The physical valuation OF rail-
roads is demanded in the report Of
the interstate commerce commits
sion submitted to congress.
The report says that the rail-
roads balapce sheets purporting
to give the "cost OF property"
does not give reliable suggestion
either Of money invested or Of the
present value OF the railroad.
The report says that railroad

COUNTY DIVISION SNAGS
Constitutional Limit May Check
Schemes.
one MORE SENATOR ALLOWED
And Constitution Will Permit One
More House Member.

With five or six new counties clam.
orlng to be created at the coming
session OF the legislature the county
divisionists are facing the question Of
furnishing representation for them.
Five OF them at least will have to 90
without a senator, and which one Of
the six will get the single one yet to
be apportioned, may be the bone Of
contention that will deadlock the
whole question OF county division.
says the Preston News.
The constitution of Idaho provides
that the state may have twenty-four
senators and no more. Twenty three
OF these are already apportioned,
leaving but one to be given to the
next county created. This fact was
developed 10 the last session Of the
legislature, and was one OF the factors
that helped to defeat several county
division bills introduced during that
session. There are some geographic
differences to be settled in the loca-
tion OF that twenty-fourth senator.
and naturally several sections Of the
state are equally Jealous Of the addt-
tiOnal strength that may be given
out 10 the distribution.
Not only is there question OF con-
test looming over the apportionment
Of the twenty. fourth senator, but also
10 the contest over q re-appOrtion-
ment OF the senators OF the state
when the creation Of joint senators
| begins. II Eve or six new counties
are created, 1t will be necessary to
create as many, less one, joint sena-
torial districts and naturally some
friction will result over tbs distribu-
ton OF representation.
Another phase Of the matter comes
up 10 the distribution Of representa-
ii YES to the lower house Of the state
legislature. The constitution pro-
vides for a Limitation Of sixty mem
bers in the house and the last appor'
tionmeut bill distributes flfty.nine o.
these. In the creation Of new coun
ties there will be only one new hOus'
mem Der to be added to the present
!, roll and the new counties created vii
have to get their representation b.
, taking away members from tn
counties out of whose territory the,
, are carved.

w.ddine Ring Notices.

When posies or notices Inscribed
inside wedding rings were first intro
duced does not seem to be known.
but from the sixteenth century until
the middle Of the eighteenth II was
customary to ,hnye them engraved on
rings. These notices seldom consist
ed Of more than two lines at verse.
often Of only one. but there arc a
few instances known where three
lines were used. Son,e ~ these posies
are very quaint and curious. and q
few reach a high xtaDdnrd OF poetic
beauty. The South Kenslngton rnu-
scum has good collection of posy
rings. and among them are the fol-
lowing Inscriptions: United hearts

Our readers may consider It a work

F, A, PATRICK & COMPANY
WHOLESALE DRY GOODS
AND MANUFACTURERS

None of Duluth's large wholesale
concerns show more strikingly than
F. A. Patrick & Co., wholesale dry
goods, the emendous advantage of
location enjoyed by commercial in
interests at the Head Of the Lakes,
when combined with enterprise and
energy.
In ten years this young giant
among dry goods houses has come
into being, and gone ahead Of seve-
ments in the Northwest, three or
four times as old as this Duluth
house.
The past summer has witnessed F..
A. Patrick & Co., make additions to
Its equipment which have nearly
doubled its capacity for business. The
acquisition of that large six story
brick building formerly occupied by
the Imperial Flour Mill on Rice's
Point is one of the additions to which
We refer.
Included in the premises with this
brick building, which F. A. Patrick
& Co., have turned into splendily
equipped wooden mill, are extensive
storage buildings, dock warehouse,
and a large private dock at which
lake freight carriers unload their
cargoes of merchandise from the
East.
The establishment of F. A. Pat
rick & Co., also includes their i'm
mense main building at 5th Avenue
West, warehouse near it, and a.
branch manufacturing establishment
at Superior, Wis.
Inc remarkable success and devel-
opment of this gigantic dry goods,
establishment while due to a consid-
cradle extent to the advantages of
location is due to a. greater ex-
tent to the excellent organization of
the concern, and the skill and broad
minded policy of the enterprising men
who make up that organization.

The most of Duluth's heaviest NUM-

feat at the hands of the authorities.
The most of Duluth's heaviest NUM-
cipal undertakings have cen under
taken and perfected under the sup
ervision of Mr.. Mcdonnell as con-
tractor, and in every single instance
the work was performed in manner
creditable to the contractor and in
every respect satisfactory and profit
able to the city. Nor is Mr.. McDon-
nelrs activities confined to the city
of Duluth. Many of the principal
cities of the Northwest have been the
scene of his operations, and the La
Dor World has yet to learn of single
instance where the rendition Of his
work was not prominently satisfac-
tory. Mr.. Mcdonnell is the inventor
of the celebrated Donnelite pave
ment. This pavement for service,
durability and general efficiency
meets all the requirements of the
most exacting engineer.

Oeen exceedingly satisfactory: g. very
large percentage Of the people who
have purchased have actually moved
out and settled on the land School
houses have been built upon several
OF these tracts which is something
which would come very slowly If the
settlement were more scattered: tele
phone lines have been run out and
street car Improvements nave been
made to accommodate these who have
actually gone to live on these tracts
Of from one to three acres, and every
one interested has worked for the
community interest Of the settlement.
1t is good indication in any COM
munity to see a healthy demand
amongst tho salaried people and
working people in general for homes,
end this is especially !rue when this
demand Is in the direction of getting
more than the ordinary home site.
that is, more than the ordinary build

thereby cut out the rent problem,
making himself Independent of the

Last summer this firm subdivided
100 acres near Proctor, into tracts
running from half acre to two and
one-han acres and they have only
about 25 of these left and the parties
who have purchased are holding on
very tight and expect these improve
ments referred to above very shortly.
and in addition to that there is what
amounts to almost certainty that
the street car line will be extended
from West Duluth to Proctor within
a very short while which will give
these parties immediate access to
West Duluth so that a man living
in West Duluth could keep his family
upon one of these tracts and reach it
every night after working
We are reliably informed that the
firm is now perfecting arrangements
to open tracts this spring In Wood
land and other directions. They have
had a great deal Of experience along
this line and we believe that they are
doing thoroughly good work in this
direction. They sell on very easy
weekly payments without interest and
make it as easy as possible for a
purchaser to obtain a homesite
The gentlemen comprising this firm
are thoroughly experienced in their
important line, and through courte-
Gus and fair treatment Of their pat
rons have a high standing in this
community, where their we'll known
integrity and business reliability re-
hands. The firm of w. M. Prindle
& co. is probably as we'll known as
any real estate firm in the north
west and are everywhere recognized
as honorable, trustworthy and f1nan-
cially sound and eliable.

The editor of The JeffersOnian saw the
above clipping from the Inter-Ocean and
wanted to know of this new formula for
curing kidney trouble.
Arrangements were then made by which
DR.. Lynott offers The JeffersOnian readers
a free treatment. DR.. Lynott, however,
says that he proposes to give the free
treatment only for a limited time to con-
vince the public in every part of the
United States of the positive wonderful
efficacy of his treatment
Furthermore, DR.. Lynott wants to make
it clear that he has no "cure-all" He is
a specialist in kidney and bladder dis
eases and rheumatism, SO please do not
write to him unless you have one Of these
diseases. If you write at once both the
medical advice and the medicine are en-
tirely free.
The editor of this paper, The Jefferson
ian, feels that with such a free offer, any
body who stays sick with kidney trouble
or rheumatism deserves to be sick.
[ know that a good many free offers
have been advertised where the public
had to send money, but this free offer
really IS a FREE OFFER. And remem-
Der that instead of getting an ordinary
physician, you get the medical advice free
direct from Americas greatest of all spe-
cialists on these diseases. See Free treat
