Minneapolis Journal: Extensive
track revision work and grade cutting
is to be done this season by the Great
Northern road on it's line between.
Minneapolis and Willmar. The pur-
pose is to make this one of the near
est level lines out of Minneapolis. In
asmuch as about thirty work ira ms
will be in service on this stretch of
track, the passengea train SER
vice will be almost discontinued.
except for one local train.
The Great Northern is evidently
taking steps to get a short and how
grade freight line from Minneapolis
to Devils Lake on the main line for
it's thru coast trains. With the Will
mar and Breckenridge divisions i'm
fine shape and the new Aneta line
completed thru to Devils Lake, the
Great Northern will have new and
more direct line to the coast.
Two years ago steps were first tax
en- in this work, when westbound hills
on the Willmar division were cut
The work this summer will be on the
eastbound grades and the line viii be-
virtually double tracked from Way
zatta to Willmar, distance OF
seveny eight miles. The changes wilI
enable the company to handle the
large volume of freight busin esg
that is expected when the Sioux City
line is extended southwark to connect
with the Burlington system. It Ts
possible that the Oriental limited wifR
be. operated by this route, instead OF
over the ST. Cloud division.
To accommodate the travel to points
between Minneapolis and Willmar
this summer, it is probable thai
| local train will be operated between
Minneapolis and Willmar, leaving
Minneapolis in the evening and re-
turning the next morning about ne
O'Clock.
Trains No. 3 and 9, leaving Minnea-
polls at 1872 p. m. and $3.50 p. M, and
trains No. and 10, arriving at 1910
,. m, and TAO a. m., will probably be
'un over the st. Cloud and Fergus
! Falls division, Or by the way of St-
Cloud, Willmar and the Breckenridge
division.
The company will announce the
new time card in short time.

visited the Holy Land. It is interest
ing to hear the comments. The gen
eral verdict is that the villages and
cities and people do not seem holy or
to have been Influenced much by their
scored surroundings. Most visitors
want now to visit just the hills and
valleys and then to think of former
associations. To forget the vile and
mean and unchristian, to pay no at
tention to superstitious tradition or
barberous and fantastic illusions just
to put themselves back into associa-
ton with Him who in short earthly
life forever made glorious this ancient
Palestine.
If only some power other than
Turkey could gain control of Pales-
tine, it might then be a fit place to
visit and one would then be more
deeply impressed. Of course I visit

FELT THE EARTHQUAKE.
Letter from Mr.. and Mrs. j. J. Pimm
at Sacramento.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. J. Pimm, formerly
res idents of Morris, but now living at
| Corning, California, experienced the
shock from the California earthquake
while at Sacramento last week. The
information is contained in letter re-
ceived by Mrs. A. A. Stone.
Mr.. Pimm was in Sacremento as a
delegate to the Presbytery, and Mrs.
Pimm to have her eyes treated. In
describing the earthquake, they say:
"With this mail I send you paper
giving some idea of the terrible disas-
ter which has befallen the city of San
Francisco. Today it is a city of ruins,
and the people are fleeing from it as
fast as the trains can carry them away
and the fires are still burning. We
were here in Sacramento and received
quite shock. It happened at 5:15 a.
m. and we were still asleep, but soon
became conscious that there was
something new and wrong going on.
We quickly got out of bed and looked
into the street, to find lots of people
there waiting to see the worst. Our
bed shock like cradle, the chande-
hers swayed like drunken man, and
the weights in the windows hammered
away equal to a carpenter, or [ might
have said a blacksmith.
"Many people are coming to Sacra-
mento with their possessions on their
backs or in their hands. One man on
hearing of the trouble and whose
family were ia San Francisco and he
in the gold fields, met at the depot
and rode to this hotel in the bus with
me. Now will tell you that altho
their property which consisted of
bundle of silver which they carried in
their hands was all that they had left
of this worlds goods, yet it was a
most happy meeting. Many thousand
dollars have been raised here for the
sufferers. The proprietor of this hotel
gave $1,000"
The paper which Mr.. Pimm mem
toned is a combined issue of the Call,
Examiner and Chronicle, 4 pages, and
probably issued from some small plant
that escaped destruction.
The letter also states that Mrs. |
Pimm has not had the use of her eyes
for over a year.. Her eyes during the
winter was somewhat improved, but
the one which never has troubled her
before is now very. much infamed, I
aud the lids are granulated, and she
has had great deal of pain. Leslie /

Santa Rosa, Cal, April 27.-The lat
est figures show forty-one dead, sixty
three injured and seven missing here.
The entire business section of Santa
Rosa and many residences were de
stroyed. TWelty fires started, but the
water supply was unimpaired and
within three hours the flames were

cation with the rest of the world
Santa Rosa knew nothing of the de-
sttuction OF San Francisco until the
arrival from there Of a trainload OF
1000 refugees begging for help that
could not be given them. Nearby
towns came to the. rescue and after a
period Of suffering aid was received.
So soon as the dead were buried
business men began clearing pas

Less Strenuous Vacations.

From the glittering hotels of the
fashionable summer resorts comes
a renewed waG over the scarcity of
young men, even though the season
is at its height naturally. Our
youthful males, especially those
who work for their living, whether
in high or low degree, are more and
more going back" are fighting shy
of the huge caravnnsaries with their
eternal hops" and absurd sartorial
demands.
They are finding greater amount
OF pleasure and a vastly larger store
of health and energy in the coun-
try where mountains and lakes in
vite to attractive effort; in the deep
woods with canoe and guide, or on
the ocean as shippers of saucy
yachts. Any of such expeditions
has the "swell" summer resort
beaten by a great many miles.
Employers, too, are beginning TO
take an interest in the manner of
vacations INDUCED in by their en-
ployes. y business man Of our
knowledge said not long ago that
he was tired of having the young
men of his staff rush off to sum-
mer hotels, where, they lost rather
than gained in vigor. rest. and gen
eral moral tone. He now uses all
the influence he possesses 10 get his
clerks into the woods. and he is
perfectly satisfied with the return
on his eXertiOns.
Naturally arises the query;
What becomes of the summer

Informing the Country.

Washington a Representative
City is the theme of an article in
the current Independent by DIR.
Henry S. Curtis. local director of
Fairgrounds. Evidently the essay
was written several months ago, in
asmuch as it proceeds upon the as
sumption that the Capital has no
compulsory education law, no juve-
nile court, and the lowest pay sched-
ule for school teachers in the
United States. Making all due al
lowance for the progress achieved
in the last session OF Congress,
however, the showing of the article
is stiu depressing enough.
Readers of The Times are already
familiar with the conditions which
DR.. Curtis emphastzes-the alley
life (which ought to be part way
corrected now. but is not). the high
death rate among the negroes, the
prevalence of house diseases" such
as consumption. bronchitis, pneu-
monia, the leadership in typhoid,
the utter unloveliness Of the life in
the interior Of our squares, and the
inadcquacy of our Fairgrounds. II
is not necessary TO restate them in
this connection.
The important thing is that DR..
Curtis and the Independent are
helping educate the American peo-
pie as to the needs of their Capt.
tai If Washington is ever to be-
come what the President and the
nation desire il TO be. ii must be
made so at the hands Of Congress.
Of late Representatives and Sen
ators. especially. the latter, have
been more responsive TO the needs
of the District than ever before
Does any intelligent reader doubt
that that is due to better informa-
tion on the part Of their consitu-
ents? If the work Is to be done
thoroughly, the information of the
people must he accurate and full.
Herein lies the answer-it might
almost be termed the obvious
answer-to those who think to
make progress by hushing all ad-
verse criticism of conditions in
Washington. The way 10 correct an
evil is first 70 find out accurately
what il is and then remedy II de-
hberately. resolutely, and expedi-
tiously. Lives cannot be saved from
the ravages OF consumption. the
community cannot be protected
from the depredations of half-de-
veloped citizens, by descants on the
beauty of our trees and the dis
tinctive virtue of our form of gov
ernment We of the Capital must
roll up our sleeves and go TO work
and the more cooperation we can
obtain from our neighbors of the
States the sooner we will win.
