message-..extraordinary delays in NOV
1ng-ls incorrect so far as this COM
pany is concerned.
Not Enough Coal Produced.
1.-THE difficulty in Montana, Idaho
and Washington is that not enough coal
Is being produced to supply promptly
the increased domestic trade and at the
same time furnish the arailroads with
fuel Tor the operation Of their trains.
linen IN November unprecedented floods
damaged our track so that trains could
not move over important parts of the
road Tor more than week, and num-
per OF important coal mines could not
be reached. This flood damage compli-
Gated the situation. -
In North Dakota and Minnesota
the difficulty in part is due to trying to
move too much fuel in very short
time, and IN part to an increase in the
consumption of fuel that is greater
than the increase in facilities for han
ding, moving and storing it. Also to
general increase in the movement Of
miscellaneous commodities which can
not be ignored without subjecting our
selves to charge of discrimination.
Coal Now Given Preference.
For a month, particular attention
has been given to the movement of coal
and that commodity is now being given
preference both as ito cars and SER
vice., We know of only one case on
our line in North Dakota where there
has been serious difficulty, and believe
that has been relieved. ..&.>s
1.-The very serious blizzard Of the
last few days I'M North Dakota has
caused delays because of snow block
ades,, and it has been difficult to move
freight promptly for that reason. I
shall 81 be glad if you will name in detail
the complaints in territory served by
our lines SO that we may take up each
one and do the best we can to furnish
relief: We have in a. number of cases
turned over company coal to protect
local demands and we11are doing every
thing we can to take care Of the situa-
ton and will continue to do so.''

Public land protection was also
given attention and the governor
spoke upon the untangling of the

people of $4,000 acres. Another
strong point put before the people
was the fact that he has made a
loan of over half a million from the

instead Of allowing it to lie idle in
the public treasury. He sroae at

1t Is feared that the woman's
mind will be permanently lost. 1t
may be necessary in the morning
in an effort to quiet her to take her
to the cemetery to show her that
the grave has not been disturbed.
She declares that il che is not pres
ent at the resurrection she will be
punished for her infidelity.
At the morgue and at the ceme-
tary she showed no sign of sorrow,
telling the police matron that her
husband would arise Sunday.
The police matron, who is used
to insanity in all its forms, declares
that Mrs. Creffield's condition today
and tonight is the saddest sight che
has ever seen. The woman has not
become violent, but 1t Is feared she
might. The fact that Mrs, Creffield
has been in the insane asylum in
Oregon in the midst of the frantic
demonstrations of the Holy Rollers,
makes the officers believe that her
condition may become permanent.
For a time the police matron at.
tempted to convince her that her
belief in her husbands resurrection
was ridiculous and that there was
no use, of her going to the. Cemetery
to witness his resurrection from
death. Mrs. Creheld, however,
would not pay any heed to the ma
irons arguments. She declared
she knew, as did all Crefield's fol-
lowers, that he could not die; that
he was Christ and that 1t was fore
ordained that the Sunday after his
burial ne would rise again and
show himself to the world that he
was really Christ.
Since the shooting Mrs. Cr. f.
field has received letters from some
of the faithful in Oregon assuring
her that her husband would
again rise from the dead. The
nsmes of the correspondents were
withheld from all the newspapers
at the request of the police matrop.
A letter from Distriet.Attorney
Manning did much to make una ni-
nous the public sentiment tnat
Mitchell should be liberated even
without trial. The declaration
of Prosecuting Attorney Mackln-
tosh that be would prosecute Mitch
ell as any other murderer is looked
upon as an unfortunate incident.
If Mitchell had been allowed bail
today a number Of prominent clti-
zens were willing to furnish securi-
ty upwards of $4,000.
In the light of the fact that other
judges have allowed murderers ball i,
1t has led the public to look with
disfavor On Judge Frater's refusal
to allow Mitchell bail. It is very
certain that Mitchell if tried wlll
be acquitted by a jury. No ma =,
although many have tried. has ever
been convicted here for numbering e
