Mississippi Valley Has No Equal.

Did you ever stop to reflect upon the
magnitude and Importance OF the Mis-
sissippi valley? It is 1890 miles wide
in its widest part, between the Allie
ghanies and the Rocky mountains; it's
length is 1000 miles. and its area
1,250,000 square miles. the noblest, the
fairest, the most productive. as we'll as
the vastest valley on the globe. There
is scarcely, a square mile of all this
great territory that cannot be culti-
waited with profit; there is scarcely an
acre which cannot be made to contrib
ute something to the wealth and well
fare of man. It already contains nearly
70 per cent Of Abe population of the
country. produces rs per cent of its
food productsx Ahd 80 per cent of its
manufactures, and one day. not far
distant, will have within it's limits the
most important cities and industries
and the richest and most influential
population. and will be the financial
industrial and intellectual center of the
World.-Mankato Review.

A PARAMOUNT INTEREST.

It is quite certain that the cause or
good roads will be one Of the principal
topics of debate at the meeting of the
trans Mississippi congress at Seattle.
A widespread interest exists on this
subject in the states of the Pacific
coast, and in Washington in particu-
lar. The farmer is coming to see that
this is his true transportation prob
lem: and such progress has been made
in road Improvement elsewhere and
such demonstrations Of it have. been
given as to point the way to his true
and greatest interest.
1t is unnecessary to repeat here the
statistics that show the enormous loss
es sustained every year by the produc-
ers of this country on account OF bad
roads. 1t is standing charge worse
than all the interest on all the mort
cages; a drain worse than any other
affecting the farmers fortunes. The
Transportation problem as related to
carriage over considerable distances
has been SO far worked out that. the
American people enjoy immeasurably
the cheapest service in the world; and
the forces that have accomplished this
will, if permitted to work, continue the
process of lessening rates.
But the little haul has always been
and still is the costly one. Compare
the cost of.carrying barrel of flour
from the freight warehouse to the sea-
board with the cost of carrying it from
the mill to the station, il it cannot be
loaded on a car direct. Compare the
cost of carrying bushel of wheat
from the elevator to the primary mar
ket with the cost of transporting it
from the farm to the elevator. The
contrast exhibits our need.
The United States is immensely be-
hind other and competing countries in
the character of it's country roads.
Their badness during the greater por-
ton of the year isolates the farm, costs
time and money in reaching the near
est town or village, depreciates the
value of stock and ruins farm wagons,
foots UP big expense bill that would
appall the farmer if he could see 1T
stated in figures. He pays 1t patiently;
now because, though terribly real, it lis,
invisible s;aeos / =
Nothing can add as much today to-
the comfort and prosperity of the far
fner as a complete system of improved
country roads. He is paying, for the
maintenance of the miserable thor
oughfares that cost him heavily IN
other ways besides, as much as he need
for as fine highways as there are in the, the,
world. He is paying, in the ordinary
burden of transit, terrible charge for
an unnecessary hardship. The tanners,
of this country could choose no greater
issue, could in no way add more sensi-
bly, to their profits as well as to the
value of their holdings, than by max
ing the demand for good roads take
precedence of all else.

Stories They Tell

This true story" comes from Win

Winnebago churches, says the Blue
Earth Register. Just before the classes
We're to be excused the superintendent
asked if there was any one present
who would like to make any remarks
or ask any questions. All was still for
a moment, and then a little tot of five
years said: I'D like to speak a piece"
Very well, my little miss, you shall
speak a piece" The little girl walked
slowly down the aisle, and. taking a
position directly in front of the altar,
made a neat bow and said:
There was jolly wobbin who kept his
head abobbin'
AS he gobbled up big fat worm;
And he said: I've eat forty-tWo broth
ers and a half a dozen others,
And golly, how it tickles when they

A CASE oE collie.

There should be no surprise because
of the sharp attack of distress in Wall
street, whose immediate force is prob
ably spent There need be none if the
experience is repeated, as it is likely to
be- more than once during the coming
fall and winter. Investment is suffer-
ing from a sharp case of collie, due to
the attempt to digest a vast mass of
indigestible material. Not until that
has been disposed of will there be en-
tire serenity and comfort.
This phase of the speculative dis
ease was bound to come, and it is for
tunate that it was no longer postpon-
ed. For several years we have been
going beyond our means. The safe
guard is that, on the whole. there has
been pretty sharp line drawn between
the real, solid business of the country,
that engaged in ministering to the
business wants and business activi-
ties of the people, and the get-rich-
quick schemes whose line of action has
been to flood the market with inflated
paper values and realize fortunes by
disposing of them.
The liquidation process began months
ago, but it is necessarily slow. All
these securities based upon imaginary
industrial valuations have to sink to
their level 1t is impossible, in turn,
that this should happen without affect
ing all transactions and, to some ex-
tent, all values. The investing public
does not discriminate nicely; and when
it sees certain line of stocks go turnb-
ling, although the commercial reasons
for the decline may be perfectly evil
dent, it becomes the prey of general
and unreasonable distrust. Hence the
noted decline in the market price of
dozens of stocks that are worth just
as much today as when they were
quoted many points higher, and will
be worth, year hence, as much as
they ever were
A disturbance like this is reflected in
all directions, as a stone cast into wa
ter sends riRples all along the shore.
There is very large business done in
the actual buying and selling of securi-
ties, as well as in trading on margins
and for future delivery. People who
have entered into obligations to sat-
sly which they have counted upon
selling certain stocks in their possess
sion must go into the market and sell,
and add to the general tendency to-
ward break. People who have bor-
rowed on the security of collateral find
it insufficient, and must sell to make
good or find other security. Thus ae-
tual business, altogether outside of the
stock exchanges, does find itself ham
pered and crippled in a time when
speculative, prices are being reduced
by the pressure of that force of gray
ity that rules in the world of finance
as in that of physics

What the Editors Say

Opponents to an appropriation of

for an improvement of the Erie canal
that will admit 1,000-ton barges have
adopted the heroic plan of advocating
as a substitute an appropriation of
$500, 100000 by the national govern
ment for 21-foot ship canal to connect
Lake Erie and Lake Ontario with deep
water in the Hudson. This flank move
ment, says the st: Louis Globe-Demo-

deep waterways are valuable, and in
fact, a necessity of the future.-Wi-

in it's behalf, while worthy of consid-
