Control of Pacific.
Control of the Pacific. and the vast
traffic that is growing up between the
Western ports and the markets Of Asia
is'no small matter 1t means the van
gushing of tremendous competition,

dollars and some of the most powerful
ships money can buy. Yet it is not a

powerful ships. 1t is Question of ton.
mage and cheap freights. 80
A clearer idea of what Mr.. Hill him
self admits serious problem is gained
from the fact that it will be necessary
for him to compete with all the lines
out of Seattle, Tacoma and the Golden
Gate. These lines have many of them
been years in the trade. They have
vast fleets of ships and powerful land
traffic allies. II is for this reason that
Mr.. Hill. in seeking the control of the
growing Asiatic trade, made big ships
his weapons in the contest. Big ships,
carrying at proportionately smaller
cost the traffic pouring out of the PACT
fic ports obtain the one advantage open
against the established lines.
There were good reasons for making
the Minnesota and Dakota $4,000 ton
ships. Had they been smaller they
would have been merely the equals and
not the superiors of competing ships.
What these competing ships are is
shown by the following table giving
the tonnage of the largest ships in the
trade Mr. Hill seeks. on the Pacific.

piece of leather strap imbedded in
the middle of a limb of boxelder
which was recently detached from
the parent tree. Evidently an au-
CUR hole had been made in the tree
limb for the purpose of hitching
horse and the strap becoming brok.
en- at some time years ago, the brok-

the wood and bark grew over it and
remained in good state of preser-
vation until exposed by the break.

1t ia a great convenience in driv-
ing through the country to see the
names of the farmers on their mail
boxes by the roadside. The man
should be personally identified
with the place he farms. Even if
there is no business to transact
with the farmer at the time or in
the future the passer-by takes an
interest in this place or that as he
sees the natural beauty, improve
mente, manner of farming and
keeping up the premises, the flocks,
herds, ETC., and he would like to
know who is responsible for that
sort of place. He may meet the
farmer in the future, see his name
in print or hear it mentioned and it
will increase interest in both the
farm and farmer to be able to asso-
ciate the two. AS the paint wears
off the mail box the owners name
becomes too dim to read and should
be renewed in plain black letters.-

unable to reach a working basis with
which both sides would be satisfied,
and the conference adjourned without
progress. Whether the difficulty can
be satisfactorily settled at today's
meeting is problematic, as both the
packers and the strikers snaintain that
they are living up to Wednesdays
agreement for a settlement by arbitra-
ton and that it is the other side that
responsible for the renewal of hostil-
lies.
After the adjournment committee
appointed for the purpose merely an
nounced that the peace negotiations
had failed, but that there was still
hope that an agreement could be
reached in the near future. No written
statement of what transpired in the
meeting was given out, as has been
customary at former conferences, and
the committee declined to give any fur
Their informal ton except that another
meeting would be held.
1t was learned, however, that the
obstacle which prevented a settlement
of the strike was the fact that the
strikers had made new demands on
the packers. When the first strike was
settled on an arbitration basis it in
clude d a provision that the strikers
were all to be reinstated within forty
five days. After the renewal of the
strike Donnelly demanded that all the
strikers be reinstated within ten days,
instead of forty-five, as provided in
the original agreement.
This the packers refused to do, al
leging that they had lived up to their
agreement and that as no discrimina-
ton in the rehiring of the men
had been meant the strikers should
abide by the agreement which was
signed by all Of the butchers unions,
and also by the allied trades unions at
the yards, who were at the conference
and took part in the proceedings
which led up to the arbitration agree
ment decided on last Wednesday night
The question of reinstatement has
all along been the one point on which
It was impossible to reach an agree
ment. Both sides seem determined to
maintain the stand they have taken
and unless one or the other offers some
sort of compromise tOday's confer
