Some Qneer Work Abont the Parchase of Coal, An Effort to Make a Contract With- out Advertising for Bids, The buildir the become one of unusual matter of heating school has public interest this fall, mainly because led to it by the injunction issucd to prevent the use of soft so much attention has been o coal in the Bloomer school of education has the to the they do not feel like going to the extra expense of chang The beard that while the chimney may be some building claimed soot from annoyance adjacent residents, yet ing the heating apparatus, which would | be considerable, nor of the extra expense for hard coal, Du the cold days of last week, the children were obliged to either stay at home or sit shiveringunder the frosty instruction of h'ml\\'riwm'l\n‘d in a]mv\ 15, and the auperintendent elad in h t. T]ll‘le is_another feature to the coal business which is decidedly interesting, and may prove still more so. The board | of education has placed itself rather in the role of martyre, hecause estopped from burningsoft coal, and have claimed sympathy at being compelled to let the children shiver and langer health and life. All thisa and yet itap. pears on the othor | tiat the t made 1o | ceuring u suy ply of fu winter, €0 that if there were no injuncti liere is 1 o of coal, and 1o provision made for secuting asupply, so that in case of more cold weather there is 10thing to keep the fur- naces and stoves going, except as it is bought by little jags, and at such prices the coal men may choose to decide. There is no law, save that of common prudence and custom, that dictates the advertising for bids and the public award- ing of a contract. This has usually heen done before the 1st of September, but here it is nearly the 1st of Cctober and no such action has been taken, so that the board is left at the mercy of the ele- ments and the coal men. If the usual action was taken now, it would probably be two weeks before the board could get the bids in, acted upon, and the contract let. During that time they would bave no supply to heat the school houses, But, it is understood, that a sort of sub rosa arrangement is being made. Mr. Pettibone, one of the members of board, has instructed the secretary of the board to frame a contract, and seems to have a desire to have the contract made with certain parties, night away, without any advertising for bids, or in fact, any pubhc action whatever. It may be that Mr. Pettibone has some understanding with the other members of the board, but Tuk Beke is informed that the hoard has taken no formal action at all authorizing such a contract, and if it had, would be a queer way of domg business, to award a con- tract for so large an amount without publicly announcing the fact, and giving the dealers a chance to compete, and let the public funds get whatever benefit might come from this competition. For one member of the board to have the letting of so heavy a contxact, and in 80 silent a way, subjects the board to still more severe criticism. The board evidently made a mistake in not having advertisedfor bids and settled its contract for fuel before the cold weather came on. It will make still more of a mistake if it takes the action which seems now to be contemplated, and lets 8o heavy a contract without pub. licly advertising for bids, and it will be hard work, indeed, to satisfy the public if it allows Mr. Pettibone or any other single member to do its :.nmmum‘,, and that contracting, too, without any open, public action, There has been considerable just indig- nation raised about the injunction sprung at this time of the year, prevent. ing the burning of soft coal in the | Bloonier school building, but there will b an equal amount of righteous indigna- tion if the board, after neglectinng to provide u supply of fucl until tho cold begins, then makes a contract on the sly, or allows one of its members to do so. Such a contract, thus let, may bo straight, and may be for the best inter- ests of the school fund, but in these sus- picious times it will bo very hard to con- vince the public that there is not some underhanded kink in the matter. The best thing the board can do is to make its conl contracts above board and in day- light, however satistied they may be per- sonally at the honesty of the deal under the table. - m— THEE MEAT INVESTIGATION, Mr. J.

Two Interesting Decisions Rendered By the Towa Raillway Com- missioners. Tw) interesting cases came up before tho lowa Railway Commissioners last week and decisions were rendered in each. The first was in regard to the weighing of cars, Lumber dealers at Meriden complained in shipping over the Illinois Central from Dubuque they have been weighing the lumber since last spring and find many cars fall short of the rail- way company's weight. They furnished the agent at Moriden with tickets and the freight bills were allowed to be paid on the corrected weights. The general freight agent has now instructed the Meriden agent to make no such correc- tions without the appreval of the general office, after sending evidence of over- cha The lumber dealers, it seems, weig| ed the lumber by the wagon load on a hay scale, by disinterested parties. The differences botween those weights and the company’s weigh bills ranged from 900 to 5500 pounds. This difference, it is dmmcd arises from the tact that lamber is often loaded in stock cars with manure in them, and the men were supposed to deduct a reasonable amount to cover the weight of the ma-. nure, but this was mere guess work, as often the lumber so covered the manure that the men could not see it. The com- missioners decide that this 18 a loose wa, to get at the weight, and one hardly cred- itable to the company. They declarothe practice of deducting from the total weight, the registered weight of the car, and such allowance as may be thought best, 4 very reprehensible one. It is the business of the railway company to pro- vide some means of doing this ac- curately, and if mo other method can be arrived at. the stock cars should be weighed before they are loaded as well ag afterwards, The company has no right to complain if their men guess too little. ANOTHER QUESTION. Forty citizens of Howarden petitioned the board, asking that the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul be required to locate a passenger station at that point, where the road crosses the Chicago & North- western. Howarden is a place of about 500 inhabitants, and is a divi- sion station for‘both passenger _and ledo & North- western and Dakota_Central railways, both branches of the Northwestern road. { The Milwaukee & St. Paul officials stato | in reply that their station at Calliope is less than a mile from Howarden, and that they canmot at present afford to maintain two stations so close together, and cannot abandon their station at Cal- liope, which was cstablished five years before the Northwestern was built in that locality. There was also a question whether tho railway company could abandon this station, or transfer it to another point, without the consent of all parties interested, The law authorizes the commissioners to recommend to the legislature in their annual report and notify the road to change its stations, when such change is reasonable and expedient in order to se- ure public accommodation, but in_ this instance the board decides that the facts do not warrant making such a recom- mendation. —— = PERS .

Oineinnati Commorcial-Gazette. Livisaston, Montana, September 7 Among the ny important questions which are receiving attention along that part of the line of the Northern Pacific oast of the mountains, that of treecul- ture ranks among the first. The officers of the two Territories interested, the ofticers of the road, the town authorities, and the large land-owners are paying earnest attention to the subject and adopting practical methods of arousing general intorest. The railroad company is prosecuting treo-planting on an immense scale. Back of its countless lines of snow fences it is preparing the ground and planting sev oral lines of young trees, i the main the trees are cottonwood, though in used, and both box eldor, olm and soft maple, are found to flourish, The preparation of the soil for planting has alveady progressed nearly across Dakote, and the trees are planted Another Montana the mountains, At Bismarck box elders already begin to make an oxcellont show. Several streots and two public Suu-k- are planted with them, The growth has been rapid, and it is regarded as sottled that timber of the kinds mentioned above can be readily grown. Atall the railroad stations there has been a beginning, and the same is true of the towns, The company has adopted a system of prizes to induce tree work among the settlers. In the first place it offers to transport free all trees under two years old, and all cuttings, or roots of the small fruits. Noxt, it offers three prizes to such as reach the best rosults with their tree or small fruit planting. The first prize is awarded to the two men in a neighborhood who are found to thus oxcell, and it entitles them to a pass for themselves, wives and children to Min- neapolis and St. Paul, and return, at the time of the annual fairs,. The noxt two best receive the same transportation for themselves and wiyes only, and the third prize entitles the men alono to the trans- portation. To theso cfforts of the railroad and the municipalities are added the inducements of the National Tree Culture Act. To- gother, they have already given a decided start to this important element of devel- opment. The influerice and example of the company will insure all tho success which can be obtained, and, as will be seen, the work is on a gnmt scalo. As to the several distinct agricultural tracts along the line from Fargo to the mountains, tho worth of the wheat belt, reaches well out toward Bismarck, is now everywhere known. The western por- tioh of this section is regarded rather as a grazing than a wheat region, though the interesting fact has appeared at every sta- tion out to Billings. Most excellent wheat and oats have been shown, which were raised on lands not irrigated. This station is 226 miles up the Yellowstone Valley, from Glendive, where the road first entersit. These exhibitions demon- strate the capacity of the whole region for grain to be much beyond sections at the east which have long been rated as excellent for the growth of the cereals. But, for fifty miles east of Bismarck to Fryburgh, ono hundred and_thirty-six miles west of it, the region will probably be for some time chiefly devoted to graz- ing. As a further aid, the towns and coun- ties are exerting themselves to stop prai- rie fires by fining those at fault’ in the matter. With thoe stopping of the fires it i found that various kinds of timber ap- pear. At Glendive,Montana, the road emerges from the Bad Lands and, entering vhe beautiful valley of the Yellowstone, fol- lows it two hundred and forty miles to Livingston. It is a clear, fast-flowing stream, as large as the Ohio at average summer stage, and navigable for steam- boats of two hundred and fifty tons to the nouth of the Big Horn, Its banks are ined with groves of good-sized and, for the most part, large cottonwood trees, whose dark groen leaves are o refreshing contrast to the polden yellow and the browns of the valle; The latter varies in width from three miles to ten, Itis little broken with ravines or gullies, and is, in general, a level covered with nutri- tions grass, The valley ismost picturesque in all por- tions, The blufs on each side are gener- ally precipitous, wrought into strange shapes, and covered with a thin growth of evergreens. At times they tako on the features of the Bad Lands in their bold- ness and curious forms. In places their swoep is gradual up to the sky line of the rolling prairies beyond them, Thus they form for a long day’s rapid ride o fast changing panorama of bold clifs and rolling slopes each of which ot times seem carved by giant workmen into ca- thedrals, castles, fontifications, pyramids, walled cities and all similar forms of arti- i workings. In spite of the elevation of over two thousand feet, the day was hot, and the night which followed barely cool enough for comfort, As this is the end of the first week of autumn this fact has a direct bearing upon the agricultural tics of the region. At Billings there was a silver exhibit of a most notable and novel character, As our train of nine palace cars drew up at the station, the main street of thecity, which 1an parallel to it, and had no houses on the side next the cars, Wwas oc- cupied by an ox-train of nine teams. Each of these was made up of three wagons tied together, and each of the threo drawn by eight yoke of heavyoxen. This train was much longer than our nine Pullmans, two baggage cars and a loco- motive, The wagons were large and strong, and those at the head of the train which we examined had each a littleover thirteen thousand pounds of silver and alloy, the latter mainly lead, in pigs, weighing nearly eighty pounds each. In the first team of three wagons thero were 40,000 pounds. This train came through a mountain region from Clarke's Fork mines, distant 126 miles. The train of 144 oxen belonged to one man. It brings in the product of the mines, and returns loaded with supplies, The geological exawinations along the valley have, us yot, only general. Liguite and good bituminous coal have abundance. The first is everywhere from the western edge of the Red River Valley to the Livingston, 1t burns fairly, costs little, and is very cheap. Every farmer can casily supply himself from his own lands, Excellent bituminous coal exists in the mountain sections, and the indications are that the road and the population which it attracts can be readily supplied with whatever fusl the development of the country may line, and probably to uire. ey Ryt e brought FURNITURE: - THE—— CHEAPEST - PLACE IN OMAHA TO BUY Furniture 18 AT DEWEY & STONES They always have the largest and best stock.
