Ellis Island Ready.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-The fed eral immigration authorities here are prepared to handle the 54 I. w. w. who are on their way to New York from the west to be deported by the government.
 The prisoners will be detained at Ellis Island until arrangements for sailings can be made. They will be divided according to nationalities and the deportation of the several groups will be effected at the earliest possi- ble moment, it was declared.

By Associated Press.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-A clean up to rid the country of aliens with criminal records or regarded as a menace to the nation is under way by federal officials.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1O-Fifty-four members of the I. w. w. passed through Chicago last night in a spe- cial train under heavy guard On the way to an Atlantic port, where, it is said, they will be deported at once by the immigration authorities.
 Forty of the prisoners came direct from Seattle, where they took part in fomenting the general strike, which has paralyzed the industries of that city for several days.
 Three leaders of the Seattle strike, one Spokane agitator, an I. w. w. leader from Denver, and five alien convicts arrested in Chicago were among the prisoners gathered into the federal net.
 The majority of the men were alien labor agitators picked up by officers of the United States imrni- grafton service during a year of se- cret campaigning in industrial cen ters of the Pacific coast. A. D. D. Jackson, chief of the Seattle office of the immigration service, was in charge of the party.

is taken up. The Northern States has
made application for a permanent
increase in rates, and it has petition
ed for a temporary increase pending
the completion of an investigation
which the public utilities commission
must make before it considers the
original application. An arbitrary
20 per cent increase in rates made
effective by the power company was
knocked out in United States district
court, where it was held that the
company's five-years contract with the
city Of Minot, which does not expire
until next May, was binding. Now
the company contends that without
% percent increase it will suffer
a heavy financial loss during the next
months and that even, with such in
crease it can pay but two per cent
interest on its actual valuation.

Bad Enough to Take Shots at
Mayor and Commissioner, But
Must Leave Globes Alone

1t is bad enough when young MIN
rods Of Bismarck take;pO shots at the
mayor and the city commissioners, but
when they start breaking the city's 81
globes OH its electric : lights in the
downtown section, the city commission
feels that it is time to put a stop to
the practise before the youngsters start
towing French 75s through the street
and do more serious. and costly damage.
At their meeting last night, john
Larson, the jovial city commissioner,
wanted to know if something could not
be done to stop the practise of using
the frosted globes for targets. Com
missioner Larson did not know what Il
hornets nest he was stirring up when
he made that simple request.
Mayor A. w. lucas Immediately
sided with Larson on the matter and
AIDED: "The other day some young hull-
ter, thinking he was stalking buffalos
on the North Dakota prairies took a
shot at me with an air rife and l have
been limping ever since"
And then Commissioner John French
seconded, or thirded, the motion, ad-
ding: "Why it is getting so bad that
a man can not be$safe even in his Of
