 St. Paul, March 1l-At a meeting If the directors of the Great Northern ,. 5. Co. held Saturday it was prac- cally decided to build another mon- ster steamship to take the place of the wrecked Dakota. Hope has beel entertained that possibly the stranded, 5essel might be saved in more or ess battered condition of course but he intelligence that the board of underwriters has sold her to a Japan ese wrecking concern, put an end to my further idea that she would ever 'ail again under American register.

The turbines take up much ess room than the regular engines, flowing more room for cargo anG uel. The coal shortage of the pres mt season is likely to cause the con- ,any to look into the question of oil | or fuel.

 He must be an able. upright judg, indeed, if the newspaper reports b' rue. Superior Judge C. B.
