give details as to how the man liked
it, whether he Quivered with fright or
perspired with terror.
Harry Clever, superintendent of To-
connective operation on the Rock Is
land road, who followed Mr.. Hewitt
on the stand, gave great deal OF
technical testimony regarding engine
equipment. He also testified as to
wages. A significant feature was the
fact, elected during cross-examina-
ton, that colored hostlers are used on
engines out Of Little Rock, Ark, and
are paid 1871 cents an hour. The
witness admitted these c0l0red host
lers had not read the book of rules,
but nevertheless were efficient. He
admitted also they run engines for
three miles on main track. He stat
ed further that at the roundhouse at
Forty-seventh street, Chicago, white
men are employed as hOstlerS and
get one cent more an hour than the
Southern colored hostlers. The bro
therhoods declare this rate Of COM
pensation is entirely too low.
A. M. Wiltse, chairman Of the fuel
economy committee Of the Burlington
road, testified that fireman frequent
ly throws five scoopfuls of coal into
a locomotive furnace a minute, or
about 300 shovelfuls an hour. This
virtually was an Impeachment of the
testimony given a week ago by w. J.
Tollerton, mechanical superintendent
Of the Rock Island Company. Accord
ing to Mr.. Tollerton, fireman swings
his shovel once in ten minutes, or
possibly once in eight minutes, but
Mr.. Wiltse said the locomotive stoker
moves the shovelful Of coal five times
in one minute. Grand Chief Stone
discovered this discrepancy and Mr..
Wiltse hurriedly asserted that pos
sibly Mr.. Tollerton had corrected him.

A furry was created at one time

HEARING BEFORE
HOUSE COMMITTEE

John Lind and Others Appeared for
County Option and James A.
Wharton, ct al, Opposed It.
The hearing on the county option
bill before the House Temperance
Committee was conducted in the same
way as the Senate hearing, each side
getting an hour to present their argyll
ments. But unlike the former hear
ing, the county optionists scored heav-
lily on the opposition, and the vets of
the committee who had insisted on
having the hearing, evidently got
more than they bargained for.
The county optionists materially
strengthened their cause by the argu-
ments before the House committee.
Rev. G. B. Stafford of the Anti-Saloon
League quoted statistics to show the
prosperity of Kansas under statewide
prohibition. Rev. w. E. J..Gratz of
st. Paul presented resolution in fav-
or of the pending bill from the Min
| isterial Association of st. Paul. Rev.
A. H. Hanstrom of St. Paul told that
he was born in prohibition Maine, the
oldest dry state in the Union. He also
pointed to the action of the Montana
legislature where the Senate passed
a constitutional prohibition amend
ment to be voted on in 1916, but the
House rejected the amendment pro-
position and instead passed statute.
He urged the Minnesota legislature
to put this state in line with the six
teen states that have already adopted
the statewide dry policy. G. Grims-
rud of Minneapolis, tried to prove by
the election figures Of last fall that
county option had been endorsed. II
predict that if county option does not
pass, prohibition is bound to come"
said Mr.. Grimsrud in a tone that
sounded like threat. F. M. Powers
of Minneapolis, who was candidate
for congress on the Progressive tick
ct last fall, also spoke for the bill. He
also predicted state and nationwide
prohibition.
James A. Wharton, formerly OF
Willmar) attorney for a Duluth liquor
organization which goes under the in.
nocent name of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, used a
half hour against the bill, delivering
the same speech that he used in the
Senate hearing.
The drys then sprung the surprise
of the evening when Hon. John Lind
ex-governor of Minnesota, was called
on to speak for the bill, which he did
in no uncertain terms. No one could
deny, he said, that the liquor traffic
was the cause of great deal of the
poverty, disease, insanity and crime
that the taxpayers of a county had t,
pay for. He therefore thot it was
eminently fair that those taxpayer:
should have a right to vote the cause
out of their midst.

To the Amateur PHOTOGRAPHER

We have for the last three years closely
observed the efforts of great number of am
ateur photographers, and find that surpris
ing few ever obtain results of pictorial value
or pictures of actual merit, pictures that con-
vey their own story. This is not due to lack
of artistic talent, or sentimental inclination,
but simply because the desire for such pic
lures has not been awakened. In order to
center the interests of the amateur photogra-
pher to the production of results of actual
merit, we will on the first of March open a
monthly picture contest. All films that are
delivered to us for developing and printing
enter the contest; so that all that is necessary
to enter the contest is to bring or send your
films to us for developing and printing. The
contests are monthly. About the middle of
every month we will make an announcement
in this paper stating who the winners were,
and also description of the winning. picture
and its superior features At about the same
time we will also display an eight by ten en-
fragment of the same in our show window,
also the winners name In this contest there
will be given three prizes: First prize, one
dollar; second PRICE, seventy-fve CENTS third
prize, fifty cents. A neatly printed ribbon
suitable for mounting in albums will also be
given with each prize.
The continuation of these contests will
undoubtedly elevate the interest of the aver
age amateur above the general inclination of
just taking pictures "for the fun of it.
