E | Underwood, mayor and pro-! prietor of ahotel and refresh- ment parlor at Solway, while the remainder are representative farmers of the district. Harry Bowers and John A.

The committee has sent a re- ply to General Manager Gemmell offering to pay $6 for each 33 foot car from any point north of Be- midji, §7 for 36 foot cars and $8 for any‘cars larger than these.
