q the Matter Of Fuel.

AS protests over the shortage OF coal
were being sent from all parts OF the
state to the railroad headquarters,
and as It seemed that Linton was be-
ing overlooked, coupled with the fact
that heavy snow-stOrm might tie up
the trains and cause serious suffering
hereabouts, the editor of the Record
wrote, under date of Dec. 22d, to
HowardElliott. president Of the North
ern Pacific, giving him the facts as to
the shortage of coal here, and inform
ing him that this region was ia great
need Of fuel. AS giving the outlook
for supply Of coal, and also the rail-
road point of view as to the cause Of
the fuel famine, we print below Mr..
Elliott's letter:
"Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany, Office of the President, st. Paul,

Streeter, Linton, N. D.: Dear Sir
Your letter of Dec. 22d, about the coal
situation at Linton, is received. in
close, for your information, copy of q
telegram sent by our assistant gener-
al superintendent to the superintend-
ent OF our company at Jamestown;
also, copy of reply.
st. Paul, Dec. "a, 1906. Burt,

tain exact conditions and prospects

Kline, Saint Paul: Agent at Linton
advises that there is two days. supply
Of coal in town. We have one car for
them in Fargo; that is all ON this d.
vision. Will hurry it forward. Have
wired agent to take up fuel question
with e., NJ. s. st. p. A. NJ. b.
"You will note from this that the
agen: at Linton states there is two
days supply of coal in town, and one
car at Fargo on it's way west. We
have also taken the matter up with
the Chicago, Milwaukee & Saint Paul,
and they say they have no advice OF
any shortage at that point.
"The railroad company is doing ev-
erything it possibly can to move fuel
to all points in North Dakota, and it
is loading at the head Of the lakes
from 200 to 800 cars Of coal day.
"As the population in North Dako-
ia increases. 1t is going to be absolute
ly necessary for the people to have
storage and to accumulate coal dur.
ing the summer months. This is the
way fuel is handled in the New Eng
land states, because it is impracticable
to move all the coal needed after cold
weather has begun.
1--WE are doing everything we can to
put coal at main line and branch
points ON our road, and Mr.. Klein, as
sistant general superintendent Of this
company, is giving daily and personal
attention to the whole subject.
"Yours, truly,

 The cup formed, as it was intended it should, prominent part of the British participation on the opening day. 1t at tracted widespread attention. not more on account of itss massive proportions, its symmetry, and It's beauty than because of It's distinguished donor, the King of England, who has in 90 many ways evidenced his deep interest in the expo sition and thereby rendered valuable as- sistance to the efforts of both MT Kohl saat and MT Cridler for the successful promotion of their work in England.

N IoRFoLK, Va, June 2-(speclai)-
 M After an interview with King Ed ward VII of England recently, Hon. Charles W. Kohlsaat commissioner general of the Jamestown exposition, gave out the following to the American Register, published in London:
 His Majesty, King Edward VII, has on more than one occasion, been graciously pleased to manifest his sympathy and friendly interest in the Jamestown expo sition, whose doors were formally opened on the 26th of April, His majesty's fleet was present and participated in the opening exercises. But on no oc- asion has his majasty's good will been more pronouncely shown than by the presentation of a handsome cup to be competed for during the yacht races that are to take place next September. These will be fitting feature In that alto gether novel and interesting international exposition, intended to commemorate the birth of the American nation, and at which deputation of the ships of war of all friendly nations have been ordered by their governments to be present In &C., corance with the cordial invitation of the President of the United States. The exposition Is essentially a military and naval display or reunion and all water sports, of which there will be many, will be second only to the great number of mem of-war from all quarters of the globe They present an inspiring sight.
 'srhe kings gift Is of fine silver gilt, with cover and cup mounted on an ebon- ized base. It Is a copy of the early Georgian period with two massive scroll handles. The cup and covers are orna- mented with handsome inlaid scroll mask and strap work. 1t is twenty-two inches high; width, including handles, twenty two inches; diameter of body, twelve inches. It weighs PTS ounces"
 The inscription on the front bears the engraved personal monogram and crown of his majesty, wit hthe letters F. R. and Roman numerals VII beautifully and artistically interlaced. Immediately below it appears the following inscriptions;

What does he ask? Well, simply the time.
 What l am dying to know. and l sup pose IT have to ask him some day, is the reason he wants the correct time morning after morning. Oh 1 know what he Is; he has a gold watch. or two or three, l should say, and there must be half dozen or more clocks in his house. to say nothing of the small tlmepleces. carried by the members of his family.

From the New York Times.
 When it got as far as the cigars at an informal supper the other night, at which the manager of one of the most talked-of New York hotels was the host, the talk turned on the perfection of modern hotel management. me manager boasted of the fact that in his house at least the clerks were para gons of memory and cleverness.
 "Yet, I'll make bet of bottle.' said one of the guests, "that exactly at midnight, when the clerks change. I. having no room here, can walk to the desk, ask for the key of a certain room, giving the number and get 1t" 'Done," said the manager. Exactly at 12 the man making the bet entered the lobby as he had just come from the street. This dialogue followed at the desk:
 My key, please-No. 76."
 "Yes, sir; what name?"
 "Mr. Johnson"
 Yes, MT. Johnson"
 The clerk turned back to the desk as if to reach the key from the rack. For a moment he was of sight of "Mr. Johnson" re
 Then, to "Mr. Johnson's" dismay, he was quietly seized by two men, who seemed to come up from the floor on either side of him and who asked him very politely, but firmly, to leave the hotel at once.
 It was then that the manager ap- peared from behind pillar and ex- plained.
 A few moments later, when they were drinking the bottle, the chagrined loser said:
 Well, that's wonderful thing How | the deuce do they remember every body they seer" ' Easy enough" said the manager, land then in this particular case there isn't room in the house numbered be- low 100."
 The loser bought another bottle on himself without being asked.

Values and prices are not adjusted with any micrometer-like nlceness in days like these. If values and prices always went hand in hand there wouldn't be much speculation. The game would be tame In bull markets prices run away from values. In bear markets prices sink far below values. In prolonged declines in the mar ket not only do prices sink below values, but values themselves decline. We have had a decline in value, due to various causes-high rates for money, confiscatory legislation, increased costs of labor and materials and so on. But We have had a much more violent decline in prices largely due to the peculiar cumulative eff feet of forced liquidation The result to- day Is that prices are far enough below values to warrant the assertion that standard American railroad shares, while they may become still cheaper. are now on the bargain table. Here are some of the bargain table offerings in dividend paying stocks:

amassed large fortunes in business are permitted to enjoy in peace the fruits or their labor. It has become the fashion to attack individual or corporate posses sors of substance. Tn some cases the campaigning against persons and capital assumes almost the proportions of mania. Unless there is a change in public sentiment in this regard the inevitable consequence will be that people of large means will get out of the country, take their fortunes with them and seek homes where they will be let alone and be free from political persecution-all manner of confiscatory and harassing snpervision.'
