The Commercial West, prominent
financial organ published in Minnea-
polls, argues that the merger is q
good thing because it will lead to COM
peaition between the Hill system and
the Union Pacific. Ifcompetition is q
good thing why should we rejoice that
it has been killed as far as local traf-
6c in the Northwest is concerned? The
Union Pacific may force down trans
continental rates, but it cannot effect
local rates. Indeed if the war in the
former rates becomes too heavy a
burden on the roads they are liable
to recoup their losses by increasing
rates on shorter hauls. It is true a
cut in such rates, amounting to about
twelve per cent is announced for the
near future, but that is most likely
only trick to stop the clamor until
the me- ger is fully accomplished and
friendly officials have been put in the
place of those who are botheripg Hill.
When the proper tine comes he will
make the people pay for dividends on
the watered stock of the roads and the
$500, 600, 900 "capita'" of the Northern
securities company.

Two skim Stations.

At the annual meeting of the Irving
creamery held recently, it was decided
to build two skimming stations as
auxiliaries to that creamery. One is
to be located at Hawick station, on
the Great Northern road, the first sta
ton west Of Paynesville. The other
will be at the east end Of Lake Ko-
ron;s, probably near the outlet. A
.contrac Ct was made for delivering to
the railroad station, the butter made
at the creamery during the coming
year, at the price OF and. 1915 cents
per tub. Litchfeld Independent.

There was one governor at the. late
conference Of governors who had the
good sense and courage to suggest al
action that would have meant some-
thing and would have done much to
convince railroads that they are ap-
preaching dangerously near the point
of exhaustings the patience Of the peo-
pie, and reaching the limit Of their en-
durance, The governor of Idaho sub.
mitted the following s. ~ = : IA. -. !. 81 81
"Resolved: That one of the conclu:
sions reached by this conference is
that government ownership of the
great transcontinental lines must be
the ultimate remedy to apply where
such roads combine with the power to
absolutely control the business of the
country" =
This is not a declaration for gov.
eminent ownership, except as q threat
ened means to prevent such combina-
tions as tbs conference fancied it had
met to- destroy. But the resolution
was voted down with Greatness and

probation Of the foregoing sentiment.

veal the ''politics" in the whole bust

tenth Hussars, British army, arrived In
Richmond yesterday afternoon to spend
a part of his leave of absence visiting the
| battlefelds around the Capitol Of the
Confederacy. Captain Shee registered at
the Jefferson Hotel, where he was seen
last night by a Dispa ch>reporter to whom
he related the interesting story of his
experiences in the Boer war.

BOERS BECOMING LOYAL.
When asked how the Beers seemed to
,, like being under the government Of the
British, Captain Shee said they are be-
coming more loyal and seem anxious to
get back to their farms. He, said that
the British government has appropriated
Ell, 100000 to stock the farms with neces-
sary horses, mules and implements for
them to begin work again.
Captain Shee thinks that the large num-
Der of Americ rs who are focking to
Natal. Orange Free State, and the Trans
vaaL are doing exactly right and that it
will be good for them, as the country is
bound to come to the front. He thinks
that great opportunities are there for the
young men. He said that there were
, Americans who fought on both sides dur
ing the war. Most of the Americans were
with the British. They went over with
the Canadians and made a fine showing
in the uniforms of British soldiers.

Captain shee will leave America for

could not stand the damp climate during

The British government has several
