SHOPS FOR CLINTON.

Northwestern Buys Land and Prom.

Clinton, Oct. 23.-The Chicago &
Northwestern railway has purchased a
tract Of land 57sx45o feet in size on
Camanche avenue and will probably
erect extensive shops there, building q
new passenger depot on the site of the
old shops and abandon the round
house on Second street. A high official
of the road says the purchase means
something big for Clinton.
The war department. is considering
plans for a new Northwestern bridge
over the Mississippi at this point. It
is believed that the three big improve
ments will be commenced in the spring
of 1907.

JUSTICE TO POSTAL EMPLOYEES
TSioux City Tribune.7

That the government is to take
steps II, increase the pay Of postal en-
ployes will provoke no criticism from
the fair minded. While the stress Of
competition has forced up salaries in
private business the pay Of the men
in the postal department has remained
practically stationary. Mere fair DEAL
ing between government and employees
should take into consideration In
creases in the cost of living. II a
dollar means less now than 1t did ten
years ago, then the difference should
be made UP by paying more dollars.
But the government has been slew
to recognize this obligation. The pay
Of letter carriers, for example, remains
where it was fixed nearly twenty
years ago, by an act approved on jan
uary 8, 1887. From 1896 to 1904, the
average retail cost Of the ordinary ar
tic1es Of food used in the United
States advanced no less than 1886 per
cent, according to the bureau of labor
Of the department of commerce and
labor. This means that in 1904 it re-
quired Silt to buy the same quality
and quantity Of food as could be Sc
cured for 81 in 1896.
From the dispatches it seems that
the natural laws of supply and de-
mand should have the credit Of bring
ing the government to the point of in
creasing postal salaries. A crisis has
been reached in the department be-
cause of the increasing number OF
destinations from the service in the
cities. Employees seem either to have
found 1t impossible to support them
selves on their incomes, or to have re-
ceiyed better offers elsewhere.
The postal employees are compelled

TEACHING A CHILD ITO READ.

lMcCaMSDurS IFlpuAe.J
MANY children learn how to read, but
very few what to read. Parents send
the little ones to school, and there they
learn lea rIS to get the thoughts Of others
from the printed page, but the parents
too often forget that this new acquisi-
ton may be used for either good or
evil. very few realize how q child's life
may be blighted by what 1t reads.
children had better never learn at all
than to read that which corrupts the
morals and destroys the powers of the
minds. In some of the best schools the
pupils are taught what to read, as well
as how to read. Where this is done the
intelligent cooperation Of the parent
is of the greatest Importance. Where
this is not done, the parents must
either attend to the matter themselves
or leave their children to be- led by
fancy and impulse in their choice Of
reading matter.

THE SCOOTER.
~- 80

I
We heard one of our young men
making sport of religion in front of
our Office the other day. His mus
tache had just begun to sprout, and
judging from his talk his mental fac
ulties were not as we'll developed az
his mustache. During our brief stay
upon earth we have seen many just
such young men cold in death. We
have seen the atheist at rest in his
casket, but before being consigned to
their last resting place they have all
been carried thru the doors of a church
and had prayers said over them. This
young man could scott at religion in
his strength and beauty Of health, but
If the dark angel should get after him
he would instinctively regret what he
had said and look into the future with
fear AMI trembling. When one stands
before the open door Of eternity his de-
sire to scof at religion vanishes. We
admit that there are bad; men in the
church, but even these black sheep In
the flock might be blacker II they were
outside. No young man. or old one
either, should condemn the noble eff
forts the army Of Christian people are
making towards lettering the condition
Of things, and whether we attend
church or not but few Of US would de-
sire to live in community where there
was no church.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 9.-Ihe
South Dakota Game and Fish Protec7
tive association is the ann of a new
organization formed at 81 meeting ~
Sioux Falls by South Dakota sports
men. The officers are: President, W.
S. Doty, Epiphany; secretary-treas-
turer, O.. j. Straw, Sioux Fails.
The chief purpose OF the new assoc
citation is to frame and ecure the pas
sage of a suitable state law for the
protection of game and fish.
A committe of fifteen, OF which Pres
fdent w. S. Doty is chairman, was
named to frame a state game ana hSA
law as near as possible like the State
game law of Minnesota.
During the meeting a letter iroEN
| State Game Warden Fullerton, of Min
nesota. was read. He congratulated
the sportsnen on their efforts. Moro
than 100 letters from Coe 1, Crawford,
| governor-elect; Congressman CharieA

Governor Charles N. Eierreid and
other prominent citizens represent
ing all sections of the state Vera
In the hands of the secretary. All
promised to do everything in their
power to have a suitable game and HsA
law passed by the Legislature.
Tax Every Hunter.
1t was decided a tax of 81 should be
| placed on every hunter over the age
of u who enters the field. This will
permit the mi-,or children of farmers
to hunt on their parents licenses. Ii
also was directed that the committee
of fifteen should insert in the draft OF
the proposed new law a clause in IA
vor of entirely abolishing spring shoot
ing; that the period for shooting prairie
chickens be cut down TO thirty days;
chat the period for shooting quail b.
cut down to six weeks.
The proposed new law will provid,
for a game commission, appointed b.
Nhe governor.
The terms of the various distric
game wardens will depend upon thei
efficiency. 1t is believed that unde.
the 81 license from $4,000 to $500
will be raised, and be more than sutfi
cient to enforce the law.
1t is proposed to ultimately estab
lish a state fish hatchery from tn,
funds received from taxing hunters.

frame the proposed new game law, j
composed of the following: W. S

Brookings, S. D., Nov. 20.-News
from Washington that Professor N. e.
Hansen, of the South Dakota expert
ment station of the agricultural col
lege here. had discovered the much
sought alfalfa. hardy enough for the
northern wheat countries, has been re-
ceived here with great pleasure by the
college faculty. d
Regret is expressed that Professor
Hansen had such difficulty in his
quest, risking his life several times in
the interest of science, nearly losing IA
on one occasion by being severely froz-
en- in northern Siberia.
The department of agriculture has
been for years encouraging the growth
of alfalfa. Owing to wide variation In
soil and climate difficulty has been
experienced in securing types suited
to all conditions.
Have Drawn on Foreigners.
I~ntroductions of new alfalfas have
been made from foreign countries. Pro-
fessor Hansen, before going to Slberla'
visited northern Norway and sweden,
with a view of finding new crops Whlch
might be of value in the cold, arld
lands of the United States. The alfalfa
he has discovered has a yellow flower
instead of a blue. 1t is a native of the
dry steppes of Siberia, and grows well
where the mercury falls to 40 below
zero. The country is exceedingly dry'
and vet the alfalfa is excellent forage.
Professor Hansen has secured the seed
and it will receive a thorough test. Inc
department believes this alfalfa a boon
to the cold, dry northwest, where the
durum wheats introduced by the de-
partment several years g nave al
ready proved successful.
