A Skating Rink,

In such cities as Virginia, Aurora,
st. Paul, Minneapolis and others in
Minnesota. the city street depart
ment keeps snow from large block
of ice so that good skating rink is
available all winter. Is there any
reason why Bemidji cannot have such
a rink especially when there are two
big lakes lying in front of the city?
: This city is located far enough
north so that there is good ice from
December to March. In the past the
snow has covered the ice early and
there has been about two weeks of
good skating. In other cities, espe-
cially st. Paul and Minneapolis, the
park boards keep Kinks on every lake
within the city limits and in many
cases: food school yards for Kinks
for the children. Bemidji lies close
enough to the lakes to do away with
the necessity for school yard Kinks.
Skating is one of the best known
, exercises. It brings into play many
muscles of the body, forces deep
breathing Of the pure Northern air.
and gives tingle to the body that is
: exhilirating. For children, it is one
OF the best body developers known.
The outdoor life is sure preventa-
tive Of the colds and chills that are
incident to winter and healthy chill
dren means more attending school
regularly.
In Minneapolis, the park board
keeps warming houses on Powder
horn, Harriet, Calhoun, Lake of the
isles and Cedar: Lakes in St. Paul
there are Kinks at Como. Phelan, on
the river and in Merriam Park and
many school yard Kinks. These are
kept clean by one man who drives
one horse scraper over the rink about
a. m. and again about p. m. It
takes about two hours day to keep
the snow cleaned off and to scrape
off the snow dug up by the skates.
Last winter Bemidji had a small
hockey rink between the city dock
and the boat house. The lake is
frozen now so that it is a sheet of
smoot ice and in first class condition
for skating. It is easy to skate now
but after the snow comes it will take
some effort to keep place clean. Is
there any valid reason why a good
sized rink cannot be made along the
lake shore north from Warfeld's
boat house? Such an one would be
handy to both the Central and High
schools, for the residence and bust
ness sections, and would furnish a
clean healthful exercise for the older
people as we'll as the school children.

Commission Treats in Report
on Question Of Trim
ming Vessels.

WASHINGTON. d. G., Feb. "a
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has rendered a decision in the
complaint OF the New England Coal
and Coke Company against the Nor.
folk and Western Railroad Company
and other roads carrying West Wiz
gina coal to the seaboard The de-
eision is in favor of the railroad
companies in the main, but in the
case of the Virglnian railroad the
finding is against it. The complaint
Of the coal and coke company filed
on March "a, 1911, was that the
charge of the railroad companies for
dumping coal into vessels for ship
aent to New England and for trim
ming the coal in the vessels was too
high. A rate of 8 cents per ton
has been charged for trimming and
AS cents for dumping and trimming
It was alleged by the New England
Coal and Coke Company that its
vessels are self-trlmming, requiring
little labor to load the coal properly
and that a charge of one-half cent
a ton would be sufficient for the
work required in their type of yes
sells. In the report of the commits
sion there is an elaborate treaties on
the loading of vessels and the diff
ferent methods Of doing SO result
ing in the finding that three cents a
ton for trimming and 40 cents for
dumping and trimming is not unreal
sonable. The commission further
finds that the charge of As cents
made by the virginian Railway Com
pany for trimming alone is too high
and 1t is required to establish rate
not to exceed three cents a ton.
is ordered to be made by
the virginian Railway Company in
the sum of about $500 for the ex-
cessive charges in the past. The
as to the Norfolk and
Western Railway Company, the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company,
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company and the Western Maryland
Company is dismissed.

Survey.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 22r
If you were making reconnaissance
of large area of greatly diversified
country and were taking copious
notes of the various characteristics
observed as we'll as the many works
of man, your notes would consist to
a large extent of discussions of con-
stantly recurring types which might
well be expressed by symbols. The
printed or written sign language is
far older than the alphabet, and
there is in common use today in the
United States an official sign Ian
guage which so far as geographic
features are concerned is sufficient
to describe fully, without the use of
single word, the most unusual area
within the country or any of its out
lying possessions. This is the col
lection of symbols and authorizations
adopted by the United States Geo
graphic BoOrd, and published, with
their sinifcation, on a large sheet
by the United States Geological
Survey. by the use of these SYM
boIs everything of the nature mem
toned can be described by an ANA
teur map maker, or can be read on
any government map, and any one
who has the key to the symbols can
read the map and learn the charac-
ter of the area so far as the map
depicts it.
Thus rock in the ocean whose
exact position is doubtful is repre'
scented by simple sign the size OF

and dry 1t is represented by a SYM
boil slightly different from that
used for a regular lake, and If a
section Of country is covered with
pines or other oonifers the symbol
employed. to show these trees is
slightly diKernt from that used in
indicating an oak forest. Some
seventy symbols are used to portray
the various works and structures
erected by man. from suspension
bridges to mine shafts or wind
mills; about twenty symbols are
used to Indicate different classes
of land, ranging from sugar

TEl,E
And Vigorous iCorrespon
dence by a Mail Carrier
in the Olden Day.


Many years ago before what is
now West Virginia was crossed by
railroads, the mails were carried on
a score of more routes by the old
and well known stage firm of ]. A..
TrOtter and Brother, one member
being a devout Presbyterian, and
the other, in common parlanee, a
wicked sinner. Among their mail
contracts was one from somewhere
in the Greenbrier section to Clarks-
burg. crossing the Cheat mountain
country. A severe winter with
much snow and ice delayed the mails
to such an extent that the postmas-
ter at clarksburg reported Trotter
and Brother to the postofice depart
ment at Washington. The depart
ment wrote them a polite note, urg-
ing greater promptness, which was
unheeded by the contractors. Again
and again they were reported by the
Clarksburg postmaster, until the de-
partment wrote in positive terms 81
the mails were not delivered on time
their contract would be rescinded
This communication was received by
the pious brother, who feeling that
he could not do the matter full jus
tice, handed it to the wicked brother
to answer, with the remark, you,
Jim, can explain the cause of the de-
lay to the officials" Jim took thel
letter, read 1t. and wrote the follow
ing verbatim reply:
Postmaster General,
washington, D. &c.
-'sir-If the gable end of hell
should blow out and rain fire, smoke
and melted lava for forty days and
nights, 1t would not melt the snow
enough on cheat mountain so as to
get your id mail out on time.
yours truly,
81. "A. TRoTTER & BRO"
That settled 1t. The department
had nothing more to say; IN the
postmaster generals office the letter
was framed. hung up and preserved
as a relic of terse and vigorous Of
fetal correspondence.
