Furthermore, it must be remem-

will seriously involve the practical ap-
plication of that act Before the city
governing board could proceed under
senate bill No, 9S or at any rate be-
fore 1t could enter into any binding
contract, an election would have to
be called upon the question of a bond
issue. Here is another expense and
delay which may all go for naught II
the arbitrators make an award greater
than the bond issue authorized Or,
let us suppose that the city attempts
to have the award made before the
bond election, and the award Is either
so high that the company would like
to accept it, or so low that 1t would
desire the figures turned down by the
people, another case Is offered for the
mixing into municipal politics by the
public service corporation.
There Is still another supposition.
The private plant may be absolutely
worn out or so inefficient as to be
useless. It might be very disadvan-
tageous for the city to have the plant,
and 1t might be worth little or moth
ing to 1t, although it's intrinsic value
might be considerable (and It must

New Coal Company.

A coal company with q $780,
900 capital has been organized
at White Earth by New York
parties and already $37, 900
worCh of stock has been disposed
of. The Slater mine a mile and
a half south of White Earth has
been purchased and the Great
Northern will build q track to
the mine equipping it with coal
cars.
The coal company will own it's
own engine. The Slater mine is
an especially good one and when
the improvements are all made,
it is expected that 100 tons will
be mined in day.
In addition to mining coal the
company will manufacture brick,
the clay for which is very plenti-
full and easy to get. The clay
has been tested and 1t is said to
make a very good brick.

Jim Hill Afraid to Travel.

James J. Hill recently made a
statement that he was actually
getting afraid to travel, think
ing that every trip would be his
last. This is not strange for Mr..
Hill ought to realize more than
anyone else the condition OF his
road. 1t is said that in many
places, q man can pick out the
spikes which holds the rails to
the ties, with his fingers. No
wonder the rails spread.
This fear OF Hills is akin to
the doctor afraid to take his own

discussion, the committee on polity of

report against church federation with
the Anti-SaIoon League. Tho overture.
which Will be recommended to tho
general assembly for adoption, does
not say that Prcsbytcrians as individ-
unls shall not become members or
officers Of the Anti Saloon League. but
II does set forth that these individ-
uals shall not represent the church
in the league and that their actions In
the cause shall not be considered as
the action OF the church. Therefore
this decision Of the committee Will
knock out certain vital parts of over
lures preceding 1t concerning temper

BY its decision the polity commit
tee also regards the report of the
temperance committee, which asks for
church federation. as unjudicial. The
polity committee believes that the
church should go its way and the
Anti-Saloon League its way, each
helping the other. That the church
should not form n federation. en-
croaching upon the territory of the
