POLITICS is CAUSE FOR
BUSINESS DEPRESSION
Vice President HiIand of the MiIwau-
kee Explains Traffic Decrease.

Politics and not a depression in
general business has caused the falling
off in railroad traffic during the past
few months This was the statement
made yesterday by J. H. Hiland, vice
president and general traffic manager
of the Milwaukee. M. Hiland arrived
in st. Paul yesterday and will remain
until Saturday night.
"A presidential year always hurts
business" continued Mr.. Hiland, land
1904 is no exception, although the de-
crease has not been as great as for
merly. The political situation in Illi-
nois and Wisconsin, especially in the
latter state, is none too promising, and
business interests are awaiting the
outcome before taking any steps to
enlarge or expand.
However, the general business con-
dition is favorable. The outlook at
present is for a large grain crop this
year and this will serve to help us
out. After the election in November
there will be general resumption
of prosperity and we will get back to
our old-time baSis''

RAILROAD NEWS
ROCK ISLAND WINS
FIGHT FOR CONTROL
President Stlckney Falls to Sc.
cure Des Moines s Fort
Dodge Property.

According to advices received in St.
Paul. President A B. Stickney of the
Chicago Great Western has lost his
fight for the control of the Des Moines
& Fort Dodge road.
1t is now claimed by railroad Off
Gals that the Rock Island will main
tain it's control Of that line and that
the Maple Leaf will make no further
attempt to annex the property to it's
system.
For the past few years the Rock Is
land has had control of the road. 1t
was rumored in railroad circles that
this control had been lost by the
Stickney interests quietly buying up
enough stock to give them the man
agement of the property. The Stick
ney control was to have been made
manifest at yesterdays meeting of the
stockholders of the Des Moines prop
erty, but when the holders of the stock
met 1t was to adjourn without TAX
ing any action.
The adjournment is supposed to
mean that the Rock Island is stin the
controlling factor and that it will con-
tinue to operate the line as an aux
Hilary road.
Another story in circulation is that
President Stickney really did gain
control of the property, but reached
an understanding with the Rock Is
land, agreeing not to GUST that line.
However, this story found few be-
hevers among railroad officials 1t was
said that if the Stickney interest got
control it would take over the line
and operate 1t in connection with the
Great Western.
Gossip in railroad circles yesterday
was to the effect that although the
Great Western lost it's fight for the
control of the Des Moines line, it has
secured the Des Moines, Iowa Falls &
Northern, thus blocking any attempt
that may be made by the Milwaukee
or any other system to secure a shorter
route between the Twin Cities and
Kansas City than the Great Westerns
line.

hard also. We came direct from Wash

CROOKSTON, Mimi, June 2-It has
developed that Ephraim St.> Pierre, of
this city, member of Col Gotham
Post No. 80, G. A. r., was employed for
two months by Abraham Lincoln. 1t
was in 1859 that St. Pierre happened to
be in the vicinity of the Lincoln farm
at time when it was to be leased, and
the tenant wanted a stretch Of fence
rebuilt, as the old one was in a bad
state of repair. Several men were en-
ployed by Lincoln to split rails for the
new fence, as his railsplitting days
were thing of the past, and st. Pierre
was one of the men.
When the war broke out st. Pierre
enlisted in Company f, Fourteenth
Illinois infantry, and served for three
years. Before marching to the front
his regiment camped near the Lincoln
farm, and one day as he strolled
through the yard with his uniform on
Ltncoln's niece gave him spoon, as
he had been favorite with her while
he was an employee on the farm. This
spoon he carried all through the war,
and it is treasured as a sacred relic.
ST. Pierre is seventy-nine years Of
age.
