LITTLE, BUT Oh MY.
Mosquitoes Stopped a 7oo-Horse
Power Steam Engine.


St. Louis. July 27.-Mosquitoes stop
ped a 700-horse power engine in the
plant of the Pittshurg- Reduction com
pany at Alta Sta. a suburb OF East st.
Louis For several days the engine had
not run smoothly, but Engineer Robin
son could not locate the trouble. Rails
ing steam to an unusual pressure had
no apparent effect, and finally the big
drive wheel stopped dead. Renewed ex-
animation showed that mosquitoes, at
tracted possibly by the oil on the en-
CINE, had been mashed to death on the
CROSSROADS and along the piston runs
until they formed a gummy mass that
even steam pressure could not over
come. The factory now has screens.
Vancouver, B. c., July 27.-One of the
worst plaques of mosquitoes ever suffer
ed by ranches in the Frazer River val
ley now infests that district This sum-
mer the river flooded the lowlands, leav-
ing pools from which were bred millions
of big, fierce mosquitoes that have at
tackled and killed hens. At Mount Leh-
man, a large district protected by dixie
the plague of mosquitoes is so bad that
life is a burden to those compelled to
labor in the open air.

THE Wellington rate is the same as
the Wichita. Mcpherson and Hutchin--
son rates. These rates are taken from
the Rock Island tariff sheet but they
are the same as the Santa Fe, Missouri
Pacific and other rates
THE injustice of these rates is self
evident. The Rock Island hauls a car
load of wheat from Kansas City, 252
miles northeast of Wellington, to Gal
weston for II cents per hundred. The
same train may pick up carload of
wheat at Wellington and the two cars
go through to Galveston coupled to-
gether. But the Wellington car hauled
252 miles less, must pay 41i1c per hun
bred. or 141ac more per hundred than
the Kansas City car.
Both cars of wheat being of the
came grade bring the same price on the
Galveston market. The grain buyer at
Wellington simply has to pay 1412c a
hundred less for the wheat than the
buyer at Kansas City can pay for his.
This 141hc a hundred comes directly out
of the wheat raiser's pocket.
such charges are nothing less than
highway robbery. Yet it is practiced
all over this country. The Wellington
rate is made up by adding the rate
from wellington to Kansas City. 141hc
