ST. Paul, Mimi, March q. Three
hundred Great Northern passengers
from points west of the Eastern Mon
tana line, 20 tons of mail matter and
car after car of baggage, all snowbound
in North Dakota since last Friday,
reached st. Paul last night. The first
section of the through train arrived
last evening, breaking blockade that
lasted 1870 hours.
Passengers told stories of d-time
frontier priyations. They were on the
first eastbo1nd Overland train snow
bound, and were caught at Stanley,
N. d., a station which consists of a
side track and cattle yard.
From Thursday night until Monday
morning the passengers were hardly
able to leave the train. A blizzard
ragged and no food was to be had except
the limited quantity on the dining car.
The coal in the day coaches gave out
Sunday. Two brakemen took empty
mail pouches and going forward over
the drifts, filled them from the tender
of the engine They returned with a
supply of fuel after hard fight against
the storm, in which both we're badly
frost bitten.
The snow-plow reached the train
Monday, and it was sent west to Willis
ton, where local accommodations were
available and food plenty.
Incoming passengers reported snow
drifts Mt Stanley 20 feet high. In
other places the big rotary plows left
veritable snow tunnels, whore the
worst of the drifts had been. Great
trouble was experienced in clearing the
tracks because of the sand gathered up
from the level plains by the wind and
mixed with the snow. This dulled the
knives Of the rotary plows, making
constant repairs necessary. Sleet was
intermixed with the snow and when
the storm subsidized the drifts we're
covered with thick coat of ice which
made it possible to walk on them, but
greatly retarded the work of clearing
them away.

THE FRANCHISE TAX.
Large Returns to the state Trensury-In
suranCr Department Doing Well.


State Treasurer Martin B. Burris is
pleased at the large returns coming to the
State from the annual franchise tax. I'VE
have collected more money in franchise tax
at this stage than we did the whole Of last
year. he said. The reason for this ia in
the increase in the number of corporations
chartered under Delaware laws, yet doing
business outside the State.
The franchise tax is ut the rate of one
twentieth of one per cent of the stock of
those companies whose property and bust
ness is outside the State. The receipts from
this tax last year were about $4,000. and
Mr.. Burris expects it TO exceed that greatly
this year. In cuse of failure to pay the tux
II corporation is liable to fine Of one per
cent II month and the forfeiture Of its char
ter at the end of two years.
The value of the corporation business to
Delaware is also shown in the fact that the
receipts from the fees for issuing certifi-
Gates of incorporation last year aggregated
about SOL 600
The State Treasurer is also pleased at the
showing of the insurance department of the
State under the management of Insurance
Commissioner George w. Marshall. The
revenue of the department is very large and
DIR. Marshall is doing excellent work in his
general surveillance of the insurance corpo-
rations,

The hair of young women is not the
only thing that is bleachad. For it
has lately been discovered that the
famous peroxide solution will whiteR
teeth. The discovery is, indeed, one of
great value in dentistry. The nerves
of teeth have frequently to be killed
and the teeth then often turn black.
If they are in the front Of the mouth
they make IL considerable disiigure-
mont, and in the past this could only
be corrected by Gaping them with
porcelain or with gold. But now they
may he bleached TO the Wilderness of
snow. Little holes are bored in them,
aid the bleaching solution is injected,
small quantity at time. The first
application makes the black tooth's
edges pale. The second spreads the
pallor, and the fourth or fifth com
pletes the operation. Thanks to this
new treatment it is no longer necessary
for any one to have yellow or brown
teeth.
