STEEL RAIL POOL.

Public qualification in the rupture of the
steel ralt pool which was announced at
Pittsburg on Wednesday will be increased
by the reports of the causes which led 10
it. These make it evident that the COL
lapse is due not to loss of business. but
to an increased demand so active and
promising that the various organizations
belonging 10 the pool see their way to n
better business separately than in conf hi.
nation.
1t Is stated on what seems to be good an
thority that just after representatives. of
the various mills in the pool had agreed
upon rates governing business in partic-
ular section of the country, some LARGE
contracts came into the market and sew
eral OF the concerns interested were offered
profitable business at lower rates than
those fixed by the pool. The temptation.
it seems, was too strong TO be resisted and
the contracts were taken, with the result
that the pool went TO pieces.
Rumor has it that the prices fixed by the
pool were on basis of $40 ton for GER
tain quality of rails, anc that the concerns
on basis of $17. This reduction means
o NOhoiAcioc ddNdHLdRt 10 tue pur-
chasers of steel rails, and even if prices
through competition should go no lower,
there will be benefit to railroad builders
and to all districts of the country where
new railroads are needed.
The notable feature in the situation is
the fact that such large orders for steel
rails are in the market. This confirms
the frequent reports of a renewed activity
in railroad building and seems to give an
assurance that the depression in that in
dustry is about over. IL is reported
that single milling company in Illinois
has recently taken orders for the delivery
of $4,000 tons of steel rails during the
present year. It is also said that large
orders have been placed by the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe road for use in I'M
proving the Atlantic and Pacific branch
ofthe system.
Renewed activity in the construction of
railroads is almost tantamount to renewed
activity in all lines of industry. 1t is hard
to set limits to the trades which are more
or less directly affected by railroads.

THE TRADE OUTLOOK,

While there is no pronounced activity
In trade, there are signs of Improvement.
Wool, for instance. is feeling the peneti-
cial effects OF the anticipated protective
tariff, and, as has already been noted in
IHE CALLS commercial columns. the in
dustry is looking up. The sales through
out the United States for the past three
weeks have averaged II OOO. 600 pounds per
week, and all over New England large
and small factories which have been idle
are starting up, giving employment to
many thousand men and women.
The hide market, which as been de.
pressed for long time, is showing
trmer tone, and reports from Chicago tell
OF an advancing market there. Grain bags
are rising in anticipation of abundant
crops. Beef and mutton have been in
active demand at high er prices for some
time, and now hogs are advancing.
Money is very lentful, and solvent COM
mercial borrowers find no difficulty in OBJ
tanning accommodation at normal rates
OF interest, though the banks are disposed
to confine their loans to commercial ac.
count. Failures are neither large nor nu-
merous, and collections are up to the
average, and California is said 10 be on as
good financial footing as any other State,
and far better than many OF them.
The only drawback is the slow decline
in wheat, which, however, excites no ad-
verse comment, as it generally goes down
during the spring months. The most
pesslmistic operator does not believe that
wheat will get below point where it will
yield good profit, and nobody expects it
to fall as low as il has been

steel rail pool was forced upon the various

MUCH in A NAME FOR OSHKOSH.

The citizens of Oshkosh, Wis, have decided
to erect a monument to Chief Oshkosh in
Norths ide Park. Oshkosh was the last Of the
Menominee sachems and played prominent
part in the pioneer history OF the Northwest.
The settlement at the mouth of the Upper
Fox River, planted in 1886, had been called
Saukeer Point and Stanleys Tavern, bu. in
1910 the settlers named it Oshkosh in honor
of the chief. "The result proved" says the
Milwaukee Sentinel, "that Shakespeare was
laboring under m apprehension when he
propounded his famous interrogatorY, whats

sARMBRS' INSTITUTES.

The address delivered by Professor Hill
gard at the Farmers Institute in this
City on Wednesday evening was a con-
vincing argument in favor of such meet
ings and a complete demonstration of
their value to all who are engaged in
rural industry, and incidentally to the
State al large
The proff ssor pointed out that the rural
industries of California are in urgent need
of the instruction which can be given by
men OF science and the advantages which
result from the maintenance of expert
mental farms under the supervision of
men of scientific attainments In the
older States and in Europe. as he said,
agriculture has been practiced for a long
time, and as a result the farmers there
have found out fairly well by hard expe-
rience what crops are best fitted for their
localities and what are the best means of
cultivating them. 1t is different in Cali
fornia. In this State we have new condi-
tions. 1t is not yet known i'll many Sec
tions, even TO the most observant, what
rural industries are most profitable or how
best to conduct them, and therefore with
us scientific study and experiment are ne
cessities.
A further illustration. of the need of
farmers institutes and agricultural ex-
perment stations under control of tie
university is shown in the fact that
the value Of the work done by science for
our rural industry is not yet understood
by the people. The professor points out
that of all the farmers sons at the State
University, not single one takes the
aorippltnFal snariaI az
dents. The boys, as he says, have been
brought up to believe that farm work is
menial drudgery, and do not yet under
stand that agriculture requires the intel
lect as we'll as the muscle. There are few
industries where science can be more
profitably employed than in the tilling of
the soil and the growing of grains, trees
and vines, and California will not attain
her full prosperity until this fact is under
stood by her people.
By conducting farmers institutes in
various sections of the State the univer-
sity brings itself into close relation with
the farmers, and is enabled thereby to in
fuse among them something of the true
spirit of scientific agriculture. Through
these institutes it is made clear to the
people that many important benefits are
conferred upon rural industry by the SCI
entifc experiments made at the various
university stations. Farmers are saved
from the loss which would be entaiied
upon them by making experiments them
selves, and the State is profited by the
demonstration under scientific supervision
that vast areas of land, hitherto consid-
cred useless, can be utilized with rich
nrnfits.

Letters From the People.
THE BAKER MONUMENT.
A Plea for Memorial to the Dfstin-
nMished Pnfriot nnd htatesnann.

Plea for a Memorial to the Dfstin-
gHished Potriof and Statesman.
To the Editor of The Call: If the bill now be-
fore the Legislature for an appropriation of
$l5,0 ,0G0 for the erection of q monument in
Golden Gate Park to the memory of that gall
liant patriot, soldier and citizen, Colonel E. D.
Baker, who lost his life al the battle of Balls
Bluff in the late Civil War, becomes a law,
which is hoped for By all patriotic citizens it
viii add another attractive feature to that
beauu full breathing spot, in which everybody
takes pride.
To Colonel E. D. Baker California owes more
than to any other cause for having been kept
in this Union during the late unpleasantness.
1t is hoped that the patriotic sentiment OF the
people will be sufficiently aroused to cause
the Legislature to pass this appropriate meas
ure whereby the honor due the one it is to be
bestowed upon may be rightiully and properly
carried out.
The movement in this matter was begun in
1891 by Colonel E. d. Baker Camp OF Sons of
Veterans of Oakland by the adoption of reso-
lutiops favoring the same, which were in turn
indorsed by the following State Encam PINE n t
of the Grand Army of the Republic held at
Santa Cruz From the start here given it the
Colonel E. D. Baker Monument Association
was formed in this City, in which many OF the
prominent citizens were enlisted in the cause.
w. w. Montague was elected as the president
of the association and committees were ap-
pointed TO collect subscriptions thereto and
were succeeding fairly we'll until the hard
times of the past two years set in, which
caused temporary suspension in the matter.
The amount collected is safely deposited to
the credit of the association and will be added
to the sum that is asked for of the Legsla ure
should it successfully pass that body. With
the introduction of the bill interest has been
revived in the matter and assistance is COM
ing TO aid. Resolutions in Iavor of the meas
ure have recently been adopted by the follow
ing organizations and forwai deu TO Sacrs-
mento: Colonel E. d. Baker Camp OF Sons OF
Veterans, the Army and Navy Republican

The statement of Professor Hilgard
that not a single student at the univer-
sity from the rural districts takes the ag-
ricultural course even as q special study
shows how undervalued is the science OF
agriculture in California, where our
farmers and orchardists are the best edu-
Gated in the world. The very neglect of
the course emphasizes the need of it in
the State. If people do not understand
the value of science in rural industry they
must be taught.
