pointed out last night by K. w.

Although the teaching force will
be grateful FOR even slight relief"
said Mr.. Strawbridge, lit realizes that
the proposed rate of salary increase
is inadequate to meet the increased
cost of living. and falls far short of
the 80 per cent asked. The teachers
feel that the 80 per cent is not ex-

SAYS R.R TROUBLE.
AWAITS MERGER
Mr.. BrownIow Explains I
City Club Recent Raise :
in Fare Rate.

Solution of the present railway
problem is impossible until by some
means the merger of the two COM
panies is brought about, according TO
Commissioner Louis Brownlow, speak
ing at the City Club luncheon forum
today. He said the greatest reason
for trouble in the street railway sys-
TENS in Washington was. caused by
the fact that there are two companies
Mr.. Brownlow explained the reason
that the Public Utilities Commission
could not increase the fares of one
company and not the other He said
that one company had a trackage of
seventy miles, the other 140. but that
both companies carried the same
number of passengers. He said that
II the increased fare was given to one
company. the people of the city would
desert that line. the company would
reduce the number OF cars operated.
would lay off employees and lose
money eventually, while the other
company would be overcrowded.
thereby being unable to give the
Proper service to the people. He said
that the 18th street line of the Capt.
al Traction Company carried more
people han any other line in the
United States.
Foresees CongestIon.
Imagine the 14th street line in
its present crowded condition being
flooded with passengers who would
ordinarily use the Washington Rail
way and Electric line" said Commits
sioner Brownlow.
MFR. Rrowniow said that. in the opin-
ion Of the board of Commissioners,
the zone fare system would have
given some relief to the Washington
Railway and Electric Company. but
after hearing from practically every
trade body and civic organization in
hn a nj pu1
the system. the plan was given up
The speaker said the scent fare
would in reality mean only 7h-
cent fare to the majority Of
people of the District He said
that il the people here want the serv-
ice they must pay for it. He gave
list of the increases in cost which the
companies had to deal with. He said
that the trainmen were receiving
more pay by 100 per cent than before
the war. Cost of materials had in
creased. said Commissioner Brownlow.
cost in coal was reckoned at about
$4,000.
Yields Only 4 Per Cent.
Commissioner Brownlow said that
even with the increase to the Scent
fare the W.. r. & E. Company will
receive only a little more than per
cent on the fair valuation OF its
property. He said that a s per cent
return on the investment. had been
considered fair return.
Mr.. Brownlow gave a brief account
of the functions of the Public Util-
tiles Commission. He said it con-
sidered first of all service to the peo-
pie, and second a fair and equitable
rate of fare.
Mr.. Brownlow also touched briefly
on the water situation in the Dis
trict. He said the people pay too
little attention to this matter and
each summer suffer a shortage in con-
sequence.

BAD ACCIDENT
MAY PROVE FATAL

Plant Badly Burned-One
Arm Amputated

O. B. Jacobson who has been in the
for almost a year was the victim Of a
painful accident last Saturday and up
to the present time the length of his
life is very doubtful.
Gets 1880 Volts
The accident happened along about
4 o'clock in the afternoon when Mr.. ia
cobson was repairing electric wires in
the alley at the rear of Johns Bros.
Hardware. He was fastened to the pole
with a strap and in some way placed
one arm over wire carrying 220 volts.
He took hold of the other wire carrying
1900 volts with plier in his hand At
this great shock he lost consciousness.
This was noticed by the boy who was
working with him who Immediately call
ed the power plant and ordered the cur
rent disconnected. This was a seeming
ly short time and yet it gave these wires
time to burn thru the flesh and muscles
of both arms, stopping the circulation
of blood and had started to injure the
bone.
The victim was taken to the hospital
after considerable difficulty in getting
down from the pole and he is now in
such condition that it is doubtful wheth-
er he will live. Up to the present time
one arm has been taken off and it is thot
that the other will have to be but the
physicians are waiting to see if his
condition mproves.-Meeker County

Stroke

O. B. Olson, respected citizen of
this city and we'll known in this coun-

everlasting reward on July 18th at his
home on Nelson Ave. after being con
fined to his bed for nine days, result
ant from fatal affliction of a stroke,
one of the three which he has suffer-

a man highly respected in this com
munity and the sad news of his depar-
ture has cast pale of regret over his
many friends both in this county and
in his former residential location at
Driscoll, N D.
The late O. B. Olson was born on
March %, 1849. at Holmestrand, Nor.

the homeland until he left his native
land in 1865 arriving as an immigrant

found his way to Kandiyohi County
settling in Dovre township. In 1900
