VOTED BONDS
TEN MILLION VOTED TO BE SOLD
LATER-DIRECTORS TO
BE NOMINATED,

At a meeting of the stockholders
of the Luce Electric line yesterday
forenoon in the Phoenix building, in
Minneapolis. the issue of $40, 600, 900
in bonds was authorized, w. r. Rey-
representative stockholders were
present, and when the conditions
were presented to them, no hesita-
tion was shown in authorizing the
issue. 1t is understood that this was
an authorization only. Due to the
unsettled financial conditions and
the high price of materials the bonds
will not be sold at the present time.
AT the opening there was some in
clination on the part of some of the
rural members, who wished better
connection with a secondary market
for grain, to push the construction.
1t was shown them that this course
would not be feasible, inasmuch as
steel which a year or so ago cost $2S
a ton now would cost about $50, and
that labor and other material would
be as high in proportion, and equal
ly difficult both to buy and have
transported. Many were delegated
by communities of stockholders, and
others armed with proxies. But on
the presentation of the facts concern
ing the market conditions, no stock
vote was taken, as the reclamation
voice was almost unanimous.
Resolutions were also adopted for
charging the present directorate.
There are now five directors. and
they are all interested in the sepa-
rate terminal company as well as in
the line itself. 1t is now purposed
that stockholders throughout the
country be allowed to select from
among the various communities di-
rectors. The method purposed is
that we. for instance, nominate from
among local stockholders one man as
director, and send his name to the
present directorate. Upon the prop
er showing they will confirm a nom
ination of the majority.
Mr.. Reynolds expresses himself as
being very we'll satisfied with the
conditions of the project. The road
has no bonded indebtedness. and only
such other Indebtedness as can be
covered by accounts receivable. The
rolling stock is more than adequate
to conduct the business. and there if
great confidence reposed in the of
ficials and directors.
President Luce is called to France
with the army. and is DESTROYS t.

possible before severing personal con
nection with the business. He is
deeply involved in the project. and
intensely anxious for it to come to
a successful and popular termination

tween which he holds the pen. In
the latter he sings to himself and
calls attention to the fact that he is
making a good living in a condition
often considered as that of a cripple.
What we should have stated first,
perhaps. is the fact that Mr.. Ryan
came to South Dakota in the bowling
days of '93, and during the winter of
1894 was working on a farm near
Aberdeen. He became lost during a
storm while he was hauling straw.
and had both arms frozen. Amputa-
lions took them off at just below
the elbow.
Finding 1t necessary to make a liv-
ing, he secuted around for some time
In search of an occupation which
would bring him some money. and
took up penmanship 1t proved good
for his purpose. and he has followed
ii since 1895.
In writing he holds the pen be
tween the ends of the stumps of his
arms. and writes with a body move
ment. His work is really good from
an ornamental standpoint. and he
gets all he can do. But from the
standpoint of optimism and overcom-
ing a great difficulty his success
bears a lesson that would be worth
any persons serious consideration.
