After Mining Fakes.

Fraud orders are to be issued to all
postmasters against fake mining con-
Germs particular attention to be given
to COLORADO, Nevada. Montana, Idaho
California and Arizona. President
Roosevelt is said to be personally con-
cerned in getting after them.
A plan has been formulated which
will send these promoters to The peni-
Tertiary unless every investor gets
his due. Postoffice inspectors in tie
west and southwest are receiving
blanks from Washington which will
be sent to mining companies to fill in
and the answers TO the questions on
tile blanks Will put the promoters dis
tinctly undergovernmentsu surveillance.
The victims of these swindlers are
generally of the SIS and $40 sort, and
it has been difficult to get evidence
that would convict, but by the pres
ent plan this will be done readily in

Minnesota Peat.

a company has been formed to work
the peat deposits in Nicollet
county where factory will be erect
ed by the United States Peat Fuel Co.
The factory will be erected close to
the boys, as early in the spring as
possible, and the builders expect
it in operation within six months.
The capacity will be 100 tons a day,
which will consume the peat from ten
acres of land in year. Peat brio
quettes will be manufactured, and the
process used will be to thoroughly dry
the material with artificial heat, pull
veriZe it with powerful cruShers and
then compress it into small bricks or
cubes under hydraulic pressure of 50,-
600 pounds to the square inch.
1t is claimed for the commodity by
the manufacturers that it has all the
heating and lasting qualities of the
best anthracite coal, and that it is

Sleigh-Ride Party.

Last evening the younger members
of the Royal League rendered their
married friends sleigh-ride party to
Fall Lake. The party wound up at
Swallow g. Hopkins boarding house
where Landlord Smith had a most de-
licious oyster stew and warm coffee
prepared to which all did more than
justice. Mr.. Smith assisted by Messrs.
Russell and Good made it very pleas
ant for the party. Everyone enjoyed
themselves and it was nearly two
O'Clock before the return trip was
made. Those who went were Messrs.

James, A. j. Fenske, H. j. Lockhart.
Peter Schaefer, F. G. Miller. Mrs.
Thos. Mclaughlin, Mrs. Jas. Moonan
and j. W.. Osborne. The ride out and
back was most enjoyable in the brac-
ing moonlit atmosphere and no one
felt the least bit cold until after the
return when the thermometer was
looked at and found to register 26
below zero.

The races held on the lake Sunday

A rich Brooklynite, dissipated be-
You'd redemption by the powers of
earth was in Cedar Rapids, Ia, some
time ago. Despondently he walked
in front Of Sunshine Mission. The
singing attracted him. 1t sounded to
him like the signal Of soul-saving
station. He ventured in. The Rev.
s. d. Bartle, pastor of our church at
Mechanicsville, Ia, happened to be
preaching that night. The man was
saved. He went back to Brooklyn to
reunited family and happy home.
Like Zaccheus, he was grateful.
Forthwith he placed in Cedar Rap
ids an amount sufficient for a three
months trip to the Old World, sub
ject to the order of Mr.. Bartle, who
will sail in February for the, Holy
Land, visiting Egypt, Greece, Italy,
France and other points on the way.
Rev. Samuel D. Bartle is confer

tee Of the whole. the house by a
vote OF 40 to SO. voted in favor of
a lock canal across the isthmus OF
Panama, the amendment to this effect
being presented by Representative

the difference between a sea level and

appearance of a class room.
Mr.. Burton took position in front OF
The maps and called attention to the
vital difference between the two types.
remarking that were the topography
understood IL would be the very
strongest argument for the lock
canal. He said II the banks would not
cave, If large boats could go through
without running against rocks at the
side and could be properly steered
then a sea level canal would be the
enterprise which would be naturally
preferred.
But such canal convenient for
modern shipping would. in the judg.
ment OF those who have carefully
studied the subject. cost $400, 600, 600
and more, and would exhaust twenty
years or more in building"
Mr.. Bartlett, of Georgia, made a point
Of order against the amendment OF Mr..
Littauer. He insisted that the amend.
ment was clearly new Legislation and
argued the question from that premise.
