ST. Cloud Jan. 30-Oficer Henry
Becker, who was shot by the burglars
who raided a number of stores here
last Wednesday morning, is still alive
though in a serious condition. While
there is little noticeable change in his
condition, the physicians entertain
hopes for his recovery. An abscess
formed on Mr. Becker's back Monday
but this was opened and properly
dressed and so far has not appeared
to make the case any worse.
The authorities are entitled to great
credit for the prompt and effective
manner in which they rounded up the
bad men who committed the robberies
and did the shooting. Those under
arrest are ali old hands at the game
and much surprise is expressed that
they failed to get away. The prob
abilities are, however, that this is the
first time they encountered officers
who knew their business

RURAL TELEPHONES
Statement of the Condition OF

of StearnS County

The English Grove Rufal lele'

board of directors was: C. S. Nc.

This company was not organized as
many corporations are for the express
purpose of creating dividends, but for
and in the interests Of all connected
Herewith No member can ever own
but one share of stock, par value $25.
Telephones are installed 81 cost and
all labor hired as cheaply as consist

which place lines run to Willard,
Osakis, Sank Centre and Westport,
with feeders on side lines known as
the Pennie line, Cassell line. Otto line,
and Hopkins or Rowe line. One hun
bred three stockholders are now on
the books and the prospects are bright
for numerous other lines this season.
The company now owns about 90
miles OF well equipped lines at ap-
proximately $500 value including
prorerty at central Office and other
points amounting to $4,000, with in
debtedness of only $3.50 For the first
time since the company came into eX-
istence it became necessary. during
1907. to levy an assessment upon each
shareholder to defray expenses. and a
large majority of the members paid
the assessment cheerfully, for they
realized that it was much cheaper to
own their stock and phone and if
necessary pay an assessment occa-
sionally than to be paying some COM
pany S1OO per month indefinitely.
The increased value Of farm lands
over which the lines pass. is an evil
dence of the fact of the value of the
nnes and the convenience and worth
or the system. The business men OF
the villages who are directly depend
ent upon the farmers for trade should
be and no doubt are proud of the fact
that such a company exists.

RAILROAD RECORD
Statistics Relative to the Roads
FOR the Year Nineteen Hundred
and Seven

During the year 1907 the railroads OF
the United States installed a total of
6O,3S5 miles of block signals, more
than during any other year of their
history, built $3.50 miles of new road
and bought nearly $4,000 freight cars,
1889 passenger cars and 3,777 locomo-
tives.
The installation of block signals was
nearly 5000 miles in excess of the pre-
vious year. With the exception of
1906, the construction of new lines
was greater than since 1883.
The record of receiverships and
foreclosures also give evidence of the
general railroad prosperity. A total
of only seven roads aggregated 317
miles, and bonds and stock aggregat-
ing $13,7OO,O0O went into the hands
of receivers. Six roads were sold at
foreclosure and they represented ia
miles.
In Canada during the year 723 miles
of new road were constructed and in
Mexico $40 miles
The states west of the Mississippi
river show the most marked deyelOp-
ment in railroad building. The north
western territory of North and South
Dakota, Washington, Oregon, northern
California and Nevada have been most
active.
