POWER COMPANY
PAYS DIVIDEND
Better Business Conditions Reflects to
$4,000 Company Stockholders
Material Gain.

The directors of Minnesota Power
e Light company at meeting held in
Duluth Monday authorized the pay
ment on July 1 of the regular quar-
terly dividend on the company's pre-
ferred stock, as we'll as an extra divi-
dend of SOC share on the Sc and $50
preferred stock and 5Sc a share on
the 10 preferred stock.
The extra amount is being paid on
accumulated on the company's pre-
ferred stock between the summer of
1888 and the summer of 1885 when
only partial dividends were paid,
these having been cut to One-half in
1888 and increased to three-Quarters
of the full rate in the summer of
1884. Full dividend payments were
resumed on October 1, 1885. The total
amount of the dividends in arrears SO
accumulated on the preferred stock,
prior to the payment of this extra
amount, as shown by the company's
amounts to slightly in excess of $780,
900.
M. L. Hubbard, president of the Min
nesota Power & Light company, i'm re-
ferring to the action of the board of
directors in declaring this dividend,
stated that this had been made pos
sible by a gain in the company's bust
ness, which, in turn, reflected a gen.
eral business improvement in the ter
ritory served. A considerable per-
centage of the company's business is
derived from power supplied to the
iron ore mines which are being orer-
ated at much higher rate this year
than for a number of years past. The
payment of this dividend, Mr.. Hubbard
said, will be of considerable benefit
to the territory we serve as of it's
$4,000 total stockholders there are aD-
proximately 1900 who live here and
these own total of some 10000
shares of the company's preferred
stock. To these in this area alone
some $225.OOO will be paid as result
of the distribution of the dividend de-
clared Monday, and this in itself will
be helpful to business in this terri
tory"

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

During the latter part of this
month-the date is variously given
as June 26 and June 3O-an extra
general session of the League of Ma
tions will begin at Geneva for the
purpose of determining a final at
titude toward the Italian conquest of
Ethiopia; the ultimate object of the
meeting, which was proposed by the
Argentine republic, is to pave the
way for thOrough-going reform of
the entire League machinery so that
it may function properly and effec-
lively whenever an international
crisis arises.
The general meeting is to be pre-
ceded by a meeting of the League
council, probably some time next
week. Here the question of continu-
ing or removing the economic sane
lions still in force against Italy will
come up. So far, Great Britain and
France have declared themselves
willing to remove the sanctions, for
when they are voted out, Italy can
apply to British and French bankers
for loans with which to develop the
country now taken by force of arms
from its rightful owners. In other
words-aid for Italy is to be forth
coming from two of the countries
which denounced the Italian attack
on Ethiopia, and which at one time
even threatened serious reprisals
against Mussolini because of his
bloody African adventure. Of such
stuff is diplomatic and financial
morality made!
French Strike.
A few days ago a double crisis
enmeshed France. The first one, a
change of government, was, of course,
foreseen as the inevitable result of the
Popular Fronts victory at the polls
in May; it was the triumph of the
leftwingers, and the climax of it was
the retirement of Premier Albert Sar-
raut and his government, and the
induction into office of Leon Blum,
