AUXILIARY GAS MAIN
Union Light, Heat g. Power Co, to In
stall a Second Gas Main Over
the South Bridge.

In order to cope with winter difficult
ties and prevent a disruption in its
gas service in Moorhead, Manager Hib-
bard Of the Union Light, Heat & Power
Co, announces that as soon as prac-
ticable an auxiliary gas main will be
laid acros the south bridge. This
winter more than aver the company
has had difficulty in maintaining its
service as satisfactory as 1t should
have been. The supply pipes leading
over the bridge to Moorhead are OF
course exposed to the weather and as
gas can't be made free from water the
pipes at intervals have frozen, and
trouble ensued.
Referring to this yesterday, Manager
Hibbard explained: I'VE appreciate
the patronage given us by Moorhead
and we are going to do everything in
u power to remedy the difficulty at
the south bridge. We will today COM
plete the installing of a second line
across the bridge, giving two indie
pendent service lines over the bridge.
If one freezes up we have merely to
turn the flow into the other line while
the first is being thawed out. We hope
that this will prove a solution of the
difficulty, but the public of Moorhead
can be assured that If this plan does
not prove satisfactory, ONE other plan
will be tried"

Chicago News: Many a gold mine,

G.ne of the favorite ways is for a dis

Sometimes a mule plows up the
earth and discloses untold riches to

way is for a pretty girl to kick the

gold mine. particularly il the proprie-

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago. Jan. 27.-Wheat: The
ket ruled very strong all day with q
much larger trade. Prices advanced
steadily with buying of a good char
actor. shorts also covered freely.
Foreign markets generally strong.
There was a moderate demand for
cash wheat and Minneapolis reported
a fair demand, 1t was estimated that
France will require at least 10000
0e0 bushels to help them out until the
new crop comes in. AS they only
buy good quality of wheat, the cues
ton is where are they going to get
from outside of Australia and this
country, as good wheat the world ever
Is scarce. Our Paris correspondents
ten us they think the French crop
was over estimated and the offerings
in the country are light. We regard
the situation as healthy and look for
prices to gradually work higher and
continue advise buying on any little
set back. -Chas. E. Lewis & Co.
