Duluth Elevator Company
Secures the Coal Contract

At a special meeting Of the
Board of Education of this city held
last night to consider bids for coal
for the schoolhouses, the contract
for furnishing 300 tons of coal was
let to the Duluth Elevator Co.
Their bid, $5.l6 a ton for screened
Hooking Valley coal delivered in
the school buildings, was the low
est, and is 1874 below the price paid
for the same grade of coal last
year. The reduction in freight on
coal is responsible for most of this
reduction, but a little competition
seems to help some, too.

A Curiosity of Arithmetic.

A mathematician in a scientific bu-
reau of one OF the departments at
Washington has discovered that the
number 1929 is odd in more senses
than one.
If we multiply it by any number
from 1 up to &, we arrive at products
expressed by exactly the same figures
as the original. Not only so, but, with
the exception that different figure
leads off each time, the order of the
figures is the same.
142,857 multiplied by is the same.
142,S57 multiplied by 2 is 2S5,714.
142,S57 multiplied by 3 is 1851.
142,S57 multiplied by 4 is 81, 1923.
142,857 multiplied by 5 is 714,2S5.
142,S57 multiplied by 6 is S57, JAP.
With this multiplying by 6 the
strangeness stops, though the result of
multiplying the number by gives the
rather odd number of ,999-New

Farmers Must Not Touch au In.
dependent Pole If They Wish
TO Talk 10 WiIllnar.

A short time ago several farmers
living east of the city decided to
join one Of the cooperative tele-
phone systems with lines between
Willmar and Spicer. They were To-
Gated some distance from the line
and in order to minimize the ex-
penses, secured permission from the
Tri-State Co. to string their wires
on the Tri-State poles until it should
reach the line with which they
wished to connect. Before the
work was done, however, the CO.
operative companies were notified
by the Bell Company at Willmar
that if they attached any wires to
the Tri-State poles the companies
would be disconnected from the
Willmar exchange. So the farmers
who had expected to connect with
the cooperative company did not
get their phones. This is small
matter, but it shows the DISPOSE
ton Of the Bell Co. The local ex-
change is being used as club with
which to whip business into line
with the Northwestern long dis
lance lines. AS progressive Amer
lean city it is up to Willmar people
to open up free communication with
surrounding territory, and not per-
nit any trust to dictate who may
and who may not talk into the
city.

SMOOT TO REMAIN.

Some of the minority members of the senate
committee privileges and elections have come to
the defence of Reed Smoot, the sitting member
from Utah, although a majority OF the committee
reported in favor of his expulsion
More of the minority members are expected to
uphold Smoots title to seat, and it is surprising
defence of the Mormon apostle have now de-
veoped into defence of the Mormon church itself.
Smoot was originally permitted to take a seat
in the senate in fulhnient of political deal be-
tween the late Mark Hanna and the Mormon
hierarchy during the last Mckinley campaign, and
it was then urged that Smoot was personally a
good man, however bad Mormonism might be. He
not polygamist himself, it was asserted, no
matter how many wives his fellow apostles and
associates might maintain.
Since then Smoots advocates and champions
have become more truculent and bolder. They are
now declaring that, after all, Mormonism isn't so
bad as it used to be- that Brigham Young has
been dead for many years and that the Mormon
church has improved.
All this means that Smoot is to be permitted
to retain his seat in spite of the fact that he is
bound by an oath to constantly labor for the over
throw of the government of the United States and
in spite of the other fact that his presence in the
senate will be continuing stencil i'll the nostrls of
decent American citizens.
Such a consummation the result of politi-
cal dicker is disgraceful but those responsible for
il cannot be punished because they are beyond the
reach of the people whose sense of decency they
have outraged.
