THE NOSE GIVES NOTICE.
Acetylene has another safe
guard against being burned use
lessly in an explosion. 1t has
so powerful an odor that one
part Of it in ten thousand Of air
gives notice of its presence to
the nose. The generator maker
says the odor is like that of gar
lie. The farmer boy would say
that the acetylene protects;itself
against being fred by that same
means that the polecat protects
itself from being fred at.
ACETYLENE VS.. GASOLINE PLANTS
The advantages of acetylene
over gasolene vapor are A
much smaller quantity is used
to make the same light and its
color is white, so it does not
distort colors in the eye of the
seamstress. Its odor betrays
a leak before a dangerous
amount Of gas has escaped.
Being lighter than air, it is car
ried away while gasoline vapor
loafs around.
The gasolene carbureter has
one advantage over the acety-
lene generator-an important
one. Water is not needed in
it, while the acetylene machine
must have q water seal. To
prevent freezing it must be kept
in the dwelling, in a brick out
house or under ground.
A flame is not necessary to
the ignition OF acetylene or gas
olene vapor. A soldering iron
or any hot metal, a pipe or a
flowing coal or match stick will
explode either of them. On
this account they are more dan
gerous than city gas.
In the states in which ice
forms there were sold during
last year but one generator fol
each 1000 persons. In the
states on the Gulf Of Mexico
the number is much larger.
Should a gasolene generator
be placed in a dwellingi The
fire marshal hesitates to ad.
wise it.

The last Legislature reduced
the express rate by 90 per cent.
Now the Wells-Fargo people
point out that they had no rate
when the law was passed and
hence that they are not affected

definite rate which will be the
same all around, and have it

MILWAUKEE EXTENSION
Probable Road Will Go Through Ca
IN Slim Buttes.

The Deadwood Telegram says
it seems to be almost a settled
fact that the Milwaukee extern
sion, now building westward
from Wakpala across the reser-
walton country, is striking di-
rectly for the gap in the Slim
Buttes as the most desirable and
feasible route on its way to the
the Little Missouri country.
This indicates very plainly
the intention Of the Milwaukee
to keep north Of the Short Pines
and to invade the Valley creek
country with this branch, as the
routing Of the new line south Of
the Buttes, which has for some
time been matter Of conject-
ure, would take it far off the
course for a line Of this section.
In line with the above, the
Buffalo Era Of July "a has the
following:
Nv. ]. Fogh Of Reva was in
town yesterday on business and
while here informed an Era re-
porter that the Milwaukee sur
lveyors had moved their camp
| to Date last Monday. He stated
they were surveying up Rabbit
creek to the mouth Of Gap
creek, which they followed to
1.-THE gap in the Slim Buttes. In
|2all probability the survey will
follow up the Grand river, after
coming through the gap, which
will mean railroad connections
with the east for Buffalo. =

The Work of Beetles.

There are emergencies in
which the government must de-
part from the usual policy of
conserving the timber and dis
posing Of it by we'll regulated
sales. 1t is sometimes necessa-
| ny to destroy bodies of timber
of considerable extent, or at
least to cut the trees and leave
the logs lying in the woods,
where they may, or may not,
become useful before decay sets
in. Such apparent wasteful-
ness is mode necessary most
frequently by attacks of the
Black Hills beetle upon the
western yellow or Rocky Noun
tain pine. The destruction of
beetle-infested trees is in re-
atty no more wasteful than
would be the destructive action
necessary to stamp out an in
fictitious disease among cattle,
horses or sheep. Trees which
have been attacked by. the
Black Hills pine beetle are har-
boring the dangerous pest for
almost year after the attack
is made. After that period,
the beetles having left them,
they are no more a menace
than are the bleached bones of
a steer scattered upon the prai-
RE.
The Black Hills beetle has
long since passed beyond the
confines of the region which
gives it a name. Last winter
the insect was discovered in Is
abel National Forest in South
ern Colorado. AS the result of
1908 depredations, nearly 900
yellow pine trees, practically in
a solid body, We're dying. The
timber was not damaged for
commercial purposes, but the
local market was not such as to
Induce any one to handle the
proposition of cutting the trees
for lumber. The trees contain
ed larvae of the beetle, which,
liz all matured, would have been
sufficiently numerous to have
successfully attacked several
thousand trees during the sum-
mer Of 1909. Immediate &C

st. Paul, Jan. 14.--Politics was
played to a finish in the senate to-
day, with the Republicans coming off
victors as a result of their over
whelming majority. The political ball
opened with Senator Works of Man
kato requesting the adoption of his
resolution to appoint joint commit
tee of six, three from each house, to
draft bill for state department of
lands, as was suggested in the govern
prs report Works is an active demo-
crat, and the republicans resented his
attempt to boost the governors plans.
Such a bill will be considered little
later, but when it is, the. republicans
intend 1t shall originate with some re-
publican. and not with a democrat.
Accordingly resolution was adopted
referring the Works resolution. with
all recommendations of the governors
message, to the proper committees on
the various subjects. Ole Sageng, the
populistic member from Otter Tail,
wanted to know what the resolution
meant Senator Thorpe of Kandiyohi,
said such a resolution was customary
in congress relative to the presidents
message. John Moonan of Waseca,
raised laugh by explaining that the
rules Of congress have evidently been
changed, as it seems to be now GUS
tomary to lay the presidents mes
sage upon the table.
The senate was in session just As
minutes in all today, including three
minutes devoted to the opening prayer
by the chaplain. Another supply of
new bills came in. These included the
following: by Pauly, for non-partisan
primary nomination of district and
probate judges; by Nelson. creating
a ten per cent income tax on owners
of iron mine properties; by Peterson,
to increase pay of petit jurors from
81 to SO. Two bills to pension those
who fought in Minnesota Indian mas
sacres of 1862 were offered, one by
Wright, one by Works; both calling
for $12 per month pensions.
