When Buying Fuel

The consumer must always figure on the ac-
tual amount of heat and comfort that is got
ZEN for the InoneV spent.
We believe that our connections of long
standing, coupled with the large amount of
fuel that we buv, make it possible for US to
sell the very highest grades of Coal and Wood
at prices that are cheapest to the consumer.
A trial order of our Coal and Wood, or an
opinion from some of our satisfied customers
will prove that our idea of putting quality
first is correct.

ATTEMPTS TO GUST GOULD.

A financial battle to gain control OF
the Missouri Pacific Railroad was
begun in st. Louis yesterday, it i:
reported, when q New York lawyer
representing the Kuhn & Loeb Stand
ard Oil interests, made q demand foi
the railroads stock books in order thai
the names and addresses OF the stock.
holders might be obtained. The Ne"
York lawyers, accompanied by Attor'
neys F. n. Judson and former Judge
H. 8. Priest, OF St. Louis, went to the
Office of Martin Clardy, general solicitor
for the Missouri Pacific, and asked
that the stock books be surrendered.
The prime object, it was reported. was
to get the stockholders proxies for
use in the election OF March IA, at
which the allied financial interests
hope to wrest control OF the system
from the Goulds. Clardy was not in
his Office, but his assistants spoke for
him. After the three attorneys had de-
parted Assistant Solicitor Merriam
hastily sent q telegram telling OF The
demand that had been made on his
Office.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who hays made
big loans on Missouri Pacific and hold
large blocks of its stock, are said TO be
dissatisfied with the management OF
the road and to be displeased by the
company's failure toresume the 5 per
cent. dividend on common stock
which was suspended in 1907. The
first demand for the records was made
Monday, and at that time stock
ledger was turned over to the lawyer,
but they found on inspecting it that
it did not contain the addresses OF
stockholders. They, therefore, returned
Yesterday With a demand for other
records from which they could get the
addresses.

EUROPEAN NEWS-VIEWS.

London, May 19.-Children are TO
play an important part in the corona
ton festivities. There will be hun
dreds of thousands of little British
ers in parade in honor of King George
and then his majesty has decided that
100, 900 children shall attend the cor
onation fete at the Crystal Palace on
June 80 as his guests. They will be
chosen by ballot. The children to be
invited will be taken in equal pro-
portion from all the public elemen-
tary schools in the administrative area
of the London county council, the
number of boys and girls being equal.
OF the $500, 600, 600 spent by AM
orleans in Europe last year only $25,-
600, 600 it is estimated, fell to the
share of Germany. Wherefore the
Germans are complaining bitterly that
the wealthy Americans persist in Wis
ting England and France and sell
dom go to Germany. For three years
past Berliners have been doing their
utmost to attract tourists. but no
success has resulted. 1t is complain
ed that even Americans who patron
lie the two great German transatlan-
tic lines nearly all disembark at a
French or an English port and do
not even go as far as Hamburg or
Bremen. This year. with the coro-
nation as a huge attraction Germans
have given up hopes of holding their
own, but next year effort will be made
to secure a fair share of the globe
trotters' dollars.
King Peater of Servia finds it hard
to make friends. His ambition has
for years been to make a tour of the
European courts, but there have al
ways been obstacles in the way. Eth
er the situation in Servia did not per-
NIT him to leave the country, or it
was not convenient for the foreign
courts to receive him. The fact is.
the murder of King Alexander and
Queen Draga has not yet been lived
down. King Peater has done his best
to cultivate friendship with his pow
erful neighbor, Austria, and has from
int to time sent out feelers concern
ing a visit to the Emperor Francis
Joseph. The czar has several times
put King Peter off when he suggest
ed visiting st. Petersburg. The only
country where he will receive any
kind of a cordial welcome will be
France where he was educated and
for which he fought in the war of
1870.

CHIEF TALKS TO THE
MINISTER ON VICE

The vice question was up In the
ministers meeting yesterday morn
ing with Chief Hamilton IN hand to
assist in the investigation, says the
salem Statesman. No organized step
is to be taken by the ministers as yet,
the discussion being more in the ma
ture of a vancass of the situation.
Chief Hamilton "a questioned
closely upon all points and upon them
all he readily gave the information
he possessed. The city preachers held
to their orthodox view of the matter
and still believe that there should be
in no town a restricted district. They
ind strength N their belief, according
to DR.. Errett, in the report of the
Chicago vice commission recently
made.
This commission investigated cities
all over the land where the restricted
district is observed and where it is
not, and declared for no district in
any town that wants any moral rat
ing.
The chief of police does not favor
that view of the problem. Personally
ne b'llNNNS Nldl NbllulllullS Nbulu nc
better in Salem if n district where the
denizens of the underworld could be
herded was established. They could
be better watched, he says, while do
ing his best to keep the moral stand
ard up, there are many cases requir-
ing his attention under the present
arrangement, which he does noe hear
OF until 1t is o late. Whereas, 9TH
erwise he feels they might be pre-
vented.
However" the chief stated, what
ever the laws are, these l shall do my
best to uphold"
The ministers state that Chief
Hamilton is making good in carrying
out the wishes of the people and see
ing that the laws on the matter are
obeyed.
