Shotwell-

L. w. Shotwell, of Des Moines,
Iowa, who recently located on claim
in the vicinity of the Edge Hill ranch,
south of town, and Miss Fay Regard,
of Owatonna, Mimi, were united in
the holy bonds of matrimony at the
home of the BRIDES parents on We'd
nesday, October 18th. Mr.. Shotwell,
although he has only lived in this COM
munity for short time, has appeared
before us an ambitious, congenial,
young man, and during this time has
won the friendship wherever he has
made acquaintance, and the bride is
the daughter of highly esteemed
family of the city of Owatonna. Mr..
and Mrs. Shotwell arrived in Wibaux
on Thursday last, and Immediately
took up their residence in the cozy
cottage which he had prepared for
them on the farm south of town.
The Pioneer joins their large circle
of friends in this vicinity in extending
congratulations and best wishes for
pleasant journey through their future
years. -Wibaux Pioneer.

unborn child.
The effect on the mature brain is
temporary, as it is able to re-
cover from the evil effects. But upon
the plastic brain substance of the
embryo the injury becomes permanent,
lasting during the earth life of the
child, unless the affected part should
be removed by surgical operation,
as has sometimes been done. The
effect of these drugs is to harden the
brain.

AUTOMOBILE IS USED
TO BREAK SNOW ROADS

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-'I have seen
automobiles used for many different
purposes, said A. L. Kull. vice presi-
dent the Dragon Motor Company.
but 10 me. the funniest use I ever
saw, I ran across in Michigan last week.
There had been a heavy fall Of light
dry snow the night before, and it did
not pack very well. Our agent took out
one of his cars and drove over about
five miles OF road with two large kettles
dragging behind. These kettles were
filed with bricks and stones, and as
they were drawn along they left two
hard-packed tracks, just right for the
teams. It seems that II csc kettle
tracks are rather an old device with
the farmers and in winter they use this
method OF breaking roads through the
snow. In the summer and fail these
same kettles are used for making soap
and scalding pigs.
THE use of automobiles for breaking
snow roads seems to become more gen
eral each year, The driver is able &c
make a straighter track than the old.
fashioned team of oxen, which formerly
had the field TO themselves.

Company Organized.

All hail the Taxicab!
The reception Of the Thomas taXicab
in Chicago promises well for its career
in Washington.
Like most other good things. the
Thomas Taxicab is built around an idea
an idea based upon a real need and
one which. while not assumed 20 be re-
orltionary, enectuaHy corrects abuses
to which every traveller and the ma
iority Of city dweIIers are exposed.
When Mr.. L. r. Thomas. president Of
the Thomas Motor Company. OF Buffalo.
conceived the idea some years ago Of
adapting the automobile TO city passen-
ger traffic, he had as basis for his
experiment the Intellectual operation OF
electric cabs, as well as his position Of
the leading manufacturer Of gasolene
automobiles to guide him in his choice
of vehicle design.
Foreign Engineers.
He had. also, a large staff of German.
French. and American engineers, some
of them located abroad, who were thor
oughly in touch with every new develop
ment in the automobile industry. and
inasmuch as he had natural foresight,
end incidentally had achieved success,
neither time, skill nor money vas
spared In the designing and completion
Of an automobile cab which would be
fully as satisfactory 10 the public as II
was to the owner, who. as an investor
must necessarily give the greatest con-
sideration 70 those features which make
II an income producer.
Abroad. this type of vehicle is known
as the taximeter cab. taking its name
from the register placed in plain sight
OF the occupant. which registers the
distance Travelled. and the exact amount
OF fare due at the end OF the journey.
Excessive Hack Charges.
Years have passed since the charges
Of the Niagara hackmen were legitimate
subjects for the American humorist.
The evil has never been abated IN our
cities Prices OF cabs varied with the
snre wdness OF the driver. II you looked

In speaking of the effect of the fnan-
cial depression on trade Mr. Klock
said: The automobile merchant Is
sensitive to financial changes and the
recent revival Of interest in new cars

AROUSED
BY PROPOSED TAX
Dealers Violently Protest
New Basis of Rating
by Horsepower.

NEWARK. y. J.. Feb. 15.-Energete
action is to be taken by the New Jersey
aetomobIIists to oppose several Of the
changes tina. have been proposed for
the new State motor law at the pres
ent session of the Legislature.
W. p. Crosby, chairman of the legis-
lative committee of the Associated Au-
tomobile Clubs of New Jersey, issued a
call today requesting delegates from all
of the clubs in the State TO meet in
Trenton and discuss the subject. One
Of the changes against which great OPP
position has developed is the new tax
on. the basis of horsepower. The pres
ent tax or license is IS for cars Of 25-
horsepower or under and $ for cars
over 25-horsepower. By the new plan
cars Of 25-horsepower viii ray an an
uual fee of SIS, while the tax for cars
of I00-horsepower viii be SIPS.

Special Legislation.

This is regarded as special legislation,
and Mr.. Crosby states that It will be
opposed as unconstitutional How keen
~ the Jersey motorists feel on the mat
ter is shown by the statement from Mr..
Crosby that he has received an appro-
priation of $500 from the Paterson Auto
mobile Club toward paying the ex-
penses of the campaign about to be
waged against the new legislation.
A storm of protest has been raised
among the New Jersey dealers, and 3
meeting has been called for Monday
