Land of Bad snowdrlfts.

The worst snowdrifts experienced
by any railroad are said to be those
in Sweden. Although the cold is not
SC intense as in some of our western
states. the snowfall is heavy and con
tin uous. The snow plows of various
kluds which are used on these roads
are said to be the most powerful IN
the world. There are times, however
when even this machinery fails 70
clear the way, when hundreds OF men
must be employed to ding out tne
stalled trains.

OLD IDEA IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
Use OF coIors Was First Suggested
in the Fifties.

Use OF Colors Was First Suggested
in the Ffties.
IN the early Sos Poiteyin, a we'll
known Photographic experimentalist,
patented a process by which photo
graphic image could be printed in a
pigment mixed with ill.
1t seems to have been entirely neg
lected by the photographers of that
time, and has long been forgotten.
But it has, quite recently, been redis.
covered, and the method has been
seized upon by advanced amateurs as
enc peculiarly fitted to give them
that control over the light and shade
of the print which they conside in,
dispensable
The process is briefly this: Good
stiff cartridge paper is coated with
gelatine, dried and subsequently SEN
sitized in a 21z per cent bath of po-
tassia bichromate. Once more dried,
it is exposed to light beneath a mega
tive in the ordinary manner.
Soaked in water, those portions of
the picture which have received most
light have become insolubIe and do
not retain moisture, while the
lights" swell up and absorb much
water. It is proyesbial that oil and
water will not mix, and when roller
charged with oil color is applied to
the print only the insoluble shadows
will have anything to do with the
color; they receive it, while the lights
of the picture repeI it.
The process is an interesting one,
and, although Of such ancient date,
may be regarded as still in an expert
mental stage.-Chambers Journal.

pust Your Eollane plants.

All plants which are grown for their
foliage effect and which are, therefore,
to be kept for any considerable time
in the home, must receive attention
at the tops as well as at the roots.
In the cleanest of houses dust will &C
cumulate, and this, settling upon the
leaves, blocks up the breathing pores
of the plant. The only remedy is re-
moval of the dust, to which end a
sponging of clean water, say at least
once a week, should be given.

Harry Ralford Cubitt formerly Har-

life is the plaintiff in an interesting
lawsuit filed this morning in the SUI
preme court. Mr.. Cubitt-R ichardson-
Ballard is trying to get possession Of
some valuable property in Kingman
titled by virtue of being the adopted
son of George Cubitt.
The young man is only "a years old,
but he has been having merry time
since he came into this world. In 1886,
at the age of years, he was adopted
by Geo. Cubitt. About 1894. the evil
dence in the case shows that he was
accused Of committing a felony and left
the state This made his adopted faith
er angry and he refused to have any
thing more to do with him.
Young Cubitt enlisted in the United
States navy under the name of Ballard.
He was with the Maine and also served
during the Spanish-American war. He
is now in Manila with the battleship
Monadnock
Meantime his mother, Mrs. Jennie
Richardson. married again and is now
Mrs. Jackson.

Then the prodigal son showed up
through his attorneys and wanted a
slice. The lower court held that there
was a defect in the original adoption
papers and refused to allow his claim.
He asks the supreme court to reverse
the case.

ENGINEERS ARE HERE.
Santa Fe Committee Is Having Talk
With Hurley.

Myer Hurley and fourteen other en-
gineers comprising the grievance COM
mittee of the members of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. who
are employed on the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe system proper, began their
annual conference today with James
e. Hurley, the general manager of the
road.
This grievance committee has been
in session here for the past week con-
sidering the various differences which
have cropped up during the year be-
tween the engineers and the company
and Myer Hurley, the chairman of the
committee, is authority for the state
ment that none of the grievances con-
sidered and which were to be taken
up with General Manager Hurley to-
day were of any general Importance.
There have been some reports
around to the effect that the engineers
We're going to ask the company for a
Reconsideration of the engines in the
service. Under present conditions,
and these have prevailed for years, the
engines are divided into classes and
the engineers are paid different wages
according to the class of engines they
handle. Some engineers, it is under
stood, have made the claim that their
engines should be placed in classes
that would entitle them to an in
crease in pay.
Myer Hurley said that the question
of recIassification of the engines would
not be taken up with General Manager
Hurley as the present classification
was satisfactory and he said that he
could not understand how any report
had originated that a Redistribution
was to be asked for.
All of the engineers were as mum as
Chairman Hurley as to the nature of
the grievances which were to be taken
up with General Manager Hurley, and
those talked with declared that all of
them were of a minor character.
The grievance committee of the en-
gineers last year, among other things,
asked that they be relieved from the
duty of filing the oil cups on engines
and this request was denied them. It
is probable that they will make a sim
liar request at the conference today.
It is possible that the conference will
be concluded today but it may run
over into tomorrow.

TO GET over HALF
Sam Radges Makes Guess for
First National DepOsitOrs.
Will Be Paid Dividend of 55
Per Cent by Dec. Is.
HE EXPLAINS HOW.
Says That All Insurance VIII
Be Paid Soon.
This Will Give Receiver Half
Banks Liabilities.

II think that the First National
bank viii probably pay out a dividend
of SIS per cent. by December 49, said
Sam Radges, chairman of the de-
positors' committee today.
How do you figure out such a
statement" he was asked.
''Well'' he replied, IT think that all
of the Devlin life insurance viii be
paid in to Receiver Bradley's hands by
the first Of next month. This will
without doubt be the case, for the
companies are signifying an intention
to meet their obligations at once. The
creditors committee has pretty good
assurances that this money, or the ma
jor bulk of it. will be paid up in ten
days That will put a total of avail
able cash into the hands of Receiver
Bradley of about $850,00O. The obli-
cations or liabilities of the bank are
about $1,500.000. So sum slightly in
excess of one-half or about 55 per
cent, viii be ready to be paid to the
creditors. Mr.. Bradley will make his
report to the comptroller of the cur
reney then at once, who will order
him to make out the checks, pro rata,
for all the depositors. These checks
viii have to be sent to the comptroller
of the currency to be signed. The
law requires specifically that the
comptroIer's name must be attached
to each dividend check of an institu-
ton which has failed. The checks will
then be returned to Topeka and dis
tributed as quickly as possible.
Il figure that it will still take about
ten days to get in all of the insurance
money. At least fifteen days will be
consumed in the report which the re-
ceiver will have to make to the comp
trolleF, the making and signing of the
checks and their distribution. Decem-
Der Is or IT viii probably give US a
dividend We will get some Christmas
money all right
Though Mr.. Radges did not say that
he had received official notice that his
representation is accurate, it can be
pretty well so considered, due to the
fact that the depositors' committee. of
which he is chairman, has a special
committee of five, vested with full
power by the comptroller of the cur
rency, to confer with Receiver Brad
ley and receive any information de-
sired concerning the bank. It is prac-
tically certain that all of the depositors
will have at least SO per cent. of their
money in less time than a month, and
at least in time so that it may be reck-
Oned as a Christmas present.
