attention to the fact that the Oelwein

Last week eight more students secured
positions: Miss Elsie Pfalzgraf, George

DAN PATCH TERMINAL STATION
Old Exposition Building Secured for
the Minneapolis Passenger Station.

Minneapolis famous exposition build
ing on the east side of the river, now
owned and occupied by the Information
al Stock Food company, is once more
to become public building.
1t has been decided to convert the
ground floor of the mammoth building
into modern terminal station for the
Dan Patch Line" The Minneapolis,
Rochester dubuque Traction company,
whose line it is promised will be in
operation in less than eighteen months.
M. w. Savage, president of the COM
|pany which has now begun the actual
work of constructing an electric rail-
way line from Minneapolis to Dubuque,
has agreed to donate the use of this
part of the great building for terminal
purposes, and the plan has been enthus-
iastically received by the directors of
the new corporation.
Both from its picturesque location
and from its construction the building
is admirably adapted to the purpose.
Its 222, 400 square feet of ground space
gives room for the running and handling
of an immense number of cars and the
caring for great crowds of travellers
and sightseers.
The plans for making a terminal out
of the great building are not confined
to arranging for the handling of the
company's rolling stock. 1t is pro-
posed to install comfortable waiting
rooms, check rooms, express and
baggage rooms, first class restaurant
and everything else that patrons of the
new road will need to make their wait
ing comfortable and furnish them with
desirable and convenient headquarters
for short stays in Minneapolis.
"We are in the railroad business now
and we do not mean to do anything by
halves, " said Mr.. Savage to-day "The
wonderful enthusiasm of people along
the Minneapolis, Rochester & Dubuque
| Traction company's proposed right OF
way has been revelation to me, and
of itself insures the roads popularity
and success. With this in view we
have decided to do everything in the
best possible way, and our plan of
making the finest terminal station in
this part of the country is in keeping
with this decision.
| In selecting our building for this
station, we are simply taking advantage
of our possibilities, and will be able,
with only comparatively small outlay
of labor and expense, to give the people
every convenience and to make termi.
nal station that will be at once credit
to US and to Minneapolis.
"Our permanent survey is already
being made, and within few weeks
our men and machines will be at work
building our road out of Minneapolis.
We already have secured right of way
for nearly the entire distance to Du
buque, and the holdings that have beer
secured are conservatively valued at 8
million and a half of dollars. With
this start, with the financial backing
that we have, and with the loyal sup
port of thousands of land owners
through Minnesota and Iowa, it is diff
cult to understand how anything but al
unexpected financial panic can interfere
with the completion of the road anc
the bringing into Minneapolis of al
enormous new business now being
diverted to other business centers. -

k.R. CAUsEY ON THE RAILROAD
RATE QUESTION.

In another column OF this Issue or
tho Daily Press Is published an inter
esting. comprehensive review of tho
railroad rate situation, written by
Mr.. Francis +. Causey. While tho
Daily Press may not wholly agree
with Mr.. Causcy in every thought cx-
pressed by the writer, II considers
the article one of the very hest that
has been written In reference To the
subject. and publishes il with the
recommendation that 1t he given care
full consideration by the press of the
Z State, MS we'll ms by everyone else
interested In the question.
Mr.. Cnuscy's discussion of the
question of whether or not II railroag

times gives trouble. or course cv-

lions prescribed for public servants.
Perhaps. however, the average ciu-
tlon in just tho way II is presented
by Mr.. Causcy--nossibly many, even
the railroad companies themselves,
do not always remember the extra
ordinary privileges and rights grant
ed to the railrond; the fact. rs the
writer most APPLY states, that the
railroad ia highway MS well us II

rails and wooden ties for Il turnpike:
and the fact that the railroad exists

bered, it is hard to understand why
anyone, except possibly the compa.
mics themselves can question the
right of the State to demand. ana ii
necessary enforce. reasonable service
md rates from the railways.
In speaking of the problem, What is
a reasonable rato?' Mr.. Causey scores
point when he urges that reason

railroad owners fair profit upon
their Investment. not fair profit
upon the water capitalization OF
the corporation. 1t would he grossly
unfair to the people to call upon them
& to pay dividends upon capitalize
ton which may he made whatever
corporate manipulaSors choose. On
the other hand, however, We do no
believe that u railway company's
earnings should be held down to Tho
point OF a fair profit upon actual in
vestment. There should be happ,
medium somewhere between the &C
