COUNCIL; MEET
TONIGHT
In Adjourned Standardization Of Ad.
ditfonal Ward to the City-Rate for
Light and Other Questions to Come
I'm.

The council will meet tonight in adj
joulned session and several matters
of Importance will take up the atten-
ton of that body.
1t is likely that petition will be
presented asking that another ward
be added to the city by the division of
the Second into two wards. This,
however, will meet with some opposi-
ton and it is not thought that any
action will be taken at present
The matter of lighting will also be
considered and an ordinance fixing
the maximum price to be charged for
gas at $1.S5 per thousand, and the
minimum at $l.45.
The terms of six OF the aldermen of
the city expire this year, and at least
seven will be elected at the municipal
election in April, two from the Fifth
ward, occasioned by the death of
the late T. J. McMu!len.
The creation of Seventh ward out
of the present Second ward would in
crease the number of aldermen to be
elected at the coming election, and
would probably necessitate the cleo
ton of two members from each of the
wards affected.
The aldermen who terms expire this
year are Aid. ScLultheis, Freeman,
Sprague. Canniff, Moran and Lynch.

STANDARD OH, CASE
in SUPREME COURT
Attorney General Hadey Submits Brief Urging The Court
10 Compel II. H. Rogers to Answer
Questions.

New York, Jan. 16.-Attorney Cen
eral Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri
declared in a brief which was SUBJ
mitted to Justice Gildersleeye in the
New York state supreme court yes
terday that the question of the ma
teriality of such questions as he has
asked H. H. Rogers in the Standard
Oil hearing in this city is not now
pending in the Missouri supreme
court. The brief was filed in answer
to a contention by Standard Oil coun-
sci that the New York state supreme
court ought not to decide whether Mr.
Rogers shall be compelled to answer
Mr.. Hadley's questions because prac-
tlcally the same question is pending
before the Missouri courts. The ques-
tons are whether the stock of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana, the
Waters-Pierce Oil company and the
Republic Oil company are held by the
same person or corporation.
Mr.. Hadley's brief was submitted
by Henry Wellman, his local counsel.

year. There are eight dealers. You
can see how much they make Take
out of this the bad accounts and there
is not living In the business done
by any coal firm in the city.
During my experience four dealers
have gone out of business In Grand
Forks because they could not make
the business pay enough to bother
with 1t. Take, for instance, the Rob
erston Lumber company They have
the most complete equipment for
handling coal there is in the city,
large sheds, ETC., centrally located, yet
they went out of the business The
coal and lumber business goes nicely
together, and yet the Robertson Lum-
Der company contends that they got
so many bad accounts and had so
much trouble collecting that they quit
the business and are letting their
sheds go unused and their equipment
earn nothing. The profits did not
warrant fOOling with it.
Smaller towns sell coal SO cents
cheaper than Grand Forks. This is
easily accounted for. Most Of 1t is
sold in large lots to farmers or local
business men who get it directly from
the cars. 1t is largely handled by ele-
vator companies, etc. and they do not
trust anybody, it is a strictly cash
business. Moreover, it costs more to
live in Grand Forks; we must pay big
ger taxes, contribute to all public en-
terprises and help push the city along.
We must have a little bigger margin
as we'll as the other business men who
do not do large volume of business ("

Dear john tJj% ~.
You were fortunate indeed that you

THE COAL SITUATION
Local Dealer Gives The Reason For Coal BEING so Gents Ton
More Here Than II Other Cities in North Dakota
---Small Margin Of Profit

There has been much said by the
press Of Grand Forks and the peo-
pie generally, apropos the question Of
the price Of coal and the alleged COM
bine Of fuel dealers In restraint OF
trade and fixing an unfair and unlaw-.
full price. There Is usually much talk
among people when their pocketbooks
are touched and the price OF some
absolutely necessary commodity scars
upward. There can be no question
but that the price Of coal In Grand
Forks is much higher. than 1t should
be to the actual consumer; but where
Hes the blame? Ii is not altogether
with the local retail dealers; the
wholesale dealers ard the coal barons
are mostly to blame, while the i'm
providence and dishonesty Of the con-
sumner is not an unimportant factor.
The, poor man gets the better of the
deal In Grand Forks, while the man
who buys in large quantities gets the
better of the small consumer In the
adjoining towns. .s
The proposed investigation of the
situation by States Attorney j. b..
Wineman causes most Of the dealers
to smile; they say that Jake is hav-,
ing one of his little jokes to please
the public. However, Jake looks at
the matter in different light He
says the county commissioners of
Ward county thought he was joking,
but they have seen "a new light and
the joke Is becoming SO, serious that
it looks as. If 1t might terminate in
Bismarck. The, states attorney says
that the matter will come before the
grand jury. Z
A local coal dealer made the fol-
owing interesting statement to The
Evening Times today: Il am sure
that 1t the people Of Grand Forks un-
derstOod the situation here that they
would not find so much fault with
the coal dealers. We do not realize
more than so cents ton for the coal
we handle. Ten dollars a car for
handling coal is surely not an excess
stve profit when it is considered that
we have to sell much of it on time
and necessarily get many. bad ac-
counts.

livered from the sleighs in baskets,
1t will be seen that we have not much
Of margin to cover losses through
poor accounts. The credit system In
vogue in Grand Forks and other towns
the same size, Is not small factor
in making the price of coal unusual
~ high. We necessarily loose many
accounts and when. it Is considered
that our profit is but so cents to the
ton. q loss Of 500 knocks out big
bunch Of profits.
I'VE figure that 1t costs us a dollar
ton to deliver coal. Just now /
sent q team with two men over into
East Grand Forks with a quarter Of
a ton. This morning we delivered $50
pounds over there. Nearly all of 1t
has to be carried into Easements and
sheds in baskets. With Office expenses,
advertising, etc, 1t costs all of dol
lar a ton to handle it.
Last year we tried to charge extra
as they do in Crookston and other
towns for deliveries made with bas-
kets. but the people would not stand
for It. Now we charge everybody the
same price. The man who gets $50
pounds gets 1t at the same rate as
the man who buys ten tons If we de-
liver 1T. In other towns they make
extra charges for small lots.
Coal used for manufacturing pur-
poses comes direct from the whole
salers to the consumers. We do not
handle 1t, as they can buy it as cheap.
~ as we can. All used for heating
purposes comes through the local deal
ers. II 1t Is unloaded by the consumer
from the car and hauled by him, we
charge a brokerage Of Is cents a ton.
II we unload 1t into sheds before they
haul it away we add is cents ton.
Anyone who will buy, anthracite coal
in car lots and pay cash, can
get it delivered on the tracks here for
$500 a ton. Few avail themselves of
the opportunity, and yet if the public
is being robbed, why do a number of
people not go In together and buy
their coal this way. Soft coal costs
$500 a load down here and we sell it
In the same way. The consumer then
stands the shrinkage; in retailing it
In small lots we stand it and it
amounts to considerable.
There is not enough business done
by any coal dealer in Grand Forks
to make a living out of it If he did
not have some other business in con-
nection with 1t. There are probably
between 10000 and 10000 tons of coal
used annually for heating purposes in
East and West Grand Forks. With q
margin of so cents per ton this gives

FOR RELIEF OF
FIREMEN
crookston Fire Fighter Gives Opinion,
ON Steenerson's Attitude in Matter
Of Foreign Insurance Companies.


The Crookston Journal publishes
communication from Thomas R. John
stone, the well-known fire fighter of
that city who has often visited in East
Grand Forks, which will be of interest
to readers of the Evening Times, as
1t pertains to the state control of for
eign insurance companies.
The article follows:
ITO the Editor of the Crookston Daily
Journal: :
Mr.. Editor: / would ask that you
give space in your valuable paper for
the following communication. 1 have
just received a letter from Hon. Hal
vor Stevenson of Washington with
number Of copies of that honorable
gentleman's speech in the house of
representatives on Tuesday, December
10, 1906, on the distribution of the
presidents message on federal regu-
lation of insurance. This is question
l have been for years interested in
and wrote Mr.. STEVENSON last year on
the proposed federal control of insur-
ance and pointed out how greatly it
would endanger the revenues now de-
rived by fire department relief asso-
Citations throughout the state and
asked our congressman, Mr.. STEINER
son, on behalf of the disabled firemen
and their widowsNand orphans and fire
departments in general to be on the
watch for anything that might arise
by way of direct bill or any amend
ment whereby the state control of for
e1gn insurance companies might be
Jeopardized and promptly get on to it
and use his best efforts to Illustrate
Its purpose and defend the rights of
the firemen, not only Of his own, the
Ninth congressional district, but every
fireman In the state of Minnesota.

tanned the very thing we firemen
dreaded, the advisability of placing all
insurance under the supervision of the
commissioner of corporations in the

SCHUMACHER
e.. A WINNER
Fast Local Skater Wins From Other
Athletes With A. johnson Second
]. Allrick and Miss DeWeese Win
Race for Couples.

hACC SOuUleSs
Last night amidst the enthusiastic
cheers of a large crowd, Theodore
Schumacher darted like an arrow past
the judges at the Dacotah ice rink,
outstripping A. Johnson, who was a
close second, and winning the amateur
state championship for a half mile in
the time of 1870.
The race was good one with five
entries, but Schumacher had it we'll
in hand, though crowded by johnson
at the corners, where the latter show
ed clever and rapid stroke in making
the short turn. The race had five en-
tries, viz, Schumacher, Allrick, A.
Johnson, Sorenson, Art ingalls, and d.
Barnard
At the pistol the men were off like
a flash, but Schumacher quickly DEM
onstrated his speed and there was no
time during the race when he was in
danger of defeat. Grand Forks has
some good amateur skaters, and with
training they will develop speed, max
ing them formidable rivals of any in
the state who aspire to championship
hOnOrS. The second heat was a repi-
tition of the first, the men finishing in
the same order. The time for the first
heat was /: rs and that of the second,
1870.
In the barrel race, w. Campbell
won, with Fl. Henry close second
This race caused much amusement,
as the skaters were obliged to skate
in and out between barrels and there
were numerous bumps in consequence
The race for couples, lady and gen.
tleman, was won by J. Alreck and
Miss Florence De Weese, with Theo-
dOre Schumacher and Miss Nellie
Alderman second and Mr.. A. ingalls,
and Miss Agnes Leonard third. The
young ladies are graceful skaters and
glided over the smooth ice like light
ming, fairly leading their escorts at
times
The entire program was carried out
in very commendable manner and re-
fleets credit upon the manager, T. Nc
Gregor, as well as'J. w. Lyons, the
we'll known sporting goods dealer who
conducted the races. The good order
and lack of anything which savors of
rOwdyism at the rink has made it a
popular place of amusement, and the
future patronage promises to be even
larger than in the past.
