THE New York Legislature, which
has already taken long step towards
the preservation Of the Adirondack
forests, seems also likely to do some
thing in the way Of saving Niagara
from the impending desecration Of that
great natural wonder. The Assembly
Committee to which the subject was re-
ferred has, without dissenting voice,
reported favorably bill authorizing
the Governor to appoint a commission
which shall appraise the value Of the
lands in the vicinity Of the Falls neces-
sary for park purposes, and report to a
future Legislature. The measure is
opposed by the owners Of a pulp mill
which has already been established
where its presence is an eyesore, but the
advocates Of the project show that the
manufacturing value of the unrivalled
water-poWer need not be impaired by
the removal Of mills and other such es-
tablishments from the immediate vi
cinity Of the Falls. 1t would be last
ing disgrace to the State if New York
should allow this wonder Of the world
to be given over to vandalism, and it is
to be hoped that the Legislature will
promptly adopt the measure now recon-
mended.

several reasons /: first, the room
is large, which is very necessary
50 that we can match carpets
on the floor, that customers can
see how they look before pur-
chasing; and second, the floor
can always be kept clean and
the carpets not become soiled

PNEUMONIA.

An unusual number Of deaths from
pneumonia is reported from all parts of
Of the country. The recent deaths of
Dr.. Beard and his wife, Of DIR. Ranney,
Of Marshall Jewell and Of George Daw-
son have directed particular notice to
the alarming prevalence and fatality Of
the disease. The mortality in New
York is very great and has attracted
attention. To ascertain the cause or
causes Of this great mortality Herald
reporter interviewed number Of prom
inent physicians, all whom expressed
the belief that the prevalence Of the
disease is largely due to overheated
rooms. "The great trouble with peo-
pie in this country" said DR.. VIM. A.
Hammond, lis that they will persist in
living in overheated rooms. And what
is the consequence /? When it is neces-
sary for them to go out the great differ
ence in the temperature strikes upon
their organization, the cold penetrates
them and pneumonia kills them. Even
without going into the street persons
inhabiting very warm rooms may con
tract fatal cold when passing into the
halls that are not heated. / have known
such cases. Particularly in country
houses is this true, where the rooms are
heated and the halls are not. To avoid
pneumonia people should take good
care of themselves / don't mean by
staying at home and making themselves
as comfortable as possible, but by max
ing their habits regular. Many suppose
that when the winter is severe and the
atmosphere is what is termed 'bracing,
that the mortality is not great. But
this is a mistake, for a severe winter kills
at both ends-kilIs off the very old and
the very young. There is less mortality
in a mild winter. Now, to avoid the
danger Of taking cold ] would recon-
mend people to keep their houses only
moderately warm. This apartment, !"

but the disease had the breach opened
for it by his indulgence in alcohol. AS
to the age at which one is liable or not
liable, I should say that man under
sixty, with good habits, ought to be
able to resist its inroads. Over sixty
years Of age any one may be subject

practicable to secure partners to accom-

away Oh that account.
In case of a severe blizzard preventing

should secure them in advance.

three weekly newspapers, besides three

and semi-occasional publications. The

gospel is the Bismarck Tribune, which

THE S., G. & T. M. R. r.
Is Not Long Line, but is Blessed with
Big Business.

When the Sanbom, Cooperstown ,N
Turtle Mountain railroad was being pro-
jected late last summer, little did it's most
sanguine friends. aside from it's actual
projectors, dream that it would he i'm
operation at this season of the year, when
half the ''plug" lines of the territory are
in winter quarters. Beginning opera
tiOns late in the season, and laboring UNI
der unusual disadvantages, the en.rgiz-
ing president, r. c. Cooper. and it's per-
severing general manager, Chas. A. Rob-
erts, have pushed the enterprise with
that vim that is so characteristic Of their
business lives that to-day trains are rum
ming regular to within twelve miles Of
CooperstOwn.
That the road will prove eminently
profitable is foreshadowed by the very
respectable traffic 1t is already getting.
Though only in operation a distance Of
"a miles the business of the line the first
two days of this week amounted to the
handling Of forty car loads of freight.
This is more than the business will aver
age, but from forty to sixty car loads
constitutes the regular weekly business,
to say nothing of fair passenger traffic.
When we consider the vast amount of
wheat yet in the regions north of Coop
erstown, and for that matter on all sides
of it, and the multitude of settlers al
ready billed for the end Of their track, tn
say nothing Of the volume of business
the coming rush for Dakota homes will
force upon them, it must be conceded
that the stockholders of the Sanl,orn T.
Cooperstown railway have struck a ''lead''
equal to the richest returning bonanza
farm. and we're glad of it.
The men at the helm are there as pub
lic-spirited citizens, and though entirely
unacquainted with the railroad business,
are doing for Griggs county and the co,nl-
try northwest of it, what rich corpora
tion, that had sold all it's lands, refused
to do-giving us an outlet by rail, and
that greatest Of modern civilizers. the
steam locomotive. We believe the COUR-
TER but voices the sincere heart of this
entire country when it wishes the stock
holders and officers the heaped-up meas
ure of financial success in their noble
undertaking that is now presaged them.
