The Ice Harvest of the
Railways

Does the passenger on any of the
vast systems Of American railways,
as he or she quietly goes to the
water cooler in the day coach or
Pullman and takes a comforting
draught of cold iceWater, stop to
reflect upon where the ice comes
from, the quantities required, the
methods of harvesting and the cost
of it all to the railways? Possibly
one in ten thousand or a hundred
thousand does. And how about it
when the long lines of yellow re-
frigeratOr cars are seen lining the
side tracks at terminal points? But
for these thousands of refrigerator
cars the fruits and vegetables of
Florida, Virginia, Mississippi, Lou
isiana, California, Oregon, Wash
ington, Montana, Minnesota and
numerous other states, that play so
important part in our daily gas
Economical life, would not be seen
on our tables at all seasons Of the
year. And what would we do with
out our grape fruit and oranges and
berries in winter from the south
land, the fresh fruits and crisp, de-
liciOus vegetables from our cooler
Northern cline during the heat of
summer?S
A brief statement Of the magni-
tude of the ice harvest conducted
by the Northern Pacific Railway,
simply for it's own needs and re-
quirements, will convey an idea of
the immensely of this railway ice
business over the entire country.
The main transcontinental line of
the Northern Pacific system, via
Seattle and Tacoma to Portland,
alone aggregates more than 1000
miles. Including the main lines,
Minneapolis-St. Paul to Duluth-Su-
periOr; Staples to Ashland; Brain
erd to international Falls; Manitoba
Junction to Winnipeg, and Seattle
to Sumas and Vancouver B. c., and
the various alternate and branch
lines, the total mileage of the entire
Northern Pacific system exceeds
$500 miles. The ice crop for the
years requirements is harvested,
largely by contract, at numerous
points along the entire system. The
principal harvesting points are
White Bear Lake (near st. PauD,
Spirit Lake (near Duluth), and De-
troit, in Minnesota; Mandan, North
Dakota; Homestake, Montana; Co.
colalla, Idaho; Thorp, Washington.
The quantities Of ice cut at these
points and packed away in the COM
pany's various ice houses range from
5000 to 10000 tons to from $4,000
to $4,000 tons each. The total ton
mage placed under cover by the
Northern Pacific in the winter sea-
son Of 1914-15 exceeded 100000 tons
at cost of $130,000 AS this ex-
penditure was almost entirely for
labor, it will be seen at a glance
that this industry means the en-
ployment of a large number-thou-
sands-of laborers and the distribu-
ton of by far the greater part of
the money disbursed, among them
Few persons have any idea of the
tremendous growth Of the refrig-
orator car service Of the railway

Westerners, accustomed to intimate

There is, in these pictures, con-

Of the vanishing red man. Roland

May Shock Some Legislators.
There are some things besides po-
tentialities for Northern Minnesota
to show. There are actualities which
! are going to shock some visiting leg
islators from the southern and west
| ern sections of the state.
It seems little astonishing, but it
is none the less true, that Southern
Minnesota has some weird ideas
about the great north section of Min
| nesita. These ideas exist only in
| the minds of those who never have
been north.
Their conception is, in many in
stances, that the ci ties and villages Of
the north are mere border camps,
rough, uncouth, dangerous places for
the peace loving person to seek ex-
istence. Their mental vision Of
Northern Minnesota is akin, perhaps,
to the idea of the native of Manhattan
Island has of the west-bears,
wolves, Indians, cowboys, shooting
irons" and bad whiskey. -
On the contrary the people of the
north are to show the legislature
this week and next an empire devel-
oped and undeveloped richer than
| the more settled, better known south
| ern portion of the state. It may be
| surprising in itself to suggest that
| the natural riches of the northern
section are greater than those of the
southern let the legislature
check up
! The tour is to no particular point,
no particular section of Northern
Minnesota. Literally it is to take
in all Northern Minnesota, the iron
range country, the cut over country,
tbs muskeg marshes, the splendid
fertile prairies Of the northwestern
section.

that the Negro newspapers would have
q far better and larger circulation If
the readers could depend on these pa
pers for the doings at a distance at
short notice: that invariably Negro pa
pers under the present system have no
particular systematic rule Of giving
and forwarding this news. The tele'
graph company when approached on
this subject expressed its willingness
to give the Negro papers the same
service if our papers become patrons.
Since we have taken this step thou
sands of messages have been flashed
over the wires to our members.
With the use Of the telegraphic col
lect card and the membership card the
correspondent may present his two
cards at any office and have the news
paper pay for the message at its home
ofice. 1t can be seen that through
this system the Negro newspapers may
have their correspondents on the road
gathering news, and that news can be
sent to hundreds Of newspapers with
out any cost to himself and each news
paper pay for the message at its
VNH uoluc IL tho SdA UC tAoA-
oughly understood the Negro newspa-
pers of this country will have taken
long needed step.
As to the use of the membership
metal badge, Mr.. Boyd satd that this
step was not and Is not understood. by
the newspaper fraternity and CORE
spondents themselves. The object Of
this metal badge and its use are one Of
the greatest steps that have yet been
undertaken for the real benefit Of our
people who might be so unfortunate as
to fall into the clutches of the law. By
the use Of this metal badge being un-
derstood and recognized by state, coun-
ty and city officials a member Of the
press association would be admitted
to most any place where anything Of
Importance happens and could thus
give to the race the facts instead Of
depending solely upon the stories as
given in the daily papers. which are
quite often misleading.

Chicago.-The Lincoln jubilee and
half century celebration, designed to
show the progress of the coaored race
In America during the past fifty years,
was formally opened in this city on
Monday. Aug. "a. This is perhaps the
last and doubtless the greatest Of any
similar exposition held in commemora
tion of the first half hundred years
since the civil war.
One of the very first objects to at
tract the attention Of the visitors on
the opening day, was a hand printing
press such as was used fifty years ago.
This little relic was surrounded by a
cluster of automobiles Of the 1915
model. which formed a striking con-
trast in mechanical construction. The
printing press was the historic one on
which Owen P. LOvejoy printed his
abolition newspaper at Alton, ILL.,, his
ssward being death at the hands of a
mob. The press was thrown into
river. The motorcars on exhibition
are for the inspection OF well to do COL

In the center Of the Coliseum, where
the exposition is being held. is life

rests IN a miniature temple.

Lincoln. is the keynote Of the exposi-
ion. which is made up of exhibits
which are claimed by Bishop Fallows
and his fellow Illinois commissioners

the achievements OF the race which
has ever been assembled at any one
time or place.
The exposition is being largely at
tended each day and night. 1t will not
lose until Thursday, Sept. 16. which
will be designated as Illinois day. The
Celebration is so full of interest to
white and colored people that it has al
ready developed that 1t will be barely
