A WESTERN ENTERPRISE,

One enlng nore than any
thing else that innpresses the
spirit of Western energy and
push is the construction of the
Lewis and Clark Centennial
Exposition to be held at Port
land, Oregon beginning June
1st ara continuing until Oct,
18th 1905. With more than
three months intervening be-
fore the opening ST the expo ..
sition, all of the main buildings
are practie ally ready for ting
installation of exhibits. typifyee
ing the manner in which West
ern people carry out any prop
osition presented to them. We
doubt if there has been an ex-
position in the United States
that can show a record such as
the Lewis and Clark exposi-
stion has made. The visitor to
the exposition can be assured
that when it opens on4June 1st
he will find it scompleted in
every detail and it should be a
source of great qualification TO
every resident of the North
west that such IS the case.

CABOOSE OVERTURNED.

One of the most peculiar ac-
!cidentsethat ever occurred on
the Great Northern took place
yesterday afternoon a short dis
stance west of Ives station on
the Thief River Falls branch
of the Great Northern, when
the caboose attached to the
way freight coming to Crook
ston and running at a high
rate of speed jumped the track,
broke loose from the balance of
the train and made two co1n-
plete. summersaults end over
end, winding up in the ditch a
mass OF wreckage without seri-
ously injuring Conductor P. C.
Ekeeley or Rrakemen stiltz or
Berg. W
The caboose was of the old
dingy variety, very much light
er and smaller than the late
cabooses and rocks violently
when the speed is at all high.
No defect could be found in the
rails il on examination x; and it is
supposed b have simply jump
ed the track after striking a
slight bump. The train crew
were badly shaken up, but none
of the men received more than
a few slight scratches. The
engineer pulled on nearly a
mile before he discovered that
the caboose was ditched and
expected on backing up to find
three corpses in the ruins, but
discovered the men to be very
much alive.

every interest in the North
west from the Great Lakes to
the Pacific. When one con-
siders that every bit of travel
will necessarily have to be
over the trans-continental line
radiating from st. Paul and
Minneapolis and through the
Central American states, it
can be readily appreciated that
it is of especial value for all
of the people residing along
the line of the Northwestern
Trans-continental Railways to
assist in the advertising of
this first Western Worlds Fair
for it must be APPRECIATED that
this is the first exposition held
West of the Rocky Mountains
under the auspices of thesC. S.
Government. Then again we
must not lose sight of the fact
that through all this vast
Northwest a hardy band of
pioneers led by indomitable
explorers, Lewis and Clark,
erected a pathway which omen.
ed to the world a new and vast
empire, which has since be-
come peopled with a Thrifty
and energetic class of people
who have assisted in making

MAOARONI WHEAT.

George P. Sexauer of the
South Dakota and Southern
Minnesota MilIers' Club, and
who operates a mill at Brook
ings, S. d., has had some ex-
perience in grinding maeAroui
wheat, and in speaking of the
matter has this to say:
Ny mill was the first one in
this section to take up the ma
king of macaroni -four. In
November, 1903, 1 made a "a
hours rum on this wheat and
ground out 1873 49-lb sacks. AS
to the exact yield on this lot I
am not in position to give
anything accurate, as it was
an experimental run. How.
ever, while ouFs run on regular
No. 1 and blue stem wheat was
from 104 to ITO bbls a day, on
macaroni wheat was q bbls.
This -four figuring in what we
gave away, exchanged and sold
lasted over a year.
On Oct. 20, 1904, 1 made
another run using 13O bushels
of good, clean No. 2 macaroni
wheat, which yielded 4,128 lbs
OF flour or 81 and three quar-
ters lbs to the bushel. From
the rate at which the flour is
selling, this last batch will
last me another year. For
comparison 1 wish, say tAat

NOT ON THE BILLS.

There came near being a
tragedy after the concert at the
opera house on Monday even
ing. Two male members of the
Fisk orchestra became involved
in a quarrel, which began with
fists and almost ended with
bullets. It was a speciality that
was net down on the program,
it being pulled off on the stage
behind the Curtain. There was
a woman in the case
Hillsboro Banner.

O., failed to come to terms. Re
Gently it was forced into bank
ruptcy. It was put up at auc:
ton and sold under the ham
mer for 100000 to a CAicage
lawyer who turned it over ia
the trust. The trust collected
from the outstanding farmers
notes given to the Buckeye Co
to the amount of 100000 con.
siderably in excess of the pur-
chase price. Well may it be
asked, "How long, o, Lord, how
long?"-Mankato Journal.

sacks of mocaroni flour in 1903.
4, sold about 100000 sacks Of
regular hard wheat flour.
This shows the demand fo1
this character of flour. The
macaroni wheat does not only
reduce the yield of the mill,
produces 1ess flour and re-
quires more power but it is a
slow seller. I have made my
last run on. macaroni wheat
unless I am greatly mistaken.
In talking with customers a.
bout the qualities of macaroni
bread, they all claim it is a
good sweet bread, but that the
color is so yellow that the
good housewife is ashamed to
have it on the table. For a
change or two, the macaroni
bread may be all right, but, if
people want a change I can
cell them my first clear, which
will make just as big a loaf
and one of as good color at $3.50
per bbl less than I can sell
macaroni flour.
As far as macaroni wheat
being rust-proof, that's all bosh
at least as far as this section is
concerned. While it yielded
a little better last yesr, owing
to good vigorous seedthat was
planted, have seen this same
class Of wheat shrunkea as
badly as any of thegregular
wheats. From a miller's stand
point. 1 can not see the wis
dom of encouraging the Missing
or milling of macaroni wheat.
On the contrary, I shall put
forth my best efforts to induce
our farmers to raise a good blue
stem-a wheat that has good
milling qualities, and one that
is always ready for market.

FAvoRs FROM RAILWAYS.
A hot hint is that which
President Stickney of the Chi
cago great Western railway
gave to President Roosevelt re.
garding his alleged free use Of
special trains.
Stickney bluntly states that
"the law which makes it a mis-
demeanor for any individual,
not an officer or employe of a
railroad company, to use a pass
was enacted by congress and
approved by the president Is
years ago, and as an individual
rule of action it was ignored by
the congressman who passed it
and by the president who ap.
proved it, and subsequent con
gressmen and presidents, with
rare exceptions, have ignored
it's provisions"
President Roosevelt himself
has given utterance to some
j. sound doctrine to the effect
6t "you cannot build the su-
pefstructure of public virtue
save on private virtues.
But where should we conf
IDENTIFY expect private virtues
and strict observance Of the
laws az in the men elevated to
the head ol the nation?
IF President Roosevelt, who.
because of his high character,
has been chosen to exalt and
maintain the laws of the land,
fails even in his own indivi-
dual conduct, what example or
inspiration is there for OTHERS?
Who is to respect and enforce
1aw, if not the men raised to
lspositions of power and respon-
sibility?
Threats of terrible thinq4to
be done to the railway compa-
nies are not new. For Yeas
they have been uttered with
great vigor, but heard with ex-
>tfeme complacency. NJ e e
words do not hurt.
The railway magnates are
not worrying so long as con-
gressmen have their pockets
full of annual passes and the
president himself accepts
special trains.
y There are people so optimis-
tic as to believe that public
officials cannot be bribed by so
small thing as a railway pass.
But + evidently the railway COM
paAies, who are in position to
know more about it, take a
different view. They are not
giving free passes and special
trains for love. 4
:. It would at least be reassar-
ing to the public if the prsAi-
dent and congressman wauld
decline to accept further fa-
vors from the railways.
There would be good example
and inspiration for the common
people to respect and observe
the law if the high Officials of
the government would them
ives respect and observe it.
