Railroad Legislation.

/. And it came to pass that in
the third year Of the reign Of Abra-
ham, surnamed Lincoln, there
was gathered together all the rail-
road men Of that nation.
2. And they conversed among
themselves, saying, If we shall de-
eide among US to issue mileage
books to all printers in exchange
for advertising space, then will
the mouths Of the printers ever be
closed. And after this manner we
can control all legislation.

passes to the legislators and there
by secure their votes after the
manner of our own choice.

Theodore The Theatrical.

The Presidents recent bear hunt
was nothing more or less than one
of his theatrical stunts, intended
to impress certain element, and
make him strong in his candidacy
for reelection. 1t will. doubtless,
greatly impress the ignorant class,
which thinks the word "bears"
means grizzlies. 1t doubtless pic
lures the President in hand-to-
hand conflicts with the fierce and
man-pursuing cold Eph" who
often weighs more than a thous-
and pounds. The reality is, that
Roosevelt boldly fares forth to
hunt what is left of the tribes of
two wholly different bears-the
brown bear and the little black
bears of the Southern cane brakes,
little creatures who live in constant
fear of death at the hands of that
animal that calls itself humane
and considerate of all kinds of suf-
fering-man. These little animals,
most of them no bigger than a
good sized dog, have been known
to give battle to dogs when COR
nered and forced to defend their
lives, but are otherwise quite
harmless. They want nothing so
much as to get as far as they can
from that kind and loving fellow
creature-man. They live on
whatever they can find, being
omnivorous. 1t was one of these
shy creatures that was driven up
against Roosevelt on his recent
trip. And it was a mother bear,
whose death leaves cubs some
where to die of slow starvation.
The papers announce that Roose-
velt has slaughtered eleven bears
since he has been President, the
largest weighing $50 pounds,
which, while it may fill a few sober
people with sense of absurdity
rather than admiration at such
prowess, are at the same time sure
that his latest mighty and daring
feat in that line-the slaughter of
a harmless female with young,
which are left to grieve for a
mother who does not come while
they slowly starve to death-fully
sustains the reputation of man for
kindness, humanity" and consid-
Grafton for the weak or helpless.

Fifteen Years Ago.

A young man near Casey who
does not believe in patronizing
home industries, recently sent to
Sears, Roebuck Il Co., for pair
of trousers. In the pocket of the
pants he found the following note:
"Should this fall in the hands of
a good looking young man who
desires to correspond with lady
of sweet disposition, kindly ad-
dress" The aforesaid mail order
man promptly sent a letter to the
address and a few days ago re-
ceived the following reply; "Sir,
my wife has just received a letter
from you, addressed in her maiden
name. Fifteen years ago when
she worked in a sweat shop, she
might have written that note. She
is the mother of six children and
my lawful wife. If you do not cut
out writing to her l will take a trip
to your town and make you look
like two cents worth of dog meat"

Texas State Fair.
DALLAS, TEXAS, OCT. "a, 'O7.

State Fair is being held here in
Dallas. 1t lasts two weeks, and,
like everything else in Texas, is
big. To-day is Dallas day. The
schools have a holiday the BUTCH
er, the baker and candlestick
maker are all off, and it is easy to
believe they all went to the Fair.
Such crowds and crowds of peo-
ple-but you all know what a
crowd is at a state fair.
In going from the main entrance
to the auditorium we pass the
county exhibits. Cotton is con-
spicuous in most of the booths.
Immense sweet potatoes, sugar
cane and corn. One watermelon
was marked "a pounds.
The fine arts interested me.
There were some large and fine
painting, but the fancy work! A
crocheted counterpaine made of
silkateen Was valued at fifty dol
lars. A point lace handkerchief
at S25. Table scarfs in various
kinds of embroidery, in hardanger
work and Mexican drawn work.
The most exquisite embroidery in
colors, beautiful silk quilts, dainty
handmade infants dresses, not
to speak of hand-painted china.
In one glass case were sold"
things: A powder horn used in
1921, a Bible marked 1900 years
DID," an arithmetic ninety years
old, and other books over one
hundred years old. Samples"
such as our grandmothers made
a doll thirty-eight years old, a
skirt made before the war by one
who raised the cotton, picked it,
seeded, carded, spun and wove it.
The horse races are said to be
fine, but l did not see them. The
usual number of fakes and side
shows from the "pike," but I did
not see them either. A palmist
was strong attraction to me for ]
am much interested in palmistry,
but she was too far down the pike
for me to walk.
The large auditorium is filed
three times a day. Seymour's
Band furnishes the music. 1t is
very good indeed. Some of the
numbers to-day were, "Tone Pic
tures," "North and South, 4" cyan
kee Doodle" "Dixie" and all the
popular old songs were blended.
AS they played Dixie, lady mem
Der of the band waved Confed-
crate flag, and was cheered Justify.
After "Suwanee River" and some
thing else, they played "Three
Cheers for the Red, White and
Blue" as another girl waved the
stars and stripes. 1t is needless
to say that was cheered.
A free vaudeville follows the
band concert. A very little vaude-
vile will go a long way with me,
but part of this was fine. The
acrobats were wonderful. Two
trained roosters were morvelous
exhibition of their masters pa
tience in training them, and the
''monkey circus' was entertain
| ing.
And so the day closed for me,
evidently for many more, for the
street cars were loaded to the
utmost at six o'clock, but you
would scarcely miss any from the
grounds now at nine o'clock.
After years residence in Texas,
| feel quite at home, but | do not
forget nor cease to love the dear
Arcadia Valley and friends there.
One day there, with the blue hills
on every side, the brilliant autumn
leaves and the fresh county air
would be worth far more to me
than all / have seen to-day, "but
such is life."
Very best wishes to all my
friends. SARAH F. RUSSELL.

versely to us? Did not our scribes
and chief counselors approve all
laws that were to come up for pas
sage at this term? Then how doth
it happen that this alien law COM
eth up unexpectedly to us?
%. Then again were their chief
priests and scribes called together
and consulted as to the best way
to avoid this laws.
20. After some argument the
chief of the railroad owners arose
and said, Behold, the state laws
are not to our liking. Let US ap-
peal to the national laws which
are principally in charge of men
who were appointed with our ap-
proval.
80. So it was decided that the
federal courts should have juris-
diction over them because they
also had Jurisdiction over the fed
eral courts.
81. In the meantime the news
paper men continued to demand
many things. Among the things
they demanded were better rail-
roads; shorter work hours for the
slaves that belonged to the rail-
roads; lessening of the speed with
which trains were allowed to run
over the tracks; and many others.
All these and more did they de-
mand.
81. And it came to pass that
after about eight months of such
conduct on the part of the news
paper men that the railroads sent
broadcast through the land, one to
every printer located along the
railroad, circulars asking for rates
for advertising, for both display
and reading notices. Y
33. The chief priests and scribes
had made second rea ding of the
decision of the interstate COM
merce commission and had found
therein clause that would permit
the railroads to issue mileage
books to the newspaper men, as
before, good only in the state
wherein they were issued.
81. There was a ready response
from all the printers, and from
that time on there ceased the clam
or for lower fares, better railroads,
shorter work hours, and other
things.
35. At the next general meeting
of the newspaper men they all joy
fully displayed theirmileage books
and said, We are again on top.
36. The association was attend
ed by all members because they
could use their mileage books and
save the fare. In this way each
member was able to save about
ten shekels of silver.
81. And the fact that the other
expenses Of the trip, being hotel
bills, tips, wine and cigars, and
devers other things, cost them two
hundred shekels did not deter
them in any manner from going.

WORST STORM
IN HISTORY

First Vice-president Louis w. Hill
of the Great Northern was one of the
prominent officials of the road in the
city the fore part of the week. Mr..
Hill, in discussing the situation on
his road with the newspaper men CT
this city said: 1T is a phenomenal
winter, the worst in the history of the
road; it is terrible. Our management,
however, is doing everything within
the power of man to accomplish the
first three necessary movements in
their order: First, the providing Of
fuel to the suffering districts; next
the movement Of passengers and fol-
lowing that the movement of perisha-
BILE freight. We are snow bound all
along the line from Grand Forks to
the Cascades and Ill freights have
been pulled off the main line, the To-
comotives being used in bucking
snow. Coal cars are being attached
to passenger trains as heroic meas
ure of relief The worst tieup report
ed to me is at Browning station on
the Blackfeet reservation. Nothing has
been able to move either way ON
this point for six days"

STOCK IS
SUFFERING

Abe Crossen, the we'll known ranch
er who owns a large ranch about
twenty miles northwest of Havre,
came in Monday forenoon from his
ranch, he breaking the first trail in
from that section since the big storm
Of last week. Mr.. Crossen went to
Harlem or the afternoon train, in
quest of hay, and IS in hopes that he
can make a purchase of hay there
and have it shipped to Gildford, SO
that he can relieve the shortage of
fodder which seems certain to come
to ranchers in this section.
"uniess ! can get hay to my ranch
within two weeks, l will loose at
least 3,00U sheep" were his words in
discussing the situation with a we'll
known business man of EIayre, Mon
day. According to Mr.. Crossen, his
supply oe hay will not last longer
than two weeks and his brother is
equally short Of hay at his ranch
| near h,ni.
Harlem is the center Of the hay
district Of the valley and it is re-
! ported that there is good supply Of
it on hand there, so that if ship
ments can be made, the situation will
be relieved.
Mr. Crossen states that cattle a"e
coming in from the north and hanging
about the ranches In his section, Their
crys for food being pitiful in the ex-
treme, and it is Impossible to feed
them and not deny the stock of the
ranchers. Cattle which came in but
| a week ago in good flesh are now
but mass of skin and bones and
it is certain that the loss to stock
will be great.
I Advices from Billings state that
much apprehension exists among
stockmen. One prominent sheepman is
credited with saying that he regards
it very serious, and that losses in
sheep will be great, especially in east
ern Montana. Even on ranges near
| Billings losses are almost certain to
result. In the extreme eastern por-
ton of the state snow is deep. An
imals cannot get food on the ranges
nor can sufficient quantities of feed
be take: 20 them. Snow plowing is
being done near Billings, but it is
| slow work, and in the face of such a
storm is Intellectual. The outlook is
gloomy.

Big Banks at Browning. West of Cut
Bank. Broken Thr ough, Opening Up
Road from St. Paul to Coast Fif-
teen Trains T1to Havre Within
"a Hours. Heroic Work of
Men agd Rotaries at
Last Successful

The big drifts of SHOW tie gorges
of the mountains at Brow ling, west
of Cut Bank, which have d2moralized
traffic on the main line of the Great
Northern for nearly a week, gave way
to the combined onslaughts Of men
and machinery Tuesday and wit lin
the next "a hours after the word was
received here that the blockade had
been raised, no less than fou ten
trains, some delayed west CT Cut
Bank and some from the east, came
over the main line into Havre. It w!
a continual blast of whistles and roar
OF escaping steam as the big engines
pulled into the city, looking like mes
sengers from the icy north, ice ard
snow covering nearly every portion
of the great steel frames of the loco
motives and the cars themselves be-
ing one great coating of ice and snow.
From all reports, the conditions at
the point in the mountains where the
drifts filled the tracks and complete
" checked off the traffic have been
something desperate. The big ro.a
went out from Havre Tuesday morn
