MUCH MONEY IN
THIS MAIL ROUTE
James Carr Is the Carrier
and He Nets $1,000
q Trip.

James Carr, who arrived in Minne-
apolis yesterday from Seattle. has
been carrying the United States mail
for two years over the most difficult
route in the world, and one which OBJ
tains no recognition at present from
the government.
Carr is young man Of TWENTY
eight, bronzed with the cold winds Of
the Alaskan wilderness and muscled
like draught horse. He has made
trips several times Of 1900 miles
through snow and ice, from Cooks In
let to Nome. The distance is not so
great at some seasons of the year, but
by the route that must be followed in
winter months, that is about the dis
tance.
After Nov. S, when the last boat
leaves Nome there are no mail facili-
ties, and the people who live in that
remote municipality find themselves
confronted with the necessity of run
ming their own mail service or doing
without news from the outer world
until boat service is resumed in the
spring. The period of no mail is
about six months, Which-iS quite long
enough to give the isolated miners and
their families a tremendous longing for
news of what is transpiring in the
centers Of civilization.
Just after Jan. l the midWinter
Alaska mail starts from Nome and
north from Seattle. This mail is car
ried by the owner and operator of the
enterprise, who gets no government
subsidy, but collects $40, from every
body who receives or sends letter.
Nothing but letters are carried, and
it is part of the contract that these
must be written on the thinnest of
onion skin paper, for bulls is the chief
consideration and one that must be
guarded against.
When the carrier reaches Cooks In
let the letters he carries. are packed in
tin boxes, made to conform to the
curves of the carriers body and fit

QUESTION OF WHEAT
INSPECTION is
SETTLED
Tri-state Grain Growers Con-
vention Approves the New
System Between North Da-
kota and Wisconsin -
Needs of the Agricultural
College Pointed Out.

FARGO, N. D.. Jan. 22.-The Tri-
State Grain Growers convention had
a warm time today over the proposed
new wheat inspection between North
Dakota and Wisconsin. The matter
came up in the form of a clause in the
report of the resolutions committee.
There were objections to the strong in
dorsement Of the proposed plan, and
Crumpton, of the West Superior Board
of Trade, was called to the platform
to explain the action taken at Bis
marck and outline the inspection plans.
He was followed by G.. S. Barnes,
who owns commission houses in Min
neapolis and Duluth. Barnes favored
the plan, and his remarks We're strong
ly applauded.
The resolutions were all adopted, ex-
cept the grain inspection clause, which
was referred back to the committee.
The committee again reported and
eliminated one or two features, after
which the inspection was indorsed,
though there was considerable opposi-
tion. The resolutions gave the agri-
cultural college a strong Endorsement,
and asked the legislature for a $4,000
annual appropriation for farmers in
stitutes to be held over the state.
The committee on nominations re
ported unanimously in favor of the re-
election of J. A. Johnson, Of Fargo.
president; t. A. Hoverstad, of Crooks
ton, vice president; j. H. Worst, of
Fargo, secretary. The committee on
state fair made a report strongly fa-
voring it's transfer to Fargo from Man.
dan, with a state appropriation of $10,-
coo for buildings and an annual appro-
priation for the fair, when Fargo would
provide a $4,000 site of at least 16O
acres and incorporate the fair associa-
ton.
There We're addresses and papers by
j. H Worst, of Fargo; J. H. Bosard,
of Grand Forks; Congressman NJ.
n. Johnson, of Petersburg; E. E. Kauf-
man and E. Scholander. of Fargo.
Agricultural College Criticised.
The committee appointed to inves-
tigate the conditions at the agricul-
tural college and experiment station re.
ported this afternoon and indorsed the
work being done there and the methods
used, but deplored the poor stock with
which nearly all branches of the de-
partment of animals are supplied. The
trustees were requested to dispose of
most of the stock being used for breed
ing purposes and secure something bet
ter. The lack of class room at the in
stitution for the accommodation Of the
500 students now enrolled was also
criticised and the legislature will be
asked to make more liberal apprOpria
tions. A resolution was adopted re-
questing Gov. White to name trustee
from among actual farmers.

SAID MACHINERY
HAD GONE DAFT
Workingmen Couldn't Ex-
plain the Breaking Of
Five GrindstOnes.

Some time back, in Birmingham, five
six-foot grindstone, each weighing over a
ton, flew to pieces simultaneously, wreck
ing the factory and doing damage outside
to the extent of many thousands Of
pounds.
Never before or since has there been
any similar happening, for although these
huge stones not infrequently explode
when revolved at TOO great a rate of
speed the disasters have always been
single and isolated ones. The men, how
ever, at those particular works have
theory Of their own to account for the
| phenomenon. They say the grindstones
| went daft meaning mad
And, indeed, the idea does not seem so
very far-fetched when the whole Of the
circumstances are taken into considera-
tion. There was absolutely no reason
why all five stones should fly to pieces
at precisely one and the same moment
Of time.
They were not new. They had been
carefully tested only that very day. And
they were being worked at the very mod
crate speed of 168 revolutions minute,
giving a surface speed at the crcum-
ference of a little over 5000 feet The
accident, in fact is quite ineXplicable by
any known rule of mechanics
Many highly educated men who have
worked among machinery all their lives
hold generally that pieces of mechanism
and more especially delicate and high
strung pieces of mechanism are apt to oc-
casionally for no reason that any one
can discover to run amok.
Only the other day in a Pennsylvania
rolling mill huge Aywheel unaccounta-
bly, started revolving with such terrific
rapidity that it eventually flew to pieces,
the fragments being projected in all direc-
tionS like shots from a cannon.
In another case. which happened in the
North of England, the arms of the gov
ernor of an engine, which ordinarily in
their widest circle cleared the fyWheel
by nearly couple of inches, reached
out, as it were, under the stress Of some
sudden emotional impulse, and smashed
every spoke in succession as it came
within reach by a series of terrific blows.
The result was the collapse of the wheel
and damage done to the extent Of more
than G16,000.
1t is when some powerful piece of ma
chinery runs amok in q mill or factory,
the atmosphere of which happens at the
time to. be filed with inflammable dust
particles that the ensuing results are
most disastrous.
A striking instance of this occurred at
Minneapolis in 1878, when, from some un-
explained cause, a piece of main Shafting
on one Of the lower floors Of the huge
Washburn -four mills snapped, allowing a
steel wheel at one end to revolYe with
tremendous rapidity, and at the same time
to drop almost at right angles onto a
stationary wheel of hard stone
The result was a shower of sparks,

The outlook is said to be discourag ging
on account of the scarcity of cargoes and
the high price of fuel and labor. The
carriers seemed unanimous in favor of
making the approaching season short
one. No progress was made In the max
ing Of rates
It was announced today that Henry C.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR SHORTAGE.
Coal Shyness Discussed by Lawyers
Before the Commission.


Before the Commission.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 22.-The
question of who is responsible for the
shortage in the supply of anthracite
coal was the subject of debate today
by the attorneys representing the par
ties before the strike commission. 1t
was testified to that the miners were
not obeying President Mitchelfs re-
quest to make extra efforts to produce
more coal to relieve the situation.
James H. Torrey and Everett Warren,
who represent several of the large
companies, challenged the correctness
of Mitchells statement that 5000 men
were idle and ready to go to work. c.
S. DarroW, for the miners, replied that
he would show that the operators, and
not the men, were responsible for the
shortage. IF l don't" he said, Il will
ask the commission to find against
u.s."
The Lehigh Valley Coal company
closed its case today, and the Lehigh
& Wilkesbarre company consumed a
few hours in presenting it's evidence
This company closed shortly before
adjournment, and the Independent op-
orators of the upper region then took
up the operators side of the contrO-
versy. 1t is expected that the hearing
will last ten more days. The commits
sion informed the attorneys on both
sides, this afternoon, that it would
like them to cOnf1ne their final argu-
mentS to about four or five days The
lawyers will agree among themselves
as to the division of time The miners
want half the time allowed by the
commission.

NO LACK OF MUSIC LOVERS.
chicaeo's Support of Theodore Thomas
Has Been Commercially LIBERAL

Has Been Commercially Liberal.
The modest little statement recently is
sued by the association which has for
eleven years generously ard splendidly
backed and supported the great Chicago
orchestra, of which Theodore Thomas is
the director, is a somewhat impressive
and remarkable document 1t sets forth,
for instance, the striking fact that within
these eleven years the members Of the
association. who are all Chicago men and
women, have made up a total difference
of $4,000 between the income and the
expenses of the orchestra. This great de-
fcit has been cheerfully met by the
wealthy music lovers of Chicago, because
they have been willing to spend the money
in educating and gradually elevating the
musical taste of the middle West.
The existence of an annual deficit in the
finances of the orchestra is no evidence
that chicago people are at all behind
in their appreciation Of orchestral music
of the highest class, for Theodore Thomas
had not only failed to make his orchestra
pay for itself in both Boston and New
York before he came to the West. but he
had failed to find in either city the gen
erous public spirit which has held up his
hands for the past decade. There is
something paradoxical in the fact that
Chicago-only the other day known chief
ly as the capital of filth and Philistia-.
should stand alone among the great cities

dreds of thousands of dollars to maintain
high musical ideals. But almost every
thing about Chicago is a paradox, and
nothing 1t does or is would much excite
surprise
1t is a fine thing in this day to find a
man who bitches his wagon to a star. and
refuses to switch to the trolley for the
sake of the additional fares he could pick
up And it is still finer and much more
remarkable to find in what has been called

may well feel that the long effort and the
great expense have not been in vain

Estate.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22-Judgment by
confession for $296,182 was entered
against the Diamond 10 line steamers,
an Iowa corporation, today by Judge
Grosscup, in the United States circuit
court. This was in suit filed imme-
diately before by Jay Morton, president
of the line.
This corporation is enga ged in trans
porting freight and passengers on the
Mississippi river between St. Louis and
St. Paul. Feb. Is, 1885, the corporation
borrowed $258.138 from Mr. Morton, as
executor of the estate of Mary E. Rey-
nolds, and gave four promissory notes
for payment of the sum. Payments
were not made and the suit was filed.
Attorney L. L. Smith, acting for the

a clash came between the conserva-

mated in a resolution from a local
union favoring an expression of gov
ernment ownership of coal mines and
railroads.
A motion on the part Of the conserv-
atives to table it brought on a long
discussion. The socialistic faction bas-
ed its arguments on the anthracite
strike and the combination of coal
tendency not to treat with the miners
according to the laws of man or God''
made it necessary for the government
to take some such action.
The controversy was ended for the
time by referring the matter back to
the committee.
letter was drafted to "The Amer
lean People" thanking them for their
assistance and sympathy in the recent
anthracite strike.
A Question of Souls.
Delegate Lusk, of West Virginia, in
the discussion on the resolution favor
ing government ownership of coal
mines and railroads, said:
II feel and other miners feel that we
would rather work for the people than
for the soulless corporations. The peo>
pie have souls to be judged and bodies
to be burned, but the corporations have
neither The United Mine Workers or
ganized in 1880 and since that time
they have paid out enough money In
taxes, dues and assessments and in
fighting strikes and lockouts to have
bought every mine in the United States.
In addition to this, we have by the
work Of our hands produced dividends
enough for our masters to have bought
mansion for every miner in the Unit
ed States.''
7. D. Nichols made a motion to table
the resolution, which was defeated.
Five thousand dollars was appropriate
ed for monument to be erected at
Latimer, Pa, to those who were killed
and wounded in the stock riots of 1897.
