Sevral business gentlemen OF Holly
Springs have organized a company to
build and operate a large brick fac

State are especially fine for such pur-
poses, n of the largest pottery

Greenwood is not satisfied with
what she has and positively refuses
to sit down and be quiet. Although
pretty we'll supplied with hotels at
present, a large stock company is be-
ing organized to build a larger and
better hotel. And this is only one of
the progressive movements on foot in
that hustling Delta municipality.

DEALERS WILL STAND PAT
IMPLEMENT MEN REFUSE TO
RECOGNIZE FARMERS EX-
CHANGE AS ENTITLED TO
WHOLESALE PRICES.

Local implement dealers say they are
not Worrying over the charges which
have been preferred against the Min
nesota Retail Implement Dealers as.
ISOLATION by, the Minnesota Farmers
exchange. The Farmers exchange con-
planned to the governor that the deal
ers' association has issued letter ask
ing members of the association not to
sell to members of the exchange. The
dealers state that such action would be
perfectly natural and proper, and that
they do not see where the attorney
general, to whom the complaint has
been referred, can find any cause for
action.
The Retailers association was
formed last March for >the protection
of dealers in the implement business.
The Farmers exchange is an organlza-
ton which tends to eliminate the re-
taller, and is, therefore. hardly an IN
stitution which the retailers would care
to support. The exchange has district
members buy their machinery and other
goods thru him. In this way they claim
Wholesale prices and in many instances
are able to get them.
Some time ago T. F. Murphy Of Lit.

association, wrote to all the local job

iobbers replied that they were not IN
favor Of the exchange and would not
sell it. These letters in turn, it is
stated were combined in a letter. to
the members of the retail association
and it is copy of this letter which
has caused the complaint to the gov
ernor.
The jobbers and the retailers assert
that in taking action against the ex
change and asking their members moi
to sell to members of the. exchange
they are merely protecting. themselves
If the members Of the Farmers ex
change wish to buy implements at the
regular retail price they can get them
If they wish to get them at wholesale

BIG FREIGHT AUTOMOBILE
BUTIED A S1REETCAR

One of the big automobile trucks of
the Pillsbury-W ashburn company col
lided with streetcar at the intersec-
ton of Main street and Central ave-
nue. at 8 O'Clock this morning. The
truck was not damaged. 1T was the
car that jumped.
The truck, heavily loaded with -four,
came down Main street toward Central
avenue. The driver could not see the
approaching car on the east bound
track. He was watching another car
on the west-bound track. He started
to beat the west-bound car to the right
side of the street and pulled in front
of the east bound car. There was a
lively changing of bells and the driver
of the truck turned it partially aside
on to the car and endeavored to get out
of the way. The west-bound car was
threatening to ram the truck in the
rear, but the driver stuck by the big
machine
The motormen turned on the air I'M
til the cars danced, but the east-bound
car had too much speed and struck the
big van. a
The truck never budged. The car
came to a sudden stop and the passen-
gers sat up straighter than they had
intended to. The truck rolled out of
harm s way and across the bridge. The
car had merely Scared the bumpbar
on the auto, and had it been going
faster, would doubtless have had much
the worst of the collision.

IYENAGA'S LAST LECTURE
He Will Discuss 1.-THE East and the
West'' Tonight.

The Stanley Hall lyceum course closes
tonight at the First Unitarian church
with a lecture by the eminent lecturer,
Dr. Toyokichi Iyenaga, now Of the Uni
versity Of Chicago. This course of six
lectures has been one of the finest
courses Of lectures given in Minneapolis
for years. Besides being an exceed
ingly witty speaker, DR.. Iyenaga pos.
esses wide and intimate knowledge Of
eastern affairs, which, coupled with his
college training in the United States,
makes him competent to compare the
two civilizations somewhat fairly.
His subject tonight is "'The East and
the West" in which he discusses the
revolutionary influences of the. Russo
Japanese war; the problems raised by
the closer contact of the east and the
west; the fundamental principles that
separate the east from the west; the
differences in the aptitudes Of the east,
ern and western mind, and the slgn1fi;,
canoe of the present contact, caused
by the Russo-Japanese war.

FLOWING BY TROLLEY
FOR NEW CAR LINE

Flowing by electricity is the newest
use to which the "iuice' has been put.
It is being done in Minneapolis by the
street railway company. Residents and
line have been commenting on the
scheme and while it is a success as
practiced now. it is hardly possible that
the farm horse will be run out of bust
ness for while at least.
In building the new Lake street line
single track and wire were placed
first, for the purpose of distri buting
material for the completing of the
work. When it came to breaking the
ground for the other track, the en-:
gineers conceived the novel idea Of
blowing by trolley car. An outriNge1
was built on one Of the big supply cars
and pillow attached. All that is
necessary now, is to keep the current
on and steer the pillow. There are nc
stons for rest, nor does it make any
difference how hard the ground is.

6. n. kNIFEs GRAIN RATES.
Sweeping Cuts Made in District East
of Montana.

OF MOuIdIia'
inst as the movement of the grain
oron is about to begin the Great Nor
thorn railroad has announced sweep
ing reduction in grain rates through
out its eastern territory, extending 10
the boundary of Montana Three years
ago the road made important reduc-
lions in the western section. The new
rates, it is claimed, will add millions
TO the potential resources OF the Iar-
mers of the northwest
The reduction is not made, 1t is
claimed, in pursuance of any pressure
hut as a voluntary act and in the
words of an official, "a profit sharing
policy of the road between the rail-
road and the tillers of the soil OF the
northwest mat has been fundamental
in the management of the Great Nor
thern."
This reduction of rates ranges from
5 cents per 100 pounds from the most
distant points to a half cent from
points nearer the Twin Cities and the
head of navigation on the great lakes.
From Williston, N. D., distant from
the head of navigation GIG miles, the
reduction is cents per 100 pounds.
'The meaning of these reductions
to farmers of the northwest is some
thing more than the winning of bat
tie or the signing of some advantage
GUS commercial treaty" said a promi-
nent railroad official. ut affects the
entire grain product of the northwest,
for the same rates have been met by
the Northern Pacific and must be met
by every other line doing business in
the same territory and tributary to
it. You can not tell how far a move
ment like this will reach. 1t will mean
saving of more than 10000, 900 bush
els to the ordinary market. This foots
up 100000 to 100000 that will
remain in the pockets of the farmers,
of which the Great Northern will con-
tribute at least one half.
This movement is not only volun-
tary, but the revenue thus RENTED
can not be made good from any other
source. There can be and is intended
to be no increase of rates elsewhere
to correspond. Moreover, it is made
in the face of the fact that in the
three years that have elapsed since
the last reduction of rates was made
the pay of employees in the various de-
partments of the system has been ma
terially advanced, adding that much
to the cost of operation"
These rates are made in competition
with the 500 Line and Canadian Pa
ciic, and astound the officials of these
roads, who are at loss to understand
its meaning. Railroad men say that
President Hill has determined to make
war on the 500 and his old time bust
ness enemy, Tom Lowry, president of
the road.

ARsITRATIoN IS lie PLAN.
Feature Of Presidents Proposal t,
Baron De Rosen,

Baron De Rosens
Portsmouth, N H., Aug. 21.--It is
announced that the feature of the
proposition of President Roosevelt,
communicated through Baron de Ro-
sen to NJ White, and by the latter to
the emperor Of Russia, was based on
the principle OF arbitration. Whether
the president contemplates arbitration
of all of the articles on which the plen-
ipotentiaries have failed to agree or
only on the question of indemnity can
not be stated with positiveness, but it
is more than probable that it relates
only to indemnity or to indemnity and
the cession of the island of Sakhalin.
Neither is it possible to say whether
the president has yet made similar
proposal to Japan. The customary
diplomatic proceedings in such case
would be to submit the proposal stimuli
taneously to both countries, but there
might be an advantage in securing the
adherence of one before submitting it
to the other. To Emperor Nicholas,
the author of The Hague peace confer
ence, the suggestion of arbitration,
which will necessarily Immediately
command the sympathy Of the public
opinion of the world, will be particu-
larly hard to reject. If he agrees,
Japan, if she has not already done
so. will be all the more bound to sub
NIT her claim to the decision of an
impartial arbitrator.
Acceptance by both sides would in
volye great extension of the princi-
pie of arbitration, as nations have
heretofore declined to arbitrate on
questions involving their honor and
dignity" Both Mr.. Takahira and M.
White, in the early stages Of the con-
ference, absolutely rejected the idea
of arbitration, and only yesterday both
reiterated their disbelief in such so
luton. 1t was noticed, however, that
M Whites opinion was not expressed
as strongly as it was last week.
