THE GROCER.
AMONG THE
New Track Laid During Twelve
Months Past Southwest is the
Scene of Great Activity.

When the complete statistics are in
they probably will show that 1902 was
the greatest year in the history Of rail
reading in the United States, They
will also show that the Western roads
have enjoyed the maximum prosperity.
The new mileage in 1902 has not been
equaled in any year since 1883.
The new mileage for 1902, as given
by the Rdilsray Age, is somewhat less
thar the figures complied by the
Railtcdg Gazette, which gives the total
at more than 5000 miles. According
to the Age, the record shows a total OF
$3.50 miles Of track laid on $40 lines in
forty-four states and territories from
January l to December 81, 1902, exclu-
siye Of second track and sidings and
without taking into consideration
many private lines and logging roads
which have been built for temporary
use.
Reference to the table will indicate
that the Southwest continues 10 be
the scene Of greatest activity, and that
in Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory and New Mexico
2,2ls miles have been added In the
last twelve months. Indian Territory
stands at the head OF the list, with 54l
miles; Oklahoma is second, with 532
miles; Texas third, with $50 miles;
New Mexico fourth, with 38s miles;
Arkansas fifth, with 30s miles; Min
nesota sixth, with PIG miles, and Mis-
souri, seventh. with 30 miles.

No REASON FOR HIGH PRICES.
Secretary Wilson Says Value of BEEF
on Hoof Has Dropped.

WASHINGTON, December 28.-Mr.
Wilson, secretary Of agriculture called
attention to-day to the fulflment Of
his prophecy made some months age
that Christmas beef would be at
about normal price at Christmas time.
1.-THE market reports show said the
secretary, s'that cattle which were
selling at IS. so to sS.75 in August and
early September are now selling at
from 81 to s5.25. That is a reduc-
tion in the price of beef on the hoof
of about 40 per cent, and it should
bring your roasts and steaks down to
about the normal price. understand
that the prices OF retail beef have
dropped very materially In the west,
although the meat dealers in the east
still maintain rather stiff rates; still
they 7 considerably less than they
were several months ago. There is no
Justification for high prices now, but
it is always a slow process to get deal
ers to abandon the schedules fixed
when their supply is limited. Dealers
are now making a handsome profit and
will delay as long as possible the res.
toratiOn OF the old prices.''

EDITORS Of newspapers should con
duct their affairs along business lines
like other business men. All the
cheap jokes about editors being pau.
pers and owing everybody and taking
pay in wood, turnips, bull pups and
grindstones is the fault Of the editors
themselves. Editors should pay theil
debts like other people and should be
paid for their paper, their advertising
and their job work at living rates. II
the editors Of country papers do their
business along business lines the fol
lowing, which is going the rounds of
the press, would not be so pointed:
"After a great deal Of study and wor-
ry we have at last fingered out why
so many country editors get rich. Here
is the secret Of their success. A child
is born in the neighborhood, the at
tending physician gets $40; the editor
gives the loud-tongued youngster and
the happy parents a send-off and gets
so. 1t is christened and the minister
gets IS and the editor gets 900. 1t
grows upand marries: the editor pub
publishes another long-winded and
fOwery article and tells a dozen lies
about the beautiful and accomplished
BRIDE The ministerigets $40 and a
piece Of cake and the editor gets 5000.
In the course Of time IL dies and the
doctor gets from Z 70 500, the minis
ter perhaps gets another five, the I'M
dertaker gets from $50 to 500, the ed
itor publishes a notice Of the death
and an obituary twocolumns long, lodge
and society resolutions,a lot Of poetry,
and affeacaI gets
10000. No wonder so many country
editors get rich"

PUT TO THE TEST.
Mexico People Appreciate a Good

EVERYBODY has their hour Of trouble
But people having any itchiness Of

Have many hours Of trouble.
Nothing so annoying. Nothing sc
Irritating.
Scratch it, it becomes worse;
Leave it alone and you can hardly
stand the misery.
Itchiness comes in many forms,
Eczema and horrld itching piles.
Relief and cure are here at last;
Mexico people have put it to the
test.
Doan's Ointment cures every form
of itchiness Of the skin.
People at home are learning that
this is SO.
Here is a proof in a citizens state
ment.
W. II. Fink, OF Mexico, No., says:
"For at least twelve years il l was not
annoyed with itching hemorrhoids /
never knew the moment when an at
tack was surf to bother my very
existence. During that time l was
treated by more than one physician
and ! used several patent medicines,
guaranteed as sure cures, but l
never received any lasting benefit.
Always On the outlook for something
that might at least give relief il not
radically dispose Of the annoyance, l

BLIZZARD AND sO-MILE GALE.
Northwest in the Grip of a Tremend-
Gus Storm Railroads r Crippled
and Fuel is Scarce.


ST.. PAUL, MINI, Jan. 6--Meager
reports have reached here Of a terrific
blizzard which is raging tonight in
South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa
and moving rapidly eastward.
The storm struck Sioux City about
8 O'Clock. The temperature fell rap
idly and the wind rose almost to hur-
ricane velocity, m report putting its
speed at ninety miles an hour.
BY morning, 1t is thought, the rail-
way service will be practically at a
standstill.
Fuel is scarce in some localities and
the cold wave will cause an increase
of suffering.
