Washington, Jan. 3.-The causes,
but not the cure, for the car shortage
in the northwest and the consequent
coal famine in North Dakota, have
been determined by the members of
the interstate commerce commission
participating in the recent hearings at
Chicago and Minneapolis Franklin r.
Lane, chairman of the investigating
commission, yesterday filed his report
with the full commission and sent it
to President Roosevelt, who ordered
the inquiry. He finds that fair in
ference from all the testimony is that
the real cause of the coal scarcity in
North Dakota was such an abundance
of westbound traffic at the head of the
lakes that cars We're not available IN
the congested state of that terminal
for the carrying of coal to North D3-
kota, a comparatively short haul for a
low class commodity Referring to
the report that the coal shortage was
due to the presence of trust or co1--
bination between dealers in coal, who
fixed prices in the northwest and re-
fusel to sell to Outsiders" and 'irreS
ulars," the report says:
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1907-01-09
Combination Of Dealers.

The commission has gained indis-
putable proof of an agreement he
tween coal dealers to maintain prices
and to boycott all who do not so
agree but there is no evidence at all
justifying the contention that this
combination is chargeable with the
coal shortage prevailing, nor that the
railroads were a party in such a way
to such conspiracy"
The report discusses in detail con-
ditions in the northwest and shows
that the failure of the railroads to
prepare to move grain caused great
financial loss to the people. But %
per cent. OF this years crop has been
moved and $4,000, 900 bushels of grain
are still in North Dakota Because OF
the car shortage the farmer cannot
SELL the report says, because the
country dealer cannot buy. The coun
try dealer cannot buy because Il
country elevator is still full The
country elevator remains full because
the railroad has not moved the grain
from the country elevator to the
terminal elevator. The terminal ele.
vatoTs at Duluth, Superior and Mime
apolis, which ect as great reservoirs,
are almost empty and at no time dur.
ing the season have they been filled to
more than one-third of their capac
ity."

EXPOSITION OF
IRRIGATION AND FORRESTRY

The exposition of irrigated lands
products and forest products which
will be held at Sacramento, Californ-
ia, in September will no doubt be
a great event. The management an
nounces a magnificent list of hand
some and valuable trophies .compris-
ing no less than sixteen handsome
gold and silver loving cups especially
designed and manufactured for the
occasion and offered for interstate
competition by prominent men and
business houses of California and
other states.
Enthusiasm for this event is al
ready being felt, especially through
out the irrigated area. Irrigation dist
ricts are preparing to send their best
in order to capture some of the hand
some prizes. Farmers on irrigated
land are already preparing to forward
prize fruits and grains and vegetGbl-
es.
Interest already manifested
throughout the irrigated area indi-
Gates that this will be the finest ex-
hibition of the products of this coun-
try, and Californians are preparing to
celebrate the occasion with a magnifl-
cent allegorical irrigation parade,
which If carried out along the lines
now contemplated will be the finest
pageant ever witnessed in the west.

THE July DESIGNER

One cannot truthfully say that pat
riotism is dying out when the maga-
zines which are merely reflections,
show the national holidays as faith
fully as they do. The Designer is up
to date in this as in other respects in
its July number. The sketch How
the Flag Came by the Name of Old
Glory" is of considerable historic
cal value And a very graceful and
well illustrated story THE Colonel's
Coming" also is appropriate for the
war-holiday.
As for the fashions in the July
Designer the addition of two success
full and clever artists of the day to
the staff of fashion illustrators. now
makes the illustrations help in the
making of the dress. The dressmak-
ers' article gives full directions for
the construction of a dainty summer
costume. The travelling girl also will
find directions for a practical and in
expensive outfit for boat and train
use.

TIE EXPOSITION CLOSED.

Bright sunshine, with the haas of In
dian summer lingering over the land
scape, greeted the closing day of the
jamestown Exposition, and the attract
i've programme OF the day drew great
croSd from Portsmouth and Norfolk to
the grounds.
Il was a day of pariogs and faiewells
among Tire thousands of exhibitors, con-
cessionaries, state building hosts, en-
ployes and officials. In the evening, in
the Auditorium, President Tucker de-
livered speech reviewing the ExpOsi-
ton and setting forth iis hardships and
It's successes, Director General Martin

credit upon his business control of affairs
recently, and which suggests financial
success had he been in charge from the

lis future is problematic. The goverc-
ment and most other exhibits will remain
intact for 80 days to await action by
Congress as 10 re-opening for four months
next year, beginning with June. Re-
ceivers may be asked TO keep the Ex-
position intact and in readiness for
another year on a prospective sale as a
whole of all the property.
At the concluding exercises President
Tucker reviewed results obtained by the
exposition, recouitine tho obstacles
which had made it a financial failure.
he attributed the lack of success 10 the
unpreparedness OF the exposition upon
the date set for opening. The sum Of
81, S4S, S4S was expended upon the ex-
position buildings and grounds. It was
expected that there would be between
three and four million paid admissions
bat the books show only 2,S00.00O adj
missions, of which only !, 100000 were
paid. Mr.. Tucker declared that the value
of the property exceeds By third the
amount OF indebtedness which is about
81, 600, 600.
President Tucker departed from his set
address to pay his respects to some of the
local newspaper correspondents, declar-
ing that it was their unfair reports sent
out that in part gave the exposition a
black eye aud helped cause its financial
failure. He insisted that the criticisms
upon it early in its history were unfair,
prtiudiced and not deserved.
Virginia's large fruit and perishable
exhibits will be distributed among the
