amount of snow the rural car
riers are having very hard
time to serve the patrons of
their routes. It is the wish of

best service possible, and this
can only be done by the pa
irons helping to keep the roads
open, etc.
Sec. 872, p. T.. R.-Patrons
.sfall keep clear the approaches
to their boxes by prompt re-
moval of snowdrifts or other
distractions by which the
delivery of mail into them
would be rendered impossible
or difficult without the carrier
leaving his conveyance.
Sec. 756-In all cases of i'm
passable roads, bad condition
of roads, the postmaster shall
notify the patrons affected and
request that the necessary re.
pairs be made. If the repairs
ARE not made within a reason

report the facts to the Fourth

thousand Cars Of Coal Delayed.

Devils Lake, Jan.28.-It is
estimated by coal men here
that close to a thousand cars of
coal consigned to points in
northern North Dakota, were
tied up at points between here
and Duluth during the recent
storm. AS a result of the vio-
lent cold spell previous to the
storm, orders for coal flooded
the docks, the greatest busi-
ness in years being transacted.
A large part of this was in tram
sit when the storm broke up.

Minot's Fire Furnishes Problem.

Minot, Jan. pa new infor-
nation has been filed against
Arnold Hileman, the young
man who saturated drunken
man with wood alcohol and then
set him on fire in a spirit of
smartaleckness, which resulted
in the disastrous fire that de-
stroyed the Roell- Balkey block
a few days ago and left score
of people destitute because
every thing they had, includ-
ing their clothing. was destroy
ed. The new information is
filed under a section of the
criminal statute which provid-
es punishment for the destruct-
ion of the property of another.
He was bound over to the dist
rict court on the latter charge.
It is a regretable fact that
the lawmakers never contem-
plated a crime committed under
such silly conditions and in
spired by such silly impulses
as that which produced the
fire in this city. 1t will be
difficult for the officers to prove
malice in the arson charge
which has been lodged against
Hileman. which would be
necessary to secure a conviction
under that charge. And in
order to make punishment as
certain as possible, they are
taking double grip on the
matter. If the arson charge
could get past the technicality,
a jury would certainty render
justice and common sense and
find him guilty.

Tense Organizations.

Harrisburg, Pa.-President Wilson
has announced the appointment OF
members Of the advisory commission
to be associated with the council of
national defense created by Congress
at the last session. At the same time
he gave out a statement saying he
hoped the council will become a raj

for the national defense"
The seven members Of the new ad-

The presidents statement follows:
"The council Of national defense has
been created because the congress has
realized the country is best prepared
for war when thoroughly prepared for
peace. From an economic point Of
view, there is q very little difference
between the machinery required for
commercial efficiency and that re-
quired for military purposes. In both
cases the whole industrial mechanism
must be organized in the most effec.
tive way. Upon this conception of the
national welfare the council is organ
lied. In the words OF the act. for the
creation of relations which will render

Boston, Mass.-The submarine arm
Of the imperial German navy ravaged
shipping off the eastern coast OF the
United States Sunday. Four British,
one Dutch and one Norwegian steam
ers were sent to the bottom or left
crippled derelicts off Nantucket
Shoals.
A submarine held up the American
steamer Kansas, bound from New
York for Genoa with steel for the Ital-
ian government, but later, on estab-
fishing her identity, allowed her to
proceed. The Kansas came into Bos-
ton harbor for her usual call here.
The hostile submarine is believed to
be the U-53. which paid a call to New
port and disappeared at sunset. Some
naval men, however. declared that at
least two submarines are operating
close 10 the American shore, though
outside the three.mile limit.

The People Pay.

The people Of the United States are
paying wal prices for q great many ar
tlcles Of everyday 8 because those
articles are not produced at home. In
other words, they are having u prac-
tical demonstration at so much per Of
the democratic free trade idea. The
idea is that we ought to buy where we
can buy cheapest. 1t may have worked
In the old days. but IL doesn't work
now, because all the cheap sources of
supply are closed. II the old Repub-
Hcan idea of protecting industry In our
own country had been followed con-
sistently for the last ten or fifteen
years we should have had factories
busy in the production of all these
things, and u people would be able
to purchase them at reasonable prices.
Right now the mistake Of abandoning
the theory of protection is costing the
people of this country more than IL
costs any European nation to do its
part in the war.-Yakima Republic.
