Who " Ould BE Hurt!

Sy ~'S0e6 80
Probably the able president of the
Great Northern has been misguided.
Press dispatches make him say that If
the interstate commerce commission is
given the initiative in regulating
freight rates the country will be
strewn with railroad c%orpses."
Mr.. Hill is intimately acquainted
with the physiology of railroads and
he knows that, as q matter of fact,
they never die. For all temporal pur.
poses they are immortal. Over.en.
thusiasm or the part OF the manage.
meut In the matter of issuing bonds
may result In ~receiverships and reor.
CARNATIONS; but the railroad itself
never misses q heartbeat. The tracks
are there. The trains run Persons
and goods are moved just as before.
MIR. Hill will recall that he earnestly
assisted In giving the Burlington
road, to a superficial view. a highly
dropsical appearance-by boosting
its stock to two hundred dollars q
share and capitalizing it in bonds at
that figure. Yet the road was really
as healthy as ever, and was able last
year to mov ove twenty million tons
of freight.
II the interstate commerce commits.
sion should take to slashing freight
rates. Mr.. Hill might personally be
strewn with q large amount OF de.
preciated Great Northern stock; but
the railroad that he built would never
know the difference. His dividends
might be only five per cent. instead OF
seven, and he would, perhaps, be IN.
able to issue to stockholders at one
hundred dollars q share S25, 900, 600 OF
new stock worth three hundred dollar
a share in the market, as he has just
had the pleasure OF doing. But not q
rail would come up, nor q tie fall out,
nor an engine.wheel turn the less
briskly. II the Great Northern had
raised that s25 ,000, 900 by issuing
stock at its market value of about
three hundred dollare q share, the
dividend requirement would have been
less by more than a million dollars q
year, and a million dollars q year
would give an a%ppreciable reduction
in freight rates.
a man of Mr.. Hills eminence must
not be encouraged to depress the pub.
lie with funeral prospects,. He must
look on the bright side.

Montana Members Of Cougress Fear II
Will Affect New Industry.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-By a vote
OF : to 5 the house committee on ways
and means reported favorably on the
Payne bill admitting all products into
the United States from the Philip.
pines, free. excepting sugar and tobac.
co, which are to pay % per cent. Of
the Dingley rates until 1909, when they
are also to go on the free list. Two
amendments were made to the measure
originally introduced in the house By
Payne.
Both Senator T. Il. Carter and Rep.
resentative J. NJ. Dixon, of Montana,
are taking an active part in the oppo.
sition Of the Philippine tariff reduc.
ton measure. When asked for an ex.
preston Of his views, Senator Carter
said:
"Knowiug that the neighboring
states Of the arid region are success.
fully engaged in the production of
beet sugar, and believing that the
climate and soil Of Montana will prove
especially favorable to beet sugar
production, I shall oppose any legis.
lation tending to hamper or destroy
that great and growing industry in
which our farmers are so profoundly
interested. Moreover, l believe, that
as a natter OF national policy it is our
duty to encourage home production of
such a vital and necessary product a.
sugar until we raise within our own
borders a full supply of all domestic
necessities"
Representative Dixon said: II AN
opposed to that portion of the Philip.
pine bill that provides for the impor.
tation Of Philippine sugar into this
country free Of duty. It is not 50
much the present amount produced but
the tremendous increased importation
from the islands threatened by abol-
ishing the present tariff schedule.
There is at the present time one fac.
tory in course Of construction at Bill.
lings with others being organized at
Bozeman, Hamilton and Kalispell.
The experience of Colorado, Idaho
and Utah shows no industry so pro.
life OF material prosperity to the agri-
cultural sections as the beet sugar fac.
tories. Our mountain valley irrigated
lands are peculiarly adapted to grow.
ing beets of high sacharine matter.
With the present conditions the next
few years will see one.half OF the sugar
consumed produced in the Rocky
Mountain states. About forty mem.
bers OF the house have organized with
q view of defeating the sugar schedule
of the Philippine bill and we believe
we can either defeat or force an &C.
ceptable compromise"

Pillar of Light" will be exclusive to
the readers of the color magazine given
free with each copy of 1.-The Philadel-
phia Press beginning Sunday, March
26. The Sunday Magazine will be the
only publication in America where
this great story may be read. BY
special arrangements with Mr.. Edward
j. Clode, Mr.. Tracy's American pub
Usher, this story will not appear in any
other published form until 1906.
England, Russia and America furnish
the principal characters in this re mark
able and timely story. Love and
thrilling adventure is the theme, as in
all of Mr. Tracy's most successful
work. The action begins with a bomb
thrown in Londcn, an Anarchist meet

sensational disclosures in the Russian
colony in England, and then shifts to
the castle of Russian provincial gov.
ernor, or "Little Gar" whose subjects
are in revolt at his intrigues. The
plot affords superb opportunity for a
brilliant display of the authors swift
