WORKS IT'S ENGINES HARD.
Great Northern Read Knows How to-
Get Results From Them.

The Great Northern is proverbally Il
successful road at hauling freight, and
its showing in this respect compares most
favorably with that of any transconti-
mental road west of the Mississippi The
reason is tnat the Great Northern was
the first to obtain the best results from
its engines. AS far as possible it is
made rule never to allow an engine to
haul a load greatly below its capacity
to take it over any grade on the division
over which it runs. It costs almost as
much to run an engine with a load which
requires only half its hauling capacity as
with one which taxes it's powers to the
limit.
In this connection the following figures
show how the powers of the engines
have been more fully utilized every
year. In 1859 the revenue tons to every
freight train hauled were 916 The fol-
lowing year this increased to 336 tons
and last year this was raised to 356 tons
For the same three years the revenue
tons on every car of freight were 14.7.
15.7 and 1903 tons respectively. On sew
eral of the otner Pacific coast lines it
was only last year that the 3O0-ton limit
per train was reached.

IMAGINATION RUNS RIOT
TALK OF GIGANTIC RAILROAD
COMBINES HAS VERY SHAD-
OWY FOUNDATION
LEGISLATION IN THE WAY

LEGISLATION IN THE WAY

Tired of merely merging one great SyS-
tenn after another into some other which
as a rule is the weaker corporation of the
two, the men with gifted lnaginatons
have announced a gigantic consolidation
compared with which the billion-dollar
steel combine sinks into triviality. That
the trend of the times is in this direc-
ton is obvious and the principal railroads
in the United States would have doubt
less been merged long ago, but for the
difficulty encountered in evading legis-
parallel lines. If the last scheme which
has been promulgated is ever carried out
there will first have to be a radical
change in the laws which now govern
railroads all over the country
This has been recognized by the men
who are interested in the reducing of ex-
penses and the increasing of dividends
through Capitalization of management.
Tc overcome the working of the laws, the
comm unity of interest idea was evolved,
but as this imposes no binding obligations
on the parties interested it is open to
the objection that at some time or other
an unscrupulous road is liable to steal
a march on, it's supposed colleagues, and,
in the end, endanger the whole princi-
pie.
In this city such railroad men who are
capable of expressing an Intelligent opin-
ion, and have done so, the talk about the
almost immediate combination of several
great systems is laughed at. They say
that it is absolutely impossible, however
much the owners of the systems involv
ed are desirous of pooling their interests.
First existing legislation will have to be
repealed or agreements to work in har-
mony will not be worth the paper ON
which they are written.

CHILD G|)ES TO SCHOOL
ARNE-HOLLAND LITIGATION FOR
POSSESSION OF BOY is COM
PROMISED
BOTH PARENTS ARE SATISFIED
The Lad Is to he Sent to ShattucIx
Military Academy at Fari-
bauIt for Several

By an agreement reached yesterday be-
tween Frank M. Arne and Mrs Pauline
L. Holland. Raymond S. Arne. the nine
year-old boy, whose future custody re-
suited in an exceedingly hard-fought
trial in the district court some weeks
ago, will be placed in the Shattuck mill
tary school at Faribault
This was the compromise made known
by the couple yesterday, and in an oral
order given by Judge Kelly, who will file
his written mandate later, the agreement
was confirmed with the additional pro-
viso directing that the expenses of his
tuition and maintenance be borne equally
by the parents. Each will have the right
to visit the son, subject to the rules Of
the institution. Judge Kelly makes it
mandatory upon the father and mother
that neither must remove him without
an order
The findings, which will be filed by
Judge Kelly in a few days will be salts
factory to both parties and are directed
at providing for the lad in a manner
that will profit him when he has attained
his majority.
The parents were somewhat divided on
the particular school to which the boy
should be sent, the father desiring him
sent to an institution at Lake City and
the mother to F'aribault On the advice
OF Judge Kelly the boy was consulted
and evidenced strong desire for the
school at Faribault. This settled the mat
ter and between the attorneys the parents
were brought together.
Judge Kelly stated that he would not
interfere with the previous decree of the
court giving the custody of the boy TO
the father until he has attained his ma
jcrity. His schooling will require some
years and by that time he will have
reached a discretionary age.

ELEVATOR TAKES A DROP
COURT HOUSE LIFT FALLS FIVE
STORIES.

An elevator accident, which might have
ended disastrously, occurred at the city
hall, at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Four men, Frank Schulze, A. B. Merriam,
George Wiseman and James Mitchell, all
of Minneapolis, were engaged in an at
tempt to block up the old library elevator,
intending to change the gearing and in-
crease the pressure. While working at
it with block and tackle the hosting rope
snapped, and the car dropped from the
fifth floor to the bottom of the shaft.
Schulze was working on the top of the
car at the time the Iope broke With the
car he stayed for two floo.s and then
gave jump for cable in the corne1 of
the shaft. He caught the cable and
escaped with no more serious in Jury than
badly burned hands
Merriam and G. Wiseman, who were
standing on a narrow girder, which
crossed the shaft, called to Mitchell ard
A. Wiseman, who were at the bottom of
the shaft. The latter two crouched up
close to the walls of the shaft ana the
rapidly descending car crashed against
the bottom less than two feet away from
them. The elevator was a total wreck.

IMPROVED MIND.
The Food Grape-Nuts.

A famous woman says: 81 am so much
in love with Grape-Nuts that I presume
l often bore people telling them ABOUT
the new food. You certainly will make
an everlasting fortune from the sale OF
it. The article has become the best
known cereal on the market
1t can hardly be called a cereal, for it
is not like the common rolled wheat or
rolled oats, but it is in the form of
granules, ranging from the size of a pin
head up to twice or three tines that
size.
1t is thoroughly cooked at the factory,
and requires no preparation whatever.
but can be served instantly with hot
milk or hot cream to make hot mush
or cold cream can be poured IN the side
of the saucer and very delicious crisn
fcod is the result. Not only is the taste
fascinating, but the nutrit;ve value of
the food is very great as shown by the
improved condition physically and men
tally, of those who use it ten days or
two weeks.

A petition to sell a payment-plan life
