Meeting to Be Held This Evening.
A communication from City At
torney D. D. Morgan, submitted as
a report from the light and water
committee of the city council to that
body on Tuesday evening, was in
effect that it is expected a meeting
Of the city attorney, the special city
attorney, the members Of the light
and water committee and officials of
the light and water company would
be held at the city hall this evening,
at which it is anticipated an agree
ment may be reached as to price and
terms of. paymet for the plant If the
city should feel disposed to buy at
the price to be obtained.
In this connection it is generally
understood, although from what au-
thority We know not, that in case of
an agreement being reached it will
be on much higher plane than the
original price offered by the city in
July last. 1t is also whispered that
taxpayers of the city, or some of
them, may take it into their head to
attempt to protect themselves in the
matter by applying for restraining
order, making it incumbent upon the
city authorities to show that the
price offered and acceptable to the
administration is "a reasonable
price, the wording of the ballot at
the time Of the special election at
which the voters Of the city signified
their desire to possess the plant.
On July 2, 1912, the present city
administration made an offer of a
trifle less than $4,000 for the
plant. Acting upon the presumption
that at that time they offered a
reasonable price," for we do not
think the council individually or as
body would attempt to "steal"
anything, even from the light and
water company, they would likely
have to show the taxpayers where
the additional value has accrued to
the plant since that time should az
offer in excess of that amount be
made at this time,
Upon submission of the report,
however, the taxpayers Of the city
will see what they will see, but in
the meantime it is upto the tax-pay-
ers to perfect an organization to
| look after their own interests.

Lateness in the arrival of steel
and the inability of the mills to
supply iron promptly has resulted in
the retarding of work on the new
power house and car barns being
erected in this city by the Cleveland
Construction company for the new
range traction line, and has also
given the Mesabe Construction COM
pany, the track layers, a setback in
their work However, it is expected
much steel will soon be on the
ground here
The new sub-station at Chisholm,
for which the MacLeod-Smitn COM
pany, Duluth, had the sub-contract
from the Cleveland Construction
company, is being completed this
week, work starting on the roofing
Monday. The local power house is
looming into shape under the direc-
ton of Contractor B. A. Finnigan,
while work on the car barns will be
rushed with the arrival of the steel
from the east.
In their trip over the range trac-
ton line route this week Chief En-
gineer C. E. Thomas of the Mesaba
Construction company and his men
found that track laying had pro-
crossed very favorably.
According to the contractors the
entire line would have been ready
for use by Christmas were it not for
the labor shortage of the summer
months, but with fair weather they
expect to have the new road in op-
GRAFTON next spring.
The street cars to be used on the
line have bee2 built at Niles, Ohio,
and are now ready for shipment.
Much equipment for the power
house, car barns and sub-station has
already arrived and will be installed
with the completion of the three
structures.

The local rooters who attended the

The local backfield and line show

complimented for whipping his men
into shape, though discouraged by
the early showing made by the boys.
All the players returned in the
afternoon conforming with a pledge
that they would be back the same
day.
This was McCabe's first game OF
the season, he playing despite his
collar bone injuries. His kicking
and line. plunging were among the
features of the game.
Sullivan and Rooney, formerly in
the backfield played on the line, the
other linemen being Byrnes, Forti,
Gustafson, McCabe, Doig. In the
backfield Cussons played his second
game of the season as quarterback
and proved a good general Of play
and seldom fumbled any passes.
Stein, McCabe and Denyes completed
the backfield.
The opponents used the same line
up which met the locals here earlier
in the season.
The locals are assured strong

CHEAPER RUBBER.

There is good reason 10 believe that the
distinguished European chemists who for
some years past have been experimenting
with the object OF producing artificial rub
her have at last succeeded in their quest.
The new rubber is made from starch,
which. by q process Of fermentation dis
covered by Professor Fernbach, Is convert
ed into one-third part acetone and two
thirds butyl alcohol or fusel oil. From
these substances by chemical means syn
thetic rubber is produced which is claimed
10 be. like the natural rubber. capable Of
ynlcanization Rubber so made Is said 10
he Identical with natural rubber in all re-
snects. The discoveries Of the starch proc
ess declare that the new rubber can be put
mon the market for "a cents pound.
a degree OF certitude IL given 10 the an
no,ncement OF this important discovery

William Ramsay ana Professor PcrkIn IN

because OF It's steadily increasing use

RAMSAY saws: THE greatest advantage or

PETITION FOR TAFT TICKET
Electors in California Probably
Will Favor Roosevelt.

San Francisco. June PA peculiar situa-
ton has arisen in California regarding the
election Of members OF the Electoral Col
lege. Under the primary law in this state
the nominees Of the various parties TO the
state Legislature. together with the hold
over Senator's. will meet october ! TO nomi-
nate the party candidates for the Electoral
College, but the name of the Presidential
nominee will not appear on the ballot in
November.
In California, with the Republican po-
l!tical machinery dominated at present by
Theodore Roosevelt's supporters, the elect
ors nominated by the state Senators and
Assemblymen may easily be Roosevelt men,
who would secure the regular Republican
column on the ballot submitted to the
voters in November. In that event, II the
supporters Of the President placed an
electoral ticket IN the field they probably
would have to do so by petition II that
can be done.

PENR0SE MAY RULE AGAIN
Begins Fight on Finn for Control
in Pennsylvania.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.

Philadelphia, June 24.-With the defeat
Of Theodore Roosevelt in the national con-
vention, William Finn leader of the new
Republican organization in Pennsylvania
since the last state convention is no longer
the dictator in this state. and the return OF
Senator Boise Penrose TO power is consid-
cred a certainty.
Penrose now plans TO call another meet
ing of the Republican state Convention, to
be held at Harrisburg in September. At
Chicago last night he threw down the
gauntlet to Finn and, full of enthusiasm.
is rounding up his former lieutenants and
making preparations TO resume his former
sway In the party.
Finn was the cause Of his own undoing
After routing Penrose at the last state con-
ventlon and being unanimously selected
Republican leader in Pennsylvania, the con-
vention adjourned at his request. His mo-
ton asked that the convention be ad-
jorrned sine die. Penrose Is now making
use Of the right to reconvene the conyen-
ton as granted by Films own motion.
The organization OF the third party has
led Penrose to believe that the Republican
majority In this state no longer favors
Finn and Roosevelt. When the convention
meets again he purposes to have the vote
by which the Presidential electors were
chosen reconsldered. He will make an
effort to have Taft electors named, so as
to avoid the possibility Of bolt in the
Electoral College.
The Finn faction Is prepared to fight.

in which he said he refused to support tn
