nishing the blind piggers along
the line of railroad thru North
Dakota the best and the warm
est room in their depots-the
waiting room-for the storage
of the illegal goods, such az
beer and liquor free of charge
from 2 to 10 days. IF one of
their passengers were to leave
a trunk or a grip a fraction
over "a hours it would cost
the passenger 25 cents but if a
blind pigger should want to
leave 10 or 20 kegs or cases of
beer a week or more in the
waiting room it would be all
right and the railroad company
would see that it had the best
of care regardless of the COM
fort of their passengers in such
waiting rooms. But Mr.. 8.
Pennington as I understand.
says he would not accept liquor
or beer if, he knew it.
How long has a manager of a
railroad to live in order to Know
whether there is liquor and
beer shipped over his road, and
depot waiting rooms used as
storage houses for beer? The
brewing company find it profit
able business as they do not
have to maintain beer houses
in North Dakota as they have
the use of 30 per cent of all
waiting rooms in North Dako-
ia free of charge.
Now I wish to say that if the
amount of coal was divided
among the poor and freezing
settlers along their line of road
that it would take to keep the
beer from freezing it would be
more appreciated by all good
people of North Dakota.-Ano-

ADVANTAGE OF LEARNING


ut is an act of positive
cruelty to bring up a girl in
such a way that she is totally
upprepared to do any one thing
we'll by which she could earn
a living. The average girl un-
derstands how to cook, sew,
and keep houae we'll enough to
answer all requirements at
home, bnt she has not the
technical knowledge of these
things which would enable her
to earn money by them. On
account of the unexpected
turns our lives take, every girl
on the farm, or elsewhere,
should be taught a means of
making a livelihood, even
though there should be no need
of putting her knowledge into
practice at the time, but to be
ready. if the time should come,
to face the world courageously.
To know a trade or profession,
and to know it we'll, gives a girl
the right attitude towards the
world. She has no need to
dread evil days, or to worry
about what will become of her
should misfortune come to her
or to those on whom she may
be dependent. She does not
feel compelled to marry simply
for a home, no matter what her
feelings toward the relation.
The essentially feminine lines
of work pay best in the end for
the average girl, but her tastes
aud abilities should be con-
suited. Fathers and mothers
should regard this matter as a
duty-to fit their daughters to
be self supporting, under all
circumstances.

LOCAL COAL COMBINE
The Alleged Coal Combination
at Fargo, n. OAK, will be
\ Investigated.

An investigation into an al
legged coal trust is being made
by both the state authorities
and the United States author
tiles in this city which may re-
suit in the prosecution Of sew
eral retail coal dealers who are
said to have combined for the
purpose of restricting competi-
ton and for holding up the re.
tail price of coal.
Owing to the fact that sever.
al dealers from across the river
are said to be in the com bine
the subject becomes q matter
of investigation for the govern
ment as tits interstate business.
Recently a certain dealer claims
that he was put out of business
in this city because he refused
to sign an agreement to sell
all grades of coal except Ignite
coal at a certain fixed price
which gives the retail dealer,
it is claimed an enormous profit.
This. certain dealer has called
the matter to the attention of
the authorities it is rumored
and a quiet investigation is
now being made by both the
local and government author
tiles.
According to the statement
of the dealer whose name is
withheld at this time, he start
ed in the coal business in this
city for the purpose of supply
ing the consumers with coal at
a moderate price whereby he
would be making a fair profit
and at the price he was willing
to sell coal it would have been
materially below the price
charged by certain dealers who
are in the alleged combine.
Before he was able, to secure
his supplies. after taking his
orders, he was informed by the
wholesalers that they could
not furnish him with coal un-
less he signed an agreement
entered into by other retail coal
dealers. This he refused to do
and a correspondence was
opened up between him and
the wholesalers which cores.
pondence will play an import
ant part in the investigation.
BY refusing to sign the agree.
ment he was unable to secure
any coal except Ignite and he
was compelled to go out OF
business.-Forum.

Railroads Aid Pig8ers.
Gives preference to Booze over
Freight and Passengers in
North Dakota.

North Dakota.
Editor Free Press:-In an ap-
peal which was sent by tie
citizen of Ambrosen, N. D., on
Dec. oath, to the Minneapolis
Journal asking for it's influence
to see what could be done in
the way of having fuel and food
stuffs shipped to the sufferers
of Ambrosen, it is claimed by
the citizens that whiskey and
booze get the preference over
other freights namely food stuff
and fuel, and Mr.. Pennington,
general manager of 500 line,
claimed that the statements of
the citizens were false and pre-
posterous, also that liquor did
not get the preference and that
he would not accept liquor if
he knew of it's shipment. .
Now, Mr.. Editor, I wish to
state here that the citizens of
Ambrosen and that vicinity
were correct when they stated
that liquor and beer received
preference over all other com
modities even over the passen-
gers in that state, as so per
cent of all passenger depots, I
mean waiting rooms, are kept
as a storage room for blind pig
gers, as I have seen in my
travels through North Dakota
in the last nine years from two
to five kegs and cases of beer
and liquor stored in the wait
ing rooms of at least 80 per
cent of all passenger depots in
North Dakota, and in some
cases there wasn't room enough
for passengers to be accommo.
dated with space in the wait
ing room, on account of the
storage of beer and liquors, and
they would have to content
themselves either by standing
on the platform or sitting on
kegs or cases of beer. The
waiting rooms are kept heated
night and day in order that
blind piggers of North Dakota
may not have their goods
frozen.
In most cases where q blind
pigger has a stock of liquor o,
beer stored in the waiting
room, we will say for instance
10 kegs, 10 cases, he will go tc
the agent and pay the freight
or express on one keg and per
haps case or two of beer out
of his shipment, the balance al
the shipment to be left in the
waiting room to be kept warm
till he is in need of it, BY this
way of doing business, I claim
that liquor and beer Kept in
such depot and waiting room
has the preference over all 9th
er commodities shipped into
North Dakota and even owe,
the passengers.'
Now, Mr.. Editor, I wonder il
Mr.. Pennington would like te
deny this fact and would say
that the statements made here
in are preposterous and no,
true. I do not see why state
ments of business men ano
citizens could not have as much
truthfulness az manager of {
railroad company or corpora
tion, as such managers woulc
not be kept in the employ o,
large concerns and corporations
if they were to acknowledge
the truth in the case.
do not believe that there i.
blind pigger in the state O
North Dakota who is or ha.
been short of whiskey and beel
shipments this winter. 1t al
ways has looked to me tina,
