Reduction of railroad rates put

granting increased revenue to car

Having demonstrated the power
of the American farmers to help
shape: national policies, by fighting
the increase asked by the railroads
and obtaining from the commission
a reduction of $1,700,O00,OO0 in the
valuation set by the roads them
selves, the federation has begun the
assembling of data to be presented
with it's request for lower rates, J..
R: Howard, president of the national
federation, announced i'm a commun-
ication received by the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation. Repeal of
certain provisions of the Cummins-
Esch bill will be asked.
The federation's representatives,
appearing practically as the sole
spokesmen for agriculture in the
rate increase hearings forced con-
cessions and actually saved Ameri-
can shippers and consumers $780,
100000 a year, Mr.. Howard says.
"The farmers share of that saving
alone would run the American Farm
Bureau Federation for 200 years" :"
he says.

RekIndIing Of Thirty-Fiy,,e i, Year
W|Iage-Farmer Dispute Seen
in Wake of Wreck. i:
POSSES RUSH TO SCENE:
Several Hundred Pounds Of Dynamite
Believed Used on Wreeking Con-
crete ConstructIon-$2,000
Reward Offered.

st. Cloud, Minn.-The Cold Spring
power dam, about twenty miles from
here, was blown up, two turbines de-
stroyed and the village of Cold Spring
cut off from electrical energy when a
violent explosion of suspicious origin
tore out twenty-foot section Of the
dam at a. m. Sunday.
Several residents are reported to
have been hurled from their beds, by
the force Of the blast, which is said
to have reached the proportions OF an
earthquake in the vicinity.
Hastily organized posses of heavily
armed men rushed to the scene Of the
explosion, and determined after a
cursory investigation that probably
several hundred pounds of dynamite
had been used in wrecking the con-
crete construction.
No clue has been unearthed and a
reward of $4,000 has been offered for
the capture and conviction Of those
responsible for the explosion.
The dam has been the center of a
legal battle for thirty-fve years among
farmers who have endeavored to re-
claim approximately 1000 acres of
land, now inundated by backwater, and
authorities are attempting to link the
blast with some angle of this feud.
In Courts for Years. 80
Since the dam was built in 1885 it
has been almost continuously In the
courts, and about twenty years ago.;
farmers living north Of the power site,
petitioned the Stearns county district
court to have the dam removed, on
the ground that they were entitled. to-
the land flooded by the dam. The petit
tion was denied by the district court
and the decision was sustained by the
supreme court, which contended that
the village of Cold Springs was en-
titled to the dam.
A few years ago mill located at
the dam was destroyed by fire and it
was generally believed that incen-
diaries were responsible for the fire,
although no one ever was seized in
connection with the affair.
Ditch Project Rejected.
After the destruction Of the mill
property the board Of county COM
missioners Of Stearns county granted
the farmers interested in the removal
of the dam the right to lay a ditch
along the creek which runs into the
dam as means of draining the land
they wished to reclaim.
The Stearns county district court
again held in favor OF the village and
enjoined the county commissioners
from giving approval to the ditch pro-
ject.
Temporary electrical service will be
supplied in Cold Springs through
emergency connections with power
houses in St. Cloud. It is believed that
more than a month will be required to
repair the damage caused to the dam
and power house by the explosion.

Allied Powers Reach Agreement
on System of Indemnities
From Germany.
PAYMENTS RUN AZ YRS.
nuities on a Sliding Scale From
2,ooo,ooo,0oo to 6,ooo,ooo,ooo
Gold Marks.

Paris-Solution of the problem OF
German reparations was reached ten.
tatively by the committee Of experts
appointed by the Allied supreme coun.
ell. Confidence was expressed that
the council would approve the solu-
tion.
The proposed scheme provides for
the payment Of annuities on a sliding
scale of from 2,000,00O,O00 to 6,000,-
100000 gold marks over a period OF
probably forty-two years and also a
12h per cent ad valorem tax on Ger
man exports, so that her creditors
will be paid according to Germany's s
increasing prosperity.
The sudden ironing out of differ
ences came after two days of a con-
tinually widening breach that threat
ened to break up the conference, it
being virtually suspended except for
private conference Official French
circles give the Belgian delegation
credit for the success in reconciling
the British and French viewpoints.
Germans to be invited.
The project in it's final form, when
approved by the council, will be sub.
mitted to Germany for acceptance as
an agreement outside of Article 233 of
the peace treaty which entrusts the
reparations commission with the task
OF liking the amount of the indemnity
Then another conference will be called
to which the Germans will be invited
The committee of experts was in
session at midnight considering the
question of shortening the period of
the payments to thirty. years, for
which the treaty of Versailles spe-
cifically provided. But it is expected
that the period of forty-two years
finally will be adopted, as the longer
period OF payments will make the
task easier for Germany.
BRAND Meets Lloyd George.
Conferences between small groups
OF the delegates continued in an effort
to clear up the tangle in the situation
had arisen. NJ BRAND, the
French premier, after leaving the
British premier, Lloyd George, con-
suited with his colleagues of the cab
met and later returned for another
talk with Lloyd George.
Meantime, Lloyd George had re-
ceived the British and Belgian REPRE-
sentatives on the special reparations
committee and after some discussion.
these representatives returned to the
session of the committee. After the
consultation with Lloyd George the
members of the committee seemed
more hopeful. Much of the discussion
bore upon an ad valorem tax of from
10 to Is per cent that it had been pro-
posed Germany should place on ex-
norts.

TELEPHONE COMPANY

An informal meeting was held Sun
day by a number of business men

munities, for the purpose Of calling
a mass meeting to organize CO.

was set for Saturday, February IL.

vides that the railroads may adjust
rates to obtain 51a per cent for
equipment.
While this bill was up to congress,
on behalf of the farmers I bitterly
opposed these provisions, Mr.. How
ard said. However, the matter was
compromised. The guarantee pro-
vision was passed at 5h per cent
for two years, when it expires by
statute. The limitation was disap-
pointing to the railroads and really
victory for the farmers. The one
half per cent for equipment, how

Hoboken, N. J.-Eleven persons
were burned to death in fire which
destroyed the Hotel Colonial here.
Four others were badly burned and
taken to a hospital, where it was re-

A stream Of persons was at the

of the victims. They met with only
partial success, however, although po-
lice said jewelry and other articles on
the charred bodies would probably lead
to discovery of relatives Of all those
