The BEEF MERGER CORN IN NORTHWEST
Experiments Being Made in the
Red River Valley.
ACREAGE GREATLY INCREASED
Land Men and Railroads Back of
Moyement-Part of General
Land Boom.

In order to convince Iowa farmers that
corn can be successfully grown In the
northwest, Minnesota and North Dakota
land men and railway Industrial agents
are promoting a large number of expert
ments in the Red River valley and various
sections of North Dakota. This has re-
suited in considerable increase in corn
acreage in the valley. The report of the
North Dakota depart ment of agriculture
recently issued says that 100000 acres Is
the estimated corn acreage in that state
for this year.
The experiments In corn growing now
being made in the Red River valley are
progressing satisfactorily. Iowa farmers
who have visited that section in the past
two weeks say that Red River valley corn
is making as good progress as corn In
Iowa. If the experiments made this year
are as successful as is now Indicated Red
River valley and North Dakota lands will
be still more attractive to Iowa farmers.
South Dakota has already established a
reputation as corn state and southern
Minnesota will show big increase in
corn acreage this year.
Iowa IS being campaigned from corner
to corner by northwestern land compan-
les. Several hundred solicitors, repre-
senting Minnesota and North and South
Dakota land companies are travelling
through the state advertising and selling
northwestern lands to the hawkeye farm
ers. Parties numbering from FIVE to twen-
ty are daily passing through Minneapolis
en- route northwest, and many sales are
being made. Hotel men in the smaller
towns say hardly a day passes that sey-
eral land men are not registered with
them and canvassing the farmers in the
interests of northwestern lands. Compe-
tition is daily growing keener, Some Of
| the companies offer to pay livery hire and
refund railroad fare to the purchasers
Many statesmen are leaving other lines o1
business to sell lands on commission
With present crop prospects all land men
are hopeful that the coming year will be
better for land sales than the twelve
months closing June 80, which has seen
the largest land movement in the history
of the northwest.

Local Interest in Report of Sale of
Fowler Plants.
HAVE SWIFT 8 CO. BOUGHT 2
If They Have New Brighton's Out
look for Business Revival
Is Poor.

There is much interest locally in the re-
port that Swift & Co. are after the west
ern packing plants owned by Anderson
Fowler and his associates. Mr.. Fowler
recently acquired the packing-h house
property at New Brighton and Is known
to he impressed favorably with New
Brighton as a location for plant OF that
kind.
The companies in which Mr.. Fowler Is
interested operate plants at Chicago and
Kansas City. The Chicago plant Is op-
Grated by the Anglo-American company
with headquarters in Liverpool, England,
The Kansas City plant is operated by a
corporation at the head Of which was the
late George Fowler, brother of Ander-
son Fowler.
The absorption Of the Fowler interests
by Swift & Co. would tend to facilitate
the consolidation OF the packing house
interests of the country into ONE big con-
cern. The Cudahy companies and
Schwartzschild & Sulzberger have been
invited to join the combine, 1t Is said, but
have taken no action thus far. 1t is be-
lieved that with the Fowler companies
out of the way, Swift, the Armours, Nor
ris, and Hammond can present a better
proposition to the other two big COM
panies. The proposed combine would not
be menaced with the powerful competition
of the FoWlers. If the Fowler plants
have been sold to Swift, it Is probable
that some agreement has been made
| whereby Anderson Fowler and his as
sociates will leave this field to the Biz
Six. This would puncture New Brighton's s
prospects as a meat packing center.
Managers and attorneys for the meat
companies continue to deny that merger
is to be brought about. 1t is practically

seriously considered and a merger Will

The FILIPIN0'S FIX
"Water- Cured" if He's Silent;
Bo1oed if He Talks.
A MINNEAPOLIS TOURIST WRITES
He Says There Are Some Good Sol
diers, but Others Need
Investigating. s.~

One of the prominent mercantile firms
of the city has received letter from one
Of It's statesmen now in the Philippines
which throws some light on water cure
conditions existing in the new posses
sions:. Says the writer:
I notice the senate is going to Investigate
the conduct of the war out here, shooting
prisoners, giving the water cure, etc. Say,
If they do they will raise a bad smell. You
see soldiers everywhere here, and from what
can hear, for the future good of the army,
there should be an investigation. Here is the
fix the poor Filipino is in: The soldiers will
come into a town and call on native for
information about the insurgents. II the ma
tive gives it and the soldiers strike out and
don't get the insurgent they get on. me
Insurgents come back into the town and kill
the native II the native doesn't give the
information the soldiers give him the ''wate1
cure, The native Is between the devil and
deep blue sea. - ...
Then when they want to get rid of prison
ers they let them fall behind. A sergeant
and a few men would take them OIL to one
side and shoot them. Then they would catch
up to the command and report that the pms
oners tried to escape and were shot, the
while thing being. understood beforehand De.
tween the officers and men, Then they would
make prisoner climb cocoanut Tree ane
shoot him to hear him fall.
A school teacher told me about padre
that had two servant boys standing IN from
Of the church. Up galloped troop OF cav
airy. The boys had never seen American
horses before and with the noise and al
they were afraid and ran. The troops sho
them down. why? Just because they ran.

has been conclusively demonstrated, say
the members of the committee, that Min
neapolfs has the talent and can produce
as good band music as can be secured
from abroad If the necessary support IS
to be had. At the same time the money
thus expended remains in circulation IN
this city. Believing that the musical de-
velopment of the city will be greatly pro-
noted by the continuance of free band
concerts, the committee makes special
appeal to wealthy people to help the cause
along A liberal response in 50-cent and
81 contributions would keep the concerts
going all summer.
Remit ances can be made to G. A. Quist,

The Price Of Oil Land Still Advancing
"A Talk With Senator ToWns.

'
Ex-senator Towne is quoted in the New Or
leans Picayune, saying that "oil land is high
er now than ever before" Some Spindle Top
land has recently been bought at $4,000 an
acre, with no improvements on it of any
kind.
This proves to me conclusively" he said
that capitalists generally realize the impor
tance OF the field. and that the oil PROPOSE
ton in its entirety is as big thing as any
Of us have ever supposed 1t to be.
In my opinion the oil fields of Texas are
sure winner There are now two or three sep
arate crowds in the Texas oil fields engaged
In promoting large ocean barge lines l know
of several other companies of capitalists who
are contemplating this same thing in the
north, with Beaumont as their objective point.
am told that there are two syndicates in
New Orleans now engaged in similar enter
prises. It Is extremely encouraging to know
how rapidly fnanciers have grasped the real
question upon which hinges the utility Of oil
ivity that I see convinces me that it will be
only very short while before there will be
ample facilities for distribution. Terminal
facilities at the points of consumption are be-
ing contracted for very literally, and there is
general talk In manufacturing centers OF such
topics as oil-burning apparatus, pipe lines.
local tankage and all the many things that
go toward utilizing the new fuel.
The officers of the Omaha-Texas Oil cOmpa-
viding means for marketing the oil, and have
already arranged for the use of pipe line to
Port Arthur. as well as for building tanks,
loading racks and all the essentials of the
oil business.

Col. Davidson on Mckee.

In an article on Reciprocity with Mex
Ice, in The National Criterion, Col.
James H. Davidson gives some interest
ing facts in regard to Mexico, our near
ing neighbor. Speaking of the little
states Of Chiapas and Tabasco, in partic-
ular, he says: For coffee, vanilla, CO.
Goa, sugar-cane, and rubber, no such
tempting field is now open, either In or
out of Mexico. The area for the success

and the very best locations In the world

conditions, rainfall and transportation"
The rapidly Increasing demand for rub
Der is so seriously drawing on the wild
rubber supply that the cultivation of the
rubber tree is now almost imperative.
And tho increasing demand Is making 1t
the most profitable industry in the in
dustrial world. With the profits so large,
and so certain, it is not strange that the
rubber culture is arousing great interest,
and attracting attention from capitalists
and investors. =" r-

company allows them to buy stock and
pay for it on the installment plan, the
payments to extend over a period Of
seven years, during which time freshly
planted rubber tree has time to ma
ture. While the payments are going on,
tho stockhol5er receives regular divi-
dends from the sale Of other products on
the plantation. and by the time his shares
are paid up the rubber trees are advanced
