Ie sad death of Wylle Christensen

The sad death of Wylie Christensen
by drowning at Kirwin last week IS
only one Of the many catastrophes Of
that nature which occur when a
crowd of light hearted, lusty boys en-
gage in the favorite summer sport,
swimming. The dangers Of this sport
are brought home to all, yet probably
not one Of the Others who accompan-
led the unfortunate boy will have
any greater fears for his own safety
than before. Swimming Is a health
full pleasure, a valuable accomplish
ment, but too much caution cannot
be exercised,

Harmony In the republican party
is mythical. The leaders Of the ma
chine faction continue to plead for it.
At the same time they continue to
strengthen their position in every
possible way, by buying up influential
papers, by promises of patronage and
other methods known and employed
by adept politicians. The cry for har-
mony is only cover for their work.
But the people will catch on. "You
can't foOlall people all the time" The
methods pursued by the machine at
present are what caused the trouble
In the first place. The only way to
produce harmony Is to let the people
rule.

Toronto, Ontsa April 25.-The greatest
effort Canada has ever made TO divert the
enormous grain traffic of the west along
Canadian waterways for shipment from
Canadian ports comes in an announcement
that the Dominion government has decid
ed to remove all tolls on Canadian canals.
Owing to the existence Of these tolls.
which were great source Of revenue to
the government, up to the present time a
very large amount of traffic has gone to
Buffalo for shipments from New DIRK.
With improved elevator facilities at Mont
real, and Quebec, the government now
aims to secure not only all traffic. from
Fort William andSPort Arthur, but even
a large part from Duluth. n 49,
Prefontaine, ministerEotf n1arine,- states
it is the intentioIl Of the government to
leave nothing undone to secure for Ca
madam companies the entirestra from
the west; He pointed out that the aboli-
tion Of tolls had been followed Fan an
nouncen1ent by the WolVin.s syndicate
which had secured a fleet Of ten new
steamers, that their ships from. Toledo and
Duluth would now be run right thru to
Quebec in preference to Buffalo. The rea-
sons for such a course which is expected
to be followed by other companies is eX-
planned by John Bertran1,' member of the
transportation commission, as being due
to lower rates along. all Canadian route.
With, the tonnage available during the
present year it will lbe possible to carry
grain from Fort William to Kingston for
3.05 cents a .bushel and from there to
Montreal for los cents. This with extra
lake insurance and charges at Montreal
would bring the entire cost to 5.S7 cents,
while a 2-cent rate from Fort William to
Buffalo and the Erie canal and New York
terminal charges would make teh cost on
board at New York 6:6S cents. Owing
to the large increase in western traffic
it is believed that there will not be any
difficulty in securing full routing cargoes.

BUFFALO AFTER IT
Would Corral Minneapolis Big Flour In
.--- dustry If Possible.

duStry IT POSSIBLE
Special to The Journal.
Buffalo, April 25.-Millard F. Bowen,
secretary of the manufacturers club Of
Buffalo, has returned from Minneapolis,
where he Investigated the. condition of
flour milling interests to determine if there
is any probability Of transferring a por-
ton of that industry to Buffalo. He says:
|. II. am satisfied Buffalo can have the
manufacturing of flour for eastern and
southeastern markets and for trans-At-
lantic export trade if capitalists Of the
city will take action. The argument for
Buffalo and against the northwest is
simply this: the rate on wheat from the
west to Buffalo is 3 ia cents per hun
dred pounds on flour, 8 cents per hun
dred pounds. The transportation inter-
ests are likely to maintain somewhere
near this proportion Of rate between wheat
and flour, thus making the milling in
dustry more profitable in the east than in
the west. - g- = ::
Millers of the west will probably estab-
lish plants in the east in order to assure
their profits. Buffalo is a point of vantage
In the east for the milling industry for
these reasons: It is the best distributing
point for eastern and; southeastern mar
kets; wheat can be forwarded in boats and
transferred direct to elevators that would
be in connection with mills and the haul
to the Atlantic seaboard is short. -.
It is conceded in the northwest that
the milling industry there is to be the
source of supply for western and south
western markets and for trans Pacific
export trade and that the east will have
to supply eastern and southeastern mar
kets and the transatlantic export trade.
It is owing to the enormous amount of
freight in the country that railroads have
raised rates on -FOUR 5" ~"

PAYNE'S HOME CITY HOPE FOR A PRIMARY
Postof6ee Department Scandal Will

Not Believed, However, That Any of
the Officials Are Tainted
W. ~. With Guilt.

Special to The Journal - ~-r'.-
Milwaukee, Wis, April 25.4--Tl1e postof-
flee department scandal has: resulted in
one Investigation at the Milwaukee post
office where cancelling and other postof-
flee machinery is said to be secreted.
Postmaster Stillrnan received letter from
headquarters asking information regard
ing these machines and the letting. {
contracts for painting mail boxes, al. sed
to have been secured by a ring at a large
profit. r..
Postmaster Stilln1an at once made a re-
ply that the postoffice contained no such
machines and that the mail box painting
contract was let as provided by instruc.
lions from Washington.
It is said the local postoffice inspectors
have been ordered to investigate condi.
tions here independently of the instruc-
tions sent to Mr.. Stillman, but this In.
spector Bird denies. The suggestion O.
a scandal in connection with the Milwau
kee office, MI. Payne's home city, caused
a sensation, but it is not believed here
that any guilt attaches to the local offic
ials. That a thoro investigation will bf
made however, is certain.
