ST. PAUL HAS RUMOR
OF HILL ROAD STATION
Location Picked Is Said to Be at Rear
of New State Capitol.

st. Paul believes it. also is about to
get a present Of new passenger sta
ton from the hands of it's most prom
lnent citizen, James J. Hill.
The story is that Mr.. Hill has plans
prepared for a new station to face the
new state capitol Already Mr.. Hill s
agents are reported to have secured
blocks of land lying between Park ave-
nue. and Rice street, from the present
Great Northern shops down to UniVer-
slty avenue, which is planned to be the
front of the new station.
The new location is directly on the
Como. and University avenue interur-
ban lines, as well as on three local lines
OF the street railway system, and is
only a block diagonally from the new
capitol.
The proposed new station site is four
blocks from the present right of way
of the Great Northern road extending
between the two cities. It is also no
farther from Seventh and Wabasha
streets, the downtown transfer point
IN. st. Paul and center of the retail
district, than is the present Union sta
ton; A station at the new location
would save the Great Northern trains
the haul up the heaviest grade on the
Great Northern between here and the
Rockies. y
It. is proposed that the new station
be used by the Hill roads, the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Bur.
ington.
The story goes that the new station
will be model structure in the wav
OF railway architecture, roomv. and
built size that will provide for St,
raul business for many years to come.

PEAVEY CORPORATION
TAKES OVER BUSINESS
Holding Company Succeeds to Great
Grain and Elevator Lines of Co.
partnership.

F. H. Peavey & Co., corporation,
and holding company, organized un-
der the laws of West Virginia, with a
capital Of $3,650,O0O, will succeed the
old firm of Peavey & Co. today. This
concentrates the Peavey interests into
corporate form.
The officers are George w. Peavey,
president; F. II. Heffelfnger and F. B.
Wells, vice presidents; G. F. Beaver,
secretary and treasurer; F. L. Moffatt,
assistant secretary, and F. B. Blake
ley, assistant treasurer. .. s-. .... -.
The Peavey interests were built up
by the late F.. II. Peavey, who was the
c0untry'S leading grain merchant and
one Of the Wealthiest, most eminent
and respected citizens of Minneapolis.
Various smaller companies were at
times bought by Mr.. Peavey, but these
smaller and subsidiary firms that went
to make the immense business were for
the most part corporations, and the
whole or controlling interest in them
was purchased by F. H. Peavey & Co.
That firm was not a corporation, but
a simple copartnership.
It was stipulation in the will of
Mr.. Peavey that upon expiration of this
copartnership the holding company
should be Incorporated. The copart-
nership expired by limitation on Dec.
80, 1906, and the new company sue
ceeds to the control today.

SWEDISH DANGERS COMING

The Swedish National Dancers who
are to appear at the Auditorium next
Wednesday night, JAM. 2, are the pride
and principal attraction of the Skan-
sen Photographed Gardens of Stock
holm. Altho comparatively not much
travelled, their fame is universal owing
to the fact that all tourists visiting the
Swedish capital are bound to have wit
messed one or several Of their exhibit
tions. The international press congress
assembled at the exposition of Stock
holm in the summer Of the kings jubi-
lee year Of 1897 spread their reputation
over Europe.
These fourteen people, of whom two
are s'fddlers,o present in their genu-
Inc costumes phases of cultural life in
the north, centuries old. The dances,
most Of them, date from the sixteenth
century, altho some are of much higher
antiquity, and few are adaptations
of modern dances as the rural popula-
ton has seen and adopted them. The
dance tunes are generally from heather
times, when they sung to ballads about
gods or heroes. Such song dances were
the vogue all thru the Scandinavian
north during the Viking age, and still
are performed ION the Zero islands
But old and HISTORICALLY interesting as
are these folk dances, their chief at
traction is found in their gracefuIness

CLASH THREATENED .5s .
ON VACCINATION
Health Commissioner Hall Takes No
tice of Efforts Of t.'Antis'' to Resist
His Orders. r.

In a circular issued by Mrs. l.. G.
Little, editor of The Liberator and
secretary Of the United States Consti-
tutional league, the people of this city
are urged to resist the efforts of the
board of health to enforce vaccination.
This circular is; extensively circulated
In the Peabody and jackson school dis
tricts and is prompted by the refusal
OF the board OF education to recall it's
order requiring the vaccination of the
public school children in these dis
tricts. y -
Announcement is made that exemp-
ton certificates may be had for "any
and all' children by applying to Dr..
William Russell, 300 Hennepin avenue.
It arrested for refusing vaccination or
If the child is denied admission to the
public schools a prompt report to Mrs.
Little is desired.
DIR. P. M. Hall says that he will
recognize no exemption certificate from
DR.. Russell which: are issued in accord
ance with the terms of the circular.
The state law does not provide for the
exemption Of ,s'any and ALP children,
he says, but only such children whose
health is so much inferior to the aver
age, or normal state that vaccination
are: rare, says DR.. Hall, and any at
tempt to bring all school children into
that class will result in trouble.
Mrs. Little is apparently in deadly
earnest and some interesting develop
ments may be expected in a short time

WILL ADDRESS BREEDERS
H. w. Mumford to Speak at the Agri-
cultural School, st. Anthony Park.

The farmers Of Minnesota, says
Andrew Boss of the state agricultural
school, have for many years neglected
the market end Of the livestock bust
ness. They have been willing to send
to the market anything that the farm
produced, regardless Of whether it was
finished and ready for sale or whether
it might meet any particular market de-
mand.
To give the farmers Of Minnesota a
chance to gain information on the sub
iect of marketing livestock, the Live
Stock Breeders association has secured
Professor H. w. Mumford of Urbana,
ILL.,, to deliver an address on '' Demands
of the Cattle Markell at the annual
meeting Jan. 8, 8 and 10. The address
will be given at the session held at the
Agricultural school, st. Anthony Park,
Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 8.
Professor Mumford is the author OF
two or three bulletine on the subject
of market classes of cattle and is we'll
qualified to speak from experience. His
familiarity with the Chicago live stool
market, gained thru constant associa-
ton with the commission men and
shippers at that market, as we'll as
with the packers themselves, puts him
in position to know, better than any
one not in the actual business of buying
and selling stock, just what the farmer
needs along this line
A cordial invitation is extended to
all stockmen and farmers to attend the
session and also to stay thru the after
noon and evening and gain an idea of
the work that the Breeders associa-
ton is doing.

w. r. Gillram, Frank L. Morgan, Frank
A., Reid, Charles Peterson and George
Hanson. These sales are all for acre lots.
on several of which contracts have al
ready been let to build large and hand
some residences. ......
In Oak Tress sales have been made
and cottages built for Emma Koehler, O.
,Bjorklund and H. Rusth.
T. Eleven cottages have been built in
Walton Park, all but two OF which are
sold. ..-.
Nineteen sales from Dec 1 to 20 is an
exceptionally good record, and much
larger than the ordinary December
1 Mr.. Walton considers the building of
cottages one of the best things he ever
undertook. People are always dissatis-
fled at the proposed figures of the archi-
tect, as the cottages always cost double
what the architect tells them. In this
cottage idea Of Mr.. Walton contract is
made from the start for the cottage to
cost so much, to be paid O. terms of paw
ment when completed, and built any
where in any part Of the city, on any,
body's lot. There is no question then In
the purchasers mind as to where he is
going to locate, what he gets, or how
much he pays.

TWO TOWNS TIED UP;
ONE BEGS FOR FUEL,
Berwick, N. D.. Business Men Appeal
for Relief from Coal Famine,

While reports or the lack Of reports
from the greater part of the northwest
are taken to indicate that the recent
critical situation of short food and
fuel supplies at many points caused by
poor and Insufficient freight service,
has been relieved, there are still points
where there is either actual want or
where freight is not moving. At the
height of the agitation over the food
and fuel shortage large amount of
relief supplies was rushed forward and
thousands Of tons of freight are in
transit for northwestern points or have
arrived. : i .~..1 =:
Not every point has been relieved,
county, N. D., an appeal for help comes
to lie j ourn a l, as follows:
."Berwick, N. D., Dec. 29-The peo-
pie Of Berwick appeal thru the columns
of T e Journa l for immediate re-
lief from fuel famine. No coal has ar
rived for six weeks Situation desper-
ate. This petition is signed by the fol-
lowing business men: E.. O. Stoves,

Another report that indicates poor
movement of freight: is received from
Darlington, N: D. 1t states that the
Darlington siding is full of cars loaded
with merchandise of various sorts,
stalled there since Nov 90. The fact
that no more calls for relief are coming
in is taken as an indication that the
railroads have been able to MANAGE the
movement of freight 50 as to distrib-
ute at least some necessary relief to
most Of the famine stricken points. =

Never before in the history Of Minne-

mony with this sentiment and to aid in

SENSATIONAL ELECTION WILL BE
FIELD JAN. 20. {
New Code Does Not Fix Date, and Says
Little About Proceeding, But Federal
Statute Says Election Shall Be on
Second Tuesday-Co Committees May Be
Recast. '-

Senator Nelson will be reelected for
his third term on Jan %. Some gossip
has been caused by the discovery that
the revised statutes make no definite
statement as to- the time for the elect
tion. That is covered, however, by the
federal statutes, which say that legis-
. latures shall vote on United States
senators on the second Tuesday after
their organization.
The Minnesota law formerly carried
this same provision. The revised stat
utes leave it out as unnecessary, and
provide, in Section 23:
"'Senators in congress shall be cleo
ted and the election certified as pro-
vidcd by the statutes of the United
States.'
The state law formerly provided that
on the second Tuesday after organic
alton, each house should vote on sena-
TOR separately. The next day at noon
the two houses should meet in joint
convention, and if the same man had
received majority of the vote Of
both houses, as reported by the scr
taries, then his election should be an
nounced. Otherwise the two houses
should vote jointly, with the speaker
Of the house presiding.
The Voting on Senator.
The revised statutes say nothing
about a vote in each house separately.
After the sentence already quoted,
Section % says:
'All meetings of the two houses in
joint assembly, shall be held in the hall
Of the house of representatives. The
speaker of the house shall preside over
such assembly, and the clerk thereof
shall be it's secretary The roll of the
senate shall be called by it's secretary,
and that of the house by it's clerk.
The president of the senate and speaker
Of the house shall certify the result of
such election IN duplicate; setting forth
the whole number of votes cast on the
final ballot, and the number thereof
received by each person voted for
1t may be held that under this stat
ute the houses shall not vote separate
~, but shall meet in point session Jan.
22 and vote by roll call.
Would Drop Dead Committees.
Some changes are likely to be made
in the list of standing committees this
winter. L. H. Johnson, the speaker
elect of the house, is said to be in
favor of dropping several committees
crowded for by the old rules, which
seldom or never meet. Such are the
committees on commerce, census, geo.
logical and natural history survey,
Indian affairs and local bills, a com
mittee which is a dead letter since the
constitution prohibited special legisla-
ton; also the committees on manufae-
lures and ways and means.
Mr.. Johnson is said to favor dividing
the subject of "public health, dairy
and food and making two committees,
one on dairy and food legislation, and
the other on "public health and SAM
tation.' 1t has also been suggested
that the road and bridges committee
be supplemented by a good roads COM
mittee, to consider legislation along
the line of the highway commission.
These changes will be up to the COM
mlttee on rules of the new house.

CAPITOL APPROACH
WILL BE LAMPLESS
Strike of Foundry Hands Prevents
Contractors from Planting Posts for
Lights.

When the legislators stroll to the
new marble state house evenings dur
ing the coming session, they will have
to do so in darkness. There are two
arc lights installed at the top Of the
long flight of granite steps at the
Wabasha street entrance, but not a
light is in place along the broad walk
from Wabasha street to the steps.
The reason is the strike Of iron foun-
dry men, The iron foundries are un-
able to fill only fractional part Of
their orders: Applicants for iron work
have to wait their turn, and the state
seems to be no exception.
The contract held by Butler Brothers
of st. Paul, calls for elaborate lamp
posts along the walk, but it will be
impossible to get them in time for the
Legislature. As the legislature only
holds night sessions for few days be-
fore the time limit for, adjournment it
is probable, however, that none of the
Lawmakers will seriously suffer.
