Chicks do not require food for the

of the best foods that can be fed the

moistened with milk. This should be
crumbled fine and placed where the
chicks have free access to it, so they

will be trampled upon, and soon becomes

ness In Clothing, Fuel and
Other Products

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S review of trade will say: Mild
weather early in the week checked the
distribution of seasonable goods, but
had a permanent value in facilitating
the harvesting of cotton and late grain.
Subsequently the temperature fell, re-
storing retail trade in wearing apparel,
fuel and similar products to greater
activity than a year ago. Building op-
erations are active, strengthening the
markets for lumber materials. Man
ufacturing plants are making steady
gains. Labor is unusually well en-
ployed, judging by the official COM
pilations of the unions. Railway
freight blockades cause some complaint,
which is remarkable in view of the re-
stricted grain movement, and earnings
in the three weeks of October were 81
per cent larger than in 1903. Foreign
commerce at this port for the last week
exceeded the same period a year ago

''The Milwaukee has some mighty

'I have just heard of one who will
undoubtedly capture the leather medal
donated by the road for tough bus
drivers. His name is Harry Sherman
and he works at Yankton.
'"The street leading up from the de-
pot is quite rough and Sherman was
accustomed to drive oyer the bumpy
spots without strapping his legs to the
seat, as is the custom in Dakota.
Saturday he had quite a load OF
passengers on the bus and whipped ur
as usual to hurry to the hotel and
went over the bumps at a gallop.
"The first hummock bounced him
from the seat and the second landed
him on the ground just abaft the heels
of his team. The wheels of the bus
passed over him and the witnesses OF
the accident thought he was surely ia
tally hurt.
They ran forward to pick up the re-

and chased after his bus which was

GREAT NORTHERN
Tunnel FINISHED
Big Bore Under City of Seattle
Is Put Through Under
Difficulties

The bore of the Great Northern tun-
mel under the city of Seattle has been
completed and work on the great un-
dertaking will be pushed from now on.
The digging was done by two parties
simultaneously working from opposite
directions. and they met just as the
engineers had arranged. The final 800
feet of the digging was done in a ce-
ment gravel formation which proved
expensive and very difficult.
The tunnel is said to be the largest
and most pretentious piece of work of
it's kind in the West. The final week
before the men met the work progress
ed only about twelve feet day on ac-
count of the character of the rock.
The Great Northern will use the bore
to reach the terminals in Seattle. The
Northern Pacific reaches the same
place on the surface lines of the road.

who was riding with him as his son
was under the age of twelve. The
father had,declared to the ticket punch
er that the boy was eleven his last
birthday" but as the conductor noticed
signs of beard on the boys" chin he
would not accept the statement.
There was a. fearful argument and
considerable profanity, and finally the
man called into requisition a woman
who posed as the boys mother.
She backed up the story with a
wealth of detail and local color and
almost had the conductor converted to
their view of the case.

ASKS COMMISSION TO
SUGGEST LADING BILL
Shippers Association Appeals for Sat-
isfactory Form of Document


CHICAGO, Oct. 2S. - The executive
committee of the American Shippers
association at a meeting here today
decided to appeal to the interstate
commerce commission to investigate
the proposed uniform bill of lading
which is planned by the railroad COM
panies, and if possible to take action
to prevent the adoption of the pro-
posed plan.
The American Shippers association
asserts that the proposed uniform bill
of lading is inimical to the shipper
and would destroy the value of bills
of lading as collateral security. By
the proposed new bill of lading, the
railroads, the shippers declare, seek to
waive liability, and the interstate
commerce commission will be asked if
it is within it's power to recommend a
bill of lading which in form will be
satisfactory to the shippers of the
country.
