has the following to say regard ing our
city in one of the bulletins printed for
the Hennepin M. E. church, Minnes-

been without q saloon. Not IN intox-

There is a party living somewhere out in

city he is much like Bridget, who "said more

considerable merriment in the fact that a
steamboat has been launched on kandiyohi

recent issue of the Gazette cont aimed a hot

Kandiyohi into steam. He mentions several
'corporations'' who have been navigating or
projecting navigation on the aforesaid lake,
all Of which is evidently the product of his
own imagination; and Therefore take this

RAILROAD ARGUMENTS FREE OF
CHARGE,

The r0llrO00S VI Inc country are
stirring up everybody dependent upon
them for special privileges to work up
arguments against giving the govern
ment the power of making rates. The
latest that has como to our notice 10 q
circular letter sent out by the North
ern Pacific railway, containing a
made-to- order interview With Henry
L. Little, manager OF the Washburn-
Crosby Flour Mills company. The
circular considerably informs Va that
the letter is furnished free OF charge,
for which we are Of course duly CRATE
full, a. the state of our finances at pres
ent would not permit US to pay very
heavy charges on literature favoring
the railroads.
Mr.. Little advises the wheat produ-
GERS Of the Northwest to leave the rail
roads alone, and threatens them with
the total humiliation of the milling
industry in Minneapolis if the govern
ment ever gets the power to fix reason.
able rates if on examination it finds
that any particular rate ia too high.
Incidentally he gives away the fac,
that the Minneapolis millers are get
ting rate OF twenty cents per barrel
from Minneapolis to Chicago. That
is certainly cheap, when We consider
that it would cost z Willmar man
twenty-five cents to ship q sack q
flour from Willmar to Kandiyohi, q
distance of about six miles. Really,
we cannot blame Mr.. Little for want
ing people to leave the railroads
alone. Viewed from his position they
are certainly not charging very high
rates. But if the railroads can shil
flour that far for such . low price an6
still make money On it 1t seems that II
would be possible for them to charge
a little less for carrying the whea
from the local stations to MinnespO
lis. 1t costs more to ship 200 pound:
Of wheat IS miles than to ship 2O(
pounds of flour distance of 400 miles
Mr.. Little claims that the specia
rates on flour build up great export
ing business. Possibly; but we have
failed to notice that the wheat raiserl
OF the Northwest get any higher price:
for their product. 1t still looks to III
- if wheat prices were based on prices
in the great world markets, and tina
the cost of transporting the wheat
not the flour, forms the bssis in de-
termining the difference between the
Liverpool and Minneapolis markets
Furthermore, it seems little pre-
sumptious for Minneapolis miller t.
talk as 1.-The we're so intensely inter
ested in the welfare of the farmers O

Why should this miller be 90 afrsit
