The commission may suspend the rates until an inves. tigation of the situation can be held. The proposed advances increase first class rates by rail and lake and rail from St. Paul to New York, from 83 cents to 90 cents a hundred. Re- cently, in accord with the decision in the Duluth rate case, they reduced the Duluth rates from 68 .to 62 cents a hundred, thus increasing the “spread” between St. Paul and Duluth from 15 to 28 cents.

D., Dec. 20.—For an en- gagement to wed of six years’ stand- ing and which failed of fulfillment, Miss Josie Erickson of Ambrose, N. D., received compensation amounting to $1,683 in her suit against J. S. Goehring of Sarles N. D, in the dis- trict court here. She asked $10,000. INGREASED RATES ty feet high, the other men 'were killed, but we found signs of life in him and shipped him to the hospital where he .stayed nearly. - eight months. T’d hesitate to tell you how many bones were broken, but I think the spin was the only one not frac- tured and that was dislocated. His job is safe for the rest of his life. He loves to tell about it. Wait *till he gets back and I’ll ask him.” Presently Miguel returned, side- ways, like a crab, but with agilty all the same. “Tell the gentleman how it feels to be blown up,” said the engineer. “Caramba! I seet on ze aidge of ze cut, smoke my pipe, watch ze work when—Boom! I fly up in air, up, up! I stop. It seem I stop long time. I see ozzair sings fly. up past me. I start down—I breathe smoke, sand. Bang! ‘I hit ground. When I wake I in bed at hospital. Can’t move. Same as dead!” “Miguel never fails to lay stress on the time he stopped before beginning his descent,” comments my friend, “and on the calmness with which he viwed the prospect, particularly the other things going up. His chief sor- row is that no moving picture man took the incident.” Incidents of heroic self-sacrifice are not known among the dynamite handlers. Here is the story of Angel Alvarez, an humble worker on the Big Job. He was getting ready a surface blast of dynamite and all around him men were working in calm assurance that he would notify them before the explosion, "Happen- ing to glance up he saw a great boulder just starting to slip down the.cut into the pit where he stood with two open boxes of dynamite. He knew that disaster impended. He could have jumped from the pit and run saving himself but sacrificing his comrades. Instead he shouted a frantic warning and seizing the two boxes of dynamite thurst them aside out of the way of the falling boulder There was no hope for him. The rock would have crushed him in any event. But one stick of dynamite fell from one of the hoxes and was exploded—-though the colossal ex- plosion that might have occurred was averted. They thought that Al- varez wasc broken to bits when they gathered him up, but the surgeons patched him up, and made a kind of a man out-him. Not very shapely or vigorous is Angel Alvarez now, but in a sense he carries the lives of twenty men he saved in that moment of swift decision.

DYNAMITE AT PANAMA Some Accidents that Have Ocourred During the Use of More Than 20,000,000 Pounds of High Explosives When one learns that a pound of dynamite has been used for every two cubic yards of material remov- ed from the Panama Canal and com- pares that with the more than 200,- 000,000 cubic yards of excavation, one gets an idea of the partly delayed by high explosives in the attack on the Isthmus. Like the Pilgrims in the Iindian wars, Col. Geothals’ men have had to put their trust in Pro- vidence but keep their powder dry.] Dynamite has been man’s most useful slave in this great work, but like all slaves it now and then rises in fierce and murderous revolt. ‘Though during the past three and one-quarter years, in work under the writer’s charge,” writes Col. Gail- lard, ove'r 20,000,000 pounds of dy- namite were used in blasting. But eight men have been killed, three of whom failed to go a safe distance and were killed by flaying stomes, and two by miscounting the number of shots which had gone off in a ‘dobe’ group, and approaching the group before the last shot had ex- ploded.” Prior to Col. Galliard’s time, how- eyer, there was one great explosion. when 44,000 pounds of dynamite were touched off accidentally—on one yet knows how. Twenty-six men were killed and a host wounded. One day at Matachin an éengineer with whom I was talking called a Spaniard and sent him off on an er- rand. I noticed the man walked queerly and commented on it “It's a wonder that fellow walks at all,” said my friend,.with a laugh. “He was sitting on a ledge once when a blast below went off prematurely and Miguel, with three or four other men, ‘and a few tonsof rock, dirt and | other flebrll, wefit up into the air. t eigh- ROGER Your dollars will positively go further during this sale than at any time. is the best, and our stock is the most complete; best kept and attractive in the north central part of the state.
