Marketing POTATO Crops.

In line with the classic case Of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley Of Yale university in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the
case Of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile Of the
Boston & Maine railroad before the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce. Nothing could better show
how a railroad works for the interest
Of the localities which it serves.
4 A main dependence of the farmers
Of the Aroostook region Is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and the ada
cent thickly settled regions of New
England. The competition of cheap
water transportation from Maine to
all points along the New England
coast keeps railroad freight rates ON
these potatoes always at very low
level.
Potatoes are also a considerable
output Of the truck farms Of Michi-
gan, their normal market being OBJ
tanned in and through Detroit and Chi
cago and other communities Of that
region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought q tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there
would have been a glut of the GUS
tomary markets and the potatoes
would have rotted on the farms. To
help the potato growers the railroads
from Michigan made unprecedentedly
low rates ON potatoes to every reach
able market, even carrying them in
large quantities to place SO remote
as Boston. The Aroostook growers
had to reduce the price on their po-
tatoes and even then could not dis
pose of them unless the Boston &
Maine railroad reduced its already
low rate, which it did. BY means of
these low rates, making possible low
prices, the potato crops of both Mich
igan and Maine were finally market
ed. Everybody eats potatoes, and
that year everybody had all the pota-
toes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous
to the railroads, had they been ap-
piled to the movement of all potatoes
at all times, to all places, they helped
their patrons to find markets then.
The Boston & Maine railroad suffered
a decrease in its revenue from pota-
toes, but 1t enabled the Aroostook far
mers to market their crop and there
by to obtain money which they spent
for the varied supplies which the rail-
roads brought to them. II the making
Of rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because 1t Is well established that IL
q rate be once reduced by a rail-
road company it cannot be re-
stored through the red tape of gov
procedure. II the Michigan
railroads and the Boston & Maine rail-
road had been subjected to govern
mental limitation they would have felt
obliged to keep up their rates as do
the railroads of France and England
and Germany under governmental
limitation and let the potatoes rot

ANOTHER SCANDAL LIKELY.

Department Of Agriculture 10 Under
Fire.
+ If the scandal in the department of
agriculture, involving the integrity of
the crop reports, should develop into
such gigantic an affair as is now init
mated may be possible it would far
overshadow the postofice departments
troubles.
Originally it was merely charged
that there had been q leakage, by
which advance information reached
spectators concerning the report on
the cotton crop. This caused the sus-
pension Of Edwin s. Holmes, assistant
statistician Of the department. Then
came the more serious charge that the
figures of the crop conditions had
been tempered with and the public had
been given dishonest report, while
favored spectators had been permit
ted to know Inc truth.
On the heels of this report of the
Of the figures came the
intimation, from Secretary Cheatham
of the Southern Cotton association,
that before he was done he would raise
serious question as to the honesty OF
all the crop reports. This brings the
matter up close to the northern and
western farmer, as it has already been
brought to the southern planter.
The allegation involves the reports
on corn, wheat, oats, fruits, hay and
every agricultural staple. The gov
eminent reports have been supposed
the most reliable.

Kustenji. July Following orders
received from the Roumanian govern
ment. the Kniax Potemkine has been
formally transferred to the Russian
navy. Admiral Kruger sent nag
lieutenant ON board the vessel and mo-
titled the officer in command that he
was ready to transfer the Russian
crew to the battleship. This was done,
the Roumanian dag hauled down and
the Russian hoisted after the usual sa-
lutes had been fred.
An inspection Of the vessel revealed
everything in the widest confusion.
All Of the supplies had been exhaust

the money taken from the ships strong
box and everything portable Of value
carried away.
For the last three days the vessel
has been navigated by sublieutenant,

It appears that the decision to sur |

when 1t became evident that no other |

crew Of the battleship seemed to be |
unaware Of the surrender of the
Ge0rgi P0bieden0snez and thought she |
was also coming to Kustenji to capitu-
late.
Three junior officers Of the Potem-
kline. who had been forcibly detained |
on board Of her after the mutiny, were |
released here and are awaiting orders
from Admirable Kruger. Their swords
were returned to them before they
were sent on shore. They declare that

Of the time that they were on board,
but that they were kept under surveil-
lance all Of the time. They are appre.
hensive as to their treatment when
they get back to Russia.
Torpedo Boat Goes On.
After the surrender OF the Potem-
kline the Roumanian officers boarded
torpedo boat 267. which has accom-
panied the battleship on her wander
ings. To their surprise, they we're told
by the men on board of that craft
that they were loyal to the czar; that
they had not mutinied, and that they
had accompanied the battleship under
compulsion. They asked that they
be given coal enough to see them to

trap and demanded that the torpedo
boat either be surrendered or that she
leave port within half an hour with

After consultation, the men In COM

return to Russian port. and sailed.
