Perhaps the least affected man in
New Ulm is Koch himself. Hour after
hour he sits in his narrow little cell in
the Brown county jail and whistles,

little else since he was suspected Of the
crime. His sister says that he came
home whistling the night of the murder.

And now, since the grand jury has ac-
cused him of the crime, and has said
that he must stand trial on charge
which means death if found guilty; and
since he has been locked up in a cell,
confined with his own, thoughts, and
since he knows that hundreds Of his
friends now believe him guilty Of the
terrible crime, he continues to whistle.

peculiar temperament remarked one
who has known DR.. Koch for years. IF
he was an ordinary man and was guilty
of such a terrible crime, he certainly
could not be so cheerful and happy. If

other classes of the population and
removing the restrictions upon initia.

crushed out all ambition.
In order to accomplish this he pro-
poses to abolish practically the whole

peasants protection, such as the in

WHEAT COMING HERE.
One Result fthe New 500 Line to
Winnipeg j. J. Hill Planning to
Extend Merger Lines Into Western
Canada - Favors Repeal of Tariff on
Wheat,
Special to The Journal.

Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 19-The ruling
OF Secretary Shaw on the question of
the drawback on wheat is taken here to
mean that henceforth the Western Ca
madam farmer will have two markets
for his grain. 1t is considered likely
that from now on Minneapolis will re-
ceive a certain share Of the western
Canadian wheat crop every year. The
millers and grain interests may not on
the whole be pleased to have any part
Of the crop diverted to Minneapolis,
but the farmers are pleased, for while,
Of Course, Canadian wheat going to
Minneapolis to be milled for export
will have it's prices regulated by that
OF the Liverpool market, just as is the
case with the wheat that goes in the
kernel or -four from here to Liverpool,
still there is likely to be competition
Of buyers that will keep down the mid
dlemen' IS profit and tend to kive the
farmer higher price for his grain
than he would otherwise receive.
1t has been limited that the Canadian
Pacific would practically nullify the
drawback by fixing rates at such a
point as to make expectation of grain
to Minneapolis impossible. No doubt
sire at first to reserve the long haul for
itself, but with the advent Of the 500
radically changed. Moreover at this is
time of the year-after navigation has
closed-the ! Canadian Pacific must
count on the competition of the Cana
dian Northern, which having no rail
outlet to the east naturally looks for
all the business it can get via the
states when it can no longer send ship
ments east from it's Port Arthur termi-
nus. ~
;. 1t will be recalled that the new 500
line from Minneapolis to Winnipeg is
laid with eighty-pound steel. Now
eighty pound steel is not put down on
branch lines. That is the kind of steel
that carries trunk line commerce. The
500 is largely owned and controlled
by the Canadian Pacific. That great
company did not knowingly permit the
500 to waste money on eeighty-pound
senger traffic between the twin NJ cities ties
and Winnipeg. The officers of the
Canadian Pacific took look into the
future two or three years ago and made
up their minds that the time was com
ing when the north and south traffic
would inevitably be heavy one. They
became convinced that sooner or later
in some way the Minneapolis mills
would be able to draw on the surplus
milling wheat Of western Canada.

cities, it was natural that it should
seek to haul every pound of grain
