Hint

Reports are coming in that
our Hydro Carbon oil is being
received in many towns where
they have been obliged to burn
candles, owing to the inability
of the great trust to fill all of
their orders. We prepared for
this blockade last fall by keep
ing our tanks full and have
come to the rescue many times.
If you burn oil and want a
GOOD light call for Bartles
oil. IF your dealer don't sell it
call us up. You don't need a
special lamp or smokeless de-
vice-it will burn in any old
lamp provided you put in a
new wick.

RESUME OF R. R. SITUATION
Nearly All the Lines Are Open to
Traffic Although Drifts Are
Forming Continually.

Service on the branch lines of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
in the southern portion of the state
show considerable improvement.
The southwestern line is clear
again.
The Soo-Kenmare Thief River line
is still in blockaded condition, al
though unless another heavy blizzard
sweeps over the north, the officials
expect to have trains running by the
first of the week.
The through service on the Great
Northern is still in a critical shape,
but Is being maintained. Snow drifts
pile up almost as fast as plows re-
move them and especially in the
vicinity of Niagara, Petersburg and
Lakota, thes trainmen are having
hard russell. Railroad men familiar
with conditions in this and Montana
state that it is wonder that there
is not a complete tie up. All trains
from the west today are late or can
celled.
Through service on the Northern
Pacific Is also in a hanging state.
Several conductors running out of
Fargo, not only on the main line, but
on the branches, also must have gone
In search of the north pole. At any
rate, many of the ICONS" have not been
seen around headquarters for several
days.
North branches of the Great Nor
thern are experiencing hard times.
Trains run whenever the sun shines,
and that is seldom. Some of the
branches have had but one freight and
passenger for week. Snow fences
are being installed as fast as possible,
and by spring should be in shape to
handle the snow drifts.

BOARD D|SAGREES
WITH ASSESSOR
MILLER
Regarding the Abatement of
1905 Taxes on Two Re-
frigerator Cars.
SHOWN IN AFFIDAVIT
Cars Belonged to One Company
and Were Assessed Against
Another.
SHOWN IN AFFIDAVIT

Acting upon the statement Of City
Assessor Sim Miller in re the abate-
ment of taxes assessed Swift & Co.,
which were ordered abated by the
county board, at the present meeting,
the board this afternoon overruled the
objection of Mr.. Miller. and sustained
its own action of few days since in
granting the abatement asked.
The tax in dispute stood against two
refrigerator cars which it was alleged
belonged to the Swift Refrigerator
line, and which according to Sim Mil
ler's affidavit which the board has on
file, were used by Swift & Co., an en-
tirely different corporation from the
Swift Refrigerator line. Mr.. Miller
had assessed the taxes against the
former corporation, when according to
his own statement in writing the as
sessment should have been made
against the last above named corpor-
alton.
Quoting Mr.. Miller's affidavit, the
following is shown:
"Sim Miller being duly sworn de-
poses and says, etc., that acting in his
official capacity as assessor, he did Oh
or about May 20, 1906, list and assess
the real and personal property owned
by Swift & Co. in the city OF Grand
Forks as follows: Horses three years
and over $50; wagons, carriages and
all other wheeled vehicles, $40; goods
and merchandise, $4,000; that of the
sum of $4,000 so assessed upon
goods and merchandise $500 was as
sessed upon two refrigerator cars
owned by the Swift Refrigerator line,
said cars being used for storage pur-
poses by Swift & Co. and for the
further purpose of transporting the
produce of the said Swift & Co. in
this state and between this state and
| other states.

CRUSHED TO PULP
ARE BODIES Of
TWO men
In Serious Accident Near
Petersburg Friday Night
Laborers Killed.
TELEsCoPED INTO COACH
Several Others 1njured-1n-
quest Will be Held on
Monday.
TELEsCoPED INTO COACH

The telescoping of caboose into a
passenger coach occupied by g. N.
laborers last evening at point a mile
east Of Petersburg, resulted In the.
death of two, and possibly three per-.
sons. and the injury. of about ten.
others.
The bodies of the two men, which
have been found, were crushed to a.
pulp and were unacceptable. The.
check up of the time keeper will be.
the only means of acertaining who the
unfortunates are.
The most seriously injured are:
Martin Coyne. st. Paul, legs badly
crushed.
M. M. Hagen, Minneapolis, both
ankles broken.
Nels A. Anderson, residence I'M
known, both legs badly crushed.
Charles Erickson, Norway, legs and
chest crushed.
John Miller, residence unknown,
chest badly crushed.
Abraham Rogia, left side hurt and
legs crushed.
Parties arriving in Grand Forks
from the scene of the accident state
that it is impossible to tell just how
the other men escaped death or severe
injury, as there were forty men in
the car when the crash came.
The train on which the laborers
were, had stopped to allow them to
alight and do some work on putting
up snow fences. Just when the men
were getting off, extra freight No. 1901
crashed into it. The caboose was
telescoped into the passenger coach,
only about four feet of it not going
into the coach in which the men were.
The men in the rear were sent to the
other end Of the coach by the end Of
the caboose, and just how any of the
men escaped death or serious injury
is ineXplainable.
A third man is missing, and it is
claimed that his body lies between the
floors of the passenger coach and the
| caboose.
This afternoon, four of the men in
| jured were taken to Devils Lake,
where they were placed in a hospital.
The bodies of the two dead men were
taken to Lakota, and the inquest will
be held there on Monday.
At the time of the accident, severe
blizzard was raging, and it was I'm
possible to see any distance ahead of
the engine.

CHILL|NGWORTH IS
NOT DISCOURAGED

Two steamships of the Allen line
have been chartered to take more jap
anese to Vancouver. Senator Charles
Chillingworth says that Brazil alone is
willing to take 10000 as laborers. The
s. S. Indravelli is supposed to arrive
here on January % to take 600 Japs
to Vancouver. Two months later the
s. S. Dean of Ruthven will be ready
to take 1900 to Brazil Chillingworth
and S. K. Muriyama say these things
are so and display the contracts to
back their words.
Chillingwortn says that he and Muri-
yama were personally losers on the
expedition of the S. S. Kumeric from
here TO Vancouver with 11G0 Japanese.
Muriyama says it was through the
opposition of the Vancouver authori-
ties that he was unable to collect from
the japanese all the money that had
been advanced to them for the s25
head money which each was required
to put up to render them admissible
to Canada

FINE FIELD FOR

William Cluff Tells of the
Great Success of Island
Fruit.

William Cluff, of the wholesale gro
cery firm of William Cluff Company
which is one of the largest houses on
the Pacific Coast, having it's headquar-
ters in San Francisco and branches in
Oakland. Eureka, San Luis Obispo,
Santa Barbara and Ventura, leaves
this city today on the Siberia on a
trip around the world, accompanied
been here for the past two weeks on a
pleasure trip, and has combined little
business with his sightseeing tour. In
speaking of his trip and his impress
sions OF these islands yesterday, he
said:
In my trip around the world,
neither my wife nor 1 expect to find
any place in which We will have so
much pleasure as we have had in your
city. / had no idea that there was
anything of this kind to be found here
The people on the mainland and on
the Coast have no idea of the BEAU
ties of the Hawaiian Islands, or they
would flock here in great numbers. /
have made trip to the Island of Ha-
waii while here, and have enjoyed
every minute of my stay, from the
time we arrived on the Korea till to-
day, and will leave with regret that
we could not stay longer.
Il believe that diversified farming is
absolutely necessary to these islands. |
In this line L can not say too much |
of pineapples, which nay firm deals in (
very largely. and am also confident |
that coffee will become an important i
export, Notwithstanding the trouble /
which has been encountered. There will |
be a reaction in the coffee-producing |
business here. There are other crops !
which will do well here and are bound |
TO take hold and offer a chance for
the small farmer. Among these are
vanilla beans and cocoa, and there are
others which will also do well. In
rubber, you have an industry which,
while only in it's infancy, should be a
source of great wealth to the Terri
tory.

handling Hawaiian goods for only two
years, and in that time the trade has

"What is still more significant, is
the fact that the liquor press is howl
ing with rage and pain on account of
the success which has crowned our eff
forts for the cause of Temperance.
cit was only a short time ago when
! the men and women who made speeches
| for the temperance cause took their
| lives in their hands. Only nineteen
years ago in Connecticut, when I was
making speeches, it was the usual ex-
perience to be stoned out of town and
to have the ropes of the tent in which
I was speaking cut. My wife would
I patrol the crowd, clear-eyed brave
woman, to see that I was not assault
ed from behind and she alone was able
to overawe a dozen ruffians. And my
only offense was the making of prohi-
bition speeches.
"In the last Presidential campaign
in which ] was candidate, [ was able
to travel through the country in
special car, making speeches and some
times talking in the same towns as
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan, and often
talking to larger crowds and making
better speeches. We counted at that
time on polling vote of 100000 but
when the votes were counted we had
only 100000, which was a great dis
appointment. At that time I got a
letter from this same woman telling
me that I was trying to do too much.
1 attempted to kill the liquor traffic
and it was killing me, that I had made
her home hospital for drunkards, and
had deprived her of everything, and
never advanced step in the cause, or
saved a man from among those in whom
| had taken personal interest. She |
and would have it and that the churches |
would never fight the liquor interests. |
In closing she stated that she had just |
been watching the men coming from
work, each one to his home, and that |
she wanted me back to do the same. /
That she wanted the people in that part
of Chicago to know that she was neither
a divorced woman nor a widow.
''I replied that there was no chance
for argument. / had had small signs
of success but asked her should I come
home if she would be proud to point
me out saying: 'There is my husband
coming. He is a reformer and start
ed ont to kill the liquor trust but found
out that it was hard work and he is
not the kind of a reformer who sticks
to a hard task. -
'EI got an answer very quickly, tell
ng me never to come home except for
/ rest, that L might get back into
the fight once more. I kept on and

/ holding sessions at Waikane, on the
windward side of this island, and they
have returned to their homes in vari-
Gus parts of Oahu feeling that their
gathering was for great good and be-
lieving it to have been one of the most
pleasant save for some heavy rain,
ever held In tallyhos and wagonettes
and other vehicles the delegates jour-
neyed to Waikane from Waialua, ka-
huku, Eva, Waianae, Pearl City, Ho-
nolulu and in-between points, and they
returned Monday evening and yester-
day afternoon by the same means.
The sessions commenced on Friday.
The proceedings were chiefly in Ha-
waiian, and where English speakers
held forth their remarks were inter-
preted into the native tongue. Mod
orator Poepoe engineered the events or
the convention excellently. On Fri
day Rev. ]. p. Erdman. Rev. II. w.
Chamberlain, Rev. O. H. Gulick, Rev.
H. X Poepoe, Rev. w. K. Poai ana
Rev. Doremus Scudder addressed the
delegates. Moses K. Nakuina inter-
preting. Frank Scudder, he new sec
retary of the Hawaiian Board, also
talked. The work of the association,
the Sunday schools, Christian En-
deavor and other branches Of religious
activity were reviewed.
On Saturday a conference was held
and in the evening the Christian En-
deavorers got together.
On Sunday, in the morning, tnere
was a splendid sunday school exhlol-
ton, in which the children drllleo,
sang, recited from the scriptures anu
made little speeches. The children had
come from all over the island and were
led in their exercises by their super
intendent.
John G. Woolley delivered a tenn
perance address which covered "iue
field of morals and encouragement "
old and young. Nakuina interpreted
The remodeled church at Walkane
was to have been dedicated on gun
dav. but the rain fell so heavily tha'
tho services were deferred until Mon
dav. when they took place between
q. m. and noon.
John Martin was among the speak
.rs and talked interestingly for the
cause of temperance. Each morning
Of the convention the Christian En-
5eayorers greeted the rising sun, sing
ng hymns and praying, somewhat as
ancient Hawaiians in the same spot
we're in the habit of meeting the sun
light with religious exercises.
The Rev. o. H. Gulick, with his per-
,act knowledge of Hawaiian and Eng
isb was a most valuable asset. Mucn
vas said in praise of the pastor anu
