AMERICAN AND
RUSSIAN OIL

The production of petroleum OF
the United States now exceeds
that of Russia. The exports for
April from the United States
shows that the world is taking our
oil at prices which net large prot
its to the Standard Oil company
and very little to the producers.
The quotations made for the pur-
pose of reducing or advancing
crude prices as the case may De,
have little or no bearing on the
real prices obtained for export
products of petroleum. The quo
tations made possibly have some
hearing on the sales made by IN
dependent refneries who are sand
Tn follow them in their sales to
the Pure Oil company and other
dealers abroad. Just at present
the Pure Oil company and the IN
dependents seem to be one OF the
marks at which Standard guns are
aimed. If one may judge from
published reports of pipe line re,
ceipts, shipments and stocks ana
from Government reports OF ex,
norts, the business cannot be SAID
to be in highly prosperous con-

office of Sheriff is, perhaps, the

Iknew that would be ridiculed

would be called a "fake," a
"humbug" and a "grafter"-and
I have. But 1 am more firm in my
convictions than ever, for 1 have
accomplished results, and have
cured one or more patients who
were suffering from some one OF
the above arrangements.
Do not judge me by words, but
by my works, and that person
who persists in saying that Il

as I will produce the people whom
I have treated and let them speak
for themselves.
If you are suffering from any
of the above ailments or from any
nervous troubles, do not be pref
udiced by what you may think,
but remember I give you a writ
ten guarantee to cure in a certain
period or refund your money. Do
you know Of a representative OF
any other method of treatment

Remember, also, that 1 am not

WONT PAY FOR CATTLE
STATE AUDITOR UNCERTAIN AS
TO AUTHORITY IN CASES OF
CONDEMNED STOCK.

State Auditor Iverson has held up
bills for the compensation of owners
of horses killed for CHAMBERS, and cows
condemned for tuberculosis. Until he
is satisfied as to his authority, no more
bills Of this character will be paid.
Mr.. Iverson had conference on this
question with Judge Daniel Fish Of the
statute revision commission. He is of
the belief that the Krostue bill provid-
ing compensation in such cases, which
was passed at the session of 1908, was
repealed by the bill creating the state
live stock sanitary board, which. passed
later in the session. This point was
raised when the latter bill was up for
passage, but its friends contended that
it's repeating clause would not touch
the Krostue bill. The revision commits
sion is convinced that it does, and will
therefore leave the Krostue bill out of
the revised statutes.
The act creating the state live stock
sanitary board provides for the con-
demnation of animals having conta-
gious diseases, but does not provide for
compensation to the owner unless a
post mortem shows that the animal was
not diseased.

PORTO RICANS HATE Us
MISS WAHLSTEDT, A RETURNED
MISSIONARY, SAYS THEY RE-
SENT AMERICAN "INVASION."

Tho the United States has brought
many improvements to the Porto
Ricans, they are hated by the natives,
who frequently show their resentment
Of the American Invasion says Miss
Annatte Wahlstedt, missionary in
the island under the Lutheran general
council, who is visiting in Minneapolis.
"The natives, continued Miss
Wahlstedt, "live in abiect poverty
and it is due, to some extent to the
American government. The price of
foodstuffs has risen enormously and the
American currency has drivels out the
small Spanish coins which the natives
used in bargaining. The Americans
have brought the public schools, street
cars and sanitary improvements, which
are Of vast help to the island, but do
not supply the necessities Of .life''
Miss Wahlstedt had an experience in
Catano, town not far from the coast
which nearly cost her her life. The
inhabitants were celebrating twenty
day feast in honor of the Virgin Car.
men. Miss Wahlstedt protested that
Carmen was not a divinity and could
not hear their prayers. The crowd
became furiously enraged and she was
saved only by the help of the police
She was afterward taken before q

breaking the peace, the plotters still
declared that she had insulted theil

Ottawa, Can, Aug. 5.-A system of
railways which, when joined together,
will form a continuous stretch from
the Rocky mountains to the Atlantic
coast was consolidated today. The
western system ends at Port Arthur,
at the head of Lake Superior.
Negotiations have been going on
for some time to purchase the Cana
da Atlantic road, which connects the
waters of Georgian bay with the Great
Northern Of Canada, having it's ter
minus at Quebec.
This afternoon plans were filed with
the railway department for building
the Quebec, New Brunswick & Nova
Scotia railway from Quebec thru
Maine, New Brunswick and Nova SEQ
tia on to Country Harbor, los miles
east Of Halifax. This charter is
owned by Mckenzie & Mann. Coun-
try Harbor is one Of the finest on the
American continent. When the few
links of load are completed in this
chain Of roads, Canada will have, in
the Canadian Northern, it's third

| Mckenzie & Mann are carrying coal
from their mines in Cape Breton to
| Port Arthur for use on their western
| railway system and taking back iron
ore for the Sydney works.
