CLEAN UP THE BACK YARD.

The average householder need not be
furnished any further evidence than
that of his senses to understand that
the heap of old cans, ashes and refuse
in his back yard constitutes maloaor-
Gus menace to the health Of his house
hold. And this menace is very general
at this time Of the year. The accun1u-
lations Of the winter in the ash heaps
should be removed at once.
The winter has been long and Sc
we're one and the accommodations Of
household refuse are much greater than
they have been in recent years. I'm
slightly and ill-smelling piles litter the
rear of half the houses in St. Paul.
The warm airs of approaching spring
will stimulate these piles into teeming
heaps Of death-dealing bacteria, and
the life giving atmosphere of the
spring tide will presently be burdened
with microbie foes of Humanity.
Now it does not require much effort

GREAT WESTERN MAY
BUY. GREEN BAY ROAD
Line Through Wisconsin Will Probably
Be Added to Maple Leaf System.

While no direct official confirmation OF
the report that the Chicago Great West
ern intends to purchase the Green Bay
& Western could be obtained yesterday, 1t
is understood on good authority that ne
gotiations are pending for the absorp-
tion by the Stickney road of the Wiscon-
sin feeder
1t is understood that President Stick
ney will take a trip of inspection over the
Green Bay road during the coming week,
and that if the condition of the property
is found suitable negotiations for the
transfer of the road will be completed.
The Green Bay road which traverses
the state of Wisconsin and affords an
outlet on the Great Lakes, would be
valuable acquisition for the Great West
ern, the policy of which is avowedly ag
gressive. With the projected extension to
Peoria completed and the wisconsin line
under its control the Great Western would
be much more formidable competitor
than it is at present.
1t is the plan of the company to alb
sorb the stock of the Green Bay road in
the same manner 1t has that of the
small lines it has acquired in Mime
sofa and Iowa, by issuing Great Western
securities in exchange for those of the
purchased property.
The Green Bay e. Western operates in
connection with the Kewaunee, Green
Bay Sc Western, over 286 miles of track
between Green Bay, Wis, and Winona,

or "a very large expenditure to clean
up heap OF refuse, and the wise man
will see to it that his own premises are,
cleaned UP at once. The duty can
not. be -dodged=in any event; If the.
householder does not perform it the
health department VIII do 1t for him,
and the cost win not be decreased
thereby.
It would make an enormous differ
ence in the health of the city if the
back yards and alleys could be rid of
their litter of refuse in one day, but
If everybody makes an earnest effort 1t
can be done in few days. One dere-
lict householder might delay action and
menace the health of the nei ghborhood,
and it is, therefore, every mans duty
to prompt his neighbor by his own ex-
ample.
In the period between the passing of
the snow and the coming Of the grass
it is not easy to make the city beauti-
full, but a great deal can be done in
the matter of making it hea1thful. Be
gin your spring clean in the neglected
back yard, and throttle the bugs that
are responsible for spring disorders.

ROCK ISLAND GETS
INTO GRAIN RATE WAR
Makes Its Tariff on Whea
and Corn Same as Great
Westerns.

The Rock Island has taken a hand in
the grain rate war, and has commenced
py making fiat reduction of its rates
TO equal those of the Chicago Great West
ern. Adyices received in ST. Paul yes
terday were to the effect that the Rock
Island has filed a tariff, making rates
from Omaha and Council Bluffs to Chi
eago and Peoria 4 cents on wheat and
cents on corn, to be applicable on ship
meflts coming from beyond those points.
The new tariff is effective March 81.
The news of the Rock Islands action
was received with delight among Great
Western traffic officials, who regard this
new factor in the rate war as an ally
rather than as another adversary. 1t was
also taken to indicate the significance of.
the Great Westerns fight, which it has
been maintaining against the North
Western.
AS no overtures have been made for
the purpose Of effecting a settlement of
the rate war the situation has been I'M
changed during the past two weeks The
action of the Rock Island, it is thought,
will strengthen the position of the Great
Western and traffic officials have express
ed the opinion that the Great Western
has good chance of winning out
The Great Western will not back
down. said an official of that road yes
terday, and it is prepared to fight as
long as the North Western cares to car
effect of ultimately reducing grain rates
from Omaha, which prior to the advent
of the Great Western to that city We're a
holdup.''

RECORD-BREAKING
YEAR is EXPECTED
Max Bass, of Great Northern, Looks for
Big Westward Movement.

The west bound immigrant movement
through st. Paul was again heavy yester-
day as a result of the low settlers rates.
Tickets sold Tuesday at points in the
Central states brought a large number OF
colonists into st. Paul yesterday and
more are expected today.
The Great Northern had the largest
number out of ST. Paul yesterday and was
obliged to attach three extra coaches to
its train which left in the afternoon.
= Max Bass, general immigration agent Of
the Great Northern, who came to ST.
Paul yesterday with a large party from
Chicago. said that the movement of set
tiers this year which commenced this
month will be the heaviest of any year
in the history of the Northwest.
1.-THE advertising system which the
Great Northern has established in the
Central states is beginning to bear
fruit. Farmers who have listened to our
stereopticon lectures this winter and last
are beginning to make up their minds.
and are selling out and moving to the
Northwest. The early movement so far
has been to Washington, but Montana,
North Dakota and Minnesota will draw
thousands during the coming months"
Advices from New York indicate that
large number of immigrants are arriving,
bound for Western points Nearly 5000
immigrants from Europe landed Monday.

DECISIVE FIGHTING is IMMINENT.

1t is very clear that preparations are
northern frontier Of Korea. The Jap
aneSe have concentrated, practically in
one mass, not less than 100000 men in
Northern Korea. The fact is clearly in
Dictated in the Herald and Glob dis
patches. The massing of the troops
has been carried on under difficulties
that are hardly to be appreciated in
this country where roads are gener-
ally highways. The men have been
moved at a rate not to exceed fifteen
miles a day, the transport being fur
nished by Koreans. The equipment is
necessarily light and 1t is rather re-
markable that not more than eight per
cent of the force has been put on the
sick list by the rigors of the march.
Advices from the front say the army
is in excellent spirits, and this is prob
a fanatical spirit in this war that
prompts them to attempt great things
in spite of natural conditions and the
fatigue of march that is not easily
to be appreciated at this distance.
We are not so well Informed as to
the disposition of the Russian troops,
but it appears certain that there is a
great body of men in close proximity
to this japanese army. The move.
ment has been steady in the one direo-
ton and it is probable that we shall
hear news of serious fghting-perhaps
decisive so far as this territory is con-
cerned-as soon as the troops can be
disposed according to the aims of the
commanders.
On the Liaetung peninsula matters
are coming to a head. That the Jap,
anese have been acting with a view to
cutting off Port Arthur and the con-
tiguous territory is very certain. We
cannot be certain of what has been ac-
complished in the carrying out of this
purpose, but the repeated feints in the
form of commandments would indicate
that land movements have been car
ried on at the same time. That they
have plenty of men now on the PENN
sula to make a demonstration In
strength appears to be certain.
The time is ripe, therefore, for hard
blows If the Russian transport has
been at all equal to that of the laps

Mr.. wRlGHT's CAMPAIGN.

Of course it is none of our business
particularly, but Mr.. F. p. Wright
seems to have a remarkable conception
of politics. His announcement of the
cratic jobbery shows the Republican
candidate to be either woefully lacking
in knowledge of the thievish doings
of some of the members of his party,
or indecently prone to indulge in IL
cense when stating what are supposed
to be facts.
There is probably not a man in ST.
Paul, except Mr.. Wright, who is not
aware of the fact that the county Jail
was built by county board consisting
of Republicans, with the single excep-
ton of Mayor Smith, sitting ex offieio.
The mayor, as everybody knows, did
what he could to prevent the building
of the Jail under the existing condi-
lions. He took advantage of every
opportunity to prevent the jobbery
which Mr.. Wright says was so patent.
We all know that Mr.. Wright is a
business man and that he proposes to
give the city another business admin
istration. The city has recovered to a
great extent from the last business ad-
ministration he gave it, but it has not
forgotten. But even a business man,
superior to all such trif1es as politics
and municipal government, ought to
keep himself informed as to what his
party has accomplished.
Mr.. Wright's mentors should fix his
memory or gag him. Not that the
Democrats mind in the least what he
talks about, but man who is capable
of saying that the new county Jail
was a Democratic job is quite capable
of saying something that will put his
fellow Republicans to sleep finally.
