Railroad News
MUST KEEP ALL
R. R. RECORDS
THE PASSENGER AND FREIGHT
AGENTS RECEIVE NEW ORDERS
FROM THE INTERSTATE COM.
MISSION THAT MUST BE FAITH.
FULLY oBEYEp.

Agents both freight and passenger
of all local roads, have had lot of
extra work thrust upon them by a
recent ruling of the interstate COM
merce commission. 1t refers to the
filing of the records. The new orders
supercede those on the same subject
which were issued last July.
The orders just received provide for
the filing away Of all records in all
to the public at all times. Depending
on the class of record the time OF
keeping them ranges from one year
for minor and unimportant matters,
to permanently, for such matters as
deed titles, stockholders reports, etc.
Most of the records are to be kept
from one to eight years.
In the order all records are COM
prised under no less than sixty four
headings, making a formidable list of
papers to file away.
II means for one thing that local
ticket agents will be compelled to keep
on file for seven years their daily
balance sheets. The penalty for a
failure to comply with these orders in
some cases is loss of position and
in others criminal prosecution. Most
of the records mentioned in the order
have been kept on file before, but the
new order specifies the length of time
in each individual case. In time it
will require additional storage room
in all the ticket Offices and freight
houses.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

Last night Senator Talcott and sew
eral others of the Fargo and Grand
Forks delegation went home for the
recess.
Rep. Joe Akesson of Cass county
gave a little party last night in his
apartments at the Mckenzie The feat
ure of the evening was a prolonged
game Of nulla-g rande.
There was general exodus of all
kinds of honorables yesterday when
the recess was announced as GER
tainty.
1t is said that Senator Linde, the
popular member of the upper house
from Mountrail county and assistant
states attorney Of that county also,
is introducing some prettey sane bills.
Two Of the bills yesterday were inn
portant ones, one for prohibiting adj
ministrators from acting as attorneys
for estates they represent and the
other for the prohibition OF unfair
discrimination of commodities and
competition between sections in var
ious parts of the state.
Linde sits back and speaks when he
feels it is necessary and doesn't waste
any unnecessary breath as a few do
who are continually rising to explain
their votes. The senator from Noun
trail, who was representative two
years ago, is known as the man who
does the right thing at the right time.
He is popular and we'll liked and has
started boom for Senator Talcott for
governor.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inlamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, deafness is the result, and unless
this Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-
Gus surfaces.

Jones:

NO" said Jones, in surprise.
why, because your better half is

Smith.
Jones thought over the matter all
the way home, and on arriving he
looked at Mrs. Jones with the express
sion of a man who is about to do him
self proud, and said:

There was a long silence from Mrs.

Others Paved Way For Wilson's arrival

and had fought equally as strongly for
popular government and the rectifica-
ton of abuses, he would in all likeii-
hood have been defeated and retired to
the college presidency instead of be-
coming a very interesting factor IN
the coming presidential contest.
1t is too often the case that reform
ers fight hard for reforms. are decried,
denounced. sneered at and buffeted,
only in the end to see the reforms they
advocated become popular and the
means of placing other men in posi-
tons to reap the glory that comes to
the successful political reyolutionist.
To say that Gov Wilson is, in meas
ure, in the latter class, is not detract-
ing from his work for true democracy,
his able fight for the return Of govern
mental powers into the hands of men
truly representative of the people, but
it is useless to deny, or attempt 20
conceal, that he came into the arena
at an exceedingly propititions moment
when the seed that had been sowing
for some years by determined men on
either side of the political line was
about to bear fruit 1t is unfair TO
LaFollette to say that it took him years
to get where Wilson has arrived in
three months" because to La Toilette
belong in a considerable degree the
credit for the creation of conditions
that permitted Wilson to arrive" at
all. All honor TO Wolson, but at the
same time all honor TO the men who
cut away the brush, swept aside the
barriers, fought the good fight when 0
fight was unpopular, and paved the
way for Wilson's triumph in New Jar-
sey. Without them Wilson had not
arrived in three months" nor PROB
ably in three years, for that matter.
There is plenty of honor to go round
and it is not necessary to depreciate
others to make Gov Wilson loom the
larger.
