Street Features
NORTHERN PACIFIC.

Northern Pacific had closed last
night at 771s. The opening sales
this morning were $500 shares
from 745s to 747s. This showed
that the market, while it had been
canvassing the prospect OF idivi-
dend cut. was by no means prepar-
ed for it. However, the accompany
ing statement by the Northern Pa
cific chairman was reassuring. He
made it appear that the dividend
cut had been decided upon as a
conservative measure due to condi-
tons in agriculture, mining and the
lumber Industry, which are now
passing. AS soon as these indus
tries get back to anything like nor
NAL, the dividend will be restored,
he said.
MINOR RAILS STRONG.
AS yet none of the deals which
Wall street has been talking about
linking the so-called weaker roads
with the big systems has material
lied. But the attitude of the inter
state commerce commission favor
ing such combinations and prom
Using to look after the interests of
the weaker lines affords logical
matter for speculation to build
upon. Hence the favor shown in
the present market toward the
junior rails. Besides the Ann Ar
bor-Pere Marquette gossip, the
street is talking about a merger of
Minneapolis & st. Louis with Iowa
Central and of Wabash with Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western. The
Wabash stocks were notably strong
today.
MEXICAN OIL SITUATION.
The rather premature announce
ment regarding pool of the big
oil companies for development
work in Mexico has brought out
the fact that all of them are looking
to other districts for their future
oil production In this connection
it is said that Standard Oil of New
Jersey, which was one of the lead
ing companies in exploration work
south of the Rio Grande, will prob
ably show in its next report that
all of its plans have been abandon
ed and that write-offs accompany
ing this step will run well above
s10,000,000.

CRAWLING STARTS ON
MORRIS-HERMAN ROAD
Project Expected to be Completed Be-
tween The Two Cities By
February Is.

Eight hauling and one service truck
started work Monday morning haul
ing gravel for the graveling of the
Morris-Donne1ly road from a point
four miles northwest of Morris to the
pavement in the city. The work is
a part of that which, when completed
will leave a newly graveled road from
Norris to Herman with to exceptions
of couple of miles this side of Her.
man, which is already graveled.
Weather permitting it is expected
that the work will be completed by
February 18th, according to L. P.
Zimmerman, superintendent of main
tenance of the eight district, which
includes Big Stone, Traverse, Wilk;n,
southwest Ottertail, Grant, Stevens,
Pope, Douglas, Todd and northwest
ern Stearns counties. Mr.. thinner
man is in charge of the work with
headquarters here
Eight to 16 men are being employ
ed on the work here exclusive of the
truck drivers. The gravel for the
Morris end of the road is being taken
from the Morris pit. The gravel for
, the road to a distance of six or seven
miles out Of Donnelly is being secur-
ed at the Donnelly pits and the rest
of the gravel for the stretch between
here and Herman on the Herman end
will be taken from the Herman pit.
The work at DonneIly was started
on December 26 and the hauling
there is being done by teams. Thirty
teams and 35 men are employed there
carrying on the work Owing to the
long hauls the Herman and Morris
ends of the work is being done by
trucks, this being much more eco
nomical than to use teams for hauls
of the d. distances necessary.
One thousand yards of gravel is
being put on per mile. The trucks
average about 100 miles day under
favorable conditions or make approx.
mately 2,100 cubic yard miles pei
day. The work is being done under
the supervision of the district main,
tenance department and when com.
pleted will make a total of about $50
900 worth of work done in the vic:n.
ity of Morris by the maintenance de.
partment.

scattered, as has been the case to
some extent in the past.

tentative plans laid by the commits
sion and the new members of the

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS
DOING IMPORTANT WORK
Minnesota Vocational Schools Rank
ed as First in U. S. by Har-
ward Educator.

Eighty per cent of the boys gradu-
ated from the three agricultural
schools in the state of Minnesota are
actually on the land as farmers or
farm managers and taking leading
parts in the social and economic &C
tivities of their communities. P. E.
Miller, superintendent of the West
Central School Of Agriculture, told
prominent educators and promoters
of vocational training in talk be-
fore the National Society for Voca-
tional Training, which held three
day conference at Kansas City last
week. Mr.. Miller represented Mime
sofa vocational institutions at the
conference. In his talk before the
delegates he told of the work of Min
nesota vocational schools.
DIR. w. H. Hart of Harvard univer-
sity was one of the principal speakers
at the conference and during one OF
his talks stated that the secondary
AGRICULTURAL training given in Min
nesota schools of agriculture is the
most ideal system yet developed. He
further asserted that the agricultural
school at ST.. Paul for agricultural
training and the Dunwoody institute
at Minneapolis for industry training
are the two best institutions of thefl
kind in the United States.
Practically every trade union,
large number of industries and many
states with vocational training pro.
grams were represented at the con.
