1.-THE fight" said James j. Hill,
speaking at Minneapolis the other
day of the future OF American trade,
"is on the high seas. 1t is not fight
between this city, or section, or road,
and the other. Our competitor is
not here, not in New York, not in
San Francisco; he is on the high
seas. Our problem is to get the COM
merce of the Pacific ocean and bring
it across the United States, instead
of allowing it to be diverted around
the globe via the Suez canal and
Cape Horn"

STRUCK A SNAG.
The Dubuque Sinks In the MIssissiPp6
Near KeIthsburg-NO One Hurt.

Special to HERALD.
Keithsburg, May 2s.-The boat Du~
buque struck a rock last evening
about midway between here and the
Oquawka landing, and SO injured
herself that she sank. in a very few
minutes. The water, however, at the
point of the river where the accidens
occurred was only about fiveSor sIx
feet deep and no one was hurt. Many
of the passengers remained on the
boat all night. The boat can be easily
raised owing to shallowness of the
water and the same will be done az
once. There we're so passengers ON
board at the time of the wreck. Tha
rock tore an 1s-foot plank from the
bottom of the boat. The Dubuque Is
one of the finest Diamond Joe puckess
on the river. She was eDroute from
st. Paul to st. Louis, and carried a
large cargo of flour.

The seller will know where to find
buyers for his. truck and buyer will
know where to look for what he
wants. 1t is not intended-as has
been reported-to interfere in any
way with the hitching around the
park, except as loads OF hay, wood,
corn and various articles offered for
sale will be sent to the market place,
and thus relieve the park railing and
space that much, or in other words
make that much more room for
legitimate hitching. The scheme
will we feel sure meet with approval
on all sides, forit cannot help but be
a betterment in every way.

AnCTL0N SALE-


The government had an auction
sale last week of patent models. The
articles we're most curious, and some
of them of exquisite workmanship
and intricate design. In all, 5000
models were disposed of, the govern
ment realizing S75.75, although the
models are estimated to have cost
$500. They represented years of
toll, heartburnings and feverish am
bition.
Sales of models take'place at'inter-
walls of every few years. The models
are allowed to accumulate until they
are found to be in the way, and are
then sold. The law requires that all
models of inventions for which
patents are granted shall be pre-
served, so, except in the case of a
few duplicates, those sold were
failures, so far as securing patents
was concerned.
The models sold represented an
accumulation from the years 1887 to
1899. They were sold at action by
order of the commissioner of patents
to the highest bidder. Only old junk
dealers sought to buy them for the
value of the metal they contained.
The models covered every class of
inventions. They were mainly those
upon which no patents had been
issued, and which we're sent in by
the inventors and never reclaimed.
They we're put up in seven separate
lots, and in all made six or seven
wagon loads.
