thinks the best solution of the prob,em -
LOT the alliances Of the state to store +ho
surplus corn until better prices are offered
ana arrange for the farmers to draw ~
borrow money upon it. Secretary Moh,o,
says:

Kansas at II cents a bushel wonld ba oood
security for hat amount per bushel. aud
that amount could be borrowed by anv

Ihe security is good, because corn is
morally certain to be worth IS cents per

and If fed to stock 25 cents or more ne,
pushel would be realized. Mr.. Noble,
gives 1t as his opinion that if the entire re-
auction in rates which was recently granted

The Louisiana Lottery Did Not Try to Get
ii Charter in North Dakota.
Concerning the reported efforts of the
Louisiana Lottery company to obtain anew
charter i'll Dakota, Gen. Jubal A. Early. Il
Joint commissioner of the drawings OF that
institution with Gen. Beauregard, makes
a public statement in which lie says the
Louisiana Lottery company had nothing to
do with the proposition reported TO have
been made in the North Dakota legislature,
nor had the company any connection with
the proposition. Gen. Early also pro-
nounces as u%nfounded the statement that
the company proposes to procure a renewal
of its charter by bribing the Legislature of
Louisiana. The constitution of the state,
the general say 8, prohibits the charter Of
any lottery after the expiration of that Of

ON ACCOUNT OF THE GRIP.
The Lenten Fast Abolished by the Roma
Church for This Year.

The Lenten Fast Abolished by the Roman
Church for This Year.
The Western Wutchm0n, a prominent
Catholic weekly journal of St. Louis,
prints a letter from it's Roman correspond
ent, in which he says that the congregation
of the Universal Inquisltion has issued a
decree signed by Cardinal Monaco and
published in the Official organ Of the Vati-
an, abolishlng the Lenten fast and abb
stinence of this year. This is extended to
the whole world, the letter says, where
ever the ordinaries shall judge the dispen-
sation necessary. The reason for setting
aside the Lenten obligation, it is claimed,
is the prevailing influenza, which is making
such ravages in all parts of Europe and is
thought to be prevalent in the United
States. This decree, it is said, will be
quite a surprise to Roman Catholics, as it
is stated to be the first one Of the kind
ever issued in the history of the church.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.


Senator Paddock's Proposed Amendment
to the Law.
Senator Paddock has introduced in the
senate a bill to amend the interstate COM
MERGE act. The amendment is intended to
provide relief for farmers of the west who
are unable at present to market their crops
on account of the high freight rates pre-
vailing On the long haul, and which the
railroads claim cannot be reduced without
demoralizing all short haul rates under the
interstate act. The bill provides that
the long and short haul clause
be amended so that in case
of an investigation for infraction
that the second commission be obliged to
consider the cost of transportation and the
facts and circumstances bearing upon the
market value of the produce, and if it ap-
pears the product is one Of the necessaries
of life, and upon it a justly lower rate is
indispensable in order to enable such pro-
duct to be transported to market, such
transportation rate, SO far as the long haul
clause is concerned, shall be considered an
exception to the general rule. The
amendment also provides that the long
haul for such product, within the meaning
of the amendment, shall be 500 miles or
more by the route over which the freight
is actually transported.

A Big Undertaking ut tho Other End Of

A Big Undertaking ut the Other End of
the Pacific Short Line.
Plans and specifications are completed
for the construction of an immense power
dam in Ogden canon. Utah, which will be-
sixty feet high and built of solid masonry,
raising the entire river to that height. 1t
Will be used for the purpose Of generating
power for manufactures. The dam will
cost when completed $780, 600. The dam
is being built by G. E. Mayne, of Omaha
real estate fame, and San Francisco capi-
tai is backing it. The same corporation
will also build the biggest wooden mill in
the west at Ogden and have purchased the.
ground near the power dam for its loca-
ton. Considerable interest has been cre-
ated by the discovery of q very fine clayton
fine pressed brick, drainage thing and
c%rockery. The clay was found within
the city limits and was quietly bought up
by o syndicate. 1t is announced that a
company with $780, ono has been formed
and will at once proceed to put in a plant
for the manufacture of all kinds of drainage
thing, crockerv and fine brick. In view of
the fact that the Ogden city council re-
Gently made appropriations for a complete
system of sewerage, this discovery is re-
garded as opportune, as it saves an inn
mense freight bill. The promoters say.
they will start up with contracts for ten
million pressed brick from Ogden con-
tractors and forever put IN end to the ship
ment of st. Louis and Golden pressed
brick to Utah.
