MAUGG-McFADDEN.

A. j. Maugg, proprietor OF the Mod
ern Undertaking parlors at this place,
drove over to Cottonwood Tuesday
where, it is said he was united in mar
riage to Miss Estella I. McFadden,
sister to Mrs. DR. Shinnick. of that
place. The ceremony took place at the
monastery north of town. The Globe
has none of the particulars regarding
the ceremony otherwise than that the
marriage took place early Wednesday
morning with full sanction of the Cath
Ollie church. The young couple will re-
turn to Grangeville to reside. Mr..
Maugg. who recently came to this
city and opened up in the undertaking
business, has won place for himself
in both the social and business life
of the community and will no doubt be-
come a permanent fixture in our city.
The Globe offers its congratulations to
the newly weds, and extends cordial
welcome on its own behalf and that
of the community to Mrs. Maugg.

MAIL TRAIN EXPECTED IN
TONIGHT.

The railroad company brought a
rotary plow up onto the prairie the
first of the week from the main line to
see IL relief could not be brought to
the blockaded communities along Its
line, which have been cut off from the
outside world for the past week or
more. The two ordinary snow plows

alton, doing little more than pack the
snow well along the sides of the cut,
and when the chinook came and soft
ened the snow and the cold nights
froze 1t up. 1t soon became a regular
glare of ice, which even the rotary
found great difficulty In removing. The
way was opened so that the passenger
train, which was at this end of the
run when the cuts became impassable,
went down the line to Lewiston. The
train is expected back tonight, with a
weeks accumulation of paper mail and
parcel post matter, but as there is a
rumor of slide somewhere along the
route there is no telling whether they
will make the rifle or not.

ness.

Few of the people, and not all OF
the stockmen themselves, fully realize
the great amount of stock that annu-
ally goes out from the railroad points
on the prairie to the markets of the
world When the statement Is made
that a round million dollars worth Of
cattle, hogs and sheep have gone out
from the two stations, Grangeville and
Fem, within the PAST twelve months,
no doubt many will at once question
the truthfulness of the figures. The
Globe has taken the trouble to delve
into this matter within the past few
days, its attention having been first
directed to the matter by Il. $. Sweet,
one of our leading shippers.
We have gathered from the check
stubs of the shippers named, Il. S.
Sweet for the past eleven months, John
Rothlisberg for eight and IA half
months, the McGhie Trading company
for less than one year, Callan Il Ham
mill since last November, that the to-
tai amount paid for stock by these
four firms within the dates named
foots up to $640,000 in round numbers.
The Messrs. Sweet and Rothlisberg
shipments aggregate considerably over
$500. 900, and this all in less than one
years time. In addition there are
the shipments of G. w. Brockman, and
scores Of shipments by private owners
which we have been unable to secure
in exact figures at this time. The
Montgomery band of cattle and the 70O

(By Joe Il. Wade. !

Altho the year 1916 was the banner

only a marker to the activity i'll l9lf
as indicated by the reports from the
various mining camps This Is espe-
cially true of the Elk City, Orogrande,
Dixie and Ten Mile mining districts
in which / have spent the past seven
months and have inspected every mhe
that is in operation and numerous
prospects that need only small
amount of capital to place them III
the producing class.
The conditions for mining at low
cost in the Elk City district are ldeal,
with the exception of transportation,
and that will he to large extent
eliminated with the construction OF
the South, Fork wagon road. While
the Phillips 4 Johnson stage company
are giving the camps good service
there are road conditions which can
not be overcome by man or beast nis
is especially true OF that part oi ,ie
wagon road across old Baby anu
around China Point where the SNOW
is now piled up to depth OF ten lee'
or more. On the proposed new wa
gon road along the river there IL
less than two feet Of snow. \ Story
Is now going the rounds that citizen
of Grangeville, who recently came ou'
from Elk City and was stuck two days
in the snow on Old Badly, dreaheu
that he swas travelling on a strange
road and meeting another man aSheu

his machine to Sites on the Clearwa-
ter line, bringing up the daily papers
ordered by telegraph and passengers.
What little letter mail was received

FIREMENs DANCE FEBRUARY s2.

At meeting OF the local firemen's
brigade held last night 1t was unani-
mously decided to give a big dance on
Thursday, the 22nd of February, Wash
ington's birthday, for the benefit of
the firetighters. The local company
gives its service free for the protection
of the town from destruction by fire,
and its splendid work in the past has
saved thousands upon thousands of
dollars to the citizens of the commun-
ity. The claims of the members of the
organization upon the community and
the grateful consideration Of its citi-
zens is unquestioned, and hearty re-
sponse should be made by liberal pa
trOnage of the dance.

ton to relieve the situation bv sunnly-
ing water for the engines from tha
city reservoir. This had been done by
the city on the occasion of the block
ade few weeks ago, but in this in
stance an examination of the reservoir
disclosed such low state of the wa
ter supply that the request could not
be complied with without too great
risk to the safety of the city from
fire. The city authorities therefore re-
spectfnlly, but firmly, declined to
jeopardiZe the local interests. Had
they done so and a fire have broken
out we would have been absolutely
at its mercy. The railroad officials
did not take to the refusal very kindly
1t would seem. But when the whole
matter is summed up the present
blockaded condition from which the
citizens of the prairie are now suffer.
ing and from which they have beer
forced to suffer almost every winter
since the construction Of the railroad
some nine years ago, is due to the pol
Icy OF the railroad company itself. A
rotary plow, or snow sheds or fences
would have prevented all this incon
venience and cost TO both the company
and people, and it should have beer
done long ago. That the precaution
airy steps have not been taken is due
to a false economy on the part Of
those in charge of the conduct of thi.
line, or to neglect. A rotary plov
should be maintained ON this prairi,
! constantly throughout the entire win
ter months, thus forestalling such
siege of interrupted traffic as we hav,
been compelled to suffer during tn
past number of weeks. The CANA
Prairie High Line is paying piece o

be diverted to protect the patrons VIII

The full gravity of the present SITUATION

when. of the seventeen large firms repre-
