A FIVE MILLION BAeATElLE.

This is big country where big
prise. and a success makes only ordin-
airy comment. 1t is only a few years
since Jim Hill worked for low wages.
Now he proposes $5,0O0,o00 worth Of
railroad Improvements as ordinary men
speak of building a cowshed. 1t is
only a generation hence from the bus
ness private at the rear rank to a
grand marshalship in the army of in
,iustry.
Think of the proposition. Five mill
lions in 1907 suggested as lightly as an
expenditure of $4,000 would have been
when Jim Hill was yearling. We do
big things nowadays, and do them on
a, wide scale.
Compared with other countries Hills
proposition for the improvement OF
American railways is stupendous. IN
sular Great Britain builds its lines
withins the narrow limits OF its SUR
rouding seas. Here we stretch a
double line of steel 1000 miles from
ocean to ocean as the crow flies. You
take the car at New York that lands
YOU in San Francisco. No change ex-
cept for the porter. The road maker of
America ties hemisphere together
with his track. Two hundred thousand
miles of railroad in the United States
and still Mr.. Hill sees opportunity and
profit for s5,ooo,ooo year expended on
new lines

AN OPPORTUNITY IOWA LACKS.

From the Dakotas and the north
west come narrowing tales Of acute
ST ffering on account of a fuel fam
inc. 1t is related that barns have been
ps .rtially or entirely torn down and
used as fuel, wagon boxes, sheds, and
in one instance a house, have been
burned to keep their owners from
freezing. Oats, corn and hay have been
fed the fires, Of necessity. The creeks
and rivers have been secured for drift
wood and many have gone cold, and
much suffering has ensued.
Perhaps this is overdrawn, but that
the new settlers of the northwest have
suffered severely by lack of fuel is
certain It has been impossible to get
coal. The railroads charge the FAM
inc against the neglect Of coal dealers
to order respectable stock. The DEAL
ers and the citizens charge it against
the failure Of the railroads to furnish
transportation for fuel 1t is safe to
acc ept both as correct IN part, ana TO
add another-the proverbial careless
ness and neglect Of the new settler to
properly supply himself with fuel at
the proper time. The railroads are
likely to hear from their mistake in
future legislation, and the dealers have
made splendid opening for new COM
petitors
incidentally, comparison must sug-
gest itself to the Iowans who have ex-
patriated themselves and gone into the
far country where cold and billiards
are accompanied by a fuel famine. 1t
would be well for others who are con-
templating like expatriation to make
comparisons. Iowa is a good state to
live in. It's opportunities which are
legion lack the far northwestern OPP
portunity to freeze to death.

PERKINS ON CHRISTMAS.
[sioux City Journal. ]

The 25th of December is the day
we celebrate-not as the shepherds
did; not as the wise men did When
we have rubbed up a little we re-
member this is the birthday of the
Christ; and when we remember a lit
tie more we agree that this is the
day we celebrate in commemoration
Of his birth, and that we have no au-
thentic record, thru man or angel, of
just when he was, born We doubt IL
the birth came in December; for we
want to know what the shepherds
would be doing with the flocks out
on the plains of Judea in December
If there had been a newspaper a.
Bethlehem we should have something
to go to: but there was no newspaper.
1t was a great day, but no mark on
the calendar was left by the shep-
herds, and the wise men were equally
negligent, and yet altogether they but
followed the example of the angels
that came out Of the sky. In a little
while the only definite knowledge that
remained was that Jesus was born;
dependent we all are upon the record
made at the time. Otherwise some
OF US might die Of old age under a
mistaken notion. A day in
October would have better fitted the
apostolic story of the plains, the
sheep and the shepherds, but that
would have left December to the
heather. But it doesn't so much
matter. We have the day, which is
universal where the story Of the man
ger is known, and we have the, truth
which the heart has passed along
from generation to generation. When
it comes to handing things down from
father to son and from mother to
daughter the custom is beyond the
edicts of kings and beyond the juris-
diction Of all the princes Of evil.
Christmas. 1t was not always the
word it is. 1t used to be Christ's
mass; and there were those who said
they were pioneers in Christian lib
erty who would not celebrate mass;
and so it was the Puritans. who want
ed to do things on the square, and
who therefore always had their sharp
edges, would have none Of it. The
passing years have continued wicked
ness, but they have mellowed many
hearts, and many differences have
been blotted out. Christmas has been
winning its way, and wherever the
name of Jesus is known there is
Christmas today.
"Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men,
But let's quit this, and get out with
the children, who know they are
happy, and who show their toys for
the reason why.

Stable Ventilation.

Has 1t ever occurred to the reader.
that tuberculosis among livestock is
largely matter of latitude, that in
Europe there is but little Of it, in pro-
portion to the number Of cattle, in
Italy or Spain, more in France and still
more in Germany and more still. in
Denmark. 1t is not all matter of
latitude, however, for Colorado has
less of it than the same latitude in
Iowa and Illinois; Montana and the
Dakotas have less than Minnesota and
Wisconsin. 1t is a matter of latitude
only as latitude requires closer stab
ling. When you get down to the very
root of the matter tuberculosis is q
stable disease, even as human con-
sumption is house disease.
It is not necessarily stable disease
The stable is dangerous to the COW
and the house to the man only when
deficient in ventilation. While pure
air with nutritious food is the best
cure for consumption in man, it IL
also the best prevention and cure for
the same disease in the COW. An essen
