A BENEFIT TO FARMERS.
Consolidation of Harvester Plants
Means tho Confirmation of Low
Prices to Buyers.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result TO farmers from the recent in
corporation of the International Har-
vester Company, which took over tho
business of the five leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not
been considered by large portion of
the farming community.
The economical necessity of con-
solidation of the interests of manu-
facturers and those of their farmer
customers must be apparent to any
one who understands the present sit
uation.
The increased and increasing cost
of material, manufacturing and SELL
ing-the latter in consequence of ex-
treme and bitter competition between
manufacturers and their several sell
ing agcnts-has made the business
Improbable.
The two alternatives left for tho
manufacturers were either the in
creasing of the prices of machines
or the reduction of the cost of man
ufacture and sales. The latter could
only be accomplished by concentrate
ing the business in one company.
As can readily be seen, the forming
of the new company was not stock
jobbing operation, but n centering of
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is conserva-
tive and represented by actual and
tangible assets. There is no stock
offered to the public, it having all
been subscribed and paid for by the
manufacturers and their associations.
The management of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company is in the
hands of well-known, experienced
men.
The officers are: President, Cyrus
II. Mccormick; Chairman Executive
Committee, Charles Deering; Chair
man Finance Committee, George w.
Perkins; Vice-Presidents, Harold F.
Mccormick, James Deering, VIM. H.
Jones and John j. Glessner; Secre-
tary and Treasurer, Richard f. Howe.
The members of the Board of Di-
rectors are as follows: Cyrus Bent.
ley, William Deering, Charles Deer
ing, James Deering, Eldridge VI. Fow-
ler, Z. II. Gary, John j. Glessner,
Richard F. Howe, Abram NJ. Hyatt,
William II. Jones, Cyrus II. McCor-
mick, Harold f. Mccormick, George
w. Perkins, Norman b. Ream, Leslie
n. Ward, Paul d. Cravath.
The international Harvester Com
pany owns five of the largest har-
vester plants in existence, The Cham
pion, Deering, Mccormick, Milwaukee
and Plano-plants that have been pro-
ducing nearly or quite 90 per cent.
of the harvesting machines of the
world.
1t also owns timber and coal landS
blast furnaces and steel plant; it
has n new factory in process of con-
structon in Canada.
1t is believed that the cost of pro-
ducing grain, grass and corn har-
vesting machines will be so reduced
that the present low prices can be-
continued. and that consequently the
results cannot be otherwise than
beneficial to the farmer. To main.
tain the present prices of these ma.
chimes means to continue and in
crease the development of the agri.
culture of the world, for no one
cause has contributed or can con
tribute more to this development
than the cheapness of machines fol
harvesting grains.

WILL NOT TRY AGAIN
De Windt Has Enough Of Journey
ing in Icy Lands.
Arctic Traveller Talks About HIS
Overland Trip from Paris to New
'York-Has No Desire to
RepeatIt

After nearly perishing on his third
attempt to travel from Paris to New
York overland, Harry de Windt has ar
rived at his destination.
Mr.. de Windt left Paris on December
10, 1901, with three companions, deter
mined to demonstrate that the pro-
posed Transsiberian and Alaskan rail-
road was practicable, and that it would
be possible to make the journey from
Poris to New York by rail if such abpe
was ever constructed.
I'VE have no doubt that the railroad
will be constructed some time, and be-
lieve it will not be many years before
one may take the trip by rail, said Mr..
de Windt. Ten thousand dollars, how
ever, would not induce me to take the
same trip again as we made it."
De Windt and his companions were
found nearly dead from exposure in
cave on the Siberian coast by Capt. Cot
tie, of the whaler William Bayliss.
This was early last June. They
crossed Behring sea in the United
States revenue cutter Thetis, and after
that their hardships were nearly over.
The story of their trip is a continu-
Gus record of struggle against mighty
obstacles. Undaunted by two previous
failures they fought their way on, de-
termined to succeed. The first stage
of the journey was made over the
Transsiberian railway. This took
them as far as Irkutsk. There they
embarked on a trip of 1000 miles to
Yakutsk, travelling the entire distance
in horse sleighs. Yakutsk has the
reputation of being the coldest town
on earth, and Mr.. de Windt declares
the reputation is well earned.
Speaking of that part of his journey,
the traveller said:
THE distance was covered by means
of 122 drivers and 732 horses. The

HAS A WIRELESS STATION.
Postal Telegraph Cable Company Ess
tabIIsheS Successful Line with Mar
conI COmpnny.

The Postal Telegraph Cable Com
pany has established successful
wireless telegraph station, in con-
nection with the Marconi Company of
America, ut Sagaponack, L. /. Mes
sages are sent to all the ships of the
great ocean-going vessels which have
been equipped with the Marconi sys-
TEN. The apparatus is being Install
ed rapidly in most of the big liners,
and the list of ships which may ne
communicated with while still ut sea
is growing weekly.
The new service is somewhat ex-
pensive. and of course will appeal
chiefly to persons who like luxuries
and can afford to pay for them. Thus
messages of ten words will cost the
sendcrs 50, with rate of II cents
for each word additional. 1t is be-
lieyed that the station of Sagaponack
will soon be doing Il large business in
kilograms sent from all parts of the
country.
The Marconi Wireless Telegraph
Company of America at its offices in
New York the other day gave out a
direct contradiction from the Mar
quis Solari, of Italy, in regard to the
published reports that Signor Mar
conf had yielded credit for his inven-
tions to the marquis. The official
journal of the patent office on July
16 contained notice announcing
that Marconi sought leave to amend
his application by converting it into
an application for patent for an
invention communicated to him from
abroad by the Marquis Solari."

HYMN OF RECONCILIATION.

Columbia, the gem OF the ocean,
The land of the brave and the free;
My hearts most tender devotion
Shall ever go out unto thee!
The land of the corn and the vine,
The land of mountain and lea:
The land where the sough of the pine
Responds to the call of the sea.
Here's hail to the knightly elation,
Abandoning home for the fray
To fight for the veal of the nation
Brave boys of the blue and the gray.
The stars and the bars forever
lay them sacred away;
The stars and the stripes let them ever
Wave over the blue and the gray.
Uncover and bow down the head,
pray for the blue and the gray;
Let us leave in Gods keeping our dead,
Forgiving, forgiven, united Away.

From Yakutsk the travellers journey
took them 200 miles to Nerkoyansk,
thence northeast 1900 miles to the
town of Srednikolynisk.

Irkutsk were discarded ut Yakutsk for

skins formed the beds and there we lay
at full length, day after day, night
after night, for the next two months,
while a Yankute driver urged on his
deer train. Light furs were useless in
that region.
THE traveller bound for the Kolyma
district must take all his provisions in
a frozen state, for food is scarce along
that lonely tract Of 1900 miles. The
reindeer stations are $50 to 200 miles
apart, but shelter huts are located at
shorter intervals. These are little
houses of wood and water in the form
of slabs of ice, but nothing else.
"The suspension difficulties of that
overland journey from Paris to New
York can be realized only by those who
have encountered them.
From Srednikolynisko our next dash
was 1000 miles to the shore of Behriug
sea, dogs being our motive power. The
cold was terrible. At times the ther-
mometer registered rs degrees below

was reached, and there the entire par

of string. Miss Sarah Blockson, a
young Russian girl was subject to
spells of melancholia, and when once
she had acquired the notion that she
could not stop hiccoughing she had
been sitting in her home waiting for
the recurring spasms. The physic-
ians tied about her waist cord so
tight that the spasmodic movements
of the diaphragIs were controlled.
, She was unable to hiccc ugh any

was removed, and the youaG woman
was told she was cured. The manner
of the physicians was either so con-
vincing or the cure was SO effectual
that from that moment shs ceased to
