The Wood Buffalo.

Governor Herried Of South Dakota

continent where there are buffalo
whom no one can claim. Reference is

The state. board of health took drastic
palities in Minnesota that drain their sew
age into rivers, streams or lakes by arti-
fetal means to install septic tanks or filter
beds. The increase Of population makes it
necessary to take this step. In q thickly
settled country there is great danger from
such diseases as typhoid fever unless the
whole water supply is pure. 1t is almost
impossible to assure purity unless the
greatest care is taken to prevent germ
bearing drainage from entering rivers or
lakes.

Mr.. Lowry who has just returned from
New York, says that the stories of oppo-
aggerated, and furthermore, that most
of the anti-Roosevelt talk, he is satisfied,
comes from democratic sources. That the
democrats should seek to prevent the
nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt is quite
natural They know his strength with the
people as well as anybody, and they
know, too, that his defeat by the polti-
clans would probably mean the defeat of
the republican party, so why should they
not be active in attempting to create the
impression among republicans that there
is dissatisfaction with Roosevelt and try
to secure his defeat in the convention, If
possible?

g A FRIENDLY UNDERSTANDING
What the Agreement as to Flour
Traffic Amounts To.

In regard to the report that the IN
terstate commerce commission would
investigate the traffic of the Twin City,
Chicago lines to discover whether
there is any cutting of rates or giving
of rebates, a Chicago traffic man says:
do not believe there has been any
strife between the lines from Minneapolis
over flour traffic. or that there has been
any violation of the law as to rate-cuttlng.
On the contrary, the statistics OF Hour
ira fife from Minneapolis indicate that the
ra ilroads, while not illegally pooling tho
business, have a friendly understanding
regarding -four traffic, whereby the weak
er lines are given an undue share OF thar
because Of conditions which make 1t I'M
possible for them to get a large per-
centage of other kinds of freight.

The Rate Refused.

A conference of the Progress
i've Union, representatives of the
Standard Stove Works, of Fort
Payne, Ala, and officials of the
Southern Railway was held in
this city last Thursday night at
the Office of the union. The lat
ter was represented by the
president and secretary, the
stove company was represented
by its president, Mr.. Saunders
and the railroad ompany was
represented by L. Green, assist
ant general freight agent of At
lanta, Geo Browder, division
freight agent of Birmingham and
J. L. Cox local freight agent of
this city.
The matter before these gen
tlemen was the granting to Co
lumbus of rates on pig iron and
finished stock with view of To-
eating the plant of the stove com
pany here. Fort Payne where
the plant is at present located
has a rate of Scots per ton on
pig iron from Birmingham and
16cts per hundred or $2160 per
car on finished stoves to Bir
mingham. Columbus asked that
the Southern grant a rate Of 70
cts. per ton on pig iron to this
city, the same rate enjoyed by
Chattanooga, which is II miles
further than Columbus from the
shipping point, and CORES
ponding reduction on stoves to
Birmingham.
The whole situation was gone
oyer ard considered and the
outcome was that the road agreed
to give Columbus a rate of S1.10
on pig iron aid 19cts. per hun
dred On stoves 10 birmingham
from this city in car load lots,
the latter rate bel g about one
hundred per cent higher than
the rate from Ft. Payne.
The rate offered by the rail
road is practically prohibitory
and unless some solution Of the
problem is assured it i more
than probable that Colnmhns
will lose his. enterprise. Mr..
Sanders gave the local repreSen-
tativ' until June 1st.. 10 arrap pc
the rate and the union as well
as many Of our most Influential
citizens are working ON the mat.
ter with a view of effecting a
compromise.
