Harry kneeshalw Moves. lbs Family
10 BTOWerViIle this Week ~

l: Harry Kneeshaw one Of the best
and most favorably known young bust,
ness men Of this city, is to leave Devils
Lake this week for tBrowerVille, MINI,
where he will make his future home.
He has secured a position with the
James B. Hart e Sons company OF that
city and will be general manager for
three Of their large stores, which are
located at $BroWerville, Hibbing and
Long Prairie in Minnesota. S
Mr.. Kneeshaw and his family have
lived in Devils Lake for a number Of
years and during their residence here
they have made. a great many; friends
who. will regret their departure from
the city. Harry has been one Of the
most popular young men that has ever
come to Devils Lake and probably has
as many friends here as any one that
ever lived here. He is hustling young
business man and generally makes a
success of anything he undertakes and
the new. firm engaging his services
will find in him a hustler who will ever
be awake to the interests of the CON

of the Union Pacific has not changed.
The men who actually own the pro-
perties are not affected by the decline
in prices. The man who owns stocks
because of their .dividends-earn
capacity is interested only in the divi-
dends and cares very little about the
quotations. Indeed lower quotations
sometimes are attractive to him, be-
cause he can add to his holdings and
his dividends cheaply.
The fall in the price of stocks dir
ectly affected only the margin gambler
who 'buys" thousand shares by in
vesting the value of fifty or one hum
'dred, whose name has seldom or never
appeared on the stock books of rail-
road or industrial corporations. But
while actual values were not affected
an iota, the Juggling" of the market
disturbs legitimate business because
it upsets finances. Huge sums are re-
CURED for stock transactions. The
machinery of business is dislocated
and sometimes stopped. The system
is menace to the country.

THE RAILROADS

ELEcTRlFYiNG THE RAILROADS.
Tne far western railroads are work
ing on an experiment which may bring
about immense changes in the motive
power of all the lines in the United
States. In this instance the east will
profit by the daring of the west. Pro-
gress may reverse the usual direction
of it's movements. ~r.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad is making an investigation of
the feasibility of running all it's trains
with electricity through the Bitter
root tunnel. More than this, the Can
adian Pacific is working on plans for
the Identification of the entire Rocky
Mountain division. The Great North
ern only recently put wires in the Cas-
I cade tunnel which rises at an unusual
ly steep grade. Here there was a con-
slant menace of trains breaking loose
and causing the suffocation of passen-
gers and crews in the locomotive

The presence of immense water
power, of course, gives the western
lines an advantage over the eastern,
but it is well known that there is a
great amount of power going to waste
every year for want of utilization-in
the Alleghanies, in the hill country of
New England; New York: and Ohio.
Besides this there is the coming gen.

the pollution of the atmosphere with

through large communities. Today the

by electricity, both overhead wires
and third rails being employed.

THE BOYS FROM THE FARM.

Many of the sailors on the great
armored fleet that has just completed
a voyage of over 100000 miles around
the world were born on farms,and
never saw a ship or salt water nutil
two or three years ago. Yet they
have been full working part of this
historic journey and return as effect
ives in the navy. On warship the
training is thorough and constant and
the discipline is strict The men on
such a vessel are always under the
immediate eye of their officers and en-
gagged in duties in which any lack of
attention or aptness is plainly in evil
dence. If any one of the sixteen battle
ships in the feet had been lax in it's
management or inferior in it's crew
the fact would have been manifest
and proved drawback to the general
success.
The whole voyage has been one of
remarkable smoothness and prof.
cheney. Everything has been done
with regularity and precision, under
all varying circumstances of wind and
weather, and of sailing in, some waters
little travelled. In the wars of the
United States dhe volunteers who ser
we'd in the armies have a great record
They became soldiers quickly and of a
type never surpassed. On warshiI
the. training is necessarily more rigid
and more technical. Some of the boys
from the farms are now expert marks
men with that triumph in mechanics
modern big gun. All the men on the
feet deserve high credit. But some
hard marine advantages not open t.
the boys on the farms. Perhaps the
old sailors called them hayseeds. Blu
their mettle is better known now. 49,

Cheap Gas in Massachusetts,.

Not long ago the Springfield CIass)
Gsslight Company voluntarily reduced the
price Of gas to the ordinary consumer
from IS to 50 cents a thousand cubic
feet. This rate applies to a monthly con-
sumption less than 5000 cubic feet For
consumption In excess Of that amount
the new rate is IS cents instead of the
former rate Of IS cents. The reduction has
called attention TO the low prices charged
for gas by number of Massachusetts,
cities.
While the New York gas monopoly. 90

been fighting at great expense law re-
ducing its prices to 80 cents. the Boston
Consolidated Company Is voluntarily Of

scale law, with the result of stimulating
an enormous consumption 1t appears,
Furthermore. that from so to 80 cents is
becoming a quite common price for gas
