Agent Fred. Starr of Tracy has
accepted the New Ulm railroad sta
ton, the best position of its kind on
the Northwestern system west of
Winona. The Watertown agent re-
ceives as large salary but the
responsibility is not as great as at
New Ulm, where the agent has to
do with extensive milling interests.
He succeeds HI. l.: Beecher, who
resigns to take a better place.
One of the most distressing fea-
lures OF running a newspaper is the
fact that some people think because
they only owe the editor $3.50 that
isn't much and he can wait. This
week we sent out collector with
over $500 worth of subscription bills
right IN Sleepy Eye and would you
believe it he got about SIS. He got
all this after spending two whole
days work. This is getting serious.

The railroad construction firm of
Mcintosh Bros. of Milwaukee, is
reported to have been given the
contract by the Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul railroad for the construc-
ton of 800 miles of that company's
Pacific coast extension from Evarts,
S. d. The contract for the rails has
been awarded to the United States
Steel corporation. The company has
completed seventy-five miles of grad
ing on the extension from Chamber
lain to Rapid City, distance of 215
miles, and 40 miles of this line are in
operation. It is the expectation to
complete this extension by Nov. /,
1906.
Tracy lost its suit in the district
court in the action brought by the
Kents for the drowning Of their
little boy in a private water hole at
the Greenman premises last March.
The jury brought in a verdict for
81 300 damages. The city says that
it will ask for a new trial on the
grounds that the only witness for
the plaintiff that furnished damag-
ing testimony is not reliable. The
city was not in the least to blame
for the drowning Of the Kent child,
no more than it would have been
had the child been drowned in mid
ocean, and this is we'll known by all
who have looked into the case.
Granite Tribune: Some of the
engines wear snow plows and look
peculiar, for it has been some years
since snow has interferred here
abouts with trains. The days of
snow bucking have passed, for the
rotary walks through snow-flled cuts
as if it was running on schedule
time and hoists the snow up both
sides. Snow winters are of the past,
but few of us can remember when
they were terrors. That of 81, for
instance, was the limit, when men
shoveled for weeks to get train
through. Monte and Granite joined
hands and worked for common
purpose that winter THAT of getting
train load of supplies through.
By 10! Billy Mailer is to get a
dose of it at last. Messrs. Lowry
and Stentz, the evangelists, who re-
formed Billy Owens, Jim Larson and
L. Garlock at Walnut Grove, and
Hans Mo, w. R. Hodges, G. w.
Somerville and Editor Whitmore at
Sleepy Eye, have landed fiat-footed
in Billy's new home and they are
sending up the religious pyrotechnics
in manner that is calculated to
give Billy and his crowd of Spring
field Injuns the fever and land them
safe inside the steel rails of the
church. If one will only read the
first epistle of Rev. Frank B. Cow
gill, published in our Christmas
edition, and then look over the great
spread of religious awakening, we
must become impressed with the
fact that the minister is telling the
story truthfully and that God is
