Work on M. & |. Extension.

Big Fork Compass: The con-
tinued sloppy weather has been
bad for railroad work, as it has
tended to discourage the la aborers
in wet places and men have been
quitting almost as fast as they
could be brought in. However,
Dempsey & Dougherty still
claim that they will have the
grading to the border by July
1st. They claim the grading
will lie finished to Littlefork by
the end of this month. At the
other end of the line the con-
tractors have a large crew of
teams and scrapers at work, in
addition to the section men. The
steel has been laid beyond Bear
river, to where the boarding cars
have been transferred from Big
Falls. The crossing of the Little
fork will be over a temporary
pile bridge whic b will require
little time for construction.

RED LAKE ROAD CLAIMS
THAT RATES ARE TOO Low
State Railroad Commission Will Hold
Hearing on the Claim
May 27th.

St. Paul Pioneer Press: A
hearing to determine whether
the commodity rates established
by the last legislature are reason
able as affecting the Minneapolis.
Red Lake & Manitoba railroad
will be held at the Office of the
state railroad commission on
May 9th. The road has asked
for an order exempting it from
the rates made by the legisla-
ture. The law fixing the rates
specifically provided that where
the railroad commission found
the rates unreasonable it could
raise or lower them.
The road in it's complaint
states that from January 18 to
March 81 it's gross earnings were
S5,27l.73, and it's operating ex
penses, 81, ,777.93. It has COM
piled with the law reducing pas
senger fares to 2 cents and any
further reduction in the income.

ENTRY JUNE 10 FOR AN
ISLAND IN RAINY RIVER
Register and Receiver Of cass Lake
Land Office Will Receive Appli-
cations.

Slowly, but surely, the.
''powers that be" of this
"great and glorious republic"
are opening to settlement the re
naming government lands that
have been tied up several years,
for one cause or ano1her.
Along the line of giving land
for fling purposes, the general
land Office at Washington has
completed the survey of an island
in the Rainy River and will re-
ceive applications for entry of
lands in the island, at the Cass
Lake land Office, on Wednesday,
June 19.
The register and receiver of
the Cass Lake land Office have
sent out the following notice rela.
tive to the island:
"Notice is hereby given that an
island in the Rainy River in frac-
tional Sections and 10, Town
ship 159 n, R. 25 W. of the 5th
P. M, has been surveyed. That
the approved plat Of survey of
such island will be fled in this
office on Wednesday, the 10Th
day OF June, 1907, at 9 o'clock
a. M; that on and after said date,
we will be prepared to receive ap-
plications for the entry of lands in
such island, which lands are de-
scribed as Lot 5, Section 8 and
Lot 5, Section 10, Township 159

More About Two Cent Rate.

''Buy ticket to the last sta
tion in Minnesota and pay the
conductor the fare for the rest o1
the trip With this injunction
an old traveller who was at the
Markham hotel yesterday comes
to the aid of passengers who
wish to take advantage of the
new 2 cent rate in Minnesota on
through business and don't know
how to doit. The through rate
from a Minnesota point to some
point outside the state is still
based on the three cent a mile IN
Minnesota, because the railroads
haven't had time to get out their
tariff sheets.
All sorts Of stions are being
asked of ticket agents since the
new rate went into effect, which
shows that the travelling public
is trying to take advantage of the
new rate and doesn't know how
to get at it.
One of the series of incon-
gruities resulting from the cir.
cumstances that the new 2 cent
rate went into effect in Mime
sofa in a hurry is the fact that a
man can't buy through ticket
from Mendoza to Detroit,or from
any point in Minnesota on an.
other railroad line.
The tariffs which have been
thrown together hastily by the
railroads gives rates only be-
tween points local to each line.
Where stations at transfer points
are long distances apart the
passenger must assume the cost
of transferring baggage and the
troubleref rechecking it.
Railway men say all these diff
culties will be righted in time;
when the rate clerk can get out
the tariffs, and when the rate
men have lined up the interstate
rates with the Minnesota rate,
the present heavy additional cost
of interstate tickets will be saved
to the passengers.

Physical Valuation of Railroads.

The objections to this plan may be
summarized under two heads: first,
that the valuations are in themselves
meaningless; second, that an attempt
is being made to correlate two mat
tiers having no connection with each
other. 1t is usually possible, though
difficult to find out what the cuts, fills,
trestles, and tunnels of a railroad
cost, or what it would cost to replace.
them; it can also be determined that
certain new work resulting in an
abandonment of the old has been
done and that both old and new con
stitute proper capital charge. Real
estate and buildings can be appraised.
and we can know, with tolerable re-
liability, what it would cost to re-
build the transportation machine that,
is before US. But that cost bears no
special relation to the value of the
property. The value of a railroad
viewed as single asset, is its earn
ing power capitalized, and nothing
else whatever. Reduplicate the main
lines of the New York, New Haven 4.
Hartford in the Rocky Mountains.
and you will certainly double their So
called physical value if you measure
that value by cost of construction
Against the tremendous asset repre- d,
senting securities sold to pay the
Dill, and you will have a perfect bal
ance sheet; also a company that can
not possibly remain solvent, for the
earnings in the mountain country will
be much smaller than they are in New
england as the construction cost viii
be greater! Yet this reductio ad ab-
surdum is the valuation Plan in a
nutsheil.-Ray Morris in Atlantic.

Increase of Mental Maladiee.

Through advances in surgical and
medical science, more and more dis
eases are found to BE preventible,
while more and more of those which
used to be thought incurable are
shown to be capable of treatment, so
that the average of health rises with
that OF the duration of life. One draw
back, however, is serious enough to
be specially mentioned. Lunacy is in
creasing in all countries which keep a
statistical record of mental maladies,
and the increase is too large to be ex-
planned merely by the fact that rec
ords are now more accurate. Unless
this fact can be accounted for by the
abuse of intoxicants. an abuse which
seems to be rather decreasing than
increasing, it is ominous, because 1t
seems to imply that there are factors
in modern life which tend to breed
disorders in the brain. But we have
not sufficient data for positive con-
illusions. In this connection a still more
serious question arises.-James Bryce
in Atlantic.

m.nal room the cables are broken
apart and distributed"
If you visit this part of a city ex-
lays" that operate the electric lamp
signals in the switchboard These are
enclosd in numbered japanned boxes
arranged tier upon tier, each subscri-
ber's line having its own relay-a del
icately adjusted little device that
works with wonderful precision, its
change the first things to catch your
eye will be two long, narrow racks of
iron, reaching almost from the floor to
the cealing, their ladder-like shelves
crossed and recrossed with part
colored cords. One of these racks is
known as the main distributing
frame" and is the means of connecting
the outside circuits with the proper
terminal points in the multiple" of
the switchboard through which the
operators call whomever you may ask
for. The other is the intermediate
frame" where connection is made with
the circuits to the answering terminals
in the board. At the outer side OF
the main frame are the heat coils
little cylinders of metal held in
place by brass springs which would
expand and drop out, thus breaking
| the circuit, If an overload of electricity
got onto the outside wires from some
high tension line, power light, trac
ton. or whatnot The heat coils thus
protect the sensitive and costly appa
ratus OF the exchange against injury
by foreign currents.
At the other side of the main frame
are the functions of the switchboard
circuits. Between the two sides are
flexible Jumper" wires by means of
which any inside circuit and any out.
side circuit may be connected into
one simply by soldering the opposite
ends of the same Jumper to both.
There are thousands of these tiny
soldered connections in the main
frame and thousands OF others in the
