TELLS OF CAUSES THAT
.RETARD FARM INTERESTS

Editor Spokane Press. Some time
ago your enterprising journal pub
lished the amount OF farm products
Imported by the United States. i'm
plying n lack of enterprise In our
farmers; that they do not take advan-
tage of opportunities that arise In
this strenuous age or the foreigners
could not ship their products to this
country where American interests are
so we'll protected, etc.
Remember that a farmer may not
know the very latest color of necktie,
but he always has a reason for the
way he conducts his farm. am fully
aware this statement does not accord
with the opinion generally entertained
by the Glasses. but go out on a farm
and compete with them and you will
be surprised at their business ca
pacity when you realize their diff
culties.
Why did you not say what places
were importing those farm products
and give the freight rate from our
western farms to where those import
ed products were consumed? Excess
I've transportation charges Is the
great cause OF imported farm
products.
Years ago I sat on my ranch and
read about the importation Of Euro

selves and threw boouets at congress
for protecting our interest. We knew
that st. Paurs supply of wheat some
times ran short: then we expected

alive price. The scarcity came, but
our wheat remained at the old bank
rupt price. Sacks cost more. We
could not ship bushel to st. Paul.
What was the trouble2
Why, the millers imported wheat
from Canada which was much nearer
geographically. and practically had
better freight rates. Yes, but the
millers had to pay the 25 cents per
bushel duty. Wait and understand
Investigation of any plan to protect
or benefit the farmers where other
interests are involved will always re-
veal a Joker up someone's sleeve that
utterly blasts the hopes of the coun-
trymen.
The bill that put the duty on wheat
also contained a proviso allowing i'm
porters to grind said wheat into -four
and export this same -four and draw
rebate of 80 per cent of duty paid.
Our bills at the store grew until

and wrote eloauently of the importa-
ton OF Canadian wheat and the finan-
cial "tishtness" out west, and the
only solution he could see was the
''extravpgance of the farmers"
Now I will ask the strenuous advo-
cate OF diversified farming what it
costs the packing houses to ship a
chicken from the east into Spokane.
and what II costs farmer to ship a
chicken 80 miles into this city? I
think a correct answer to the fore

AN ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING

Yesterday afternoon during the noon hour, an unknown man attempted to kidnap two little girls in this city. He would probably have succeeded but for the timely assistance of Chris Perazich. delivery clerk for Medigovich & Noble.
 The little girls. neither of whom were almost carried away to an un- konwn fate, were Mary Kelly, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Jerry Kelly, and Bes- sic Gill, daughter of Mrs. Mary Gill. Both were returned to their homes unharmed.
 The children were on their way to the Tombstone canyon school and jumped upon the rear end of a small wagon for the purpose of having a ride They were invited by the un- known driver to take places. on the seat, which they did.
 As soon as the children were safely seated, the driver whipped his team into a fast galop and started up the canyon. He was not stopped until he had reached the divide, just above the home of Sam Cowan. The man was then allowed to drive on.
 Mrs. Gill saw the wagon carrying the girls pass her house. and she at once became alarmed Fearing that all was not right she yelled to the driver to stop, but he only whipped his horse the harder The frightened mother ran as fast as she could after the wagon. but it kept getting farther and farther from her all the time.
 When she was about ready to drop
Bisbee daily review., 1903-03-20

from exhaustion, Mrs. Gill called to Perazich, who was in light wagon, to chase the man and bring back the girls. Perazich responded promptly, and raced after the kidnapper :or near ly a mile. When he drew near enough he commanded the man to stop.
 The command was obeyed promptly. Perazich told the girls to come to his wagon, which they did as soon as they could. The driver of the other wagon had nothing to say but as soen as the girls were out of his wagon. whipped his horses into dead run, and disap- peared in the direction of Tombstone.
 Perazich said yesterday evening that he had no conversation whatever with the unknown driver, but that if be should see him again he would be able to recognize him. He says that he is white man about thirty-five years of age.
 The attempted Kidnapping caused big sensation in Tombstone canyon. Several women saw Mrs. Gill chasing after the wagon, and joined her in the effort to overhaul the inhuman brute. At every step they were left more in the rear When Mrs. Gill abandoned the chase she was alone.
 When the little girls were rescued they were crying, and very much frightened. Neither was able to tell whether or not the man had said any thing to them while they were in the wagon. It is believed that he intended to carry the children to one of the small ranches several miles out of the city.
