Ignite COAL RATE CASE,

The Ignite coal rate case before the
railroad commission promises to be
quite interesting before the matter is
settled. Some of the railway COM
panies now claim the commission is
without authority to suspend a pro-
posed rate, a contention in which the
commission does not coincide and
which will be combatted strongly it is
understood. AS the matter now stands
the railways will probably file the
contend will automatically restore the
coal rates in force before the maxi
mum rate law is passed, but to further
clear the atmosphere the roads will
very likely file tariffs covering this old
rate, and these tariffs the commission
proposes to suspend pending hear
ing. This right to suspend is chal-
lenged by the roads, but the commits
sion seems very sure of it's position
and will maintain it vigorously and
considerable Importance is attached to
the matter.
In case another appeal is taken to
the courts the coal miners, shippers
and consumers will probably profit as
the fighting will be done while the
rates are at the present status, while,
if the contention of the railways is
maintained and they are able to put
the old rates into effect, they will be
getting the higher rate during the
time the counting is being done, at
least this is the way many conversant
with the situation view things. The
railroad commissioners feel that the
legislature intended to foster and en-
courage the Ignite coal industry by
prescribing maximum rate, and
while the board has no desire to make
a rate non-compensatory or unfair to
the roads, it realizes the Importance of
the development of the coal mining in
dustry and will leave no stone unturn-
ed to carry out the intention of the
Legislature and what it believes to be
the proper sentiment. The hearing in
this case will be held in Bismarck
about the middle of June and will
probably be one of the most important
issues yet before the commission.

M'HUGH CAN'T BE

Chamber of Comerce is Nit Party

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 2.-. G.
Ntzhugh,, secretary of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce, cannot be
compelled to give testimony in the
court action pending in North Dakota
for cancellation of the charter and ap-
pointment of a receiver for the Equity
Cooperative Exchange.
District Judge J. H. Steele made an
order discharging a previous order cit
ing Mr.. McHugh to show cause why
he should not give testimony or be
punished for contempt of court.
"The Chamber of Commerce is not
a party to the North Dakota proceed
ing" said Judge Steele in his men,
orandum. "It's secretary is not par
ty. The petition by the Equity ex-
change calls upon this court to direct
Mr.. McHugh to display any or all rec
ords Of the Chamber of Commerce.
There is no definite, specific informa-
ton called for, but the petition is in
the nature of a fishing expedition,
and the court discharges the order to
show cause"

W. H. Mann, our soldier friend,
proudly displays a solid gold watch,
valued at $50, which he won from the
Pilgrim Watch Company, some time
ago, for writing the best essay of 20
words on "The District of Columbia"
There were 176 competitors and the
accomplishment is one to be proud of.
The essay is not long, and for that
reason was considered all the better
by the company. The essay follows:
"The District of Columbia is ten
miles square. 1t has no capital of it's
own, but is the capital of the United
States. It is a residence city and is
the most beautiful city in the world"

DRY GOODS MARKET

Reports from retailers in many
centers throughout the country show
satisfactory holiday trade, the re.
suits In some cases running ahead
OF expectations, says the Dry Goods
Economist. In wholesale circles there
Is development OF confidence. II
Is recognized that the unprecedented
conditions. which must prevail as long
as the war continues, dictate a certain
degree OF caution; nevertheless, the
general feeling is more optimistic than
of late.
A noteworthy feature OF the week is
the greater firmness in cotton goods.
The announcement OF an advance of
a cent on Southern ginghams Is signi-
ficant. though IL does not affect similar
products Of Northern mills on which
prices were not reduced. The placing
OF a prominent brand OF bleached
goods at value and the statement by
jobbers that they will advance the
same goods next week are also note
worthy. Gray cottons of the print
cloth type are also firmer. Active ad-
vance ordering for Spring has led Job
bers to place repeat orders N fair
quantities with printers.
In the silk market there Is a les
sened offering OF jobs and more extern

being very slow. Domestic manufac-
turers are filling orders placed some
time ago for Spring delivery. and have
enough orders on hand to keep their
looms busy until February LIST. In the
meantime no advance orders are be-
Ing solicited. in view OF the uncertain
~ as TO raw material prices and the
supplies OF wool and dyestuffs.
In knit goods there is some inquiry
for goods suitable for January sales.
Otherwise little movement is expect
ed until the arrival OF the jobbing buy
ers within the next ten days
In the women's garment field the
feature OF the week has been the early
call for waists. which have shown a
fair degree of activity. In other lines
buyers are not yet operating freely,
yet there Is a distinctly more optim-
fstic sentiment among manufacturers.
In the dress accessories field the
most active line Is veilings. Uncer.
