Washouts.

We are just at present indulging in
little experience in delayed trains
due to washouts, ourselves. A wash
out short distance below the water
tank on the Great Northern occurred
last Wednesday morning, and we had
to put up with one mail a day and NO
freight from the south and east until
last Saturday. The main line is all
right once more, but we understand
the Watertown branch and the Brock
enridge division west is in terrible
shape and will not be in running or
der for some time yet.
The Northern Pacific is also having
hard time of it. A washout near
Glenwood has blockaded that road
the past week, and it will be few
days yet before it will be in shape to
do business.
The Pomme de Terre has reached
its highest point and is now receding.
1t has also done about all the dam
age it could. Last Wednesday the
dam at H. w. Stone & Co.'S mill, or
about thirty feet of it, was washed
away, entailing heavy loss to the
firm. Later in the day the dam at
Johnson's mill, about five miles up
the river, was also carried away,
which will cause considerable expense
and delay in repairing it.

Painful Accident.

Last Monday Fred Andert's little
four year old boy, while playing
with his playmates, met with pain
full, but not serious accident. While
playing around the house the little
fellow fell off the bed and dislocated
his elbow. DR.. Spur was called and
set the fractured member, which is
liable to keep the bright little fellow
indoors for few weeks.

AcetyIene Gas.

We have heard considerable talk
lately of Acetylene gas for lighting
purposes, and have made some in
quiry regarding the practicability of
this gas, and we are forced to admit,
in due candor to all, that it has not
proven very successful invention.
We learn from Mr.. FL. L. Smith, who
Investigated acetylene gas thoroughly
with view to purchasing the patent
right for this county, that it is yet a
complete failure, and lacks great
deal of taking the place of electricity
In the first place it is a high explo
sive, and consequently is very dan
gerous, which point alone would
make any man timid about placing it
in his house and jeopardizing the
lives of his family.
It is also very poisonous; another
thing that makes it dangerous.
Another point which is important
and all essential is that the material
which the gas is made of, when the
first supply is all gone, cannot be re-
placed.
We learn that it has been tried in
several places Ortonville for one
and they soon got tired of it and
threw it away. 1t is claimed by the
agents to be cheaper than electricity,
but in the long run it is not as cheap.
Another objective point is that each
and every business block or residence
would hayeto have separate plant.
It cannot be supplied from one point
in the city through pipes, the same
as the present system of illuminating
gases. It no doubt makes very
good light, but lacks considerable of
answering the purpose.
DR.. Harris. on being interviewed
on the subject, says he thinks it is
not practical SO far, inasmuch as it is
new invention and lacks few
points of being perfected. ALI claim
it is a perfect light. We will investi-
gate it further and give our readers
more next week.
We have just received carload of
bran and shorts, which we have for
sale.

AFTER THE UNION PACIFIC.
The Coates Syndicate Asks for
POstponement of the Sale.

London, Oct. 29.-Long cable messages
have been sent to United States Attorney
General McKenna in the matter OF the
Union Pacific railroad sale on behalf of
the Coates syndicate. making ouers that
meet the objections raised. The syndi-
cate claims that its bid would produce
$50, 900, 900 more to the government than
any other bid, and urges that the sale be
adjourned until December 10Th to enable
Congress to determine the advisability of
the acceptance of part payment.
Coates, Son & Co. contend that BY the
sale of the Union Pacific separately the
United States Government will be loser,
while they Coates, Son &; Coz propose to
pay the government in full for 10th
roads.
The final cable message sent Yesterday
asserts that the latest SchiH..bid is very
little better than tho previous bids and
that once Mr.. Schiff has secured the
Union Pacific, he will have the Kansas
division at his mercy, and be able to get
it at his own price. The dispatch CON
cludes as follows:
"1f the Government secures a post
ponement Of both sales to December 10,
the Coates syndicate will furnish guar
antees to pay in full for the government
claims on both roads Congress can then
determine whether both roads should be
sold concurrently. BY our bids we have
already earned SO, COO 600 for the govern
ment, and are, therefore. entitled to fair
opportunity to more than four weeks
notice OF the sale of these great railroads,
to secure the property on the basis of
getting some millions for the govern
ment.''

EIGHT HUNDRED MILLIONS A
YEAR FOR FREIGHT.

do not know that many are aware
that the annual freight bill Of this coun-
try amounts to more than $500, 0L0, 900 Is
year 1t is a tax, and the most burden
some tax which this country knows, upon
our industries and upon production. Its
meaning, brought home, is that each
family i'll the United States pays on IAN
average 500 IA year for freight alone. If
Commissioner Wright's statistics are cor.
rcct-that the average income of each In.
borer in this country is not more than
S300 il year then each head of Il family
must set aside on the average the results
of month and a half of toll to pay his
share of the freight There is no Jones
to do it here The people OF the West
have learned this econon ic lesson well.
They have seen their wheat carried over
the Great Lakes ut IN average charge of
less than one mill per ton mile, when the
railroad rate from their farms to lake
transportation, or to market, was from a
cent to cent and half per ton mile.
They know that if all the freight in the
United States could be carried rs cheaply
rs is wheat from Duluth to Buffalo this
burden would be cut down to one-tenth
of what it is now. Such consdera lions
as these ought to make it plain, even to
wayfarer or Congressman, that the
freight question is worth little atten-
tion.--" From the Lakes to the Sea- by
