TOLD OF PROPOSITION AT COM:
1[ERCIAL CLUB MEETING
OTHER MATTERS TAKEN UP

"A. very interesting meeting was held
by the Commercial club Monday eve
ming, at the city hall. The attendance,
however, was small. The principal mat
ter taken up was the Luce electric line
proposition.
!, Geo. Kiewel, chairman Of the com

F. Koslosky, Geo. Moeglein and himself
had made trip to Minneapolis espe-
cially for that purpose. MIR. Kiewel s
report was summarily as follows:
Colonel Luce proposes to build an
electric railway system in this state, to
be divided into FIVE separate lines, each
radiatirg out from the twin cities. He
PROPOSES to run one Of these lines to
Little Falls, beginning in Minneapolis
and running northwest through Foley,
the village of Buchanan and to Little
Falls. The line to Little Falls viii
make the distance from Minneapolis to
Little Falls only SO to 90 miles.
In order to get this line to Little
Falls there must be sold 10000 worth

ing figured on the basis Of mileage
from southern part of Morrison county,
to which point the line is already sched-
uled to run, stock having been SUBJ

would be issued to the buyers at face
value, one share of preferred stock
having value of 500 and one common
share valued at $50 being given as one.

After MI. Kiewel had submittol the
proposition as put up to the con:miltee
Mr.. Luce, seve:sl =of the nteniters Of
the club asked questions, principally as
to whether Little Falls could get d
guarantee that the Luce. line would
| come here. One member. stated that n
his opinion it would take but q short
time to raise 100000 in Lite Fails
without issuing a single share Of stock,
providing a. satisfactory guarantee
could be secured that the line would
come here. Mr.. l<iewel Informed the
meeting that Mr.. Luce did not ask for
donations and doubted if he would ac-
cept any. His plan, and only plan Of
! fin ncing the proposition, Mr.. Kiewel
said, was through stock subscriptions.
Another person asked if Mr.. Luce
thought it would require SO months
time to. complete the line to Little
Falls He was Informed, that Luce had
stated that in all probability the line
would be completed in less than 20
! months, but that SO months was asked
: as 'precautioI,
Mr.. Kiewe1, upon being asked as to
his personal opinion Of the proposition,
stated that he thought it was the best
he has ever seen i'll Minnesota. The
capital already invested, and the fact
that the company operates over more
track of it's own than any other cleo
trio line III the state, prove this, he
/ said.
Mr.. Koslosky, stated that the propo-
sition looked very good to him and sug-
gested that the board of directors Of
the club make further investigation and
report at the next meeting. This sug-
gestion was put in the form Of mo-
ton and carried unanimously.
Secretary Willard read letter from
| A. Zimmerman of Pierz, in which he
stated that he had secured patent up
on motor boat propeller for use in
marine work, which he had einvented
and which he wished to manufacture.
He said that he would like to have the
patent manufactured at Little Falls
and asked what proposition the city
could offer. The letter was referred to
the secretary who will take the matter
up futher with Mr.. Zimmerman. -
The question; "Why does not Little
Falls get the new postoftice building,
for which congress made an appropria-
tiion several years agoa" came up and
the members stated that they thought
an inquiry should be made. The secre-
tary" was instructed to write Congress-
man Lindbergh, requesting him to find
out, if possible, the cause of the delay.
/ A. F: Koslosky brought up the mat
ter Of trying to get company Of tho
state militia organized in this city. The
secretary was. instructed to write Adju-
tant General Fred Woods and inquire
as to how a company could be organ

Dan, and honors we're easy until one

Honolulu began to smell a rat and ac-

GREAT NORTHERN IS
HANDY SOLUTION OF
TlE-UP, SAYS PALMER

John A. Palmer. deputy tax assessor
OF Honolulu, and proprietor OF the
CORTLAND hotel, who is now visiting
in the states, has written to f. A.
Berndt, chairman of the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee, warning the people
of Honolulu against opposition to the
Coastwise Law.
Mr. Palmer has been studying the
steamship Question from that side OF
the ocean and urges the people OF
these Islands to study carefully before
making up any decision to ask for sus.
pension, through the fear that such
suspension would drive the Matson
company from the passenger business.
Mr.. Palmer thinks that the solution
OF Il. e. Question of congested passenger
traffic lies with the Great Northern
Steamship company, which he hopes
may be induced to put one or more
liners on the nun to Honolulu. The
steamship companies are in no mood
Sto be trified with, according TO Mr.
Palmer, for the Seamen's Act has hit
them hard, and they consider that the
government has interfered with their
business.
