Commission and Rebate Business.

The two big railroad bills that failed
were the ones to establish a commits
sion for the regulation Of railway
rates and the bill to es-
tablish the rates of June Is, 1902,
as the maximum rates in the state.
There was also a bill that failed which
prohibited the giving or receiving Of
rebates. This does not mean that it
was blocked by the railroad lobby ally
more than the defeat of the railway
commission bill in the assembly means
that the lobby controlled that body.
Rather it means that each side was
playing politics and it was felt that
good faith was lacking; that being so
the merits Of the bill were obscured.

New York state has such a law.
The banking law of 1852 has long
been obsolete and the banking bust
ness hampemed by it's provisions and
the constitutional amendment was Il
happy thing IL that it authorized the
legislature by twO-thirds vote of the
members to amend the banking law
On this basis a new law has been en-
acted The bank commissioner is Civ
en- full authority, and can act effective"
~ should he find any institution con-
Quoting it's business in reckless or
careless manner. Limitations are pre-
scribed for the amount which may be
loaned to any one person. firm, or cor
poration, the amount of the overdrafts
is limited, and banks are required to
have prescribed percentages Of cash re-
serve. Especially does the new law
reach after private banks and in Gu
rious way. Unless banks are incorpor-
ated they cannot come under state Su-
pervision. The anticipated result is
that nearly all such private banks and
bankers will incorporate for it is evil
dent those that do not will be at a dis
advantage In seeking patronage.
Never Such Veto Governor.
The governor has vetoed eighteen
measures, thirteen of them from SEN
ators and five bills bearing assembly
mems names. In a number of cases
fresh bills were quickly introduced to
meet the objections of the governor.
OF the fresh enactments, twenty-fouf
have to do with taxation; thirty one
have to do vita schools, thirty-four are
Milwaukee bills, thirty-eight are dam
bills involving water power usually.
Spring Shooting Allowed.
Spring shooting of certain ducks is
allowed for fifteen days, though there
was much opposition. Only salt water
ducks may legally be shot; but who
can tell the difference? The law as
passed absolutely prohibits the sale of
game at any time and under any cir
cumstances, which provision is thought
to be the most effiectual legislation
ever passed il Wisconsin for the pro-
| lection of game. The feeling is that

Value of the Dairy Industry

Dairy Commissioner Wright, of Iowa, in an exhaustive article on the subject of the Dairy Industry points out the fact that there is no one factor in farm operations that has done more to help out the farmers of the country than the dairy COW. Her importance is much greater than at first thought it would seem to be. The growth of the dairy industry in this country has been grad ual but sure, and no backward steps have been taken. "Improved and bet ter cows'' have been the watchwards. Iowa's State Dairy Commissioner, H. R. Wright, points out that the largest sin gle line of agriculture save one, is the dairy. It's products with value of $59O,O0O,0OO is greater than the annual value of hogs sold in the United States, $500, ,OOO; it is greater than the value of all hay and forage, $4S4, ,256, ,S46; it is greater than the value of all the meat cattle slaughtered, $419, 9,455 200; it is greater than the value of all the wheat produced, $369, 9,945, 1920; it is greater than the value of all the eggs and poultry, $2S1, 17S,O35; and it has value almost twice as much as the value of oats, $217,- O9S,5s4; sheep, $50, ,OOO; barley, $4l,- 631 ,762; rye, $12, ,290, ,54O rice, $S, ,OOO, ,OOO, and buckwheat, $5,747 1858, of the United States. It far surpasses the value of cotton, $33O, ,O0O,OOO, and is second only to the value of corn produced, $S2S, ,25S,- 326.
 Commissioner Wright, while correct in the main proposition, must not for get the great mortgage lifter-the Amer ican hog. He is the farmers never fail ing friend-California Cultivator.

Despised Bermuda Grass

The editor of the San Joaquin Valley Farmer has become a convert to the use of the much hated Gin Florida) Bermuda grass. In his paper of October 10th he takes up his pen in defense of this much despised article of growing value" and defends it in the following vigorous lan- guage:
 "The popular prejudice against Der muda grass is something we cannot understand. Being thick, heavy and velvety it is an ideal grass for lawns as we'll as back yards. It does not require one-tenth the care of blue grass, but you will hear tie nonsense of "you can't get rid of it," and it "runs all over." Why should you want to get rid of so hardy and valuable plant as Bermuda? It makes an ideal pasture for both cattle and horses, and is very nourishing as we'll as fattening.
 tAn employe of the Minnewawa vine- yard informed the writer that thirty acres of it on a low piece of land there, has supported one bovine to each acre and few horses besides and all are rolling fat.
 "On a trip to Hanford few days ago, the scribe observed hundreds of acres lying between Goshen and the county seat, heavily impregnated with alkali, producing an indifferent growth of salt grass upon which hundreds of young cattle were eking out bare liv- ing. On the return via the Santa Fe road through Laton and Conejo other hundreds of acres of alxali soils, with it's miserable salt grass contained other hundreds of young cattle just above the starvation point. Now every foot of this land will yield a fine pasture of Bermuda grass. Why this land has not been sown to this splendid pasture grass passed our understanding. We have yet to find the stock raiser or small farmer who has been disappointed in this plant. It will grow and flourish on alkai soils it will withstand drought and excessive moisture alike and, in this climate affords a good pasture all the year round. By all means SOW Ber- muda grass and get rich"

pretending to be deal and suffering
from his wounds, another Indian found
him. He decided there was little more
hair on the dead mans head which
might IS we'll come off, so he repeated
the performance Of the first and took
off some more around the corners.
In the meanwhile other Indians had
placed obstructions on the track From
where he lay Thompson could hear
tie approach of a freight rain carrying
government supplies. He could not
flag it, and he heard the engine crash
into the Instructions. The next mo-
ment the train was a wreck, with the
Indians firing on the train crew.
Then began an orgy which the
wounded man was forced to hear. The
Indians found whisky, with which they
proceeded to set themselves into a
beasty state of intoxication. They
rugged themselves up in calicoes and
woolens which they found on the train.
They then took the still living en-
gineer and firemen and threw them in
to the furnace of the engine.
When darkness came Thompson
managed to crawl away. At Will
low Creek he fell in with a rescue par
ty which had been sent out, and by
which he was taken to Omaha. He
had noticed the scalp lock which had
fallen from the Indians belt, and
when he crawled away he picked it
up.

HOW 1T FEELS TO BE
SCALPED BY AN INDIAN.

There is a man living now in Eng
land who can tell how it feels to be
scalped His hair is now hanging in
the public library in Omaha. That is,
part Of it is there. He has a fringe
around his head still, and another part
may still be on an Indian reservation,
if the Indians are at all careful about
preserving relies of this sort
William Thompson, an Englishman,
Pacific railroad, is the man whose hair
is scattered over two continents. He
IS getting along nicely, with a small
remnant of his original headgear.
Thompson was one of five men who
were sent on hand car CUT Of Omaha
in the early days of the Union Pacific
70 splice up a telegraph wire. It was
IN August, 1861. The railroad only eX-
tended to NCrtll Platte. TIE rest Of
the trip TO Denver was made by stage,
and perilous trip it was. There
lad been trouble along the line and

1t was located near what is now
Central City It was discovered that
the Indians had cut the wire. Scarcely
had the linesmen stopped their car
when they were fired on by a party Of
Cheyenne Indians concealed in the
prairie grass. The men returned the
fire, but, seeing that they were hope
lessly outnumbered, took to their
heels.
Thompson was shot in the arm
While running, and the next moment
one of his pursuers knocked him to
the ground With tomahaWk. He was
stunned but not rendered unconscious
lie had the presence of mind to feign
death, and tie Indians supposed that
all that was necessary was to take
the SCALP. As to what followed,
Thompson says:
with the deftness of an expert the
savage whipped cut his knife AMI
made ineisions around the top of my
head. When he had cut the skin loose
all around. doing it With great speed,
he ierked the hair eff. The sensa-
ton was lust as if red-hot iron had
been touched to my head.
The Indian in his hurry tucked the
scalp lock insecurely in his belt. That
is why it happens to be now in the
Omaha library. Thompson did not
dare to move, and while he lay there,
