CITY BUYS COAL
BY THERMAL UNITS
DEALERS EXPECTED TO GO DAFFY
WITH .FIGGERIN,. =
New Specifications for Bidders Who
Would Sell Fuel for the Northeast
Pumping Station Contain Phrases and
Clauses Unheard Of Outside Of a
Chemical Laboratory.

When the coal dealers receive the
specifications for bids for supplying 400
tons Of coal to the Northeast pumping
station they will open their eyes, for
they are the most extraordinary coal
specifications ever sent out by the city
of Minneapolis. They have been pre-
pared strictly along scientific lines and
inaugurate a distinctly new method in
the purchase Of coal.
The bidders in their proposals are
required to warrant the trade name,
mine, vein, county and state from which
their article is obtained, and also to
warrant the percentage of carbon, vola-
tile combustible material, ash, sulphur
and moisture, also to warrant the mum
ber Of British thermal units in each
pound Of dry coal. To determine this,
100 pounds Of coal is to be given for
analysis. By process Of elimination
this amount will be reduced to pint
Of dry coal in cubes Of about one-fourth
Of an inch.
It is the thermal unit quality Of the
coal which determines it's value, for if
the coal delivered is inferior to the
analysis it may either be rejected or
the price reduced. u

ITASCA co. PETITIONS
BOTH FOUND REGULAR

The two petitions on file calling for
division of Itasca county were approved
today as to their form, by the proper
state officers. Governor johnson, Audi
tor Iverson and Secretary of State Han
son met with G. S. Jelley as legal ad-
visor. They: found the necessary num-
Der Of names on each , petition and
everything properly certified 50 gave
their approval to both. - -"
Mr.. Jelley advised the board that it's
duties do not extend any farther,
When it comes to issuing the proclaim
alton for special election, the gov
ernor must act alone, on the attorney
generals advice. The law provides
that only one proposition may be voted
on at any election. G. W. Stanton,
who filed the Koochiching county Pc
tition, Jan. IS, claims that this peti-
tion has precedence and shuts out all
others. A. A. Tone, representing Rip
pie and the Forest county petition, was
also present today, and will argue
against the validity of the law. Deer
River and Northome, which villages
are both ambitious to be county seats
are circulating petitions and will file
them later. ~~+~ -.

STUDENTS TO AIR
FOOTBALL VIEWS
INSURGENTS PROMISE EXCITE.
MENT IN ..U' MASS MEETING.
Attempt May Be Made to Show Dissat-
isfaction in Faculty's Endorsement Of
Big Nine Recommendations, Thru
Resolutions Students Allege Print
ers' Combine Exists in Minneapolis.

Arrangements are complete for the
football mass meeting to be held at the
university tomorrow afternoon and stu
dents who have been sizing up under
graduate sentiment in regard to the big
nine conference recommendations look,
for a rather spirited undergraduate ses-
sion. An attempt will probably be
made to pass resolutions expressing the
dissatisfaction of the students with the
action of the Minnesota council in
adopting the big nine recommendation
and as faculty members and probably
students will be present to defend the
council no unanimous action on the part
of tho undergraduates is expected.
John Gleason, president Of the uni
versity athletic board and a strong
football enthusiast, will preside at the
meeting and faculty members and stu
dents will express their ideas in regard
to Minnesota s attitudes. If, the ma
jority OF the students present are in fa-
vor Of letting the action Of the faculty
go without a protest there will be no ae-
ti1on taken, but, should the insurgent
element prevail, interesting resolutions
will be passed by the undergraduates.
Claiming that Minneapolis printing
firms have formed combination, and
that fair estimate for printing the
university junior annual cannot be OBJ
tanned in Minneapolis, students on the
1907 Gopher board have asked for bids
in other cities. At meeting to be
held at the university tonight a Chica,
go firm probably will be awarded the
Gopher contract. l.-' @ --
The 1907 Gopher is to be published
next spring, and, owing to the scandal
connected with the printing Of last
years book, and the refusal Of the
senior class to assume an indebtedness
due Minneapolis printing firm for the
1905 annual, there has been a great deal
of interest in university circles as tc
what firm would print tho 1907 Gopher
In the past a Minneapolis firm has in
variably been awarded the contract :and
the announcement that the Gopher man
ayers contemplated having the work
done in Chicago has created comment
| On the campus. IT,. 49,.
According to members of the Gophe,
| board the bids Of the Minneapolis firms
were almost identical, with one excep
tion. The work can be done in Chi
cago for about half the amount asked
by the lowest Minneapolis bidder.

Democrats lndorse Roosevelt.

The indorsement of President Roosevelt by the Twelfth district Democratic convention of Ohio demonstrates how loosely party lines are being drawn these days. An appeal to party regularity IS proof positive of weakness, and should be construed a5 an att tempt to condone wrong by re- course to prejudice. There could have been no consideration of party in the resolutions of those Ohio Democrats when they in- dorsed President Roosevelt.
 Party lines are looser today than any time since the Civil war. Party is becoming more and more a qualified term. It is quite common to hear of Roose- welt Democrat or of Folk Re- publican. Duty is now quite often considered the antithesis of party. A marked tendency of both organizations is to attach less significance to party and more importance to duty, less thoug ht of mere form and more consideration of the spirit of the law.
 It is unfortune for the we'll being of the American people that they are becoming more in- dependent of thought and less de- voted to mere party name. The great issue of corporation regula- ion will never be settled by a blind adherence to regularity The vote of 3 minority party plus that of the independent voter IS often needed to carry into effect necessary reforms. It was true of Roosevelt. of Folk and of La. Toilette, and the principle is be- iug illustrated in Kansas where, for the first time in years, a Democrat is making winning campaign for the governorshi2.
 The ranks of the iudependen, voters are receiving new recruits daily, and these are the citizens who are putting the greates' statesmen in positions of public trust.

THE FAIR AND CELEBRATION

It is generally admitted that the three days entertainment which clos ei last Saturday night, was the most largely attended and most successful of any ever held by Mena in it's his- tory, and there is almost universal demand that this annual celebration and fair be continued. People are realizing more than ever the great advantages accruing to Mena and surrounding country from these annual gatherings and are willing to contribute literally of both time and money to have them continued. The officers elected have all been faithful and efficient workers in the past and have every detail well in hand for good and successful work in the future. As soon as all &C., counts are in and settled a statement of receipts and expenditures will be published for the benefit of those interested.
 It has been suggested by several that the fair has now grown to such proportions that it IS necessary to enlarge the pavilion, which is very true. Mir. A. w. Smith, the efficient superintendent of the fruit depart ment, is of the opinion that if a move in this direction was started the saw mills and lumber yards would donate lumber, the carpen- ters and painters unions labor and the people generally contribute to the enterprise.
 This is something the newly elected officers should take in hand at as early date as deemed practical.

KANSAS OIL SITUATION.
Independent Producers in the State Sot Worrying About Redr ction in Price
 of Crude oil.

Cherryvale, Kan, Aug. 21.--Although the Standard oil company has re- duced the price of crude oil ten cents a barrel by means of three cuts Tn the last month, the independent pro ducers and refners in the Kansas neids are not much worried.
 The Kansas independent refneries anticipated this situation and bought their production, drilled their own wells and are therefore indifferent as to what prices the Standard puts on crude and refined oils. The Standard does not own it's wells and has to buy the oil for the Neodesha and Sugar Creek refineries, but it's control of the markets enables it to force the price down to or below the cost of pro- duction and buy oil almost as cheap ly as the independents can produce It.
 Still the Standard has no method by which it can produce oil cheaper than the independents. Nor is 1t be- lieved that the Standard will put the price of refined oil much lower. The anti-discrimination law in Kansas re- quires that when the price is reduced in all parts of the state in equal ratio making allowances for cost of transportation and each reduction of one cent a gallon means s1 .000 day
 The present average price of kero- sene oil in Kansas is eight cents a gallon. Before the passage of the an- ti-discrimination law and the max mum freight rate law the average price was 14 cents gallon. The re- duction in two years has amounted to fraction less than 45 per cent. The average daily consumption of kero- sene and gasoline in Kansas is 100,- 900 gallons. This reduction of six cents gallon means a saving of s6,- 900 a day to the consumers of the state. This amount stays in the pock- cts of the people of Kansas.

TEN YEARS AGO.

It has been ten years since the Star was started in Mena and many events of more or less importance to the public have been chronicled in it's columns since that date. As a new feature of interest it is our intention to present in some form each week, and possibly each day later on, quo tations from our files telling of im- portant events, showing the steady, upward growth of our thriving young city.
 This column will be closely scanned by our readers and we will endeavor tc be accurate in our quotations, but those young ladies who show by their looks and actions, have only grown five years older during the last ten years, will, as we have oc- casion to refer to them, be at liberty to question the correctness of our dates as given.
