This is real winter weather. The
light snowfall Sunday was followed
by cold nights and freezing wealth
or with the thermometer lingering
around the mark of 20 above zero.
Farmers and stockmen generally
desire to see a greater snowfall.
It would make feeding better as
we'll as being a protection to crops.
The county division movement
is still active and petitions are be
ing circulated throughout the en-
tire section of the proposed new
county. Contrary to the expecta-
tions Of a number of people the
opposition to this movement is
very small and its number can near
ly be counted. 1t is expected that
the petition will number At least
eighty per cent Of the voters in the
proposed county. = Long Greek

Considerable progress is now
being made On the government
ditch here. some 800 men and |
teams are scattered along the
twenty odd miles OF the main canal
from the intake of the main reser-
voir eight miles north of Echo.
Work on the main dam at the res
ervolr will commence as soon as
the seventy ton steam shovel and
four narrow gauge locomotives are
got to that point. They are now
being moved on an improvised
railroad, a short section at time
and it will probably be some little
time before they will reach to that
point as progress is necessarily
slow. Work on the distributing
canals under the reservoir will be-
gin shortly.-Echo Register.

PASSENGERS ARE PAID.
Receive So Each for Failure of Their
Train to Make Time.

Chicago. March 16.-Thirty-four
passengers on the Pennsylvania Rail
road company's eighteen hour train
reached Chicago eight hours late yes
Guiding a rebate of SIS each from the
railroad company for it's inability to
make its schedule.
The train due at S:55 a. m. reached
Chicago at 5:55 p. m. 1t came over
the Panhandle route from PittSburg,
and caused some excitement through
central Ohio and Indiana. There are
no eighteen hour flyers in that section
of the country, and there was a crowd
at every station to see the train go
through.
The troubles of the flyer began 60
miles east of Pittsburg, where
freight wreck was encountered. The
train, which had been spinning along
at an average speed of 50 miles an
hour, and touching 80 and go, began
to move along a few miles at time.
with the result that for Is miles there
was left behind a torchlight process
sion of blazing fuses, accompanied by
torpedoes, the measures of safety
taken to prevent a rear end collision.
The train reached Pittsburg in the
midst of the rising waters. When 10
miles west of Pittsburg it began run
ming through water Is inches deep.
Ahead was a stretch of five miles of
still deeper water and it appeared the
train was going to be foated away,
for the water was rising rapidly. In
few minutes a second engine had been
called for, the train was pulled back
to Pittsbtrg through Is inches of
water.
At 4:s0 in the morning, instead of
11:40 the night before. the train
started westsover the Panhandle route.
The flyer crept along over the safe
track practically on a schedule of it's
own, disturbing freight traffic along
the entire route. On the last stretch
of track a speed of 80 miles an hour
was made, but the trip was made in
27 hours instead of IS.

SPOEANE'S CASE.
Its Solution May Bring Many Changes
i'm Freight Rates.


Chicago, March 16,--The complaint
discrimination in freight rates from
the eastern cities as compared with
rates to the Pacific coast cities will be
heard by the Interstate commerce
commission on Monday in the United
States court room in this city.
A plea is made for the same rates
from Chicago and New York to
Spokane as apply to the Pacific coast
terminals, because Spokane is 400
miles nearer New York than the coast
terminals The coast jobber can buy
in either New York or Chicago at the
same freight rate, but Spokane must
pay a higher rate from New York
than from Chicago.
The Hepburn bill, as interpreted by
the commission, will have a tendency
to make many changes in existing
tariffs and after wrestling with the
problem for more than a week the
Transcontinentala association adjourned
until a committee of the western lines
goes to Washington to talk the matter
over with the commission and gets an
understanding as to what the asSocia-
ton can do in reconciling the two
tariffs If one of the class rate tariffs
to cover the entire west. Spokane's

The case promises to be fought
hard. as Chicago will interpose an OBJ
lection to making the rate to Spokane

Chicago, as 1t Will increase the COM
petition of the local commercial in

BUYING WATER PIPE.
Water Commissioners Find That Iron
Comes High This Year.

The price of iron pipe has gone a
booming and as result the board of
waterworks trustees will be compelled
to pay on an average 81 a ton more
for the new supply of water mains
than they did last year.
The board will contract this year for
something like 500 tons and the in
creased cost per ton will mean an in
creased outlay of $500 for the same
amount of material over 1905.
The universal prosperity over the
country and the heavy demand for
structural iron and iron of all kinds is
the reason for the big increase in cost.
Last year during the months of
January, February and March the
board purchased six carloads of six
inch main amounting to 157 tons at
$31.25 a ton. The quotations now on
the same are $38.75 and $3.50 and
from that it ranged to $42 and SAB a
ton. 1t has. however, receded from
this last named figure and the market
quotations are now lowering about the
$3.50 figure.
The last carload that the board pur-
chased early in the year was at $3S.75
Fifteen thousand feet. of new mains
will be contracted for soon by the
board, the necessary authority has al
ready been secured from the council
and quotations are being secured from
manufa cturers for this amount with
probable option of 1000 additional
feet at the contract price for delivery
About twenty-five thousand feet of
mains will be laid this year at cost of
close to $4,000.
Considerable of this will be four
inch mains which cost more per ton
by an average CT 81 than the six inch
mains The factory cost for four inch
mains is higher than the six inch ana
this in turn makes the purchase price
high The board has for the past year
secured all of its mains from Birming-
ham, Ala.
The main extensions which the trus-
tees will authorize this year are prob
Iematical. In a general way extensions
will be carried out in North Topeka
especially west of Kansas avenue and
will be ccntinuedin the southwest part
of the city in the Washburn district
This portion. was until last year with
out any mains whatsoever, but is now
ra pidly coming to the front, and VIII
have the same adequate fire protection
as any residence district close to the
heart of the city.
A large main will also be carried
down Seventh street from Western
avenue to Jackson street. This will be
a big feed main and result in getting
high fire pressure service more
quickly.

irish residents of Topeka said today:
The Irish population of Topeka is so
shifting that it does not form very
important integral part of our popu-
latfon. There are a good many Irish
men employed at the Santa Fe shops,
but they do not stay here long enough
to become well known. There are at
the old-timers who are native born
Irish. Dennis Mulhall is one of the
oldest, and he has been here 40 years.
Father Hayden was born in the old
country, and so was Jim Devlin down
at the postoff1ce. 1 myself have been
here SO years.
Il see that Governor Hoch is going
Louis. If he goes to dipping into Irish
history he will no doubt tell them some
things they never heard of before. L
remember hearing one man, not Irish,
telling a crowd of Irishmen how St.
Patrick died a martyr to the cause of
Christianity. st. Patrick wasn't u
martyr; he lived to be 125 years old.
and died a natural death. Ireland is
the one country into which Christianity
was introduced without martyrs. We
had plenty of martyrs later on when
the English took hand in our affairs. =
