TOWN MEETING WARRANT.
Several important Articles in Addition
to Those Providing for Routine 5usl-
ness

Several important Articles in Addition
to Those Providing for Routine BusI-
ness.
The warrant for the town meeting to
be held Tuesday, March 5. has been made
out by the selectmen and posted in con-
spcuous places about town as required
by law. The warrant bears several i'm
portant articles which are likely to cause
discussion before they are settled The
first IL articles OF the warrant are the
regular ones which appear every year
Article u Is to see If the town will vote
to grade the hill and sidewalk on Gene
terry hill and raise money for the work
Article l3 is to see If the town will vote to
improve Vernon street by cutting down
the hill and regarding it south and to
appropriate money to meet the expense.
Both these Improvements in the highways
are needed and have been asked for by
large number Of people. The most
important article is No. u. in regard to
the issue Of bonds for $4,000, as ex-
planned in last weeks Phoenix Article
IS is TO see If the town will vote to au-
thorize the school directors to sell at
auction the schoolhouses in districts g.
and 9 and article l6 is to see If the town
school district will authorize the town
school directors to locate. build and fur
nish a schoolhouse in the neighborhood
Of the old brickyard and raise the money
for 1t. Article Il is to see II the town
will continue to elect its officers under
the Australian ballot There is a feeling
among men who have to do with the
detail OF the election that the Australian
system is too complicated and a needless
expense to the town. The expense OF last
years election was about $50, under the
Australian system, when the town had to
print an official ballot Under the old
system the expense Of printing ballots
was borne entirely by candidates.

Willis j. Abbott, in Golfers Weekly.
tells how the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad, in addition to con-
trolling the land transportation between
New York and Boston, has succeeded
through immense expenditures. in chok-
ing of water competition. This leads
the Springfield Republican TO remark:
As matters now stand the natural high
way Of Long Island sound is practically
closed against competing interests To
be sure. boats can be run through the
sound, but when they cannot obtain
wharf advantages at either end OF the
line nothing effectual can he done in the
way Of competing in any large way with
the monopoly"

Ready for the Fray

The stiletto-looking seXtet steamed
out to sea from New York in Indian
file, stripped for the fray. The rapid
fire guns and torpedo tubes had been
slowed below deck. The wide-mouthed
VentilatOrS were unScrewed and
slowed away. The lifeboats were up
side down on deck, so that the curved
bottoms would suffer less resistance to
the wind. The canvas coverings had
been stripped from the bridges. All
ports were closed to eliminate air fric-
ton Everything movable was sent
below. The navigators wore automo-
bile goggles to keep the wind from
cutting their eyes. The crew were
stripped to the waist. ..---..,.--------z-
On the bridge OF each craft stood
the commanding officer, the navigator
and the seaman at the wheel. Down
in the engine rooms there was post
for every man. Now and then a puff
of black smoke rolled out of a funnel
or safety valve popped forth an i'm
patient scream of steam, telling of the
suppressed eagerness to be off.
The line headed for the starting
point, off the Scotland lightship. The
wind was fresh. 20 miles an hour from

Pace Begins to Tell

AS the afternoon wore on, the kill
ing pace began to tell. The officers,
in goggles, felt the strain of keeping
the vessel on the course and all hands
keyed up to their best efforts. The
helmsman at the wheel never lifted
his eyes from the compass.
Down in the engineroom the flying
oil still stung the mems eyes blood
shot; it ran down their arms and
chests and out of the eyelets of their
shoes. The stationary parts of the
engine were inches deep with the
butter-like substances that flew out.
Now, the boiler rooms are alright,
so that the two forced-draught fans in
a wall may suck in air that can escape
only by going under the fire CRATES
and up through the Goals, and in these
prisons were locked the half-naked
stokers. They had shoveled tons of
coal on the white-hot fires, so fierce
that shovelful of fuel turned red the
instant it touched the Goals and be-
fore the furnace door could be swung
shut.
AS the afternoon wore on and the
sun got down on the horizon, the
CLEAN of Cape Henry lighthouse, at
the mouth of Chesapeake bay, showed
clear ahead. The Worden was hull
down and out of sight in the lead. The
rest were strung out until the last
craft was hull down astern. The stars

Strike Broken.

Hibbing-While no reports OF trou-
BILE are sent to the governors office
from the iron range, and the con-
stantly increasing number of men re-
turning to work seems to indicate that
the strike is broken, it's effect will be
seen in the next balance sheet OF the
state, according to State Auditor s..
G. Iverson. He expects that the re-
ceipts from royalties on the ore taken
from the state lands will be decreased
to some extent owing to the idleness

and headed for the starting point off
the Scotland lightship. The wind was.
fresh, 20 miles an hour, from the
west-southwest, with lumpy sea roll
ing off shore. AS they neared the post
the fleet closed in on one another in
confusion in jockeying for position.
They cut across one another'S stems
with the swiftness Of an arrow or

of swallow. Now one would plunge

Generally it is not good nautical man.
ners to Dust the flagship from her
place at the head of the line, but the
craft were hot for the contest and
many, from stoker to shoulder straps,
had wagers on the result. 1t was diff
cult to pick the favorite. All had
made %, 20, or 80 knots, which equals
80 miles an hour, or express train
time, on their trial trips. Considering
the Difference due the flagship, many
picked the Whipple as winner, others
thought much of the Worden, because
her bottom had just been scraped and
painted, to the non-resistance of
creased steel, while all the others had
more or less foul bottoms, not having
been in dry dock for some time. The
majority favored the Truxtun, for she
had never been beaten in a contest
and was supposed to have the best
crew that ever stepped aboard a tor
pedo-boat destroyer. The bluejackets
pinned their faith in the we'll known
grit and never-give-up of the Hopkins,
while the champions of the Stewart
and Hull argued that these vessels
could keep up as fast a clip as their
sisters.
The flagship Whipple happened to
be heading the fleet as the ships bore
down on her. Off on her starboard,
running nose and nose with the flag
ship, was the Truxtun, and to port
was the Worden forging ahead. The
Stewart, also off to port, was gath
ering Roadway and pulling into line.
The Hopkins was tumbling the seas
outward from each bow as she came
up toward the line, and the Hull hung
on the left flank.

view of the fact that the state legis.
lature had ordered the grant forfeited.
AS the title of the railroad has been
upheld by the courts the legislature
last winter passed an act repeating the
act Of 1895. This cleared the way for
a settlement of the question, and Gov.
Johnson has now signed the deeds
which will give the settlers on the
lands in question clear title to their
lands. While they have heretofore
been in undisturbed possession of the
land, the failure. of the state to issue
it's deed left cloud on the title.
The deeds just issued cover lands
located in eight of the counties of the
state, as follows: Swift, 11,119.3s; Ste
vens, 5,191.18; Big Stone, 2,061.44;
