Edward J. Pearson, chief engineer OF
the Northern Pacific road. has accepted
the position of chief engineer of the Pa
cifc Railway company, which will
build the extension Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul road to the

on the Northern Pacific by w. L. Darl-
ing, formerly chief engineer of the
Northern Pacific road and who resigned
a few days ago as chief engineer of the
Pacific Railway company. Mr.. Pearson
was formerly superintendent of this
division OF the N. P. ard it was he who

A new departure has been made in
the Methodist Episcopal Sunday school
in regard to distributing the literature.
A post office has beer installed and the
assistant secretary acts as post master.
Each pupil and teacher has a private
box with the owners name on it. The
postmaster has all the literature placed
in the boxes before the close of the
session and after dismissal the classes
file past the post office and the older
ones may take their own mail while the
little tots are assisted by the post
master. The object of this plan is two.
fold: The pupils who may be absent
one or more Sundays secure all their
papers when again present so that the
connection in serial stories is not broken;
the other object-and we think just as
as the one named-is obviat-
ing the folding and manipulating Of
papers during the closing exercises,
which otherwise is almost impossible,
and distracts attention. The pastor
made the post Office and will be glad to
give information to all desiring the
same.
