CONSOLIDATED.
H ocking Vallev and Ka-
nawha Get Together.
LAthens Messenger.l

New York, May 26.-The Kama
wha u Michigan stockholders have
settled with the Hooking Valley
on advantageous terms. The pro-
posed Hooking Valley plan will be
announced by j. P. Morgan & Co.,
in few days. The plan provides
for an actual consolidation of the
Hooking Valley and the Kanawha
u Michigan, which will be effect
ed by the issuance of Hooking e
Valley common stock for Kanawha
d Michigan. The plan also in
wolves the retirement of Hooking
Valley preferred stock and an in
crease in the dividend on Hooking
Valley common from 3 per cent
year to per cent year. The re-
tirement of Hooking Valley pre-
ferred, it is understood, will be
arranged through an issue of bonds
bearing probably 4 per cent inter-
est. The offer which is to be
made for Kanawha & Michigan
stock is 60 per cent in Hooking
Valley common, with the under
standing that the dividend on
Hooking Valley shall be increased
to 6 per cent. This in effect will
give the Kanawha & Michigan
stockholders an annual income
equivalent to 800 per cent on their
present holdings of Kanawha &
Michigan. This stock is now pay
ing no dividends and the efforts of
the committee, headed by George
d. Makay, representing the minor
lty stockholders, have been to OBJ
tain from the Hooking Valley in
terests either the declaration of
dividend on Kanawha d Michigan
or the exchange of that stock from
some other issue which would
yield an annual income.

FARMERS
PROTECTED.
Signs and Posters Shall
Not Deface Fences.

Many farmers and others often
complain of the frequency with
which fences and buildings are de-
faced by signs, posters and other
advertising matter being placed
thereon without permission, says
an Eastern Ohio exchange.
There is law against such use
of fences and buildings without
the consent Of the owner and is as
follows: Section G883 of the Re
vised Statutes of Ohio: Whoever
paints, prints, pastes, stencils or
otherwise marks upon or in any
manner places upon or aliixes to
any building, fence, wall or tree,
without the consent of the owner
thereof, any word, letter, chnrac-
ter, figure, sentence or device, or
any hand bill or notice, shall be
fined not more than $50 or less
than $40, but this section does not
apply to the posting of any hand
bill or notice of any public sale of
property by any Sheriff, admins
traitor, executor or licensed auc-
tioneer, or any notice required by
law to be posted.
From the above il will be under
stood that the owners Of premises
are privileged to remove all such
unsightly signs and forbid this use
of fences and buildings, il they so
desire.

THE HELLO GIRL.
A Few Kind Words Helps
Them So.

AS the light from number $40
M flashed up, the telephone girl
sighed impatiently. Even "hello
girls" are tired sometimes, tho we
think of them as part OF the ma
chinery. Today central was tired
her head ached, she had just sue
ceeded, after repeated calls in get
ting the number wanted by $40
M. and here they were calling her
up again! "Can't that woman
be quiet minure?" solioquized
Central, while she reiterated:
"Number, please2" trying to
speak Grossly. "Centra!," said
n pleasant voice, 81 want to thank
you for taking so much trouble to
get me that last number. You
are always so kind and obliging
and i do appreciate it," The
surprise was so great, so over
whelming that Central confusedly,
said 81 -O-yes, ma am" Nothing
like this had ever happened be-
fore. Suddenly her headache was
better, suddenly the dav was
brighter, suddenly, too, there
came lump in her throat and she
reached for her handkerchief. 1t
was so good to be thanked. Con
gregationalist.

matter upon which the question of
the retention of mail service on
Rural Routes depends, not only at
Logan, but everywhere as well,
and that is the question of good
roads. These roads must be in
good condition, and kept that way
according to the requirements of
the Government, If the Rural
Routes are kept up. These routes
must be over roads that are pass
able for vehicle. As to the best
methods for the keeping Of the
roads in good condition, / would
recommend that the split-log drag
he used, as it is the best method
know Of, and | have seen many
tried, 1t is cheap, within the
reach of all and is easy to operate,
producing the best results every
time, being much ahead of the re-
suits obtained by scraper. 1t is
to be hoped that Ohio will have
better roads than at present, and
in the obtaining of these, / believe
that the establishing and the keep
ing of the Rural Mail Service will
be quite factor. ?"

LETTER.
Handed Us by w. P. Miller
of Unien Furnace.
CERES, CALIFORNIA, MAY, 1905.

DEAR FRIENDS -
I will try and write you a few
line this morning. No doubt yor
have heard that we were among
the victims of the disaster, but
thanks to our Heavenly Father
we we're among the saved. Surely
we realized Gods protecting care
through that awful calamity.
We had a suite of rooms on the
third floor, land that was the top
floor, in frame residence. II
stood the quake fine. We did not
get out of our bed until it was all
over; of course our bed rocked &c
that we could hardly stay in it,
but we stuck to it. There was q
CRATE at the foot of our bed, the
chimney went down but intead of
coming in on US, very marvelously
it went on the outside, except
what came down into the CRATE.
But not fraction was thrown
from off the walls, nor one of our
windows broken. The windows in
the house next to ours were COM
pletely demolished. Golden Gate
Hall, an immense brick building
almost opposite US was total
wreck. 1t was the fire, though
that played havoc. The fire new
er reached our block until some
time near midnight. But you see
the people were so agitated and
every where they were in such a
panic stricken condition. Slight
earth quakes every few minutes
all day Wednesday and every ef-
fort being put forth to stop the
fire, and all lived in hopes that
the fire would be controlled before
it reached our block. IU was i'm
possible to get anything like an
express wagon for they were all
working in the burning district, -
all street cars were stopped be-
cause al! the power houses had
exploded. Oh, / tell you, We'd
nesday and Thursday were two
never to be forgotten days. We
took refuge in park called
Lafayette Square about fourteen
blocks northwest from where we
lived, and 1T was a park much
higher than some were down in
the city. We reached there
ThurSday evening about 5 O'Clock
and from there we could see the
immense body of water and see
that awful fire sweeping every
thing before it. Oh, it was
terrible sight, but part of the
time | was unconscious, my heart
Just about gave up Its job and l
was about ready to hand in my
,hecks. 1t wasn't because l was
but had oyer exerted
myself. We saw the fire rage all
night Thursday, all day Friday,
Friday night, and on Saturday
,he wind changed and that was
What saved the western part of
The city. The fire came within
,wo blocks or it, but they dYna-
nited the buildings in that block
md that stopped the fire at that
place.
Oh. it was awful to see the
residences go up in
moke. The granduer of this
iity was something beyond imagi-
lation. We remarked that peo-
'le here made their money fast,
'ut when earth quakes aud fires

time TO GET STARTED

interest Has n4Awakened In Civic
Improvement and 1t Is Hoped the
Work Will Be Taken Up in This
City.
1t is understood several ladies of
the city are interesting themselves in
the subject of civic Improvement and
Will endeavor to enlist the co-poera-
tlon of others. This is a work that
requires enthusiasm, persistency and
the courage to combat the passive
opposition of those who, admitting the
beneficent possibilities of such a.
crusade, not only decline to assist
In the work but offer every discourage
ment. This has been the history of
the movement elsewhere and I'M
doubtedly will be the case here,
though the we'll known progressive
ness of Bismarck women would seen
guarantee to the contrary.
If certain ladies desire to undertake
the work of educating. the citizens TO
higher ideals of civic pride they GER
ta1nly are entitled to announcements
instead of knocking. This work calls
Tor very little direct pecuniary con-
trlbution, SO there need be no alarm
on that score. A trjfing exertion on
the part of property owners, in both
business and residence sections, to
clean up their premises-and keep
them clean-will work wonders for
the betterment of the Capital City's
appearance.
While the club women of the coun-
try have taken the lead in this civic
Improvement league, the work is bv no
means confined to them. It is open to
anyone, male or female, who desires.
TO interest themselves in the cause.
Bismarck has three progressive and
torceful women's clubs, and in view of
the great part taken by women's
organizations elsewhere, it is natural
to look to that source for the initia-
| i've 1t is an uplifting work and
worthy the earnest consideration of
| the local ladies. 1t has made beauti-
ful many uhattractive towns and cities
and amplifed the natural attractions
OF others. There is abundant scope in
Bismarck for such implication and at
! trifling expense.
The American Civic association,
North American Building, Phila-
delphia, will be glad to furnish free
abundant literature on this subject to
those who care to send for it.

PROCLAMATION,

Whereas, A people are largely
guaged in the scale of progress by the
cleanliness and beauty of their en-
viTonment, and
Whereas, 1t is becoming in each, and
every citizen, regardless of station, to
have and encourage civic pride in
their public and private property, and
Whereas. 1t is possible, with slight
personal or municipal expense,
through con certed action on the part
OF our citizens, to add largely to the
beauty and cleanliness of our city, and
Whereas, Such concerted action,
where heartily joined in by the citi-
zens, has added great charm to many
cities of this and other states, and,
relying upon the public spirit of our
people, I do respectfully
Suggest and Recommend, That Tues
day, April 10 (weather permitting,
otherwise, Friday, April 13> be set
apart as general cleaning up day"
for all premises in the city, both bust
ness and private; that each business
firm and householder sees to it that
all waste paper, refuse and other I'M
sanitary and unsightly matter be re-
moved from front and rear of their
premises On that day. A generous
response to this recommendation, l
am sure, will result in marked i'm
provement in the public streets and
the home grounds, and, if the practice
of throwing paper, etc, in the streets
and alleys is desisted in. and, if
merchants will keep the street linn
mediately in front of their place of
business clear of refuse, the result
would certainly repay the small effort
entailed. w. H. WEBB, Jr.,

Carstens IS.
One hundred and forty-seven votes
We're registered in the Fourth ward
and E. G. Patterson got all of the SO

In the Fifth 120 were registered, of
which Wilcox and Mccormick re-
ceived the total vote cast, "a each.
The registry in the Sixth was 1853,
and Horner and Richholt received 81
each, and two votes were cast for two
others!
The total registry was 1916, of which
but 429 were cast, less than half of
the possible vote of the city.

from the new wards, tied on the vote,
they will have to cast lots to see
which will serve one year and which
two years.
