one has been able to decide to what
species of the fnny tribe this par
ticular fish belongs, but the opin-

matters is that it is a deep sea fish,
cast into the waters of the bay at
Point Isabel, where it was caught.
The fish is quite a curiosity and

to or OTganize and erect an elevator. in
vesting therein their own capital, il
seems fair proposition that they
should be entitled to the same fa6iii-
ties as the line elevators. II would
De just as fair for a farmer To ask
for some special law to protect him
in his agricultural business, where he
Lad invested his money in farm and
improvements thereon, and say that
another farmer should not have the
right to buy and improve the 'ad-
Joining farm and engage in the same
line Of business.
We believe In giving the line eleva
tors the same treatment under he
laws of our state that every irdivid-
ual is entitled to. We are in favor of
treating them fairly and justly, but
we are opposed to granting them any
special favors.
This, in our mind, seems to- be
plain business proposition. OF course
we are not blaming the management
of the line elevators for taking ad-
vantage of opportunities and legisIa-
ton whenever it comes within their
power to do so. The blame seems to
rest upon the agric lltural classes
themselves. When they have within
their power the facilities for handling
their own product, taking into con-
sideration thefact that they also have
she product itself, it seems that the
producer Is entirely to blame when
he allows a corporation to make a
profit off of his labor.
II is an easy matter for the farm
ers Of a neighborhood to take out
their subscription papers, sell their
stock, then call meeting and incor-
rorate, build an elevator, and they
are ready to ship their cwn grain. OF
course, they WILL find in every COM
munity men who are employed by the
grain trust to discourage the farmers
and try to keer them from gcing into
business. " JAS. r. BRADY.

Farmers Elevators

The general condition has become
such that the agricultural classes of
Nebraska are very much agitated over
the question nj shipping their own
produce. The reason for this agita-
tlon seems 10 Re that the line elcva-
tors who have grown rich on handling
the farmers products are taxing too
large percentage of profit.
The line elevators have always sIv-
en- out the impression TO the people
tina. they were losing money on the
buying and shipping OF grain. Thet
their chief objection To the farmer
handling his own product was the
sympathy that they expressed for his
welfare. namely: that ehey did not
want him to Invest his money In ele-
vators and be In danger Of losing IL.
After some investigation. and lit
tie experience. the farmers have dis
covered that wherever lSrm,rs' els-
vators have been constructed. the mar
ket price. for all farm products. has
advanced from TO cents rel bnshel.
Which proves very concluAively 40 the
producing class OF peonie that the
line elevators have been decelvlng
them NIL these years.
Of course. the line eleva.
tors contend that owing To
tue tact that they have invested their
money In elevator plaatA. they arr

Account. Her
VESSELS ARE OUT OF COMMISSION
For the War Russia Has No Means
OF Making the Necessary Re-
pairs to the Disabled
War Ship.

The full extent of the first disaster
to Russia will be more fully compre-
hended when the reader learns that
Russia has no dry dock in Asia. The
damage done by torpedo cannot us
ually be repaired excepting at a dry
dock. Great Britain has great naval
station at Hong Kong wnere European
and American vessels may resort for
repairs in time of peace, but in time
c1s war no neutral port is open for
war ships Of the warning nations.
JAPAN AT HOME
Her naval armament is by no means
Insignificant. Her naval stations are
well equipped. Her navy is efficiently
officered and her men know how 10
shoot. Russia. therefore, engages at
a decided Disadvantage, for Port Ar
thur and Vladivostok are interloched
and Japan controls the open haTbors.
The bear is at bay and the prestige OF
the czar Of all the Russians seems
fated to suffer Meanwhile America
