The Roseau Times says it is hard- 1y fair for people who were not pres- ent at the Brainerd meeting to com- plain and charge that the 400 dele- gates representing 32 counties, men .of prominence, earnest men, who paid their own expenses and were in- terested in the developement of the northern part of the state and of the whole state, were assembled as a pol- itical gathering. Every delegate was there to initiate and demand legisla- tion as the first essential step toward the developement and settlement of Northern Minnesota. Brainerd Tribune is Slapped on the Wrist. The Brainerd Tribune has insulted Northern Minnesota by ome of the rankest assertions that could possibly come from any decent source. The Tribune knows very little about what will retard immigration and pros- perity to this country if it really be- lieves what it prints. The assertion that the advertising which North- ern Minnesota has been getting by the actions of “Pussy Foot” Johnson will do more to retard immigration to Minnesota than the good work of such metings as were held in Brain- erd “Dec. 1st and 2nd.” can overcome in the next twenty years.” Evi- dently the Tribune does mot think that the Northern Minnesota Devel- opment Association will accomplish anything. As for the undesirable advertisements we have seen no bad results and we' believe that the Tri- bune wil learn “if it is alert” that no such calamaty will come over this country as it predicts.—Pequot En- terprise.

Minneapolis, Jan. 7.—This city was plunged into darkness and its com- mercial life almost paralyzed by an explosion of the “13,000 wire” leading into the power plant of the Minneap- olis General Electric company. Eleven men employed in the building made their way to safety by groping their way through the valley of the mill race after the explosion. The plant ‘was wrecked and a tangled mass of wire, machinery and lumber was thrown in every direction by the force of the explosion. Fire followed and completed the demolition of the build- ing. Three men were injured and the damage to the property is estimated at $500,000. Three separate explo- sions, accompanied by ear splitting cracks and vivid display of the blue electric flame, occurred. The cables conducting 13,000 volts of electric energy broke and sent their power in- to the vortex, adding to the terrific force which caused the destruction. There is nothing left of the power plant beyong the charred wreckage level with the water in the river. A short circuit in a cable, either caused by displacement of some metal conductor, a weak spot in the ‘insula- tion, or the sudden burning out of a fuse is thought to have caused the ex- plosion. | Electricity Ignites Coal Gas. Blistering, blinding arcs of electric- ity, powerful enough to bore through inches of solid steel, rent the air, ig- niting coal gas in the boiler room and communicating with twenty dynamos on the top floor. Cables snapped and writhed, wheels ground and whizzed, the lights were all extinguished and, for the minute, the building stood out- lined by a ghastly blue light, with darkness s a background. That was| followed by an upheaval beginning in the basement. A twenty-foot strip of roof at the front end of the building rose upward, followed by tangled masses of wire and machinery. Eleven men who had just started to work on the three different. floors made their escape in the darkness through the valley paralleling the mill race. That none of them met death in the attempt to escape is considered & miracle. The possibility of escape is ascribed to the sudden rush of air which drove everything outward. The burning of the plant put five sub-stations out of commission and affected the West Side of the city. Lights in that section were all out and factories’ power shut off.

Among the most seriously hit by the shutting off of power were the newspapers, who are praetically de- pendent on electric' power to run their plants. Eager cries for news shortly after the fire could not be ‘answered until the Journal shoved-into-use ‘a hand press of pioneer days. On this & one-page extra was issned. At 12:20, however, the two larger papers of the city received power from a neighbor- ing plant. The shutoff of the lights was not the only serious result of the power ‘house fire. Factories, “manufacturing concerns, printing houses, hundreds of business consumers of electricity suspended temporarily. Operations on the grain exchange were hampered by the inactivity of the tickers and tele- graph service was affected. The East Side station is valued on the books of the Minneapolis General Electric company at $720,000" and is insured for $573,000. The boiler house, big smokestack and one stand of transformers are believed to be in condition for repair or reconstruction, but the plant proper is practically a total loss. Four Firemen Fatally Hurt. New York, Jan. 7.—Caught in a back draft during a fire which swept a five- story building ‘here, causing an esti- mated damage of $100,000, four fire- men were seriously and probably fa- tally burned.

It is absolutely certain that the ma- chinery of the solar systew is running down. The earth, with 1ts‘mass of three thousand trilllon tons, moving through space a thoasand times faster than the express train goes, is being retarded by taw friction of the atmos- phere and tides to the extent that it loses about an ‘hour in 16,000 years, a very slow process, it would seem, but one that will inevitably bring 'the earth o a standstill ultimately. And what is true of the earth is true of all the worlds and suns. Sir Isnac New- ton maintained that the motions of all bodies in.space suffer retardation and that their velocity is steadily becom- ing less and will finally cease. ‘Solar systems, like everything else, have their time to be born and their time to die.—New York American.
