FARMER IN RAILROAD Markets
RAILROAD MAGNATE SAYS TAR
RIFF DON'T HELP THEM.
President Hill, OF Great Northern,
also Talks to Them About Trans
pOrtatiOn Rates on Roads.

PRESTON, Mimi, Sept. 25.@. J.
Hill, president Of the Great Northern
railroad, addressed the farmers Of
southern Minnesota who assembled
at the Fillmore county fair here to
day.
Your main needs" said Mr.. Hill.
after severely condemning graft in
public and private life, are two
First, an adequate market in which
your products may be sold at a fair
price, and an opportunity to purchase
those things you need which the farm
does not supply. As far as your
grain is concerned, you must sell in
the markets Of the world The tariff
Will not help you, although your poll
ttcians may say you are protected and
thereby helped, but you know better
There is one way, however, in which
you may be helped, and that is by
lessening. the cost Of transportation.
1T is an easy prophecy, because it
is a business fact, that railroad rates
in this country would decline more
slowly under government control than
il fixed by those who intelligently
managed railways. No public body
would dare make reductions so sweep
ing as those that have been made vol
UNFAIRLY by railways
The government cannot discrimin-
ate between ports or places. 1t must
be impartial. Therefore, it would
sooner or later be obliged to Ordain
a distance tariff. The low charge
for the long haul would disappear,
and you farmers here in Minnesota
would be the most heavily fairfield
peOpled in the world"
Mr.. Hill touched on the Orient as
the future market for the wheat pro-
ducing states of the United States.
/ He observed that the Panama canal,
/ while it might be a worthy project,
l was an expensive toy, but one that
/ this great country could afford He
/ derided the argument that any great
/ benefit would accrue to the people
from it
! Again in referring to the Oriental
\ trade, Mr.. Hill said:
/ BY one policy we have angered
Z and inSulted a nation Of 100000
/ people. all prospective customers, SC
that, although siugularly patient By

/ In closing Mr. Hill said:
This faIlacy that the United State

THE MOVEMENT WESTWARD.
A New Piece Of Evidence Showing
Its Scope and Power

The east is moving out west.
Those fasteners who cannot do so
bodily are more and more fixing their
interest upon this great empire OF
the future. Were one to seek parti-
cuIar proof Of this he need only scan
the pages Of the eastern magazines
They always have given considerable
space to western subjects, but now
there Is never a month but what
brings the deep-voiced message Of the
west to its eastern readers And this
is not true merely because Of a cur
iosity upon the part OF eastern read
ers to see what manner Of life we live,
but il is rather from an awkward IN
Outstanding Of the fact that the west
in tone, in temper, and in posi-
bility-is America
Let il be noted that the west is
not merely the America Of tomorrow
il is the America Of today. Not only
will the life Of the future be center
ed here. but the vitality Of our pres
ent civilization is typified by western
freedom, fearlessness and sincerity.

portance ascribed to western life anC

for forty years has been the intimate in

than that the Philippine islands are

There was something so impressive
in the speaking Of the words that

Mrs. JelifTe settled herself down in
the town, intending to get rid Of her
rival. not by legal process, but by per-
seCutiOn. She would have failed to
make any great impression had it not
been for the man. Florence Oyerawed
her by a superiority in every respect
1t was the terrible effect the intruder
had upon Preston that destroyed the
family happiness. The woman had
only to remain in the place where the
Preston family lived to make a wreck

Preston night and day that under the
terrible temptation he should not
make the matter a thousand times
worse by crime, but the strain was too
great even for a woman OF superior
strength, and Florence at last broke
down.
One morning while at breakfast
Preston took up his newspaper, and
his eye lit on the following:
Matilda Jeliffe was last night ar
rested, at the instigatiOn of her hus-
band. Anthony Jeliffe, On a charge Of
bigamy. It is charged that Mrs.
Jeliffe deserted her husband and mar

pOsure induced her TO return to him,

embraced each Of the children. "At

she was eighteen. Had not Bert gone
west TO seek his fortune they would
undoubtedly have mde a match As
il was, neither knew Of the predis-
position OF the other In time Bert
fell under the influence Of a widow,
Mrs Jeliffe considerably older than
he, and married her. Marriage is
said to be a lottery, but is is rather
a matter Of common sense There
was certainly no common sense in the
PrestOn-Jeliffe union Mrs. Jeliffe was
a shrew, and there was no knowledge
to be derived from any one as to the
taking of Of her first husband; not
that any suspicion attached to his
widow, but there was a mystery con-
corning his death. She led Preston
miserable life for a few years, then

It was five years after Preston went
west and two years after his marriage
that he made a visit to his old home
in the east Florence Holt had heard
OF his matrimonial venture and, since
there had always been a place for
him in her own heart, felt a deep
sympathy for him. She had not mar
ried and there seemed to be no one
whom she wished to marry. Then
when II was too late she and Preston
learned that they should have been
plighted to each other before he went
west. He and Florence would have
been happy together.
When Preston went back west he
carried with him the assurance that
If at any time he learned Of his wife's
death Florence would marry him.

happy as possible Then a paper
came to Preston from a southern city
with a marked death nOtice-that of
Mrs. Anthony Jeliffe. That same eve

bound east He wrote the newspaper
containing the notice for information
but could get none. After a long
period Of inquiry as to the late Mrs
PreSton-J eliffe and a failure to learn
why the notice had not read Preston
instead Of Jeliffe, Bert and FlOrence
concluded TO consider the woman
dead and marry. When this time
Preston returned to his western home

Consul Harris, that the different
