EXAGGERATED STATISTICS.

Rev. H. P. Cooper of Drayton in a
letter to the Grand Forks Herald CRITICS
ed Mrs. Preston-Anderson, president Of
the state w. G. 7. u. because Of extrav.
CANT statistics given by her in her an
naAl address as to the mortality caused
by liquor. The criticism is we'll taken.
As Mr.. Cooper says the ravages Of the
liquor business are quite enough in
straight truth without exaggeration.
The average temperance talker gives
the impression if not the actual figures
in reference to death, crime and poverty,
TO the listener, that the major part Of all
the misery and crime OF the world is
caused by alcohol. That if boy takes
one drink of whiskey he is more than
likely to land in drunkard's grave.
That alcohol in any form is abou as fatal
as strychnine. That alcohol as med
ficine is worse than useless, etc, etc.
Such exaggeration defeats the object,
It simply makes the youth doubt the
real truth, and only disgusts those Of
maturer years.

CAUCUS Y IS, BETTER.

The Herald and the 81 /. Thomas
Times make the plea for democratic in.
yasion Of the primaries that the demo.
Gratis could do Che same thing under
the ca0cus system,
In answer We may say, first. that this
is No argument for the primary system,
for it the primary is not. an improve
ment over the caucus there is no need
of change, for change in itself is not
only useless but is Objectionable.
Second. Uuder the last caucus law
OF this state, the names of all partici.
pants were preserved. II in any pre-.
cinct the democrats had taken q notion
to swamp CT participate to any ex.
tent, then all the real republicans would
need to do would be to hold another
caucus and select another set Of dele.
gates and send them to the convention
as contestants. The convention would
then decide as to the legitimate caucus
and delegates. Under the primary sys
tenn there is no opportunity of appeal
Third. The primary system offers
direct objects for democratic participa
ton in the republican primary. Fo,
instance in a late primary election in
another state the only democratic nom
inee for mayor was for a swide-open
policy. The republicans had two candi
dates, one was for holding down th,
lid" on Sunday liquor selling, while th,
other was for the wide open policy
just few democrats voted for fhei
own candidate and under the primar,
law one vote unopposed is sufficient, ane
ailarge part of the balance voted on re
publican ballots for the swide-open'' re
publican candidate. The motive il
plain and the. object need not be ex
planned. Again the same thing occur
when the democrats prefer to soe !;
weak republican candidate nominated
It they have power they will see that i
IS done, Then when there is contestbe
tween localities each having oandidat,
for Office, each locality will give all tn,
votes possible for the home man. Al
happened right in this county at th,
late primary in the case of the contes
for one local county Office. Ina caucu,
system this could not occur for no mat
ter how friendly the local democrat.
might be to the home candidate, tn.
number of votes at the caucus woulc
not cut any figure ia the final selection
as the locality would have only its pro
portionate number Q, votes anyway, il
the convention.
To sum Proving the caucus i.
bad, does not prove that the primary i.
an Improvement; there is no appea
from the primary, there Is an appea
from the caucus; the primary system
tempts and invites democratic interven
tion in the choice Of republican candi
dates for several reasons, while it i,
rare that there could be any advantag'
gained by democratic participation in ].
republican caucus.

LINE To LARAMIE.
Union Pacific said to Have Planned a
New Cut Off.

Fort Collins, Colo, Sept. 25.-Ihe
news comes from reliable sources in
Omaha, that the Union Pacific railroad
has its plans all laid for building a cut
off from P~latteville, Colo, on the
straightest and most direct line to Lar
annie, Wyo. The surveys have all been
made, the line located and an agent is
now in the field, it is said, to secure a
right-of-way between Fort Collins and
,Piatteville. Deeds for much of the
right-of-way have already been record
ed in the counties through which the
line will pass.
There are many reasons for believ-
ing there is something in these state
ments. Engineers have been in the
field between here and Denver and this
Ilace n Laramie for some weeks,
surveying a route and sticking stakes
for a railroad.

graph-Notes from the Rolling
Mills and the Road.

r. d. Stewart, general superintend-
ent and engineer in chief of the Lara
ME, Hahns Peak and Pacific, spent
yesterday at Cheyenne, superintend.
ing the work being done on the engine
to be added to the rolling stock of the
road. The engine was purchased from
the Union Pacific and the shops at
Cheyenne are giving it a thorough
o~verhauling. Il was told at the shops
yesterday said Mr.. Stewart, that the
locomotive would leave the shops in
better shape than it was on the first
day it worked for the Union Pacific,
the parts being worn smooth and the
boiler being entirely free from leakage,
and with a full new set of flues, stay
bolts and other parts. The master me.
chanic is having a splendid job of work
done on the engine"
Mr.. Stewart stated that the freight
cars also purchased from the Union Pa
cific have been repaired and reprinted,
bearing the initials of the new road,
L., H. P. & p" They will be sent
over when they are needed.
Will Recommend Telephone.
Speaking of a telegraph or telephone
system for the new line, Mr.. Stewart
said he would recommend the installa-
ton of a first-class telephone line in
stead of telegraph, as that would obvi'
ate the necessity for operators and
place the president of the company
Il the humblest employe in instant
aud direct communication. The hand
ling OF trains can be done as safely by
telephone as by telegraph, especially
when there will be but one on the road
for a while. The work of getting the
road in shape for the receipt of the
train is progressing. Mr.. Stewart said
that as far as he knew nothing a
been done yet about securing a train
crew. A number of applications have
been on file for some time and the Off
GERS will have no difficulty in finding
first-class men for all the positions.

on Sixth street.
A bolt room is being erected to ex-
tend westward from the present room.
A conveyor will be used to carry the
railroad spikes hot from the spike ma
chine a considerable distance through
the air to cool. 1t was found that the
water process was having a hardening
effect on the spikes, rendering them
less useful. The new conveyor will de-
liver the cooled spikes on to a plat
form rady for putting up for ship
ment.
The track bolt machine has been
converted into a machine bolt machine
and is today running on bolts an inch
and a half long and three-eights OF

Sherman gravel is being spread in
the front yard of the mill, the yard
having heretofore been just bare dirt.

SAY MUCH ABOUT IT..
