THEY MIKE SNOW IMAGES
Much Skill Shopn By Residents of
Andreasberg. Germanu.

In the little town of Andreasberg, In the
Farz Mountains. of Germany, making
images has been reduced to a science under the
stimulus of an annual snow festival, in which
the residents Of the town compete for prizes.
Those New-York boys who, rolling three balls
of snow of different sizes into shape pile one
atop of another and gouging holes in the upper
. most, have styled them eyes and mouth and the
whole "a snow man" should pay a visit to An
hreasberg The men there are to the
know men of American youth as the works of
the master sculptor are to the efforts of the
neophyte. There a snow man is a man indeed
Nor is the skill OF the townspeOple confined to
the snow man. Feminine figures, groups ami
mails mechanical devices and many others as
difficult of execution worked out in snow
The festival. organized in 1895 has come to be
an affair Of considerable interest in that part of
Germany and during the time it is in progress
the little village is thronged with guests. One
year four thousand persons enjoyed the sport
The task Of the judges is by no means an easy
Sne In back yards front yards and in the
streets before the houses the models have been
Bet up. That worker in the snow is wisest who
Eaits until the last moment and then works
4WitIy and skilfully, for the sun is no more
mercltul TO snow in that country than in this
many good sculptors work has been reduced
10 shapeless mass before the judges got
around just because the sun would not hide its
face.
\ IaVorlte custom among the snow sculptors
Is TO reproduce scene from some well known
fairy tale. Thus at one of the festivals of the
Fled Piper Of Hamelin was pictured a group of
snow children dancing merrily to the imaginary
music from his snow pipe. Little Red Riding
Hood, in a hood as white as snow, confronted a
huge white wolf. The Babes in the Wood faced
a wicked old witch who later got her inst
deserts beneath the rays of the SUM- Love and
the Lion was another snow piece, in which love
looked rather cold, but either the weather or
the sight of her literally caused the lions mouth
to water

parts OF the real machine were reproduced In

to 81 out Of every 800 used to run the city must
be accounted for by higher taxes. Higher taxes
mean higher rents and higher prices for food
and clothing.
To realize what waste OF wealth Is caused
by snowstorms one should consider what might
be done with the city's SNOW money" II 1t could
be saved or invested 1t Is estimated that the
S0.OOOOOO spent on snow In the last twenty
years If put out at per cent interest would
amount to S5.OO0OOO.OOO at the end Of two hun
dred years This would be enough to run i've
governments each as large and powerful as the
present United States. Were this S5.OO0OO0O00
invested at the same rate OF interest it would
bring in revenue which would pay the x-
penses of two cities like New-Yorz Of to-day.
These computations do not include the cost Of
the storms of the future, which. according to the
constant increase in the expenses Of the Street
Cleaning Department, viii amount to vaEy
more than now This Will be seen by glance
at the following table. which gives the city snow
bills for every year since 1885:

man who brings tidings to the homesteaders

STANDARD OIL OFFERS BARGAIN
Wants Gravity Test Reduced in South
Dakota,

Wallis StdVie Soe tNSAoSSS
Dakota.
The people of the state are taking
great interest in the effort now being
made by the Standard Oil company to
secure an outlet for it's Kansas oil in
South Dakota. AS an inducement for
the state to lowed it's oil test from a
gravity of 46 to AZ, the company offers
| to sell the Kansas oil in South Dakota
for 3 cents a gallon less than it's pres
emit price.
Prof. James II. Shepard, state chem
| list who is connected with the South
| Dakota agricultural college, estimates
| that if this offer of the Standard Oil
company is accepted it will near a
saving of fully 100000 a year to the
people of South Dakota.
The Standard Oil representatives de-
| clare that the Kansas OIL is just as
| good as the Eastern product, and that
owing to the field being closer to South
| Dakota the Oil can be sold here at a
reduction of 3 cents a gallon, provided
the state test is lowered.
State Oil Inspector Brauch has
steadily maintained that the Kansas
oil does not come up to the South Da-
kota test and therefore he has refused
to sanction it's admission to the state.
State Chemist Shepard returned a
few days ago from Kansas, where he
went for the purpose of examining and
making tests of the oil product of that
|. state. He has made a report to the
effect that to secure the Kansas oil it
will be necessary for South Dakota to
lower it's gravity test from 46 TO AZ.
Before the present session Of the
state legislature adiourns an effort
will be made to amend the present oil
inspection law so that Kansas oil may
be admitted. There isaittle doubt that
the measure will meet with stiff oppo-
silion. 1t is argued that to lower the
test would make South Dakota q dump
ing ground for oil which cannot be
sold elsewhere in the United States.

governors signature. The bill is the
result Of the agreement of the various
city officials of the state, and provides
an entire new city code. Both houses
are busy clearing up their calendars
for the rush of the last few days. The
house killed two appropriation bills.
one to appropriate $4,000 for a school
of forestry at B%ottineau, and the 9th
er a $4,000 appropriation for a bridge
in Ward county.
The appropriations still exceed the
revenues by many thousands OF dol
lars and the governor probably will
do some vigorous pruning when they
reach him.
The features of the session OF the
house Tuesday afternoon was the pas
sage of the amended state fair bill by
a vote of 70 to IS. This bill removes
the state fair from Mandan and places
it in alternate years at Fargo ant
Grand Forks. The bill as it cam
from the senate provided for a state
fair at Grand Forks. Whether thu
amended bill will be concurred in b,
the senate is a question that is arous
ing considerable interest.
With the closing days of the session
the house is developing a homicida
tendency toward bills. The amende'
