MANITOBA™ LINES FOR SALE Northern Pacific Has Not Received an d ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 5.—It was reported from Winnipeg today that the Northern Pacific had sold its Manitoba lines to Mc- Kenzie & Mann, raflroad promoters, and ibat the latter would take possession within lhree months.

McKenzle & Mann have never mado any proposition whatsoever for our Manitoba lines. Tho quostion has never been discussed. They may be about to make one, but wo know nothing about that. Or it may be that the Manitoba govern- ment intends to buy and have McKenzle & Mann operate the road for them, but there has certainly been no offer made or proposition submitted up to the present time. “Would the Northern Pacific sell its Man1- toba lines?" was asked. “Certainly, if we could get our price. We would sell anything if we oould get our price.” " PAUL, Misn., Northern Pacific management again showed their falth in the future of the road by closing & contract with the Pullman Car for nearly $200,000 The contract covers the construction of forty company of Chicago ‘worth of new passenger equipment. passengor cars of various classos.

Diggs, state librarian, speaking before the Current Events club, sald ““There are four great commonwealths in this country that place women on exactly the same footing as men. They are Colo- rado, Montana, Utah and Idaho. But I am afraid sometimes that through some crudity in legislation this right will be swept away. Even now word comes from Colorado t! an effort is being made to disfranc| women." Mrs. Diggs made an earnest talk to the women of Kansas City by urging them to %0 arrange their household affairs as to at tend the state equal suffrage reunfon at Topeka, and thus make the reunion a grand rally for equal suffrage.
