depot was made Tuesday night. Work
OF filling in around the yards and ex-
tending the track has been delayed
on account of the severe weather.
While the new building is not as pre-

would like, it is a model little depot.
A transformer has been installed so

another station on the line last sum-
mer. The entire equipment is ideal
for comfort and good service.

of the union will be incorporated and
It's executive committee will take
charge of the business.
The Albion local of the union also
wants store. Recently public de-
bate was held at Albion on the ques-
tion of opening the store and the
business men of that town put up a
strong argument why the store should
not be opened.
AS yet the plans are very much in
the air but there seems to be strong
sentiment in the union favoring some
movement of the kind. In Moscow
the union conducts a store and one
of the leading men has been invited
to come to Colfax and address the
union at an early date The next
meeting of the Colfax local will be

Happening.

The Winans will has upset the the
DRY Of the cynics that romance is dead
in the world. Here is an innkeeper's
daughter who receives a fortune Of
$50O.O 900 just for being kind to an old
man. In all her dreams of the future
she never thought OF being able to
present to the Prince Charming that
would eventually come along such a
princely dover. She went about her
work delivering the milk and cream
from her fathers dairy, little think
ing that the old gentleman, who year
after year was her fathers guest,
was all along planning to make her a
rich heiress as a reward for her lit
tie kindnesses. The picture is idyllic.
Unfortunately. some Of the rightful
heirs of the deceased multimillionaire
fail to see the poetry OF 1t and have
already given notice of a contest.
There Is a son who has been cut on
with q paltry $1,000 900 and there are
two grandchildren who have been en-
tirely forgotten. In the case Of the
o the will Is particularly significant,
since the relative smallness Of the
amount can be traced to the fathers
disapproval of . marriage that was
wholly romantic. The cynics may still
claim that their contention Is support

Science Will Welcome the Discovery
SO Long Looked For
ward To.

At least three branches OF science,
1t is hoped, will derive important bene-
fits from the conquest Of the south pole
-meteorology, geography, and seismo-
graphy. More Immediately important
than any other result is to be,
it Is probable, the influence Of
Of the discovery or meteorology.
In no long time, as a conse-
quence of the weather maps based up
on the fuller knowledge of atmospher-
ic currents In the Antarctic, doubtless
brought by Scott and Amundsen, the
prediction of the weather will be made
a much more exact science. One of
the results hoped for is the forecast
ing of the conditions Of the mon
in India and averting thereby
a vast amount of damage to property
and loss OF life.
To work out the many observations
pertaining not only to meteorology
but to the other sciences and to report
on the collections In detail must, as q
writer In the London Times points out,
be the work Of years. It is already
possible, however. to conjecture from

lished here and abroad regarding
