Cold winters.

The man who leaves this section for
the klondyke with a notion that il is
not much colder on the Yukon than on
the Columbia, will know more after he
has passed one winter in Alaska A
few years ago the United States coast
and geodetie survey took n series of
weather observations on the Yukon
near The klondyke. The average for
December was IL below zero; for Janu-
AIRY. II below, and for February. Is be-
low. For five days in February the
average was A. degrees below zero For
16S DAYS that winter the temperature
remained below the freezing point.
This would be trying in a land of
more sunshine. In Alaska, where in
mldWinter, there are about 20 hours of
darkness, but. for the present, when
coal oil and candles must be counted as
luxuries only within reach of the rich
the long, dark winters will be full of
gloom.
However, there are points in the
United states which can make an APP
proaeh To the Yukon record for low
temperature. At Poplar river, Montana,
the weather bureau has a record of So
degrees below zero; at Fort Benton So
below. Fort Assinnihoine. SID below:
Fort Custer 475 below; Fort Shaw, AS
below: Fort Maginnis, AZ below; Hell
ena, 40.5 below. and Fort Buford. North
Dakota, ASP below.
One of the coolest and windiest
places in the United States is the sum-
NIT of Mount Washington, in New
Hampshire. The government obserya-
tory there has some startling records
In November 1884. the wind blew LIS
miles an hour. ON Dec. IL, 1854, with
the temperature 42,2 degrees below
zero, the wind blew SO miles an hour
On Jan. %. 1885 with the temperature
90 below, il blew 10 miles an hour. when
frost stopped the Wind gauge. In March.
1881, the wind attained a velocity of
49, miles an hour. and in December. the
same year, of 10 miles an hour
The coolest inhabited point on the
globe is thought 10 be WerchojansH
Siberia, with a record Of 90.i degrees
below zero. In the winter of 1885 the
temperature fell 10 Sa.S below zero in
February, 10 ia below in March. and
To 7S.2 below in December.
The printed type read before a cheer
full fire can give no conception of the
real meaning of these figures. On the
Yukon. when the temperature falls To
40 or 80 below zero, "A mans breath in
cutting the frozen atmosphere creates a
roaring sound that is startling when
first experienced.

A ROMANCE OF TO-DAY.

said. Wonderful" and How grand

At last he ceased speaking, ard for a
long time they sat there in silence.
Then he said

She looked down at the figures in the

Then their glances met again, and she
asked

it been since you lost herr"
He arose, took a turn around the room,
and then, confronting her, said:

these things Is with frankness. My

At last, when she had sufficiently re-

Missoula, Jan. 16-Chief of Police
Angeyine had a lot of trouble with an
inebriated wood hauler last night. The
fellow didn't offer 10 fight but he was
timber drunk and was SO big that the
officer could not carry him. 1t was like
leading a rag doll To try to get the fell
low TO walk. Finally the chief of police
made a special officer out of Tom Me
Leod. and the two succeeded in getting
his jaglets under cover.

The street Cars Rival.

The annual report of the state bureau
of railways of Pennsylvania, which has
just been completed, contains several
very interesting facts. among others the
statement that the stock capitalization
of street railways per mile of road is
greater than the average cost of steam
railways and their equipments i'm the
United States. This is stated to be due In
"a large measure TO the over-capitalization
of several companies combining, whereby
the amount of stock issued in the con-
solidated company Is inyariahle greater
than the combined capital of the several
companies.
Another unlooked-for fact is brought TO
light by the statistics of the past year
and that is that the combined receipts Of
all the street railway companies in the
state has largely decreased from that OF
past years. On this point Ma ior Brown
chief of the bureau. says: In all proba-
biIity the use of the bicycle by business
people and pleasure seekers Is the prolific
source of the reduction in the receipts
of many street railways. In many cities
where favorable conditions do not exist
for the use OF the bicycle, where the hills
are steep and not easy OF ascent or de-
scent, the railway companies probably
have not been affected by the use OF the
wheel TO so great an extent but in cities
like Harrisburg and many others it can
not be gainsaid that the bicycle has be-
come q most serious competitor OF the
railway.
To re-enforce this view of the case OBJ
servations made on Third street, Harris
burg. during the month of October last
ARE quoted. The observations covered two
days from 7 in the morning 10 in the
evening. During that time 6.07s persons
passed given point, 1862 in the cars and
Ais on bicycles; that is. GIT per cent. on
bicycles and 1913 per cent on the cars, or
more than two TO one In favor Of the
wheel. To what extent this large number
Of bicycle riders affected the receipts OF
the traction company can only be con-
5ectured-

Mssoula, Jan. 16.-Reports from up
the valley are to the effect that the new
Gihbonsville road is receiving steadily
increasing amount of business and that
much of the freight for the Idaho camp
Is now going in from this side. The
new road is an easy one all the way
and the distance from the railroad at
this end is much shorter than over the
Big Hole route. The Gibbonsville peo-
pie, as well as the Bitter Root farmers
and merchants, are pleased over the
success of the scheme Missoula deal

look is that the new road will establish
pleasant business relations between the
two sides Of the range.

Relative to Stamp Taxes.

n. B. Scott, commissioner of in
ternal revenue, has just issued re-
vised circular No. SOB relative to
stamp duties. 1t gives a great
deal of information that was not
hitherto generally known, or rather
gives definite Interpretation to
to the provisions of the act which
have heretofore been misconstrued.
No stamp is required on affida-
Wits.
A marriage certificate when it is
to constitute part OF public rec
ord, requires no stamp.
A teachers certificate issued by
a county superintendent OF schools
requires no stamp.
Quit-cldim deeds are subject to
taxation according to the value OF
the property interest conveyed and
not the amount of money involved
in the transaction.
Deeds of release OF mortgages
and trust deeds require to be
stamped. When the instrument
reconveys the title to the mortga-
gor they must be stamped like
other deeds.
Certificates issued at a tax sale
or certificates of redemption from
tax sale do not require stamps.
