In the Wednesday edition of the Daily Pioneer of last week an auth- orized interview from Senator Hack- ney of Minneapolis, chairman of the Senate committee on reapportion- ment, was printed. Three days af- terwards, the same interview ap- peared in the Twin City papers. The only paper in the state printing the Hackney interview simultaneous- ly with the Pioneer was a Duluth evening paper, a courtesy to that paper from the Pioneer. Readers of the Pioneer are aware that this paper prints legislative news ahead of the metropolitan press, particu- larly items of particular interest to this part of the state and the above instance is merely an illustration. GORDON LOOKS GOOD. Already there are half a dozen men who are prominent in present day politics who loom as possible candidates for the Republican nomi- nation, of governor of Minnesota in 1912. There is George T. Simp- son of Winona, the attorney general, who has the bee so bad that it is likely to die of excessive buzzing, leaving the attorney general stung. Julius ‘Schmahl, secretary of state, is another man who isn’t a bit offend- ed when he is accused of being big enough to fill the governor’s chair. H. H. Dunn, speaker of the house, of course is a possibility and, strange as it may sound, if you use the same surname and amend the initials to read “R. C.”, you have still another candidate, thank you. But there is one man whose star of ‘distany is growing brighter and brighter every day. At present he is holding down the comparitively easy position of lieutenant governor and as such is the presiding officer of the senate but when he is at home he has to work even harder than that for he is the editor of a newspaper at Brown’s Valley. His acquaint- ances will suspect by this time that ‘we refer to Sam Y. Gordon and we do. Mr. Gordon went to the president’s chair of the senate with the . good wishes of Minnesota .and the frex quently_expressed hope that his ser- vices there would be so noteworthy that two years hence he would be occupying the upholstered chair now filled by one Adolph O. Eberhart-I- want-to-be-a-Senator. Up to the present time the lieu- tenant governor has shown the char- acteristic of being the big man his SEVERAL DIE IN ~MONTANAST friends have said he was and if ne“‘BlizzardC(mlfifil)lls’CMflm continues the session as-he has begun it, he wil leave the capitol a formid- able contestant in the race for the next chief executive of the state. His frank, fearless style-makes a hit with the common people. Of course the big test is yet to come and time alone will tell the real story. I WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY I The Talk That Helps. Bemidji Pioneer: “The more you know about the cities; the' better Be- midji looks—Ilid or no lid.” | 'That’s the kind of talk that helps to make the Beltrami metropolis look so large every time one surveys the map of Minnesota.—Duluth News Tribune MacKenzie, the Live Wire, That live wire, W. R.-MacKenazie, secretary of the Northern Minnesota Developement Association is located at St. Paul during the legislative session, and it goes' without saying that the.interests of ‘Northern Min- nesota will receive careful attention, ~—Little Fork Times. Who is to Blame? The Duluth boy bandits are now wishing that they had never seen a gun. Nick Carter or Old Sleuth. There was a time when a base ball bat properly swung on the proper anatomy of these lads might have guided them into other channels. Who, now, is to blame for their de- plorable condition?—Itasca News. Iron The Virtue of Traveling. There are two great fallacies based on ancient and rusty saws it were a noble deed to demolish. One is that traveling is a form of wrongdoing, founded bellke on the stupid saying that a rolling stone gathers no moss. A pertinent reply would be that a mossy stone is mever highly polished and that a stone is not a proper place for moss, anyway. The other undermin- ing ‘caution is that one ought to- see ones own new country before.one sees the wealth of the old countries. - Un- less on business bent; there is no earthly reason why one-who can af- ford to travel should not begin at once ‘with the richest and most beau- tiful countries, with Italy and ‘Greece. Life is short and uncertain; one can- not tell what may happen to deprive one of sight and health and means day. after tomorrow, therefore it is well to see and enjoy the best while one can. —Harper’s Bazar.

In spite of her long years of inde peudence Mexico has not solved the drink problem. The national drink of the poorer classes is pulque (pro nounced “poolkay”), the fermented off- spring of a plant resembling the aloe. It tastes like stale buttermilk dashed with a strong dose of stagnant water and must be drunk within twenty-four hours of fermentation. Its action is instant and powerful, and its speedy results are softening of the brain, pa- ralysis of the nerves and death. So deadly are its effects that no employer of labor will employ a peon from the pulque making districts until he has, tried everywhere else.—Chicago News.)

The pitcher for the Neversweats, his fingers half frozen, failed dismally in getting the balls over the plate. “Aw,” said the captain, “I t'ought ye wuz one o' dese cold weather pitch- ers!” “I am,” said the slab artist, blowing on his benumbed digits to warm them, “but I ain’t a ice pitcher, blame ye!"— Chicago Tribune, 1 do not know of any way so sure of making others happy as of being'so oneself.—Sir ‘Arthur Helps.

TRAINS ¢ 'STILL ‘BLOCKED i« Great Northern la\Worst: Sufferer, but Hopes Are Expressed That the Sit: uation Wil -improve Shortly—Other Coast Roads Traveling on Schedules Several Hours Late. ““Helena,” Mont.; Jan. 14.—Blizzard conditions continue:throughout Mon- letup. In addition to the loss of his life by ahomesteader near Culbertson ~and the freezing to death near White Sul- phur Springs of a stagecoach passen- ger news comes of the death of Har- old A. Leland: and the marrow escape of five others in a snowslide in upper Madison ‘basin. The men were :clearing the road when an avalanche swept down from steep cliffs without warning. Two men found themselves near the surface and got out. - With greatdifficulty they lo: cated their three companions and By ‘superhuman’ efforts ‘succeeded in res- cuing them. A long-search revealed the dead body of Leland. The Great Northern is the chief suf- ferer among the railroads. :Because of the slides near Essex the road is com- pelled to route trains between' Helena and Spokane over the Northern Paci- fic tracks. Latest advices indicate that the ‘main line may be cleared in twenty-four hours. Great difficulty is experienced in making headway. As fast as: the track is cleared in.one place new slides come down. Passengers ontrains stalled number fifty, but sufficient .eatables are: on hand to prevent suffering. Large crews of men-are ‘worked from both ends-of the chief slides. Northern Pacific and St. Paul traing are ‘traveling on schedules several hours late. HEAVY..SNOW :IN -CALIFORNIA Depth of From Two to Twelve Feet ‘Reported. Reno, Nev,, Jan. 14.—The 'present snow storm is the heaviest within the memory in this district. After a steady fall of thirty:six hours there was a record:depth of two:feet on the level. A depth of twelve feet is reported at Truckee and six feet at Immigrant Gap, Cal. Passenger trains- are ‘being held at Truckee, Cal., and Sparks, Nev. ‘Snow ' Blockade 'in Canada. Vancouver, B. C.; Jan. 14.—While the snow blockade situation is relieved In British Columbia the Canadian Pa- cific railroad is having great trouble in-the mountains. The best snow fighters in the Canadian Pacific rail- way service are on the ground seeking to start traffic moving, but so far their efforts are unavailing. The-tempera- ture ‘at Field is 42 degrees below zero, with a bitter wind blowing and snow falling. Under these conditions the efforts of the: workmen count for little. Chinook Wind at Deadwood. Deadwood, S. D., Jan. 14.—Dead- wood was suffering under a biting north wind and 15 degrees below zero. Twenty minutes ‘later the residents were basking in “40 above” tempera- ture and the roofs commenced to drip. A chinook wind caused the sudden change of twenty-five degrees in a few minutes.
