The Drainage Meeting.

The most important meeting
in the history of the drainage
movement will be held in Crooks
ton tomorrow. There is every
indication that it will be largely
attended and that the men who
will be present will be among the
ablest and most influential in
Minnesota. What this meeting
shall accomplish for drainage
cannot be now said, but it should
result in opening the eyes of the
people Of the whole state to the
fact that the policy of drainage
is not policy benetitting a sec
ton Of the state but one that will
bring rich returns to every.
county and township and school
district from one end of the state
to the other. It is doubtless the
northern counties of the state
which will be the most largely
represented at this meeting, as
it is the northern third of the
state which must have drainage
if it is to grow, but it is the
southern two thirds of the state
which will reap the largest bene.
fit in dollars and cents at the
present time to say nothing Of
to the whole state from the de-
velopment andlsettlement of this
great and rich area in the north.

lslured In Runway.

Last Saturday afternoon George
Reading, of Wellinfon, met with
quite serious accidot in the shape
of a runaway. He nd hitched his
buggy team up to hay rake and
the animals became frightened by
the pole dropping on of the neck
yoke, and ran away. Reading was
thrown from the rae and in the
mix-up had his leg bDken between
the knee and ankle. he rake was
broken up considerably and the
horses somewhat scrtched up. A
physician was summoned from
Gardnerville and atteried to the in
jured man and he is nov doing quite
well, but will be coifined to the

DOUGLAS MINE A GOOD ONE.

During the past three months in
the neighborhood of 1900 tons of cop
per ore have been shipped from the
Douglas mine to the United States
Smelling Co., of Utah, and none of
this ore has run below fourteen per
cent. in copper, and from that up as
high as twenty per cent. The
smelter people pronounce it the best
ore for their purpose that has ever
been received by them and are anx-
ious to secure all that can be mined.
At the present time there is a great
quantity of ore in sight of this
character and there is no indication
of it giving out. In obtaining the
ore of this percentage, it is assorted,
and this is leaving on the dump a
great quantity of ore which runs
from four to ten per cent. in copper,
which will be a good starter for
some company that will purchase
the property and construct reduc-
ton works on the ground. 1t Is
more than likely that lower grade
of ore will be encountered as depth
is obtained, but the indications are
that the bodies are large and will
pay for the expenditure of much
money in the construction OF large
plant. Arrangements are now be-
ing made for sinking, and the mine
is being thoroughly developed as
the high-grade ore is being taken
out.
What this section needs is a
branch railroad up through the val
vey to facilitate transportation and
reduce the price OF same; then will
Mason Valley show to the world
some copper producers that cannot
be beaten.

Mining Visitors

Messrs. H. S. Pohe and Geo. F..
Thompson, mining men, the former
from Philadelphia and the latter
from Salt Lake were here this week
looking over the mining situation.
Among other prospects examined,
and one they think much of, is the
Davidson and Lockwood property in
the old Crabb District, some miles
south of Yerington, and there is a
possibility of their purchasing this
property or taking bond on it.

The Railway
~ Mail Service.

Paper Read Before the Chautauq1a Circle.
UT LITTLE more than fifty
- years ago there was inaugurated
on the old Geneva Air Line
of what is now the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway, an innovation
in the handling and distributing of
mails in transit that was, thirty or
forty years later, to amaze the world,
not only as to the amount of work
done on fast trains, but also the accu-
racy and speed with which it was
accomplished. Out of the fertile brains
of George w. Bangs and George B.
Armstrong, was born the idea that it
was possible to build and equip car
in which man could work mail and
distribute it from the car en- route in
stead of az was then done, collecting it
at important centers and working it in
the postofices; they in turn dispatch
ing what are now known as closed
pouches, which were put off by the
train baggageman.
From this modest beginning has
evolved our splendid service of today
embracing more than twelve thousand
railway postal clerks, to say nothing OF
the 71,131 postmasters. besides the

Chicago in single day, than in Berlin


or Vienna in q whole month.
On the evening of Christmas Day the
whole family generally 60 to the
grandparents, or to the home of some
other near relative, where the scenes of
the night before are re-enacted with
unabated vigor. But that by no means
ends the German Christmas. So far
the festival has been of a strictly
family character. The next day, the
second Christmas day as it is called,
assumes the character of social nat
ional holiday. Then sleighing parties,
games and other seasonable pastimes
are indulged in during the day, and
the evening is devoted to opera,
theatres, balls and other amusing func-
tions. Then all clubs and societies
have their grandest "ladies' evening"
ofthe year, and theatrical performances,
music and singing amuse the joyous
crowd until, after grand supper, the
younger folks indulge in dancing,
while the older folks converse, or play
chess, whist or skat. There are many
people who do not have enough of two
Christmas days, and these improvise
still another repetition. In many
parts of France the Christmas cele-
bration lasts whole week.
Christmas is the festival par excel
lence for the German children. Most
parents derive the principal joy of the
occasion from the happiness they see
depicted on the faces of their little
ones. For the smaller children the
festival is surrounded by kind OF
halo, which sanctifies it in their minds
but which gradually loses its intensity
when the children become oldet! Az
on this day we celebrate the anal.
versary of Christ's birth, it is perhaps
best to teach the children that the
presents, like all other blessings, are q
gift of the Savior. That seems to be
more timely and appropriate than te
make them believe that st. Nicholas
or Knecht Rupert brings them ths
presents; or that Santa Claus comes
through the chimney and fills stocking'
with good things.
Somehow or other, the opinion pre-
walls in this country that the German'
are not very religious people. Moth
ing is more erroneous than that
Piety is deeply impressed in the hear
of the average German, tho he is rathe
adverse to making an ostentatiou
show of his religious feelings and O.
his devotions. Different countries
different manners. Besides, it woul'
be a mistake to judge the German
people entirely by their immigrants, TO
it is but in very small part the bette
element which emigrates.

Christmas to all our readers-withou
any exceptions. Please accept kind!
