OOssSS
Business For All ON the Coast.
A high official of the Northern Pa
cific is authority for the statement that
the advent Of the Milwaukee road to
the Pacific coast will not be opposed
by the Hill system. The Northern
Pacific and Great Northern roads are
unable to handle the present business
to the coast with all their facilities
taxed to the utmost, and even IL the
two roads owned sufficient freight
cars to handle the business, they
would be unable to operate any more
trains over their lines to and from
the coast than are run at present.
During the heaviest season of traffic
train passes through the Stampede
tunnel ever twenty minutes and that
is all the business the trackage facil-
tiles of the road will afford. or the
EAST few years there has been con-
slant complaint of shortage of cars
on both roads. Each year both roads
have increased the number of cars un-
til the capacity of the trains has been
reached, but despite this fact the car
shortage has not decreased. The
number of cars used by the Great
Northern alone in the lumber traffic
was so per cent greater in 1905 than
in the previous year. Double tracks
are being constructed from the Twin
Cities westward and will in due course
of time be extended west through
North Dakota in an effort to handle
the rapidly increasing business. The
construction of the 500 in the north
enr part of the state parallel to the
Great Northern has not relieved the

TRUNK LINE TO GULF.

Hartman Credited With Intention TO
Build Last Link Into Duluth.
1t is reported on seemingly reliable
authority that the Duluth, st. Cloud,
Glencoe & Mankato Railway company
has passed into the control of the Har-
riman interests and that the Illinois
Central road will operate the line
when it is completed.
1t is further said that the road will
be built through to Duluth, making
direct connection between the head of
the lakes and the Gulf of Mexico,
forming trunk line with no single
competitor.
One of the directors of the Duluth,
st. Cloud, Glencoe & Mankato road
was asked yesterday about this report
and replied that he. would not be sur
prised If it proved true.

BROKE SEALS
ON CARS
Farmer Near Fargo Has Merry Time
on Freight While Enroute from De.
troit to Fargo-Brc:1e Seals on Eight
Cars But Was Released.

When a west bound freight train
on the Northern Pacific pulled into
Fargo from Detroit last evening about
$3.50 o'clock a heavy built man over
six feet tall and dressed in working
mans clothes jumped of, the side of
a freight car after scrambling down
the iron ladder and started on a run
up Broadway He was captured by
some of the train hands and Officers
Costello and Pearl and taken to the
station on suspicion of having broken
number of seals on freight cars.
Several of the train hands declared
that when the train left Detroit all
the seals on the cars were in proper
condition, but on arrival in Fargo
eight seals were broken and the, man
captured was the only stranger ON the
train. He claimed that he had rid
din on top of freight car from De-
troit and had nothing to do with
breaking the seals on any car. Asked
why he had attempted to run away
when he noticed an officer after him
he replied that he was in hurry
Closer examination disclosed that he
was a farmer residing some distance
west Of the city. No one had seen
him break any seal and SO far as the
train men were able to discover no
article was taken from any of the cars.
After some parleying at the station
and questioning of the man, Captain
Mcdonald concluded there was not
enough evidence to warrant holding
the man and he was discharged. The
seriousness of the offense, it being
punishable by penitentiary sentence,
made the train men hesitate to swear
out complaint.

Belated Coast Train.


Train No. 8 on the North Pacific did
not reach this city yesterday until II
o'clock. The delay was occasioned by
late eastern connections into St. Paul.
On this train it was the beginning of Il
weekly tourist car service between
Winnipeg and Portland, Ore, and Los
Angeles. The car will leave Winnipeg
every Thursday and will connect with
the west bound coast train Friday
morning at Winnipeg Junction. The
car will take care of the colonist bust
ness, and will prove convenient for
coast passengers leaving Grafton,
Grand Forks and Crookston-especial
ly those availing themselves of the
special colonist rates which went into
effect today.

Rumor Says A. B. Wolvin Will Retire

NunlOr SayS "A. Ii. WOlVln Will Retire
From Great Lake Line.
An unconfirmed report is afloat in
Duluth that Capt. a. B. Wolvin will
not manage the Great Lakes, st. Law
renee line of steamers this season.
Captain Wolvin is out of the city
which precludes definite information
from that source. However, those
close to the situation, when asked to
verify the report last night, did so to
the extent of saying that the boats
would not be managed in Duluth, a
statement which practically amounts
to an admission that the report is true.
1t is known that q change of man
agement has been contemplated for
some time.

III ! E PATHE[IIC
DETAILS
ia Fargo Forums 1'sl Story Of the Tragedy
dithe Death Of Engineer Rhodes At
Lisbon bon The Sad End Of One Of the
Veteran Railroad Men Of Northwest.

The Fargo Forum had the following
to say Saturday night Of the death
OF Engineer Rhodes:
Nathaniel H. Rhodes, a veteran en-
gineer on the Northern Pacific, lost
his life in a horrible manner at Lis
bon. Friday afternoon at 8 o'clock. In
the course of his work as engineer in
charge Of the pumping station, at Lis
bon, he was caught in the betting at
tached to the main shaft OF the fly
wheel Of the gasoline engine which
operated the pump for filling the
water tank at that station. Engineer
Rhodes was badly mangled and sue
combed to his injuries in the ambu-
lance as the unfortunate man was be-
ing conveyed to the hospital.
About the time stated agonizing
cries were heard from the pumping
station engine room, by man who
4 was in the vicinity. and rushing over
to the building hewas Mortified to dis
cover Mr.. Rhodes revolving about the
n main shaft of the engine. The latter
was stopped as soon as possible and
the injured man removed from his ter
I'ible position. How Mr.. Rhodes came
to be caught in the machinery can
only be conjectured. He was wearing
a knit Jacket and It is presumed that
he was caught in the machinery az he
was in the act Of examining the shaft,
or oiling 1t. The garment was torn
from the body and was tightly wound
about the shaft. The injured man was
unconscious when discovered in his
precarious position and be never re-
vived.
The terrible accident has caused a
deep gloom among Northern Pacific
employees generally, for not one of the
Old-time families was more respected
and held in higher esteem than that OF
Nathaniel H. Rhoades. A coroner's en-
quiry, was in progress at Lisbon to-
day. and It is expected that the body
will be brought to Fargo for inter-
ment this evening on the southwest
ern train.
Mr.. Rhodes. who was 20 years of
age, was a Mason, a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and a veteran of the civil war, serv-
ing in the capacity of an engineer. For
more than forty years he has continu-.
ously been in the railroad service,
twenty years in the employ of the
Northern Pacific. He say considerable
service in Minnesota.
About six months ago, on account of
his advanced age, he was relieved
from active duty on the road and plac-
ed In charge Of the water station at

THRIVE ON THE FUMES

Eighteen Husky Witnesses Appear to
Testify How Their Health Has
Been Damaged.

OAKLAND, Sept. 25.-The third trial
of former School Director E. A Moody
on a charge of maintaining a nuisance
in the shape of laundry and cleaning
establishment in East Oakland was be-
gun today in the Police Court. Spe-
cial Prosecuting Attorney James A.
Johnson sought to prove by the testi-
mony of number of residents in the
neighborhood of the laundry that the
establishment was menace to health
and was a source of extreme discom-
fort to persons living within a quarter
of mile of ii.
Attorney James Greeley, for the de-
fense. made an offer to put the cleaning
plant in full operation and to take the
members of the jury to visit the place
and Judge for themselves whether or
not the complaint was we'll founded.
r. D. Baker, one of the witnesses fo,
the prosecution, alleged that, because
of the laundry, the health of residents
of the neighborhood was impaired. This
brought Greeley to his feet with an in
quiry as TO whether the eighteen wom-
en- in the courtroom who had appeared
TO testify against Moody were a fair
representation of the residents sup
posed to have b4en made i'll by the
fumes of the place. Baker answered
that they were. All the witnesses ap-
peared to be enjoying good health.

Infantry. commanding the Department
Of the Columbia, recommends that Fort
Davis De abandoned and that the COM
pany Of infantry now there be sent

The disregarding of a similar recon

ditiOn Of military affairs in Alaska
He directs attention to the fact that
several of the organizations in Alaska
are short OF commissioned officers.
He urges the necessity for the main
tenance in Alaska Of a regiment of in
fantry with a full complement of Of
ieers and men.
Colonel Noble points out that extra
duty pay is forbidden in Alaska be-
cause ali soldiers serving there re-
ceive 20 per cent additional pay. which
in ordinary cases amounts to about 50
q month. On account Of the unusual
amount OF extra duty necessary to be
performed by rne soldiers in Alaska,
especially along the stretches of tele
graph lines. he recommends that legis-
lation he urged permitting extra duty
pay to soldiers in Alaska when per-
forming the same class of labor for
which extra duty pay is allowed in
