Now that we are to have an interna-
tional return postal card, the next step
will be to get an international postage
stamp. This was proposed to the Postal
Congress at Vienna in 1891, by the United
States delegates, but was voted down.
Since then nothing has been done. Now
1t is time to agitate it again.

This shows that an ordinary fire

Taxed and no attention is paid to the

age has been reported.
One is apt to wonder why more corn
is not planted in this vicinity, especial
ly when it is a well-known fact that
corn will grow and mature here, and
that for feeding cattle and hogs it is
the most profitable crop that can be
raised. AS the corn belt has advanced
to the north all are aware of the fact
that the belt skirting the Missouri
river has held the lead over the terri
tory farther back. for many miles, and
at present there are but few sections
of the state where it cannot be ma
tured. Last year in Emmons county
as high as 80 bushels of good orn to
the acre was harvested, and as the
years go by it is safe to say that corn
will be the chief crop of the Missouri
slope, as it is today in parts of Mime
sofa where 30 years ago a man would
have been called crazy if he mentioned
such a thing.

UNLAWFUL TOBACCO COMBINATION

THE BLOCKADE RAISED
This is Venesuela's Condition Pre-
cedent to Formal Institution OF
Negotiations.

Washington, January 21.-Raising
the blockade is Venezuela's condition
precedent to the formal institution of
negotiations with the powers for a
settlement of their claims. Her repre-
sentative, Minister Bowen, has pre-
sented this proposition to the represen-
tatiyes to the allies here and it has
been cabled to the foreign offices at
London, Berlin and Rome. Little pro-
gress can be made pending the re-
ceipt of the answers, which 1t is eX-
pected will be in the nature OF a. joint
reply and may not reach Washington
for several days.
Considerable reticence is being main
tanned by the negotiators as to the
preliminary steps and they are averse
to discussing the nature of Venezuela S
initial proposition, until reply to 1t
has been made. 1t is understood. how
ever, that in asking that the block
ade be lifted. Minister Bowen let 1t be
understood that he was in position
to offer a suitable guaranty for the
payment of the just claims OF the
allies. He did not state, however, What
this surety was and it is expected the
reply of the powers will be in the ma
ture of counter proposition that
Venezuela agree to a settlement OF the
claims arising from the injuries done
to foreign citizens in Venezuela.
It developed today that Minister
Bowen's powers include jurisdiction
over the claims of all foreign coun-
tries. Castro having authorized him to
negotiate through the representatives
at washington with all the powers
having claims against his country. NC
active steps, however, will be taker
until the preliminary difficulties have
been cleared away.

ANTITRUST LEGISLATION
So Far as 1T Relates to Railroads
EIiSins.

Washington, January Ex-senator
Elkins today introduced a bill which
covers the features of antitrust legis-
lation so far as it relates to railroads.
It contains the provisions which have
heen recommended by Attorney Cen
eral Knox, as to the punishment Of
those who receive as we'll as those who
give rebates 1t provides for the pun
ishment of corporations by fine instead
Of Imprisonment of the officials: also
for injunctions to prevent discrimina-
tions.
The Elkins bill Is the result Of con-
ferenCeS among various senators, most
of them being members of the inter-
state commerce committee. Its pur-
nose is to separate Interstate COM
nerce and railroads from other trust
legisla ton.
The Interstate commerce commits
sion has been unable to agree upon
measures which have been pending be-
fore il relating to pooling and fixing
rates by the Interstate commerce COM
mission. The new bill leaves these con-
tested questions out and covers fea-
lures which have been most conSpicu-
Gus in the preparation of antitrus,
legislation.
The bill was referred to the commit.
tee on Interstate commerce of which
Senator Ell<ins is chairman and it is
the intention of the committee to take
! II up at an early date. Among those
who have been consulted in the pre-
| paration of the bill besides Mr.. KnoJ
were Senators Aldrirh, Cullum, For
| aker, Clapp and others
