Bluff, Excelsior, Deephaven, Bay St.
Louis, and striking over to st. Louis
Park.
1t would make a line eighty miles in
length and the time table would be ar,
ranged to send from six to ten trains
each way day, with a schedule pro-
viding from two to two and one-half
hours for the. run. 1t would be equip
ped with standard interurban line cars
and power would be supplied from main
power houses situated at Mankato and
st. Louis Park, sent through trans
forming stations located at distances
twenty miles apart along the line of
the road.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
to Times reporter, Colonel Hord said:
"Of course / do not like to talk too
much just yet about our plan of run
ming from MankatQ into Minneapolis, but
you can say that it is a practical GER
tainty that such line will be built.
The territory which would be tributory
to such line is rich with possibili-
ties to the first interurban line to get in
the field. Interurbans are way past the
experimental stage. They have proven
their earning capacities and their value
IN ns{iac N, oil nfo, IF
pulation in the country. The Twin
Cities seem to be little late in getting
them, but there is no reason why Min
neapolis should not be the center of a
thousand miles of interurban railway
lines. Twelve interurbans are already
running into Indianapolis, Ind. Cleve-
land has 1000 miles of interurban road
to bring country people and country pro-
duce to it. Little Des Moines, down in
Iowa, has over sixty miles of interurban
road and is building more. Aurora, my
home town, in Illinois, is a city of 3d.
900 people, and there are interurban
lines with an aggregate mileage of 2l0
miles centering there.
Colonel Hord returns to Mankato to-
day for a short stay, but throughout the
winter he will spend more of less time
in Minneapolis perfecting plans looking
towards an active campaign for the Min
neapolis- Mankato Interurban at the
opening of the season next spring.

NO REVISION UPWARD,
United States Marshal Grimshaw
Speaks on Tariff.

The Lincoln Republican club of st.
Paul vii do all in its power to promote
the election of the nominees of the par
ty, state and national, at the polls in
November. This was the sentiment of
the members who attended a house
warming at the clubs new rooms Mon
day evening and listened to enthusiastic
addresses on the Importance of sdyo-
eating republican principles and sup
porting the nominees of the party.
Among the speakers were United States
Marshal w. III. Grimshaw, James L.
Markham, Howard Wheeler and E. G.
Rogers.
Whatever the republicans of Mime
sofa do, they should stand by the nomi-
nees of the party from top to BOTTOM
said Mr.. Grimshaw. 1--WE want to elect
Robert c. Dunn of Princeton, Senator
Moses L. Clapp of st. Paul and all the
nominees of the party by big majority.

Advance Of Nearly Six Cents,
Due to AIarmist Reports.
Price Advances Three Cents in
the Mankato Market.
Wheat Now Brings More Than II
1t Did in August.
From Tuesdays Daily.

Low temperatures in Manitoba and
Northwest Territory caused wheat to
advance in Minneapolis today nearly six
cents. Temperatures were reported as
low as % at Moose Jaw, where consid-
cradle grain is still too green to cut.
There was an advance of three cents
in the local market today, which, in adj
dition to the advance of three cents yes
terday, brings the price paid for No. l
wheat up to $I.l4. This is higher than
was paid at any time during August.
This will result in another rush to dis
pose of grain on the part of the farm
ers, no doubt.

way, but be republicans through and
through"
In speaking of the national issues, Mr.
Grimshaw maintained that protective
tariff means high wages and prosperity
and free trade means low wages and
hard times. Free trade or extreme re-
vision of the tariff, he said, would strike
the workingman harder than any one
else. He was not in favor of revising
the tariff upward" like Congressman
McCleary, but he thought it was best to
leave it alone for the present.

Vladivostock, March IA fleet OF
five Japanese battleships and two cru
isers appeared off this place at 1928
O'Clock in the afternoon and lombard
ed the town and shore batteries for IS
minutes. The fleet approached from
the direction of Askold island, at the
east entrance to Ussuri bay and about
81 miles southeast of here. Entering
Ussuri bay, the enemy formed a line
of battle, but did not approach to a
closer range than a mile and one third.
They directed their fire against the
shore batteries and the town, but no
damage resulted, as most of their 200
lyddite shells failed to burst. The Rus
sian batteries, commanded by General
Vernotez and Artamonoff, did not re-
ply, awaiting closer approach Of the
enemy.
The Japanese fire ceased at 2:2O p.
m. and the enemy retired in the d.
rection of Askold island. Simultane-
ously two torpedo boat destroyers ap-
peared near Askold island and two
more near Cape Maidel. The Japan
csc ships were covered with ice. Tho
attack resulted in no loss to the Rus
slams, but cost the enemy 100000 rou-
bles ($100,000) in ammunition. Most
of the projectiles were and IL inch
shells. 49,,
The population of Vladivostok was
warned of the presence on the horizon
of the Japs and the prospect of attack
during the day, but it remained tran
quill.
Private advices say that five Rus
slams were killed, four sailors and the
wife of an engineer. 1t is apparent the
Japanese were afraid to risk exposing
their ships to the plunging fire Of the
land batteries, and it is considered
probable at st. Petersburg that the
attack was reaiiy for the purpose OF
drawing the fire of the Russian forts,
compelling the Russians to disclose the
position and.calibre OF their guns and
for the purpose of ascertaining wheth-
er the Russian squadron is in port. II
this was the object of the Japanese !.
is believed to have failed signally, as
the batteries did not fire a shot and if
the squadron is in port. it could not be
seen from the Japanese position in the
bay of Ussuri on account of the high
land which rises from the coast on that
side, obstructing the view Of the har-
