means, but of millions and hundreds OF
millions. The number of eggs, Try.
fingerlings and adult fish distributed
by the United States bureau OF Usher
les in 1902 aggregated 100000. 900 IL
is certain that the shad. whitefish. lake
trout and pike perch fisheries, each OF
vast Importance. have not only been
saved from entire depletion, but that
they have been maintained, chieny
through artificial propagation. at
high degree OF productiveness. That
these fisheries are Industries to-day,
valued at nearly SO 100000 annually. is
due entirely to artificial propagation.

While 1t is universally admitted that
the administration OF the Department
OF Agriculture is probably the most
effective In the world. 1t is interesting
to note that this service costs the ma
ton far less than that of other coun-
tries. A German paper states that
Russia expends annually for this pur-
pose as much as the United States
and France. Austria and Hungary
about $500 900 each. while America
spends but s6.0O0.O 900.

man in England got It into his head

weli-rounded and polished grains of

dust and small particles. They Sing"

quantity Of sand. A tingllng sensa-

COMMUNITY OF INTEREST
It's Spread in West Noted in Present
DirectorateS.

An examination of the makeup Of |
the directorate of the leading western
railroads indicates community OF in
terest which has grown up silently but
surely. Some OF the leading comb1na-
are as follows:
James Stillman, director of Alton, |
North Western, Burlington, Northern Pa
cific, Northern Securities Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific
George Gould, director Of Alton, Bur-
llngton, Missouri Pacific, Kansas City
Southern Oregon Short Line, Union Pa
cihc, Southern Pacific and Mexican Ma
tional. ..n
e. Fl. Hartman, director of Alton, Bur-
lington. Illinois Central. Kansas City
Southern, Mexican Central, Northern Sc
curities, Northern Pacific Southern Pa
cifc, Union Pacific and Erie.
j. P Morgan & Co, (thru members of
the hrm), directors in Atchison, Northern
Pacific, Burlington. Northern Securities
and Erie.
William Rockefeller. director of Mil
waukee, Missouri, Kansas & Texas and
Northern Pacific
John D. Rockefeller. Jr director of
Missouri Pacific and Missouri, Kansas C
D. o. Mills, director of Southern Pacific
and Erie
Ogden Mills director of Rock Island.
The predominating interest in Union
and Southern Pacific is therefore repre-
sented also in Northern Pacific, Northern
Securities, Erie, Illinois Central Alton
and Kansas City Southern. Thru the re-
cent Texas sale it is also interested in the
Rock Island
The predouinating influence in Milwau-
kee is also powerful in Missouri Pacific,
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, North
Western and Hill lines.
The leading influence in Northern Sc
curities as represented by j. P Morgan
& Co. is the most powerful individual in
tersst in Atchison, but has no interest in
Union or Southern Pacific, Rock Island or
Milwaukee, Leaving Rock Island out of
consideration. there is a strong commun-
ity of interest between Missouri Pacific,
Milwaukee and Union Pacific. There is az
equally strong bond between Hartman
and Hill Morgan lines.

Reports that one of the most valu-
able assets Of the Northern Securities
company is the Crows Nest Pass Coal
company have again aroused interest
in James j. Hills relation to the Brit
lsh Columbia enterprise, which is
looked upon as one of the coming
great companies of that territory.
The Wall Street Journal, on the
strength of these reports, has made
inquiry as to the extent of Mr.. Hills
holdings in the company, and hnds
that they are about 100000 out or
Il total of 100000, so that Mr.. Hill
and the Northern Securities company
do not control the coal company. on
the contrary, the Cox interests In
Canada control the company, having
pooled with others in such a way as
to prevent outside manipulation. Ihe
above valuation of Mr.. Hills holdings
seems to correspond with Mr.. Hllls
own statement as to the assets OF the
Securities company.
Mr.. Hill did much for the company,
opening UP a line from its properties
into Montana and giving it American
connections, also furnishing in the
Great Northern road one Of the best
markets for the company's coal, the
road taking all Of it's surplus supply.
The company is now in splendid
condition, and is pushing permanent
development rapidly.
The stock is listed only in Toronto
and has been quiescent for long
time past. It's record since 1899 has
been as follows: 1899 high 218, low
1872; 1900, 248-130; 1901, 331A-224;
1902, 52O-312; 1903, 100000.
It is now some months since the
stock was dealt in last, but the last
sale was around 800. There Is now
e. bid of $50 for the stock, but none
IS offered under $50.

PROLONGED GRAIN WAR
The Omaha Chicago Contest May Last
All Summer.

Prospects for a continuation Of the
grain rate war all summer are good.
All lines but the Northwestern and
the Great Western have observed
tacit agreement to stay out. The
Rock Island now has taken hand and
has established 4 and cent rates
from Omaha to Chicago and Peoria
on wheat and coarse grains. The
other roads interested have made no
cuts for month each evidently ex-
pecting the other to recede from its
position. The Rock Island entered
the fight because it got tired hauling
empty cars. The Rock Islands rate
In effect makes a combination with
the Great Western against the North
Western. The Milwaukee will be
forced into the fight which will make
the war general. Whether the COM
ing In Of all lines will show the bust
ness expediency of stopping the war,
or whether the high feeling will con-
tnue Is a point for speculation. When
the grain movement improves in the
spring the losses by the railroads will
be heavy at the present rates.

WISE STATESMEN OF MEXICO.
Early Foresaw Results Of Japan's
Rise to Power.

II is suggestive to consider the re'a
tons OF Mexico to the new power in
the far East. Mexican diplomacy
early made n notably liberal treaty
with Japan. and that convention
has been followed by a treaty with
China. In n word. Mexico with great
sagacity prepared the way for useful
relations with the rising powers
across the Pacific. One can imagine
many new conditions In the Pacific
ocean thirty years hence: Japan, with
a powerful feet. will insist on keep
Ing balarce OF power there. and
China, led by Japan, will reinforce
this demand. The friendly Oriental
nations will desire the prosperity and
Independence OF Mexico, a nation with
a racial basis similar To theirs. Mexico
opens her doors to Oriental immigra
ton, because she needs labor, and can
assImilate the Asiatics better than the
northern nations OF the continent. thus
new link is forged In the great chain
which wise diplomacy began. 1t II
well that Mexico should extend her
friendships. that she should enlarge
her circle OF relationships She has
her own destiny to work out.-Mehi
can Herald.
