the Bidwell cold motor. 1t is guaranteed not

faster and more safely than any present

The one drawback the railroads have had In
changing over to electricity has been that no

miles at 60 miles an hour without burning

quiry is made about Salvation Army
finance I would say that we have already
placed in the printers hands a, report
which gives full particulars regarding
Salvation Army finances from every
source in the city Of Minneapolis for the
past year, also a full account Of the ex
|penditures.N This includes the work in all
its branches, viz, the American and
three Scandinavian corps Cor missions)
the Industrial home, Workingmen's hotel
and Rescue home; also the poor relief de-
partment Christmas dinner. etc.
| Each corps In. the city has it's own local
treasurer and secretary, who keep a COM
plete record Of the finances. These local
officers are laymen, following their own
business or trade during the day.
We shall be pleased to supply the writ
err of the inquiry with copy of the above
report, If he will kindly send us his name
and address. He must please remember
that the old city hall is not only the
headquarters for our work in Minneapolis,
but also for the Salvation Army work In
towns and cities turnout North Dakota,
WISCONSIN, northern Michigan and Min
snesota. Howeuer, sas Stated above, the

IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE =. !.
:: !. MAKES WAR ON. DUMPS

Dumping grounds need reforming in
the opinion Of the members of the I'm
provement league, and an effort will
be made to have the dumps conducted
with better care. 1t is necessary and
even desirable that the low places be
filed up. to the grade Of surrounding
land, and ashes, manure, street sweep
ingsi and garden rubbish may be ad-
vantageously used for the purpose, but
there Is no reason why the dumps
should: be left so unsightly, say. the
league women. $3.50. ,
When lot has been filed, the refuse
should be covered with earth at once,
as the sight. Of a dump is offensive to
an YONG. Street commissioners should
|ssee that lots: which have. been raised
In this manner should be covered with
out delay. T
Some places which should be pre-
served as beauty spots are being filled
with manure and other rubbish. Such
a depression exists at Emerson avenue
s., near Twentyffth street, and many
residents in the vicinity object to the
dump which has . been established
there. An effort: will be made to stop
the work.
Everything good is coming to the
league. The playground established in
the eighth ward will be enlarged: John
Morris, owner of an adjoining lot, has
placed it at the disposal of the, eighth

DEVELOPING NORTH DAKOTA
The Great Northern New Line Aneta
to Devils Lake.


The Great Northern railway is build
ing a new line from Aneta to Devils
Lake in North Dakota, distance of
about sixty miles, which will be in OPP
Grafton this summer. This will form
another through line for the Great
Northern between the twin cities and
the west. There will be located on it
four. good towns, two of which will be
in Nelson county, and, as the Great
Northern railway crosses the very best
portion of this county, which is already
we'll settled with thrifty wellto-do far
mers, it is expected these towns will
spring up into little cities rapidly.
Two towns, Neville and Tolna, To-
Gated in Nelson county, are now be-
sale in each, of, these towns ON May 25
at 9 O'Clock am, at the Farmers &
Merchants bank, Aneta, n. D. Nc
Vile will be located twelve miles west
of tsAneta in the southwest quarter of
section 35, township $50, range 50. Toll
ma will be located twelve miles west
| of Neville in the northwest quarter of
section II, township $50, range g..
| Both of these towns have been chosen
| on good high ground at points where
good water is easily accessible and eS-
cellent drainage assured. -
| Representatives of the aTownsite COM
pany will be at the above points May
% between IL am. and pm, to
| show the exact location of lots to
those desiring to look them over. Four
or FIVE standard elevators viii be built
at once at the above places, and will be
finished and in readiness to receive this

made a record breaking trip in an au-

Mr.. Hill had his machine running at
the rate Of between ffty-eight and

nearly as it could be figured, was about
twenty-eight miles an hour. The trip

New Issues for Wisconsin.

Senator La Follette's candidate for
governor of Wisconsin,, Speaker Irvine
L. Lenroot Of Superior, made speech
in Milwaukee Tuesday night which
stamps him as much Of a radical as his
sponsor could possibly wish. Mr. Len
root declared for state income tax
law regulation of all public service
corporations, and legal limitations on
stock issues by such concerns, a CO.
employee law for railroads, and the re-
call system for public officials. He had
several other planks in his platform, but
those enumerated are enough to show
the leaning of Mr.. Lenroot. -.
Reform is in the saddle in Wisconsin,
and to remain there the reformers feel
that they must keep busy. They must
give the people something new TO think
about all the time. The man who can
initiate the most reforms will claim to
DO the worthiest successor to La Fol
1ette as head of the state government.
Wisconsin needed waking up. There
Is no question whatever about that. La
Toilette pulled the republican party out
of an old rut that led to nowhere, and sci
it to work. He rallied the younger more
progressive men of the state to his
standard, and organized them for the
accomplishment of his preached re
forms, such as railroad commission
and rate law, and the direct primary

control but too much power is making

are candidates for governor. Unde

The Record of Congress-.

The report sent out from Washin g
ton that the present congress- had
broken all records in the accomplish
ment of legislation is true and it is
untrue. It is true that the present
congress has passed a larger number
of bills than any of it's predecessors,
but it is not true that enough Of that
LEGISLATION has been = Of a public
character to constitute Tecord in this
important respect. The house and sem
ate have acted upon an unusual num-
Der of privte bills, but, the humber Of
Of more important public measures
that, hang fire .@lis also, notable.
The house has passed rate bill,
a bill for the. relief of j. the Philip
pines trade, a bill for free alcohol, a
Joint statehood bill. The senate has
passed a pure-food bill Tt is. remark
able; that none of these measures have
reached the president, tho "congress has
been in session five MONTHS The joint
statehood bill is farther advanced than
any other, having passed the house in
one form, the senate in another and
being now in conference. What has
become Of the conferees nobody seems
to know. They may be on a polar ex-
petition or with Scotty in Death val
ley,-~so far as congress is aware. r., ,
&:The senate passed the: pure-food bill
after fifteen years Of unremitting toll
but the house has ~not~~been able to
discuss it, even. The house passed a
rate bill which the senate has debated
ad nauseam. 1t appears likely to pass
in the senate some day this week. II
senate could not find the Philippine
tariff &bill at all, and as for the free
alcohol bill, it seems improbable that
the senate will touch a measure which
go great an authority on alcohol and
other things as Chancellor Day has de-
nounced as an anarchistic effort to re
vive competition against the STANDARD
Oil company.
So the present congress does not ap
pear to have broken anything which
cannot be mended. . =

TO the Editor of The Journal.
I have been reading how the trees are
to be cut down on Lyndale avenue N,
near Sixth avenue, because of moving

law to prevent moving, old buildings thru
the streets and destroying valuable trees.
I am great friend Of the trees and hate
to- see them destroyed. In this case the
property owners can appeal to the. park
board, but why wasn't the park board
'aroused when many more valuable trees
than those on Lyndale avenue N were cut
down In Hawthorn park a short time ago!

that its affaifssare its own private busi-

dstashe Roosevelt message to congress,
about two years ago, that urged public
ity as the first step in the correction of
corporate abuses made stir. Men in
business have rights that the law must
respect. So corporations have rights
to atheirs own privacy that no law may
violate. But; our country is being domi-
mated more and more by giant combina,
tions' Of capital that reach into com
marcial, social and political affairs. 1t
Is clear there must be dividing line
somewhere. There must be place
where the rights Of a business man, to

Smoking Out the Standard.

After. a long period of: agitation for
reform in corporate affairs, and with
the fight still on and bitter and acri-.
monious things coming out Of it, it may
naturally be asked whether, material
good has been accomplished. There are:
no final results as yet, The question
Of : the greater scontrol of corporate
wealth, and of the elimination of abuses
is too great to permit Of. remedy in a
short time.
- Nevertheless great progress has been
made. Things not seen before, and i'm:
possible Of attainment :, under 1.-The tlold
order are now witnessed. Several pre-
sent themselves at once. For best Il
lustration one may select the statement
of the Standard Oil company issued
yesterday, to stockholders, in reply to
the charges of Commissioner Garfield.
Whether or not there is some Justice
in what the Standards men say, or
| whether Mr.. Garfeld told only thetrhth
and struck home, are Of great import
ance, but not for consideration here:
The point of emphasis is the reply
the feeling on the part ofTthe giant
corporation that reply must be made,
the smoking of the animal ssouts Of Its
hole, the bringing of its managerial
head into the. daylight. - sssar9
| No corporation ever was 50 Close
mouthed as Standard Oil. ;. There were
i a few things It could not conceal: This

that the regular dividend for the QUAR-
ter would be at the rate Of SO q share

ing was $15. Running back a few
4 years it may be found that the con-
pany paid quarterly dividends at cor
