With Increased
Freights

Devils Lake homes and business in
stitutions will not suffer for lack Of
coal, at least early in the winter
if householders and others will buy
their coal now. An investigation con-
Quoted by The World disclosed the
fact that coal to fill all orders placed
is available for immediate delivery
here-eastern and western soft coal,
hard coal, Ignite, briquettes and any
other grade demanded are in stock in
local yards.
Two concerns interviewed, are car

pany, the Farmers Mill & Elevator
company declared the only difficulty It
was meeting with was slowccss of
the public to avail itself of the pres
ent opportunity to purchase coal
with no assurances of what the future
holds in the coal market.
Conditions of the local market as
found here follow:

clared: Call our bins are full, we
have all kinds of coal, nut and stove
sizes in hard coal, eastern and west

Asked his opinion on the general coal
situation, Mr.. Breakey said: ~ can't
understand why the public is not buy

know what the future may hold. Now

This announcement was made by
Thomas Berge, local contractor in
charge Of the work.
"The Winnipeg people promised US
ten carloads of cement last week" +"
said Mr.. Berge, "but they have not
done so. It is impossible for US to
resume the cement work until we get
ten or more carloads in the city. We
are not anxious to reorganize and put
the necessary men back at work only
to lay them oq again in few days
because of lack of cement"
1t is expected that several addition

Interview While In
Devils Lake
DISCUSSES RATES

The great wheat belt of the north
west, and particularly of North Da-
kota which lies tributary to the Great
Northern railway, will not suffer for
lack of cars to transport its crops to
market this fall, and in all probability
there will be no severe crisis in this
section caused by the coal shortage,
now a topic of vast interest-if the
mining district of the central and
eastern states will produce necessary
quantities for delivery to Duluth and
other points at the head of the Great
Lakes for distribution westward.
These opinions were expressed here
Thursday in an interview with rep
resentative of The Wrold by President
Ralph Budd of the Great Northern
railroad system.
Box Car Situation Better
President Budd said: 1--WE are rap
idly getting the box car situation we'll
in hand and it looks very much in
deed as if there will be little trouble
in handling the big crop movement of
North Dakota and other western
states this fall. Our difficulty has been
to get our own cars-cars built and
maintained for grain transportation
back into our own territory. So
many of our cars are in other states,
where they serve for general COM
modities and where grain is a small
item in freight movements, that we
are badly handicapped. Cars from
other districts are here, to be sure,
but they are not adapted for grain
forwarding. However, we are exert
ing every effort possible to handle the
situation, and local conditions over
the line indicate large measure of
success is being met with. do not
believe North Dakota will have much
trobule this year to move it's CROP"
Will Handle Coal
Asked as to what the coal situation
was likely to present, President Budd
said the supply would be dependent
on movements to the head of the
Great Lakes. "Big ore boats are
moving the supply at a rapid rate now
and if this continues, as it will in al
probability, the northwest should no
suffer this winter. There is yet time
to meet the situation. Big ore ship
ping companies are returning theil
boats from the steel and iron manu-
featuring cities loaded with fuel. w,
were in Duluth Monday and five biz
boats were unloading then, with mor'
reported enroute. If the coal is pu
at the head of the lakes we will ge
it moved westward"
Rates Had To Go Up
President Budd also commented OF
freight and passenger rate increases
declaring lit had to GOMEZ if th'
roads were to continue. "Wages, sup
plies, and everything going into rail
reading have gone up, and something
had to be done to meet the situation

Dairymen in Ramsey county, and
particularly in the vicinity Of Devils
Lake, are receiving higher price for
sweet milk delivered at the creamery
here, than producers Of milk supply
ing the city of Chicago. The R. E.
Cobb company quotes $3.50 per hum
dred pounds of milk, compared to
1910 Illinois dairymen are receiving
for their product which is shipped to
the Chicago market. These facts de-
veloped following press dispatch as
follows:
"Chicago milk dealers have signed
an agreement with the Milk Producers
Cooperative association to pay $3.50
per hundred pounds for milk during
the next three months, an increase Of
so cents per hundred pounds over the
present price.
ut was officially announced that this
would mean an increase Of 1 cent q
quart in the retail price of milk"
N. O. Hefte, manager of The r. E.
Cobb company's big plant here which
handles sweet milk as we'll as deal
ing in cream, eggs and other produce,
made the statement that prices to be
paid in Chicago to producers, was 81
cents under what the company here is
now paying.
Talking along dairy lines, Mr.. Hef-
te pointed out the unquestione! pro-
fits to be derived from dairying in

The facilities now used by you were paid so9
by money furnished by strangers. They know
what they are earning in Louisiana while
serving you Just as you know.
Can you ask or expect them to furnish more
money for your use In Louisiana under pres
emit conditions?
II the people Of Louisiana will not supply
the money needed to serve themselves they
must induce strangers to furnish it.
This can be done BY allowing the stranger 10
earn fair and just profit upon his money
now invested In Louisiana, serving you, and
UPON all additional money required 10 furnish
you service.
This can be done in but one way: by paying
fair and just rates.
When the Company is legally authorized to
charge rate which will yield fair and Just
profit over and above the cost of furnishing
you service In the state of Louisiana, 1t can
secure from strangers living in other states
the money needed to furnish service 10 the
state Of Louisiana
The Company must have this right before u
can get the money
The people Of Louisiana must act first.
TO have telephone service you must either
invest your own money in the Company's busi-
ness, or permit the Company to earn such
profit upon its present and future investment
as Will induce strangers to invest their money
In the state OF Louisiana to serve you.
