an entire disappointment, the voices were
not well-balanced, the male parts being

such great opportunities, was remarkable

southern states. The $500" extension will
be by far the most important in the north

Which Is Better for the Railways :?

With a fair prospect that the new Elkins
law is going to enforce equality Of all
shippers before the stransportation COM
panies, railway managers will have a
chance to revise their, theories regarding
the relative morris of the big and little
shippers. OF one shipper as against many.
For the last thirty five years the policy
of American railways has been to encour-
age the big shipper. This policy has been
partly Of choice. John D. Rockefeller was
one Of the earliest opponents of the big
shipper theory, and made it the basis @of
his demand and attainment of those IA
vorable railway rates which are. at the
foundation OF the immense, Standard Oil
monopoly.
But even at the moment. Of Mr.. Rookie
feller's victory, not all railway men be
lieved that it was better for the railways
to have one than many shippers. One
of these men was Colonel Potts, presi-
dent of the Empire Transportation com
pany, which handled the Pennsylvania s
oil business. In McClures for March Miss
Tarbell quotes Colonel Potts views of this
question, views which dominated the
Pennsylvania policy until the disasters
of the strikes of 1877 compelled it to bend
the knee to the Standard. Colonel Potts
! held, that, with the same quantity OF
freight, it were better to have 100 ship
pers than one: The one shipper would
have too much power over the railway,
and his shipments would not be so: regular
| in volume as those of the hundred be-
cause there would always be varying opin-
ions among them as to the state Of the
| market. ,"ss-. ......s. -.
| It is generally agreed that the effect OF
the rebate is to reduce the number. OF
shippers through its tendency to drive
out of business shippers who are not able
to get it. If that is true, other things be-
ing equal, level railway rates being re-
stored, competition in many lines will be
encouraged, and the railways will have
a. chance to see for themselves whether
their true interests are with the many
instead Of few. If a fair trial convinces
them that such is the case, there will be
little prospect that rebate-grantlng Will DC

:: esInmune Flax.

The report that the agricultural depart
ment has discovered a species Of flax
that resists the flax wilt fungus is one
that will arouse great interest in the
northwest. Professor Bolley's great work
at the North Dakota experiment station
proved that flax wilt was due to a fungus,
and demonstrated that flax is not a crop
that is especially exhaustive Of soil fer
tility. If now we are to have a species OF
flax that is immune to the fungus, flax
raising in the northwest, and, indeed
throughout the country, will be put~on a
new basis. Notwithstanding the fungus
flax can be successfully grown even or
''flax-s sick land at long intervals, but the
period of rotation is too great to make II
indefinitely an important crop. But with
a. plant that is immune to the fungus the
crop may be as steadily grown as wheat
and the yield may be increased from veal
to year in such a state as North Dakota
This news about flax Is as interesting tt
the Canadian northwest as to the north
western states, because the list Of crops
that can be profitably grown there is
smaller than with us, and to have tt
eliminate such profitable crop as fa1
would be great misfortune. 81 s:--E "a g.
OF course, it is. a little early. to do much
rejoicing over the reported discovery, bu
if it shall turn out later that an an IMMUNE
