Montana stockmen are vitality interest
ed in the feed-in-transi rate on live
stock which some of the lines nave de-
cided to abolish, and will be glad to learn
thai there is much strength in the move
| ment to keep the rates as they have ex-
listed for some time. The Salt Lake Trib-
une of yesterday contained the following
| with reference to thism matter:
The feed-in-transit rate will not be
abolished,' said one of the prominent.
live stock railroad men yesterday. Il
know there is a determined effort to do
so on the part of certain lines, but the
Tribune struck the keynote to the stu
alton the other day in its reply to the
slur of the Omaha Bee. That paper
laughed at the idea of the local utah
and Colorado lines having influence
enough to keep up the rate when they
have no territory where the rate could
be applied. The reply was, What's the
matter with the Missouri Pacific?' That
is exactly the situation. If the Missouri
| Pacific stands in with the Colorado and
Utah lines in UNFOLDING the rate, the
Santa Fe and all others will have to fol-
low suit"
The Tribune is reliably, though not Of

to What to do, but what conclusion thew
reached it was impossible to ascertain.
The present scale of wage is S. for
eight hours work. 1t is understood that
the journeymen have asked that this
wage rate be maintained for the coming
season, but that six hours on Saturday
snail constitute a full days work. The
master plumbers are willing to give the
Journeymen the scale now in existence,
but decline to entertain the proposition
of reducing the hours on Saturday from
eight to six. Many of the shops are clos
ed and what work is being lone is being
lone by the masters.

fcially, informed that the Burlington
will stay by the local roads. General
Agent Mcmillan declined to discuss the
subject. c. F. Warren of the Santa Fe,
when seen, stated that the matter would
not come up for settlement for some time
yet, and he added in reply to a question
that he did not know authority had been
given any road to stand in with the
local lines in holding to the rates as in
dicated recently. If any one road trav-
ersing the grazing lands did propose to
uphold the rates then it would be impos-
s1ble for the other ines to abolish the
rates. The Santa Fe would be with the
other roads, but Mr.. Warren disclaims
any intention of the road he represents
of hitting a local industry. The effect to
abolish the rate wa saimed solely at those
who so frequently abuse the privilege in
Kansas and Nebraska.
Hudnall of the Midland, who is a firm
believer in maintaining the rate. here
made the remark that he did not believe
the downfall of the rate could be accom-
plished this year. 1t has been tried too
often. he said, and the question is in
variably settled by one of the lines kick
ing over the traces. There will always
be some one road, said Hudnall. that will
be willing to make any concession to hold

SCIENCE.

Frigotherapy is stated to be already In
vogue at several places in Europe. The
treatement consists in standing the
| patient, we'll protected with furs, in a
freezing box cooled to 200 degrees or more
below zero, this daily cold bath being con-
tinued 10 minutes. The head is allowed to
| protrude from the box. as breathing Of
the intensely cold air would be danger
Gus. The effect is to powerfully stimulate
the circulation, creating an immediate
and ravenous appetite, and tending to
Danish dyspepsia and various kidney and
liver diseases, as Well as nervous cNhaus-
ton and its attendant melancholy and
! DEPRESSION. The whole body is aroused
to vigorous action.
Some curious submarine features of
the coast Of western Europe formed the
subject of a late paper to The Royal Geo
graphical society by Prof. Edward Hun.
The land along much of this coast was at
one time several thousand feet higher
thar today, joining France ana England
together, and extending far Cut into what
is now the sea. On the subsistence OF the
land great rivers sunk INTO the ocean. In
the center of the English Channel is on
of these old river gorges, which can still

The trees serve ue. Mr.. John Clifford
points out, by improving the soil. ard by
actually making both soil and land as
we'll. They bring from deep layers great
quantities of mineral matter, and in their
leaves they deposit much OF this on the
surface, where is collected a mulch of hu-
mus of constantly increasing richneSs.
The forests form soil by sending out acid
charged rOOtlets. which. with the acids of
the decaying humus, have a potent effect
in disintegratine the rocks. How the
trees make land is strikingly illustrated
by the m%angrove, which grows in salt
water several feet le2p, collecting sedi-
merit and f1otage about It's roots, and
thus advancing the shore line, which the

A dispatch from Calumet, Mich, dated

Tamarack, Jr, and Kearsarge copper
mines were compelled to close last night
on account Of a strike at their stamping
mills at South Lake Linden. About $500
men are out of employment through the
strike of 800 men at the mills. The mill
men are likely to demand a straight 10
per cent raise before beginning work.

shutdown came, to work with the rebel

been eminently successful, and says the

HendersOn's Closest Adyiser
No man in Washington or anywhere eIse
stands as close to Colonel Henderson no
Senator Allison.
Together they have maintained absolute
control over the Iowa district of which Du-
buque is the chief city for more than the
IhlTd part OF century each unQuestonably
proving OF great strength to the other In
lhe admirable political team composed OF
these Two men Henderson, has always fur
hlshed the dash and the enthusiasm while
AlIlson has been the cautious, conservative
force. Since 1866 they have consulted each
other constantly regarding the wisdom of
every important move. and undoubtedly
their consultations will continue throughout
Henderson's speakershp. 1t is no dispar-
agement to the colonel to say that the coun-
sci of so competent political captain as
Allison will be of inestimable value to him
and likewise to the party to which both be-
long. 1t is certain from remarks recently
made by the colonel to some of his ntimates
that he views the situation in this light
Those who understand the political status
in Iowa, where there has never been an
anti-Allison Henderson faction within the
party lines, say that the influence of the two
men upon the party at large at this june
lure cannot fail to be of a thoroughly unity
ing nature. Allison's harmonzng tenden-
cies are well known, and despite his sheri-

credited with having played the role OF
peacemaker surprisingly large number Of
times between members of the party who
have fallen out temporarily. And of course
the Importance of Iowa as state in repub-
lican politics is not likely to decrease during

young married woman of Chicago re-
siding on the north side has recently kept
herself busy with an occupation which prom
ises to be successfully Temunerative. Her
husband was unfortunate, which necesstated
the sale of their home and most of the furn-
iture. The remaining furniture was placed
in a small house. The clever wife had two
rooms left unfurnished, save for gas stove
and table she intended to use in her busi-
ness. When settled in her new small quar-
ters she sent letters to her friends and ac-
quaintances intimating her desire to under
take the washing of their fancy handker-
chiefs, laces of all kinds, silk stockings,
walstcoats and all dainty articles that could
not be intrusted to the usual laundress In
very short time she had more work than
she could undertake single-handed so she
employed the services OF woman, whom she
allowed to wash the articles and do any OF
the rough work while she devoted her spare
time to the careful ironing, Very soon the
energetic wife was earning quite a sum OF
money in a quiet way. The rooms devoted
to the occupation We're kept quite apart and

| 1,20O tons per day. 1t is said that this
years beets yield about 215 pounds of sugar
to the ton, and the factories can run about
$50 days in the year. The total product
of sugar from the consumption of 1000 tons
of beets would run to about 25S0 pounds
daily, or 3S,74OOOO pounds for $50 days. IT,
as is claimed, the profit is cents pound
the profit on the Nebraska product, should
the factories be operated at their full capaC-
ity would reach $774,OOO annually. These
are, Cf course, maximum figures, based on
the operation of the factories at their utmost
capacity, with ample crops of average pro-
ductiveness in sugar. Figures are not
available at this time as to the actual con-
sumption of beets in Nebraska this year
from which the profits of the factories can
be estimated, but it is known that the profits
of the Oxnard factories in the past have
been such as to enable them to dispose of
their interests to great advantage. The
statement is made that they have sold their
factories, including two in California, for a
consideration reaching into the millions,
and that they were purchased by European
capitalists, who figured that they would
yield a profitable rate of interest upon $15,-
900, 900 or $16,OOO,OOO.
beet Sugar Making in Germany.
Beet sugar making in this country is not
under government supervision and there is
therefore no method of reaching exact figures
as to it's cost. but in Germany where the
figures are obtained by the government, the
following statement shows what has been
accomplished in 113 factories where large eX-
perience, the highest skill and the best
management contribute to the result
The mean capital invested for each factory
L.. 81 .t.... s.,
moasses and pulp per ton CT beets was $11.lO
Mean cost of beets per ton of 2,2O4.62
pounds, $3.50; salaries per ton, 26 cents;
labor per ton, 73 cents; interest on invest
ment per ton, 36 cents coal, per ton Of
beets SO cents; miscellaneous expenses per
ton, SO cents; total, per ton, $7.S4, leaving
profit per ton OF beets of 1925.
In Germany the farmer is a factor in the
manufacture of the sugar and enjoys a part
of the profit. Owing to the cost of establish
ing plants he cannot go into the business on
his own hook but he is interested on the CO.
operative plan, so that he is assured share
of the profits. 1t is predicted that this
method, whereby the farmer growing the
beets holds a part or majority of the stock.
will ultimately prevail in this country. or
the II ,672, ,Sl6 tons of beets delivered during
1S95-lS96 to the German factories 26S9,OOO
tons were delivered by farmers holding
shares in the factories. But as long as it
requires about $25O,OOO to build a factory
with a capacity of 300 tons per day and
equip It with the most modern and econom-
ical machinery there seems little chance of
the farmer, to whom the advantages of CO.
operation are not available, to get into the
actual manufacture of sugar He can only
grow the beets and trust to luck in finding a
market at tho factories which capital estab-
fishes for their consumption.
