the dealers, and are always ready to
answer questions and give any pos
sible information. We will never re-

tee that brand. After getting the
analysis, the manufacturer is very apt
to turn out an inferior grade, and the
next sample we test may be found
adulterated.
The dealer says he has no protec-
ton. What about the public? The
dealer has no protection if he buys
recklessly. The manufacturer knows
what he puts in his products, and he
should be held responsible. Dealers
should refuse to buy food products
unless they are guaranteed, so that
the guilty shall suffer and not the

the manufacturer ourselves, because

WASHINGTON GOSSIP
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building
Washington,

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington
Washington, Jan. .. The Russian
government seems determined to make the
butter industry one Of the prominent fea-
lures of Siberian agriculture, and to that
end is encouraging it in every possible
way. Special rates are offered on the trans
Siberian railway, liberal subsidies are
within the reach of every manufacturer,
prizes are offered farmers for superior
grades of butter, colleges Of instruction
are opened between September and De-
cember of each year, and the government
is developing an export market for the
product in Manchuria.
Up to 1894 no butter for export was
made in Siberia, but at present there are
1000 manufacturers, whose annual output
is over a0,270,0O0 pounds, Of which almost
u third is exported, at a value of $40, 500.-
600. During the summer and fall Man
churia requires about 1O,800,000 pounds of
butter, and that market. together with the
Amur provinces, Japan, the coast Of
China and the Philippines promise to con-
sumo more butter than Siberia can make
for a great many years.

Europe Copies America.

American railway appliances are being
copied in Europe and Asia. First there
was thoro test Of these appliances and
these having proved successful, the equip
ments of several important railways are
to be changed so as to conform to Ameri-
can models. In Bavaria, the government
has decided to construct a large number Of
new locomotives after the model of APP
proved American makes, and in India the
government is preparing to introduce
heavier locomotives and cars, after stand
ard American types These are but two
of number of similar instances. 1t is be-
tlieved that these changes will open up a
larger foreign market for American manu-
facturers of railway supplies than they
have yet had.

CIapp Knew Him.
Senator Clapn Of Minnesota, according
to a story in the Washington Post was in
the house one day and he observed a man
who looked very familiar 'That man
looks just like Milt Daniels of Rochester
when he represented Olmsted county in
the state senate twenty years ago." re-
marked the senator.
Some time later the senator was at the
White House with a Minnesota man and
remarked There's that fellow that looks
like Milt Daniels as he was twenty years
ago"
1T is Milt Daniels replied his connpan-
ion. Then acquaintances were renewed.
Daniels was quite prominent in Minnesota
politics some years ago. Then he went to
California and is now a member Of con-

While here last week T.. e. Byrnes
called on the president several times, but
without discussing patronage with him.
There is a widespread feeling in the state
that Byrnes has good deal to do with
Minnesota appointments, but that feeling
is not shared by the delegation in con-
gress. which is right on the ground and
therefore knows what is going on.
Praise for Goodnow.
l am Informed that the president paid
very high compliment to Consul Cen
eral John Goodnow after the close Of his
talk with him last week. Early in the
day, when Goodnow and Tim Byrnes were
paying their respects to the president,
Byrnes remarked that Goodnow knew all
about the oriental situation.

the president in reply. II meet men of

Coulter, Higgins and Russ were the

the subs played a smashing game.
Vermont played p~luckily, but her men
were too light and could not rush the
ball. She was inferior to Brown in
all departments. In each half Brown
scored three toucbdowns, using the
t%scklebaok formation often for long
gains through the line.
