The report declares that while at times
more than $780, 100000 is unnecessarily re-

the ground that an official of the order
informed her that she would reap the
benefits if she continued to pay. the

FRIENDS OF BILLS FEARFUL.

Friends of the anti-injunction and con-

these friends have been more and more
insistent upon such action
But the Senate committee took up other
measures at its meeting today and adj

Dispensing With Coal.
From the Chicago Journal.


Switzerland is showing the world low
to get along without coal for power pur-
poses. The waters Of the Swiss repub-
lie can furnish more than 2O0o,oo horse
power. One-third of this is already de-
veloped and used. Aside from the rail-
ways, which may be electrified before
long, nearly all the work of Switzerland
is done by electricity developed at water
falls.
This shows that another interesting
change i'm industry and In the centers or
population has begun.
In primitive times, men gathered Where
they could get food. and their cities
were built on fat plains, like Memphis
in Egypt and Babylon in Asia. Later
trade routes determined the location OF
cities and Alexandria and Conscientious
prospered. Then man began to harness
the forces of nature, coal first OF all,
and promptly towns arose in the neigh
borhood of coal beds.
With increasing development OF hydro
electric power, there will be still another
shift.
The Mississippi valley can view al
these changes with Indifference. This
valley is supreme in food. coal and trade
facilities and is second to none I'm water
