Thus far the number of passengers
carried since the city assumed control
has averaged 23.038 q day. As the
city did not begin operating the ferry
until after the excursion season was

PROMISE TO RE GOOD.
Railroad Officials Had Conference with
Interstate Commerce Commission.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 28.-A confer.
ence which may result in the end of the
rebate system was held this morning
In the Office Of the interstate commerce
commission. A delegation of traf1c
managers Of the great western roads
are here with q mission Of peace. The
conference vas called to order BY
Chairman Knapp. The deleg ates told
him that they had decided to quit re-
batting and they promised further 10
warn the commission Of the practice Il
It was discove in other roads. The
eastern roads have already assured
the commission of q like course.
The conference, which was not pub
lie, lasted for more than two hours.
The representatives Of railroads re.
ferred all inQuirers concerning the
meeting to Chairman Knapp Of the
commission, who said the commission
desired the assistance of the committee
in preventing rebates and stated that
the companies are determined to put .
stop to discrimin alton in favor OF the
large shippers.
Through MIR. Stubbs and practic ally
all the other members of the com.
mittee, the railway interests were rep.
resented as being anxious to have the
commission assist . railway com.
mittee iu looking into all griev auces.
Mr.. Knapp said the speakers even ex.
pressed willingness to have such a
committee, headed by q man without
railway interests, who ehall act as the
go.between in all controversies be.
tween the railway committee and the
commission. ...
Several of the railway men assured
the commission that the public con.
science had been aroused BY rebate
disclosures and that many prominent
shippers have announced they will &C.
cept no concessions of any sort what.
ever that may cause them to be classed
with corporations which have profited
by special rates. This sentiment, It Ia
urged by the railway men, will assist
materially in the movement Of the rail.
ways to abolish rebates.
Belated as this realization Is. the
administr alton and the friends of tls
administr alton regard it as the fore.
runner Of further capitulation BY the
railro ads to overwhelming pu ublic sen.
timent. When the full sense of their
Grimm ality in connection with their
ev asions of the law is forced upon
them, 1t is believed by the president
and his advisers the railroads will no
longer regard rate legislation as an
injustice.

Against Kincannon.

Judge Spooner has rendered a
decision in the case of the Theo.
Hamm Brewing company against
e. S. Kincannon giving the brew
ing company damages in the sum
of 1861. go. The suit was started
last fall on the grounds of breach
of contract. The brewing com
pany had an option upon a build
ing owned Ky Kincannon located
on Third street between Beltrami
and Bemidji avenues. Before
the option expired Kincannon
sold the property to the Duluth
Brewing company for $1,000
The Hamm Brewing company
i'm mediately started the action,
which was adjourned from the
court term last fall to thisspring.
When all the testimony had been
listened to by the jury which
tried the case, the jury waived
and after considering the matter
for some time Judge Spooner
rendered the decision fayorable
to the plaintiff. The plaintiff

Local Members Went to
Blackjack Last Night to
H. Look Situation Over. -,

81 A committee of the local
Knights of Pythias lodge, con-
sisting of 0. E. Bailey, H. H.
Wheelock, Prof. W. B. Stewart
and T. j. Miller, went to Black
duck last night to look over the
situation in regard to the organi-
zation of lodge in that village.
The names of about 30 men who
signified their willingness to Join
were secured. The committee,
however, is of the opinion that
unless a charter mem bership of
more than this number can be
secured it would not be wise to
organize the lodge with this num-
Der, as it is not probable that it
would receive sufficient support
and would finally go the way of
many other lodges organized
with a small membership. 1t

Ten Prominent People Of
Grand Forks Buy Summer
Resort Site.
LOCATED ON NORTHEAST SHORE
OF LAKE BEMIDJI.
Will Commence Erection Of a
Number of Summer Cottages
in Near Future.

One of the best deals for Be
midji that was ever negotiated
was closed yesterday, when 10
prominent men of Grand Forks,
N. D.. bought a sum- mer resort
site including so acres of land
located on the northeast shore OF
Lake Bemidji, between the town
site of North Bemidji, owned by
j. j. Opsahl, and the summer
resort Pine Beach,
The names of the buyers, who
are all Grand Forks men, are
D. W. Luke, O. J. Barnes, w. H.
Nigham, Sydney Clark, Mrs
Sarah Williams, T. B. Holmes.
N. G. Benner, George e. Duis,
G. P. Tripanier and L. H. Carter.
It will be seen that the above list
includes some of the most
prominent business men IN
Grand Forks, including the
mayor of that city. ."~
It is intended to start the
erection of several cottages on
the land in the near future and
the party has already put up a
large quantity of ice for use next
summer, when they will come to
Bemidji and spend the outing
season. ~.-
Mr.. Holmes, one of the party,
was in the city a couple of days
ago, before the deal was closed,
and viewed the property. He
expressed himself as very we'll
pleased and intends to spend
every future summer on the
shores of Lake Bemidji.
Mayor A. A. Carter of this city
negotiated the sale Of the land
and naturally feels very elated
over the success of bis. work.
He made half dozen trips to
Grand Forks before he could get
much encouragement, but grad
ually the Grand Forkers became
interested, and, having heard OF
the beauties of Lake Bemidji
from the other Grand Forks peo-
pie who visit this city every sum-
mer they finally were induced to
take up Mr.. Carter's PROPOSE
tion, which involved a cash con-
sideration of considerable mag
nltude.

WORK ON DAM
MOVING f AST
Clearing Of Ground Almost
Completed and Nearly
Enough Piles Cut.

The work Of clearing the
ground and cutting piles for the
proposed dam to be constructed
across the Mississippi river four
miles east of Bemidji lake is pro.
crossing rapidly, according to
Fred .Eikstadt +, who has the con.
tract for this work and also for
the excavating that is to be done
in the bottom of the river, where
a cement foundation will be
placed. According to Mr.. Elk
stadt's contract, a strip 40 feet
wide and 10 feet deep extending
from one bank to the other is to
be excavated from the bottom of
the river to allow for the placing
of the cement foundation. The
preliminary work of clearing, ex.
cavating and cutting piling alone
involves considerable and Mr..
Eikstadt has large force of
men at work on the contract at
the present time and expects to
add to the crew in the near
future, when the7excavating be-
gins. In order TO successfully
carry on this part of the work,
one-half of the river will be taken
at a time and a temporary dam
constructed in such manner that
the water will be excluded from
this portion of the river while
the work is proceeding. When
this is finished and the cement
laid the other half of the river
will be treated in like manner.
w. g. Schroeder Of this city,
who let the contract to Mr.. Elk
stadt, still refuses to give out
any information as to the charac-
ter of the factory that is to be.
operated from the power derived
as a result of the operation Of
the dam, which will be 800 feet in
length. r..

T., a.: All Depends OH Strike
The whole matter is said to hinge on
the? declaration of a strike. If there
is to be strike, it is declared by the
coal dealers that the price of hard coal
will remain at 3d. IS, without the spring
reduction. And there is little. hesita-
ton on their part IL saying that a
strike is practically yunayo idable, and
that the situation lwilsbe> known after
the Monday conference between the
operators and the miners. Hence they
are advising their CUSTOMERS to buy
now and take the chance of losing so
cents a ton. The dealers. have even
gone to the extent of issuing friendly
warning to the general public by post
ing notices in their office windows.
One thing is sure, say the coal men ::
If strike is declared, altho there is
an average spring stock of hard coal
at the head of the lakes and in the
Minneapolis yards; this viii be" s pread

only an allowance instead of a full

Soft Coal Affected.
A strike is lkely..in the bituminous
fields, also, it as generally believed by
coal men. Some stoek..i is on hand at
the lake docks, and fairly good stocks
are lying in the Minneapolis yards. If
the strike comes, prices are likely to
advance. Inasmuch as the soft coal
producing districts are large and scat
tered, coal production is likely to pro-
ceed TO some extent, whether there is
any labor trouble or not. In the case
are SO 2eircumscribed that the business
is likely to be tied up pretty light.
1t is not. considered likely, Judging
from experiences during the last coal
strike, that anthra cite coal consumers
will >.sHtfer from an advance in price.

IN Minneapolis did not raise the price
