New Jerseys Great Task

for this of giant toll that the God of Dynamite
grds up his oins and piles miracle miracle in achieve
ment. Thirteen cars loaded with dynamite
the cutoff each month from the nearest powder works.
Allowing four hundred and fifty cases of fifty pounds
each to car, we have total of two hundred and
nlnety-two thousand five hundred pounds used there
IN single month, which amounts to almost ten thou
sand pounds daily. And that has been going on for
year already and the end is not yet.
One would fancy that such quantity must set those
peaceful hills shudder and keep them WE'LL it does
literally. The towns roundabout know that Within
radius of few miles old plasterng is raining most of

mass at the first trumpet blast of doom. That house
will be plastered after the work the cutoff is ended

In blasting for the Panama Canal, the amount of

In the years of the century the employment of

Popular Exaggerations
VAST as are the forces of ntroglycerin masked in
dynamite, the popular idea exaggerates these
powers absurdly. One simpleton strove to DESTROY
London Bridge with some ounces of the powder An
other thought that few pounds would suffice to blow
the House of Parliament into nothingness His bomb
drove hole through the ground floor and broke several
panes from the wndows-that was all. Governments
have times without number wasted money the
sructon of guns that would throw or two pounds
of dynamite.
Ten pounds of dynamite dropped a battleship
would do harm whatsoever unless it struck an in
dlvdua as mi ht bullet, or fell down smokestack.
For that matter, batteship would be little affected
by the explosion of as much as hundred pounds of
dynamite its deck.
1t is truth capable of demonstration that hundred
of dynamite let fall into the heart of CITY would do
than wreck the buildings ad acent the point
whereon it FELL shake the houses thoroughly for dis
lance of several blocks in every direction and elsewhere
the breaking of much glass The loss of life would
be astonshingy small. A little consideration of the
manner in which the inverted of incandescent gas
ascends will show why it would be impossible destroy
city by any quantity of dynamite, the hugest,
thus dropped
None the less after the correction of fantastic errors
the fact remains that the working power of dynamite is
OF the most titanic. The British thermal unit is the
measure of that heat required to raise distilled water
degree Fahrenheit, from thrtynne forty degrees.
One such heat unit is sufficient to lift weight of seven
hundred and seventy-two pounds through a distance
of one foot Or a heat unit equals hundred and
seventy-two foot pounds. One pound of dynamite
equals in power three thousand heat units. In other
words, pound of the explosive would lift hun
dred and seventy-two pounds three thousand feet.
One ton of dynamite would lift weight of six million
six hundred and eight thousand three hundred and
twenty pounds to within three inches of the highest

Minnesota Union Advocate: Don't
lay down your nickel or dime for just
any cigar a clerk happens to hand you.
See that what you get comes out of a
box that bears the union label, and you
will get a good cigar made under san
itary conditions and by workmen who
get good wages. If you don't do this
you become at once an employer of
cheap paid, non union labor. In other
words, you pay for the employment or
children who should be in school and
also men and women whose wages
combined do not equal the wages of
a union man at fair scale.
Working under such conditions it
is necessary for the head of the house,
the wife and all the children to work
long hours and endure serious hard
ships TO make enough to keep the
family going, and all the opportunities
of schooling, recreation and the other
things that go to make up the general
development of the human character
are necessarily thrown away or ig-
nored. 1

When you purchase cigars that do

New think this matter over. You owe
1t to your city, to your fellow man
and to yourself to know what you
are smoking when you purchase cigar,

which you take your purchase. Other

NAL and that VII make it more dis
agreeable. Next bulletin will give a
general forecast of March weather and
will be important in its relations to
winter grains. Wheat is, more than
usual, an important crop because the
acreage is unusually large and its con-
dition5 are better than the normal at
this season. At the close of February
the growing wheat crop will be bet
ter than the normal both in condition
and acreage. and will probably have
some effect in keeping -,rices down.
A month ago / advised farmers THAT
the great spectators would make an
effort to depress prices before the end
of March, and we have seen corn go
down at Chicago from above 20 to be-
low 66. Cats prices have been going
down and will probably go lover.
The growing wheat crop and the
conditions of corn no. yet slivered
are favorable to the lower prices that
big spectators appear to be reaching
out after Vast quantities of corn, full
of moisture have been delivered to the
elevators; they have dried it, cured it
and much of it will now sell for grad
ed corn.
The vast oats crop has not yet been
delivered and prices have been too
high Look out for a tumble in the
prices of oats. A large part of the
greatest oats crop ever produced re-
mains undelivered. 1t must come out
and when it does price, will go down.
For above reasons March crop
weather will be of more than usual
interest and next bulletin will discuss
that problem.

At a special election held at the

& Labor assembly last evening, John
Logan, delegate from the tailors,
union, was elected to fill the vacancy
in the office of president, caused by
the departure of b. F. Lathrope for. the
west two weeks ago. Logan is recog-

which he represents.
The proposition of building trades

the assembly. 1t is anticipated that
Fargo will soon have such an organi-
