Another's Threats.
Fears need no longer be entertained that
people from the West who desire to visit
the Worlds Columbian Exposition will be
kept away by high railroad rates. Judging
by present indications, Worlds Fair rates
from the West will be as low as any can can
possibly desire. The war lately inaugura-
ted between the Santa Fe and Rio Grande
roads is gradually involving all the West
ern lines. The blow struck by the Rio
Grande on Tuesday in reducing the round
trip from Denver and other Colorado points
to the Missouri River from 500 TO $25 has
caused panicky feeling among the rail-
way officials, and it is expected that If
more provocation is offered rates will 90

when Midget's owner makes his regular
trips the dog accompanies him to the
station, but never attempts to board the
traln-Just stays on the platform. an in

cheerfully as the train moves out. On
other days and other trains-suburban
trains to Parkland or Pewee Valley
he hops aboard without hesitation, evi-
IDENTIFY aware that the ride in prospect is
one that he may share. Midget swears,
too; swears like pirate.
The family understand him, but they
report that his language is too terrible
to be repeated. When things don't 90
to suit him, he retires under a bed or
sofa and lies there rolling off oaths of
fearful description for hours. A young
man who was attentive to Midget's
young mistress unintentionally offended
him, but the dog got even. lie actually

Those who have lived in both sections
admit that. The fruits Of agriculture
are not so great in quantity for the rsa-
son that not nearly sc many persons are
engaged in their production. Aside
from farming. there are in the western
part OF the state. the coal fields. whose
development is assuming definite pro-
portions. There are the cattle. sheep
and horse raising industries. too. There
is a diversity Of Industries needing
naught but development to render them
highly profitable. But the knowledge
that these industries-even if yet rather
embryotic-are here, and can be made
profitable. needs to be sent abroad. The
western part of the state should com.
bine to devise ,ean Of disseminating
knowledge OF its resources. There need
be none of the boom methods resorted
to. No boomers are wanted. Only q

One OF the reasons for the large pros
pective deficiency IN the state treasury
this year, is the fact that owing to the
financial depression, the people are not
paying their taxes with their usual
promptnees. Even in Pembins county.
where the best crop in years was raised
this season. the delinquent tax list was
unusually long, and at the recent sale OF
lands for taxes the state was obliged to
bid them in. Next season, however, the
state may be able to realize on these in.
vestments. and thus replenish the ex.
chequer. The arguments was advanced
when the act was passed cutting down the
penalty and interest on delinquenttaxes,
that the state could borrow money at q
low rate Of interest, and it the state took
the lands for delinquent taxes, it could
afford to relieve the poor delinquents
of the monstrous rates OF interest here
tofore exacted by tax-sharks under
former laws. That theory was all right
provided the state could get the money
but the limiting of the Indebtedness to
100000 and obliging it at the same time
to bid in these delinquent taxes loads
the treasury up with q species of "cate
and dogs Of no benefit to the treasury. II
the farmers and town lot and ''land poor
people want the relief anticipated when
the new "revenue and taxation" act waf
passed they will have to vote to extend
the debt limit of the state, " ,ich is nov
rldiculously low.
