COUNTER MOVE PLANNED.
MINNEAPOLIS NEXT YEAR MAY
ADVERTISE CHEAPER fare AS
INDICTMENT TO FAIR VISITORS.

Business men Of Minneapolis are gen
orally agreed on the reason which leads
the Northern Pacific to advertise the
state fair as St. Paul attraction.
Their tickets are sold from country sta
tions at 30 cents more to st. Paul than
to Minneapolis. Naturally, the roads
want the extra 30 cents, and therefore
advertise the rates to st. Paul instead
of to Minneapolis.
1t has been suggested that, to over
come the effect of this advertising, the
Commercial club announce, previous to
the fair next fall, in all the country
newspapers, that railway tickets to the
fair can be bought at 80 cents less to
Minneapolis than to st. Paul. All the
club wants is dissemination of this
knowledge, allowing the excursionists
to choose for themselves which destina.
ton they want.
E. J. Westlake, secretary Of the Com
mercial club, who has been interesting
himself in the matter, said today:
From purely business standpoint
can blame the railroads for getting
all they can. The fare being 80 cents
more to st. Paul and not costing the
| roads any more to earn it, which would
mean several hundred dollars during
fair week, naturally they would want tt
sell tickets for the maximum figure

New York Sun Special Service.
Omaha, Neh., Sept. 6.-Julius Krutt-
schnitt, director of maintenance and
ways of the Hartman system, states
that the next twelve months will see
many improvements in the Union Pa
cifc. Mr.. Kruttschnitt says:
"The big shops Of the company at
Omaha, on which $1,OOO,OO0 was spent
under President Burt s regime, will be
still further enlarged and additions
made thereto. Work on these additions
will begin this fall. The plans are now
nearly finished. j.
"In the coming year 100 miles at
t least Of Union Pacific main line will
be double-tracked. We are now at
work replacing light steel with ninety
pound rails. The roadbed everywhere
| is being put in frst-class shape, and we
are spending and will continue to spend
lot of money in putting Union Pa
cifc in the best possible condition.
''Also the Union Pacific will inaugu:
rate train service between Omaha and
Kansas City upon the completion of the
Topeka Marysville cutoff, now under
construction. Our line will be not much
longer than other roads between the
two cities and the Omaha-Kansas City
runs is VIGOROUSLY slow one. Gu,
time between the two cities will be as
fast as that Of our competitors. Forty
miles Of the Marysville cutoff is nov
finished and work is being pushed rap
idly on the other part.'

FINISHING SURVEY
Abbott Closing Up Work Between Be

Special to The Journal.
Bemidji, Sept. 6.-The railroad sur
vey being made by Engineer E. T. Alb
bott of Minneapolis, between Bemidji
and Detroit will be completed within
ten days. The surveying party from
Detroit is now at the lower end of Lit
the Valley lake, while Mr.. Abbott today
joined the party working out from Be-
midi at Suker lake. The two parties
are twelve miles apart. A delegation
of business men from Park Rapids yes
terday waited upon Mr.. Abbott here
in an endeavor to secure a survey from
Park Rapids northwest to Thief River
Falls. Information as to the railroad
in whose interest the survey is being
made is absolutely lacking. Mr.. Alb.
bolt said this morning that this would
be announced shortly after the com,
pletion Of the survey.
Dempsey & Dougherty, who had the
contract for the construction Of The
Wilton & Northern road, twelve miles
north Of Wilton, have completed thei1
contract and today shipped their equip
ment to Minneapolis, where they have
taken a contract for the 500 west Of

GOAL SALES ARE
COMING SLOWLY
LESS COAL IN PRIVATE BINS NOW
THAN USUAL.
People Feel Security Because No Labor
Troubles Are Threatened, and Don It
Seem Affected by the Regular Month
ly Raise in Prices-Coal Papers Dis
cuss 'Murmurings.

Lulled into feeling of security over
labor conditions in the eastern coal
fields following the settlement of two
years ago, people have not been buy
ing hard coal rapidly or to any great
extent this season. In fact, one lead
ing sales agent reports that there is
less coal in the bins at the present mo-
ment than for many fall. The addi-
ton of 10 cents month to price of
the coal has not brought sales, and the
dealers are still waiting for customers
to come in and get their winter supply
of hard fuel. ?
The coal trade papers report that 1t
is absurd to talk of an excess supply
of hard coal. The requirements are
greater than before, and the tonnage
| of 100000 a month is not more out
of proportion to the needs Of the coun.
try now than half that quantity was
in the cost Of coal this winter, and it
| is possible that the price may 90 above
1915 a ton-the price that has been
standard for several winters. Another
is the possibility of strike.
The Coal Trade Journal says: "One
may find discussions on the price of
coal going on in many papers, and these
not 'yellows'; there is murmuring, it is
said, by one prominent paper. What
this murmuring may eventually amount
to is problematical, but it is feared
that much is certain. It is to be feadel
as much in behalf Of the public itself
as by the coal operators who are tc
blame for present conditions, because
the danger is that, finally goaded tt
desperation, the people will attempt t.
tax 9 the remedy into their own hands
and, with the usual results Of giving
way to reactory impulse, will go toe
far and provide a remedy that will TURF
out to be worse than the disease. Fol
instance, it is probably safe to say
that the great majority of the average
thoughtful citizens do not believe in thu
idea Of government ownership of mines
But it is plain to be seen that just
such a short-sighted policy on the par
of the operators as keeps the price
where it is, will drive the people tt
do something Of that kind, unless, hap
PLY, some cheap substitute for coal o.
some substitute for our general heating
scheme Of the present day is discov
cred in the meantime.O
