GREAT NORTHERN MAKES GOOD

St. Paul is now the gateway for
most of the mail for Western states,
Alaska and Oriental ports. There is
now brought this way all the mail
that originates in the states east of
the Mississippi river and north of the
Ohio river. Much of the mail from
this territory used to be sent by way
of Omaha, but was diverted this way
when the Great N orthern established
it's superior service.
The government will weigh the
mails in this district for three months
beginning in February, to ascertain
the basis for payment for mail trans
portation for the next four years. 1t
is to get this contract that the Great
Northern is maintaining it's forty
eight hour service.-Pioneer-Press

The Great Northern fast mail yes
terday completed thirty-three days
record in the maintenance of a forty
eight-hour schedule from St. Paul to
Seattle. Not only has the train been
able to keep within the time limit on
every run, but it invariably has been
travelling under the schedule about
half an hour daily.
Officials assert that the Great Nor
thern fast mail is the fastest long dis
tance train in operation in the world
at present, and the record of the past
thirty-th1ee days is regarded as re-
markable. It is pointed out that the
schedule maintained by the Great
Northern via st. Paul is three hours
shorter than that maintained by the
Hartman lines from Omaha to San
Francisco, the distance being COM
paratively the same.

HINSDALE SHEEPMAN KILLED
AT SOUTH ST. PAUL YARDS
ROBERT THOMPSON, OF THE FIRM OF BRANDS THOMPSON
& MoNTFoRr, MEETS DEATH BY BEING CRUSHED
BETWEEN LOADING CHUTE AND TRAIN

Robert Thompson, the we'll known
sheep man of the firm of Brands,
Thompson & Montfort, who have
been in the sheep business in this vi
cinity during the past two or three
years, met his death at the South St.
Paul stock yards last Tuesday night.
The following account of his death is
taken from the South st. Paul Daily
Reporter of the 1Oth.-Hlnsdale
Homestead.
Robert Thompson, a livestock ship
per from Hlnsdale, Montana, was
crushed to death between the loading
chutes and moving train in the
stock yards last night. The body,
still warm, was found about 11:15 by
the night train men. His ribs and
chest were crushed in and both hips
were badly bruised, showing he had
been rolled by the train.
No one saw the accident. Thomp-
son had been about the stock yards
early in the evening arranging for
the shipping out OF four cars OF sheep
with which hearrived Monday night
from Montana. His consignment of
sheep was moved out of the yards
about 10 o'clock last night. 1t will
probably never be known definitely
but il is supposed that the man, in
trying to scale one of the cars, fell,
and so met his death.
Thompson was identified by papers
found in his pockets which gave his
name and showed that he was mem
ber at Corunna, Michigan, of the Odd
Fellows and also Mason. He is be-
lieved to have relatives at Corunna
and efforts are being made to locate
them.

Malta and vicinity was visited by
the first snow storm of the season
Saturday, snow falling to the depth
of two and one half inches. There
was very little wind with the storm
so that few snow drifts were made
and quite few sleighs were out Sun
day and Monday. No reports of any
loss of stock or sheep have been heard
of.
Poor old Chief Rocky Boy and his
dilapidated band of Chippewas, who
have been disowned several times by
the United States and likewise by the
Canadian government, have at last
been provided with a home and 80
acres of land for each member of the
tribe. A few days ago, under the
direction of Major Logan, of the
Belknap reservation, they were
moved from Colorado Gulch near
Helena to the Blackfeet Reservation,
where Alloting Agent Armstrong has
been busy making preparations for
their reception.
If all the people in our little city
when they feel like saying something
mean and harmful about somebody
else will remember the following,
there will be much less i'll feeling:
"When an eminent painter was re-
quested to paint Alexander the Great
so as to give perfect likeness of
him, he felt a difficulty. Alexander
in his wars, had been struck by a
sword and across his forehead was an
immense scar. The painter said: If
retain the scar it will be an offense
to the admirer of the monarch, and
if l omit it, it will fail to be perfect
likeness. What shall l do? He hit
upon a happy expedient-he repre-
sented the emperor leaning on his ell
bow, with his foretingers on his brow
accidently, as it seemed, covering the
scar on his forehead" We could
make this our resolve:-Paint each
other with the finger of charity upon
the scar of man or woman, hiding the
ugly mark, and revealing only the
beautiful, the true and the good.
Gossipers and slanderers are narrow
mided, small-souled people and it's
usually the ignorant who criticise and
ridicule the most.

Salaries.

The salaries Of our State officers
and supreme and circuit court judges
should be raised to at least what
they were a few years since. It costs
more to live now than formerly, and
the officers should be paid a salary
commensurate with the work they
have to do, and the dignity Of the
positions they hold. Compare the
salaries of our officers with those
paid by other States of the South to
its officers of like rank, and the diff
ference will be manifest.
The increase will not affect ne or
the other officers now holding Office
under their present terms, but | feel
that it is due to those who come at
ter US and I, therefore, recommend it.

THE MARCH OF PROHIBITION.
More Than Half Of the south is Dry
 Now.

Washington, Dec 29,-A wave oi prohibition has swept with such re- narkable effect over the South, and sentiment has 80 crystalized against the saloon and its kindred evils, that the new year opens upon a vast stretch of territory absolutely bereft Of liquor, while the area where anti Prohibitionists have tTiumphed, marks the battle-ground for impending fights on the question.
 Significant of the magnitude this problem has assumed IS the fact that in many states prohibition obscures all other municipal and state ques' lions. Other states have disposed of the issue, temporarily at least by the passage of statutory laws whose eiii- ciency must yet be tested. In still other states the elections have re- stricted the sale of liquor to the larger cities.
 More than half the Souths terri tory is dry" absolutely and in the re. maining area the sale of intoxicants is restricted. It is evident that the cities are the only remaining strong holds for the saloons, and 1t is unlike Iy that this condition will be modified except through a radical change Tn political thought, through failure to enforce the laws against the liquor traffic, failure to solve the problem growing out of diflcits in county, mu. nieipal and state treasuries from 8 loss of the whisky tax, and perhaps, other obstacles which follow ill the wake of prohibition Georgia for a year has been experimenting with a near prohibition law forbidding the sale Of liquors containing more than four per cent of alcohol. Statewide prohibition laws become effective Oh January in North Carolina, ..labama and mlssissippi. Prohibition advo- cates in Louisiana have suspended their fight to test the new Gay-Shat' tuck law for the regulation of the liquor traffic.
 Tennessee is the chief center of in terest among the other states where statewide prohibition fights are in progress. The Probibltionists also assert that statewide bill will pass the legislature which they expect to organize and control
 ine results of prohlDalon general D are gieaned from reports indicat' iing a great decrease in the record of arrests for drunkenness, an increase in the bank deposits of laborers, fewer cases of wife abandonment and de- crease in criminality generally. The difficulty of enforcing the prohibition laws. however is conceded 10 be one of the chief obstacles to it's absolute success in many states.

TEN EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS IN AN HOUR
The Work of Isosting the Stricken City Is Now Going On, Food Being Refused Refugees Who Refuse to Leave Their Ruined Homes--Have Found No Americans.

Messiua. Jan. S.-Earthquake shocks are still continuing here at the rate of about ten an hour. Fire also has again broken out completing the de struction of the city hall and the rec ords stored therein.
 A party of men under tho direction of Major Landis, the American mili- tary attache at Rome, has been work. ing four days 10 extricate the bodies of A. s. Cheney and his wife from the ruins of the American consulate. The apartment of the Cheneys has not yet been uncovered and many feet of wreckage still remain to be removed.
 3ayard Cutting. Jr.. Winthrop Chan Ter and Stuart K Lupton, consular representatives, are making every eff fort to trace Americans supposed to have been in the earthquake zone at the time of the disaster, but so far without success.
 The authorities have determined to isolate Messina as the only means of preventing an outbreak of serious ill- ness.
 The relief parties complain that the starving refugees refuse the most nu' tritious food and want only macaroni. The work of the soldiers in Messina Thursday consists principally in gath. ering up dead bodies and burying them in trenches between layers Of quick lime. Out of respect to the prevailing religious feeling it was determined not to burn the dead.
 The work of relief Is now well un- der way in Messina, but the smaller towns in the interior are being neg lected. Ships arriving on the scene henceforward will be sent 10 the coast towns and parties will go inland with supplies The English have estab- lished a splendid relief camp in the hills behind San Giovanni.
 The search for survivors is still go. persons were taken from the ruins The majority of these now found alive are children and elderly persons who evidently did not expend thelr ener- gies in vain efforts to free themselves.
 The policy of clearing Messina was inaugurated Wednesday with the re- fusal of the authorities to furnish peo- pie with food unless they agreed to embark for transportation elsewhere This has been done to discourage peas. ants coming down from the mountains to take advantage of the free distri button of rations.

MILLIONS OF rELEaRAMs A YEAR
England Sends Almost 94,ooo,o0o in
 TWelvemonth.

According to the figures published hy the German imperial post office the record of sending the most tele- grams in year belongs to the people of England, who dispatched almort 94.000,000 during the year 1906. Tn United States came next. with 65, 500,000, and then France with 5S,000,- 000. Germany occupied fourth place with 52,500,000 telegrams. The Jap anese figures are 24,500,000 and those for Russia only 2S,000,000, including all the country's Asiaie possessions. But Russia paid for them the largo sum of $20.675,000. while Germany's outlay was only sS.750000. During the same period the American com panies took in roughly s29,000,000. Of the European countries Spain. for its size, has the smallest telegraphic of wire and the smaller income pro portionately to her population. So far as mileage is concerned, the United States leads all the other nations. but no one who has resided abroad ever fails to note how much more frequent ly English and Germans use the tele graph for short distance communica- tions than is the case here, says the New York Post. Of course, the deyel opment of the telephone in this coun try. also far ahead of anything similar in Europe, accounts in large measure for this state of affairs.

SOUGHT ONLY HIS OWN sAFETH
Book Tells Unpleasant Story of Illus
 bands cowardice.

A partly caustic, partly humorous book, entitled The Irony of Mar riage," has aroused good deal of in terest in England. The author. MT Basil Tozer, thinks that the supremely attractive quality in wife is a sense of humor, as being not only delightful Iu itself but as denoting a sympathetic nature. He thinks that humorous women abound--but not everybody agrees with him. One eminent literary man told the author that in the whole of his life he had met only two wons. en with sense of humor "One," he said. T married; the other Is still al large" Mir Tozer offers various un- pleasant stories about husbands. Here is one of them:
 "The scene is a ship caught in a typhoon on the Pacific. A report hay been spread that the ship was sinking the man rushed down to the cabin in search of a cork jacket. Only one was there, and his wife had already SC cured it. In an instant he bounced upon her, and. in spite of her frantic struggles. wrested the jacket from her and bound it about himself, But the ship didn't sink. In point of fact, the danger had not been great. To this day the story is related in the club at Yokohama, and the hero of 1t, who Is in the shipping business, is known among his acquaintances as Lion Hearted Peter
