With Railroad Property
Mandan. n. d., Jan. 3.-The
continual thieving of the railroad
company's property by people in
the vicinity of Heusler and Fort
Clark is about to develop into u
tremendous sensation and engulf
several prominent people of that
section, ii is said.
Special agents Of the railway
have been brought into the field
and have secured the names of
over 100 people who have partici-
pated in the thefts. One case in
particular which was said to be-
uncovered, disclosed the fact that
man had stolen new ties from
the railroad company to floor his
barn. The agents found him,
when confronted with the evidence
he paid for the stolen property at
cost prices.
AS all the people in that sec
tion use Ignite coal, when some
1900 tons of the company's Red
Lodge coal was taken, it made the
matter little difficult until the
agents of the company tried out
the smoke test. Burning samples
of the Red Lodge coal along side
of samples of the Ignite and not
ing the difference in the color and
volume of the smoke led to the
detection of several people who
had helped themselves to fuel
rather than 70 to the nearby mines
and dig it out.
The pile drivers and shovels
have been denuded Of every NOV
ing part and the lumber for snow
fences and sections of snow fence
have been pilfered. Tools, ropes,
cables and even nuts from parts of
the machinery have been appro-
priated and carried away, the
agents state.
When the work of securing the
rest of the evidence is in there
will be, it is stated, Consideration
and much sorrow among the peo-
pie brought into the scandal and
courts because of their Delinquent
cies in the matter of helping
themselves to other peoples pro-
perty.
The situation had become 80
grave that the local detectives for
the company had been all spotted
by the tniscreants and whenever0ne
appeared on the ground everything
was quiet. Also there was some
sort of systm of wireless telegraphy
which advised the other people
that a spotter was on the ground
and nothing would happen while
the detective was in the country.
New men were imported from st.
Paul to look after the matter and
now that the goods are located
there is q chance for some of the
people to come through or get the
limit of the law in the cases.
Developments are now awaited
among the officials of the road
which will startle the whole
country north and west of here,
and which promise to put an end

 One view is a birds eye photoscape of the city. bay, ocean and exposition grounds. It is printed in beautifully clear coiors, and for it's size is most distinct. It shows in the best way the lay of land around the exposition site and the city that is it's home.
 The other is full detail map of the country surrounding San Diego. It extends far enough each way from the bay to give a clear idea of the topo graphy If the exposition city's vicip- ity.

For the success of this institute too much cannot be said in praise of those who had it in charge and who have worked increasingly to attain their ends Aside from the farmers themselves those who did the greater part of the work of management and promotion are w. $. Humbert. M P. Holladay, R. F. Garnett and MT. Ed son.
 It would be impossible, within the limits of a short article. to do jus tice to the splendid exhibits. There were pumpkins and squashes of mammoth size, shown by J. E. Price; potatoes by H. Burris and Hall brothers; sugar cane and beets by R Leak: and a. mammoth display of Watermeons. cantaloupes, and all sorts of other products from about every section of the valley. One of , the most striking exhibits was a beet weighing 27 pounds which was ex , hibited by MT. Leak. That he has others on his ranch that weigh fully 50 pounds was one of MT. Leaks statements in discussing vegetable growing in Arizona.

DAM PICTURES
 IN EXTREMES
AS to Size, Enlargement and Button Engraving, Are at Limits; Southern Pa cific Makes Valuab b l e Print for Trade Board

Side by side, the littlest and the big gest dam pictures can be seen at the board of trade. From photos of the same identical scene, the two pictures present jews of the water bank in sizes so far apart that it hardly seems the sama subject in both photos
 The pig one is that ordered some time ago from the publicity depart ment the Southern Pacific through the kindress of Chas. s. Fee. general passenger agent at San Francisco. It is printed on fine quality bromide pa per and is enlarged to 50 by 70 inches including narrow wooden frame The dam in this view seems less the toy or model it appears in the majority of prints, and as Harry WeIch says, is the first and only presenta ton to give any where near an adequate idea of the immense work
 So clear is the detail in spite of the enlargement, which often accents the blurs as we'll ass the lines of the pie ture. the details of masonry construc- tion are plainly revealed The spray from the two white curtains of falling water fairly sparkles.
 The little brother of the giant photo is on a Roosevelt button, and is less than hale an inch across. No more enlighteaing example of the photogra- pher's at can be found than in these two pictures, one an almost micro scopic engraving and the other the en- largemeEt many times over of the same view. The big scene will be kept in the board rooms as the only really worth willie picture of the dam, while the buttons are to be spread over the land. Many of them have already found thoir ways into far off cities. the Elks at Portland and the site se- lecting commission each having dis tributed q consignment of the em bemS.

Improvement society, who spoke on The Rural Social Center Mrs Guild said one of the most urgent needs of Phoenix is a rest room with branch of the library which, she said is almost entirely inaccessible to the country people. She spoke strongly in favor of a closer social life for the wives of the farmers.
 J. A. Higgins, county superintend- ent of schools, and A K. Stabler, SUI perintendent of the high school, dis cussed the relation of school work to agriculture. Each called attention to the fact that the vocational idea of education is getting more and more recognition all the time MT. Stabler explained in some detail the work contemplated in the new agricultural course that has been devised as a part of the high school curriculum. He also said in referring to the rest roQsn idea, that a room in one of, the new high school buildings can be used for that purpose.
 Mrs. P. l. Edson said one of the principal needs in this community is CO., o-operation by the wives and daughters of the farmers She dealt with several of the problems that confront the women who live in the country.
 The work of judging the exhibits began early in the forenoon. The judges were Prof. A M McOmie, of the state university; George $. Free man, of the experiment station, and IF w Wilson. The judges for the women's department were Mrs. Guild, Mrs. c. w. Houghton and Mrs. l.. D. Libby This exhibit will be preserved by the state fair commission for the coming fair,

 that can be equalled by any one who goes about his work intelligently. Now. 40 tons of the tubcrs even at the prices we used to get means $400 an acre and I believe anybody will agree with me that that is not doing so badly.
 But at two and a half cents pound q yield like that will produce s2000 an acre. Yet that isn't all. l saw a quotation. of 15 cents a pound for sweet potatoes in a local paper the other day. And if you succeeded in raising a crop such as l have mentioned and sold it at 15 cents d pound it would bring you $12,0O0 Why, that is enough to buy corner lot in Phoenix down here in the busi- ness section, or it would have done so a few years ago; and yet there are people who say there is no mon- ey in farming
 Mr Forney then devoted some time to a discussion of other crops which he had found especially profitable. Among those mentioned are pota- toes, strawberries and tomatoes.
 A N<N'Soii' president of the institute, was de- voted to an expression of thanks on the part of the speaker to all those who had helped to make the institute such a marked success. It wasn't quite all that kind of speech, however, for MT. Edson took occa- sion to speak rather cuttingly of the Melon Growers association. Some time ago." he said, i've promised that l today there would be plenty of melons here for everybody to eat We had every reason to believe the associa- tion would provide those melons but it hasn't done so. But if you want the reason you will have to go to the members of that association for don't know what it is. I know this, however. that there are watermelons rotting in the fields and yet it seems they couldn't supply a few for this occasion

little physical exercise will often cause sleeplessness A person who has tendency to insomnia for this reason should always try to get d good long brisk walk in the evening"
 But after all, the most common and fundamental cause for insomnia is fear-the dread that we are not going to sleep. If the idea occurse to you or forces itself upon you that you are going to lie awake, contradict the notion flatly. Assure yourself that of course you are going to sleep that sleep is natural and desirable and that you have right to it.
 When you get into bed relax phy- sically and mentally. Get into con- fortable position and lie still-dont toss and tumble about Keep the mind quiet-don't allow it to go off on some interesting or exciting train of thought; simply lie quiet and wait for sleep.

 Now calmly and deliberately make up your mind to wait for morning.

which need is responsible for a great deal of extra perspiring on the part of the shippers yesterday. Iron Springs for example was sent a big load of produce for the keen ones enjoying the heights ther now.
 Of course the producers company was there with it's exhibit at the far mer's far. and the most unique part of it all was the cake of ice with the sign frozen into the center. announce ing that in the 64 days of the com pany's activity it had shipped 103 car loads of market produce out of the valley.

HoW SHARK IS HARNESSED
'''eN oy which Sailor Pays Debt to
merciIess Member Of tho
Finny Tribe.

The sharks jaws are prIed oman ~
'ne iuilest extent; a stout eight.foot
spar OF tough timber, four inches by
iour IN cross-measurement, is fixed
.iahsVersely far back in the angle of
'ne Jaw, the ends projecting on either
sue strong rope leading from the
ends OF the spar is drawn close and
ughtened with a clove-hltch round
the hsh's tall behind the wide tail
nukes. 1t is thus the sailor harnesses
his enemy.
Inc clamp Of the cruel Jaws drives
The two-inch long teeth deep into the
tough spar The tight line holds IT in
place, and, struggle as he nav. the
shark fails to move the spar an inch
from Its position. AS finishing
touch, the sailor drew his knife blade
across the sharks eyeballs and let
him go.
Bitted and bridled, blinded. with
Jaws wide-gaping, he swan through a
lmltless sea in never-ending fatuous
circles. The queer furnishings he
bore scared away others of his kind
Lonely and silent he passed like Cain
among the fishes till starvation and
sheer misery ended his existence.
Cruel? OF course it was. But sure.
ly, like the venomous snake, the shark
has long put himself beyond the pale
or human mercy. Soft-hearted as he
usually is, the sailor-man has a long
memory. The shark has followed for
weeks in the shadow of his ship, and
has watched each man of the crew
with greedy malevolent eye. There
is a heavy debt against all the shark
tribe for many lost mariner, and,
when the chance comes to settle old
scores, the sailor pays 1t to the full.
Besides the thing has the sanction OF
1mmemorial custom. 1t was some old
Phoenician, trading out of Tyre to the
far Cassitorides, who, probably, first
put the trick in practice.-Wide World

A FINDER OF PEOPLE

Emergencies are constant
ly arising which make it nee
essary to communicate with
persons whose exact loca-
tions are not known. In
view Of this fact Bell opera
tors everywhere give the
most scrupulous care to To-
eating people and bringing
them together in emergencies
when probably no other
means Of communication
would be available.
Bell operators are trained
to follow any reasonable clue.
They have complete infor-
nation concerning residents
in every district, and can often
find parties wanted by street
addresses, occupation, busl-
ness or other indications in
the absence of names. Their
facilities for locating tran
sients are good. Messengers
are on duty at railway sta
tions, and are frequently able
to intercept travellers by des-
cription, and bring them to
a telephone.
Night service is particu-
larly thorough and sympa,,
thetic, for it is recognized
that calls then, when the
community is asleep, are
likely to be Of the utmost
urgency.
Toll charges IN emergency
messages are no higher than
ordinary rate, and in most
cases the results cannot be
weighed on a money basis.

WOMEN'S PARADE

sent 10 legislatures py the thOus-
and, there to be pigeon holed.
Such demonstration call for
newspaper reports and comments.
The following from the Chicago
American is good illustration:
Soon, in every civilized country,
every woman will have the right
to vote.
Men are realizing gradually that
it is shameful, disgraceful and cow
ardly to deny share in the max
ing of laws to the mothers who
have given humanity all of its
progress and moral growth.
Little by little, men in legisla-
lures and on the streets realize
that to declare women unfit for the
suffrage is an insult to every mans
mother and an insult to human in
telligence.
Women have been the advisers
of men and the teachers of child
ren from the beginning in the home,
They have borne all the heavy
burdens
They have supplied the popula-
ton that wars, famine and plague
killed off.
Devotion to the weak, and es-
pecially to young children, has
taken their time and strength, 30
that they have not asserted or at
tained their rights.
Woman has lived half slave
from the beginning the time
for that is past
Every woman will soon have the
vote, and the big woman suffrage
parade in New York proves wom-
ans determination to hurry on the
day.
Men and women alike should be
proud to have appeared in that
parade.
The men should have marched
gladly, because it was a parade of
protest against mental slavery and
long injustice. .,
And the women should be proud
rich women and poor women,
idle women and working women
because the parade emphasized the
fact that woman is thinking be-
ing, equal to man in intelligence
and politics, as she is superior to
him in morals, and determined to
have her share in the government
of the world.
State Engineer G. w. Comstock
declares that the State is in the
clutches of bridge building trust,
which makes joke of competitive
bidding and charges from % to so
per cent too much on every con-
tract for County or State work.
Mr.. Comstock intends to break up
the combination if he can possibly
do so. AS result of the combina-
ton, the price charged is exorbi-
tant, and the bridges frequently
are very poorly built We trust
there will be no more bridges car
ried away in Rio Grande county
either by floods, or carefully slowed
away in someone's pocket.
