JuliusHines&Son BALTIMORE, MD. Please Mention This Paper, BATTLING WITH SNOW. Great Railways Are Kept Clear la Winter at Enormous Cost. There are thousands of tnen In the Northwest whose only occupation dur ing the winter months Is to tight snow. It Is exciting work, too, a life that In volves the greatest hardships and con tinual risks. One might search the world over for a more desperate and dangerous employment. The cost of these snow storms to the railroads la something enormous. It is estimated that the two leading lines running west through Minnesota and North Dakota, the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, and the leading road In the northern part of South Dakota, the Chi -ago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, have spent during one season not less than P500.000 In clearing snow from their tracks and In putting up additional fences and guards. Besides their shops become filled with equipments dam aged or ruined in tussles with the hard snow-ice on miles of tracks. In addi tion, other roads, whose mileage is not so great or whose lines arc in parts of the Northwest less ea posed, are said to have spent half an much more In the same time. In all It is believed $1,000,- 500 Is not too high an estimate of the lirect loss, outside of lessened travel, to the roads in the blizzard section tim ing a hard winter. Under favorable circumstances the snow parts readily before the onslaught of the plow, but when the drifts are found too deep or too hard for the plows to handle hundreds of men are set at work, and most of them learn Cor tho first time that shoveling snow s about as hard work as a man can ask. They do not dig the track open but are set off lato little groups a few yards apart, and each group cuts a square hole down into the drift, perhaps cleat through It, perhaps only part of the way down. Then the men are with-, •drawn to a safe distance and the' wedge plow, driven by three or four mogul locomotives, pulling a half dozen heav ily-loaded coal cars to give impetus (o the mass when it strikes the bank of snow. Is sent at full speed Into the liol lowed drift. Often the entrance Is made at a speed of thirty or forty miles an hour, aud usually the drift is con quered. The introduction of the rotary plow has simplified the task of snow lighting more than anything else, especially in the prairie country. It bores Its way into snow-banks, clearing Just enough space to enable the waiting train to pass through. Some of the bigger plows weigh over fifty tons by themselves, and with the machinery that operates them the total weight is over 100 tons, In n number of cases snow fences along the tracks have been blown Into the cuts by winds during the storms and then covered by snow, the whole mass being frozen solidly. Into tills mass rotary plows have been driven, and not being constructed to fool with sections of fencing, they have invaria bly got the worst of It and been disa bled. One disabled machine, starting for the shops for repairs, was behind an engine that had to leave It and run tor water. Twenty minutes after the locomotive had gone the trauk was ho|>elessly blocked, and it took three days to got liack to that rotary plow. At another time at a station In North ern Minnesota the engine of a passen ger train was detached to go to a tank 1,000 feet away. When the water had been taken the engineer found the track blocked that he had eome over five minutes before, and It took him and his fireman just fourteen hours to go back that 1,000 feet to the train waiting at the station. A fearful lillz zard was raging and no man from the station dared go to their relief, while they did not dare trust themselves more than a few feet from their ma chine. At the end of fourteen hours they had shoveled before the engine so as to get back, and they were so badly frost bitten as to be laid up for several days. It Is difficult to realize that the air can be so full of snow as to hide objects only a few fecit away, and that this oh struetlng snow Is so line as not to be distinguishable at the same time. It is hard to understand how a man can lose his way In broad day on his own door step or on the way from his house to his barn, but hundreds have had the experience and scores have died in con sequence.

W nat u Man Can't Do. A man cannot do two things at a time.

The proprietor of Beecham's pills, oi his agent, did a smart thing at Liver pool. Nelson's old flagship, the Foil droyant, broke loose, it will be remem bered, from its bearing in a storm, and drifted on to the shore. The Blackpool agent for Beecham's pills saw a splen did chance, and proceeded to paint on the side of the stranded vessel the in Bcription, "England expects every man to do his duty and take Beecham'i pills." Mr. Cobb, the owner of the Foudroyant, has sued the pnoprletoi of the pills for a trespass and dam &gea, with the result that he has been awarded by a jury 409 against the agent, and £SO against the principal.
