BACK FROM MONTANA.
j. A. Green Finds no Place Advancing
as Pendleton Has Done.

]. A. Green, formerly proprietor of
the Arlington lodging house in this
city, has returned from an extended
trip over Montana and is delighted
with the continued growth and ad-
vancement of Pendleton.
In all his travels over the North
west, he finds no other place making
equal advancement to that being made
in this city. Very few of the Wash
ington or Montana towns show any
part of the enterprise of Pendleton

"REAPING THE HARVEST"
Beautiful Comedy Drama at the Fra
zer Next Sunday.


In "Reaping the Harvest" the next
attraction at the Frazer theater,
which comes to Pendleton on Sunday,
May 2S, theatergoers will find one of
the most stirring comedy dramas of
the season.
Miss Julia Romaine, the leading
lady, played this piece for three sea-
sons on the road and received unstint-
ed praise from both press and public.
The dramatic situations and come
dy are so well blended that the inn
pressions left behind are nothing but
pleasant ones, and the story is a plain,
everyday tale of the world, with a
wealth of heart interest woven
throughout.
The company is one of the best that
could be secured, and cannot fail to
please.
Seats will be on sale Saturday and
popular prices will prevail,

He visited the Marcus DAILY farm
at Hamilton, Mont, last week, and is
surprised at the magnitude of it.
There are $4,000 acres in cultivation
on the farm, most of this acreage be-
ing in alfalfa, and highly productive.
Instead of growing fast horses and
fancy driving horses on the farm now,
a heavy grade of work horses is being
raised, besides large numbers of cat

Change Proposed by Esch-Townsend
Bill Would Be Especially Harm
full to the South.

LITHIA SPRINGS, s. c. July IS
Making a plea to the men of the South
10 stand for their own best interests,
and TO line up with the best friends
of the South's industrial development,
$ H Hardwick, passenger traffic
manager of the Southern railway ad-
dressed the South Carolina Press AS
ISOLATION last evening
He urged that the South more than
any other section needs the benefits that
can accrue to it only from leaving the
initiative in rate-making with the rail-
roads. He said in part:
AT present it is the business of rail-
roads of the South TO see that the South
shall compete for all traffic to and
from all domestic and foreign markets
possible. and this Is done In the fairest
consideration of all concerned, but, Of
course. the railroads of the South never
lose sight of the fact that their inter
ests ana responsibilities are in the
South.
Other railroads of other sections have
similar ideas; hence competition is keen
and active between the respective rail-
roads throughout the country. If the
Southern railway. for example. finds
that it cannot place the products of
South Carolina in certain new markets
by reason of existing differences in
rates, il promptly endeavors, If practi-
cable, TO adjust its rates SO that the
competition may ensue. This could no

Conditions in Germany.

These are a few of the difficulties
which have been discovered lately by
students of this transportation prob
lem. Germany has both state and prI-
vately owned railroads. the larger
share OF the mileage being state-owned
Complaints about the rates are con-
slant and most annoying. Northern
Germany is the factory section OF the
empire, while the southern part IS the
agricultural. roughly corresponding to
the East and West in the United States.
The agricultural interests have kept
a high tariff on foreign foodstuffs. in
order that Germany might be encour-
aged to raise all itsc own grams and
meats. Yet the grains and meats rails
ed in Southern Germany are largely sent
abroad, because the freight rates of
the country are so high that it is more
economical TO send these products to
other markets, and TO buy American or
Argentine grain, that has travelled half
way across continent by rail and Chen
entirely across the Atlantic by boat
Naturally, the German factory owners
protest against this condition. They say
IL German foods are 10 GO broad IL.
spite Of the tariff. they ought not to be
compelled to pay the high duties on the
food for their factory hands
One of the curious results OF these
conditions IS that ;he kingdoms and the
central government. as well as many OF
the cities, are building canals to com
pete with the railroads in order 10 keep
rates down to reasonable figures The
fact that the government Will own both
the canals and the railroads has not
prevented the making of inves tments In
this country canals are regarded as
useful checks on railroads. and New
York is spending SiG0. 900. 900 to improve
The Erie capal, believing thereby she
will strengthen her grip OF the standard
of empire amoI,S the States
But Germany presents the odd spec
tacie that New York would If. already
owning the railroads. she should spend
this immense sum to enable the State
canal to keep the State railroads ~

Rebates in Great Britain.

In England the question Of excessive
freight rates is more seriously discussed
than in this country, though there is
not so much complaint there of rebates.
termination, and unfair adjustments
as between commercial centers. The
English roads are capitalized at more
than four times as much as American
systems-over S250,0o0 per mfle-and are
entirely in private ownership. In fact
Britain and the United States are the
only first-class countries which have
no publicly owned railroads
Italy tried the experiment of state
ownership and private operation OF some
