about an hour later by strong wind,
we fastened to seek shelter. The

several large hummocks, and over to

vapor were rushing over the pack,
and the wind came with d rapidly in

But the dome was erected before we
suffered severely from the blast, and
under it we crept out of the coming
storms into warm furs.
1t blew f1ercely that night, but in the
morning the storm eased to a steady
draft, with a temperature of SO de-

The snow grays had been swept from
the frigid dome, but to the north there
remained a low black line over

The upper surface of Grant Land

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.

The annual report Of the Northern
Pacific road which was made in New
York few days ago proves the pros
perity of the northwest, through
which the Northern Pacific is operat-
ed. A railroad prospers with the
country it serves. There can be no
prosperity of a road separate from
the prosperity of the people who are
its customers. For a good many
years>the Northern Pacific struggled
along with little patronage through
a sparsely settled territory. One
passenger train was run each way
daily to the Pacific coast, and that
was poorly patronized. At the pres
emit time, there are five passengers
trains scheduled east and west on
the main line, and the freight bust
ness has become so heavy that the
need for double tracked system is
pointed out by President Elliott. At
the present time there are several
hundred miles of double tracking,
and plans or 1870 miles to be built
in the near future
If we will observe the general az
riculturaI and trade conditions of the
northwest, we will see that they have
improved and prospered in the same
way. The increase in the price of
land, the opening up of new territory
the building of new towns, and break
ing OF the virgin soil to be cult
vated-all of these are indications of
the same growth and prosperity that
has come to the west and northwest.
And where there was one transconti-
mental line through this section when
the Northern Pacific was first COM
pleted there are now three that ira
verse this state On the way to the
Pacific coast country and it will not
be many years before the 500 will
have a Pacific coast outlet through
the United States.

A FARNlERy RAILROAD.

Railroading does not mean that
there is necessarily large surplus to
be divided among stockholders, even
when the road is a Farmers institu-
ton and there is no question Of eco
nomical management and the square
deal. North Dakota has one farmers
road, running north from Devils
Lake, and serving as feeder for the
Great Northern, and of the annual
report of the road, a news item in
the Grand Forks Herald says:
The annual statement of the Farm
ers' railroad just given out at Devils
Lake shows a total income for the
year of $92,858.53 as against $68,056
for the previous year. The operating
expenses were $60,A72.s2 as against
$7O,553.70 for the previous year. This
shows a gain this year of s22,6S5.oI
from operation but out of that taxes,
rentals and interest on bonds to the
amount of $31,493 so that the real
result Of the years business is de-
vcit of $8,863.73. Last year the de-
felt was $50, 760.03, which shows that
in spite of the deficit there has been
a great improvement III the business
of the road.
There is a great deal of theory in
connection with the extortions and
profits of railroads, put forth by per-
sons who have little or no knowledge
of the real business of railroading.
The officers of the farmers road
could doubtless give us some inter-
esting information as to the thousand
and one expenses that go to keep
profits down, or to cause deficit.
But even though the earnings sheet
of the farmers road shows a deficit,
the stockholders, who are largely
farmers, no doubt get their dividends
in the shape Of better service in NOV
ing crops and convenience in trans
portation.

and In q few hours we saw from an
unusual uplift of ice blocks 4 broad,
dark line separating the packs-a tre'
mendous cut several miles wide, which
seemed at the time to bar all farther
progress. We had a folding canvas
boat on the sleds, but In temperature
Of 48 degrees below zero no craft could
be lowered into water without fatal
results. All of the ice about was firm
~ >cemented together, and over it a
way was forged to the shore of the
great lead.
Camp Beside the Lead.
Camp was made on a secure old field,
and over it's huge ice cliffs the crack
seemed like a long river winding be-
tween palisades Of blue crystal. A
thin sheet Of yellow ice had already
spread over the mysterious Deep and
profusion of fantastic frost crystals
were arranged in punches resembling
flowers. Through this young Ice dark
vapors rose like steam through q
screen Of porous fabrics and fell In
feathers Of dust along the sparkling
shores. Etukhishook went east and I
went west to examine the lead for
safe crossing. i
There were several narrow places,
while here and there foes had been
adrift in the lead and were now fixed
by the young Ice. Ahwelah remained
to make our snow house comfortable.
In exploring the shore line partial
ly bridged place was found about q
mile from camp, but the young Ice was
too elastic for safe track. The tenn.
perature, however, fell rapidly with
the setting sun, and the wind was just
strong enough to sweep OF the heated
vapors. A better atmospheric condt
ton could not be afforded to quickly
thicken the young ice. Y 49, .t -
The groaning ice and the eagerness
to reach the opposite shores kept us
awake for long time. With the ear
resting on the frozen sea the vibrations
and noises OF the moving pack were
not unlike those Of an earthquake.
Il Breakfast was served early, and soon
after we were ON the thin ice to test its
strength. Though the ice was hardly
safe, 1t did not seem wise to walt long
er, for the western skies were darkens
ing with a wind that might destroy
the new Ice and compel . halt for . ]
long time. - N

terry Makes the Matter
Most Interesting
Case.
SIX ARE IN THE PLOT
Girl is Thought to Have Learned
Some Of the Secrets Of the
Great Chinese
Lodge.

NEW YORK, June 3o.-That six
Cinnamon besides Leon are implicat-
ed in the Sigel murder is the latest
theory today. The police are shadow
ing two suspects and arrests IRE ex-
pected shortly. The theory that four
had an actual hand in the killing and
the fifth, Chung Sin, admits that he
saw the murder through the door.
Two others are believed to have been
accessories. 1t Is believed there was
deeper motive than jealousy. 1t is
suggested that the girl through the
assistance of Leon, Chu, Gain and
other Cinnamon. had gained much
knowledge Of the inner workings of
the Chinese secret society. The po-
lice refuse to give their source of In
formation that the girl was victim of
the gang, but declare they have made
important discoveries.

NAIROBI, June 3O.-The announce
ment of the police here today is not
to yield point in the fight with the
rickshaw boys who have been on
strike since the Roosevelt party arriv-
ed. This is taken to mean small hope
OF settlement and Europeans will be
compelled to walk while here this
year. The strike originated from a
new set of police regulations govern
ing the boys. The boys are fifteen
and seventeen years of age and chose
most opportune time to strike.
Previous to this there was no other
means Of transportation in Nairobi.
There is no street car system and
horses cannot live there because Of
horse sickness" 1t Is dangerous
for citizens to walk far because
OF the heat. The rickshaw
boys are paid little over $3.50 q
month and live on nearly nothing.
Prospects are good for an indefinite
fight.
