MORE POWER TO STATE.
Federal Supreme Tribunal Says They
Should Decide on Laws.
Washington , D. C. , Dec. 2. AThc
regulation of railroad rates in the
states Is a matter for the state legls
latnrcs and courts. This Is the dic
tum of the United States supreme
court In a decision handed down In
the case of the Virginia railroads
against the state corporation com
mission of Virginia.
When the state fixed a uniform pas
senger rate of two cents a mile foi
passengers the railroads at once
turned to the United States circuit
court and got relief. Judge Prltchard
granted an Injunction against the en
forcement of the two cent rate on the
ground that It was conllscatory.
Now the supreme court reverses
Judge Prltcharel and its decision en
larges the authority of the state
court. It does not make that lowei
court a tribunal of last resort , but
It says the railroads should have had
the lallroads should have appealed
from the commission's order to the
supreme court of Virginia before
seeking the Intervention of the fed
eral courts.
In effect the court directs that
the rallveiad companies take their
case' to the state court of last resort
and that In order to prevent Injus
tices tlnotigh the application of the
statute of limitations the case be
retained on the docket e > f the United
States circuit court , by which It was
originally decided favorably to the
roads.
Hatches 11 Chicks In Pumpkin ,
Alton , 111. , Doc. 1. Nature yesterday
brought an eighth wonder to the door
of James Chossen for fifteen cents.
This time a hen was at the bottom of

teen cents for the pumpkin , and as

conference ith Commissioner Kiel
What the subject of the conference
was , Is not known.

very successfully. A little over $10-
000 has been pledged , with $9,000 still

Predicted the Fire.
"There will be a fire tonight , " said
a Norfolk business man to a friend
Monday evening. "This weather will
put furnaces and flues to a test and
some of them will not stand it. " Sc
when this high school caught fire this
man , who happened to be F. E. Daven
port , said "I told you so. " This is ! n
fact fire weather. The first dash of
cold In the fall and the first appear
ance of zero weather are always fire
days. The colder the weather the
more apt Is the fire whistle to blow
because fires burn more briskly in
stove and furnace.

Hunting Is Over.
Hunting Is over. And a great quail
season It has been around Norfolk.
Not for years has the hunting been so
good or has quail appeared so many
times on Norfolk tables. The weather ,
delightful for November , iavored
large hunting parties. Many were out
Sunday. Monday though the last day
of grace for the hunter saw few afield
in this section on account of the cold
wave. The quail has now nothing to
fear but the winter. The protection of
the law Is also extended to prairie
I chicken. There has been some dls-
1 puto among Norfolk hunters as to
when the open season on chickens
ended. The season opened September
15 and closed Monday night , at the
same time that the mantle of the law's
protection fell over the quail. Quail
were plentiful this year on account of
I last winter. Norfolk hunters say that
I it Is not hunting or cold weather that
thins out the quail but the wet and
damp weather followed by cold. Wet
snow or rain turning to snow kills
many birds. Hunters out Monday say
that chickens are moving down from
the west on account of the cold wea
ther.

It's Water Helps Long Pine.
Long Pine , Nob. . Dec. 2. From a
staff correspondent : Six engine
stalls are soon to be added to the
round house at Long Pine , a division
point on the Black Hills line of the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad ,
which will Increase the stallage ca
pacity to eighteen. This addition will
be made because of the increasing
freight traffic on the Black Hills line.
It will also mean more engine and
freight crews , who will make their
homes at Long Pino.
It was the remarkable pure water
at Long Pine which led to Its being
made a Northwestern division point ,
Long Pine water is 99.91 per cent
pure , according to the state analyslst ,
This exceeds distilled water In
purity. And the water is as soft
as It is pure. Soap will no more cur
dle in it than in rain water.
Both the town's and railroad's
water supply comes from the "seven
springs , " which gush out an abund
ance of water sufficient to supply
two cities the size of Omaha. Ninety-
nine and nine-tenths per cent of this
is wasted not entirely wasted for It
flows Into and makes Pine creek ,
which latter turns water wheels and
grinds grain at mills between Pine
creek and the NIobrara river.
Pine creek , clear and swift , is in
a deep depression with prcclplttout-
banks called Pine Creek gulch , locally
known as the "canyon. " It is from
three to five hundred feet wide anel
is as picturesque as Black Hills 01
Rocky Mountain gulches. Where the
Northwestern bridge crosses the can
yon it is ninety feet to the lowest
( point. Pines , evergreens and oake
rich in coloring , add to the canyon's
plcturesqueness. Above the "seven
springs" the creek Is a rivulet. Be
low It is a rushing stream in which
trout abound.
According to geologists the watoi
from the seven springs conies from
the far distant mountain girdled lakes
of Wyoming. It is snow water , fil
tered through the sand , which ac
counts for Its softness and purity.
On the entire Northwestern "ail-
road system there is no water com
parable for engine use with that ol
Long Pine. The flues of locomotive
boilers using Long Pine water do not
scale , which is something unheard ol
with other locomotives along the
Northwestern lino. Engines make
numerous runs before they are even
washed out Their flues never have
to ho scraped
Recently a stationary holler ,
which had been In use for eighteen
years at the Northwestern pumping
station at I ng Pine , was dismantled ,
The lines were as clean as the day
they were put in. Marvin Hughltt ,

'Concerning the choice of school

News of Tuesday bald :
Saturudy a party of men represent
ing the state made a trip Into Trlpp
county to select school lands which ,
*
under the act opening Trlpp county
for settlement , were set aside for
school purposes. In addition to the
open sections of 1C and 3G In each
township unallotted the state has yet
to choose fourteen sections. They
were hero In October , 1907 , and visit
ed all parts of Trlpp county , and at
that time the allotments were not all
made but some selections were noted.
The lands they viewed on this trip ,
and which likely will be among their
choice , are as follows : Section 31-98-
74 ; 25-98-75 ; 35-98-70 ; , all lands near

Interior Secretary to Decide.
Gregory , S. D. , Dec. 2. From a
staff correspondent : Judge Wltton
will not announce anything definite
regarding the townsltes that ho may
choose in Tripp cemnty until he has
gone over the matter with the secre
tary of the interior at Washington. It
will be the latter official , guided by
Judge Wilton's recommendations , who
will pronounce the final verdict and
decide more or less the fate of Lam
ro and Winona.
The weather on the Ro.ionud the
first of the week has been most ob
streperous. In Dallas the locators'
signs and billboards wore severely
punished by the wind and all busi
ness was more or less at a standstill.
Parties headed for Lamro Monday
had to lay over in Gregory and Dal
las to await the oiiel of the storm.
Trains got through on schedule time ,
after the snow plow had broken the
way.

A kernel of corn swallowed by the
little five-year-old son of Joe Connet
of Baker , an Inland town north of
Spencer , resulted In the boy's death.
The boy was playing about a corn
crib and swallowed a kernel of corn
which lodged In his wind pipe. The
boy was taken to Lynch and an X-ray
used to locate the corn. An operation
being necessary the boy was taken
through Norfolk to Omaha , where ho
arrived too late , dying soon after the
hospital was reached. The remains
were brought back through Norfolk to
Bakor.
