BILE for shippers to do business without
the aid of commission men. Fruit and
vegeta bles are periShabe and must of
necessity find a ready market. This is
especially so in the winter. The attempts
OF shippers to send large quantities OF
fruit, etc, to the Eastern markets have
always proven disastrous because of the
advantage-the absolute control-which
the commission men have in the market
Their interests are iden teal, and like all
other monopOlies they combine together
when danger threatens them. Any large
shipment OF products to Chicago, iOr in
stance. which is not con psigDed to the COM
mission houses. is brought to their atten-
tion long before it reaches its destination.
And what is the consequence? Simply
that the commission men glut the market
which from their com bined vast resources
they are readily able to d0-and when the
shipment referred TO reaches its terminal
point it finds no demand, and from its
perishable nature is disposed of at what
ever figure can be obtained.
1t Is the contention Of the gentlemen
who are moving in the premises that il is
not necessary t6 ship goods 10 Chicago

will OF Emma l.. Cowie, deceased.
1t will be remembered that Mrs. Cowie.

came into prominence some years ago
through the alleged imperson alton of her

Cowie died in the early part of the present

over 100000 Her estate was divided
among relatives to the exclusion of her
father. William Dick, who was divorced
some time ago from the testatrix's mother.

William Dick contests the will on the
ground that his daughter was of unsound
mind when she executed the document.
and that undue influence was brought to
bear upon the testatrix by her mother.
He claims that Mrs. Dick traduced him to
his daughter, accusing him of pr, fligacy
and drunkenness. In addition Mr. Dick
asserts that his divorced wife promised
