ARMoURs HAVE THE BEST OF |,


Albany, n. Y, Dec. 27.-The State
department of Agriculture, attorney
generals office, and the special counsel
engaged in prosecuting the Armours,
of Chicago, for damages amounting to
$1,T00,OO0 for the violation of the
dairy laws in the distribution of oleo-
margarine throughout this state find
themselves in predicament that
seems to foreshadow failure of con-
viction. When the recent court order
was promulgated giving the state
counsel right 10 examine the books of
the various railroads for evidence as
to shipment. 1t was believed the con-
viction of the Armours would be
easily accomplished. 1t was found,
however, that the same court order
refuses the state change of venue and
compels the commissioners of agri-
sculture and the state counsel to pros
ecute the suits. of which there are a
score. in the counties in which the vio-
lation of ii is said to have occurred.
This would mean endless litigation
without much prospect of a result.
Some time ago the Armour people
sought to make an agreement with
the state authorities, whereby. if the
suits were dropped, they would agree
to pay certain amount and promise
not 10 deliver any more unmarked
oleomargerene in the state. The pro-
position has been submitted to the
governor and while he believes the
prosecution should go on If there is
any chance to convict, as a lawyer, he
is inclined to acceptance of the propO-
sition. 1t will be in the end more ad-
ysntageous to the state.

BUSINESS END OF POETRY.

The poet wrote some classic verse
OF lofty thought and feeling:
His language was both clear ant
terse-
Poetic power revealing.
He sent il to a magazine
For pay and publications;
Alas. the disappointment keen
II met with declination,
He sentit here. he sent it there.
But soon it was returning.
While the poor poet. in despair.
For recompense was yearning.
The editors refused to heed
The beauties of his verses.
And seemingly. they'd all agreed
To open not their purses.
The bard at last conceived n plan,
And in it did not falter;
The verses he began to scan.
The final one 70 alter.
And in the rhymes, with that last hope
Which often moves some scholars
He introduced a brand of soap
And made his $50!

A Joint Meeting to Secure a
Road Through Meroed

Congressman de Vries Will Confer
With State Officials on
Federal Questions.

A committee from the Yosemite Com
the Commission on Highways yesterday,
and discussed ways and means of build
ing a good road 10 the Yosemite.
There will be another m citing to-day, at
which Congressman de Vries will be pres
ent. 1t was the sense OF the meeting ves-
terday that the State ought to meet the
Government half way on the pr position
of road to the Yosemite and that there
shou be no attempt 10 buy the old toll
roads.
The meeting was in accordance with a
resolution passed some months ago. and
the following mem bers participated: From
the Yosemite mission-Messrs. FC ote,
Clinck, Ovens; from the Highway Com
missiOn-Messrs. Manson, Ash, Price.
From the informal discuss on yesterday
it appeared that all mem bers of the com
mittee agreed with Congressman de Vries
holding that the most feasi bic route is up
the Merced Canyon. They will join with
the Congress man in a recon mt ndation to
that end. 1t is probable that the State
and the National Government the other
