Passing Of Old Year and Ad

Noiseless Observance.

FAMILIAR SOUNDS MISSING

Breaking the record for noiseless
observance, Rock Island spent the
parting year and welcomed the com
ing guest at midnight without so much
as a ripple Of excitement much less
discomfort. The transition was with
out doubt the quietest in local history.
The safe pedal seemed to be gener-
ally applied. For some reason. un-
doubtedly satisfactory to himself,
Commissioner Jonas Bear neglected
either to toot the waterworks whistle
himself or to have 1t footed, SO that
the familiar sound that has sent forth
the joyful tidings of the dawn of a
new year since time was almost, was
missing. Other whistles shrieked the
glad message, however, but only for
an instant, and then froze up.
UNREAsoNABLY QUIET.
Down town 1t was unusually quite
The cafe of the New Harper was
crowded, but 1t was an orderly assem-.
blage that spent its feelings in sing
ing "Auld Lang Syne," lead by Jabe's
orchestra and the Free Settlers quar-
tet, as the lights were turned low
while the curtain fell on 1911 and rose
again on 1912. There were the Gus
tomary seasons greetings of good
luck and good health and happiness
and that was about all there was &c
it, so far as the public demonstration
was concerned.
HOUSE GATHERINGS.
Numerous social gatherings. house
parties and watch parties attended
the coming of the new year and toda,
the city is paying its customary re
spects to general holiday.

The Union sigma, the national or

terestiIg account Of the trip of the
White Ribon Special carrying dele

Of the "triumphal progress of the w.

Passengers OH the second section
Of the White Ribbon Special arose
early Monday morning to welcome
honored guests, Judge Charles Pol
lock. Mrs. Pollock and two daughters
joining them at Fargo. Although the
noted jurist and champion of prohibi.
ton could accompany the party only
as far as jamestown, during the time
of his stay he gave most generously OF
his talents as speaker. To as large
a company of the delegates as the
observation car could accommodate,
he spoke eloquently of the triumphs of
prohibition in North Dakota.
Before the arrival of Judge Pollock
one OF the first intimations received
by the delegates that they had enter.
ed the great wheat state was he cnt.
rance of a number of bright.faced
young women who distributed through
the two trains souvenirs in the form

cards, bearing the words, welcome

Prosperity, Professionalism Fargo

Mrs. Anderson Joins Delegates.
In the geography OF the w. G. T,

out with special prominence because
of association with our leaders. One
of them is Valley City, the home OF

RAILWAY BUSINESS FOR MAY

For the month of May the net op-
Grating revenue Of the railways de-
cline 5.5 per cent per mile of line
as compared with May, 1911, and that
for May, 1911, was d.s per cent less
than for May, 1910. This is the sail
ent fact of the monthly summary of
the bureau of railway economies, COM
piled from the reports of the rail
ways to the interstate commerce com
mission, and embracing 80 per cent
of the steam railway mileage of the
country.
The total operating revenues were
1926, 6,109,262, ans increase of 81 per
mile of line over May, 1911. The OPP
Grating expenses were s16l ,36s,677,
an increase of s24.29 per mile of line,
while the net operating revenue was
$64, ,740,5S5, a decrease of S17.23 per
mile of line. Taxes, amounted for the
month to $9,s97 ,301, or S45 per mile,
an increase of 90 per cent.
The decrease in net operating rev.
enue was most severe for the east
ern group of railways, amounting to
11.9 per cent. For the southern group
it increased a of one per cent, and
for the western group less than one
tenth of one per cent. The aggregate
of the net operating revenue for the
eleven months of the fiscal year, and
also for the five months of the cal
endar year, when measured per mile
of line, shows decrease in compari-
son with the corresponding periods OF
the previous year.

persuaded to enter the race but he
says his ambition is along CONNER
cial lines instead of political and is
willing to let the other fellows scrap
it out. In his place the writer was
informed yesterday that John w. Tur-
ner's name would be presented to the
convention for sufficient endorsement
to have his name placed on the pri-
mary ticket. II this is the case 1t will
be the work of friends as Mr.. Turner
is in Denver and will not he in the
city to look after the matter.
The Republican state assembly con-
vened in Denver today and much in.
terest is manifested in its delibera-
tions. The refusal of the Denver
county assembly to endorse Halsted
Ritter has given the impression that
Philip p. Stewart stands good show
of capturing the convention. There is
general feeling among the rank
and file of the party that with Stew
art heading the ticket backed up with
strong running mates the state can
be redeemed" Mr.. Stewart possess
es strong personality and would no
doubt make a strong run at the pri-
maries as well as at the polls in No
vember. Some Of the Republicans be-
lieve the members of the party should
be united on the state ticket. How
ever, no matter who secures endorse
ment for governor at the hands of
the assembly, there is no question Of
the endorsement of the Taft admin
stration and the selection of Taft
electors. 1t is only right that Taft
electors should be named by Repub-
lican convention.

berries in a close bag and express the
juice thoroughly. To every quart
of juice, after placing it in a porcelain
lined cooking vessel add close cloth
bag containing half an ounce of cin-
namon, alispice and ginger, also a
small quantity of cloves and mace.
Heat this slowly in the covered vessel

the sugar has thoroughly dissolved, in

WARDEN SAYS LIQUOR
is RESPONSIBLE
Contributed by Presbyterian Tenn
perance Committee.)

The state of Colorado maintains a
penitentiary at Canon City, one Of
the most modern and progressive in
stitutions of its kind in the United
States. Its methods are up to date
and humane.
In order to maintain the institution,
an average of sixty-seven employees
are required The average number of
convicts in actual attendance during
the fiscal year 1910 was 725. This
number does not include those on pa
role under the parole law of the state
who are looked after by a parole off
Ger.
The expense of maintenance of the
institution for the fiscal year 1910
was $131 ,025.90. For the biennial Pc
riod ending Nov. 80, 1910, the state
board of charities has recommended
the sum of s275,00O.
In view Of the coming vote on state
wide prohibition next November, it is
of interest to know where this great
throng OF T25 prisoners come from
and what is the cause of this expendi-
ture of S131,0 900 per year.
Thomas J. lyman, warden of the
penitentiary estimates that 80 per
cent of this business comes from the
drink traffic. He writes:
Canon City, Colo, July 2, 1912
Mn. William E. Johnson,
Presbyterian Temperance Commit
tee, Laurel, Md
Dear Sir:
Answering yours of June 9th will
state in answer to your first ques-
tion that have only had three and
one-haIf years experience as warden
Of this institution.
I'm answer to your second question
will state that in my Judgment nearly
80 per cent of the men in this insti-
tuition have come here either from the
use or abuse of Intoxicating liquors,
either by themselves or someone else.
Yours truly,
"THoS. J. lyman, Warden"
