swine Shortage Out West.

Kansas City Journal.
There IS a serious shortage of hogs in
Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, which will
have a strengthening influence on the mar
ket for some months. The dry season of
1901, the scarcity of feed and the resultant
high prics, of hogs have resulted in vast
number If brood sows being sent out of
the corn 1elt and a cons equent depletion of
the visible supply of small stock.
Prof Il d. Graham, formerly connected
with the Kansas State Agricultural College
at Manhattan, and now associate editor of
the Kanras Farmer at Topeka, said last
night that in the States and Territories
mentioned there would be an unprecedented
demand :or breeding hogs for the next
eighteen months.
"Hogs Are unprecedentedly scarce" said
Professor Graham. 1T is true they can be
grown and marketed in six months, but not
without breeding animals Prices OF hogs
will continue high. l came in to-day from

There is also a strong demand for cat

President Roosevelt's use of the United

Many of the industrious polemics who in

but we think the old form is the better
form. These United States are" The SUI
preme Court has affirmed it in the insular
cases by declaring that the Constitution
does not extend of its own vigor over ter

Constitution is still compact among the
States, but a compact that cannot be
broken except by force of arms. For all
that, there are plenty of state rights left.
Some political demagogues made this high

they purposed to have Congress take pos

Pennsylvania. They ascertained that Con-

still a government of enumerated powers.
The powers not expressly delegated to the
federal government are still reserved to the

for home rule, and home rule Is funda-

If President Roosevelt wishes to say 1.-The
United States are" he has on his side the
Constitution of the United States, the
genius of American institutions, the history
of the Nation and as good logic as anybody
needs.

Out in the haze of the autumn weather,
on the beechen slopes they patter and fall.
The sweet brown nuts that the children gather.
While the woodland voices echo and call.
The squirrels chatter. the late bees humming.
The rustic of leaves TO the rabbits fear,
The hollow whirr of the partridge drumming,
The cawing of crows in the treetops near.
The cool brook laughs through the leafy hollow
To the silent pool where the lilies grow.
And the airy bubbles leap and follow,
And mirror The maiden-hair bending low.
The sunshine falls and the winds blowing

And gypsy autumn. I'm beauty glowing.

And the hazels dream Of their winter gold:

He was at work, assisted by a

struck with full force Mr. Getty's

THE NORTH WESTERN WRITES
ITS BIOGRAPHY
Progress Made by That System
Between 1913 and 1902
Marvellous.

The greatest of all rail roads, the
Chicago & Northwestern system,
comprising in theiyear 1902, SS42
miles Of track has just issued q
neat little pamphlet giving a bio
graphy of the road from the
time the first grade stake was
set in the ground outside the Chi
cago city limits i'm 1897 until the
present time.
The road was then called the
Galena and Chicago Union rail
road. A provision WAS made in
the road's charter saying in effect
the road might if desired be chang
ed into good turnpike instead of
n rail road. In 1888, the work
on the road was suspended for a
p ariod OF ten years, the directors
seriously contemplating the per-
manent suspension OF work. 1t
was thought there was not sut1ici-
ent business for the road in what
was then the wilds of Hin OILS.
After several years of bond agita
ton the first contracts were let in
1913, for 80 miles of road. The
city Council of Chicago did not
deem the road of sufficient i'm
portance to give it a permit to en-
ter the city, hence the road COM
menced at the edge of the city Ii
mits. The Council did, however
permit the construction of tenn
porary track on which the two en-
gines the directors had purchased
might be unloaded. The "Pio-
neer" the first engine used on the
road arrived by steamer in the
fall Of l84S. On November Goth
party OF stock holders in the
then uncertain enterprise and q
company of newspaper men took
trip on the road then extending
ten miles west. Ga their return
trip the train was stopped long
nough for farmer to shovel q
wagon load Of wheat into one of
the cars, this being the first grain
shipment. At this time the roads
rolling stock consisted of six
freight cars, one passenger coach
and one engine. 1t was thought
that the resources of the country
traversed by the road mighteven-
tualy be developed 80 as to furnish
business sufficient for two trains
daily for two thirds of the year and
one train daily for one third of the
! year, The road was built to the
Mississippi river in 1855, from
Clinton to Cedar Rapids in 1858,
from Cedar Rapids to MARSHALL
town in 1862, MarshalItown to
Boone in 1865, Boone to Council
Blufa in 1867. In 1867 the comp
any operated one passenger train
daily between Council Bluffs and
Chicago, that is the train depart
ed daily, consuming % hours in
making the 489 miles. At that
time it required 100 hours to go
from Chicago to San Francisco a
distance of 1886 miles now cover
edin 713 hours.
