The Inauguration of President
Roosevelt has gone into history as a
memorable one. The early reports
from various parts indicated an un-
usually large attendance at the inau-
guration, but even then expectations
were surpassed. A notable feature
of the vast throng was the unusual
ly large attendance from the South.
This element, which a year ago re-
garded Roosevelt as an enemy, now
regard him as a most enthusiastic
friend, and their efforts to show
their reciprocal feelings were demon
strated in many ways, and no oppor-
tunity was lost to assure the Presi-
dent of the enthusiastic welcome
which he shall received in his visit
through the South in the early
spring. The inaugural ceremonies
were made the more enjoyable by
the fine weather that blessed the oc-
casion, and all together the great
throng that crowded the Capital
city went home indeed satisfied with
their trip, and all felt that a great
and good man had been installed as
their chief executive.

Grain Rates Reduced.

ST. PAUL, Aug. l9.-Just as the
movement Of the grain crop is about
to begin the Great Northern railroad
today announced a sweeping reduce
tion in grain rates throughout its
eastern territory, extending to the
eastern boundary of Montana. Three
years ago the road made important re-
auctions in the western section. The
new rates, it is claimed, will add mil.
lions to the potential our of the
farmers of the northwest. The reduc-
ton is not made. it Is claimed, in pur.
a of any pressure, but as a vol.
untary act and, in the words of an of.
fetal, "a profit sharing policy Of the
road between the railroad and the
tillers of the soil of the northwest that
has been fundamental in the manage.
ment of the Great Northern"
This reduction Of rates ranges from
five cents per hundred pounds from the
most distant points, to a half q CEN
from points nearest the twin cities and
the head of navigation on the grea,
lakes. From Williston, n. d., dis.
tant from the head of the great lakes
GIG miles, the reduction is five cents
per hundred pounds.

ROckefellcr's Big Income.

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-The Stand.
ard Oil company declared a beggarly
dividend of ST a share the other day.
This amounts to a distribution of s6,-

portion will be u misery 81, 400, 900.
He won't get the money until Septem-
Der 10. either. The last dividend of
the Standard Oil was declared in May.
1t is a matter of cold fact that since
May Mr.. Rockefeller has given away
very much more than the s., 400. 900 he
will receive next month from the Stan.
dard Oil company.
On June % last Mr.. Rockefeller
gave 81. 600, 900 TO Yale university as
permanent endowment fund. On June
30, the next day, Mr.. Rockefeller gave
$40. ZOO, 600 to the General Education
board. He has made a number of
smaller gifts Of sums ranging from
s 1000 to SlOO, 900 since asst May, which
aggregate more than 500, 900. This
in spite Of the difficulty Of getting rid
of tainted money.
OF course, Standard Oil is not Mr..
Rockefeller's only wealth producer.
He is believed to have at least $3.50.

ments, which yield him about i per

RAILROAD RATE CONtNDRCMS.

The deeper one delves into the mys-
teries of railroad rates, the greater
becomes his perplexity as to the meth.
Cd adopted by railroad officials who
fix the charges for transportation.
The freight charge for a certain dis.
lance on q part of a railroad system
is NO indication Of the rate for exactly
similar service on another part of the
system, and the adoption of carload
rates in one instance and a weight
basis in another, tends to confuse the
shipper who attempts to make com.
parison between the various rate ex-
hibits.
The matter of rates on livestock
shipments being a subject of interest
at this time, it may be recalled that
some years ago northern Montana
beef and mutton were shipped to
market at SO much per carload. This
arrangement has been changed to a
weight basis, the charge now being so
much per 100 pounds, the conditions
stating that the minimum weight of a
carload Of cattle shall be $4,000
pounds, and that u carload of sheep
shall be estimated to weigh at least
2O,5OO pounds. The rates paid under
this system are alleged by shippers to
have resulted in more profit to the
railroads than under the former rate
by the carload.
The rates upon livestock shipments
in force at the present time over the
Great Northern are as follows, the
charge being so much per lou pounds:

IRRIGATION

tons.
Gov. George f. Chamberlain wei.
coined the congress to Oregon. Gov.
ernor Chamberlain prcfaced his vel.
come by emphasizing the Importance
of irrigation Gle criticised severely
the existing law, which he believed to
be lacking, especially in comforting
sufficient powers to condemn private
property. No one. he continued, be.
lieved that the government had the
right to confscate private land, but
he did believe that until the govern
ment had the power to force every per.
son who resisted out of its way after
~remunerating them to the extent of the
value of their property that the recla-
nation of arid lands would be retard-
ed.
Following Governor Cham berlain,
H. NJ. Cake, president of the CONNER
cial club, welcomed the congress in
behalf of his organization. Better
reclamation laws were the keynote of
his brief speech.
\ message from President Roose-
welt to the congress vas read. The
president reviewed the Importance Of
reclamation work in the development
Of the country. The president coun.
selled patience until the operation of
the reclamation act became more en-
tensive. The Importance and wide
sphere of the act vas dwelt upon, the
president pointing that the act united
east and west and that it ''enforces
the principles Of the greatest good to
the greatest number, because it gives
each man land enough to support his
family in comfort" and ''the recla.
nation act is the most powerful of all
foes to the monopoly of the land"
The president also warned the PEG.
pie against ''letting public lands pass
into private hands for fictitious reas-
ons." The necessity for forest pro-
lection was indicated, the president
asking for the hearty support of the
congress to the forest service, as an
aid to future irrigation work.

1t will be observed in this exhibit
that a beef shipment from Malta Is
hauled to Chicago at 81 cents per cwt.
less than is charged for q similar
shipment from Benton, presumably
for the reason that the haul from
Malta to Chicago is about los miles
shorter; but in fixing the charge upon
q mutton shipment, the railroad rate
maker decided that distance cuts no
figure in the matter, and made the
charge the same from both points.
The distance from Galsta to Chi.
cago is exactly the same as from Ben.
ton to Chicago, but according to the
rate exhibit here presented, a mutton
shipment from Galata must pay s.!
cents per 100 pounds more than is
charged for q similar shipment from
b .nton to the same destination.
Northern Montana stockmen who
purchase cattle In Texas and bring
them here to fatten for market, are
charged q carload rate from southern
points: but when these same cattle are
shipped to Chicago they are subject
to a freight charge at SO much per 100
pounds. A comparison between these
systems OF rate making may interest
stockmen and others.
Texas cattle shipped to Benton from
points known as the Amarillo group
are transported a distance of about
1850 miles, the rate being $l3s. 80 per
carload. When these cattle are ready
for market, and are shipped to Chi.

a cattle shipment from these Texas

per carload. When ready for marke,
and shipped 1850 miles to Chicago,
the minimum charge Is 1892 per car.

In the above exhibit of Great North.

that the rate upon cattle shipments
from Galata to Chicago Is IS cents

are about Is miles apart, and on q
