SPENT ALL NIGHT N THE SNOW
Alfred Holm Frozen While Near
Fertilc-Horses Run Away.

Alfred Helm young son of a Gary
blacksmith, laid in the snow all night
Friday between Fertile and Gary and
will probably lose both his arms on
account Of 1t. He left Gary to drive
three travelling men to Fertile. On his
return his horses ran away and threw
him out in the snow. He was stunned
by the fall and remained cut in the
cold all night. His arms were frozen
and will probably have to be taken
off below the elbows. His feet were
also frozen but they will probably be
saved. The distance between Gary
and Fertile is 16 miles. He was found
by the section men on the N. P. and
brought into Gary.

DIFFICULT TO STEER A SHIP.
Man at the Helm Works with the Cur.
tains Tightly Drawn.

The work Of steering q great ship,
even with the aid Of all the machinery,
is much more delicate than one would
imagine The larger and faster the
snip the greater is the difficulty. It is
not enough to hold the wheel in the
same position to keep the ship on her
course, for the wind and waves and
the currents of the ocean tend con.
stantly to knock the ship off her
course. The great wall of steel-for
the null may be 700 feet long and GO
reet high-offers broad target for
the wind and waves.
The art of steering is to humor the
ship to these forces and when she is
dehected to bring her back quickly to
her course. If you could watch the
pinnacle, especially in bad weather,
you would see the needle of the com.
pass constantly shifting from side to
side, which means that the great
steel prov is not going forward in
a perfectly straight line.
The most astonishing thing about
the bridge is to find the wheelhouse
with all its curtains tightly drawn,
as OFTEN happens, and the man at the
helm steering the boat without see-:
ing ahead at all. At night or even,
by day, if the light of the pinnacle
Is confusing, the wheelhouse is often
completely shut in. The man at the
wheel, 1t is explained, does not need
TO look ahead. The lookout high up

on watch on the bridge will keep him
informed If any object is sighted. The
duty OF the man at the wheel is to
keep the ship on her course. Through.
out his watch of four hours he must
Keep his eyes on the compass and no.
where else.-St. Nicholas.

NOT OPENED UNTIL SPRING
Does Not Seem Possible to Get the
Aneta Extension Finished This
Winter.

There is very little possibility that
the Aneta-Devils Lake extension Of
the Great Northern will be completed
this winter. The heavy SHOWS of the
past few weeks has stopped operations
and they will probably not be actively
resumed until spring comes again.
The railroad company has been trying
to carry on operations with a force
of but few men, and there is yet
ten miles Of track to lay.
