Still the promoters of the Pacific lines are not to be blamed for failing to realize what was in store for these roads and for the great empire they have helped to develop, for In 1M10 the total freight movement westward from the Missouri Kiver Into the Sima Pe district was 1 S.Oli tons, and there was no eastward moveuj'-'Ut at all.

It was hardly to bo foreseen that these figures would be multiplied nearly a million times lu a little more thau forty years. As the Appletou article points out. this astounding growth ha? revolutionized the mothods of railroad construction in the West. The newer western lines are being built for tbe buslncbB in the territory t'uey traverse, to develop sections without transportation and to afford facilities for the rapidly growing ton. nage of the Pacific Coast Stales, which the existing roads have been ui.able to handle.

Many herds of deer and caribou are crossing tbe lluti and iuvad lng the lake and forest regions of northern Minneaota.

The Justice was prevailed upon to adjourn the case' until Miss Bates could I'tocure counsel, which he waa loath to do. I'pon appearance or counsel on Misa Bates' behalf the case was diopjied. It Is understood that Miss Bates was perfectly right in administering this 1unMihiiieiit a It was necessary In self defense. The youth vas expelled 1nt year from the Sergeant hchool, and was admitted again up. on promise of good behavior.

Miss Petes' many friends here rejoice over her complete vindication. The community was shocked when word was spread of the death of Hcniy Mewhorter, which o-irred Saturday morning, while digging a well for Rev.

The little fellow squirmed under the stern gaze awhile and finally blurted out: "It wasn't nte. sir, we just mov. ed here las' week." An exchange tells a horrible tale of a young lady who thoughtlessly jet ked-back her head so suddenly to ktep from being kissed that It broke her neck.

The Introdu-tion of Manual Training Into the Schcol curriculum has been a Blep in this direction. Tills movement, as Is well known, has takfn two forms in ihe elementary Schcol.

The first of thee niay bo Illustrated by the develop. n.cnt of Sloyd In America. Sloyd models at first were largely of simp's klt'hen and ollrer housHhoId utensils. This was natural and Inevitable where Industry whs largely domestic. The first seat change In the models took p'ace with the reogni-t'Oh of the fact that In modern city life the center of gravity of the heme has moved from the kitchen to the sitting ropm, and hence there grew up a demand for models of a ore art'st'c character.

This gave to art teachers the opportunity to usi ai.puraiion ana me nunioer and va. riety of valued, models lias been greatly increased.
