westerly direction, to be called the Fargo,
Missouri & Pacific railway. It will strike
the Missouri river somewhere near Stevens
county, hundred miles or so north of
Bismarck and then on to the Pacific coast.
Eventually it is designed to run about
midway between the Canadian and North
ern Pacific. The report states that work
will commence at this end of the line this
fall if the weather will permit; if not, early
in the spring. It will run through the
Mouse river country and probably cross
the Missouri not far from Fort Stevenson.
The character of the men named in con-

LETTER POSTAGE.


The postmaster general has obtained IN
formation from various postmasters rela-
tive to the percentage OF prepaid letters
weighing under half an ounce and less
than an ounce and over an ounce. Post
master CouEer OF this city has written a

of count of the letters passing through

these three days was 55,S02, of which So
40 weighed under half an ounce, 4.O68
weighed over half an ounce and less than

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10--After the 18th of
this month, said Col. Thompson, the rail
way mail superintendent, the new time
Standard will go into effect. Time tables
for the mail trains have already been
printed. The national observatory will
also commence on the 18th and reckon
time on the new basis. Under the present
system of reckoning time the difference in
time between points west of given meri-
dian is figured by minutes and seconds.
The new system reckons by hours. To
illustrate: There is in round numbers five
hours difference in time between New
York and San Francisco. Well, the space
meridians. The first meridian the time
ID the same, or perhaps more properly
speaking, the clocks will be set
alike and people will go by it..
Il will make an hours difference between
Washington and Pittsburg, when the &C
tual difference is only about 13 minutes.
Boston and Washington will have the same
time. If the meridian runs through the
south and north sides in Chicago, when it
Is o'clock on the south side it will be
only o'clock on the west side Under
the present system most every railroad has
different time by which its trains are run.
Accidents frequently happen on this ao-
count. Train dispatcher5 and conductors
forget the slight variations. At u o'clock
midnight, on the 18th inst, We will have
the new reckoning. One o'clock will mean
l O'Clock IN the morning, but what we now
call p. n. Will be called - O'Clock, and
so on up TO midnight which will be called
