No Return Passes

If will be of interest to many of our
readers to know that the Southern Pa
ci6c and Santa Fe railroads have an
nounced officially that after JAN l.
tool there will be no more return TRIP
n,sses issued to stockmen going with
sbipments of cattle. The persons who
are actually in charge of stock will re-
ceive their fare going, but will have to
nav for the return trip. We under
stand that this plan is also being taken

HOLIDAY SEASON IN DEhING

In the second and third races he was
not so successful, G. Upton winning
both.
The second day dawned clear and
beautiful and the crowd grew steadily
and never lost interest in the proceed
'ngS' The principal attractions of the
DAY were two ball games between the
Fort Bayard and the Yellow Kids in
which the Kids came olr victorious as
usual The score OF the first game
was % to > the result of the second %
to ?, In the evening a grand ball was
gwen by the Knigh,s Of Pythias at the
II uYey house which was attended by
a large crowd and was one Of the
leading events Of this week. The
grand march was led by Mr., and Mrs.
II. II. Williams and participated in by
about 30 couples.
On Saturday the great event of the
season, the roping contest, came off.
There were number of entries and
both those who understand the sport
and those who went for the first time
to see the manner in which wild cattle
are handled on the range were on the
ground soon afternoon and the interest
never Jagged until the last steer was
turned loose.
1t was an interesting spectacle II,
there was some SkilIiul work done b,
both men and horses the latter show
ing in some instances nearly the sam
knowledge and skill in the work u
their masters. An exceptional ins,anc
of this was in the case of the anima
ridden by A. l.. Foster. In lhrowin
the steer the first time, an unfortunat
side run threw horse and rider to tn
ground and the steer got up before h
could be tied, and in the second pull tn
saddle was turned on his side, yet tn
faithful horse stuck to his work an
held TIE steer until his master tied
, and led him up to loosen the rope. I
! our mind this was one of the mo-
striking features of the entire eXhb
tion. The first prize went to Thorn;
, Brown, whose record was 80 second
Ernest Mayfeld took the second al
was closely followed by Frank Wa

the Algerian Morocco frontier are now

POTTER is one of the most cool headed
diplomatic officers in the French navy,
and has been successfully employed in
such critical cases as European inter-

commanded the French naval force
during the boxer trouble in China.
The understanding between the
powers is so complete that not the
slightest fear Of possible complica-

TO KEEP EGGS FRESH.
London Lancet Says Simple Process
Will Do 1t.


According to the London Lancet the
change in an egg from a fresh to a
stale condition is partly due to loss
OF moisture and partly to disturb
ance of equilibrium caused by exter-
nal agencies" This can be avoided,
and the eggs kept fresh, that scien-
tific journal alleges, by simply coating
the shell with grease as soon as it is
laid and before 1t has time to cool.
Eggs treated in this way, the Lancet
declares, are so well preserved months
after they are laid that they cannot
be distinguished from ones newly
presented by the hen. 1t is also de-
clared that eggs can be kept fresh for
six months by dipping them cs soon
as they are taken from the nest in a
strong solution of silicate of soda,
which stops up the pores of the shell
and Theoretically seals the egg. If
ali egg once gets cold it is of no use
to treat it after these recipes, for 1t
will then be past preserving and age
will surely render it unfit for anything
but bad actors and unpopular spell
binders.

Why Coal Is Hiqh.

There is much growing about the
high price of soft coal. 1t costs no
more to produce soft coal than 1t did
last year; then why should the price
be higher?
This question is asked with much
iteration by people who in their own
business would put up prices without
conjunction under like conditions.
Why is soft coal higher than 1t was
year ago?
Because those who have it to sell
can get more for it.
Why can they get more for it?
Because there is a scarcity of fuel
resulting from the strike of the an
thracite miners.
Here we come upon a principle
which is familiar to all dealers, and
in fact to almost everybody who buys
and sells at all.
When there is scarcity of any ar
ticle that Is in demand that article
goes up in price, without regard to
it's cost, in proportion to the urgency
of the demand.
1t makes no sort of difference what
causes the scarcity. 1t may be
strike, failure of crops, a protective
tariff shutting off competition from
without, or any other calamity; the
effect is the same.
Those who have the article in which
there is shortage from any cause put
up the price, though they may be able
to produce the article at the same
cost.
Everybody can see this where the
cause of the shortage is anything but
a tariff barrier shutting out the article
which is scarce.
Multitudes have so long been COM
PEELED by this protective" barrier to
pay famine prices that such prices
seem to them matter of course.
If they could have free trade for q
while they would be able to see easily
that a system of protective duties of
25 to 100 per cent is no less a calam-
ity tina. crop failure or coal strike.

ARMY AND NAVY COLONY,
Reason for Gathering in the Capital al
WASHINGTON.

Reason for Gathering In the Capital at
Washington.
Army officers detailed to the Philip
pines and Porto Rico and navy officers
going away on long cruises make
practice of sending their families to
Washington to remain during their
absence. In this way a great colony
OF army and navy folk has been estab-
lished in the national capital. The
advantages of locating wives and chill
dren there are several. Washington
has splendid schools and the boys and
girls receive the best education free.
The families are near the department
and can draw their share of the Off
GERS pay and in case anything should
happen to him would have the SYM
pathetic aid of the officials. The heads
of the bureaus of the war and navy
departments keep watchful eye upon
the families of the men who are sup
porting the flag in distant seas. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is sympathetic, and
any army or navy officers wife who
has occasion to approach the Presi-
dent can find ready audience with
him.

ness in adopting European ideas and
following too implicitly the sugges-
lions of his Scotch adviser, Caid Mac
Lean. A parallel is drawn between
this uprising of Bou Hammara against
Sultan Abdul Aziz with the Egyptian
revolt Of Arabia against Khedive New

NEED NO NEW LAWS
CONG r z sSi oNAL PALAvER
MEANT TO DECEIVE.
All Courts Have Upheld the Right Of
the National Lawmakers to Enforce
the Sherman Law-TaIked.of Legls.
alton a Mockery.


There is pending in the United
States Senate joint resolution for
an amendment to the constitution
giving Congress certain powers over
trusts.
The proposed amendment gives
Congress power to define, regulate,
prohibit or dissolve trusts, monopolies
or combinations, whether existing in
the form of q corporation or other
wise;" also to license, regulate and
control all corporations engaged in
trade, commerce or other business
among the several states or with for
eign nations"
The effect of proposing such an
amendment, so far as it has any eff
feet, is to make people believe that 1t
is impossible for Congress and the
States to regulate and restrain COM
bines so far as they ought to be reg
ulated and restrained under the con-
stitution as it stands.
If people can be made to believe
that they can, of course, be made to
believe that Congress will be entire
ly excusable If it makes no attempt
to perfect the Sherman law. And this
evidently is precisely what whole
platoons of great statesmen want to
have people believe.
But the courts of the United States.
from the lowest to the highest, have
decided that Congress has power to
do everything it has assumed to do in
the Sherman law.
The Supreme court has, indeed, de-
cided that the law does not apply to
any business conducted wholly within
any state of the union, and it has been
inferred that Congress could not touch
anybody producing goods in state
even If the goods were shipped to
other states or abroad, thus becoming
subjects of interstate commerce.
Attorney General Knox, however, in
his Pittsburg speech knocked the bot
tom out of this inference. He pointed
out that the power of Congress to reg
ulate interstate and foreign commerce
applies no less to the subject-matter
of that commerce than to the persons
engaged in it.
1t follows that Congress may deal
with trust-made goods the moment
they enter into interstate or foreign
commerce. The fact that the act of
manufacture is necessarily local does
not protect the goods wnen they pass
beyond the limits of the state where
they are made.
There are two things that can be
done without waiting for a constitu-
tional amendment or for the next con-
gress to meet.
The Sherman law can be amended
in the manner indicated by Mr.. Knox.
That is one thing. The administration
can also proceed to enforce the Grim
inal side of that law. Hitherto 1t has
only enforced the injunction side of it,
and that in only very few cases and
with little effect.
Senator Nelson must have known
this when he introduced bill, in ad-
dition to his constitutional amend
ment, to amend the Sherman law by
prescribing additional and severer
penalties.
What mockery this is, when no at
tempt is made to inflict the penalties
already prescribed!

They Are Cheek by JowI.

Legislation is in the absolute con-
troll of the Republican leaders. Moth
ing goes without their consent. Hence
the suspicion that the anthracite duty
was imposed and will be retained
with their approval. The coal mag
mates publicly reproach the politicians
for their efforts to end the strike, but
evidently in private they hold ami
cable relations with the Republican
leaders.

Money for Monopoly Hunting.

The house has actually adopted an
antitrust amendment! A bolt from
the blue would be less startling. The
explanation is found in the fact that
the amendment only involves the ex-
penditure of money. "The flag and an
appropriation" has ever been an in
spring cry. However short" the
house-and the senate likewise, for
that matter-may be on constructive
legislation, it is always long on meas
ures taking money out of the public
treasury. 1t is more blessed to give
money than to receive bills requiring
serious and honest consideration.

Trade With the Philippines.

Free trade with the Philippines
might as well have been voted as the
beggarly imposition of 25 per cent of
the Dingley duties, but free trade has
a sound that causes the protectionists
a palpitation of the heart-and then,
again, the very modern idea must be
maintained that new possessions can
bo American territory for some pur-
poses and foreign territory for others.
