FUEL FAMINE POSSIBLE
OVER IN NORTH DAKOTA
Inability to Get Sufficient Cars to Haul
Wood Will Be the
Cause.

Grand Forks Herald: Prospects
for a wood famine in North Dakota
are excellent, according to L. B.
Gibbs, wholesale coal and wood
dealer, of this city, who has re-
Ceived communications from dealers
In towns -iu the northern half Of tho
state, saying that they have abso-
lutley no wood on hand and there is
a heavy demand for the same. While
many of the country dealers put in
supply of coal they have neglected
to order wood early.
The result is rather serious situ-
alton, with winter not far distant.
Wholesalers have found it impossi-
Bile to get wood. Orders placed
over two weeks ago have not been
filled, and there is no prospect of
them being filled at an early date
In letter to Mr.. Gibbs, H. E.
Still, assistant general freight agent
of the Northern Pacific railway, says
in regard to the prospects of secur-
ing equipment for wood loading:
The prospects are very dubious
at this writing. We cannot secure
sufficient amount of equipme MT to
take care of our loading of mer-
chandise and other freight of this
nature at terminals and our houses
have recently been compelled to
shut down and refuse to accept
freight in several instances. Our
requirements for grain loading are
very pressing. We have a great
many elevators that are full of grain
that are compelled to turn it away
when firms present it.
1T is our intention to divide ou1
equipment as equally as possible
between the leaders, and in this
division the wood dealer will re-
ceive his share. I can frankly say
however, that his share is going tt
be extremely slim for the present."
There is plenty of wood in north
ern Minnesota, but if sufficient car
are not provided to haul the woot
to the western prairies the situation
over there will not be relieved t.
any great extent this winter owe
what it was last season.

BROTHER OF DR.. CURRENT
DIED TODAY IN DAKOTA
Coach of Bemidji Football Team Called
Away to Attend Funeral at
New UIm.

DR.. Earl H. Current of Minnea-
polls, who arrived in the city Wed
nesday evening to act as coach for
the Bemidji high school football
team, received a telegram today
from Dickinson, N. D., announcing
that his brother, John R. Current,
had died at Dickinson at O'Clock
this morning.
DR.. Current will be compelled to
leave Bemidji and return to Min
neapolis to be present at the funeral
and burial of his late brother.
DR.. Current was for three years
fullback on the University of Min
nesota champion football team, and
he won universal praise for pre-
eminence in that position.
The doctor graduated from the
medical department of the Univer-
sity last spring, and has since then
been connected with Minneapolis
hospital.
He was prevailed upon to come to
Bemidji to take charge of coaching
the high school football team, in
preparation for a number of hard
contests which the team has on it's
} schedule. He gave the bows hard
practice yesterday and they we're
just beginning to move rapidly.
The unfortunate death of Mr..
Currents brother is greatly regretted
: here, as the high school boys will be
2 deprived of the services of their
. coach. 1t is not likely that anyone
: can be secured at this late date 10
v coach the team.
=. John R. Current, who died at
I Dickenson, was % years of age. He
l was a graduate of the academic and
| law department of the University o1
/ Minnesota. In 1906 he went tc
:, Dickinson, where he has been prac
: ticing law ever since.
DR.. Current states that the bod,
of his brother will probably be taker
to New Ulm for burial.

CHILD BITTEN BY DOG;
DOG AFTERWARDS KILLED
Little Bernice Dalton Knocked Down
and Face Lacerated by Teeth
of Canine.

Little Bernice Dalton, the 6-year.
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Dalton, was quite severely
injured by dog, last evening, which
knocked her down aud damaged her
face so that the services of physi-
clan were necessary to dress her
wounds.
The little girl, in company with
two other children, was in front of
the Campbell restaurant, when a
large black dog that has been in the
possession of Mike Seberger came
along by the children.
Stories differ somewhat as to lust
what happened, but those who saw
the accident assert that the dog
brushed against the little girl and
knocked her down, afterwards catch
ing her lip in his teeth and making
a bad wound before releasing his
hold.
Thomas Dalton, father of the girl,
heard her screams, and after rushing
out of the restaurant and taking
her in the house, followed the dog
to the alley at Ross hardware store,
where he secured rifle. The gun
was handed to bystander, who took
a shot at the dog. The bullet took
effect in the dogs leg, but was not
fatal, and the animal escaped.
The little girl was taken to the
office of DR.. Gilmore, where her
wounds were dressed.
Mike Seberger shot the dog this
forenoon, killing it.
The Dalton girl, while much
frightened and receiving a painful
bite, is not very seriously injured =

HAS DRAWN ALL STATE
MONET TnUm TUE URiHKO
The October School Apportionrnent
Takes the Funds the State Has
on Deposit.

St. Paul, Oct. 25.-Today State
Treasurer Dinehart will drain every
bank in the state of every dollar
Minnesota has on deposit with it.
In the three big cities the slate has
been wiped clean, and notice was
sent out to the country banks to get
ready for the touch"
The big touch" is to enable the
payment of the October school appor-
tionment which calls for over SI,OOO,-
900. The checks are now ready
and will be sent to every district in
the estate Friday.
Besides this, Mr.. Dinehart and
State Auditor Iverson have pre-.
pared the warrants for the distri-
button of the special aid to rural
graded schools, amounts to s775,OOO.
These will have to be held up, how
ever, for few weeks because of the
lack Of money, and even longer,
MIR. Dinehart says, if this eastern
furry continues.
Banks just now are unwilling to
part with the long time money,
even at the prevailing rate of inter-
est, he says. Money is in demand
and they can do better in other
ways. With the first of the year
taxes will be coming in, not to speak
of revenue from other sources, and
then the state will be able to settle
without any recourse to the banks.

house, on lot S, block l, Carson's
addition, to ]. F. Boss, the consider.
alton being good-sized one.
Mr.. Pogue recently purchased the
property, the house being in
rather dilapidated condition, and
the premises entirely neglected. He

with fine basement, and the house
is equipped with hot.water heating
plant and bath rooms, the whole

Mr.. Boss one of the finest residences
in the city.

False Fire Alarm.

At about 1880 this forenoon,
police headquarters was telephoned
that there was a fight, or something
to that effect, going on at Browns
restaurant. John McElroy, who
was in charge of the station and
took the message from the wire,
interpreted the talk" that there
was a fire, and Immediately began
a vigorous alarm to that effect.
Members Of the fire department
responded promptly, but it was
learned that there was no fire, and
no water was turned on.
No damage or loss, only some
good.natured Kidding"

Installing Water Service.

Mayor Pogue is installing water
service in his residence and also in
the building adjoining his home,
which he has sold to J. F. Boss. In
order to get the service the mayor
has been compelled to excavate for
mains from the corner Of Fourth and
lrv1n5 ~~~: oIocK to the ~ev1.er-of
Fourth and Mississippi avenues.
He expects to have the service in
by the first of next week.

for them, even if every other interest
closed its doors. Today the farmers
can hold the major part of the pro-
duct of their fields in their own
granaries, and they would do this
whatever the money supply might
be.
The East is just narrow strip
shut off by the mountains. This
side lies the great Mississippi valley,
the region of perennial plenty.
Mines may close, railroad building
may stop, electric line prospects
may be postponed, water powers
may be left undeveloped, and other
resources of the earth may remain
undisturbed, but the farmers will
plow and sow and reap, and the
earth will give forth its riches in
return.
1t has been proverbial among the
officials of the Great Northern that
the one class of requests invariably
granted, if they could get to Mr..
Hill, was that which came from the
farmers. In this he has been wiser
than his generation and he has
reaped his harvest in dividends.
But it is lesson others can learn
and just now is a good time to
learn it. Agriculture is and always
has been the only sure basis of pros
perity, and to the farmer the West
owes its undisturbed security in a
financial crisis which in the East
is acute and threatening.

THE FRANCHISE QUESTION.

A company of Greeley and Denver
men have taken the preliminary
steps for asking the city council to
grant them a SO year franchise for a
street railway system for Greeley.
We believe we know the metal of the
present city council we'll enough to
know what they will do with thing
of that kind. If the franchise is
granted at all 1t will be made rea-
sonable before It Is passed. II there
is a legal right to grant such a
franchise there shouldn't be. II we
have the right to dispose Of the
heritage Of three or four generations
to come we should at least use that
right with common sense and dec
ency.
The Tribune is not opposing any
thing that legitimately tends for ;
greater Greeley, but it does oppos
disposing of something, figured OF

and which in fifty years from no,
may be worth millions. We d

failure. In philanthropy, art

they are distinctly out of place
The religious fanaticism OF
women must also be Ieckoned with
and the fact that they are largely
dominated by clergymen, both OF the
Protestant and Catholic churches.
Let well known clergyman espouse
any cause, and the women of his fiock
will follow him unreasoningly, even
If his ideas are opposed to the public
welfare. This fanaticism leads
women to seek to impose their re-
lig,uus views on the community.

not specify and fully guarantee a fail

Loveland Grand Canon.

The first canon on the Big Thomp-
son river, formerly known as the Big
canon, was christened Tuesday by
the Loveland chamber Of commerce
as the Loveland Grand canon.
About so members and visitors un-
veiled the large sign which had been
erected at the mouth Of the canon
bearing the inscription "Loveland
Grand Canon, Gateway to Estes
Park"
The exercises we're held on the
roadway from Loyeland to the park,
where 1t enters the canon with a
perpendicular wall Of rock on one
side and the Big Thompson river on
the other at about 30 feet below.
The signboard stood in command
ing position just across the river.
George G. Briggs, 10 brief address,
formerly christened the canon In the
name OF the Loveland chamber OF
commerce. the people OF Loveland
and the citizens of Larimer county.
Then followed brief addresses from
W. j. Galligan, president Of the
chamber of commerce: Attorney e.
s. Allen, Rev. A. w. Jameson and
Rev. A. F. Ragatz, all OF Loveland.
An original dedication ode was read
by Rev. w. Fl. McCreery, which
was then sung by the entire audi.
ance, and Rev. r. F. Smith closed
the program with tine benediction.
This is one Of the nest beautiful
and picturesque canons in the Rocky
mountains and for about one and a
half miles In length has abrupt
walls of rock 200 to 500 feet high.
The Loyeland and Estes Park road
Is cut INTO the side of the wall, with
the roadbed and the river occupying
the entire space between the walls
for the entire distance.
