Pillsbury q short time ago. It will be.
rememb bered that G. A. was member
of the Minnesota state senate when Sa-

THE TABLES WERE TURNED.

And the Traveller Decided to Use Up, His
Mile Book.
While MIR. F. W. Huntington, the Mani
toba passenger agent, was in st. Paul, a
man entered his Office one day and threw on
the desk mileage book which originally had
contained 1900 mile coupons and had been
sold for $40.
II want to be allowed cash for the balance
of this book, remarked the traveller.
Now formerly it was the custom of some
railroads to allow for balances of mileage
books cash at the rate Of purchase, two cents
mile. Mr.. Huntington, however, was not
sure that the new law made provision for
such cases.
He looked it up and found that in giving
credit for returned mileage the "local rate''
must be charged for the coupons which had
been used. The local rate of his road was
three cents mile.
"How much have you usedY' he inquired
OF the stranger.
Fifteen hundred miles," was the reply.
The suave lightning calculator remarked
in mild whisper: "Three, fifteen, forty
fiveI' and added in convincing tones: 'Sir,
you owe me IS and the book"
1t is needless to say that the stranger trav-
eled the rest of his mileage ON the Manitoba
road.-New York Tribune.

The time to dphOrn CATTLE ia hnfO,

The time to dehorn cattle is before
the horns grow, and a good many
breeders OF pure bred cattle are de-
horning their calves, especially the
the bulls. Mr.. W. F. Wilcox OF Ben
son, Mimi, has a number of young
Holstein-Friesian calves, that had
been dehorned as an experiment, and
and he will be able to supply buyers
with young herd of these popular
dairy cattle as clear of horns as the
polled breeds. The same experiment
is being tried by a breeder of Holstein-
Friesians in Denver, and it is thought
that by dehorning several success sive
generations, a race OF polled cattle
will result, with all the good qualities
OF the breed as it now exists.

The attention of Mr.. Pillsbury and
all others interested, is called to
the letter of Mr.. Forcier, in another
column. Here it is stated that two
large elevators at Stewart, one OF
which belongs to Mr.. Pillsbury, pay
to tie owner of smaller warehouse
$3.50 a year to keep this smaller
house closed! AS this is nearly 30
per cent on the cost it is a matter
which should be investigated by the
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion. This is one of the means OF re-
ducing profits which Mr.. Pillsbury
did not mention. Is Repr. Sumner
interested in either of these two ele-
vators-or has he been knowing to
this condition of things? Will any
one conversant with the facts kindly
let us know about the matter. 9th
er stations are also requested to
throw light on their local ware
houses. We want more light from
Pope County too. Turn on the

Scott County Argus:
Railroad commissioners Gibbs and
Williams were in the city Tuesday,
and after hearing what those citizens
present had to say, coolly said that
they would lay the matter befbre
the railroads interested, but the lat
ter would not pay any attention to
what the commissioners had to say.
The commissioners told the truth
that time, for the railroads do not
pay the slightest attention to the
demands of the commission, which is
nothing but huge burlesque ana a
farce travelling about the state at the
peoples expense.

success in the furtherance OF his GU

Brownsville News:

Brownsville News:
The editor of the "GREAT VEST
apparently has proven that the far
mers of the northwest have all along
been robbed of 20 cents a bushel on
their wheat. Mr.. Pillsbury, the
great wheat manipulation OF Minnea-
polls, attempted to make the editor
out a liar, and claims the shipper OF
wheat to English markets never has
more than cents profit and often
none. But the editor summarizes
things, and after allowing for expen-
ses which Mr.. Pillsbury claims the
shipper is entitled to, but which the ed
tor says is more, in some instances,
is actually the case, clearly shows a
profit of 20 cents abushel, not
considering the bookings, the mixing
of grades, the freight steals, ETC., etc. .
Somebody is surely making big
money at the expense of the farmer.
And when one considers the pom
posity and high Loneliness (good
words, if not correct) of the elevator
kings and of the big millers of the
country, it is not so very hard to
surmise who is making the money.

Sibley Co. Independent:

While we have not taken much
stock in the GREAT WEST or it's editor
thus far, we cannot fail to notice that
it's position on the wheat question
comes near to being the correct one.
1t shows that wheat in Liverpool is
worth nearly double what it is in
this state. and then, by taking the
price OF wheat at Crookston and add
ing thereto all freight and other
charges to Liverpool, it finds that
there is a loss to the farmer OF at
least 20 cents a bushel. Who gets
this 20 cents, the paper doesn't say,
but it don't take much to see that it
goes into the pockets OF those who
have the handling OF the grain from
the time it leaves the farmers hands
until i reaches the Liverpool MARI
ket-where else could it go? Ii the
figures of the GREAT WEST are cor
rect, and there can be no question
that they are as they are taken from
reliable authorities, then the price of
wheat in Liverpool does not fix the
price OF wheat in this state and con-
firms lis in our belief that the grain
dealers and brokers in our great
wheat centers regulate the price of
that cereal to suit themselves. The
GREAT WEST is on the right track
and if it will only keep it up some
thing else besides the price OF wheat
will be liable to "drop' some OF
these fine days.
We have shed a great many hard
boiled tears over this editor, but it.

The Sub-treaury plan is a plan to
benefit the wealth-producers of our
country. Should not a common
wealth protect and help the man who
sustains it? Do national bankers
add anything to the wealth of the
country, or are they only helps to
distribute the wealth after it is pro-
duced? Ii their money adds to the
wealth OF the country, by furnishing
means for increasing production and
development, would not Govern
ment loans direct to the people do
the same thing? If the banks help
farmers develop and produce, with
interest at from 8 to 20 per cent,
would not Government loan at a low
er rate add more to the wealth OF

This herd returns from the round

honors, having beaten the entire
northwest in the standing at the
pail. One month ago this herd start

days at the great Minnesota state
fair. There in the ring for dairy
breeds, with five states competing
and six different breeds, being the
largest ring ever led out at a state
fair ground, as all known dairy
breeds were represented, Secretary OF
Agriculture, Jerry Rusk himself,
picked out the herd and best cow
giving this herd the grand $500

was the finest Hostein he had ever

grand sweepstakes ring for bulls was
nearly as large as at St. Paul. The
young Jewels bull, "Jewel's Prince

contested ring. Old Jewel won the
best prize and his progeny won eight
other Individual prizes.
