EVERY DAY'
Congested Condition of Traffic
During Busy Season Brings
Ninety-Eight Daily.
Last evening in his talk before the
Y. M. C. A. Cnief Dispatcher Maxwell
of the Dakota division of the Great
Northern, gave some interesting in
formation as: to the number of trains
run through Grand Forks in response
to several questions from his audi
ence.
Mr. Maxwell said that the Dakota
division had thirty-t^o passenger
trains daily and eighteen regular
freights. Take the extra trains run,
Mr. Maxwell placed the number of
trains run by the division daily for
the year at seventy. This is under
normal conditions. The miles of
trackage in the division is 595.
Last fall during the busy season,
the number of trains went as high as
ninety-eight daily. At one time there
were nineteen trains west from Grand
Forks for a distance where there
were only fourteen switches. To re
lieve the congested condition, a num
ber of trains were backed up the
Sarles-Lakota branch and held until
the track was opened so that the
switches equalled the trains.
This volume of traffic gives some
idea of how large Is the business of
Grand Forks and Its territory. When
't is considered that the Great North
ern runs most of its freights about a
mile long, the number of cars handled
daily is a matter of amazement.
NOTES FROM WASHINGTON.
Gossip of the Capitol Written fer
The Evening Times.'
Washington, Feb. 15.—Alexander
McDowell, clerk of the ho.use of rep
resentatives, has asked the house and
senate for an appropriation of $1,500
wherewith to pay the cost of removing
from the capitol. to the library'of con
gress documents no longer needed by
the members of the two houses. That
is the amount given him a litt.le more
than a year ago. He needs Another
appropriation because by the time he
got rid of the mass of useless docu
ments then on hand there had been
another -accumulation just as large.
It looks now as if there would have to
be an annual appropriation of about
that amount of money for that pur
pose.
No one has any idea of how much
paper and ink the government uses
for the publication of absolutely use
less information until some it»m like
that comes along to attract attention
to the lavish waste of money for print
ers' ink. In the case of the govern
ment it takes several barrels of ink
to cause even a little flutter of ihe
thinking apparatus of the miUlonsv A
drop of Ink to make millions think is
a very nice way of calling attention to
the good works men have got out wl
white paper and black ink,-but the
man who said it never had the average
government publication In mind.
Speaking of that appropriation to
carry useless documents from the cap
itol to the library made Representative
J. Van Vechten Olcott of New York
think of the time ^hen he' was very
green in the game of national law
making. Before he was sworn in he
received notice from the postmaster at
New York that there were 23 sacks of
ifiail for him at the postoffice which
he could have by calling fgr It
He had no Idea what a sack of mail
was, so he sent his office boy around to
get it, thinking that the youngster
could make several trips and'bring it
to his office. The boy-came back and
reported that he could not even lift
a sack.
The congressman-elect went around
and tried to put his own six-feet-three
under one of the sacks, but failed. The
sacks were filled with bound copieB of
consular reports #and each sack
weighed over 200 pounds^
"I paid $8 to have them hauled to
my two-by-four stable In New York,"
said the representative, rubbing his
chin reflectively. "Yesterdey I got
a peremptory order from Mrs. Olcott
to remove those books' because she
needed the stall for a horse she
bought It cost me $8 mane to get rid
of them."
Senator Tillman and -Representative
Gillespie, the two democratic con
gressmen who are doing their best to
make insomnia chronic with President
Cassatt of the Pennsylvania, are of the
same physical type^ of men. They look
,as If they ha3 been hewn out of blocks
of granite with a btige hammer. They
are both very dark and rather forbid
ding In their aspect Gillespie has a
poor eye, so that the resemblance is
heightened because,. Tillman lost one
of his eyes when lie Was a youth.
In speech, -however, they are unlike.
Gillespie Is soft-spoken, while Tillman
is rather harsh. Gillespie Is serving
his first term. Neither he nor the
senator from South Carolina ever
hopeB to win anything in a beauty
show.

operate with Superintendent Gregg
during the trip of the special train
over Northern Pacific lines in Minne
sota. Representatives of the two
states will(jointty handle the lectures
given on thds portion, of the seed
special's journey.-
Preparations for the trip of the
special train have been, iu progress
for some weeks. Northern Pacific of
ficials have entered heartily into the
plans originally suggested by Super
intendent Kaufmau and have donated
the special train- and crew to operate
it for the period to be covered by the
lectures. The railway taJtes no part
in the lectures themselves and these
arrangements have been outlined by
the officers of the farmers'institutes
and state officials directly in touch
with practical agricultural problems.
Traffic officers of the Nqrthern Paci
fic believe that the lectures will be
very valuable to the farmers and that
the trip of the- special train will re
sult-in a perceptible improvement in
the qualltiy of grain harvested next
year in the territory it will cover.
While the questions of selection and
tests of seed will be considered of
major importance,, the lectures and
demonstrations will cover a wide
range of additional problems of grain
raising and farmers who attend the
lectures will benefit by practical 'il
lustrations and the explanation of
simple methods of combatting the in-.
fiuences which lower grain grades and
reduce the amount harvested.
The seed grain special will leave
Fargo, N. D., on'the journey through
North Dakota on March 6, stopping

DEFENSE OF CLUBWOMEN*
Statistics Prove That Society Mothers
Are Perpetuating Humanity.
"Turn on the Light," the booklet in
which Olga Louise .Cadijah recently
charged club women with race Suicide
and neglect of liome and children, is
soon to be overshadowed bjr statistical
reports proving the falsity of Cfedijah'a
statements.
At the tlme of the' publication, which
startled club women throughout the
country, many clubs assailed the work
and emphatically denied the charges,
also obtained facts and figures relative^
to the matter.
The data procured has proved the
ideas expressed in the booklet to he
'absolutely false that many the
^brightest children are those whose
mothers are club women the happiest
and best kept homes are thosa'presided
over by women interested in clubs
and the percentage of divorces applied
for by club women is so small as to
establish the fact that .-clubs are a
blessing to women.
