The first part of the plan was put
into effect last year. after the Frisco
adopted the plan Of transferring to
the operating department the function
of making settlements of claims. On
August the agents at all stations
were authorized to pay from station
funds claims for visible loss and dam

less than carload freight, with GER

he is a man who has been with
God"

Mrs.S Margaret Graham, widow u
Samuel. Ardies. tdled Oh Monday morning,
Oct. 18th, aged So years, II months and
3 days.
The Ardies family came to this county
in 1880 and settled on = farm near Ice
land coulie, where they lived until about
eleven years ago, when they sold out and
moved to this city. Mr.. Ardies died
about two years after. William Ardies
the eldest son died a few months ago
There remain of the family, Cunningham
Ardies Of International Falls, Samuel
Ardies of Cavalier, Mrs. George Hensel
and Mrs. F. q. Myrick, jr. Of this city.
The comparative isolation incident to
ordinary farm life is one of its drawbacks
but in the pioneer days neighbors were
few and far between, and coming from
different localities were strangers to each
other. Mrs. Ardies was type Of those
pioneer women who left homes and
friends in the east to become true and
loving helpmates to their husbands in
making ''the wilderness blossom as the
rose." In this, therefore, the results Of
their unselfish labors and hardships are
visible on every hand and no greater
monument hath anyone.
A loving mother has passed away.
The bond of the once united family is
broken. Wesympathise deeply with the
survivors.
The funeral was held on Tuesday
afternoon from the Presbyterian church
and the body laid to rest beside the hus.
