This generation is not the first one
that has had the trust scare. Accord
ing to the Chicago Tribune, thirty
years ago new national constitution
was demanded at Washington because
the corporations were growing too
powerful and the country had too
much prosperity for the constitution
to control. The constitution seems to
be all right yet, however.

An electric railway, chiefly for
freight business, but which will
carry passengers, is to be
built from Duluth to the Gulf of Mex
leo. John w. Gates and leading
capitalists of the twin cities" and
the east are identified with the enter
prise. Mr.. Gates is said to be the
real head. The estimated cost will
be $40, 900, 900. There will be a
double track, and the route will be
through the ''twin cities" to Des
Moines, thence to ST. Louis and on to
the gulf. The company will be
known as the Texas, Iowa and Mime
sofa Electric Railway Company.
Thomas Lowry of Minneapolis, presi-
dent of the 500 Railway and of the
Twin City Rapid Transit Company,
and ex-senator W. B. Washburn are
among those connected with the enter
prise. There will be separate com
pany in each state through which the
line passes. Later these will be con
solidated into one large company.
The road will furnish new gateway
to Europe for the vast exports of thu
West and Northwest, and the great
railway combines now existing will b,
at least partly broken, so far as con
troll of the transportation situation il
concerned.

1t is believed that the pearl button
industry in Iowa is soon to be mer-
gerized and consolidated. Rumors to
that effect have been common some
time. Now new companies are being
formed with large capital and others
are enlarging, and the signs indicate
that a consolidation will be effected
at no distant date. The industry has
been growing enormously in recent
years and the next report of the state
labor commissioner will present some
startling figures.

FOREST RESERVES.

The forest reserves of the United
States are established by proclama,
ton of the president; the total area
Of land thus set aside is 46,S2S, 449
acres, distributed in fourteen states
and territories. The object of reserv.
ing these tracts of woodland is not
only to preserve the forests, which
are being rapidly cut or destroyed by
fire, but to insure their permanence
and increase their value by scientific
care and cutting. 1t is also of the ut
most importance, especially in the
west, where water is necessary for ir-
rigation, to keep the sources of the
streams properly forested in order to

ADVICE TO NEW MEXICO.

Everybody is giving advice to this
territory, and the following is from the
st. Louis Globe democrat:
President Roosevelt told the people
of New Mexico when he was there a
few days ago that they ought to use
their best endeavors to reclaim all the
arid lands, and to do this at the earli-
est practicable moment. New Mexico
is neal the center of the arid region.
There can be no doubt at all that there
will be room in that big territory for
200 600 or 10000 900 people just as
Don as it's lands are rendered fit for
cultivation. Irrigation Is its great need.
as the president pointed out. Naturally
the sooner this is had the better it will
be for the people of that locality.
irrigation would bring an thrush of
settlers from the rest of the west and
from Europe, and this. of course,
would insure admission to statehood
very quickly. The old Mexican element
of the population of the territory would
soon be put far in the minority If there
should be an influx Of settlers from
the rest of the country. The thing
which would bring this condition
would be irrigation. New Mexico's
mines alone will not give that territory
anything like the number of people
which it will need in order to place 1t
among the great and progressive com
munities of the west. Agriculture
would do this, and agriculture on any
large scale is impossible in the terri
tory as a whole under present condi-
tons.
The national irrigation act, which
was passed in 1902, and which receiv.
ed President Roosevelt's signature, is
capable of accomplishing much for
New Mexico, as well as for the whole
of the arid region. Let the people OF
that locality arouse themselves to the
Importance of assisting the govern
ment's agents in the work of reclaim
much toward bringing the change in
conditions which will make their con
munities desirable places for the set
Element of farmers and fruit raisers.
The country is interested in diverting
to its own idle acres the ems of thou
sands of Americans from the middle
west and the far west who are now
drifting across the border into Canada
every year, and irrigation will do this.
New Mexico's salvation, in a very de-
cided degree, is in>the hands of its own
citizens"

TAKING THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

The Davenport Qowa) Leader thus
calls attention to n of the great evils
of our land system: 1T will be but a
short time at the present rate until
there will be no more arabic land in
the public domain. About twenty mil
lions a year are being disposed of in
various ways and only four or five
years supply at this rate remains. If
this meant that the government lands
were being secured for homes by &C
tual settlers 1t would be a pleasing
statement. Unfortunately, the contrary
is the case. Most of the lands which
are now being sold are acquired by
great corporations that manage to
evade the plain intent of the law. The
great cattle-feeders and the timber
men are getting the best of the land
for a mere song and are taking 1t out
of the market. so that the settlers will
soon be barred and great ranches will
remain, to the detriment of the com
monwealths which need an increased
population"

There are some papers and some
men who maintain that the president
cannot make a speech. The only
speaker who is worthy of being listen
ed to is the n who can both inter
est and instruct his audience. Judg-
ing by this standard the president is
one of the most effective speakers in
the world, because he never fails to
interest his hearers and he never fails
to give them some valuable ideas
which tend to make people and com
munities better.

Many American diplomats deplore
the fact that when attending political
functions in the countries to which
they are accredited, they have to wear
the plain black evening dress of an
American gentleman. If they can ever
get a suit like the one Mr.. Bearrup

and gave to President Roosevelt when
here, the other day, it will put all the
cinches and girths, gold braid, etc.
ever worn by any foreigner so far in
the shade that America will take the

FLEW HIGH FOR A WHILE.
Negotiated for a Ranch at $4,000 But
Could Not Raise $50.

A few days ago w. A. Louks, of
Pittsburg, Pa, registered at the Shelby
hotel in Roswell. Shortly thereafter
the rumor was current on the streets
OF the town that Louks had purchased
the l.. F. ID. ranch near that place. The
ranch contains about 1,125 acres of
land and the purchase price was stated
to be $15O.000. Louks said that his as
sociates in the east and he would
put considerable money in the enter
prise and would raise nothing but
high grade cattle.
The people Of Roswell regarded
Louks with a feeling akin to reverence
for it was felt that his presence and
purchase of the property in question
meant much to the town. The land
lord of the Shelby hotel did not have
as much faith in the capitalist as some
of the citizens and when Louks left for
Captain without paying his board bill,
which had reached the sum total of
500, mine host had a warrant issued for
Louks although the latter had stated
that he was going to the town to look
after his mining interests there and
would return shortly. Louks was over
hauled about twelve miles out of Ros-
we'll and taken back to town by a con-
stable. His bond was fixed at 5000 but
some of the business men signed his
bond and paid his board bill. They did
not want the capitalist to be discour.
