Ao"f you ask Well, let us for d
moment picture ourselves In this burn
ed city. The flames in the business
portion seem to be everywhere. The
water pipes and the gas pipes and the
electric wires are broken. The escap-
Ing gas has been lgnited by the live
wires. The fire engines are helpless.
for the water supply Is gone. The
flames are creeping nearer and nearer
to your house. You rush forth fran
tiealiy to hunt up an expressman.
How much?'' you ask. .swnl you
carry my trunks out OF the reach of
danger "Give nue. fifty or a ftndred
dollars," Is the answer. Cant YOU
do it for less?" NO." he says: "there
are only a few wagons. and we can get
any price we ask" Or the flames have
burned themselves out and there are
only. u few bakery stores left. You
enter one and ask for bread How
much Is a losff" lone dollar" says
the baker. Can't you sell the bread
for lessy "So. can raise my price,
and instead OF getting cents loaf
l am going to get DOLLAR" This was
the condition confronting the people of
San Francisco during and Immediately
after the connagration. Now what
happened? Why. General Funston sent
forth orders something Ike this: '.If
any man who has a horse and wagon
IL found overcharging confiscate his
wagon and horse. II any man who
owns a bakery store is found over
charging take away his store and drive
him out from behind the counter"
Thus we find that In the darkest days
OF the San Francisco horror the baker
was not allowed to charge more than
an honest. fair price for his bread nor

The 81. Paul has FOR some time used

The actual count a. made by re-
porter for this paper at the trains
showed that the St Paul carried 20
passengers out Of this station while
the North Western carried none.
Our purpose in making a careful
canvass of this business Was for the
purpose Of comparing the effect Of the
different kinds of advertising and not
as criticism on the roads or local
conditions. for they are equally pro
gressive corporations and equal friend

Carnival Gone North

The members OF the American
Amusements carnival company which
exhibited in Crystal Falls last week
left on Monday for the copper country
and will appear at South Range next
week The company didn't reap a
harvest Of wealth here although the
volcano show was well pstronized and
well deserved the patronage il got A
prejudice existed against the company
because Of reports from Iron Mountain
of rough followers and the dividing Of
the attractions.
The reports Of crooks following the
carnival were false. The Carnival
people were a. fine lot OF people as
ever visited the city with any sttrac-
tion. The manager is a particularly
fine fellow.

More Primary Decisions.

Attorney General Bird has decided
that a person enrolled ~ an "indepen
dent may circulate petitions for nom
nation b Office on the Republican
ticket, holding that the law cannot
deprive any elector Of the right to be-
come candidate for Office in any
party.
A name appearing on two petitions
for the same Office should not be count
ed for either party, a. county clerks
should not be required to solve the
proposition Of the intent of any petit
tioner.
The Twenty.sixth and Twenty -sey
enth senatorial districts declared for
primary nominations, but since the
primary Benzie county, by decision
OF the supreme court, on the 1905 ap.
portionmsnt, has been transferred from
the former To the later district Mr.
Bird decides that this does not affect
the primary vote.
BY the saem decision Arenac county
Is now with Bay and Midland counties
In senatorial district. Arensc had
not declared itself for primaries, but
Bay and Midland had. That the sens-
tor in that district should be elected
by the primary method, is the ruling
Of the attorney general, inasmuch as
all the enrolled voters OF Arenac could
not overcome the majority for the pro-
position in the other two counties

LETTERS DISCOVERED
Investigations Being Made at Pater
son, New Jersey.-Conspiracy Un-
earthed Yesterday, But So Far No
Arrests Have Been Made.

Paterson, N. j., Jan. 24.-The po-
lice of this city today conducted a
search for accomplices in the plot to
assassinate Governor Pennypacker of
Pennsylvania, Governor Pattison of
Ohio, and another leading man,
which was unearthed near Monogo-
hela, Penn, yesterday. Information
has been sent here that letters which
we're found at Baird, Pa, yesterday,
named among others as intended vic
tins both of these governors, and
bore a Paterson, N. J., postmark.
Some of these letters apparently were
sent from an organization known as
Liberia Sociologia," located at 495
Madison avenue, in this city.
The house at this number on Madi-
son avenue is the only one in the
block. The only occupants which the
police found in it today were two
Italian silk weavers and their fam
lilies. Both of these men told the po-
lice that they had no knowledge of a
society called Liberia SOCIOLOGICAL" ,"
or of the letters said to have been
found at Baird, Pa.

Albuquerque Citizen, Jan. 20.
trap shooter, who is in the city as
the guest of Joe Barnett, bears the
distinction of being the first person
in Albuquerque, outside of the tele-
phone exchange employees, who has
talked with Denver, using the long
distance service out of this city.
Early last evening Mr.. Mckenzie
left his call with the toll operator
from the Alvarado, his ticket was
made out, and the electric current
was in a jiffy later whizzing over the
wire to Denver, 52S miles away. Den
yer answered promptly, and in less
time probably than it takes to tell it,
Mr.. McKenzie's party was reused and
talking to him. 1t cost Mr.. Mckenzie
$3.50 for the three minutes he "chew-
ed the rag" but he says his money
was well spent, for the service was
simply great.
Today many local persons convers-
ed with other points on the line At
torney Harry P. Owen held a three
minute talk with Santa Fe this morn
ing, he being the first resident of AL
hIlnuproue to break in the new toll
line.

Cotton Compress Burned.
Norfolk, Va, Jan. 24.-The Inter

compress on Elizabeth river here, to-
gether with much stored cotton in
the warehouses and sheds of Rogers,
McCabe & Co., burned early this NOR
ming. and an intervening wall of oys-
ter shells was the only thing that saw
ed from destruction the property of
the Norfolk Warehouse Associations
ice plant and many more bales of
cotton stored in adjoining ware
houses.
Jacob Addison, white laborer en-
ployed at the burned compress, was
asleep in the building at the time of
the fire, and is believed to have per-
ished. Henry Shumadine, engineer.

building, barely escaped with his life
The loss is estimated at $3.50, 900. The
fire is supposed to have originated
from crossed electric light wires.
