HOSTING ROPES.
The Threads of Wire Upon which
So Many Lives Daily Depend

While the longest ropes are used for
hauling purposes, some of the most in
teresting data in connection with wire
ropes are obtained with their use for
hoisting purposes. Hundreds of thou
sands of lives are literally each day
hung by small wire thread as the
men are lowered into and hoistCd from
the bowels of the earth, and i'm many
cases the only means of communication
between the surface and the under
ground workings, which are from
few feet to mile in depth, is by n
comparatively small hosting rope.
Think of hanging from the end of Il ca
bic only few inches i'm diameter and
mile long, being hoiStcd Mt Il rate
which is faster than that of the aver
age railroad train. and some idea of the
hosting problem can be gained. To
the honor of the wire rope manufactur-
ers it must be said tliat very few shaft
accidents are due to the breaking OF
the rope, excepting where the cage il
overwound and unwarrantCd demands
are made upon the rope or which are
traccublc To false economy on the part
of the users of wire rope. No part OF
mining plant is more carefully in
spectcd and watched than the huisting
rope, and very few mine managers will
take any unnecessary risks in the
hoiSting of men. The Skill of the wire
rope maker is taxed To the utmost 10

depths TO make Il rope OF practicable
Size that will be sufficiently flexible
and that will lSar even its own weight
is no mean problem, for in such cases
the weight of the rope Is often niue.

we have taper rope intended TO give Il

With the recent change in the
Southern's schedule. it would have
added much to the service b tween
Columbia ana Augusta, if train had
been put on to run in an opposite di-
rection to Nos & s. As it is now.
passengers are compelled to ride on a
combination freight and passenger.
which stops at nearly all the stations
to shift cars and do regular freight
work, thus killing an hour or more reg
ularly and sometimes two or three be
tween the two cities. When Nos. 7&
8 were first put on they did not pay
expenses, but now they pay better
than any trains between Columbia and
Augusta. if this change were made,
1T would not only take some of the
work off of the local freights but could
be arrarged to give Edgelield Sched-
ule that she so badly needs. by ar
ranging the above schedule it, would
do away with Nos. 129 81 40 as far as
the passenger service is concerned.
thus cutting down expenses. 1t is
hoped that the officials will look into
this matter and give it their careful
consideration.

Will Act as Justice.

| Ira E. w. Briggs of Zimmerman
who was in attendance at court this
week says that was elected justice of
the peace last month for the town of
Livonia, but that after he furnished
his bond to the town board he was in
formed that it was doubtful if he could
qualify as some were of the opinion
that his family had not been in the
State six months, which would debar
Mr.. Briggs from filling the Office to
which he was elected. He had moved
with his horses and machinery, etc.,
to the farm which he bought near
Zimmerman quite a while before his
family moved up and had settled on
the farm with the intention of making
the place his home. He was served
with a notice to appear before the
board at it's meeting on the seventh of
this month and make things clear to
the town fathers which he says he will
do. While here he stated his case to
Judge Searle who informed him that
he certainly was a full-fedged citizen
of the State, the county and the town
ship and that he could act as justice
in the full full legal: possession Of his
rights. ID. r. , ....,7

lost her gold watch while returning

watch and late in the day discovered
who the owner was and promptly re-
turned the time piece. Mrs. Ewing's IS
initials before she was married were
hard a long time to make out who the
owner might be, when the happy
thought struck her that the watch be-
longed to Mrs. Ewing.

j. V. Peterson Of Minneapolis has
bought the Jens Olson farm of forty
acres in the town of Greenbush, the
price paid being l,25O. Mr.. Peterson
owns eighty acres adjoining the Olson
farm and he now has good farm.
He will move his family up soon and
place them on the farm. He is letter
carrier in Minneapolis and has been
doing the postman act for several
years. It is his intention to quit the
service after a while and go to farm
ing. Mr.. Olson has bought eighty
acres near Becker in Sherburne county
for which he paid $500. He will move
there in very short time.
W. G. Prouty who owns thousand
acre ranch near Onamia. lost over
fifty head of cattle the past winter
from disease that the State veterin-

about. The cattle would become sick
suddenly and die in a very short time.
He has very few head left and is al
most discouraged. Several sheep and
hogs on the ranch are said to have
died from the disease which is conta-
gious. The disease must be on the
nature OF blackleg as reports say that
Broadhead Bros. near Sauk Rapids
