st. Cloud is about to construct a
sewer in the 'lower' ravine, and 1t
ia planned to make it a five-foot
sewer, that will cost about $4,000.
A writer in the Journal Press pub.
fishes a very interesting letter on
sewer systems, and strongly urges
that the Warning system be adopted,
and small sewer put in, at less
than half the cost Of the larger ones.
The system he suggests is that used
In Little Falls. This plan for a small
system, that did not attempt to
take care of the street drainage. was
the Invention of Col. Warning, who
made such an excellent record as
street commissioner Of New York.
The system is cheap in construction,
and entirely satisfactory where
proper care is given to flushing. In
st. Cloud the property owners bene-
fitted are supposed to pay for the
sewers.

Expression on the Subject.

Make it public, tell the people
about it, "bad backs" are numerous,
grateful citizens talk. they tell their

is too good to keep. Everybody
should know about the little conquer.

Little Falls people are learning and
better still they're being cured. Lame

every day labor in Little Falls of

: NEW =; MAIL SERVICE.
Eastern Malls VIII Arrive at
Twin Cities Earlier Be-
ginning Jan. I.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
While in Washington. Postmaster
LoyejOy learned that the fast mail
\ service from the Atlantic to Mime
apolis would be inaugurated Jan. l.,
and the running time from here to
the seaboard will be reduced several
hours. The fast mail will reach Chi
cag0 earlier in the evening and leave
for Minneapolis over the Milwaukee
at $50 p. M, arriving here at $50 in
the morning, thus shortening the
time from Chicago by three hours.
/ 1t now seems probable that
changes in tho railway mail service
will, be confined to the lines east Of
Minneapolis, with the exception Of
the 500. Neither the Great Northern
nor the Northern Pacific appears in
clined to transfer the departure Of
the overland to a morning hour, and
1t Is doubtful II any Encouragement
Of their schedule ia undertaken. The
overland now starts for the west In
both instances early in the aftern Don.
One reason for retaining the pres
ent schedule is found in the fact that
an earlier overland train would miss
the late trains coming up from Chi
cagO. This business is of consider
able Importance to the transcOnti-
mental lines. And there is also the
additional reason that at present
the principal points In the west are
reached at an opportune hour.
We're the coast train to leave Mime
apOlis earlier in the morning these
western cities would be reached In
the night, a matter OF some incon-
venience to travellers.

The announcement that the Union
Pacific reorganization committee has Sc
cured control Of the Oregon Short Line
railroad, and through 1t Of the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation Company, Is
OF immense concern to Oregon and Of
Importance to the entire Pacific North
west. 1t Is another significant change
in the transcontinental situation. and
its effect and its influence on the north
ern lines are yet to be determined.
1t is said to be the purpose Of the
Union Pacific to maintain the indc-
pendent organization Of its two allied
lines. II so. the new control Of the
Union Pacific Will have completely re-
versed the former policy. and II is 10
be presumed that there will be no i'm
portant change In present alliances. If
not, both the Short Line and Oregon
Grated as a part of the Union Pacific
system. Just what that means, and
how serious it will affect its prestige,
Portland well knows. having had ex-
perience. 1t would mean that the pres
ent alliance OF the Oregon Railroad
and Navigation with the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific must termi-
nate. and that the newly established
Portiand-Northern Pacific Oriental
Steamship line will be withdrawn, and
that Oregon will have just one trans
continental road besides the Northern
the so-calied Ogden gateway. and the
complete retirement from competition
for Northwestern business of the Dem
yer and Rio Grande Rio Grande West
ern and all other railroads of the great
Middle West not Immediately allied
with the Union Pacific
oregon is Just as much concerned in
preserving the autonomy OF the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation Company as
Seattle and Washington are the Pacific
Coast Oregon Improvement Company.
The Oregon Railroad and Navigation
was once leased TO the Union Pacific.
II was soon realized that q costly
hluuder had been made. The bank
ruptcy of the Union Pacific and the
consequent cancellation OF the Short
Line and Oregon Railroad and Nav.ga-
tion leases were godsend to OREGON.

The New York Press. stalwart Repub-
hcan newspaper, denounces as unfit and
unsuitable the presidents appointment OF
Billy Henkel to be United States mar
shall for the southern district OF New
York. The Press adds this interesting
comment:
1T will not be fair. however, for dis
gusted Republicans 10 charge the insult
abieness Of this selection to the president.
The president Of the United States cannot
be expected TO know about ali the Billy
Henkels in our party. 1t Is customary for
presidents to make such nominal tons as
this on the accommodation of those
whose Judgment and whose interests in
the party and in the public welfare he be-
lieves he can trust"
The president has taken q simple and
effective method OF avoiding responsible
ity for bad appointments. He has plainly
stated that he will act on the recommend
alton OF Republican members of congress.
In Washington. for instance we all know,
or think We know, who has made the Sc
lections for Federal offices. although Mr.
Perkins is likewise generally credited with
being able to put In an. influential word.
So, If any Of the nominations do not give
satisfaction, 1t is likely that Mckinley
Will be acquitted and Senator Wilson or
Mr.. Perkins held in some degree account
able.
