At This Time CT Year, However, Not
Much Damage Would Be
Caused.

Had IL not been for the rather high
wind last night, which Lew layer upon

been a light frost this morning.
Out in Washington county there are
many little tracts of lowlands, and this
morning at sunrise the temperature was
far down, not a few residents built
fires in their dining rooms to dispeE the
chilly atmosphere.
At the Weather Bureau II was stated
this morning that there was frost in
several places in the mountains of West
Virginia and Maryland. The thermome-
ter in Washington registered 50 degrees
at daylight. and out In some OF the low
spots in the suburbs II was a few de-
grees lower.
Frost surely would have appeared this
morning IL the fall in temperature had
occurred before midnight, instead OF
afterward. as was the case. At mid
night the mercury stood at 90 degrees.
There was drop, therefore. of 10 de-
grees in three or four hours
Although q frost at this time would
be little early. 1t would not do much
damage. Most OF the farm products
around here have already been harvest
ed and those which remain would not
be seriously injured by visit from Jack
Frost.
1t is probable that tomorrow morning
will see light frost unless the temper

to the bakers convention, tore open
the iron grating. made one step forward
and plunged down TO the bottom
He landed on his left side and In ad-
dition TO having his arm fractured near
the elbow, he was also painfully bruised
about the body. That he escaped death
is regarded as little short OF q miracle
Wagner attended the convention on
Tuesday and on that evening he went
out with several OF the other visiting
dough kneaders About 2:30 o'clock yes
terday morning the party left the care
where they had spent the evening. and
shortly after o'clock Wagner reached

The elevator was not running so he
walked to the third noor- His room
number was sixty-five. which was
near the elevator. Wagner stopped in
front of the elevator door. Drawing out
his key he tried many times TO unlock
the door but his efforts were futile.
Finally he grew impatient. and with his
strong right arm he pulled the latch
on the door loose and showed the door
open.
He then stepped inside what he be-
lieved to be his room. and was feeling
in his pocket for a match with which

himself going down. When he came TO
he found himself lying on the top

the top was even with the first floor.
Wagner was lifted off the car bv the

was found that his left arm was broker.
and he also held his right hand over his
left side. A carriage was summoned.
and in 1t Wagner was taken to the

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1905-09-15

SOME of the papers in the south
ern part of the state can see moth :
ing good in anything that eminates
in the north and are raising a
heavy howl against what they call
the drainage graft" seeming to
believe that the money set apart
by the state for drainage purposes
will eventually be used to further
some ones political schemes The
extreme sou them portion of the
state editor is somewhat narrow
and cannot see further than his
own particular nose. This state is
too large to be hampered with any
of these cheap opinions and state
officials will do well to act as if
these editors never existed. If
drainage is to reclaim vast guam
titles of this prolific state to the
agriculturalist and settler, tenfold
benefits will be derived from the
small money invested. Drainage
and good roads follow each other
and the settlers follow roads. Set
tiers increase the taxable property
of the state and taxes make money
for the treasury. Money makes the
state, already rich, richer. The
southern part of the state has gone
through this evolution and now
sits back and growls because it is
not getting the direct benefits on
the end of it's particular nose. The
ones paying the least taxes are do
ing the loudest shouting.

OF the problem will be, but there is
at least some interest in the COM
ments of the Iron Trade Review on
the steel tie. These, it appears, while
costing u good deal at this stage of
development, could be made in large
quantities for about 81 each. AS steel
ties run about thirteen to the ton,
and $500 to the mile. it would take
about 2l5 tons to each mile of track.
We're all the existing tract ia the
United States-about 275, 900 miles in
all, including sidings and double
trackage-equipped there would be a
demand for 60,000,0 900 tons irrespective
or new construction and renewals.
AS to relative economy, the Review
points out that the life of Il steel tie
is about Twenty-Five years, while that
OF wooden ties is about eight years.
With the latter in some sections APP
preaching 81 apiece in cost the steel
tie at 81 would be obviously the more
economical. AS to its feasibility in
other respects. no comments are
made.
