REDUCED RATES
FOR BIG CIRCUS
Railroads Recognize the
Magnitude of Norris
& Rowe

During the past season Norris &
Rowe were oten commended for their
successful efforts in promoting cheap
found-trip rates for excursions TO
their all-new big shows. 1t enables
those living some distance from the
scene Of the exhibition to attend the
circus at the same cost as to those
living in the town where the exhibi-
lions took place.
The railway people were quick to
respond to the request of the circus
men for reduced fares for the round
trip. with ticket to the shows, and
innovation was satisfactory to all
concerned. 1t enables those living at
a distance to come to town to attend
to necessary shopping and at the same
time enjoy well-deserved holiday.
therefore the local merchants were
benefited as well as the Snowman.
For the present tour Of the Greater
Norris & Rowe circus, C. /. Norris
will act as special traffic and excur-
sion manager and devote his entire
time to this department alone.
1t will be his constant effort to ob-
tain reduced ound-trip rates for those
living away rom the towns in which
his circus will exhibit
The dates of the running of the
trains and the half-fare concessions
will be announced In ample time for
all to make the necessary arrange
ments. The seasons tour has been
so arranged that there win be no
doubt of the shows early arrival in
every town.
This will enable the parade to start
on it's advertised time promptly every
day. Everyone wants to see the cir
Gus parade, and Norris & Rowe have
made IT a glittering feature this year
The big shows will exhibit at Lew
iston wednesday, May is.

HEARD NO VOICE
FOR 8 MONTHS
T. Beletski Returns from
Mountains Loaded
With Furs

Kooskia, Idaho. May 11.-Theo Be-
letsh has returned from the vicinity
of Graves Peak with his winters
catch of furs. He says 1t has been
nine months since he has seen man.
He was entirely alone during this
time, his dog being the only compan-
ion.
on his way out he camped one night
in one of Beaver Jacks (John Ull-
ery) cabins, but saw no signs Of life.
Beletski also called at one of Charley
Stanley's cabins, but found nothing
to show that Stanley had been there
for six weeks or two months. Tracks
of snow shoes which stand above the
receding snow make him think Stan
lev has not been there for some time.
Mr.. Beletsld brought with him a
pack of zoo pounds, furs, provisions
and gun, by using toboggan to with
in short distance above the forks OF
Lochsa and Selway rivers.
He says there is six feet of snow at
Fish lake. 1t took him seven hours to
make the ascent of the crags, having
to make path over the crags then
pack two trips before he could get his
toboggan over the summit.
He spent his nine months between
Graves peak and the summit Of the
Bitter Root mountains in an unbroken
forest of timber that has never been
touched by fire or drouth. on the
plateau drained by the Big Sandy and
Brushy Fork creeks
Beletski states that there Is a world
of white spruce timber there. beyond
mans estimate for value If it could be
reached for market.
The trapper expects fur buyers from
Spokane today to take his catch, val
ued at $1,000.
He is overjoyed at being again in
the realm of civilization. He says
men look good to him.

PANHANDLE SHOWS MORE GEN.
ERosiTY TO MEN.
Company viii Give 100000 More to
Its Employees the Coming Year
Than This Year.

Having granted a ten per cent in
| crease in wages to its active employees
the Pennsylvania railroad has gone q
4 step further and raised the annual ap
preparation of its pension fund for re
| tired employees by 35 per cent, from
$4,000 to 100000 per year. This
| announcement is contained in the an
nual report just completed by the pen
sion department OF the railroad. and
which was received at the local sta
ton yesterday. According to the re
port, $467 ,614.47 was paid out last
year to the 1910 men on the present
Pennsylvania pension roll.
There are now 1,940 men on the pen.
| sion rolls OF the company. In Janu.
airy, 1906, there were 1910. During
! the year 200 men died, three-fourths OF
whom were over 20 years Of age. This
decrease was Offset by the retirement
of 331 men. OF this number 201 were
in the 20 year class and 129 between
the ages OF 65 and SO.
Besides containing the announce
ment of the 35 per cent increase in the
annual appropriation, the amount dis
tributed in 1906 and the number of
men now on the pension rolls, the re-
port sets forth complete statement
of the operations of the pension de-
partment of the Pennsylvania railroad
since the pension system was organ
lied in 1900. At that time there were
only 1,190 men on the retired list, who
received $260,433.36-a little more
than half the amount distributed last
year.
Since 1900, the pension department
has distributed total of $2,493, 870.86.
which gives an average for the seven
years of $356,26S.69. The number of
employees retired and pensioned up to
the present time is 3,031. In addition
1000 men have died. The average age
O femployes at the time of retire ment
was Il years and months, with an
average length Of service of "a years
and months.
Several Richmond men are now on
the pension role. According to the
rule, an employee has to serve the
Pennsylvania thirty years, and at the
age of sixty-five years can retire from
the service in case he sees fit. At
seventy years retirement is compulso-
ry. Should man serve the Pennsyl-
vania thirty years and be below the
age of sixty-five he is not entitled to
the pension although several local men
say that such should be the case.

MUCH ALARM IS FELT
FEAR FOR WHEAT CROP
Mild Weather and the Absence of
Snow, Makes the Outlook for Grain
in This Locality Quite UnfavorabIe,
Farmers Say.

Hagerstown, Ind, March Farm
ers say there is real cause for the
alarm SO generally expressed about
the safety of the wheat crop in this
part of the state. The outlook is re-
garded as very unfavorable, and it is
doubtful if the best of weather con-
ditions from this time on until har-
vest could repair the damage already
done.
the mild weather and absence of
snow. The wheat grew very fast and
covered the ground like a thick mat
before cold came on last fall. 1t was
rank and green when freezing wealth
er started in and the fresh blades and
vigorous roots were entirely unpro-
tected from the cold. When ground
is frozen hard without any snow on
it every puff of wind helps to carry
the dirt from the roots of growing
plants. So it was last winter that
the wind carried away the dirt from
around the roots of the wheat plants
and left them exposed. To this cause
alone may be traced the destruction
Of a great deal of wheat. Then the
plants had not time to assume dor
mant condition before cold came on.
The fresh blades were easily killed
and the roots likewise badly dam
aged.
There was never a better prospect
for wheat than appeared in this coun-
ty before Christmas, but the recent
unfavorable weather has totally de-
stroyed the prospect, and now farm
ers say we may find it, as has been
the case in years past. that there will
not be nearly enough wheat grown
in the county for home consumption.

Beveridge Lost Out.

Washington, March 1.-Senator
Beveridge finally lost his fight to
force the packers to put the date of
packing on the labels of their canned
goods. The conferees on the agricul.
tural appropriation bill decided
against Senator Beveridge and the
provision goes out of the bill. The
amendment of Senator Beverage re-
quiring the date of packing on the
cans was accepted by the Senate, but
the Senate conferees, it is learned,
did not make very valiant fight.

~-..--.
After experimenting with steel
gondolas and postal cars. and with
the announcement that the Pullman
car company will install steel cars
on its system, the Pennsylvania rail-
road will now turn its attention to the
construction of steel box cars, says
the Pittsburg Post.
1t is probable that the PennsyIvan-
ia Will shortly let contracts for a
large number of steel box cars The
Pennsylvania now has a man in the
west inspecting the steel box car
now in use on the Union Pacibic
which is the first car of it's kind ever
built. The movement is not new,
however, as the railroad has been ex-
perimenting largely along this line,
but hasnever gained to any degree
of perfection, models which would
compare with that now used on the
western road
The new box car is regarded by
"Pennsy" motive power experts as
the extreme development of the steel
car, and they think it strange that
box cars with steel bodies have not
been tried before.
1t Is claimed that the new box car
weighs 81, 800 pounds, or about Ia Per
cent. less than the standard box car
used on the Hartman lines. The
two cars have practically the same
dimensions, the difference in cubic
capacity being only about so cubic
feet. This saving of weight is accom-
plished largely by using only one cen.
ter sill and designing the side frames
as efficient plate Orders OF consider
able length.
The body framing of a wooden box
car has always been more or less a
failure as truss to carry that part
of the load between holsters. The
combination of green timber and i'm
perfect fitting usually results in
side frame, which carries little or
none of the load after a few months
of service, but the steel box car, the
sides having all the members rigidly
attached to each other. supports
great deal of the load which would
otherwise be carried by the longitud-
inal stills.
Pennsylvania railroad officials re-
alize that it will cost more to repair
steel box car than the present
equipment in case the car is damag
ed, but they figure that repairs will
not be reon'rod oearlv so often
