"A deep shadow Of sorrow passed
over the community Of Burbank Sat
urday morning, Feb. 9th, when the
report came that Mrs. S. ]. Carlson

end came at 2 o'clock, with the mem
bers Of tie family gathered around

an invalid for number Of years.
She was confined to her bed only
about six weeks. Death was due to
a complication of diseases and came
as a relief. ..S.2.
Ellen (Eklund) Carlson was born
in Skatel0fs parish, Kronobergs Ian
Sweden; Dec. 30th, 1848. She came
to America in 1870 to Sycamore, Ill.
She was married to S. j. Carlson,
October 9th, 1871, and her husband
survives her. Seven children were
born in this union, four of which sur
vive her, namely: Mrs. Chris Pierson
of Balaton, Mimi; c. P. Carlson Of
Burbank; Anna c. and John E. Carl:
son at home, three having died in in
fancy. She is mourned by seven
grand children, and also brother,
Carl Eklund Of Sycamore, ILL.,, and a
sister, Miss Martha Eklund in Swed-
en-. The family moved from Syca-
more, Ill., to Balaton, Mimi, in April,
1887, and came to Burbank Nov. z,
1902. She was devoted member Of
the Swedish Mission church and was
a true Christian and lived so that
others were benefited by her exam
pie. She was mother to all, and
the young, as well as the old enjoyed
her company, for all felt her kind
and loving ways and she only waited
Gods appointed time to take her
home, and could say with the Apostle
Paul, "For me to live is Christ and
to die is gain" There is some com

to it's narrow house beneath. Soul
to it's place on high. They that have
seen thy look in death, no more may
fear to die"

The DISTANCE TARIFF ADvER-

On another page we publish an ad-
vertisement setting forth alleged
dangers to Minnesota towns and in
dustries in the passage OF the Cash
man tariff bill. The ad. came to Us
thru the agency which handles our
outside advertising and we did not
see fit to refuse the same because it
might serve as a text for an obser-
walton or two, and we have never yet
refused the other side Of a question
a hearing even if we were not paid
for the space. In this case the OPP
ponents Of the bill pay us for the
space. The daily papers have bris-
tied with similar ads for some time
back, and the fact that those now en-
joying special privileges in transport
tation rates deem it necessary to
reach into the country by means of
the country weeklies proves that
Senator Cashman's faithful advo-
cacy Of this bill is bearing fruit in
crystalizing sentiment which no leg
islator can afford to antagonize.
Little concern do the Twin City,
Duluth interests have for the towns
which they hold out as likely to be
Disseminated against by the Cash
man bill. These towns, as we'll as
all other small places in the state
are now being disseminated against
by rates granted the three large cit
les, at such manifestly unfair. rates
that any small inequalities between
these towns by reason Of the distance
tariff would be infnitesmal in COM
parison. The square deal and equal
rights to all will hurt no legitimate
industry nor should any town fear
their application. The railroad and
warehouse commission is given con-
siderable latitude in the establishing
Of rates within line of justice, but the
bill knocks the lead-pipe cinch of
preferential rates which the big cit
les now have over all other Mime
sofa towns higher than Gilroy's kite.
The Twin cities are not worrying ov-
er any injustice the bill may do other
towns as much as they are trying
to keep their strangle-hold on the
trade and industries Of the state.
Do not be deceived by the cries
which come from those whose spec
ial privileges the proposed law would
abolish! We notice Long Prairie is
on the list Of towns over which croc-
odile tears are being shed. Yet Long
Prairie has been taking the lead in
the fight against the railroad dis
elimination which the eastman bill

amounted to $l13. The man said
he had a wife and family living at

beg to get living for them. Justice
Collins had a draft for 500 made

to the man and he was ordered to

Army Transportation Arranged.

Although at the state and navy de-
partments the impression is conveyed
that the accounts of the fighting
coming from the city of Mexico are
wildly exaggerated, it became known
that as early as last Thursday the
government made overtures to the
Southern Pacific company for the
charter of two of the largest vessels
OF the Morgan line for the purpose Of
transporting troops from northern
ports to gulf ports.
At meeting of the Southern Pacific
directors in New York last Thursday
the proposition made by the govern
ment was discussed, aud while it was
not acted upon if the government
wishes two vessels on a moments
notice as was requested, the vessels
will be forthcoming.
The government has offered the
Southern Pacific $4,000 each for a
months charter of two of its largest
and most powerful vessels. The ves-
sells mentioned are the Comus and the
Antilles, either of which would be
capable of transporting about 2,200
troops on each trip and either vessel
is capable of making the trip from
New York to New Orleans in four days
and to other gulf points in little
longer time, providing these points
are nearer to the Mexican border.

PUT UNION JACK AT POLE
Captain Soott's Diary Tells of Sue
cessful Dash.

The disaster which has overtaken
Captain Robert F.. Scott and four of
his companions in the return journey
from the south pole came as an utter
surprise to London and cast a gloom
over the community which has been
uneQualled since the death of King
Edward. Confirmation OF earlier re-
ports was received in a message to
the Royal Geographical society.
Those to die with Scott were Dr. y.
A. Wilson, chief of the scientific staff;
Captain l.. b. c. Oats of the Inniskill-
ing dragons, Lieutenant II. r. Bowers
of the Royal Indian marine, the COM
missariat officer, and Petty officer E.
Evans of the British Royal navy.
Captain Scott's party reached the
exact point where Road Amundsen
planted the Norwegian flag at the
south pole. A Union Jack was set up
The first day at the pole, according
to the diaries, was cloudy with the
sun obscured. The next day was clear
and the sun was visible. Sights were
taken Captain Scott used a four
inch theodolite This was different
from the course OF Captain Amundsen
who used a sextant with an artificial
horizon, but the location of the pole
by the Norwegian and English eX'
plorers differed by only half mile,
and thus both of them were practically
at the same spot.
These facts we're recorded in the
documents found on the bodies OF the
dead eXplOrers.
