This is the way the Benson Monitor
goes for the G. N. for disseminating
that day train. Good. Hit 'em again:
Vanderbilt's saying, 1.-THE public be
ID seems to have been adopted by
the officials of the Great Northen rail
way lbs their motto. They have
taken off the day passenger trains on
this division and now if the people
want to so anywhere they are obliged
to put up with the miserable accom-.
modations of Il freight train or the
but little better services offered on the
night trains. All mail for stations
having no night Office is carried on
freight trains and it is needless to
state, is at least day behind time.
No one Will believe that the company
has made this move on account of
poverty. Its night trains are always
oVertlowed with passengers and the
day trims were always we'll patronized.
What, then, can be the cause of this
lack of accommodations! Does the
railroad company think that by put
ting on a front indicating pitiful pow
erty that it will affect the railroad
Legislation this winter and prevent
the lawmakers from passing more
stringent measures regarding corpO-
rations and common carriers? There
must be something stronger behind
this new movement than lack of pat
ronage, because it is easily seen that
the company now has as much of that
as can be attended to with their pre-
sent poor facilities. But if they think
they can throw dust in the eyes of the
legislators their delusion will un-
doubtedly be speedily dispelled.

As rule Stevens county has very
respectable roads, but still there is
room for improvement, and any sug-
gestions as to the best way to improve
them is always in order. M. p. Brown.
~.r-------y .. co.. writes as follows to
an agricultural paper in relation to
repairing highways: Farmers and
business men here are cooperating
and hauling gravel on such patches of
sand or ielgy as have made chronic
bad spots in the roads. We find re-
suits much more satisfactory than
when plowed and scraped merely for
the purpose of doing something to
work out our poll-tax, and leaving the
roads like rolling sea. Moral: A little
work mixed with common sense and
right material is much better than a
good deal of work with poor material.
i Draw OH gravel and quit blowing
and scraping.

The TRIBUNE firmly believes in
the saying ''blood tells" but still with
poor feed and neglect good blood tells
but a sorry tale, and like the scrub
stock business, the balance will be on
the wrong side of the ledger. Scrub
stock only holds out prospect of loss,
as with the best of Garrett cannot be
profitable, while good stock, wei
cared for, is bringing profits to the
owner and prosperity to our grand
little county of Stevens, and the rapid
advancement not only of the improve
ment of cattle but all other farm stoc k
is harbinger of better times for our
farmers. The day is not far distant
when the scrub cow shall have become
