PIONEERS. IN IOWA
Experienced Self Same Conditions in Early
Days as Those of Nortf, Dakota Dur
ing Severe Weather of Winter
Now Drawing to Close.

An Iowa friend favors The Tribune
with recent copy of the Upper East
Des Moines Republican of recent date,
published at Algona. To-. city whence
comes many of the best people now re-
sident in the Bowbells country, with an
article marked to draw our attention as
showing conditions under which the
early settlers of that now great state
suffered in the early days, paralleling
present conditions here with such a
truthfulness and exactness that we
deem the article we'll worthy of repro
duction in the columns of The Tribune
as a fitting rebuke to the croakers who
are want to make believe that such con:
ditions were and are alone native to the
state of North Dakota. Following is
the article from the Republican.
We are saying nothing of the wisdom
of the hegira into the land of the Da-
kotas. 1t would do no good if by good
is to be meant the keeping of people out
of there. How singular it is that young
men in this section which has itself
been reclaimed from snow waste and
blizzard are not satisfied to stay here
or to 60 south or southwest. Why do
not the milder climates attract them?
Is it to be counted as cause or effect
that through all times has identified
the strong and virile peoples with
fierce climates and the weak and de-
cadent with tropical.and semi-tropical?
No matter. AS the boys desert the
furnace-heated room and seek the storm
and wallow in the snow, these settlers
of the northern wilderness have gone
into the teeth of the blizzard, known as
such since it was first heard of, and
there they seem bound to stay. Some
of these new settlers are sons Of men
who drove OK teams into. Iowa in the
fifties in the face of blizzards as dan
gerous. Our country is under the
greatest obligation to the men who
have pioneered into the west since our
first settlers encountered what was con-
sidered the most inhospitable Of eli
mates on the Atlantic coast. There
has been a succession of pioneerings
which have been the marchings for
ward Of settlement and civilization, and
these pioneerings have been the waking
Of the greatest nation Of the earth.
Some Of the new settlers in the Da-
kotas were surprised when after four
or five open winters the terrible storm
and cold of last December came upon

To The Bowbe.ls Tribune:
Well, here we are in the last week of
the official life of the short session of
Congress and the prophesy made at the
commencement has been fully carried
out. The appropriation bills have been
put in shape for passage, and THAT
will be about all!'' Individual members
and minority combinations have shout
ed about proposed reforms, but with
little effect. Our statement of the past
week should not be taken too seriously,
and that was that there would be a de-
ficit in the revenues of the. Govern
ment of 500, 600, 900. That is ''killer"
to the tariff revisions. Yet the coun-
try will have tariff revision, and that
all too sssoon. There is no man that
Roosevelt can place in the Presidents
chair strong enough: to Withstand the
growing sentiment for revision of the:
tariff, and within four years the matter
will come up for consideration. Then
watch out! Manufacturing today is be-
ing overdone in many lines Of trade,
and with tariff -tinkering on hand the
Captains of finance" will go slow for
a year or so, and this will include the
shutting down of some factories. When
the newspapers are giving prominence
to the closing of these factories, the
thought-suggestion will be conveyed to
other manufactures, and action thereon
will converge into one of the biggest
panics ever know in the country. Of
course this is all bosh! The writer is
an alarmist! Anyone today who can
put two and two together is an alarm

The matter of the pushing to the
front of a particularly intelligent clerk

Representative Adam Bede said at a
recent dinner of the Momus Club: !

The Government Printing Office is a
beehive during the sessions of Con-
gress, there being necessity for quick
action during the closing hours of the
short session particularly. The acts of
Congress are printed from seven to
twenty times, the last impression being
on parchment to receive the signature
of the President. All bills likely to be
reported, are kept standing" by the
printing Office, and when they are sent
to the Office the type is quickly placed
in chases and sent to the press room.
The large appropriation bills are print
ed in the enrolled form in advance of
the action of the conferees, and mes
senger conveys the copy from the
capitol in piece-meal and the changes
reprinted. In this way the committee
frequently receives the completed en-
rolled bill of several hundred pages be-
fore the members of the conference
committee have left the room after de-
Gliding the last paragraph.
The Government printing service is
one of the most complete and satisfact-
ory in Washington. The rate Of pay Of
employees is low compared to the COM
pensation of other government workers,
but this matter will receive the atten-
ton of Public Printer Stilling before he
finishes his term of Office. He is plac-
ing the Office on commercial basis, in
stalling cost and audit system to as
certain any ''leaks," and turning the
manufacturing departments into vast
machine shops. Within few months
practically all the composition will be

position and the former handling all the
tabular and intricate copy sent in by
the scientific sharps of the different
bureaus. The Lanston machine
casta $50 perfect type minute,
and has a capacity Of 225 diff
ferent characters on the keyboard The
main objection is that the Government
pays machine operators 40 more than

getting the maximum product Of the
machines. However, the employees

Entertainment a Success.

The entertainment by the children of

Prof. Simmons at the opera house last
Saturday night called out good house
and all expressed surprise and pleasure
at the manner in which the Young

sor certainly accomplished wonders in
bringing the youngsters to such perfec-
ton within the three or four days in
which he had them preparing for the
entertainment.

Lovers of horses may be delighted
with the distinguished genealogy which
geologists have completed for that ia
vored animal At least the names of
the horses ancestors look very distin-
guished. Here is the list with the geo.
logical eras in which each lived. as ar
ranged by Professor ". \. Rice: The
line of descent begins with Hyracothe-
rum and Eohppus of the lower eocene
age. Then follow Protorohippus and
Orohippus Of the middle eoeene: Epi-
hippus of the upper eocene: Mesohip-
pus of the oligocene: Anchitherium of
the lower miocene; Parahippus. Proto-
hippus and Pliohippus of the middle
and upper miocene. and finally Equus
of the pliocene and the quaternary,
from which the modern horse directly
descends. Hipparion and Hippidium
represented ancient side branches that
died without descendants.

News of the Railroads
Local and General.

on April /, 1906, the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN owned EOS, 3S9 cars, and on April L
this year, 223,743, a gain of 1854
cars. The location charts also show
that on April l, 1906, there were 63,-
SO Pennsylvania system cars on the
lines of other railroads, and on April
1, 1907, this number had increased to
S0,302, indicating loss to the Pennsyl-
vania of 16,492 cars On April 1, 1906,
there were 1868 foreign" cars on
its lines, but this number had on April
1, 1907, decreased to 54,514, loss of
2149 to the Pennsylvania. 1t thus APP
pears that the net loss in one year
amounts to 1852 cars, 2S7 more than
the total additional equipment of the
Pennsylvania system in that period.
The company is thus 2S7 cars weaker
in equipment than it was a year ago,
in spite of its liberal expenditures for
additions.

employ a physician for every slight
ailment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to neg
lect them, as so slight an injury as
the scratch of a pin has been known
to cause the loss of a limb Hence
every man must from necessity be his
own doctor for this class of ailments.

Work This Time.

ANOTHER PLAN OF WEIGHING, TO
BE CONDUCTED IN THE POSTOF-
FICES, WILL BE iNAUGURATED
JULY 1.

Government weighing Of the mails at
the local Pennsylvania station Will end
at midnight, Tuesday, one hundred and
five days having been consumed. The
weighing this year has been decided
" strenuous business as it is said the
amount weighed in Richmond this year
.is twenty-five per cent greater than
that weighed at the last time four
years ago. The weighing has kept a
large corps of men busy practically all
.of the time since it started. The
amount of mail transferred from one
train to another showed an exception
ally heavy increase over that four
years ago, while mails in and out of
Richmond, also showed an increase.
All men who have been employed as
mail weighers both at the local sta
ton and on all trains running out of
Richmond, will cease their work
Tuesday night.
The commission appointed by the
last United States congress. to place
the postoffice on a paying basis, will
however inaugurate weighing of the
mails on July 1. and this will continue
for six months The work, however
will not necessitate the hiring of gov
eminent weighers, as all weighing will
be done by the clerks in the postoffices
all over the country. Each pound of
mail going out of the local office will
be weighed by the employees, in addi-
tion to the other work they have to
perform. The task will be no small
one and will be a burden on the Shout
ders of the local clerks.
The new weighing will be inaugural
ed to determine the weights of all
classes of mails handled by the postof-
flee department, with the probable
view of adjusting the postage rates
that the department may be conducted
on a paying basis, or at least be self
sustaining.

MccIure's Summer Reading.

The summer numbers of Mcclure s
will contain an array of entertaining
reading that is particularly adapted to
the season From an editorial an
nouncement we find that there are TO
be several new features presented in
early numbers. Among them the most
noteworthy i'm promise as shown by
the first paper in the June number,
are the Ellen Terry Memories This
is no formal autobiography. The por-
tions to be published from time to
time deal with separate events of Miss
Terry's life. Into the fifty years
which have elapsed between her en-
trance on the stage to the wonderful
Jubilee celebration of last year, that
crowned Miss Terry's fiftieth year on
the stage, are crowded some OF the
most fascinating memories: but it is
the peculiar merit of Miss Terrys rec
objections that, more than any descrip-
ton. they suggest her own delight
full personality, her vivacity and the
exquisite feminine quality which is
inherent I'm every part she acts.
The fiction for the summer prom
ises to be a better feast than Nc
Clure's have ever before given. There
are to be stories by three new writ
ers. Mary S. Watts, VIII Adams, and
Lucy Pratt. There are, also, stories
by such well-known writer's as Joseph
Conrad, Henry c. Rowland, Villa ST.
bert Gather, Viola Rosevoro. These
stories will be illustrated by such art
lists as F. Walter Taylor, James Mont
gomery Flagg. Sigismund de Ivanows-
XII, Arthur I. Kellar. F. d. Steele, Blu
menschein and other successful illus
traitors.
