WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1910.
Snow Shoe and vicinity is to have
a newspaper, The Snow Shoe Times
comes to its readers, with this issue,
for the first time. We hope, by the
gupport of the enterprising aitizéns of
Snow Shoe and Snow Shoe Townghip,
to become a weekly vigitor to every
home in this vicinity and many homes
elsewhere. Our aim will be to pro-
duce a neat, clean and interesting
newspaper devoted to the interests of
Snow Shoe and Snow Shoe Township.
It will be our constnt endeavor to be
fair and reasonable in all matters per-
taining to the publication of The
Times, and trust that our patrons will
be equally fair with us. Any assist:
ance that can be cheerfully given us,
by any of our friends, will be thank-
fully received and, greatly appreciated.
On the other hand, if we know of any
who make it their business to be con-
tinually putting “stumbling blocks” in
the way of any new enterprise, we will
surely remember them. In politics,
we shall try to remain neutral; but,
let it be understood, that in case we
see fit to enter that field, we will, in
all cases endeavor to take the side of
the masses and not the classes; and if
we. should especially favor any one, it
will be the producer and consumer, Or
in other words, the one who most
needs our support; but in this, as in
—
and reasonable, In religion, we hope
to have the same spirit of fairness,
and that no narrow-mindedness Or
prejudice will at any time prompt us
to utter anything not in accord with
the principles of Christianity; and
with the words of Lincoln, “With mal-
ice toward none, with charity for all,
with firmness in the right as God
gives us to see the right, we hope to
push forward. Any aid we can rea
sonably give to the cause of Christi-
anity, as we understand it, will be
happily given.
We want tg make The Times a-suc-
cess and can only do so: by the co-
gperation and support of every citizen.
We earnestly solicit the patronage of
all business hous®s and professional
men—it is only from such sources
that we can exist—and we will make
every effort in our power to work mu-
tually together.
Our job office is equipped to do al-
most a'l kinds of commercial printing
and do it right. , Give us a trial order
and be convinced. Do not be afraid,
because we are small, that our work
will not come up to the standard. We
will guarantee our work to meet all
the requirements for which the job is
intended, or ask nothing for our time
and trouble. Let us know your
wants and if it is a job we are not
prepared to do, will promptly let you
know and, perhaps, could suggest a
place to have it done. We cannot
see why a weekly paper for Snow
Shoe and vicinity would not be a boon
to the town and township. Therefore,
we make the effort to establish it and
then it is up to you. :
: THE EDITOR.
Today is the anniversary of the
great naval battle between the Moni-
tor and the Merrimac. Forty-ight
years have gone by since that memor-
able affair. All students of history,
as well as those who lived : during
those troublesome times, will remnem-
ber what a great sensation was caus-j
ed by that engagement—tae who!
The Snow Shoe
Times comes before the public on the
anniversary of that stunning affair,
and might be compared with the little
Monitor in many ways. It was once
thought that the name Monitor might
Le given to this paper, but other things
considered, it received the name Snow
pear until changed. ;
The Times, like the Monitor, is
small, is well protected with armor
plate, can hit hard if cornered, may
+
about as unéxpectedly. We are also
capable of becoming a “doughty little
antagonist” when the occasion requir
es. / in fact, we want to be a “man-of-
yar,” but avoid all scraps as far as
lieth in us,
The weather is apparently making a
change towards spring. This winter
has truly been a remarkable one. The
writer cannot remember when we had
such fine winter weather and even the
tion of such a record of ice and snow.
For eleyen weeks we have had sled
ing, and at no time did the thermome-
ter register more than eight degrees
below zero, in this locality, and yet
has kept below the freezing point al-
most all the time. We take this as a
sign ‘that we will have a good summer
and that 1910 will be a prosperous
year: thrguehout.

Mrs. W. T. Leathers.

ick, of Jacksonville. ;
D. M. Wolf.
The news of the death of Professor
D. M. Wolf was a shock to this com-
munity as well as other parts of the
county. Mr. Wpif's kind and gentle
disposition had won the hearts of
many friends and his death will be
mourned by many. During his term
as County Superintendent, he endeared
himself to the people of this region
and later on, to the students that at-
tended his school at Spring Mills.
Pneumonia was the disease that caus-
ed his death. He was ill only about
one week. He died shortly after 4
o'clock on the morning of February
28 at the residence of J. Welis Evans,
where he had made his home for al-
mest 50 years.
According to F. Edward Hulme in
“The Flags of the World, Their His-

their foes. The star within the moon

of Richard I., John and Henry IIL of

HERE is not so very much difference in the intelligence of
people after all. possi
The great man is not so great as folks think, and the dull
man is not quite so stupid as he seems. :
~The difference in our estimates of men lies in the fact
that one man is able to get his goods into the show win-
‘dow for goods. fine
“The soul knows all things, and knowledge is only a re-
: ‘membering,”’ says Emerson. This seems a very broad state-
ment, yet the fact remains that the vast majority of men know a thousand
times as much ag they are aware of.
In the silefit depths of sub-consciousness lie myriads of truths, each
awaiting the time when if owner shall call it forth.
a RAR these : stored ip thoughts you must express them to others;
and to €XDresy them we Your soul has to soar into this sub-conscious realm
where you have cached these net results of experience.
Thé great painter forgets all in the presence or nis canvas; the writer is
oblivious to his surroundings; the Singer floats away on the wings of melody,
and carries the audienc wih her; the orator pours out his soul for an hour,
Ahd it seems to him as if Darely five minutes had passed, so wrapped and
lost is he in his exalted theme.
~ When you reach the heights of sublimity, and are expressing your highest
and fh Fou aré IM 4 partial trance condition. And all men who enter this
condition surprise themselves by the quantity of knowledge and the extent of
the insight They possess. And some, going a little deeper into this trance cot:
dition than others, knowing nothing of the miraculous storing up of truth In
cells of sub-consciousness, jump to the conclusion that their intelligence is be-
ing guided by a spirit not their own. When an individual reaches this coen-
clusion he begins to wither at the top, for he relies on the dead, and ceases
to feed the well-springs of his sub-conscious self. :
The mind is a dual affair—objeciivé and subjéctive. The objective mind
sees all, hears all, reasons things out. The subjective mind stores up and
only gives cut when the objective mind sleeps. And as few mén ever culti-
vate the absorbed, reflective or semi-trance state, where the objective mind
rests, they never really call on their sub-conscious treasury for its stores. They
are always self-conscious.
But what think you is necessary before a persen ccmes into possession of
his sub-conscicus treasures? Well, I'll tell you: It is not ease, nor prosperity,
nor requited love, nor worldIn€ecurity.
“You sing well,” said the master, impatiently, to his best pupil, “but you
will never sing divinely until you have given your all for love, and then been
neglected and rejected, and scorned and beaten, and left for dead. Then, if you
do not exactly die, you will come back, and when the world hears your voice
it will mistake vou for an angel and fall at your feet.” >
And the moral is, that as long as you are satisfied and comfortable, you
use only the objective mind and live in the world of sense. But let love be
torn from your grasp and flee as a shadow—living only as a memory in a
haunting sense of loss; let death come and the sky shut down over less worth
in the world; or stupid misunderstanding. and crushing defeat grind you into
the dust—then you may arise, forgetting time and space and self, and take re-
fuge in mansions not made with hands, and find a certain sad, sweet comfort
in the contemplation of treasures stored up where moth and rust do not cor-
rupt, and where thieves do not break through and steal. » 2
And thus looking out into the Eternal, you forget the present and enter in-
to the Land of Sub-Consciousness, where yét dwell the gods of ancient and in-
nocent days.—New York American.

Being a Good Neighbor
Being a Good Neighbor
NL
By Giselle D’Unger .

a HE spirit of neighborliness is being manifested even by cor-
. porations. The International Harvester Company is one of
the large corporations whose endeavor to put that spirit into
action is particularly worthy of notice. It is by no means
the only organization of the kind that is carrying on what is
commonly called “welfare” work, but it has its efforts in
this direction well systematized and is constantly seeking
to embody in its own operation practical and helpful ideas
gathered from other sources. The International Harvester
Company, representing, as it does, $120,000,000 of capital, which dispensed, in
one year, $21,763,307.95 in pay-roll wages alone, and $16,783,000 in sales com-
missions, has a large field in which to “exercise the virtue of “being a good
neighbor” to its twenty-eight thousand employes. Mr. Cyrus H. McCormick
has stated that “the employer who wants the people employed in his business
to work under the very best possible conditions as to hours, wages and sur-
roundings, and who feels happier when he knows this state of things is at-
tained; the employe who takes satisfaction in his work, because of the im-
proved environment and because he knows that, in providing it, the employer
has no ax to grind—these two men can not, in the nature of things, remain at
loggerheads, and, in their co-operation there can be no question but that the
utmost advantage comes to both.”—The World To-Day.

Q M arriage and the Birth Rate 9
By Lurana W. Sheldon
Jl .
RS. Margaret Deland is quoted as saying that ‘the coliege
girl of the present talks about marriage and the birth rate
in a way to make her mother blush,” and you say editorially
some problem.”
May I ask if, because her mother could not possibly
appreciate her intelligent understanding of both matters
named, the college girl must forever remain silent? Is she
- mee to be SO considerate of her mother’s and grandmother’s opin-
ions that site must cease to hold opinions of her own and so walk out of step
in the “line of progress” in which you frankly admit she is? Furthermore,
would it not have been to the credit of some of these mothers if they had
blushed ore and been a little less ignorant—or possibly had a few less chil-
dren? And why should the college girl of the present be found “a trouble-
some problem?” Is she not demonstrating her entire fitness to take care
of herself and so ridding men—or some man—of this especial burden?
Certainly “marriage and the birth rate” are important matters for the
college girl or any other girl to consider, and the fact that she calls a
spade a spade only proves her earnestness and sincerity. Fortunately the
habit of blushing over important topics of conversation is dying out among
women, but the least advanced college girls of today would turn as red as
roses if asked to marry and bear children as thoughtlessly as did their
mothers. '

Everett, Wash.—Sweeping down the
steep mountain side on the west slope
of the Cascades, an avalanche of snow
overwhelmed two Great Northern
trains, three locomotives, four huge
electric motor engines and brought
death to more than a score of persons,
according to meager reports that have
drifted in from Wellington, a station
near the disaster. :
Most of the dead are believed to
have been passengers on an express
train bound from Spokane to Seattle
and which had been stalled in the
mountains several days.
The passengers were asleep when
the slide came. The other train was
a transcontinental fast
carried no passengers.
Twenty bodies were recovered and
20 injured were rescued. Some 25
are missing.
The avalanche swept down the
mountain side just before sunrise. It
was half a mile long. The cars and
locomotives were buried deep and it
was six hours before rescuers could
reach them. .
Reports say the Great Northern
powerhouse, which furnishes electric
power to operate trains through the
Cascade tunnel and the station and
water tank were swept away by the
avalanche. The railroad boarding
house was wrecked. A number of the
dead and injured are railroad men
and residents of Wellington.
Everett, Wash.—Latest estimates
place the number of persons killed by
the avalanche that crushed two Great
Northern passenger trains at Welling:
ton at 40. While only 23 persons are
known to be dead nearly a score are
thought to be buried in the wreckage
Communication with Wellington is
maintained only by men on snow-
shoes. Twelve bodies had been re-
moved from the 150-foot gorge into
which the snowslide swept the train.
Bunkhouse Is Hospital.
The railroad bunkhouse at Welling-
ton has been transformed into a hos-
pital and 10 injured are being cared
for there. Superintendent O’Neill of
the Great Northern made his way to
the wreck at the head of a party of
doctors and hurses. The treacherous
trip down the precipice was made on
snowshoes.
The nearest telegraph station,
Scenic Hot Springs, is three miles be
low Wellington, down a precipitous
grade that is covered with a deep
blanket of snow that may slide down
the mountain at any moment,
The Wellington telegraph operator
arrived at Scenic Hot Springs today,
almost insane from the scenes he had
witnessed.
The railroad - company is making
strenuous efforts to reach Wellington
from “both sides of the mountain
range. Relief trains have been dis:
patched from Everett with supplies
and a wrecking crew. The road is
blocked in several paces by smaller
glides and the high temperature leads
to the fear that more may occur to
impede the relief work.
