ENGINES RUN ON SNOW.
NEW LOCOMOTIVE BUILT FOR
NORTHERN PINERIES.
Mounted on Sleds, the Machkine Hauls
Great Loads of Logs—Has Novel
Traction Device Speed of
Five Miles an Hour.
Minneapolis, Minn.—A new and
powerful snow locomotive for use in
large part in hauling logs in the
pineries of northern Minnesota, Wis
consin and other northwestern states
has been built and put into service.
A portable boiler, firebox pattern, is
mounted on a heavy channel iron
frame which extends from the extreme
front to the rear of the machine. The
channels support the cab and the coal
tender. A water tank is carried under
the boiler on the same frame. The
latter in turn is supported by the
heavy traction wheels in the rear and
by the sled in front. The boiler is ten
feet in length, 35 inches in diameter,
tubes 13 inches.
Four cylinders are provided for
transmitting power. These are at
tached in pairs, two engines on-each
side of the boiler, bolted to the frame
and boiler in an upright position.
Each pair of engines is equipped with
reversing link motion.
The traction device consists of two
heavy runners, one on either side of
the engine, which are carried on a 5%-
inch iron ghaft. On each end of these
runners is attached a pair of .heavy
boxes in which iron shafts run. Each
shaft has a heavy sprocket wheel and
these wheels mesh into and carry the
tread on log chains. The latter are
12 inches wide and about 28 feet long.
Each pair of runners also has two
tool-steel roller chains. These chains
are shown on the sides of the sprock
ets under the tread chain. This trac
tion device is novel and certainly the
most interesting part of this locomo
tive.
When the engines are started power
Uncle Sam’s Commerce Is Booming.
His Trade Growth in Two Years Is
More Than $31,000,000.
Washington.—The enormous growth
in American trade with its noncontigu
ous territories in the last calendar
year as contrasted with the preceding
one is shown in figures compiled by
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of commerce and labor. In value
this commerce aggregates $131,000,-
000, compared with less than SIOO,-
000,000 in 1904.
Of this trade $59,000,000, in round
numbers, consisted of merchandise
shipped to those territories and $72,-
000,000 worth of merchandise receiv
ed from them. In addition to this
there was received from Alaska over
$18,500,000 worth of gold, being its
own production, and $6,500,000 of for
eign gold, principally from the British
territory adjacent.
Of the $59,000,000 worth of mer
chandise sent to the non-contiguous
territories about $22,000,000 worth
went to Porto Rico, $17,500,000 to
Alaska, $12,500,000 to Hawaii and $7,
000,000 to the Philippines.
The following figures show how
American shipments of merchandise
have increased in 1906 as compared
with 1904; Porto Rico from $12,000,-
000 to $22,000,000, Alaska from §ll,-
500,000 to $17,500,000, Hawaii from
$11,000,000 to $12,500,000. and to the
Hon. John Barrett.
is transmitted by spur pinions on
crank shafts to pinions on the front
end of the driving shafts. On the rear
end of these driving shafts are at
tached bevel pinions which mesh in
large bevel gears running on quills
on the main bearing.
These bevels also have a spur gear
attached to them which carries the
power through an intermediate gear
and another spur gear to the shaft of
the rear sprockets, the rear being the
driven sprocket. All gearing is cut
from solid steel. The runner castings,
sprockets, tread chains and all parts
subject to severe strain are made
from a high grade of cast steel and are
buflt for severe work.
The cab is fitted up in the usual lo
comotive style, each engine having
quadrant and level for reversing. The
regular type of locomotive throttle is
used.
These engines weigh about 15 tons
without coal or water and about 18
tons when ready for the road. With
200 pounds of steam pressure they de
velop about 100 horsepower and have
a speed of from four to five miles an
hour.
When the roads are well graded and
iced these engines will handle from
seven to ten heavy logging sleds. Sev
eral engines hauled 60,000 feet of
green hemlock and hard wood to the
load and made three round trips every
ten hours on an eight-mile road, or 50
miles a day.
The builder of these snow locomo
tives, a manufacturing company of
Eau Claire, Wis., has delivered several
of them to lumber firms, principally
in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and suc
cessful records were made. One en
gine near Walker, Minn., took nine
sleds to the landing, each sled carry
ing 12,000 feet of white pine and Nor
way logs, and one made four trips
on a five-mile road every day. This
engine is particularly serviceable
when the timber is scattered or
stands in small bodies.
Philippines from $5,000,000 to little
over $7,000,000.
Shipments of . merchandise from
noncontiguous territories to the Unit
ed States during the same period have
increased as follows: Hawaii from
$25,000,000 to nearly $30,000,000, Porto
Rico from $14,000,000 to $20,750,000,
Alaska from $10,500,009 to $12,000,-
000, while in the. case of the Philip
pines there is shown a slight reduc
tion.
The gold received from Alaska, the
total of domestic production, was in
1904 a little over $9,000,000 and in
1306 $18,500,000.
Rare Violin Is Found.
New York.—A violin, which the
pclice said had a label marked “An
tonfus Stradivarius, Cremonensis, Fa
ciebat Anno 1736,” was unearthed
among a quantity ‘of supposed stolen
goods. The violin and goods were
found at the home of Ernst Erinkert,
who is under arrest. An expert wil'
be asked to examine the violin to as
certain if it is a genuine Cremona.
$12,500 Paid for a Vase.
London.—Twenty-five hundred gui
neas, a record price, was paid at
Christie's for a square-shaped Chinese
vase of the Kang-He period 20%
inches high. Duveen Bros. were the
buyers.

HOME MERCHANTS
GOOD REASONS WHY THEY DE
SERVE YOUR SUPPORT.
MEANS MUCH TO COMMUNITY
He is at the Head of the Things
That Are Good for the
Town and Your
self.
(Copyright, by Alfred C. Clark.)
The above head is a subject that
can well be treated as open for dis
cussion and consideration at any and
all times. It is also a subject that
should interest all persons who have
at heart the welfare of the community
in which he lives and who wishes to
see it grow and prosper.
No person can afford to do what he
knows will work an injury to the com
munity in which he lives. In justice
to himself he cannot refuse his sup
port to the home industries that are
striving for existence and the welfare
,of the town in which he goes to do his
,trading.
In considering this question |t
should be borne in mind that the coun
‘try people, like all other American
‘citizens, are always on the lookout for
a place to invest their money that
wiil bring them the biggest returns
for the least expenditure; in this they
are right and are justified in so doing,
but, at the same time they should re
member that they are dependent on
the home merchant for the money that
they send to foreign markets.
If they should stop to think how
these catalogue houses are operated,
and look into, and know, the trus con
dition of affairs, probably they would
reconsider the stand they had taken
toward them. In many cases the peo
ple are ignorant of the true surround
ings and inside operations of these
concerns and think they are doing
right in sending them their money.
They are led to believe that what they
get from the catalogue house is the
same article that the home merchant
sells, only at a much lower price. The
‘majority of the people do not know
that they are buying the cheapest
article that can be manufactured and
It's a Shell Game—You Pay Your Money Without Knowing What You Are
Going to Get.
that they are in reality paying more
for an inferior grade of goods than
those sold by the home merchant,
which probably cost them a few cents
more.
Since the catalogue house has
sprung into the commercial world and
begun operations in the United States,
all kinds of schemes have been tried
and worked to get the money from
the people that are always looking for
bargains. No expense has been spared
in their struggle for the almighty dol
‘lar of the country people, and they
have been so far successful, at the
great expense of the home town of the
people that sent their money to these
concerns.
Magazines bave been started for
the sole benefit of the catalogue house,
and these circulated among the coun
try people at ten or 15 cents a year.
They build up a circulation on this
low price of hundreds of thousands;
this circulation brings to them mil
lions of dollars in advertising from the
catalogue houses and this money ex
pended for advertising is more than
doubled from the sales of these con
cerns to the country people who are
losers by the transaction.
Catalogues are sent out telling the
people that the house from which they
came is the cheapest place in the
country to buy, and it is, if the person
recelving this catalogue wants a cheap
article, not only in price, but also in
make and material. The farmer re
ceives this catalogue, looks it over,
and after reading the well composed
guarantee or assurance that the goods
described in it are the very best that
can be found anywhere, sends in an
order. The house receives the order
and immediately ships the articles
wanted. The farmer drives many
miles to get them and when the box is
.opened it is found to contain some
thing much below his expectations,
but this does not satisfy his mind on
the fact that he has been duped and
that he is not getting his full money
value. In a second order he may be
treated the same as the first one, but
still he may think that he has syved
‘money by buying it where he could
get it cheap.
At the same time the merchant at
home has the goods on the shelf in
his store waiting for them to be taken
away 80 that he can replace them with
,newer goods, thereby keeping his
steck fresh and up-to-date. If he has
ao¢ the article wanted he can order it
from the wholesaler or manufacturer
&nd it will be sent to the purchaser
in as good condition and short time
&s If it had been ordered from a csta
logue house. The home merchant’s
Dbusiness must be kept up and in order
to do this it is absolutely necessary
that the people at home patronize
him and help him keep up with the
times, or else he will soon be out of
the struggle for existence among the
country people.
The home merchant should not be
expected to pay the highest price for
produce and farm products and then
be turned down by the seller of these
articles when he wants anything in
the merchant’s line. He should be the
first one to be consulted when the
farmer intends buying. He should ke
seen and arrangements made for the
purchase of the article, if he does not
carry it in stock.
The home merchant advertises or
should advertise, in the home paper.
This keeps the home paper in the field
and helps the community along. The
people take the home paper becaase
it gives all the local news that they
cannot get any other way and thus the
advertisements of the merchants are
read by them. If the people do aot
patronize the home merchant he can
not afford to advertise, and without
advertising a paper will soon prove a
failure. Soon the home paper is sent
to the wall for the want of support
from the merchants; it may have a
large circulation, but withoyt the mer
chant’s help it will soon be lost to
sight. Then the merchant is next to
get out of business for the want of
support, and the town will decrease in
population, and the people will won
der what the trouble is when the
editor and the merchant leave town
together,
The home merchant contributes to
the support of the church, he pays
his taxes to keep the schools up, he
contributes to the horse show, the fall
festival, and the hundred and one
things that he is supposed to help out
and give his support to. He is at the
head of the list for everything that is
for the good of the community and he
deserves the honest and hearty co
operation of all the people, all the
time, that are interested in the wel
} fare of the community in which they
live. The merchant helps to elect the
‘ men that are to represent them in ihe
city, county, state and national af-
fairs, and he is ever on the go looking
to the interests of the people.
The people like to be entertained
and they will come many miles to
some amusement given by the mer
chants of the town where they are
ever ready to go to sell their farm
products. The merchant cannot give
these entertainments unless he has
the support of the people and it is not
fair to expect this of the men that are
striving for a livellhood, when the peo
ple 'send their money to a concern in
some far away city that will neither
contribute to any of these enterprises
or take an interest in the surround
ings thereof.
Home trading makes home indas
tries, brings more to the town and
keeps them idere, and it helps to build
up the place. But the town will be at
a stand-still so long as the people per
sist in this way of robbing the home
merchants of the right to live and do
business among them.
If the people will keep their maney
at home there will be no need for
complaint. The place will assume a
lively air, it .will take dn a metropoli
tan look, and the people will say to
their neighbor that business is good,
and it will be, as long as the people!
continue to trade in the home mar
kets. The least that a person can do
toward the betterment of the com
munity and his own interests, is to
keep the money at home and see to it
that it is put where it is most needed
and wanted.
This should be a vital question to
all concerned in the welfare of his
community and it should be an estab
lished rule that one should not seek
for things in other parts that he can
get at home.

Origin of “Helpmeet.”
“Helpmeet” has had a curfous his
tory which began with the bibiical
account of the creation, when “the
Lord God said, It is not good that
the man should be alone; I will make
him an help meet for him.” That is
to say, a fit assistant. But the two
words hove become curiously combin
ed into a “helpmeet,” and they are
constantly used as ome. Moreover,
the confusion is increased by the cor
ruption of the words into “help-mate,”
and Macaulay writes of the walting
woman who was ‘generally consid:;-
ed as the most suitable help mate se.
a parson.” 3
U. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal lngredieats
Coatained ia Pe-ru-na.
Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such a catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden eeal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (ca
tarrh of the shomach), chronic intesti
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca
tarrh of the liver) and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic organs.
It is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms of diseases pe
culiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as a stomachic and as
a tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
'been very largely overlooked by the
‘medical profession for the past fifty
‘years. The seeds are to be found in
‘very few drug stores. The United
; States Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that it is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as a sub
stitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of
Peruna, is classed by the United States
Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and
diuretic. It acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. It acts as a stimu
lant on the genito-urinary membranes.
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys
entery and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.

nials of what the people think of Pe
runa as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony of those who
have tried it.
Feminine Amenities.
“Isn’t that the poetess over there
in the corner who came to see us after
dinner the other night?” asked the
girl, “and wept all gver the place, tell
ing us her tale of woe; wept so that I
went out and got some things for
her dinner and cooked them for her
and you brought out a bottle of your
very best wine and gave it to her?’
“Yes,"” returned the woman, “she
doesn’'t secm to see us now, does
she?”
“The next time she comes to us
with her tale of woe,” afirmed the
girl severely, “she won't see us, if we
catch a glimpse of her first.”

Allan Sankey, son of the famous sing
ing revivalist, is following his father's
footsteps as a composer, and some
of his hymns are popular in New
England revival meetings.
AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair
White but SBhe Was Cured by
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Do mnot seek rellef from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause of -your
suffering. That Is the message which
a former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and otherg taat reduce tne
heart action may cause temporary re
lief but the pain is sure to return wita
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a
beautiful home at 811 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich., suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
“My trouble began about six years
ago and I did not rest as I should
ha~e, but kept up about my many
duties. After a time I became so
weak I could not do any, work at all.
I had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top of my head. My eyes were
easlily tired and at times I saw black
spots before them. I consulted sev
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
“I lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost in despair
when a friend recommended Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills. I triedl them ac
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end of three
months 1 had gained ten pounds in
welght and had no more trouble wita
my nerves. I have been in perfect
health ever since and can heartily
commend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent postpaid, on re
ceipt of price, 50 cents per box, six,
boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams

Cancer Cured by Herps.
Welsh papers have been telling of
late tales of wonderful cures of cancer

Ly means of herbs at Cardigan. Dr.
Hugh Biddle was commissioned by the
Daily Mail to investigate. He reports:
“For more than twenty years these
humble practitioners have been treat
ing all kinds of external diseases with
cintments and salves made entirely
from herbs. The brothers live very
uupretentiously on their farm. about
two miles from Cardigan. At present
there are about forty-five persons Im

Great English Coliseum,
The athletic gstand that will be
erected in England for the Olympie
games next year will seat 367,000 peo
ple. At Athens the Stadium seated
90,000. The English stands will be the
greatest bullding of the kind ever
erected. It will seat four times as
many as the ancient Coliseum at Rome.
At the English derby, the greatest
sporting event of the world, they some
times have 200,000 spectators, but only
a few of these are seated. At least
half the number are scattered over
tae hills within the race track and for
a mile up and down the course. This
gizantic preparation for the Olympic
games of 1908 shows how amateur
athletic sports have grown in popular
ity durirng the past few years.
