"Under Southern Skies"

The opera house was we'll
filled last evening to witness
the play written by Lottie Blair
Parker and entitled as above.
The characters were we'll pro-
trayed and everyone decided
that the .black face artists"
were the hit of the evening. In
fact the whole company played
their parts we'll. The scene was
laid in the South about 1875
and was full of thrilling
climaxes. Let us hope that
Manager Smith will bring
more plays of this sort to Mis-
souri, Valley.

from Council Bluffs this morn
ing to attend the Farmers
club meeting at Rev. Williams
home.
This is one of the regular
sales day at the Robinson barn
and a large crowd is present
and everything is selling we'll.
The day is certainly an ideal
one for buyers to come in and
is in striking contrast with Mr..
Robinson's first sale day, when
the weather was too cold for
driving.
The only fault we can find
with this kind Of weather is the
fact that if it continues, trees
are liable to begin budding and
a frost would put them out OF
commission for the coming
year.

Omaha passenger this morning.


The Chicago, Rick Island
and Pacific railroad has given
up the contract for carrying
the mail between Chicago and
Omaha as stated some time
ago. The Burlington has again
won out and will carry Uncle
Sans letters from the east.
The Rock Island had a train on
that put the mail in Omaha
nearly an hour earlier than the
Burlington, which was the rea-
son of their securing the con-
cession, but evidently the two
roads got togsther and squared
things up.

SNOW ROLLERS OF VERMONT.
Simple Device I'm Use for Keepina
Highways PassabIe All Winter.

Simple Device In Use for Keepina
Highways PassabIe All Winter.
Snow rollers are used extensively In
Vermont and other States of the north
ern border, says the Springfield Repub-
lican. The snow roller Is no new con-
trivance, but has been in use in YER
mont for many years. Nearly all Of
the Vermont townships own several.
1t has never been displaced by more
modern device for opening the winter
roads, and has proved to be not only
the easiest and cheapest means Of over
coming drifts, but also Is producer of
better winter roads.
One used in the town of East Hard
wick has been in service for twenty
years. 1t has rollers, both Of which
are six feet in diameter, each nine feet
wide with a space of about nine inches
between. Thus 1t will be seen that the
whole roller presents total width to
the roadway Of nearly twenty feet,
enough to make ample room for traffic
by going over a roadway once. The
rollers are usually drawn by four heavy
horses and are taken on circuits that
vary from six to nine miles in length
OF course the rollers cannot sur
mount all drifts, and the men who &C
company them are often obliged to ge
down and shovel. But even then tn,
final results are way and beyond thos'
obtained by the pillow method. TIL,
rollers, heavy in themselves, are Otter
ballasted, and they pack the snow dow
into an even roadway that Is withou
ruts and Is not cut up easily. AS tn
winter progresses, with alternate thaw
and storms, and each succeeding snow
fall Is packed down by the rollers,
road of remarkable durability results
These hard, frozen roadways resist tn
coming Of spring for long time, pro
longing the shedding" through the su
gar season, and obviating to a larg
degree the usual bad going Of spring
The roads last so long that when the,
finally do succumb it Is rapidly. OWN
to the advanced sun, and the mud an
slush Is soon gone.

Crowded.

Secretary Taft was. on one occa-

Is gigantic, and the Senator is taller
and weighs more than any member of
the Senate.
While these two statesmen were in
earnest conversation, an aggressive pol
itician endeavored to enter the room,
but an alert secretary politely inter
fered.
"What are they doing in there" ask
ed the politician, inquisitively.
This impertinent question nettled the
secretary, and he answered, tersely:

In the Cape of Good Hope colony
many of the short railroad branches
and extensions do not pay on account
of OK wagon competition. In the report
for the year 1905, recently issued, the
traffic manager of one Of the lines re-
ports in regard to new nineteen-mile
branch that as there was very plenti-
full supply of wagons and an abundant
supply of grass during the season OK
wagon rates ruled low and the railroad
secured little general traffic.
