RAILROADS.

No. 1. westbound. on the North
ern Pacific, was As minutes late
this morning.
The Burlington & Western will
on January 1 be absorbed by the
Chicago. Burlington & Quincy.
The sugar beet line" to Waverly
has been discontinued, the sugar
manufacturing being over for the
present.
A cut in the freight rate ON iron
and armor plate Is announced to go
into effect December q on the
Great Northern.
Railroad officials report that the
usual reduction in the amount OF
freight business during the winter
has not occurred this year as yet,
and that their business was never
as good as at the present time.
The Chicago-Great Western will
vote in February to increase the
capital stock of the company from
$3O,000,000 to $50,O00,000 The in
crease will mean many improve
ments and new lines of the COM
pany.
Late developments indicate that
new railroad will be built from
Waterville to the Columbia river.
Some weeks ago A. w. Frater, who
heads the proposition, took in a
corps of surveyors and they have
81 witGed in getting per cent
grade. 1t Is reliably stated that
the road will be built next year.
The terminal point is contemplated
at Orondo in order that boats may
not be compelled to pull through
the Entiat rapids. The grade will
allow of either an electrical road
or steam one and in the event
of It's being run by electricity the
power will be supplied from the
Entiat.
The Grand Trunk railroad has a
vast scheme and Vice President
Hays says it will mature shortly in
the building of a new road from
Bay City to the Pacific coast
through Canadian territory. Work
will be started as soon as the neces-
sary legislation can be had. A road
to the coast Is not as difficult an
undertaking as 1t was at one time
Modern conditions of today are far
better and the Grand Trunk will
take advantage of all these. When
the road reaches the Pacific coast a
line of steamships will probably be
established This proposed line
will tap some of the richest terri
tory in Canada. 1t is the intention
of the Cadanian government to fl
fba countrv with mmiprauta from
the British isles.

Present methods of reaping fax de-
stroy the fiber in the plant for textile
purposes. The reaper cuts it off sev eral
inches above the ground. How to save
the long fiber is the problem. For some
time the government has been bringing
this to tie attention Of inventors
through various publications. Rail-
roads have also assisted in the move.
ment through their industrial depart
ments. One of. the results is the inven.
tion of a machine for reaping fax
which instead Of cutting the plant
several inches above ground pulls it up,
root and all, and binds it as the regular
reaper does. It is understood that one
of the big Chicago machine Companies
has become interested in the machine
and will announce results Of the test
this fall il it is successful. IF the new
invention works well, campaign Of
education on the saving Of fax fiber
will be begun on large scale by some
of the northwest tern railroads.

For Judge of Probate.
From the Adams Review. ,.@S i

From the Adams Review. ! !. A.: sSzzs SSzzzs
The friends and supporters Of J. NJ
Greenman for Judge of Probate firmly
believe him to be an ideal candidate.
The Probate Judge is an important
Office and should be filed by a man
with thorough knowledge of the law
of Wills, Title by Descent, Guardian
ship and General Probate Laws.
In these particulars Mr.. Greenman is
eminently qualified for the office. His
standing and ability as a thorough
lawyer are beyond question, and the
high esteem in which he is held by the
bar Of this district is one Of the very
best endorsements he could have for
Judge of Probate.
He is an old resident of the county
and has established reputation for
honor, integrity and fairness that no
one who has known him during the 30
years of his residence in the county will
question. 1t is rarely the case that
candidate has the combined qualifca-
tions for the office of Judge Of Probate
that are possessed by Mr.. Greenman.
He is man of excellent judgment,
thoroughly conversant with all the
principles of law governing the admin
istration of Estates, Probates Of Wills
and Titles by Descent, together with a
keen sense of justice and an experience
Of more than thirty years Of successful
practice Of his profession which emf
nently qualities him for the office to
which he aspires. Nobody will make a
mistake in voting for Mr.. Greenman
for Judge of Probate.

C. D. Belden for Senator.

From tho Adams Review .
The only candidate who has filed an
| affidavit for the Office of State Senator
for Mower county, is C. ID. Belden,
editor of the MOWER County TRANS
CR1PT. r r. - ~ %as#5
If this paper had had the selecting
of senatorial candidate, it would
probably. have passed Mr.. Belden up,
but this fact does not in any way, de.
tract from the genuine true worth of
the man. It must be conceded by the
voters in general-laying aside all
personal and political differences of
opinion-that Mr.. Belden has every
qualification to fill acceptably the
honorable position to which his friends
in every section of Mower county, de-
sire to elect him. From an educational
point of view he is more than ordinarily
well qualified; as to being perfectly
familiar with public questions of mo-
ment to the people of the state, there
is no. man who is better fitted to know
what is fair and just in the way of legis-
lation. His character in both public
and private life, is spotless, and while
he has generally taken a decided stand
on all public questions and been aggres-
sive in politics, he.has been found ready
to extend the hand of friendship to
both the victorious and defeated can
didates,. giving them all the credit they
have been entitled to. ST.
Regardless of all prejudice, no one
can say but what G. D. Belden is a man
in every way qualified to represent the
people Of Mower county in the state
senate and if elected we are confident
he will do so with credit to the rich and.
prosperous county of Mower as we'll as
to himself. From present indications
it looks as if he will have no opposition
before the primary election and we do
not believe it is possible for any, man.
to defeat his election after he is nomi-s
mated. One thing is sure and that is,
no serious mistake can be made in
electing him as senator from this.

Notes on Horticulture.
From Morristown Press.

From Morristown Press.
There will be no plums in this part
of Minnesota, and the apples will not
be as abundant as was expected at the
time the trees were in blossom. Wet
weather destroyed the pollen to large
extent. The insect tribes are not
troublesome, and the apples, with
abundant moisture, promise a good
quality. The gratis are making a
heavy growth and many varieties not
before tested in this state will soon get
a fair trial. Some two-year old CRAFTS
are now bearing though they are not
expected to bear until the third spring.
when they generally bear quite good
The changing of crab trees to bear
large apples will be good thing for
those who have the trees. A great
many old settlers have a good many
trees the fruit of which has no real
market value. Blight amongst apple
trees is more severe than usual this
season. I have always thought blight
was~a sun scald, for some twenty five
years ago sent transcendent trees to
Idaho which are now large trees and
which never blighted. EARLY straw
berry crab and transcendent are the
worst this season. So far as my OBJ
servation extends I think we cannot
count more than fifty per cent on the
apple crop. The Duchess and Peerless
seem to be the best. Iowa reports
about the same percentage Of a crop as
we estimate.
Potatoes have not promised so we'll
for years. The hay crop will be abun-
dant, but hay land will be soft for
awhile. Almost all the currant and
gooseberry bushes are damaged by
worms. The bushes should be treated
with Paris green, for if the worms be
allowed to work the bushes will be
greatly injured for the next years
fruitage. There has been some frost
that injured the corn on low land, but
it promises a good crop! I never in
forty years saw so much corn in this
town. Truly 'corn is king" this season
if we get corn weather in July and
August. Wheat looks yellow and not
as promising as corn. 49, '

The Fallacy of the Beet-Sugar
Argument.

1t is plain that there is a good argu- |
ment, from the standpoint of the
American sugar producer, against a
general lowering of the tariff on sugar.
But it is equally plain that a reduced
rate on the Cuban crop alone could not
affect the level of sugar prices in the
United States. The home producer,
who declares that he wants the benefit
Of the tariff, has to-day exactly the
same degree of effective protection that
he had before we admitted Porto Rican
sugar free of duty. And he would
have neither more nor less tariff protec-
tion remaining to him, whether one
policy or another should be adopted
in respect to Cuba. The men who have
been telling him things contrary to this
have been either ignorant themselves,
or else have been guilty of confusing
his mind Intentionally. The remission;
Of 20 per cent Of the duty upon the:
Cuban crop alone would have exactly
the same effect as the admission, free
Of duty, Of one-ffth Of the Cuban sugar
crop, while charging full duty rates
upon the other four -ifths. And this
admission, free Of duty,of one-ffth. Of
the Cuban sugar crop would affect the
beet-sugar producers of the United
States neither more nor. less unfavora-
bly, than the addition to our home
sugar crop Of an equivalent quantity.
In. other words, the effect Of 9 20 per
cent reduction upon the Cuban tariff
would be simply that Of the addition

POLITICS IN BERRIEN.
Both Legislative and County Races
Promise to be Lively


Triton, Ca. March 3.-Mr. j. p.
knight announces himself for re-elec-
ton to the House, and it is said that
he will be opposed by either Messrs.
Joseph A. Alexander (our last senator),
John r. McCraine, former representa-
tive, or F. M. Shaw, Jr., chairman of
the Board of County Commissioners,
who represented Berrien in the Legis-
lature several years ago.
The following county officials have
announced to succeed themselves For
sheriff. w. L. Swindle; ]. D. Lovett.
for clerk. M. w. Jones for tax COL
lector.
j. p. Norwood will probably succeed
himself as county treasurer. j. A.
Crosby and j. A. Griffin are opposing
each other for the office of tax receiver.
The race is young yet, and there may
be some lively politics before the close
of the campaign.
Echols county has the turn for fur
nishing the senator this time.
The spring term of Berrien Superior
Court convenes at Nashville the third
Monday in March, and we expect to
hear from the candidates for Governor
and judge of the Superior Court at that
time. Berrien will probably support
e. P. S. Denmark for judge of Superior
Court for this circuit.

THE POTTS TELEGRAM.
What Mr.. Guerry Said About 1t at
WaycrOss.


Waycross. Ga, March 2.-Editor
Morning News: Your reporter has
me to say in your paper of to-day, in
referring to the Frank NJ. Potts
telegram in my speech here yester-
day, that. "Mr. Walter B. Hill had
stated publicly at Forsyth that Mr..
Terrell was the author of it,

withstandiRg your distinguished edi-
tor. is one of the gubernatorial candi-
dates, Il presume you will publish
what I did say and what I do now say
on the subject.
Under the rotation rule Gin 1866 1t
was the county of Monroe's time to
furnish the senator and name the man
for the senatorial District composed of
Bibb, Monroe and Pike. Monroe had
named Mr.. r. L, Berner, but
when the convention met at
Forsyth the Bibb delegation, con-
shutting one-half the convention
demanded of Mr.. Berner
pledge against prohibition legislation
and refused to vote for him unless he
would make it, Mr.. Berner refused
and a deadlock ensued for several
days.
THE convention adjourned so that
the Bibb delegation could go home
for instructions. Many of the Demo-
Gratis of Bibb, including prohibition
lists and others who were not prohibit
tionists, were indignant that our dele
cation should make such a demand
upon Mr.. Berner and we filed Bibb
Court House, when the time came, and
mad an excited meeting, a number of
US making speeches disappearing the
action of our delegation and resolu-
tons instructing the delegation to re-
turn and vote for Mr.. Berner without
any pledge were unanimously adopted
with great applause. We thought we
had Won signal victory, but it was
soon learned that during the day the
Blbb delegation had received from
MT Frank M. Potts, president of the
Atlanta Liquor Dealers Association
telegram in substance as follows:
Oppose Berner no longer. He Is all
right. Frank NJ. Potts" This account
ed for our easy victory.
Afterwards Mr.. Walter B. Hill, who
was supporting Col w. A. Huff in
opposition to Mr.. Berner, read a copy
