washburn Company and the local
dray arm, that the coal was to be
delivered to the local consumer at
$3.50 per ton.
Mr.. Walker stated that at the be-
ginning Of the season. the Washburn
Coal. Co. had entered into a written
contract with q dray arm Of Fargo tc
handle their product, and that he
price Of $3.50 per ton was speciAcall,
agreed upon as the cost to the con

THE PRICE OF BEEF.

Among the resolutions to be pre-
sented to the national live stock as
sociation meeting in January will be
the following:
Resolved, That the concentration Of
packing facilities on modern lines in.
to the hands of few great capitalists
and into few market centers has re.
suited in almost eliminating competi-
ton, and has widened the margin be-
tween the price of cattle on the hoof
and the dressed meat to the consumer
to a point that is manifestly unfair to
the producer, and the only remedy Is
for the stockmen to combine and pro-
vide competition by building indepen-
dent packing plants and encouraging
new markets.
In this correction, it is interesting
to note that plans are already under
way for the establishment of an inde-
pendent packing house, to be built
and maintained by the co-operated
livestock raising interests of the
country. Notwithstanding the very
low prices paid by packers for live
stock this season. there has been no
reduction in the price Of meat pro-
ducts-they have gone up while the
price Of beef on the hoof has gone
down. The subject is one of vital I'm
portance to all stockgrowers, and
North Dakota should send delega-
tion TO the association meeting that
will consider the proposed packing
house plan, and, Il it is found feasible,
enlist the co operation OF the live
stock raisers of this state. Every
stcckman could we'll afford to contri-
butte to such an enterprise It is
noticed that the Iowa state grange
numbering thousand Of the farmers
and beef raisers of that state, have
enlisted with the National Live. stock
Association to fight the big packers
A working combination Of the stock
raisers Of the country could do much
to prevent unfair discrimination IN
prices.

ground. OF course II the bin is %
that the coal can be shoveled OF
without backing the loads, the coal
Is put inside-otherwise not.
Mr. Walker was very much surpris-
cd and In fact enraged to hear Of the
50 cent burden placed upon the pat
rons of the company, as the price Of
$3.50 was to cover the cost Of handl-
ing and delivering to the consum-
er. It is very noticeable at the CON-
pany's offices that there Is not near
the demand for Ignite here this win
ter as there was last, which, OF course
Is partially accounted for in there
being coal strike on last year and It
was impossible to secure hard coal.
The decrease in the consumption OF
Ignite, however, is not wholly due to
the fact that hard coal can be secured
but because the coal Is not as econ-
on.ical as other harder Goals at higher
prices, when 1t costs over $3.50 per
ton.
Mr.. Walker requested several gen.
tlemen who have already bought coal
from the company and who paid the
| 81 rate, to pay but $3.50 hereafter and
to deduct so cents from the bill for
ton they had purchased at the 81 rate.

Greensboro, N. c., Dec. 29.-Dr. Girls

Prof. Joe G. Estelle, the unfortunate
Yale College professor here, confined in
jeil. violently insane, was unable to take
him off last night. His wife, who is IL
New Haven has been telegraphed for,
and is expected tonight. Mr.. Estelle had
rot been overly insane until the train
left AsLevlle, Sunday night, but his
mind had been effected for some months,
and he had been TO his old home in
Franklin county, Tennessee, hoping that
rest would improve his condition. Mr..
Estelle is highly connected, Il brother Of
his being Judge Floyd Estelle, of Ter
nessee, and other members of the family
being prominent in social and profession
al life of the State. He is connected
with one of the schools of Yale College,
being a lecturer and teacher on higher
mathematics. Confined in a cell of the
jail, he is almost all the time raving
and spends much of his time taking off
and putting on his clothes. He did not
sleep wink last night, nor did he allow
an inmate of the Jail to do so.
Dr. Grizard asked permission to take
him out of Jail this morning for a walk
i'll the country, but the sheriff was not
willing to take the responsibility of turn
ing him out in the condition he was
in. At times he bitterly resents beng in
JAIL saying that he telegraphed the spirit
Of his dead father to free the spirit Of
his outraged son; at others he says that
it is well that he is confined, for other
members of his family have been on high
horses like himself.
Prof Estelle is certainly in a bad way
and it is to be hoped that by the time
his wife arrives tonight he will be
enough improved TO go home, or to a
sanitarium where he can be safely cared

A PapaI Note on Church Music.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated IfeSS.)
Rome, Dec. 2S.-After a long discussion
with experts, principally with the famous
composer, the Able Peosi, director of the
Sistine Choir, the Pope has issued OF his
own accord note on the subject of sacred
music in the churches. In this note,
which appears tonight in the Osservatore
Romano, His Holiness formulates rules for
church music, which recall the churches
to strict observance of the instructions
issued by former Pontiffs. The Pope,
who is keen student of music, condemns
the transformation of liturgic music into
compositions for use at concerts
The Pontiff is strongly in favor of the
Gregorian chant, and has ordered the
Able Perosi to compose Gregorlan mass
for the centenary of st. Gregory the
Great, next Easter. This mass will be
conducted by the Able in the chapel OF
St. Gregory and will be participated in by
500 singers.

TURNED NIGHT RED
A Fifteen Thousand Dol

Especial to News and observer
Durham, N c., Dec. 29.-Durham YVES
visited by $4,000 or $4,000 blaze at
an early hour this morning. The Elk
lodge and club rooms were burned and
greatly damaged by water; Goodail
Pharmacy was almost completely ruined
By water and smoke and the Mangum
building, in which was the Elk home ard
the pharmacy, was damaged to the eX-
tent of some $4,000.
Just about 2:30 o'clock this morning the
police discovered that there was fire
burning fiercely on the third floor OF the
Mangum building, and it afterwards de-
veloped that the fire started in the ante
room of the lodge. By O'Clock the fire.
men had the blaze under control and an
hour later the water was turned off.
The losers and insurance carried are
as follows: W. Mangum and j. S. Man
gum, damage to building. $4,000, insur-
ance, $4,000; damage to Elk lodge and
club rooms about $4,000, insurance, $1,000;
damage to Goodall stock about $1,000,
insurance, $4,000.
From the very first the fremen were
handicapped by not having ladders that
could be raised to the third story window
OF the building. The ladders used are
crude heavy affairs and the only one that
would reach the window weighs some six
hundred pounds and could not be raised
on account of the numerous wires. The
fire was burning fiercely at the head of
the second flight of steps and soon after
this the ceiling began to fall in, this
preventing them from fighting on the in
side Then water had to be thrown into
the bilding from the street and the re-
suit was that the fire was simply flooded.
Five streams of water were thrown on
the fire for two hours or more.
ON the third floor was the Elk lodge
rcom This was entirely burned, nothing
being saved On the second aoor were
the club rooms with fine furniture, car
Pets pool and billiard tables, piano ard
other costly furnishings. This was all
damaged at least three fourths On the
first floor was the Goodall Pharmacy. He
had about $4,000 stock and it is stated
this afternoon that his loss is at least
three fourths with $500 insurance Oh
stock and 81, 200 on fixtures. Tn the base
ment of the building. where was stored
about 81 200 worth of goods water was
five feet deep.
The building is to be repaired at once,
Mr.. Goodall will purchase a new steel:
as soon as possible and the Elks will at
once begin to restore lodge and club
room. 1t was one of the most disastrous
fires in some two years.
