We were up looking at the water flume and Blzlng up the mains and hydrants this morn ing In both Ely and East Ely and they are certainly high class for a com munity of this size.

We will carry good re ports from here to put with the very many of that kind that are going the rounds in all directions on the out side.” Yes, everything is lovely here, said O'Grady, “except the Ely chim neys. Too many stovepipes sticking up through the roofs to be quite pleasing to the eye of an insurance man, but I understand you have an ordinance in way of enforcement now which will remedy this feature.

Statements of the number of causes of fatal and non-fatal acci dents and of the nature and extent of non-fatal injuries are given In de tail for the various occupations. The occupations are grouped under the general heads of station men, train men, shopmen, roundhouse men, yard employes, maintenance-of-way em ployes, floating equipment employes and miscellaneous employes. The figures show that railroad em ployes working on or about tracks, trains, engines or cars are exposed to a high accident liability. Of the fatal accidents to employes other than station men. shopmen and trackmen in New Jersey from 1888 to 1907, 93.9 per cent were caused by moving trains, locomotives or cars, while 100 per cent of the deaths of station men, 58.3 per cent of the deaths of shopmen, and 95.6 per cent of the deaths of trackmen were due to this cause. Of the total fatal rail way accidents 93.5 per cent were due to the movement of trains, locomo tives or cars.

(i'-TH KOfTK TO COAST— Construction of New Itoad to Dulutli to Shorten Line 1250 Miles. GRAND FORKS, N. D.. April 21.— The activities of the Soo Line In building its cutoff between Thief River Falls and Duluth with such runs means more than has appeared on the surface thus far, according to reports here, It means in brief that/ the Canadian Pacific has found a way to make its route between Montreal and the Paelfe coast 250 miles short er than any other transcontinental lie. The Great Northern and Northern Pacific are planning for cutofTs which will materially shorten their lines to the roast and the Canadian Pacific and Soo do not propose to be left behind. The Canadian Pacific road for 1.000 miles east of Winnipeg runs through some of the roughest country In the world, with many heavy grades and numerous long de tours In the wild country north of Lake Superior. Half a dozen miles and traversed In many places to take the train one mile nearer their goal. While the new Duluth-Thlef River Falls and Rrooten line and another projected by the Soo from Tolley, In northwestern North Dakota, are completed, the Canadian Pacific will be able to make the transcontinental trip in hnlf a days' time less than any other route. The Duluth-South Shore line, now owned by the same Interests, will take the Canadian Pacific trains at i Sault Ste, Marie, Mich., and land them in Duluth over an almost air | line; thence the trains will go over the new line to Thief River Falls, and from there over the Son’s “Wheat line” to Tolley and thence over fho cutoff, to l>e built this season from Tolley, to connect with the Canadian Pacific’s main line In Western Can ada.

Koons and Mrs. Koons, was evaded by the officers who brought Willaman back from Chicago. The prisoner was spirited in an automobile from Mas sillon to this city, and rushed into jail through a little-used corridor of the court house.
