The following experienco of a newspaper man, taken from the Albuquerque Citizen will be met with a sympathetic response in the hearts of many readers. The writer was evidently suffering from a severe attack of the blues and the way he sums up his trials and tribulations Is. to say the least, very in terestlng: "A newspaper man has no business to Feck office. It is his business to try and get oflice for the other fellow: to sound the praises of the candidate and keep quiet his own feelings; to whoop her up for his man and let his man forget all aoout him when ho Is elected; to defend his candidate against the unjust attacks of the opposition, and see whatever favors his candidate has to bestow goes to the other fellow. It Is his business to boom the city for all it is wo:th month after month, and see $100 worth of printing go out of tho city because ten cents can be saved in doL.g so. It is the business of tho newspaper to eive every enterprise a fre- oucnt send-off ' and then catch Bheol be cause he had failed to record the fact that some prominent citizen had his delivery wagon painted. To subscribe liberally to every public, cnantaoie ana cnurcn enter tainment. advertise them for nothing, pay his own way to everything and then be called predjudiced and mean spirited because a column is not devoted to that particular affair. Do you wonder that there are many cranks In the newspaper business? It Is bound to make either a crank or a philoso pher out of a man." Bennington. Last Saturday evening a jolly sieighing party from Owosso, drove up to tho resi dence of C. F. Swayze, Bennlugton, to sur prise Miss Falrbank, teacher at Bennington school No. 1. The evening was spent with various games and amusements, and after refreshments were nerved, all started for home having spent one of the most enjoy able evenings of the season. Stock Notes.

Anything that tends to build upthe traffic of the Toledo, Ann Arbor & North Michi gan Railway Is of interest to all our readeis, particularly those in Owosso, as an exten sion of the business of the road means an imrrease of the number of employes, both on the road and in the car shops. The recent experiment of carrying long freight trains across Lake Michigan in mid-winter over the wild waves of the winter Morms and throueh the field of floating Ice has so far proven a marked success. The details of these trips, taken from a Milwaukee paper, are as follows: 'Twenty-four cars are carried on tho boats each trip. The cars are easily loaded, in fact, ho rapidly does the work of putting the cargo of railway rolling, stock go on, that in less than two hours from the time ti e boat docks she Is ready to leave again. The cars aro run down on the dock tracks, at the end of which is a heavy apron. When the Ann Arbor enters the harbor it goes up the river until It come opposite its slip. Then, by the aid of its two 6tern screws and single bow wheel, it turns its stem toward the slip and backs to the docks. lhe apron is dropped down so that the rails thereon form a connecting link between the tracks on the docks and those on the boat. Heavy iron straps are then put on to mako practically impossible any movement of the boat sufficiently to derail a car. Then the cars are run on the ferry, six of them on each of the four tracks. Wedges are used be tween tho cars and tho heavy timbers sup porting the upper deck, some of which are located in the space separating th9 several tracks. To make them more secure still, blocks are put against the side of the out side cars, and by the use of jackscrews placed against other timbers possibility nf a weaving of the cars Is prevented. With chains and irons passed over both trucks of the cars and secured to staples in tle floor of tho deck the car is kept from rolling on its wheels, and then men are stationed on the deck, to watch the cars, and if any of the screws or toggle used to secure them work loose they are immediately tightened, and udditional fastenings are used, if re quired. Thus the possibility of a movement of tho cars is removed as remotely as pos sible, lhis requires time, but not so much as was anticipated. Yesterday the boat arrived at 7:45 and at 9:45 It had discharged its cargo of cars of coal and miscellaneous wares, and had its twenty-four cars of Hour on the deck ready to leave her slip for the lake. So rapidly can the boat be loaded in this)manncr that the trip has been made from blank fort to Kewaunee and back, Including the loading, in sixteen hours. The Ann Arbor No. 2 arrived about ten days ago and is now making regular trips across the lake. She is a stronger built boat than tho No. 1, leing better braced and five feet longer. Both boats are seem ingly perfect in construction, good sailors and easily handled. Whether they are suc cesses from a financial point of view de- v pend upon whether carrying cars that dis tance across water on boats costing $200,000 eacli will pay. The company figures that It costs $2 per car to send on the ferry, whereas it would cost $7 the other way, be sides breaking bulk, whicil thi avoids, one of the principal advantages of the scheme. The trains are made up at i rankfort im mediately on arrival, and are run through without a break to New York. I lu; boats do their part of the work well, and make good time for freights, spinning along at an average of ten miles an hour. With the three wheels they can be easily handled. whether they have a rudder or not. iheir bow-wheels are of great advantage in ice breaking, but Caul Kel ley thinks it has a tendency to pull the nose to the starboard somewhat, and this may have done its share toward throwing the Ann Arbor vessel No. I out of her course imperceptibly. They are expensive boats to run, about thirty men are being employed on each boat. It cost about $10,000 to release the Ann Arbor No. 1 from the sand bar on which she was recently locked, but the boat is now evidently not a dollar the worse for the ex perlence. A visit to the T. A A. yards and depot at almost any hour of the day or night will enable our readers to see the long lines of Minneapolis tlour cars which are enabled to pass through Owosso In seeking tneir far eastern destination by reason of the en terprise or the Ashley's in putting into oper ation the big freight boats.
