The county road commissioners
have abandoned the idea of grading
the cutoff from the Bower farm to
the Chicagon hill and to that end are
grading and graveling the old road
across the plains The commissioners
claim that they are doing what is
best for the county and without any
data at hand we are not able Go dis
pute their claim. However, there are
other things than few dollars ox-
pense TO look at In the building
ofany permanent WORK and one OF
the most important in the road line
Is the development Of the country.
The land adjacent to the cutoff, es.
pecially 10 the south OF 1t Is much
more promising than that on the
sand plains. For that reason we
would like 60 see the road put
through. Cryytal Falls wants set
tlersand roads are what Will bring
settlers.

adoption OF the plans plus 80 per cent

No more equitable proposition could
be devised and the new plans with
these improvements will commend
themselves TO every thinking man who

The supreme lodge has now provided
that any member paying assessments

consecutive years OF membership on
such plan, may cease paying assess
ments and have his certificate en-
dorsed for the amount OF paid up
protection that 30 per cent OF the ac-
cumulated reserve will pay for. In
order TO take advantage OF this option
he must, OF course, pay his lodge dues
and other necessary charges TO main
tain his fraternal membership. At his
death his beneficiary will receive the
amount for which his certificate is in
dorsed.
Under the revised plan this option
can be taken at any age after three
years membe ship.
Any member on the level plan MAJ
also, after three consecutive years OF
membership on that plan, cease paying

An effort is now being made 10 secure
an adjustment OF wire prices, but its
success seems problematical.
The entire trade has been in tur-
moil over recent developments, and
naturally buyers withhold orders ex-
cept for urgently needed material.
The concessions FOR some time made
on plates are still heard OF, and the
amount OF business taken by large
structural interests at figures plainly
based on less than the agreed price,
is a continued menace TO peace in the
beam pool. The talk of lower prices
on steel bars IN consequence OF the
cuts in billets Is founded on nothing
definite as yet. Current specifications

HOW TO FIND OUT.

You can easily determine if your kid
neys are out of order by setting aside for
"a hours a bottle of the urine passed
upon arising. If upon examination it is
cloudy or milky or has brick-dust sed-
iment or small particles float about in il.
your kidneys are diseased and FoIey's
Kidney Cure should be taken at once.
FoIey's Kidney Cure is pleasant to
take and acts directly upon the parts
affected and you begin to feel better
at once.
1t corrects slight disorders in few
days and it has cured many obstinate
cases after other treatment had failed.

MEDICINE HAT PROTESTS
BOARD OF TRADE DENIES LARGE
CATTLE LOSSES - SMALLPOX
PREVALENT.
Special to The Journal.

Medicine Hat, Assa., April &C. R.
Mitchell, secretary Of the Board of
Trade, has sent out the following
statements:
In consequence Of greatly exaggerated
reports appearing in eastern papers rela :
tive to cattle losses in this district from
recent storms, the Medicine Hat board Of
trade, after careful and extended inquiry
| finds that the average losses thruout the
district will not exceed II per cent,
chiefly confined to last years importation
of stocker cattle. The winter has not
been severe and the snowfall very little
over the average. The warm weather of
the past week assures little if any fur
| Their losses. F..
! There are, now four cases of
smallpox here. They have all been
traced to car of immigrants which
arrived in the city two weeks ago.
1t is said that case Of smallpox
was discovered among these people on
the way from eastern Canada, and
the infected Immigrant was left in a
car with others for over three days.
/ Three immigrants who arrived on
this train went TO one Of the hotels
and yesterday it was discovered that
a child was suffering from smallpox
Every precaution is now being taken
but contracts have been scattered
around the city and other cases are
expected.

MARTIN ON TRACK
OF BEEF COMBINE
South Dakota Congressman Col
lects Evidence of Cattle
Buyers Methods.
Thoro Investigation Under Way
Report Will Be Made
Public.
New York Sun Special Service.


Chicago, April 4.-Congressman E.
w. Martin of South Dakota passed
thru Chicago with a mass Of evidence
against the alleged beef trust, which
he will place before Secretary Cortel-
you. Mr.. Martin said:
There is beef trust One OF the larS-
est cattle shippers in South Dakota
showed me accounts of sales for 1902 and
1908, which showed that In 1902 he found
a competitive market, while during the
spring season of 1908 he got but one bid
on any load Of cattle.
Statements of other cattlemen and or
commission men in the west all corroo-
crate my opinion that the stock market
Is manipulated by the seven big concerns.
Bidding Is Restricted.
1t makes no difference whether a stock
man ships to Omaha, St. Joseph. Sioux
City. st. Louis or Chicago, he meets the
same conditions. The first bid is the only
one he gets. There is no open market.
The big stockmen Of the west are Or
ganizing and will put up independent
plants Of their own. They are obliged
to do something for their own relief
1 met number Of cattlemen while I
was in peadwood, and some commission
men, and they are all convinced that
there Is some kind Of q combination
among the packers. Either they fix the
price Of beef for each day. or there Is
an understanding among them that when
one bids none of the rest bids against
him.
During the year 1903 the price Of live
cattle was lower than it had been for
five years. The conditions in the country
were as prosperous as they were in 1901
and 1902. The same amount Of beef was
bought and sold. The price Of dressed
beef was very little less than 1902, and
the export trade Of the country was great
er than over before This indicates an
abnormal condition Of affairs.
Law Is Adequate.
I understand that the investigation is
we'll under way at Washington. 1t Is the
first investigation ordered by congress I'M
der the new department Of commerce and
labor. and aside from the Importance OF
the matter, the bureau will be anxious tc
show It's efficiency. The investiga ton is
being conducted by Commissioner of Cor
poratons James r. Garfield, and will be
thoro
A report will be made to the president
who will give it to the public. The law
covers the subject fully, and it will not
be difficult to reach the packers if II
Is proved that they are manipulating the
cattle market.
The investigation will probably begir
with the examination of witnesses out
side OF the stock yards. Western stock
men and commission men will be called
to testify.
The commission men know all abou
the business Of buying and selling cattle
They have know it for years, and it will
be more important to find out what ha.
been done than what Is being done now
The stock yards people will be called
as witnesses, and they may be compelled
to testify and to produce their books II
evidence.
