ITO ENLARGE
Their FIELD
Wibaux To Be Invaded by Our En-
terprising Firm Of Power & Wag-
ner. Three Stores on the n. P.

Power 4 Wagner, proprietors of
Beach's justly popular clothing
house, are about to branch out and
increase their already large field
of business. This firm has "made
good" in its stores here and at
Wadena. Mimi, and feels that
another stove or two, more or less,
could be handled easily enough.
Accordingly. they have leased
building at Wibaux and will open
up, about February l. a first-class
line of men 5 and boys clothing,
furnishings, etc., and will show
the people Of our neighboring
town how an up-to-snuff', exclus-
i've clothing store should be con-
Quoted. and what one looks like.
T. J. Power, the genial cerk at
the Beach store, will be manager
Of the Wibaux concern. and. hav-
ing already an extensive acquaint-
ance in that town and vicinity, and
possessing a thorough knowledge
of the clothing business, will
doubtless achieve the same success
that has characterized the firms
other ventures.
With three stores on the line Of
the N. P, Power & Wagner have
splendid facilities for catering to
their trade, this also giving them
a very great advantage in pur-
chasing goods.

To Raise Rural Carriers Paw

Blaidsdell Bulletin: {" W h y
should city letter carrier receive
more pay than rural carrier?"
is a question Senator McCumber
would like to have congress an
swer. "There is no answer pos
sible.' says McCumber, t'and
propose to do what l can to have
the salaries Of the rural carriers
placed upon more equitable ba.
sis"
Pursuant to the above declara
tion Mr.. McCumber has introduced
bill in the senate whereby every
rural carrier serving daily routes
Of twenty-four miles or more shall
receive $1,000 per year, payable
monthly, those serving less mileage
to draw a salary in proportion to
their services. A further provis-
ion that no salary be fixed less
than $500 per year is also provided
for.
In discussing this bill the sage
Of Wahpeton said that rural car
riers. if anything. were being dis.
criminated against in the matter
of salaries and that this was ap.
parent when one takes into consid'
Grafton the present salary of rural
carriers, $504 to 5000 and the fac1
that every rural letter carrier il
compelled to furnish and maintain

Of Beach Business Men
Glendive, Mont, Jan. 18. 1910.
Mr.. F. D. Cooper,
Agent, Beach.

Agent, Beach.
Dear SIR
Referring to your letter of
January 9Th. transmitting petit
tion from business men of Beach
requesting that we locate the pro-
posed new depot on the south side
of the main line at your station.
The matter Of changing the
location to the south side as been
taken up with the engineering
department and also with the
General Superintendent and any
such change would result in our
being obliged to rebuild all pass
ing tracks, coal dock. track ar
rangements, etc. etc., at prob
able expense of $8,O0O.0O.
In view Of this fact we have
decided that the new depot will
be constructed on the north side
Of the main line at Beach at the
foot of Grant street.
Yours truly,
B. o. johnson,
Superintendent.

hard to spare her from our midst.

At the homestead, at the fireside,
There will be vacant chair;
Lonely feelings hover o'er US,
For dear mother is not there.
Bearing bravely all her suffering,
Uncomplaining. not a sigh
Never once was heard to murmur,
If she tho't that she must die.
Loved one how we miss your pres

Silently we bow our head;
Thou art gone but not forgotten,
Only numbered with the dead.

WARDEN NORTON'S RECORD.

The Lewiston Journal last Saturday had an
has resigned the position of warden of the
State prison in Thomaston to engage in busi-
ness in Belfast, and in view of the scurrilous
and unwarranted attack upon this faithful Of
cial published in the Waldo County Herald last
week we quote from the article as follows:
When in a period of six years man changes
a deficit of $4,000 to $4,000 to profit of
from $4,000 to SIC, 900 he deserves much credit.
If he never performs another public act
Bernes y. Norton, warden of the Maine State
prison, has by his administration OF the affairs
OF that institution won the praise Of an entire
State. In the time stated he has turned it
from a burden upon the taxpayers to more
than self-sustaining. That is something which
will make for him place in the history of
Maine; place among those men who, when
lntrusted with public duty, have held it
sacred and worked to the best of their ability
to perform it.
Before Mr.. Norton was appointed warden he
had made record as Deputy United States mar
shal. He was fearless in the discharge of his
often dangerous duties. and soon won the re-
putation of being one of the best officials ever
connected with the marshals office. OF the work
he has done at the State prison we have not
space to speak in detail now He has improy-
ed the buildings, the discipline and the method
Of caring for the prisoners. What he has done
along these lines has given him reputation
abroad, and he has had calls from the States of
Connecticut and Michigan to take charge of
their penal institutions at double the salary he
was receiving in Maine. But he had tired
after fourteen years of his work among crimi-
mails, and of the confinement it involved, and
declined both propositions to settle down in a
business of his own and with his family enjoy
more of life. The article in the Lewiston
Journal concludes as follows:
Bernes 0. Norton will turn the State prison
over to his successor in a clean, prosperous
condition. When he goes there will be general
regret among those who have followed his ad-
ministration there. The State is to lose the
services of valuable man, but with him 90
the best wishes of all for his future success
