GOOD THINGS ARE IN
STORE FOR DELTA
BRoADGUAGING PASS WILL HELP
Things the Future Has in Store
Which Will Make IL Bright-in
n Growing Country There are
Always Things Doing.

There is much that looks pleasing
TO the people of this section map
ped out for future delivery.
One of the most important is the
boradguaging of Marshall pass. now
definitely undertaken and to be
rushed to completion
This piece OF work alone. 1t is be-
lieved. will do more for our part OF
the Western Slope and more for the
city OF Delta. than would the i'm
mediate building of a sugar factory,
though the sugar factory is also
hound to come. The increased acre
axe of beets will demand 1t and
there will be no question about its
building.
President Bush, General Manager
Brown, Chief Engineer Gwynn and
E. c. Van Dyke, a financial reporter
for a Wall street journal. recently
made a trip over the road. previous
to which the following report was
given out in Denver by President
Bush:
The Marshall pass line will be
standardized imm mediately. We expect
TO have Il completed in time to han
die the next fruit crop. We have
the money all in hand for the work
and will put a corps of engineers
out on the road within n few days.
AT present We will not change
the grade. leaving the project OF
tunnel at the pass until the traffic
of the future warrants 1t. The grade
on the road, with about forty miles
of four per cent incline. will make
the service slow. probably but little
faster than II Is now, but IL VIII
make II possible to sendtrains on
through to Salt Lake City and Will
avoid the purchase OF any more mar
row gauge equipment.
81 do not think II economy to
buy any more narrowguage cars
We have mentioned the absolute
certainty of the building OF n sugar
factory in Delta. Not only does the
Increased quantity of beets raised
point to the factory. but sugar men
in the field. along with others who
have Investigated II, have virtually
promised to build and operate fac
tory Mt Delta as soon as the field
would Justify IT. and that time viii

v TRUST" CASE.
Courts Asked to Award Owatonna,
MINI, Concern r~hree-foid
Damages.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Probably the
most novel case ever brought to the
supreme court under the Sherman
antitrust law was argued before that
tribunal when a trust" in churns
and butter workers was asked to pay
three-fold damages, or more than
s4o0, 900, for the alleged driving out
Of business of a competitor.
ID. e. Virtue and his Owatonna fan
ning mill company, of Owatonna,
Mimi. are seeking the damages. The
Creamery Package Manufacturing
company and the Owatonna Manufact-
uring company are the corporations
charged with monopolizing the cream
cry supplies trade.
The Creamery Package Manufacture
ing company has plants in Mankato,
Mimi, Mason City, Iowa; Portland
and South Whitley, Ind; Coolwater,
Ohio; Elgln, ILL.,; and Lexington, Mo.
Only ace before has the court been
called upon to consider the section of
The Sherman antitrust law, giving an
aggrieved competitor three-fold dam
ages. The first time was in the Dan
bury Hatters' case. The present case
Is distinguished by a complicated pat
emit question.

Chinese scholars who are dissatis-
hed with the topographic characters in
which their language has always been
written have set out to form Iii alnha-
bet, which they hope to see gradually
adopted by their countrymen.
According to a writer In the New
York World. Chow Hi Chu, secretary
Of the Chinese legation at Rome, as
sisted by Messrs. Wan and Chou. sub
secretaries, and by Signor Rivetta. pro-
lessor of Japanese and Chinese at the
Oriental institute of Naples, is at work
On the project. The latter gives this
description OF the alphabet that has
resulted from their labors:
ITO represent exactly all the sounds
of the Chinese language, we had to
draw upon almost ell existing alpha
bets. The alphabet we have composed
consists of AZ characters, of which %
are novels and 10 are consonants. OF
the vowels, four are taken from the
Greek, four from the Russian, FIVE
from the Latin and one from the Chi
nese. OF the nine others, two are
what we call modified or prolonged
and seven are reversed.
'Of the consonants, IA are taken
from the Latin, three from the Rus
sian and two from the Creek
Youths Companion.

SERVIAh WAR is NECESSARY
CHIEF BELIEVES SWORD ONLY
WAY TO SETTLE TROUBLE.
All the Arrangements for a Peace
Conference In London
Are Complete.

London, Dec. 12.-Oficial quarters
IN Vienna deny that any warifke sig.
nificance attaches to the military
changes, but these assurances fail to
allay the uneasiness aroused by the
Tears that the powerful military party
in Servia may force the hands of the
government.
General Won H~oetzendorff, the new
Austrian chief Of staff, is credited with
being the sworn enemy of Servia and
to have been for a long time possess
ed OF the conviction that nothing but
the sword can settle the defenses be-
tween Austria and Servia.
Further proof has reached London
hat AEstria-Hungary is modifying.
Many Austrian and Hungarian resi-
dents of London, including Count
George Apponyi and the noted artist.
Philip Laszle, have been called to the
,olors.
According to one report Austria in
lends to demand a diminution in the
present strength of the Servian army.
4 demand to which Servia, in her pres
snt temper, is hardly likely to agree.
All arrangements for the peace con-
ference in London are now complete.
Besides being received by the king,
The delegates will be honored with
other entertainments, including a
luncheon, by the lord mayor at the
Guild hall.

Parker Pleads GUILTY..

Blue Earth, Mimi. Dec. 12.-Harry

the State Bank OF Commerce of Win

ment for grand larceny in the first
degree, returned by the grand jury.
No time was set by Judge Quinn for
Imposing sentence. Under the law
Parker's sentence will be an indeter-
inmate one, the maximum of which
can be ten years. officials generally

CHEESE A VALUABLE DIET
Coui With a Large Degree of Salts
faction Be Made to Take the
Place Of Meat.

In America, unfortunately, cheese
seems to be regarded more as a lux.
ury than as a staple article of diet,
yet one pound OF cheese is equal In
food value to two pounds OF meat. It
Is rich In both protein and fat. Con-
sidering this, it's price Is very low,
and 1t ought to do good service In
the place Of meat. It's food value is
fully recognized abroad. In Switzer-
land and TO a great extent In Germany
and Italy, cheese is a part of the
daily food given to the outdoor labor
ers In the place OF meat. A great ad-
vantage In using cheese, and one that
should appeal strongly to the over
worked housewife, is that II is gen
orally given uncooked. There is some
doubt as to the digestibility of cheese.
II Is claimed by noted German sclen.
lists that, when taken In the usual
quantity-from one-fourth to one-half
pound daily-and by people who lead
an active outdoor life, 1t Is about as
easily digested as meat. For the aver
age person. who takes but little out
door exercise. cheese is hard to d.
gest. This Is true of most kinds as
purchased In our market, but the
homemade cottage cheese. often call.
ed clabber cheese, is an exception.
This dish is easy to prepare and is
very economical where there is a
home supply OF milk. 1t is a good way
to use up the overplus of SOU milk
on the farm. Cottage cheese makes a
nice tea or supper dish, and is SO pal
atable and nutritious.

Misft Labels.

"Economizing sometimes produces
ludicrous results" a woman said.
When we moved last October we
used travellers tags to label the

which. as luck would have 1t, hap

LONDON ALARMED :

THREAT OF SCHEME FOR CHRIST
MAS FOLLOWS WHOLESALE
FAKE FIRE ALARMS.
TWO Months Imprisonment for the
Only Women Police
Were Able To
Catch.

London, Dec. 1.-TWO months In
prison was the sentence imposed in
police court on Miss Elsie Howey, the
only suffragette participating in the
false alarm plot whom the police were
able TO catch. The young woman was
seen to turn in a fake alarm from a
corner box. The offense was only a
misdemeanor, and two months i'm
prisonment was the maximum pen
atty.
Others Eiude Officers.
che police were unable to apprehend
any other offenders, because the false
alarms mostly were reported from
public telephone booths, In pay sta
|tions, and the ~suffragettes were gone
before policemen SEN to investigate
could reach the place.
The nerves of London were strained
almost to breaking tension by the
continuous fire alarms, all Of which
proved to be suffragette hoaxes, and
all the flremen were exhausted.
The policemen and firemen were
strong In their denunciations of the
women, and declared that the false
alarm scheme was "the most provok-
ing Of all the outrages perpetrated by
the m~ilitants." Paint and acid in the
letter boxes, said tired policemen, did
not make men run about the streets
all day for nothing.
The suffragettes have given fair
warning that they have a thorough
surprise for Christmas time, but they
refuse to give an inkling of what it
will be, except that it will be some
thing awful

MARRIAGE LICENSES.

A unique thief stole a whole mile
of copper wire from the poles of the
Iron Mountains telegraph system last
Saturday. 1t was the nerviest piece
of work that has been reported to
the police for a long time. Wire Chief
P. y. Hunter, went to his office Sat
urday morning and received a report
from night Chief Holtzman that there
was break in the wire between this
city and st. Louis. 1t so happened
that the break was on one of the cop
per wires that had just been erect
ed Hunter tried and tried, ut
could not find the source of the troll
BILE Finally he located a man up
the line, who started out on his speed
er to make an investigation. For
hours he made no report. Then he
let it be known that he had returned
to his station and when quizZed about
the matter declared that he had been
busy all morning trailing the break
and readjusting the line. He said
that an entire mile of the new cop
per wire had been cut. evidently by
a man experienced in lineman's work.
This wire is valuable and the thief
made quite a haul. His originality
and downright nerve was what as
founded the railroad men more than
the loss of the wire shocked them.
This is the first time such Inert
has been reported on the Iron Noun
tain lines. The thief is now being
sought.-Poplar Bluff Republican.
