Mickey, son of the late ei gjtemor. lias been appointed deputy state treasurer under State Treas urer George A good appointment. Iowa probibs have begun laying plans to oust the mulct law from the Iowa Statute books. We doubt their mrcem. when we remember the his tory of prohibition in tliat state of some years since According to the late census. Khode Island is the greatest populated of any of the states, having over 500 people to the square mile. Nevada lias the honor of being tailender with seven-eight* of one person to the square mile Nebraska comes In between with 15 persons to the square mile. It looked last week as though I Iffilahutny. tiie newly appointed war den of the penitentiary would have ’ to run tiie gauntlet of investigation as to his official conduct before the question of his appointment was dehnitely settled, but all seems to l>ave been quiet along those lines the past few days. President Taft has started his 1 presidential boom for a second term, j Champ Clark lias made good headway for tiie democratic nomination for the same place, and from the way the thing looks, it is very probable tlie race will be between these two worthies for tliat exalted office. Xow begin to look for a couple of years of ' presidential campaigning. But how | about Theodore' Tiie big strike of engineers on the •-I western roads did not materialize as tiie roads and men got together and compromised tiieir difficulties. Tlie differences between tiie train men and conductors lias also been adjusted, tiie roads conceding a ten per cent raise, hence the white wmged dove of peace lias spread its pinions above tiie whole push and all is serene and lovely. Archie lioisey. tlie man-bird, who made tiie flight*, at tlie State Fair .ast fall, was killed by the fall of his flying machine at Los Angeles, last Saturday, on tiie same day. at New Orleans, another aviator. Moisant. tiie fim man to fly across the English chanm-i with a passenger, was killed wtien tils machine fell 100 feet. This makes Xt men who have been killed in the flying business A little too {risky for comfort. Gov. Siiailenberger. with defeat still ringing in his ears, on account A tlie present primary law. is out in favor of a return to tlie primary system inaugurated by tiie republi cans ano taken off by the democratic substitute enacted by tiie Bourbons at the last session of tlie legislature. But even if there is a return to tlie old primary system, there will have to be some drastic amendments, with penalties, to prevent voters with seared consciences and little truth fulness from helping parties of oppos ite Doliticai belief to select their candidates. Here in the Loup City primaries we know of men who called for republican tickets, who were deyd-ln-the-wooi democrats, and vot ed that ticket at tiie primaries. Tlie re should be some system devised bo prevent such work, or tlie proposed cuange back to tlie former system will be of no effect in fact—at least in some voting precincts. Good Health Resolutions "Resolution Number One: I will try to become more intelligent con cerning my body." says I>octor Jean Williams in Woman's Home Com panion for January, “looking with greater respect upon my physical re sources and trying to realize more fully that upon them the force and success of my life largely depend. "Resolution Number Two: I will arrange, if possible, to supply suf ficient pure air for every breath 1 take, thus better to combat every source of disease that might attack me. to improve my chance for long dfe and to increase my efficiency. “Resolution Number Three: I will be kinder to my digestive organs, avoiding all excess and not asking them to struggle with food for which they have repeatedly shown antago nism. “Resolution Number Four: I will treat my brain and nervous system with grrater consideration, and fifty slx hours of each week shall be de voted to sleep. “Resolution Number Five: I will try to do in eight 1 tours as muchpiard work as 1 sliould do in one day. “Resolution Number Six: I will devote at least two of the twenty four hours to such exercise as 1 find m «st beneficial. “Resolution Number Seven: I will five my moral support to every effort, public or private, in behalf of the betterment of health conditions, so becoming a small factor in tbe great movement for moral and physical npiift.'’ . It. was some blizzard. Early last Sunday morning brought to this sec tion and to all Nebraska and over the entire west, one of the severest bliz zards that has visited us in years. Commencing about midnight, the wind reached the velocity of a hurri cane. tilling the air with a blinding snow, continuing all day Sunday and nearly all of Sunday night, easing otf toward morning, the thermometer sinking to 20 degrees below. The storm was of such magnitude and ferocity that everywhere there was a chance great drifts of snow resulted, blockading railroads, and causing a general suspension of business on all the main and branch lines. Monday morning's passenger from Sargent on the B. & M. came in but a little late, but when it got to a point about a mile the other side of Farwell it con cluded to rest a season after being introduced to a big cut packed with snow, where it remained all day Mon day and Monday night and up to a o’clock Tuesday morning, when a snow plow came to the assistance of the belated train. Before that, how ever. the passenger engine had suc cumbed to the weather and froze in it's tracks and it was II o'clock Tues dav morning before it was able to resume it's journey to Lincoln. On the train were a number of our Loup City students returning to their college duties, who undoubtedly can a tale unfold rivaling the Arabian Nights, so to speak. Monday night on the Union Pacific here came a tale of woe. Two engines pushing a snow plow had reached here and after rounding the “Y”, a broken rail in the yards ditched the whole thing. A wrecking crew came up early in the morning and succeed ed in getting the engines back on the track a little before noon, allowing the motor to make its journey to St. Paul, where a train was scheduled to meet it and take the passengers on to the Island. The trainmen brought in some grievious tales of the condition on the main line, especially at Grand Island, where it was claimed some fifteen passenger trains were tied up Mon day, and over the yards some 27 big mogul engines frozen up and the roundhouses filled besides—the worst tie-up in years. The thermometers Monday morning registered 20 to 22 degrees below, and Tuesday morning registered from 28 to 3o degrees below. However, the absence of wind Tuesday night made it seem much warmer. Had there been the high wind of Monday night, it is not difficult to realize the dis aster it would have meant to live stock. We mention a few of our farmer friends who have lost numbers of hogs by last Sunday's blizzard: Marsel Youngquest, D. L. Jacoby and H. Hauhard, who each lost several hogs. J ust across the Valley county line. Harley McCall lost fifteen head of hogs. Jack John lost eight hogs and Lem Richardson lost a mare. E. Holcomb in Ohio Cortland, Ohio, Dec. 31, 1910.—To Friends at home in LoupCity: Think ng that some might like to hear from ne, 1 will write you. I left Loup City the 19th, was in Jmaha twelve hours, and stopped in ?hicago twenty-four hours, where I was entertained in the 120,000-home )f .Mrs. Walworth and daughter. In lue time, we took in the elevated railroad and visited Marshall Field’s store, it being the largest one of it's Kind in the world, twelve stories ibove the surface and three below. To say that everything is grand is inly a feeble way to express it. I will inly mention a few things I saw. The [‘aim room was one of grandeur and beauty and in the center was a fount ain with a 25-foot base, with palm drees all around it and large pots of (lowers in bloom scattered among the trees. Everything was just grand. One room was expressly fitted for the amusement of children. Another room for people to rest and to meet their friends, and still another where you can order a meal for yourself and friends and can pay several dollars a plate. We next visited the Masonic temple 22 stories high, with plenty of offices that bring in a fine revenue. We next called at a Chinese restau rant that cost 1125,000; the furniture and fixtures all inlaid with pearl. The most popular dish at present is called •‘chop suey,” a little of everything and then some more mixed together. Some people think it very fine. They know how to prepare and trim the dishes and if you wish it will cost you S5 a plate, but I didn’t have that kind of an appetite. We next called at McVicar's. It was fine. I was next armed with 8 fine lunch and left for my sister's at this place. I find great changes since I left here thirty-three years ago: so many dead. It has either rained or snowed every day since I came, until today. There is considerable doing here in the line of pleasure—somewhere to go all the time. Big funeral this afternoon and tonight one of Billy Sunday’s con verts speaks. Some good property can be bought here for less than cost I am a star boarder now, nothing^ do, plenty to eat, never miss a mea nor pay a cent. Very kindly yours, E. Holcomb.

H. Kittell in Cortez Cobtez. Colo., Dec. 29th. 1910— J. VV. Burleigh, Loup City, Nebr., Dear Sir: “1 ain sending you in this, check for $1 to renew subscription to The Northwestern. Winter com menced here a little over a week ago, but it isn’t like a Nebraska winter. It snows nights and thaws daytimes, and usually there isn’t enough wind to blow the snow off from the trees. If we had windmills here they would be on a strike most of the time. Most of the time one day is so like an other, week in and week out, that it is hard to keep track of the days of the week—Monday is just like Sun day, Tuesday just like Monday, Wed nesday just like Tuesday, and so on, and Saturday just like all the rest of the days of the week, and this week just like last week. There's quite a number of Sherman county people in this valley, but as they are badly scattered I don't see any of them very often, but as far as I know they are all well, and I know they are not grumbliDg about the climate.
