r. F. ROBERTS VIEWS.
He Tells About the Dishonest Chicago
Milk Dealers.

Milk Dealers.
In an article sent to one of the Chi
cago papers, r. F. Roberts, of Wood
worth, has the following to say of dis
honest Chicago milk dealers:
The large losses to which farmers
have been subjected have aroused them
to such degree that they gathered in
public meeting Feb. % to discuss
measures looking to their protection.
One of the questions asked was: How
can the dealer be compelled to pay for
the milk you have trusted him with 2
Dozens of milk shippers can answer the
question instantly. The correct an
swer is, it can't be done. There is no
power in heaven or on earth that can
compel him to pay. He doesn't want
to pay, he doesn't have to pay and he
doesn't pay You have kept on hoping
he would pay you. You have kept on
feeding and milking your COWS; you
have paid Is cents can transporta-
ton, large tax every day on your
wallet; and you have kept on shipping
and trusting until the bitter conclusion
is forced on you that he will not pay
you.
Then you quit shipping to him and
seek out some other dealer and put
your confidence in him. And the deal
er you have quit seeks out some other
lamb of shipper and proceeds to shear
him in the same way he has sheared
you. Among the 1,500 milk dealers OF
Chicago there is but a small per cent.
you can safely trust. Have you suf-
fered enough losses to make you real
ize fully that you cannot trust them 2"
Mr. Peck's Views.
C. E. Peck, vice president of the
Bowman dairy, Chicago, said in rela-
ton to the accusation that Chicago has
many irresponsible dealers ill the milk
trade:
"It is an easy matter for an ire
sponsible man to embark in the milk
business. If he can secure horse and
wagon he usually finds little trouble in
getting milk to sell. have no doubt
that irresponsible persons go into the
business with the intention of honest
dealing, but after awhile there comes
a pinch and on account of insufficient
capital they fail. In this instance the
farmer loses what is due him for milk
since the last collection.
There are others, am aware, that
90 into the milk trade with no intention
of honest dealing. This class is par
ticularly to be avoided by the farmers
1t is only the irresponsible class o.
which the farmers can camplain. Ii
regard to the proportion of irresponsi-
BILE dealers in Chicago [ can make nc
statement. Of one thing | am sure
there are enough responsible firms il
the business to handle all the milk the
farmers can supply. | think it the
farmers duty to ascertain the RESPONSE
bility of the milk dealers to whom they
sell. Any established and reliable firm
will be glad to inform him without fa-
vor, for there is no more dangerous and
despised competitor than the irrespon.
sible dealer He has milk to sell fol
which he does not expect to pay, anC

THE SALE OF THE OTTAWA.
Certain Obstacles i'm the wey-The Title
CIOuded by Biil In Eaui+v

While it is undoubtedly true that the
United States government and the Casoo
Bank have come to an agreement in re-
gard to the sale Of the OTTAWA House. vet
that sale is not perfected. Before the
United States win purchase 1t Will IN
doubtedly require clear title; and it is
said that bill in equity which Francis
Cushing brought in 1894 against the
Cushing's Island Hotel and Transporta-
ton Company, is having an important
bearing on this subject. The District At
torney has had the searching of the title
under his charge, and it seems altogether
probable that he will not recommend the
purchase while the charges in the bill in
equity are pending.
The government has already invested
about $3.50, O)o in Cushing's Island, and
should it take the Ottawa, its investment
in land and buildings would amount to
nearly $40, 000 Thus small portion Of
the island sells for this large sum, while
about 1850 the whole island could ,proba-
bly, have been bought for about So, 600. q
