the use in private travel They were
restrained by reasons which they did
not publicly discuss. At the same
time railroad officials were complain
ing so bitterly that Congress voted
$4,000 a year for their relief. But
before Congress acted Mr.. Roosevelt
had taken at the stockholders expense
junkets which for train charges alone
would have cost an ordinary citizen
the amounts given in the submitted
summary.
Mr.. Roosevelt's craving for special
trains and travel during his term in
the White House seemed to railroad
men to be Unsuitable.
"Mr. Roosevelt" they said, Seems
to consider that special trains and
private cars are part of the perqui.
sites of the presidency and he orders
them whenever the humor seizes
him"
The railroads, in other words, were
beginning to feel that Mr.. Roosevelt
was abusing their courtesy and that
it was time he offered to pay for at
, least some of the cars and trains he
was ordering so recklessly. While
they would not dun the President, they
considered that, in some cases, he
should have directed his secretary to
ask for his account.
Method Of Giving Orders.
A high official of one Of the roads
that hauled Mr. Roosevelt once said:
This is the way we usually got our
orders; Roosevelts secretary would
call on the long distance telephone the
president of the particular trunk line
which Mr.. Roosevelt contemplated pa
/ tronizing. To him he would impart
the following information:
The President with certain public
officers and friends desires to leave
Washington on a certain date for a
| trip through certain states, stopping
at certain cities For this purpose he
/ NN'AANo a obNNApA u an anu chkbthlH
| for his own use a certain private car
which he has already used and which
suits him. He would also like to have
certain porter (name given), who
has served with him before and whom
he liked. He would also like the fol-
lowing special supplies (named) for
the dining car in addition to the or
binary commissary"
This is understood to have been the
modus operandi in arranging for the
Presidents great bear-hunting trip to
Colorado. In that case, it Is said, the
railroad informed the secretary that a
nominal charge of $50 a day would be
made for the whole special train fully
Differed and provisioned This
brought forth an immediate protest
There was no authorized appropriation
out Of the public funds, said the secre
tary, and the President could not pos
sibly afford to pay 1t out Of his OWL
salary.

The campaign doggerel that was
framed to the cadence of the big bass
drum is seldom heard in the land
nowadays, though it is not so many
years since little boys of stanch De-
mocratic principles used to go step
ping about to the tune of "Soap-soap
-Blaines only hope" and other scan
dalous ditties. Marion Harland, in
her autobiography, quotes a march
ing song of this variety that dates
from the days when Henry Clay was
a candidate for the Presidency. It
runs:

The author adds: Bacon being a

NEW YORK, September ga Phi
ladelphia special to the New York
World says:
John H. Devine, head of large COM
mercial printing house in this city,
has sent the following letter to the
President of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company:
Philadelphia, Sept. %, 1910.
"Mr. James McCrea, President Penn
sylvania Railroad, Philadelphia.
Dear Sir:-As a stakeholder of the
Pennsylvania railroad, have been
greatly surprised to learn there is an
account long overdue for transporta-
ton furnished by it to Theodore
Roosevelt 1t is a matter of quite gen
eral knowledge, so | learn, that this
account amounts to more than $780,
600.
Whether the person owing such ac-
count be a President or a former Pre-
sident, or whoever he may be, the in
terests of the Pennsylvania railroad,
it seems to me, demand that there be
settlement. Will you advise me If
am correctly informed and, if so, is
there any reason why this debt should
not be paid? Will you also kindly in
form me what steps have been taken,
if any, in behalf of the company to
collect the amount due, and what
prospect there is, if any, of it's set
tlement?
VERY traly yours,
JOHN H. DEVINE."
Theodore Roosevelt's extraordinary
travelling at the expense of the stock
holders of the railroads during the
first four years of his presidency re-
suited in Congress appropriating $685.
600 a year to meet the cost of neces-
sary presidential travel in the fu-
ture, No provision was made how
ever to reimburse the railroads for
Mr.. Roosevelts extravagant use of
| special trains, which were furnished
for his bear hunts, his turkey hunts,
his alternative lion-killing expedi-
tions, his home goings and comings
and for the transportation of his
friends, his servants, his horses and
goods.
Burden on Pennsylvania.
On the stockholders of the Pennsyl-
yania railroad the burden fell most
heavily, since nearly all of the presi-
dental junkets started out from Wash
ington over that companys lines. To
it fell also the lot of furnishing all of
the transportation between the White
House and Oyster Bay. The Penn,
! sylyania furnished Mr. Roosevelt with
over 100000 in free transportation
and in inner railroad circles it has
been common knowledge for several
years that this remains unpaid.

J. M. judd, of LOOMS, was in Oro-
vile Monday on business. Mr.. Judd
is one of the oldest residents of Loomis.
When he located there he lived in a
tent, as did many of the first arrivals
attracted by the discovery of gold. The
others have faded away, scattering to
the four winds of heaven, and else
where, but Mr.. Judd still holds the
fort, and will probably continue to do
so the balance of his days. Mr.. Judd
has not been in robust health for sew
eral years, although he was looking
better when here than he has for a
long time, which was particularly graf
flying to his friends here, as he was
reported to be on the sick list last
week.

for the stricken man, but Benson never

BIG CHRISTMAS TRADE.

There were fewer people from the
country in Oroville day or two be-
fore Christmas than ever before on a
similar occasion since the town came
into existence. The fact is ready mon
ey is not so much in general circula-
ton just at the present time as it has
been in past years at this season. The
farmer feels the effects of a partial
crop failure in shortage of receipts,
and feels that the practice Of economy
just at the present time is necessary.
Yet the absence of the farmer must
not be taken as an indication that
there was any great falling off in the
holiday trade. just the contrary is re-
ported by those engaged in business.
While the buying may have been
largely confined to local patrons, the
population was undoubtedly moved by
a spirit of liberallty, for there was a
pretty lively rush at every store in
town for several days prior to Christ
mas.

last Sunday afternoon and not only
were party of Devils Lake girls left
in the lurch as far as chances to get
home were concerned, but the bashful
young man who was pilot for the
young ladies on the road to Lakota
was left behind, while the young ladies
chartered hay rack for the journey
homeward. They found out before they
had travelled far that the Great North.

on his way as he has made himself
scarce in these parts due to the "jolly'
which was in store for him here.

A wedding of considerable import

this city when two prominent people
of York were united in marriage by
Rev. Barron. The contracting parties
were Ole Tollefson a well known and
prosperous farmer of York and Miss
Violet Clausen of the same place. The
newly married couple remained in
Devils Lake for several days before
returning to York where they will
make their home. Both are well
known here, Mr.. Tollefson having been
former resident Of Ramsey county.

GETTING ON
TOP LIST
DEVILS LAKE SHOWS HOW IT
LIKES THE BEST IN THE
THEATRICAL LINE.

Devils Lake is fast becoming metro
politan. At the production of paid
in Full' Friday night the applauding
was nearly all that could be desired.
These little helps to the actors en-
courage and assist them, and when an
audience is "cold"' the actor becomes,
Observation-Disclosures. All through
the play the applause was encourag-
ing and at the end of the third act,
when curtain calls were made until
all of the important members of the
cast were brought before the foot
lights, one would imagine that one
was in Chicago or New York. Let us
keep5up the good work.
Another thing that deserves men,
ton and for which Messrs. Cowley
and Nimmo should be thanked Is their
not allowing any one to be seated
during the performance and insisting
on the tardy ones waiting at the back
Of the house until the end Of the first
act. Many good scenes are spoiled to
the whole audience where forty or
fifty people are seated up towards the
front after the curtain goes up. There
is bound to be more or less noise and
confusion and as the plot 10 always
laid in the early part of the first act,
it is often left in doubt respecting
some points where many speeches are
lost by Interruptions caused by late
corners. No blame is placed on those
who come late. It used to be that
plays started at nearly nine. We have
to get educated and now that we are
to have some more excellent plays
and good companies, we are glad this
rule Is enforced.

THANKSGIVING DESERT MAY BE
MINUS QUANTITY WHEN BIG
FESTIVE DAY ARRIVES.

A pumpkin shortage is reported, but
receivers say that there win be enough
to supply the demand and that the
shortage is not as large as first seem
ed. Pumpkins are selling wholesale
at $3.50 a dozen, which is slightly
higher than recent quotations of $1.25
a dozen. Indiana, which furnishes the
bulk Of the canned product, reports
slight shortage and packers have ad-
vanced prices on some grades. Pump
kins need sharp frost to kill the
vines and stop the growth of the pum-
pdn after which 1t begins to mature
and turn the yellow color which dis
tinguishes the ripened article. This
season, instead of killing frosts, there
was turn of cold weather that not
only destroyed the vines, but also dam
aged the pumpkin itself. Pumpkins in
many parts of the biggest producing
region have not matured as they
should and are becoming soft.
The cool weather has stimulated to
noticeable degree the demand fol
dried fruits and trading now resem
bles that of few weeks ago. The
market is practically the same as be
fore the reaction following the frs
heavy sales to the jobbing and retail
trade. Canned goods are in excellent
demand. r
The eastern tomato pack amounts K
about sc per cent of normal and thu
western pack is only Is per cent O.
normal. The shortage which is nov
evident, accounts for the firmer price,
in canned tomatoes Peas are scarce
and prices are firm.

New York, June 5.-while on her
way to church Miss Margaret Nc
Phaii of singac, y. j., had an excitins
experience with a huge chicken hawk
which made off with her chantecler
hat. says the American.
When near the schoolhouse on
Pompton turnpike, she first noticed
the hawk lowering over her. but high
up in the air. The bird, after cir

nearer to her. suddenly sWooped dow
on her head and seized the hat I
fluttered and pulled at the headgear
while Miss McPhail screamed. Tw,
girl friends ran to her assistance
Miss Minnie Hartsdorf reached her
first. and she tried TO drive off thu
bird, but the hawk Tapped his wings
wildly several times, striking Mis-
Hartsdorf i'm the face and binding
her for the time being.
Miss McPhail was so frightened
that she sank to the ground. BY that
time the hatpins had worked loose
and the hawk flew away with tho
headgear in its claws. When over
the Parraic river the bird evidently
discovered IL had made a mistake and
dropped the hat, which fell into the
water near the Signac bridge. where
a number Of men and boys were fish
ing.
Finding she was more scared than
hurt Miss McPhail rushed to the river
bank. The hat was then floating un-
der the bridge and several Of the fish
ermen tried to hook il. but were I'M
successful. At that moment Howard
Jackson Of Montclair. a member of
the Sunnyside Canoe club, came
around the bend of the river i'm his
canoe. padding up stream. The men
called out to him to secure the hat.
which he did. and returned II to the
owner. who was profuse in her
thanks. Miss McPhail attended
church, little late, but she did not
wear the hat
