HILL DOES NOT

Nce-President Jafray Says tho Rail-
y road Magnate is a Minor
Stakeholder.

Robert Jaffray Of TORONTO, Ontario,
vice president Of the Crows Nest
Pass Coal company, is in the city on
his way east to st. Paul to meet
President James J. Hill Of the Great
Northern railway, a heavy share
holder in the company. This evening
he will be Joined by Lieutenant Col
onel James Mason, a director, and
@. 8. Lindsay, X. c., secretary and
chief counsel for the company. The
party has been spending several days
making thorough inspection Of the
colleries at Morrisey, Michel and Coal
Creek, near Fernie, in the heart of
the famous Crows Nest coal basin,
East Kootenay.
TO The Press the vice president
unfolded some of the inside history
Of the big coal company. In the
first place he stated that Mr.. Hill
owns only 80 per cent of the capital
stock of the company, instead of 65
per cent--the control. He said: Pres
ident Hill has never sought to con-
troll the company. While he does own
80 per cent of the stock, he has not
even representation sn the board of
directors. The company is a Canadi-
an enterprise, backed by Canadian
capital, and as to the stories of the
mining and smelling being sacrificed
to Americans, there is absolutely no
truth in it. Our charter requires us
to supply the industries of the prov
ince first before we can market else

Sidewalk Row
Is Waxing Hot

Sidewalks fronting property owned
by G. B. Dennis and Cyrus Bradley,
in Dennis Il Bradley's addition, are
the cause of strife that has broken
out between those two gentlemen and
the board of public works.
Last week orders were prepared
and sent to AIR. Denn.s and Mr..
Bradley STIMULATING that the city
might tear up the Objectionable side
walks, which are on Superior street
and Hamilton street. This morning
the order came back signed from Mr..
Dennis. Mr.. Bradley sent back his
order unsigned. with the suggestion
that If the walks were not satisfac-
tory the city might fence them off.
Street Commissioner Root said to-
day: mr.. Bradley may not be aware
that his walks have been fenced off
ever since last spring Constant COM
plant has come in against these
walks. The city will now have the
walks torn up whether Mr.. Bradley
gives his consent or not. The walks
are in such condition that they can
not be repaired, and. rather than have
the city run the risk of damage suits
through accidents, l propose to have
the walks torn up"

charge of the Surprise saloon In the

orders for the women not to get out.

to induce the women TO hold the fort,

LIFT SCHOOLS
WITHOUT WOOD.
The Contractors Tried to
Substitute Soft
Coal.

When the school term opened yes
terday 1t was found that many Of the
schools did not have a stick Of wood,
owing to the failure of the fuel firm
securing the contract from the city
to promptly meet it's obligations.
This morning orders were sent out
to Independent fuel companies to de-
liver from one to two cords Of wood
to each of the city schools.
Heretofore the firm securing the
fuel contract has delivered the wood
during July and August Scarcity of
wood has been given as the reason
for not delivering the wood on time
this year.
The school board awarded the con-
tract for 1000 cords to the North
western Improvement company early
in the season, the contract price being
1925 per cord. Dexter Shroudy is
the head of this company, which is
said to be the successor to the old
Northern Pacific Fuel company. The
company put up bond guaranteeing
fulfillment of contract.
President Floyd Daggett of the
school board this morning said:
1.-TWO weeks ago the board discov-
cred that the wood had not been de-
livered, and the contractors were
then given notice that they must
have the fuel up within one month,
under penalty of having the school
board take up the surety bond and
buy the wood elsewhere. The bond
is ample protection against loss, al
though failure to meet the contract
would work great annoyance.
1.-THE company securing the con-
tract also deals in coal, and they
tried to induce the board to accept
coal, but the board refused. Their
reason for wanting coal to be used
was that wood Is becoming more
scarce every year and it is only a
short time at best until coal will have
to be adopted as the fuel The board
did not care to be annoyed with the
sole coal nuisance until compelled
to do So
II expect the wood to be delivered
within the next two weeks"
