A. N. Jcaeries returned Tuesday

time for the stockmen. If the weather
remains mild and there are no bad
storms for the coming SIX weeks the
stock interests will not suffer materially,
but should there be cold stormy weather
for any considerable length Of time it
would not result other wise, than
great loss OF stock.
Range conditions are not the best.
Snow came in November and contrary
to most seasons, remained on the
ground. There were additional falls of
snow in December, with the temporal
ture averaging low. Stockmen in many
localities are already using snowplows,
and for those who have not an album
dance OF hay and shelter, the prospects
are not encouraging now. 1t is yet arly
in January and should the usual stormy
weather be experienced during the next
six weeks, a grea, deal OF hay will be
needed and the supply in many places
will be inadequate.

Annual Bank Elections,

On Tuesday, January 8, the three ma
tional banks OF this city held their an
nual elections.
The Dakota National bank stockhold-
ers met at 2 o'clock and elected the fol-
lowing board of directors: w. l.. Rich
ards, c. {. Mead, IT,. Greene, F. ID.
Hevener, &. A. Perkins, W. +. Briggs
and W. F. Burnett. Subsequently the
directors me AID elected w. L. Rich
ards, president; I. J. Greene, vice presi-
dent; r. D. Hevener, cashier; Wilson
Eyer, assistant cashier. The sum of
100000 was added to the surplus fund,
IN creasing the same to S2o,ooo.oo. The
usual dividend was declared, and the
stockholders seemed much pleased with
the condition of affairs in the bank.
AT 4 o'clock the stockholders of the
Merchants National bank met and re-
elected the old board of directors, name.
ly: J. F. Davis, Welton Mcdonald, !.
H. Daily, M. L. Ayers, Geo. Senour, ]. {.
r. Parker and A.. H. Arnett. Following
the election the board went INTO execu-
tive session and reelected J. r. Davis,
president; Welton Mcdonald, vice presi-
dent; J.. l.. Hughes, cashier. The Mer.
chants National bank commenced bust.
ness September 4, 1906, and on Tuesday
the institution had deposits OF So2. 10000
and loans and discounts amounting to
S54,ooo.oo, Il showing very good for the
short time in business.
The First National bank stockholders
met in the evening and elected directors
as follows: A. billiard, V. H. Stickney,
Dan Manning, K. H. Johnson, H. l..
Dickinson, w. H. Walton and A. T..
Crowl. AT a later date in the week the
board elected A. billiard, president;
V. H.. Stlckney, vice president; Z. H.
Johnson, cashier; Robert H. Smith, as.
sistant cashier; Arthur Tollefson, head
b~ookkeeper; Irwin Mccarthy, assistant
b~ookkeeper. The First National bank
has a surplus fund of 100000, and
this year as in the past, declared a divi-
dent which was pleasing to the stock.
holders.
INTERSTATE BANK.
The annual meeting of the Interstate
Bank OF Billings County was held last
week. The stockholders reviewed with
pride the past years business and
elected the old officers for another veal
viz: H. Robinson, president; A. l.. Mar
tin, vice president; L. F. Crawford, cash
Ter. An addition Of $500 was made to
the reserve fund, making a total in this
fund of $500. This materially in
creases the standing of the bank as it in
reality makes 1t a sl7.5oo instead of a
$4,000 bank. A dividend of s. per
cent was declared above all expenses
an excellent showing indeed.

THE RAILROAD QUESTION.

| There has been appearing recently
in the Minneapolis Tribune articles
1 written by Howard Elliott, president
uf the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany. upon the railroad situation of the
country, particularly in the Northwest.
President Ellictts figures and state
mcnts agree most strikingly With those
issued not long since by President Hill
of the Great Northern. President Ell
lott like President, HILL makes a plea
for a better understanding between
the people and the managers of rail-
roads. II" shows how unwarr;lntetl
Iagitation instead OF helping the people
is iniuring them by making it harder
for the railroad arrangements to meet
the difficulties. He shows that the
business of tho country haa Increased
in recent years so rapidly that it has
been impossible for the railroads to
keep up With tho increased demands.
The inability of the railroads to prop
erly carry on the transportation bust
ness of the country arises not out OF
cicnt cffor, on the part of tho roads,
but from tho lack nt sufficient ira elk
age. All tho roads of the country and
particularly tho Great Northern and
Northern Pacific systems have ill
creased their motor power and car
capacity at IL rate commensurate with
the increase in business. The increase
in tr;lckage. however, has bocu Voc
fully incomncnsurate with the increase
in business. The result is that freight
is congcstctl at terminals and business
trntcrs waiting for opportunity to be
transported over track already great
~ ovcrtaxct.
President Elliott points out the OBJ
Stacles in the way OF railway construc-
ton in tho last few years. The in1-
possibility of getting material and la
Dor in sufficient quantities to do the
work demanded. He warns tho peo-
may prevent railroad arrangements in
the future from getting the necessary
capital With which to do the needed
work. People i'll general think that
the wealth OF railroads is unlimited.
Tho unthinking person is easily led
10 the belief that railroads can do any
thing, that they are not dependent up
on the people of the country. OF course,
railroads, like other great concerns,
depend for their capitalization upon
the people. Comparatively Il small
amount OF the stock Of any railroad
system is owned by the men who man >
age the system. The money with
which to clio the work is furnished by
investors. 1t is easy to understand how
these investors might be frightened so
that they would refuse to invest money
in 4 business which is the continued
object Of the peoples wrath.

lott and President Hill Of the money

The Congressional committee APP
pointed TO investigate the labor ques-
ton in Panama has returned from its
labors and reports that President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft are wrong
in declaring that Chinese labor would
be needed to complete the ditch, says
the Commoner. Every member Of the
committee is opposed to importing
Cinnamon to labor on the canal, saying
that it is not only unnecessary but not
advisable. Spanish laborers have been
found efficient, and they are being Sc
cured in increasing numbers. A famine
in the northern part OF Spain has made
it easy to secure workers at 50 cents
an hour, all almost unheard-of wage in
that section. Sixteen hundred Spanish
laborers are now enroute to Panama.
Labor from Spain, Italy, Martinique,
the Barbados and Jamaica is becom-
ing more plentiful, and as long as la
borers from these places can be kept
coming it will not be necessary to call
upon China. At present there are
about 1000 laborers on the canal, and
$1,000 more are needed. Jackson Smith,
manager Of labor headquarters, says
1t is necessary to have 10000 laborers
on the isthmus If $4,000 are to be kept
at work, the assertions being so numer-
Gus.

WINoNA's SCHOOLS.
st. Thomas Institution One Of tn.
Earliest in that City.

The st. Thomas pro-cathedral
school is one Of the oldest parochial
schools Of the city and, indeed, has
been very progressive since its per-
manent establishment in 1874 by the
now Rt. Rev. J. B. Cotter Of this city,
bishop Of the diocese Of winona, says
the Winona Republican, Herald Of jan
uary 26.
There was a parish school connect
ed with the st. Thomas church, how
ever, before this, the result Of the Ia
bors of Rev. Father Prendergast, one
Of the carly pastors Of the church.
This school building was located Just
west, across the alley, from the pre-
sent school building. on Wabash
street, between Dain and Center
streets.
The school was started about 1880
or 1850 and was placed in charge OF
the Bridsindwine Sisters. It was con-
Quoted by them until the year 1864
when Father Prendersast left winona
and the school was discontinued.
There was no parish school for the
next ten years or until after Rev,
Father Cotter, became pastor Of the
st. Thomas congregation.
After making due preparations for
the school. Father cotter moved out
Of his residence, what is now the
convent, and turned it over to the
Sisters Of Notre, the name under whose
charge the st. Thomas school was to
be placed. The Sisters arrived in
