TWO CENT RATE IN MINNESOTA
Railroads Will Make No Move to
Change the Schedule

st. Paul, March IA report came
from Chicago today that the railroad:
doing bushes in Missouri decided, at a
meeting of their presidents or vice pres
idents yesterday, to file a three cent
tariff in Missouri and to bring about
ii possible, Il return to the three cent
rate throughout the west.
The executives are said to have de.
cided that legal proceedings to annul
the twO-cent rate should be begun in
all states where such proceedings are
not now in progress, and that the
current suits should be pressed vigor.
ously.
No changes of rates will be made in
the Minnesota territory, for some time
at least. On this local railroad men
agree.
"Olr road was represented at the
Chicago meeting" c. Fl. F. Smith, one
OF the receivers of the Chicago Great
Western road, said today. "But we
have not joined any movement 10 Gel
back the three cent rate. In Mis-
souri,. where our mileage is small, we
would naturally wait until something
had been done by roads with larger
interests. In Iowa, or where our in.
tcrests are relatively large, | suppose
we would join other roads in case they
began an effort to abolish the two-c cent
rate. But we've done nothing so far
THE two-cent rate doesn't give the
Chicago Great Western any profit on
its passenger buiness. As a matter
of fairness the rate hould certainly
-be Increased enough TO afford the com.
,pany a reasonable profit and to pro.
vide the public, at the same time. with
proper facilities. But just what the
rate should be | don't care to suggest
at this time"
General Manager s. C. Stickney said
that the 21s cent rate appeals to him
as about right. 1t would give mis-
company some profit. But other COM
panies in the northwest, as he knows
think two cents sufficient Hence, he
feels sure that the interested roads
have not, as reported, come to any
unanimous agreement to work in favor
OF restoring the three-cent rate. And
he has heard of no movement to that
effect in which the Chicago Great
Western has ioinad

New York, March livery year
as st. Patrick's day rolls around Irish
men feel offended and grow indignant
at the postals sent out by the thou

anger and annoyance because they are

Spring LuncheOns.

Spring luncheons are very much in
the air and so attractive can they be
made that they are becoming very pop
ular. The table decorations should
suggest all that is sprink- like and with
daffodils, tulips, narcissus, hyacinths,
lilies of the valley, sweet peas and
ferns as heralds of spring the table
can be made veritable bower. Moth
ing can be prettier at this time of the
year than basket effect, those having
high handles and filled with all colors
OF spring flowers. Smaller baskets
are used at each cover, filed with a
different kind OF flower and ribbon to
match, to which the place card may be
attached. This gives gala appearance
to- the tables, besides being q. well
come change from the regulation one
eolor-l luncheon scheme. The baskets
may be used as favors for each guest.
Suggestions for menu.
Grape fruit cocktail
Sailed almonds Olives Celery
Cream of tomato soup

s Potato croquettes
Apple and nut salad Maple parfait
Coffee Toasted crackers Cheese
Candied rose leaves
A suggestion for st. Patrick's af-
fair is the revival of the cobweb party
with the, slight variation of using all
green Irvine or ribbon instead of a
variety of colors as is the usual custom.

Mr.. Nelson Silent Relative to the Gun
derSOn Resolution.

Washington, March l5.--The resolu-
tions of the Minnesota state senate
indorsing Senator Gunderson of Alex
andria for the federal judeeship reached
Washington today. Just what effect
this action on the part of the senate
will hove on the question of appoint
ing successor to Judge Purdy is not
known, as Senator Nelson would not
discuss the matter. Among Senator Mel
sons friends here the action of the
state senate is said to be due to ac-
tiyity OF some of Mr.. Purdy's friends
who are seeking to embarrass Mr.
Nelson because of his opposition to

men went to unmarked graves that
day when disputes arose over the pos
session OF a piece OF land. Thousands
Of quarrels were engendered, which
afterwards resulted in contests.
The parade across the borders OF
Kansas into the promised land was
one Of the most unique recorded in
American history. Rushing with mad
speed to gain advantage over a com.
petitor and to have a first choice OF
the land. the thousands OF horseback
riders surged in a broken line all day
across the Oklahoma praires. Many
a noble animal fell under the terrible
strain imposed and many a rider set
out on the rest of his journey on foot
or swerved to one side to obtain the
best plot OF ground obtainable. II

arbor of brush was erected to take the
place of a home. 1t was usually
followed by a rough dug-out. But the

pioneers days lived in the future, and
the hardships that they encountred
have amply been repaid by the fulfill.
