The boarder who was month behind
with the landlady was surprised at the
size of the heap of mashed potatoes on
the plate the girl had brought him.
He was even more surprised when he
found folded paper In the center Of the
heap.
But he didn't open 1t. He knew what
It was.
Carefully wiping It with his napkin, he
put it in his vest pocket and went ahead
calmly with his dinner.

Badly TIED u.

Prince Albert, sask., April 9Th. The
Canadian Northern took another train
south from here Sunday, but like that
which left on Thursday last, it was un.
able to get through and many Of the
passengers returned to the city after
reaching Warman. They are naturally
very hostils about the @. N. r. There
are snowdrifts five and six feet deep
both east and west of Warman on the
9. N. r. main line, and without snow
pillow and with only inefficient engines
the railway is badly tied up.
r. b. Chisholm, mayor of Battleford,
was operated on for appendicitis at War

home on special G. N. r. trainl fol-

been stalled ever since: and it became
necessary to operate without further de-
lay.

Warming to Immigrants.

Railway conditions at Winnipeg, and
north of that place were in a very bad
condition up to this week and FRONT the
weather since are probably not much
better now. Last week there were, &C.
cording to the Winnipeg Tribune, some
thing like 200 cars of immigrants effects
standing on the tracks at that place
with no immediate prospects of move
ment to destination on account of the
roads being blocked by snow. In these
cars were thousands of head of live
stock some of which at that time had
been in the cars fifteen days without ex-
ercise. Water for them had toxbe
brought by hand about quarter of a
mile and hay cost 1924 ton. The i'm
migrants held massmeeting and ap-
pealed to the city council, but the man
ager of the G. n. r. could give nothing
more definite than that the company
would do the best that they could to
move the cars. Since then there have
been two. severe billiards. and it is, pro-
liable that conditions have not greatly
improved. Intending settlers from this
side should satisfy themselves as to the
conditions there before loading cars
here. The G. N. r. seems willing, to
receive all the cars that are coming
without reference to consequences to
the people that come and can't go for
ward. The railway people are not to
blame for the phenomenal weather con-
ditions but they are crimlnally blame
able for permitting helpless people to
come there until they can take care of
the traffic.

The Great Northern had serious ac-
cident near Bartlett a short distance
west Of Grand Forks on Sunday night
by which seven persons were killed and
several badly injured. That section Of
the road west of Grand Forks seems to
be in bad shape or else has a hoodoo, as
several accidents have occurred there
within short time. Besides this the
Great Northern seems to be losing it's
proverbial luck, as lately the accidents
are usually fatal to some of the passen-
gers.
