The transport Sherman arrived yes
terday afternoon from San Francisco

sengers taken in many months by any
of the transport fleet. She left San
Francisco March 1 so brought three
days later mail. The vessel expert
enced disagreeable weather for a couple
of DAYS but the remainder of the trip

one round of fun.
The Twelfth Infantry under command
of Col. John w. Bubb is aboard. There
are also a number of recruits aboard,
the total number of soldiers being 1852.
The Twelfth Infantry served during the
Cuban campaign and participated in
the attack on FL Caney where it suffer-
ed considerable loss. After the Gu
ban war the regiment was sent in 1898
to the Philippines via the Suez Canal
The regiment remained in the Philip
pines until the early part of 1900 when
it was sent home. Since that time the
regiment has been doing garrison
duty in Utah, Texas and Arizona Col
Onel Bubb has been in the regiment
since the beginning of the Civil War.
He entered the regiment in 1861.

TOXIC, March cit is rumored
that the Japane Sc fleet has engaged
the VlQdvCstok squadron
The Russian Vladivostok squadron is
supposed to be composed of the belted
cruiser Rossia, the cruiser Rurik, the
protected cruiser Bogatyr, and the fine
armored cruiser GromOboi. The Gromo-
boi is a vessel of 14,367 tons and car
ries a crew of 500 men, and has a speed
of twenty knots. The Rossia is of 12,
500 tons and has a speed of twenty
knots. The Rurik is slightly smaller
than the Rossia and not so fast. The
Bogatyr is of $500 tons and has
speed of twenty-three knots. The YES
sells composing the squadron are known
as commerce destroyers and there has
been considerable mystery as to their
movements since they first destroyed
the japanese steamer off the northern
japanese coast at the opening of the
war a month ago.

IT WAS JAP DAY
IN POLICE COURT
HALF OF CASES ON CALENDAR
WERE AGAINST THE LITTLE
BROWN MEN.

It was japanese day in the police
court today. Out of a total Of "A
cases on the calendar twelve were Jap
anese. Eight Japs were charged with
having disturbed the peace of the night
They were having a war feast and
they mad too much noise. Judge
Dickey fined them 81 and costs as he
thought that the friendship of the
Japs must not be risked by inficting
heavy fines, besides the offences did
not warrant heavier fines any how.
Asa the diminutive Japanese sneak
thief whose depredations were large
enough however was arraigned on
three charges. He was charged with
stealing a coat, a silver sugar bowl and
some silver spoons. Asa had ad-
mitted to Detective Renear his guilt
but when arraigned the little Jap with
good criminal strategy fell back to a
new line of action and tried to pass the
buck to mysterious partner. Asa
claimed that the other Jap did most
Of the stealing and gave the goods to
Asa. The court continued the cases
until tomorrow afternoon.
Koheashi Sidaro was fined $3.50 and
costs for selling liquor without a Ii
cense. TOma Abe caused the arrest.
All Kee was arraigned on a charge
of having Che Fa tickets in his pos
session. When the tickets came to
be translated, it was discovered that
they were nothing but Chinese riddles.
Kee had evidently been calling on some
lady friends and wanted to entertain
them with a rebus or two When
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth learned
the nature of the tickets he had to

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-07-03

pairing this brief review of an I'M
portant industry called upon the. Jones
& Adams company, represented In this
city by c. w. Adams, manager, and
ii. w. Shade, sales agent, with offices
at No. Al Robert street, and cleaned
much information concerning the coal
business, the Importance of which, as
we have already intirnated. is little APP
preciated. The Jones & Adams conn
pany was incorporated In 1898, seven
years ago, at Chicago, under the laws
OF Illinois, to acquire and operate BIZ
luminous coal mines at Springfield and
Cat1in, ILL.,, in connection with their
anthracite properties in Pennsylvania.
The officers of the company are: J. S.
Jones, president; H. c. Adams, vice
president; D. W. Heath, secretary and
treasurer, and E. s. Van SAINT, traffic
manager. The head Office is in Chi
cago, but the Northwestern office,
which has charge of their extensive
dock facilities on Lake Superior, is To-
Gated in st. Paul. Agencies Of the
company are also maintained at Min
neapolis. Superior and Ashland, Wis,
Cleveland, Ohio, and at Springfield and
Catlin, III. MeSsrs. Adams and Shade
need no introduction to purchasers
and consumers of coal in the North
west Their company, too, is one of
the strongest in the country, and one
only needs to visit their enormous
docks on the lakes to realize that they
are doing business on a very large
scale. From their own mines they are

thracite. The great part of this enor-
nous tonnage came to the Twin Cities
from the western end of Lake Superior
and WAS controlled by companies whose
Offices are located in the Twin Cities
at the head of navigation on the Mis-
sissippi river. OF course all the coal
consumed in st. Paul and Minneapolis
does not come by way Of the lakes,
as large tonnage comes by rail from
mines in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and Pennsylvania. The latter state Is
the seat Of the anthracite industry, al
though hard coal exists in Montana,
Colorado and New Mexico, the two lat
ter being the only ones appearing in
statistics with the Keystone state as
producers.
What II Costs
The cost of coal has fuctuated
good deal in the last twenty-five years,
but the tendency has always been
downward, the average cost per ton
now being considerably less than half
what it was at that time. This is due
to the facilities in producing and han
ding it. A ship can be loaded from
docks by machinery in as many hours
as it formerly took days by the Wheel
barrow. A car, too can be loaded with
coal as easily and quickly as it can be
with grain from an elevator. The cars,
too, are larger and locomotives can
haul larger trains.

Western Canada Country of Vast Exent-The Principal
Divisions

Secretary the

Pacific and Canadian Northern rail-
roads. From the south it is reached by
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern lines from ST. Paul, and by the
500" which connects with the main
line of the Canadian Pacific at Moose
Jaw in AsSiniboia. The Great North
ern also has line running from Great
Falls, Mont, into Southern Alberta.
Part of this great region is rolling
prairie, part fiat plains, part a wooded
country and part region of groves and
prairies combined. 1t is well supplied
with water, rivers and lakes abound
ing.
Some idea of the extent of Western
ment of the distances between some of
the principal towns. From Winnipeg
to Edmonton by rail is 1,031 miles, or
as far as from st. Paul to Montreal;
from Winnipeg to Regina is 357 miles;
from Winnipeg to Prince Albert, 603
miles; from Winnipeg to Calgary, $40.
Although this new country is but
sparsely settled as yet, it is not to be
compared with the west of the United
States thirty years ago. In Western
Canada railways precede settlement to
large extent, SO that in the newest
towns the settler is in close touch with
the rest of the world The Northwest
mounted police maintain excellent Or
der, and a farmer who may be miles
| away from his nearest neighbor dwells
in as much security as he would in the
heart of a great city; in fact, more.
Formerly the whole of this country
belonged to the government and the
Hudson Bay company. Now much Of
the government holdings has been ced-
| ed to land grant companies, such as the

ton OF settlers from the United States
and other districts located there, amply
justify the wisdom of their choice.
In the twelve years that have elapsed
since they entered the Canadian field
they have located hundreds Of farmers
with their families on some of the
choicest lands of the Canadian Red
River Valley, all of whom are more
than eontented that their location fell
into such reliable and safe hands as 1t
did when they purchased from the
Manitoba Land and Investment COM
pany.
Aside from its land interests. which
are immense, the firm is engaged in
other important lines of work as well.
Through the individual firms compos-
ing the larger company, they own, con-
troll and operate large number of
banks, elevators, general stores and
department stores through Minnesota
and Canada, as well as an immense
cattle ranch with headquarters at
Pierre, South Dakota. The firm has
built banks, stores or elevators In over
twenty-five new Canadian towns in the
past few years.
But despite the large interests which
these parties and this firm control.
there Is no confusion nor lack of able
management, for each member of the
