+. L. Lomax of the Union Pacific,
John Francis OF the Burlington and
]. w. Mum of the Elkhorn have gone
to Chicago to attend tn mass meeting
OF western roads called for the purpose
OF trying to get together on a new
agreement for the Western Passenger
association and the immigrant traffic
business. AS announced in the Bee Of
Tuesday, this meeting promises to be
fun Of interest and upon its delibera-
lions may depend the life Of the West
ern Passenger association.
The Union Pacific will refuse to be-
como a member of the passenger asso-
cation unless all western roads are
members. This road has a line to Og-
den, while the other Cnicago-Missouri
river lines either terminate at the river
or at Denver. From Denver west, the
Denver & Rio Grande, the Rio Grande
Western, the Chicago Southern, the
Colorado Midland, and the Oregon
Short Line compete with the Union Pa
cifc and these ines must enter the
Western Passenger association Of the
Union Pacific becomes a member. This
road will not tie itself up in an agree
ment which does not affect the other
roads mentioned, no matter that be-
comes of the association.-Omaha Bee.

New York and Colorado News on the
Question-State Vetinarians Favor
Strictest Inspection-Disease Must
Be Stamped Out-People Do Not
Realize the Danger.

There are about six hundred mich
cows in Colorado affected with tuber-
c~ulosis, say the Denver News.
DR.. Charles Greswell, the state veteri-
marian, makes this statement and urges
in a letter to Governor Thomas, the
passage of a bill now before the legisla-
ture for the determination Of the dis
ease in cattle and preventing the sale
Of milk from infected COWS.
The argument used in favor Of the
measure is that if tuberculosis is ex-
terminated from cattle it will be a COM
paratively easy matter to free mankind
from the dread disease.
"A PLAN such as the state veterinarian
indorses has been adopted with great
success in New York and several other
states.
In New York. by Legislative enact
ment, a tuberculosis test among cattle
was put into operation in 1873. The
plan of determining whether tuber-
culosis exists in cattle or not is to give
injections of a preparation which rises
the Temperature Of an infected animal
to a certain known degree. II the tenn
perature reaches this point the animal
is killed and the meat is not placed up
on the market.
When the law first went into opera
ton the loss was much larger than 1t
has been since and as the state was
obliged to reimburse the owners, the
expenditures were considerably in
creased.
Levi P. Morton who has not been re-
tired from the vice presidents chair,
was one of the heaviest losers of cattle.
He had a large stock of blooded Jer-
e y and G~uernseys which were as val
liable cattle as could be found in the
whole Empire state. The destroying
had OF the law, however. would not
even spare the blooded cattle Of the
second highest official OF the land. The
%insiduous contagious fever was present
and 1000 worth of the fancy stock
was killed.
Frank Hawley Of the Hawley farm
of Rochester was affected seriously by
the new order of things. Stock from
this farm to the value of $50 900 was
sacrificed upon the altar Of health that
mankind, by that sacrifice, might profit

HOLDING up THE GOVERNMENT

The news table of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad, put into eff
feet last Sunday morning, is one of
the worst abuses the business in
terests of this city have been obliged
to submit to since railroads com
menced carrying United States
mails into Redwood Falls.
For months the Northwestern Of
ficials have been promising Red
wood Falls better train service. and
this promise is hagrantly violated
by putting into effect a time table
which can command the respect, o.
no one in Redwood Falls.
Prior to last Sunday the morning
train has been running into Red
wood Falls at 800 in the morning
providing that it was on time.
With that table it was just possible
to secure the mail and attend to
correspondence SO as to have an
answer 60 out on the next St. Louis
or Northwestern mail Now, how
ever, the train does not arrive until
1915, in case it is on time, and it is
practically impossible to attend to
correspondence and have it depart
on the next east-going train. The
daily mail for Redwood Falls is held
up at Sleepy Eve each day from
nine clock the night previous I'M
til 1915 the next morning On Sat-
urday night this government hold
up continues from nine o'clock
Saturday night until 1918 Monday
morning, aperiod of nearly 40 hours,
and really a period Of over 40 hours
that Redwood Falls is without a
train.
The Northwestern has been stick
ing it deep into the business in
terests of Redwood Falls for a long
time. This last thrust is very near
the vital point, and an awakening is
near at hand

guns, and whirled around to place

ability to have purchased the same

AUDITING on these two towns along
the Minnesota river, an easy access
to Redwood Falls, as we'll as to
shorten the distance, make the haul
| ing of farm produce easier, and a
much better route all around than
the one now coming up the North
Redwood hill. It is wanted at once
and it is wanted badly 1t is want
ed to carry out IAN express promise
already made to the Riheldaffer es-
tate. wherein that estate has given
valuable rights for the completion
of that road.
In this connection it is we'll for
the council to consider that the
improving of every road leading in
to Redwood Falls is good business
proposition. The city can well
afford to assist in graveling roads
in other precincts leading to this
city, over which a vast amount of
traffic for the city is carried on
daily. Every road that is graveled
or macadamimized and put in proper
shape for easy traffic, is an additional
reason why the city will derive a
benefit. It is we'll for the council
to see that the streets of Redwood
Falls are placed in proper condi-
ton, but in many cases money is
expended on streets that would be
of much more value if spent on
roads leading to town.
There have been no more disgust
ing spectacles than those presented
during the past few weeks where
vehicles would sink hub deep into
muddy roads leading into various
towns of the counties. These con-
ditions do nothing but drive bust
ness away from towns-they invite
business to remain away.
The opening up of the road
through Ramsey park, the con-
structing of the bridge across the
creek, is the first duty of the Red
wood Falls city council, and the
failure of any alderman to vote for
this proposition will be bold neg
lect of duty which the business
men of Redwood Falls should not
tolerate After that the improve
ment of every road leading into the
city is the next important. Gentle
men, get down to business.

THE RAMSEY ROAD.

The city. council should lose no
opportunity to at once proceed with
the opening of the road through
Ramsey park and the construction
of the bridge across the falls. This
thoroughfare will be one of the
most important business thorough
fares that lead into Redwood Falls.
It will give the farmers of the east
ern portion OF Delhi township, Of
the western portion of Homer town.

GEMS FROM SENATOR DAVIS.

''When Aguinaldo sent that pro-
clamation or secret order into the
city of Manila, while our hands were
tied as to Spain and the exchange of
notifications was pending, that in
meantime the Philippine inhab-
itants of the city of Manila were to
rise and slaughter the people Of
every race and land-German, Eng
lish, American, French, and all
who were not of Filipino blood
made up my mind that such a peo-
pie and such a government(so-ca lled)
was not fit to administer and con-
duct self-government.
"Of Importance far surprising
anything which have considered, is
the question of the Chinese orient.
which, within the past fifteen years
has been presented as an absolute
and concrete problem to Caucasian
civilization. Talk about it as you
may, ignore it if you please, go to
sleep and fall to dream over it if you
are mind to, yet when you awake
that problem is there, a develop
ment of events which, in my opinion,
is of more stupendous Importance to
the human race than the discovery
of America by Columbus, has been
brought to pass within the twenty
five years in regard to the four or
five hundred millions of people who
live in China, constituting third
of the human race.
Whether we wish it or not,
whether we have plotted or planned
or fought for it or not, the United
States is to be considered and reck-
oned with upon the affairs of this
world, from the Golden Gate to the
coast of China.

locomotives will be purchased and ex-
tensive Improvements will be made at
several terminals.
Cold weather has stopped work on
the Great Northern railroad west of
Havre, except in a few places where
improvements necessary to the opera
tion of the line are being made. Forty
miles of new track have been laid be-
tween Havre and the Rocky mountains
and the amount of money expended in
roadbed improvement, ballasting, con-
