Above is pictured one of the new
locomotives recently received by
the Duluth. South Shore & Atlantic
railway. These engines have been
installed in the passenger service of
the railroad with results gratifying
to both passengers and the officials
of the road. Heavy falls of snow do
not seem to check the progress of
these powerful haulers of trains as
was demonstrated in the upper
peninsular of Michigan during
heavy snow.storms, when the trains
of the South Shore almost without
exception were on schedule time.
The weight of the engine on the
drivers is Sc tons; weight of engine
is Is tons, and engine and tender
combined weigh l25 tons. The
iameter of the wheels outside the
tires is 81 inches, while the wheels
have tractive power of $4,000
pounds. Cylinders are 10 inches
by q inches.
One of the features of these en-.
gines much discussed along the

candidate for the Office of treasurer
of School District No. q. While
some of those who earlier made
known their intentions of entering
the field are said to have withdrawn
from the race there are still three
candidates before the people
for the position, while others
may decide to enter before the
finals. Mr.. Coffman is a gentleman

support through sympathy tor him

him from following his chosen

Nicholas Reply to Editor O0wlinq's

When in the course of events it be-
comes necessary for man who
has been using the pick and shovel,
hammer and drill, for many years,
to drop these heavy tools OF honest
toll for few moments and have
recourse to the lighter instrument,
known as the pen, but classed
mightier than the sword, decent
respect for the intelligent editors
of our range papers, and the love
of fair play inherent in their sub.
scribers and readers requires that
he should have good and sufficient
reason for 80 doing, and declare the
cause which impells him to the act.
In an editorial of February, 1903,
the Eve)eth Star editor makes
positive statement, and connects
the name of the writer of these
lines to it, with just as much COM
posture as child tying tail unto
his kite. Many child has been
disappointed in his expectations of
seeing the kite soar heavenward
owing to the tailings being too
heavy. "rhe Introductory remarks"
calling names, will possibly interest
and amuse boys in knee pants, but
just at this time men of integrity
and principle are demanding facts,
and the momentary results of a
brainstorln eventually leads to the
insane asylum. The assertion,
however, that we offered defense to
the Red flag in range paper last
year, when the gentlemanly editor
was trying to combat the evil, is
more serious, from the fact that the
gentleman has in the past been
suggesting to his readers that this
particular flag represents anarchy.
If we understand applied anarchy,
it means the absolution of all gov
eminent and incidentally the des-
truction of our homes, our churches,
our great fraternal organizations
and practically all the ancient land
marks that serve to strengthen the
arms and guide the souls of the
brightest and best characters in
history's page; Ito fight and triumph
over all oppositions to these, our
most sacred institutions.

A RULING by Judge Cant on the
provision of law that "no person
already a surety on a license bond
shall be accepted as a surety on
another" will place many of the
supposed licensed saloons of St.
Louis county on the blind pig level,
Judge Cant holding that surety
company has no more legal stand
ing in the premises than has an in
dividual. The decision was handed
down in the case of William Carlin
Va. County Auditor Halden to CON-
pei the issuance of license after
it's authorization by the
board of county commissioners, the
county auditor refusing to grant
the license on the ground that the
bond presented was not acceptable
because of the fact that the surety
company signing same was already
on other liquor license bonds in
the county.

never labored beneath the earth's
surface for one day previous to
that fearful time, and by 40 doing
win the right to criticise a whole
community. Notwithstanding the
political differences that exist in
Sparta as elsewhere, we can testify
to the greatness and nobility of the
hearts that beat within the Spartans
breast. True patriotism and manly
courage will never cease to be re-
vered among the present inhabit-
ants of that little flower garden of the

attacks by the gentlemanly editor,

sidered by the public as measure
of respect that marked inferiority
pays to superior merit. The state
ment that we led the people from a
political standpoint is rather
humorous. We never lived within
the village limits, we never voted
there, although we should have
been proud of the privilege. We
always judged these people az
being quite capable of leading
themselves. 1t is very difficult to
