WEALTHY FARMERS MAY
FINANCE RAILWAY LINE.

Winona, Mimi, March 10.-A rail-
road line connecting Fountain City
and Gilmanton, Wis, seems practi-
cally an assured fact. Wealthy farm
ers are back of the agitation and
should the line be constructed it
would open to river traffic the rich
est farming community in Wisconsin
and the entire northwest. 1t would
pass through the famous Waumandee
valley, known for it's fertile soil and
rich farmers. ...
The agitation was started some
months ago, but a lulu came in the
project because 1t was said the incline
OF the bluffs would make the building
of the road enormously costly. Last
week Civil Engineer A. e. Rau and
his assistants of st. Paul were called
in and they pronounced the project,
after a careful survey, entirely FEAST
BILE. The result was renewed enthu-
siasnn, and the announcement is given
out that the line is almost a certainty,
It will connect with the Burlington
road at Fountain City. Gilmanton
the terminal of the line in Buffalo
county, is enjoying a boom at present
A new $1,000 school building is being
built, and new banking building, 33X
"a feet, Is about to be constructed.

makes a great deal of difference in his
freight bills whether he is able to have
the benefit of competing lines or not.
For instance, a shipment Of $40 pounds
of printed matter from New York city
consigned to the Tribune in December,
proved to us the value OF competition
in matters Of freight shipments. The
freight charge on this shipment from
New York city to Hamline, Mimi,
transfer was $5.S7, and the charge
from there to Rugby was $500. Don't
that look just little like a hit-and-
miss method of doing business? That's
the way it looks to us. Everyone
knows that the distance between New
York city and Hamline, Mimi, Is four
or five times greater than the dis
lance between Hamline. Mimi, and
Rugby, N. D., and 1t would seem that
there should be a more just basis for
transportation charges. While we be-
lieve that a corporation or an indt-
vidual should have the privilege of
managing their own business accord
ing to their own ideas. there should
certainly be a limit, and in the mat
ter of railway transportation charges
particularly, when unjust charges are
made, our Uncle Sam, the state rail-
way commission or someone in au-
thority should step in and establish
, a just and equitable basis of figuring
such charges.

Railroad News
DOES RAILROAD
Competition PAY?
RUGBY TRIBUNE QUOTES SOME
PERTINENT FIGURES WHICH
TEND TO ANSWER IN
AFFIRMATIVE.

Rugby Tribune: A local party who
wished to ship some potatoes this
spring, upon inquiry, found that the
rate for a car of potatoes from Rugby
to ST. Paul, is $54, while the rate from
Rugby to Minot is $50. The haul from
Rugby to st. Paul is over 400 miles
while the haul from Rugby to Minot
Is only about so miles.
If there is anyone who can see the
slightest semblance of fairness in such
rates, we would like to see the color
of their hair. We are mighty sure we
cannot figure out what sort of basis
- railway officials figure on to ar
we at such results. 1t looks mighty
much like a hit and miss" plan of
action. Surely there should be more
of a difference between the two rates
above mentioned If there is any effort
at all on the part of the railway peo-
pie to charge rates in accordance with
common ordinary business methods.
Even the highway robber has some
definite plan of action to follow in his
operations. If 1t were a matter of
competition one way or the other it
would not look quite so strange be-
cause most any business man of
North Dakota is fully aware that it

It is stated that measles in the

POr the Woman Who
Has Beautiful Hair
New York Theatrical News.)

The beauties in the Anna Held Choir
us are famous for their pulchritude.
Their coiffures add a great deal to
their charms. How they can man
age such abundance Of beautiful
tresses day in and day out, keeping
always the same well-groomed APP
pearance, is beyond the ken of the
average woman. But. listen while l
whisper, these girls depend altogether
upon dry shampooing to keep their
hair fine and glossy.
They mix ounces of powdered orris
root with ounces of thefox, and they
are prepared for seasons shampoo
ing. Once or twice q week they sprin-
kle tablespoonful OF this mixture on
the head and then brush the powder
well through the hair. That is all
there is to 1T, and they have escaped
the bother and discomfort of drying
the hair, together with the danger of
catching cold.
The wonderful results they achieve
with therox convinces me that Ii is
the only thing that can grow hair, for
their hair is long and abundant in add
dition to being fluffy and lustrous.

''Chun1s.' :

\ EARLY IN the fall the Westons re-
turned to town, for their son, Archie,
must enter school. They had been
snending the summer on their farm.
where Archie had enjoyed every day
during the long heated term. On his
fathers land was a fine old swimming
hole" where Archie often went to have
cooling dip. And with him always
went old Roxie, his fine big dog. And
once when Archie .ventured into water
too deep for him and became so
frightened that he called for help, old
Roxie swan to his assistance, and,
taking him by the collar, drew him to
tl1e bank. From that day Archie and
Roxie became real chums And Archie
looked after Roxie's welfare as though
he were a brother instead of mere
dog. Had not dear old Roxie saved his
life? And could human do more than
that?
on the day that the Westons re-
turned to town Archie took sad fare
well OF Roxie for his father had said
that town was no place for dog. And
SO the family, seated In their automo-
lille turned down the lane leading to-
ward town. Roxie, in charge Of the
farms caretaker, barked after them
mournfully. The caretaker held him by
4 strap which was fastened to strong
collar about his neck; otherwise the
old doggie would have followed his de-
narting chum away. But as sad heart
vas in the automobile as was on the
Farm. for Archie really shed tears

custody by policeman who had read
the reward offered for dog of Roxie s
description, and when the officer
whistled and called "Roxie" tho poor
fellow wagged his tail in q friendly
way and advanced to the uniformed
man. And within q little while he
found himself at the door leading to
a very pretty house. When the door
opened in response to the officers
ring whom should the happy dog see
but Archie. And the greeting be-
tween boy and dog was really touch
ing. "Ah, and SO you followed me to
torn, you dear old chum!" cried
Archie well, Well not send you
back to the farm, my good friend.
Papa has promised that we may build
"a kennel in the rear of the house, and
that you may spend the winter with
us. All, you will become a regular
city dog, won't you, Roxie?"
And Roxie, happier than ever before
in his life, wagged Eyes. my dear
master shall stay near you and
watch over you always. Your home is
the place for your tld chum, Roxie."
And from that day Roxie accom-
panied Archie to school every morning,
returning home from there, and pa
tiently waiting till 4 o'clock, when he
would bound off to meet his master as
he came from school. And they were
even better chums than when In the
country, for in the great, busy town
they seemed to need each other more.
