NATURALLY Mr.. Harris. the editor.
Was a man in high consideration; no

Mr. Haia. the schoolmaster, was a

mand for all Isa1asI of festivities.
Both gentlemen went at least as
~cheerfully as they were bid-and
neither ever missed one of these de-
ightful dances which were a feature
of Wauhatchie society. Both the
editor and the schoolmaster danced
yilely-and each regarded his own ca
pers with much complacency. These
facts are interesting but not essen

ne Northern Pacific Combine.

What in the way Of public gain or
loss win be the outcome of the latest
and greatest railroad combine. by
which nearly $4,000 miles of western
and northwestern roads. capitalized at
about S2.000.C00.00o. have been brought
under one control. remains TO be seen.
There are thoughtful economists who
see in IL another step toward the ulti-
mate government ownership aud opera
ton OF transportation facilities. At
any rate. tie consolidation of such
agement makes II far easier for the
government TO take over" the proper
ties should IL desire to do so than il
they were under separate and diver
gent managements. Ii relieves the gov
eminent OF much of the preliminary
work of organization which would be
necessary II it chose TO take control OF
the roads. In which event the federal
authorities would have only To assume
the debts OF the system. exchange na-
tional bonds for the stock AMI take
upon Itself the task of operation.
Whether or not this sweeping and
farreaching combination may lead ulti-
mately to government ownership IL is
quite probable to lead TO more definite
aud effective government regulation Of
the carrying interests of the country.

ton as TO what would be the result Vi

Nearly every rear about this time
there prevails freight car famine OF
greater or less severity. At this season
the iron and steel interests are plling
up stocks of raw material Of all Kinds
SO as to get somewhat ahead ia the
winter months. as transportation then
y more cpstly and inconvenient This
requires an extra number of cars at
Just the time when cars are needed
most for crop moving The result is a
serious shortage of transportation faeil-
tiles. Several unusual circumstances
have made the shortage now more seri-
Gus than heretofore.
In the FIRST place. the general distrib-
utive trade of the country was never
SO heavy as now. Profitable crops have
given farmers more money. aud in
creased buying is the consequence. The
consumption OF all classes in cities has
also greatly Increased. Then. there Is
the bumper wheat crop OF this year,
which makes an extraordinary demand
upon the railroads for cars. Whether
the railroad companies are doing all
they can 10 relieve the famine cannot
be stated. though il seems that they
ought to have foreseen the necessity for
greater facilities.
II is apparent that great inconven
ience and not little loss are being occa-
stoned by the inadequate facilities Tor
moving the crops Of the west to the
eastern markets. The situation. partic-
ularly at Buffalo. which Is an impor
tant center Of grain transportation. IS
most serious and suggests the necessity
Of an improved and enlarged canal
from the great lakes to the seaboard

The plan of voting by machine seems

rily. The votes were recorded easily
and promptly In each case. and the re-
suit was announced within an hour In
Buffalo the vote OF LOG of the los dis
tricts was known within thirty-five
minutes after the closing of the polls.
The New York Evening Post in sum-
ming up the results from the different
counties OF the state says that mo com
plants have been heard from any quar-
ter as to their smoothness and accura-
cy in operation. while the quickness
with which the result can be ascertain
ed Is amply attestcd-"
The principal point in favor Of the
voting machine, as In the adding ma
chine. Is the absolute accuracy Of Its
counts. There can be no questioning
the result This was illustrated yea:
ago In Utica. where the vote In an al
dermanic election stood 433 to 432. Un-
der the old system there would have
been a contest and a recount. but with

ceptance as the adding machine In the

Thus 1t will be seen that while the
loss for October doubled that of the
previous October the aggregate for the
year thus far was somewhat less than
last year But the figures are not suf-
dcieDtly far apart to give indication
that losses in this direction will be ma
terially lessened. The facilities for
putting out fires. particularly in the
larger cities. are as nearly perfect as
may reasonably be expected The only
preventive. therefore. for this enor-
nous drain upon the wealth Of the
country lies In the direction of greater
care and precaution upon the part OF
the people themselves and more
stringent enforcement Of the penalties

New Years Greetings.

1t would be difficult indeed to
formulate expressions or convey
ideas i'm a New Years greeting
that have not been used in this
connection time and time again
and, yet, to omit the greeting for
that reason would be like neglect
ing to meet a friend on your
door-steps with a kindly welcome
because he had just visited you
the week before.
1t is "the old, old fashion,
but it is ever new in the fresh
ness and sympathy of its senti-
ment. 1t is like when relatives
and friends congregate to bid you
"good by" and "God speed.'
upon a journey into a strange
country where dangers which
cannot be foreseen nor guarded
against or known to exist, with
the dread apprehension that they
may never meet you again. 1t is
the expression of that ''touch of
nature which makes the whole
world KIM" and that makes us
glad that we belong to the fam
lily.
In this spirit we extend our
Sew Years greeting to our read
ers. The past year has been a
prosperous one to us as people.
Che New Year is full of invita-
ion and promise to energy,
thrift and economy. This mist
of the war cloud scarcely tints
he horizon, and We predict that
it will be disipated by the cheer
Jul breath of peace, and q better
feeling Mll exist among the civ
.lized peoples. 1t is inevitable
that misfortunes will come to
some of us-troubles deep and
sore; but take courage! Others
nave suffered before, and have
found happy issue out of all
their affections. Know, that sin
he darkest night Hope sees a
star, and listening Love can

Already there are Indications OF
stampede from Rossland and other
gold mining regions to the Carbon
country. The locality In which the last
lucky prospectors struck II so rich Is a
difficult one TO reach. II is long tramp
in good weather. In winter 1t would be
extremely difficult. and the returned
prospectors say II would be impossible
to accomplish anything on account OF
the altitude and the depth OF snow.
But with the coming Of spring there ID

that to the Klondike a few years ago.
The discovery of another placer dis
trIct In that vast region bears out the
theory of mineralogists that half Of
the gold deposits have yet to be dis
covered. There seems. at all events. to
he no danger that the worlds supply
of gold will very soon be exhausted.
