Man Who Served in Three Campaigns

At this time Of year in Fargo, when

Sergeant Coleman on the charge of
vagrancy. They pleaded guilty before
Judge Ryan this morning and were
committed to the county Jail for SEN

PLATTS STATEMENT
Coal Dealer Insists That There Is
Discrimination Against the Coal
Men.

To The Forum: Replying to the
statement of City Attorney Resser in
last nights Forum, that he would be
only too glad to prosecute il Mr.. Platt
would make a complaint against other
venders, would call his attention to
the fact that the city ordinance covers
but three commodities. viz: Coal.
wood and hay, and any right minded
citizen can plainly see that we are en-
titled TO the same protection from
grocers, butchers, feed men, lumber
dealers, ice men, etc. The fact is, flve
firms OF this city are picked out to
pay in revenue to the city of approx
imately 5000 per month, and this, too
after paying their regular taxes. Mr.,
Resser says other dealers have scales
that are tested by the sheriff. We
tco, have scales, approved by the
sheriff, for which we pay So per year
Now as to my arrest, my good
friend (?) Hazeluuist, who made the
complaint, must Rave felt aggrieved
because we did not haul his coal ov3E
the streets, sixteen blocks. as we would
have to have done. had we hauled
10 the city scales. at cost of thirty
minutes OF our time, and 35 cents oi
our money before starting in the di-
rection OF his residence, as he makes
no complaint OF cuaI.tity, quality OF
price. or in fact that we sent second
man to rehandle his coal in his base
mont. in order to get in the quantity
ne ordered We. as representative
business men, are entitled to a fail
deal by the city council, and a-s con.
C4nt that we can get 1t, and to thai
end the matter will properly be laid
before them. T. D. Platt

was the heaviest wind recorded In
Fargo and Moorhead
Passenger Trains Delayed.
Railroad men say nat had there
been heavier fall of snow. nothing
could have kept the trains from being
tied up, as the wind was drifting the
snow that did fall In bad shape all
though there was not enough OF It to
do material harm.
However, the high wind and the
slick rails made some OF the fast pas
senger trains late. Train No. on the
Northern Pacific was two hours late
while No 6'was an hour and fifteen
minutes behind the scheduled time.
The 0rientai Limited on the Great
Northern was an hour and q half

Of the branch lines will be tied up

may arise. The officials are keeping

ITO those In touch with the railroad

zette, "it is not surprising that the rec
ord OF new main track laid during the

stantial decrease; the surprising thing
is the amount OF mileage which was

In 1908, according TO the best OBJ
tainable statistics gathered from al.
the railroads in the United States, q, ,210
miles were laid. while a similar record
for 1907 shows 5,212 miles. This is a
decrease for 1908 OF 1,s9S miles, or ss.S
per cent. and Is the smallest new mile
age since 1904.
AS indicating sectional development
1t is noted that only TIC miles were
laid east OF the Mississippi river In
1908, as compared with 1884 miles In
1907, decrease Of bs.6 per cent, West
OF the Mississippi the, decrease was
