A process is in vogue by which it
Is claimed that white wood can be
made SO tough as to require a cold
chisel to split it. This result is OBJ
tained by steaming the timber, and
submitting it to end pressure, techni-
cally "upsetting" it, thus compressing
the cells and fibers into one compact
mass. 1t is the opinion of those who
have had experience with the process
that wood can be compressed rs per
cent, and that some timber which is
now considered unfit for use, in such
work as carriage building, could be
made valuable by this means.

lodgings. 1--WE are used to it." said

late YOU that there has been a marked
improvement in the financial condi-
ton of the country at large, and in
the price of farm products during the
past year, yet there remains much to
accomplish before we reach the high
tide of prosperity experienced by the
American farmer in former years. For
the last four years, Notwithstanding
the price of transportation has been
reduced, much of farm product mas
been below the price of production.
The farmer is confronted with invest
ments and obligations contracted I'M
der a high tide Of prosperity. These
obligations, together with undimin-
ished taxation for the support of the
government must be met from the
meager secured from re-
duced prices in farm products.
Farmers Are Loyal.
Gentlemen of the congress, there Is
no class of men more loyal TO his GOV
eminent than the American farmer.
We have not assembled as ~disgruntled
agitators-an assembly of disappoint-
ed political aspirants for the purpose
of ventilating some fancied grievance
against the present or some former adj
mi~nistration. This is the seventeenth
annual session of a great organization
representing a great interest of n
splendid nation. Holding a commits
sion from the governor, as you do, rep
resenting the tremendous %aggregaie1
wealth of our country produced by
you; you should be a deifbcrativ" body
in the fullest sense. Our object is 10
f-~,xn .raL lAD.clatian No IN N,e<
interests require, to let the congress
of the United States know our needs,
and to force them upon their atten-
ton.
A Principle Established.
"When VIC consider that in SO short
a time we have stepped to the front
as the w~ealthiest nation on the Garth,
that our increase of wealth urder nor
NAL conditions is at the rate of two
and a half million dollars per day;
when we consider the rapid mechanic
cal and scientific development OF the
last quarter of n century, IL is not
strange that we should see this COM
bination Of capital and the formation
of trusts. They n the logical out
growth of a most logical progress.
During the last twenty-five years we
have been engaged in settling the
great questions involving the right tn
control these vast corporations. As
far MS law is concerned we have the
right to check the %rapacious greed of
aggregated capital. Through legisla-
tive enactment and through the courts
the contest has been long aud bitter,
but the principle has been established
and is now recognized by the two
great c~ontending forces. While we
have upon our statutes the Interstate
commerce laws and the antitrust en-
actments, yet those evils are still in
existence. 1t is exhibited in the sugar
trust; we see it in the National Mil
ler's association where they largely
control the price of grain from the
farmer and the price of grain product
to the consumer: and we find It in the
Big Four Beef company. that ahsolute-
ly controls both ends of the market,
II the interstate m commission
has not the authority under existing
laws to check The %rapacious greed OF
