That fellow Powell who runs
a cracker-jack paper down at
st. Petersburg is in danger of
becoming purse proud. Just
hear him sing, and brother I'M
fortunates, if you can take cour.
age from his song. Maybe some
sweet day some of the balance
Of US may get to be as stuck up
as Powell is. Hear what he
says "The Independent office
installed d National cash regis
ter in its business office to-day.
Had to do it, as the old money
till was found inadequate to
hold the big bulk Of currency
which came in each day, ana
the Office boy has gotten stoop
shouldered carrying the money
to the bank " Up in this part
Of the moral vineyard the edi-
tors vest pocket furnishes
ample accommodation for the
currency which comes his way.

Garden seeds, maps, printed
speeches and such like truck
are burdening the mails these
d avs and Madison mails are no
exception to the rule. Neither
of our Senators or Representa-

The burning to death Of one
hundred and seventy-fve school
children in an Ohio town one
day last week is the most awful
catastrophe which has come to
our attention in many days, and
our heart sickened as we read
the horrible details Of the panic
which caused the erri b ! e
slaughter How important It is
that our school buildings should
be equipped with ample means
of exit and that discipline should
be enforced upon an children 10
attendance TO The end that such
casualties would be impossible.

Editor Collins dominates edi'

thing keeps on every editor in
the State will be mentioned for
some ofice. And that's about
where it will aforementioned
only. Stick to your trade fel
lows and let the politicians have
the Offices. We can create the
officers and that is whole lot
better than being an officer
yourself.

get it but If you stay at home

Along with the Pardoning Board
the Railroad Commission is get
ting its share of censure these
days from the State press. The
Brooksville Argus says that it
knows of no one in this section
so simple as to have any respect
whatever for that bunch of in
competents known as the Flori-
da Railroad Commission. If we
cannot get better and wiser men
to make up its personnel the
State should abolish the rail-
road commission and a d op t
some other method of control-
ling railroads. A man who
holds that individuals or com
panies have no right to exchange
potatoes for grits should not
occupy any position of respon-
sibility."

When Jack Overman left Van
derbilt University, he drifted into
the Indian Territory. The terri
tory in those days was inclined to
be wild; gamblers, horse thieves,
and bad men of all kinds, made it
their resort. However, this was
not "Fresh-Water' Jack" Over
mans reason for going into the
new country. He was not a bad
man and never looked for trouble,
but trouble sometimes comes un-
expectedly, and Jack got into a
shooting scrape with a former
schoolmate named Myer. Mye1
was not seriously wounded, but
"Fresh- Water Jack" in order to
escape, pulled out for Texas,
where he bought the clay X
ranch, and became acquainted with
typical old Texas rancher named
Phelan. Now Phelan had niece
who lived in New York, and she
came west to visit her uncle; and
here begins the story of "A Texas

St. Paul Pioneer Press: R. A.
Ely of Marshalltown, who is taking
out half a million cubic yards of
earth for the State of Minnesota in
Koochiching county, says that con-
tractors in the swamps of the North
generally have put in a very good
year.
R. A. Ely & Son are building
two bitches in Koochiching county
which they will complete in contract
time, the first of the year. Both
bitches drain into the Rainy river
basin and are located near Inter-
national Falls. One of the machines
is digging down the ditch and on
the other ditch the machine is dig
ging up from the Rainy river. The
bitches are very long and deep and
will drain many thousands of acres
of tillable land in that neighbour
hood.
The machines employed on the
work are "hoaters" or vertical
dredges. Their progress has been
threatened somewhat on account of
the lack of water during the dry
months of the year. Even at this
time, however, water is very scarce
and some difficulty is experienced in
getting enough to float these huge
machines.
The work on these bitches is
performed in the midst of the
greatest inland swamps on the con-
tinent, from which they will drain
the surplus water so that the land
may be cultivated. The soil is
all very fertile, with a good bottom,
and will make one of the richest
agricultural sections of the state.
Some fifty miles to the west is the
scene of the government operations
under Engineer Meade of the inter-
ior department, who is at present
in Washington. Contracts for this
work are expected to be awarded
soon. Being government work, it
will command great competition in
bidding. If let all at once, which
is not probable, it would be the
largest contract of it's kind let on
the continent for some time.
Engineer Meade passed through
St. Paul on his way to Washington
yesterday morning and while there
will prepare maps of ike Red river
region. Mr.. Meade for two years
has been in charge of this big sur
vey, (which revolves in a vast circle
in the very center of the most fertile
regions of Northern Minnesota with
the Red lakes as a pivotal point.
The work begun at Thief River
Falls is being gradually extended
from there east and north around
the upper shores of Upper Ked lake.
The last finishing touches have just
been made in the completion of a
survey along the headwaters of the
Rapid river near Baudette.
AS the major portion of this terri
tory is virtually high and dry and as
the engineers problem consist mainly
in opening clogged waterways, Mr..
| Meade is convinced that all the wet
lands included within the limits of
the survey can be quickly and easily
drained.
1t is very probable that Mr..
| Meade will be returned to take
charge of the continuation of the
work, including the overseeing of
the actual drainage operations. In
that event he will make his head
quarters at Thief River Falls.
The work will be prosecuted in
direct cooperation with the state
and its drainage engineer, George
A. Ralph, who already has three
year-old projects of immense size on
the Roseau and the upper parts of
the Red river valley proper.
The maps that Mr.. Meade will

SCHOONER BLOWN UP
 IN NORTHERN WATERS
The Crew Had Barely Time to Escape Before the Catastrophe.

Vancouver. April 22.-The gasoline fishing schooner, Clara C, of Tacoma. was blown up off Cape Scott on Sun day night and the crew of eleven men had barely time to escape in dOries with nothing but there clothes on their backs. The schooner took fire in an unknown manner at o'clock in the evening. Capt Hansen's men fought like demons for a few minutes to check the flames. They could do nothing and had to take to the boats. some even having to jump overheard to escape the flames The danger of explosion was seen. and although they got away as rapidly as possible from the doomed vessel. they had made but a few strokes before the gasoline tanks exploded and the yes sel was sent down a short time later.
 The explosion and the sinking of the boat caused considerable commotiOn in the water and one of the dories was nearly swamped, but fortunately no one was drowned.
 Cape Scott is at the north end of Vancouver island. and the shipwreck- ed crew had to row to Scarlet Point lighthouse. nearly 50 miles away. for food and shelter.
 The Clara was a gasoline schooner of forty-six tons. fitted with SO horse power gasoline engine.
