tion, together with our cheaper ore and
fuel, Will put us on equal footing. We can
sell our metal in any port on the Atlantic
or any of its rivers. Yesl right in Balti-
more, to the neighbor oil the Sparrow's Point
mills.
Free navigation will redeem the oil busi-
ness. Tank steamers will load crude Or re-
fined oil right in the heart of the oil coun-
try, the independent oil producer will have
as good and as cheap an outlet as any COM
petitor, and the Standard Oil Monopoly,
which exists by virtue of its control of the
pipe lines, will become legitimate business
enterprise, competing on even terms.
Let us see how the grain trade would be
affected. The cost OF transferring grain
from the farmer in Kansas or Nebraska to
the consumer in the East, or putting it afoat
in New York, is from 20 to 80 cents per
bushel. The development of our water
routes would save freight and elevator
charges to an average amount of Is cents per
bushel. This gain, or half this gain, means
the gain OF independence to the Western
farmer.
There is yet another aspect to the ques-
ton. AT this moment corn is 60 cents in
Plttsburg, 60 cents in New York, 80 cents
In St. Louis, and probably 30 cents in Kan
sas. Coal is worth cents 5ushel in Pitts
burg, 20 cents in New York, and 40 cents in
Kansas. 1t would seem that Pittsburg
coal and Kansas corn would be exchanged.
No! TRANSFORMATION rates forbid!

The main object of these papers has been
to make clear to the people of the Mlssis-
sppi Valley that their interests are one;
that what will benefit the people OF the
extreme neadwaters of the tributaries Will
also benefit the dwellers of the bottom lands;
that the measure desirable to add to the
wealth Of the one section are necessary to
preserve the lives and property of the
other. Although these people are separated
by vast distances; live in different climates;
follow different pursuits; their interests are
united.
Owing to the labor necessary to prepare
these papers and also to give time for con-
sideration of what has been printed the
publication of the next papers will be de-
ferred for some weeks. Later it will be
shown that the interests OF the Pacific States
are closely linked to those of the people OF
the Mississippi Valley and that the i'm
provement of the waterways of the Missis-
sippi Valley is necessary part of the Pan
American plan of building up the COM
mercial intercourse of the republics of this
continent.
1t will also be shown that in the arid re-
gfons of the West, irrigation and naviga-
tion must go hand in hand; that the same
measures will provide the water necessary
to grow the crops and the means to give
them carriage when they are harvested. In
this connection, also, they will give an an

Valley, and show the moderating effect upon

The people of the United States can do
one of two things:-they can improve their
waterways at cost of SIS, 900 per mile; or
they can buy the railroads at q cost Of $50, :
600 per mile.
They must do one thing or the other, and
that very soon.
They can improve their waterways and
provide transportation routes ample for the
traffic of all times; or they can buy the rail-
roads, extend them and increase them yearly
and let the next generation improve the
waterways as the only adequate relief.
To improve the waterways will not mater
tally add to the duties of employees OF the
Government, complicate its organization or
so extend its functions as to increase its
interference with the citizen. To buy the
railroads would so load the Government
with duties, complicate its organization and
increase the number of its employees that the
machine could hardly be made to run; while
the relations of the Government to the daily
life and business of the people would be so
close-the individual wonld be touched so
nearly and so constantly that change OF

4 Navajo Killed b, a Cowboy.

An Albuquerque dispatch of the 9th, to the San Francisco Chronicle says News has just been received of killing at Wingate station, near the Navajo reservation, yesterday afternoon. Sev- eral cowboys and Navajo Indians got into bitter dispute over some trifing affair, and one of the cowboys, notic- ing suspicious move by an Indian. pulled his revolver and shot the latter dead, The cowboys mounted their horses and rode of at full gallop.
 Adyices from Coolidge, few miles away, are to the effect that the Indians are considerably worked up over the killing, and that band of them Is now pursuing the murderer and his com panions. Should the parties meet 8 deadly encounter will result, for the Navaios left with the intention of ayen- ging the murder.
