COAL TO BE PLENTY.

RAILWAYS WORK TO PREVENT FUEL FAMINE. Two Million Tona Are at Head of Lakes to Supply Tributary Territory—Records of Shipments Are Broken. *> < There will be no coal famine in the Northwest next winter if the roads entering Superior, Wis., are able to handle the business, and it is believed that they will be. Coal receipts up to the present time have broken all records, and there is actually on the docks abput 2,000,000 tons. Meanwhile shipments are good for summer and the prospects are that before the close of navigation more coal will be sold from Superior and Duluth docks than ever before during the same season. For the fbree months previous to Aug. 1, this year, the Superior and Duluth docks ■hipped into the Northwest more coal than ever before in that tame period and nearly double .the amount sent out in the ■ame three months of 1906. This year from May 1 to Aug. 1 a total of 48,944 cars have been shipped, as against 28,549 in that period a year •gQ-, 1 - The roads are rushing in new trackage and yard facilities, and the Great Northern will •oon have in operation its big new freight transfer shed in Superior, which, it is calculated, will relieve that road of the congestion of general freight experienced last fall. •

FROM THE FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH

Facing fines aggregating over iSTQO,COO,OOO from various state and federal indictments in addition to the rec-ord-breaking Obe of $29,24<>,00(5?" imposed by Judge Landis of the United States District Court at Chicago for Alton rebates, and with the possibility’ of prison sentences for its many millionaire officials, the oil trust defiantly prepares to coutitfue the light through a bill of errors, while its rejuvenated founder' and master, John D. Rockefeller, tells the public that he is "harnessed to the cart in which the people ride" and that these attacks on capital must injure all. At the same time Attorney General Bonaparte frankly dec la res the desire of the Department of Justice to see the heads of criminal Trusts behind the bars and the attorney generals of twelve states get togetlief to plan a joint antitrust campaign. It is Inferred that Harriman must stand trial for tAe Alton’s share in the rebate business, and other equally well-known financiers of the railroad and industrial monoi>olies are believed to be "on the list." On top of all this comes lhe broadside of the administration in the form of a second report by Commissioner Corporations Smith, showing that' the oil trust has not tended to decrease the. relative. Price of its products, and that its known total earnings since 1882 —aggregate-$790.<W,000. —1t asserts that the monofioly is maintained by tlie various crooked- methods popularly

ALCOHOL POWER AGE.

Thousand* of Farmer* Soon Will Be Operating The farmers of the United States are taking great interest in the manufacture of denatured alcohol, made possible to them by the action of the last Congress, which removed the disabilities of small producers. Thousands of inquiries are coming to the government from farmers in every section as to the new law and regulations. These are’ being answered as fast as they come in, and not only this but every farmer who writes is supplied with a process for making the alcohol and placing it on the market for 4 cents a gallon, including a profit of nearly 2 cents. The uses to which denatured alcohol may be put are many. It may be used for power wherever gasoline is now being used, and it is that its cheapness will force gasoline off the market as soon as the farmers begin to put their product into circulation. It may be used for running cars that are now being operated by electricity. Engines specially constructed for its use are being made by several firms, and these may be* applied to any kind of machinery from farm implements to steamboats. Heretofore denatured alcohol has beed kept off ■Xlifi marks! by a prnyisiaii.in the United States revenue act which —requiren mr presence of a United States officer wherever it is manufactured, and the manufacturer was compelled to pay a revenue sufficient to meet the officer’s salary. This provision necessarily operated in favor of the big manufacturer, and kept farmers out of the business entirely. Congressrepealed the provision requiring the presence of a United States official nt the plants, putting each and every small manufacturer on his honor to make proper returns to the government, including a small tax. By doing this the government has dealt a hard blow to tbft distillery monopoly and the ‘gasoline interests and opens the way to the alcohol age as a power agency. FARMERS TO TRADE WIVES. Doable Wedding Follow* Two South Dakota Divorce*. Abraham N. Eudler and Edward I). Winspeer, two former Sweetwater, Neb., county farmers, have contrived in a lawful way to trade wives. According to advices received from Vermilion they recently applied for and obtained decrees of divorce and a few days ago, at a double wedding celebrated in Arizona, each Hook as a wife the woman the other had divorced. The two men and their wives had been friends and intimates for years. With no ill feeling on the part of any of them, they agreed that it would be best for the two men to trade wives and the husbands went to South Dakota and procured divorces, the wives permitting the divorces to be obtained without contest. The couples have gone to. western Canada together to make their homes. Wire Strike Spread*. Monday the telegraph operators in New York, Washington. Philadelphia, Pittsburg. Buffalo.

TZI-HSU IS TO QUIT.

DOWAGER EMPRESS OF CHINA WILL ABDICATE. Calls Grand Council Meeting, at Which She Will Tranater Empire to Grandson—Miaaourl Woman Prevents Railroad Wreck. The Empress Dowager of China, according to dispatches from Shanghai, will hand over the throne to her grandson at the next Chinese new year. She has secretly -called a meeting of the Grand Council to put the change into effect by declaring that the hominal Emperor of the land shall in the future be the real ruler. The Dowager Empress, who is now 72 years old, has been supreme in Chinese affairs for many years. Her career is a remarkable one. The daughter of a Maneboo, sold in infancy by a father who ran into financial difficulties, she became, at an early age, one of the secondary wives of the Emperor Hien-Fung. She won his admiration and affection and bare him a Th is .son she placed on tne tnrono, uxrt 'IiTS - Career poison, it has been thought, causing his death. As there was no other heir to the throne the infant son of Prince Chung, the sob in question, becajne Emperor under the name of Kwang-Su and under the regency of Tzi-Hsu, the Dowager Empress. In 1889 the “Emperor" nominally assumed full control of the government, but nin£- years later, when he issued" some reform decree, the regency of the Dowager Empress was restored and she has since vigorously kept him in the background. WOMAN AVERTS TRAIN WRECK. Waves lantern and Stops Santa Fe Limited Doomed to Destruction. A trainload of passengers on the California limited of the Santa Fe road was saved from death at Hart.

NEW FARM LANDS.

Over 160,000 Acre* in Wyoming Thrown Open for Settlement. More than 150,000 acres of valuable land in the Eden valley, Sweetwater and' Fremont counties, in Wyoming, has just been thrown open, under the Carey act. Thirty thousand acres are now available for public entry. It is one of the finest bodies of irrigable lands in the State. The land is irrigated from the public domain . under the Carey act. Any person 21 years old or over is entitled to a claim of 160 acres, or any legal subdivision thereof, provided such nerson has never previously made use of the Carey act. The land is a rich sandy loam, free froih alkali and stones, and will produce abundant crops of grains, grasses, fruits and vegetables. Water for irrigating is obtained from the Big and Little Sandy rivers and their tributaries, which head in the great watershed of the Wind river range of mountains and drain an area of thousands of square The water is distributed by an extensive system of canals and ditches. Elasticity to the supply is obtained by two immense reservoirs which impound billions of cubic feet of water. The fee to the State which accompanies application for each claim is 25 cents per acre, and an additional 25 cents per ea, . within three years. The cost of the irrigating system is charged against the land at the rate of S3O per acre, payable in ten annual installments. All of the irrigating works become the property of the people who own the land, each acre representing one share. GRAFT BANANA ON CACTUS. Nevada Capitalist* Form Syndicate to Carry Out Big Scheme. Report is current that a number of Goldfield, Nev., capitalists and promoters have organized a wealthy syndicate for the purpose of establishing the banana industry in the country surrounding the great gold camp. The idea of the new company is to use the Joshua trees, a species of cactus which abound in that vicinity, for the production of the fruit. The agricultural and horticultural experts of the United States government, as well as those connected with the leading universities and agricultural colleges of the country, have been conducting experiments in grafting and the budding of tree? for several years with this in mind. This science has so far progressed now that the bananas can be grafted upon the Joshua trees. DON’T USE POKER IN THIS Woman Trie* to Tarn Electric Switch and I* Nearly Killed. Pokers have their uses, but Mrs. Henry L. Rowland of the Bel island summer colony near South Norwalk, Conn, has discovered that shutting an electric switch is not on the list. Mr. Rowland is super-intendenM-Vf the island, and in his absence Mrs. Rowland attempted to light the public lights. Being a short woman, she used a poker to reach the jack knife switch. There was a flash, the end of the poker was reduced to ashes, and Mrs. Rowland landed in the opposite corner of the room. She was found unconscious by the residents, who rushed in when they saw the flash. Mrs. Rowland will recover, but electricians say her escape was a marvelous one. Bayanet lri*h Mob io Riat.

SPREAD OF STRIKE.

ORDER FOR GENERAL WALK-OUT PROMULGATED. Cull to “Quit’’ Includes All Commercial Telegrapher, fn United State, and Canada Order, However, Add* Few Hecruit. to Striker.. The general strike order to all commercial telegraphers not working under union agreements, which was issued by Sylvester J. Small of the Commercial Telegraphers’ Union of America at 1:30 o’clock Friday morning, had produced almost no change in the situation Saturday afternoon, twen-ty-four hours after it had been promulgated. In fact the general order, heralded in advance as the crowning feature of the strike, hardly created a ripple in Chicago, according to a correspondent. The force of the Chicago and Milwaukee Telegraph Company, which operates for public business between’ the Chicago Board of Trade and the Milwaukee grain exchange, six men all told, went out and five men employed on leased wires by-Hulburd, Warren & Chandler, a brokerage house, also left their keys. The situation in the stockyards and along the LaSallestreet district otherwise was undisturbed, and there were no new developments In the strife between the union and the two big companies, the Western Union and the Postal. < All the reports which came in to Chicago over the wires of the Associated Press and through other sources outside of the union were to the effect that there had been no change in the situation. Nevertheless union members were unanimous in declaring that the country would feel the effect of Small’s order. • Advices from New York and Boston said the order for a general strike had met with no response from the men at work in either the Western Union or the Postal offices or those in the Associated Press. The officials of the two big companies said they had failed to discover that the strike order had had any effect on-the situation. The extension of communication to the more remote and smaller towns was proceeding rapidly and business was being moved expeditiously. It is estimated that nearly 15,0041 men are on strike. The strike, it is said, will ibe confined strictly to the commercial telegraphers. The railroad operators will lend their moral aud financial support. There will be no sympathetic strike of railroad teleg■JVQhers, vyho are working under contract aficT will live up to tlietr' agreements. Cauae of the Big Strike. Higher wages, an eight-hour day, more comfortable working conditions and the free use of typewriters—-these “are the essential demands of the striking telegraphers. Ever since the union was formed, March 15, 1903, these have been its principal aims, and in both the matter of wages and working conditions substantial progress has been made. Much remains to be accomplished, however, in the way of securing further concessions from both the Western Union and Postal companies, the strikers declare, before they will be satisfied. In a letter addressed to . President Clnwr*. of the jypstern Ilnion company last May, President S. J. Small of the unioii demanded for the operators: That the standard of wages be fixed and - that the increase of 10 per cent granted to some of the operators last March be given to all. That clerks and other employes be remunerated more liberally. That eight hours constitute a dgvtlme "trick.” That seven hours constitute a split day and night “trick.” Thar given hTillfs constitute a day for extra work. That no “trick” shall be divided Into more than two parts. That no telegrapher be compelled to work more than four and one-half hours without beipg allowed thirty minutes for lunch. That a reasonable time for extra reliefs be allowed. That the companies furnish typewriting machines to telegraphers In the operating departments. That all sliding scales, so-called, be abolished. While the strike in Chicago was directly due to the refusal of the union operators there to work wires with nonunion telegraphers employed by the Western Union company in Los Angeles, the basic and chief contributing element was the unrest caused by the above grievances. With the strike in full force the telegraphers are now clamoring for an additional increase of 15 per Cent in pay. Data furnished by International Secretary Wesley Russell of the union shows the following conditions among commercial telegraphers throughout the country : Number of operators 27,000 Number of local unions 135 Numerical strength 20,000 Average pay SSO a month Maximum pay SBB a month Minimum pay $25 a month Day "trick 1 ’ In main offices. ;... Nine hours Workday in branch offices.. Nine to 12 hours Split ‘•tricks”.... Seven and one-half hours Night "tricks’*... .Seven and one-half hours Workday for extra men Eight hours Day for overtime work. Seven hours Conditions obtaining in 'the Postal company’s offices are. to a large extent, similar to those in the Western Union offices.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

Chicago. Despite the telegraphers' strike and tihe acute effect of this and other adverse factors, trade conditions reflect no recession in activity and volume of demands in leading lines. There is, however, as expected, more caution in approaching new undertakings of magnitude. It is excellent testimony to the healthy basis of commerce in this section that ■tirF' returns make a gratifying exhibit in payments through the banks, in freight movements, mercantile defaults and factory production, all these comparing favorably with high records a year ago. The banka successfully maintain ample reserves, but there is more urgent discount offering and crop moving needs involve heavy shipments of currency to the interior. Pressure upon available funds causes : no discrimination against responsible customers seeking accommodation, yet close scanning of credits is in order, particularly with reference to commitments for the future. Notwithstanding a heavier tone pervades some quarters, current •transactions sustain good feeling in the leading industries and wholesale branches. Distribution of finished materials and raw supplies is maintained at the highest . aggregate, and jobbers’ shipments show substantial advance. Earnings of Chicago railroads surpass all former gaihs, and lake traffic is enormously extended in ore, coal and lumber. Crude materials have not changed in costs, aside from another decline in copper. Crop reports again- agree as to fine progress in corn and spring wheat growth, and the improving outlook spreads throughout agricultural sections, where heavy outlays are made for farm additions and tools. This encouraging feature imparts more confidence to the buying of staple merchandise, Country buyers in unusually large numbers now make their selections here, and the bookings for early delivery run into large totals in the textiles, clothing, boots and shoes, furniture and food products. Total movement of grain at this port, 6,617,163 bushels, compares with 5,951,568 bushels last week and 8,468,508 bushels a year ago. Bank clearings, $224,174,169, exceed those of the corresponding week last year by 11.8 per cent. Failures reported in the Chicago district numbered 22, against . 26 last week and 28 a year ago.—Dun’s Review of Trade. i ‘ s NEW YORK. Growing crops show further good progress towardXiarvest, and fall tpade tends to expand at leading western and eastern jobbing centers. Cross currents are visiblt in different industries. Thus while finished cotton fabrics are in demand and some makes, notably bleached goods, have been further advanced, there are re-iTOrt-a smaller demand, and lower prices for cotton yarns. In woolen gddds, while high-grade worsted and fine woolen fabrics have sold well, other grades are slower of sale, and there is talk of accumulation. In the leather trade there is more life than of late, and good quality leather and hides are on better sale, as are also high-class shoes. Low grades are slower, of sale, and eastern shipments, so far, are 4 per cent behind 1906. In iron and steel the lack of new buying is still notable and prices tend to ease, •as the mills and furnaces find deliveries easier to make. Business failures for the week ending Aug. 15 number 146, against last week, 143 in the like week of 1906, 147 in 1905, 203 in 1904 sad 166 in 1903. In Canada failures for the week number ■3O, ns agp Inst 1R last week snd 22 in this week a year ago.—Bradstreet's Commercial Report.
