The Union Light, Heat e. Power
Co. will not have to move its plant
from it's present location, according to
the decision handed down by Judge
Pollock at o'clock yesterday after
noon. He has had the matter under
advisement for a considerable time,
and every angle Of the hard fought
case which engaged the attention Of
the court for over a week is presented
In his decision.
The first complaint against the
Union Light Co. was not made at the
time that the plant was built, but at
the time that the proposition to erect
a new container was submitted to the
city council. The first application for
a restraining injunction was made on
the ground that the new, container
was dangerous because of the alleged
liability Of explosions.
After thorough investigation Of this
phase OF the matter, the application
for an injunction was denied. Later,
the case was brought before the city
commission on the ground that the
plant was a nuisance on account Of
the smoke and odor which it emitted.
1t was on this ground that the case
was brought into court for final set
tlement. The decision of Judge Pol
lock follows:
The opinion In full was as follows:

Shall $1S0,000 worth of property be

question, boiled down, which this
court is called upon to decide. This
lis not an action for damages, where a
jury or the court could measure the
injury for proven wrongs; il it were,
the way would be clear. Rather, the
question is: Shall the gas plant
move on? Such move means prac-
ticaiiy a destruction Of the entire
plant, Involving not only financial
loss to the defendant company, but as
well to the citizens of Fargo as a
whole.

COST IS
LOWER

Chicago, H., Dec. 13.-The labor
cost Of conducting transportation
over the Burlington railroad was
less in 1912 than in 1902, although
the other costs increased, accord
ing to the testimony given by J. ".
Ryan, statistieian of the interstate
commerce commission. before the
federal board of arbitration. con-
siderins the differences between
the railroad and it's trainmen.
"The operating ratio," Ryan's
report read, "between the operat-
ing costs and revenue advanced
from 63.37 per cent in 1902 TO
6e.93 per cent in 1912, or 6.56
points. Of this increase, only .e7
of per cent came from increased
payments to conductors and train
men. The total expense of adj
nninistration was greater in 1912
! than in 1902, but the labor COST
was lower"

Ojinaga, Dec. 1S.-Perched On the
sweeping view of the nearby desert
and canyons, the federal army trained
its guns in expectation of an attack
by 1000 or 5000 rebels who are rapid
ly surrounding the town. ~
The commanding position of the
federals, with the trenches and forts
fixed for resistance, make 1t impossi-
BILE for the rebels to storm the place
without heavy loss of life. The rebels
will have to climb almost straight up
to the town, constantly exposed to fire
except for the slight shelter of mes

The 1000 federals are resigned to
the expected attack. The rebels
threaten to drive the federals across

HELPS AND HINTS FROM FRANK

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I am sending little things some SiS- tsrs might find useful.
 If there is a bare spot on your lawn where the grass will not grow, SOW flax seed on it.
 Small seeds sown out of doors will germinate sooner if covered with a coarse, gunny sack.
 To utilize an old flour sitter, boil eggs in it simply setting the sitter in a kettle of boiling water.
 Boil new earthenware dishes before using them and they will lose 8 good deal of their brightness.
 If the pantry shelves have no doors put a window shade on roller in front of them and pull down the shade when not in use; 1t will make a real protection against dust.
 A single mint plant set under a hydrant where it gets plenty of mois- ture will give great satisfaction SUD- plying garnishes for the table.
 It small child doesn't like water, try flavoring it with orange to give it a pleasant taste.
 Corks may be kept in bottles when travelling by sticking them in with adhesive plaster, such as surgeons use.
 When cooking tomatoes to strain and use for tomato jelly, the flavor will be improved by a bay leaf and a piece of mace added.
 Calla Lilly: As I've had some ex- perience with new feathers I can tell you it's not heat, its the moths that are sure the trouble with your pillows. The camphor is good and the moth ball, too. If they are not eaten bad, and in daily use, it may be stopped if not, for sure, empty them in pill low slips, fasten ends. put in the wash boiler with soap suds and boil and rinse; pin to clothes line to dry. or lay upon something; shake. turn and whip them often, in this way they turn all right, if your ticks are not soiled, turn them, brush off and put on line.
 Charlotte: I have never prepared a dish of the smoked ha1fbut; but after soaking over night, or till fresh ened. other kinds of salt fish, I take them in a cheese cloth. or an old napkin, and boil and make dressing of rich milk or cream with cups of butter and pepper and dust of salt; put on stove and stir till boils- very nice. I wash the cloths and save them for the same use. l dare say other Sisters will provide you with some fine recipes.
 Rose of New England. The Social Corner wedding was a success. and the little fairies and pages made picture fit for frame. I was pleased to be of some use there, thank you.
 Aunt Mehitable: The pretty view card received. Thank you.
 As I've often made visits in the cir cle I think of FIorilla, Cehndas Hat tie Marie, Fay Verna and M. Roenay Dina, Blanche and others as members all in good standing. Show your color it's yellow, and fill space for while.

instructions with samples. VIII re- port when 1 get time to try it. Many thanks. I fear have made a mistake in your identity, as I have found out since; but nevertheless I would like to see you and your dahlias. Hubby must have been quite small when at tending school with you, as he can't seem to remember you. Was it in the town of Bozrah or Exeter?
 Grace: I am so sorry your misfor tune should have kept you at home from the picnic. Yes, I have gotten over my tramp in the wilds with you and Biddy; and have taken the same tramp several times since. Once with Pop Over and once with Polly Win tergreen.
 Ready: Yes I received your letter and ann going to answer it soon. hope. have been quite busy with company. I haven't made any tatttn this sum- mer. Am glad you are proSpering with it. How is the bag coming on?
 Pink Rose: Where were you, that you didn't appear at the picnic. looked the woods over at the Lake. but wasn't able to find Hepatica If she had been at the picnic l should have found her.
 Enid: I was surprised to see that you were still in Cuba. I had looked a good many times for your card tell ing that you had arrived home. Are you going to stay there this summer :? Your new name is all right.

OVER THE HILLS.

Over the hills and far away, A little boy steals from his morning And under the blossoming apple tree He lies and dreams of the things to be; Of battles fought and of victories
 won, Of wrongs o'erthrown and of great
 deeds done Of velor that he shall prove some
 day, Over the hills and far away
 Over the hills and far away Over the hills and far away, It's O for the toll the livelong day But it mattered not to the soul af1ame With love for riches and power and
 famel On. O mani while the sun is high On to the wonder joys that lie Wonder where blazeth the moon of
 dayI Over the hills and far away
 Over the hills and far away Over the hills and far away, An old man fingers at close of day; Now that his journey is almost done, His battles fought and his victories
 won The old-tine honesty and truth. The trustfulness and the friends of
 youth Home and mother-where are they? Over the hills and far away
 Over the hills and far away

A SICK RosEBUsH.

Edltor Social Corner The sister who mas a damask rose which does not mature its buds has a sick rose on hef hands and it is not easy to say what causes the buds to blight since any Of several causes may produce the erect Too much liquid stimuIant. or plant lice or disease at the roots might make 1t fail to bloom. Before special care can be given such rose it's case must be studied
 To do their best roses should be treated according to their needs. In the hfst place rose to do well shOuId be as firm in the soil as a, fence post pound down the soil. It should be reg uIariy mulched with COW manure or sustained by regularly stirring into the soll each season an ounce or two or the flour of bone. If plant lice or any insect pest causes the trouble the bush should be drenched often WICn soap suds; this is offensive to all Kinds of rose bush pests. If there Is a worm at the roots drench the earth with strong lime water and driVe him out. or give it an appllca- tIon or two of tar water
 . mere IS nothing strange in the fact LhaI one or many rose bushes goes pad. The trouble is that something unnatural Is happening to it and that something must be stopped or the push will be ruined.
 IF the sister will study her rosa b9,c7, come to a conclusion as to the DOS slole cause of the blighted buds. then proceed in her own way to remove fha. cause by any one of these forrnu}ae she may save 1t and see it doing well again.

 How our Editors ears must have burned that day. Three cheers for The Bulletin, for its interest in our pleas ure.
 Three cheers for Biddy for the splen- did place she secured for us and her untiring efforts in our behalf.
 Remarks were heard on every side: What a good time Eve had, T would not have missed it for anything, and one was heard to say: If you attend one Social Corner gathering you will want to attend them all"
 Aunt MehitaIble What could possi- ply have kept you away? l hope 1t wasn't broken bones, as I heard that kept one sister at home.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: As have a few spare moments will try and improve them by writing few lines for our beloved corner.
 I would like to have gone to the picnic last Thursday at Coventry, but was so far away I could not go. But hope we hay have another for those who live in around Norwich so we can meet some of our Sisters and Editor. Lincoln park, or Poquetanuck Draw bridge are both suitable places for a picnic, and are on the Norwich and Westerly Trolley line

 Hannah Who, Willimantfc: I am going to try your Preserved Pineap- pie and~will let you know how I suc- -1sd with it.

 Well, I will bid you all farewell for today, hoping to meet you at our next picnic if we conclude to have one.

fion5. Absolute necessities all must have; Rixurfes can be added any time.
 The rage now in all classes is for soft dainty materials hand made. and an entire absence of supeTffuous trim ming. Six slips of white Lonsdales cambr3c- prove valuable for the first dresses: then after they may be used for night wear. These should not be too long. as they are very much in the way when handling the child. Six flannel skirts are necessity, three of shaker flannel, and three of all wool flannel of the widest width. The diff ference in the price of the flannel is generally for the difference in the width more often than for quality; then, too, cheap flannel shrinks and is most expensive in the end. Good flannel will last two babies, at least Flannel shirts should be a yard long from the band. then as the child grows and the clothes muSt be shortened. there will be enough of the hanirei to make two short skirts. You will need but two cotton skirts as they are only worn on dreSSy OccasioSS. Three little bands, either hand, knit ribbing like the top of a stocking, or of soft f1annel-old flannel if one wishes.
 Of wrappers it is best to have tvs or three. These can be of flannel or percale, owing to the time of year. These are anice, to put on baby the first thing in the morning till a person has time to dress 1t.
 Napkins should be abundant, at least, five or six dozen will not be to many. The cotton variety is the best material to use, and should be cut the length of a double square of the width of the material
 A good supply of three sized safety pins, also, are needed which may be put in a little cushion made for the occasion, Q bottle of olive oil, a little soft brush, for the tiny head, several soft towels, also 8 box of good talcum powder; a nice little soap dish con- taining a square of pure castillo soap: some little bootees for the tiny feet. if some are wanted, flor going out. One very nice dress for calling oc- casions.''
 Now baby can't go out without . coat and bonnet, of this I shan't try to say, because mamas' differ so in their selections; and last but not least, baby must have a nice little go-cart.
 Hark! did l hear the editor saying you have written enough for this time?
