PELICAN POINT BRIDGE.
A Practical Engineer Makes a Report on
The Cost.

Engineer Holman, of the Great
Northern railway, made an examina-
tion. of the Pelican Point bridge and
GRADE this week, for the. purpose OF
forming an estima, # the cost OF
putting the same i. repair, and as
certaining whether or not the grade
could be made permanent. His re-
port is very favorable to the enter
prise. He says he made soundlngs
or both sides of the grade s5 feet into
the water, and at no place was the
water more than three. feet deep.
Much of the grade is under water
some places as much as a foot m a
half. The bridge stands above water.
Engineer Holman estimates that the
cost of putting the grade in first class
condition SO that it will remain per-
manently, will be between -, 500, and
So, 600. The amount, considering the
amount of work to be done, and the
vast benefits to be derived, is a mere
bagatelle.rbut it will require some
effort to raise it. The business men
have always responded literally II

WHEN TO GRIND FEED.

The following concise advise from
a recent book on feeding by Prof.
Henry, of Wisconsin, a recognized
authority on. the subject, is commend
ed: -."This subject is a difficult one
to discuss owing to the great variety
of conditions, existing as to both grain.
and animals. Directions are here
given which may serve to guide the
feeder in his practice. For horses
which are out Of the stable during the
day and worked hard, all grain, with
the possible exception Of oats, should
be ground. For those at extremely
hard work, all grain should be ground
and mixed with chafed hay. For
idle horses oats or corn should not be
ground, nor need the hay or straw be
chaffed. A COW yielding a large flow
of milk should be regarded as a hard
working animal and her feed prepared
accordingly. Fattening steers and
pigs may be crowded more rapidly

to arrange the campaign for rde and
guarantee my election. His plan was
a simple one, but very effective. He
gave a great party at Bellfield, and
every man and woman In the entire

! plenty to eat and drink and some little
music. Teddy assured me that it was
easy. He introduced me to every
person present as the next county

president Of the United States was a
politician even then and his plan of
getting me before the people, glasses

with: meal than with, whole grain,
though there is more danger attending
upon it's use. Sheep worth feeding
can always grind their own grain.
In general, idle animals and those
having ample. time for mastication,
rumination and digestion do not need
their grain or roughage prepared as
carefully as do those with only limited
time for these essential operations.
Experiments quite generally show in
creased gains from grinding grain,
but in many cases they are not sufi-
cient.to pay the cost Of grinding"

FUeITIvES BACK IN QUEBEC
GaynOr and Greene win First step
in Their Fight Against
Extradition.

MONTREAL, Quebec, May 2O.-Colonel
Gaynor and Captain Greene have won the
first skirmish in the fight against extradi-
ton to the United States and tonight the
two men are In the old city Of Quebec,
where they believe proceedings to force
them to return to the United States to an
swer the charge of defrauding the United
States government can be successfully
fought.
Tonight at 10 O'Clock a special train on
the Canadian POcihc arrived from Quebec
with High Constable Gale and assistants
on board. armed with a writ of habeas cor
pus, They got into a cab and drove to the
Montreal Jail, to which institution Gaynor
and Greene had been committed by Judge
La Fontaine during the afternoon. Within
about half an hour the officers were leaving
the city with their prisoners.
There was a warm argument today in
the extradition court before Judge La
Fontaine when the Gaynor-Greene case was
called. 1t began when the counsel for the
accused complained that yesterday they
were unable to secure access to their ell
ents. who were being confined in a private
prison at the Windsor hotel. They, there
be committed to the Montreal Jail in charge
of Governor Vallee so that they could Sc
cure access to them.
Mr.. McMaster for the United States gov
eminent at first raised no objection, but a
few minutes later he received information
that two writs were sworn out and one OF
these was addressed to Governor Vallee.
Once in the Montreal Jail the writ would
be served on the governor and he would
have no choice but to obey it's call and take
Gaynor n Greene down to Quebec. Mr..
McMaster entered a vigorous protest against
the proceedings.
Judge La Fontaine took the matter un-
der AMUSEMENT and this evening decided
that as the prisoners really should be In
Jail, and desiring to go there, he had nc
alternative but to commit them. The pris.
oners were then taken and committed to
the care Of Governor vallee until Friday
next.
