Agent at Driscoll Shows Good Judgment in Flagging Fast Paa •enger—Nearly Collision. s The other day as No. 3 was coming along at a lively clip toword Driscoll the Driscoll agent got busy with hl» red flag and brought the train to a a stop at the station, much to the wrath of the conductor, who was still warmer when he found he was not stopped for orders, and without wait ing for the agent to give his reasons, signalled the two engines to go ahead, which was done with such vigor by the disgusted engineers that the train was broken In two. And here comes the fortunate part in the matter. A few moments after the break No. 6 yhlch was late, came bowling around the bend, all unconscious that No. 3 was west of Geneva, where the trains were to pass. Somebody had blun dered. The Driscoll agent heard the orders pa^s over the wire and took the responsibility of stopping No. 3, and thus saved what must have proved a bad wreck.

NEW RMMD SURVEY Forbea Made Headquarters for Sur veying Crews of the Midland Continental. Prirhfis ftepubllcan: A crew of about fifteen men pitched their tents |n Forbes this week and are busy sur veying a railroad line up this way from the south. The line, as we un derstand it, will connect the north with the south and will, no doubt be one of the best roads in the United States, as it "Will bring all the nor thern ritates in closer touch with the sea coast, which will make a better market for cattle, grain, etc., as well as giving us better rates on all pro ducts coming up from the south. As tiie line is to connect Winnipeg, Can., with Galveston, Tex., it will be several years before the road Is completed. G. P. Beach, who has charge of the work here, states that there is no doubt but that the work of construc tion will be begun from both ^nds next year. The road is now being surveyed from near Leola to this point and from here will take a northerly course to Jamestown. We under stand that the greater part of the line through South Dakota was surveyed last season. With two railroads Forbes can not help but become a good point and will take on quite a boom.

On the front page of the Los An geles Express of May 1 appeared a picture which will be one of great interest to Fargoans. It Is a fine pic ture of the drill team and band of the El Zagal Shriners an depicts them In all their glory and full regalia lined up in front of the Fargo Masonic tem ple. Below this picture which oc cupies four columns is a cut of Archie Craig, captain of the Arab patrol, and accompanying the picture Is an ar ticle which pays high tribute to the patrol and band stating that It was one of the crack organisations of the country. While the California scribe was in error in stating that the patrol and band accompanied the North Dakota delegation of shriners on their pil grimage to Los Angeles the recognition given the organization shows that it holds high rank throughout the country and will be appreciated by local shriners. quick seeding. Bottineau County Man ut Ninety Acreg in Quickly. One day this week ,. Mike Kltzman thought he would take a little exercise •and in the afternoon hitched up his team and went to the field and dragged and Reeded ninety acre# of wheat in a Single afternoon. Wonder what the plow, plodding farmer of the east would think of this .half day's work by one m&a? Impossible, did you say? Oil, no, it is a fact. This Is how it happened, says The Williow City Eagle: Mike blew himself for a gas oline engine this spring that was guaranteed to do all the work on the farm without other assistance than a man to guide it and feed it gasoline and It is making good. This particular day Mike had the field In question all plowed but not harrowed so he took three big harrows and hooked them onto his engine and then hooked three big press drills on behind the drags and started across the field. The scheme worked to perfection and by night Mike had ninety acres seeded. That is the way the young farmer of this country makes his money and it would do our friend Mr. New born good to come up and get in close touch with, our brand of civilization where one man does the work of a dozen teams aifg a# many men. AGAINST RAISE OBJECT TO HILL LINE8'INCREASE IN LUMBER RATES L08INQ MONEY BECAUSE OF INABILITY TO GET CAfMHT#K¥ AAf V*HV WRATHY. V' 1 i U, ?forth Dakotans art very tAttch It terested in tne attempt of the Hill lines to advance the lumber rate from the Pacific coast 10 cents a hundred pounds. The western mill owners have been unable to market their pro duct because of the car shortage on the Hill lines,, and in view of the fact that the two lines have not been able Iable. for two years to furnish sufficient cars to load the lumber, the attitude of the railroads ig considered very unreason Minneapolis lumbermen Interested ^In the North Pacific coast mills and their selling agencies in North Dakota are greatly aroused over the matter. Speaking in regard to the matter the Minneapolis Journal says: "In the light of the report that a move has been started by the Pacific 'Coast Liumbeir Manufacturers' asso ciation to divert the lumber traffic to th« 'Harrlman lines from the coast, the Minneapolis representatives of the manufacturers fall to understand the reason of the proposed action on the part of the Great Northern to ad vance a rate which is not applicable as It is, except on carload driblet# that are coming through from titer west. "Seventy-five per cent of the mills In Washington are on the Northern Pacific road. The lumber cannot bfij shipped on any other line, and for this reason any compact with the Harrl man line, through the interstate com merce commission's order to enforce through rates for lumber over the Harriman lines, would be futile, ac cording to eminent authority. With this understanding of traffic matters in the west it is apparent that the Hill roads would be in a position to engage other roads .in a general ad vance of lumber rates at 10 per cent. "The present rate on fir is 40 cents and on cedar and shingles 60 cents. The mills making this lumber are re ported to have borrowed to the limit io carry their lumber stocks, wlth^no relief In sight, and a condition as bad as that of 1906 predicted for this year. They are therefore, as a rufe, at the last ditch. With an advance in rates under the circumstances, it is figured by the shippers that the railroads be lieve that they might as well get more for hauling what lumber 'they can car ry, and thus make up to an extent for the heavy traffic which they have not the»cars or the facilities to move."

V BRONCHIAL COUGHS Breathe Hyomei's Healing* Air and *11 Irritation Will Be Quickly Cured. The most irritating and annoying form of cough Is that termed bronchia!. People subject to bronchial trouble, whenever there Is a change in th» weather or they are exposed to a draft will "catch" a bronchial cough, which is very disagreeable, irritating and an noying. Bronchial troubles cannot be cured by stomach dosing. The medicated air of Hy-o-mei is the only treatment that reaches the affected parts and give* relief and cure. It destroys all the dis ease germs- that are present In the nose, throat and lungs, soothes and rt lieves the irritated mucous membran. in all parts of the bronchial tubes and quickly overcomes the Irritation. Bronchitis is really an .inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the ait passages and Js purely a local disease, so that it needs a local treatment like that afforded by Hy-o-rnel. If there is any doubt in your mind as to tho power of Hy-o-rnel to cute bronchial troubles so that the system will resist coughs and colds, the unus ual-way in which It is sold by the Wal dorf Pharmacy should dispel that doubt.
