In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
OH Railroad Transportation, is the ease
Of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle 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.
A main dependence of the farmers of
the Aroostool region is the potato
crop. aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out
put of~the truck farms of Michigan,
their nofMal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun and
rains brought a tremendous yield of
potatoes from the Michigan fields At
normal rates and prices there would
have been Il glut of the customary usar-
kets and the potatoes would have rot
ted on the farms. To help tie potato
growers the railroads from Michigan
made unprecedeniedly low rates on
potatoes to every readable market,
even carrying them in large quantities
to a place so remote as Bos. ION. The
Aroostook growers had to reduce the
Price OH their potatoes and even then
could not dispose of them unless the
Boston & Maine Railroad reduced its
already low rate, which it did. By
means of these low rates, making pos
sibe low prices, the potato crops of
both Michigan and Maine were finally
marketed. Everybody eats potatoes,
and that year everybody had all the
potatoes he wanted. 81
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinOus to
the railroads, had they been applied to
the movement of all potatoes at al.
times. to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets for them. The.
Boston & Maine Railroad suffered de-
crease in its revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for
the varied supplies which the rail-
roads brought 10 them. II the making
of rates were subject to Governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been TAKEN
because it is well established that if
rate be once reduced by railroad
company it cannot be restored through
The red tape of Governmental proceed

Boston & Maine Railroad had been
subjected to Governmental Irritation

apparent sottomress PIT.

A bottomless pit has been found in
the mountains of Hualalai, back of
Kailua. 1t Is about four feet in diam.
eter. The pit is peculiar from the
fact that 1t sucks in the air with re-
markable force. Piece of paper placed
over the mouth do not float gently
down, but are suddenly drawn in and
disappear with startling rapidity. The
air rushing into the pit can be dis
tinctly felt by people standing on the
edge. There has been no attempt
made thus far to reach the bottom OF
the pit or to determine its character.
Strange sounds are heard in Honau-
nau. Every night the inhabitants of
that section distinctly hear noise
similar to the blowing of a deep
steamship whistle. Nobody has been
able to discover any cause for 1t and

Profits of tho Packer,

There has been q great Leal Of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the pick
per cent on the volume of business
transacted. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the report is correct.
The census reports compiled by the
Government in 1900. before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on a
smaller margin of gross profit than any
other industry in America. The gross
margin of profit of ST. -four and grist
mills in Illinois, in the census year,
was nearly seven per cent. on the vol
ume of business. The gross margin of
tifty-one wholesale slaughtering and
meat packing establishments in Illinois
was only about one-third as large. or a
little more than two per cent. On the
volume of business.
The millers have not been accused
of being in q trust" and combina-
lions would seem impossible in bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills In the United States competing
actively for the -four trade, but it APP
pears that the gross profits Of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits of
the packers. 1t may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shearing the pig: "All

A LUCKY SHOT.
Four Birds Killed Instead of Two as
Thought.

Thought.
While on the question of pot shots,
you might as well put the following on
record: Four of us were out rabbiting,
with Indifferent success. H. got tired
of it. and thought he would try to walk
up bunch of quail. He walked along
road dividing stubble field, and in
nearing a bunch of grass alongside of
the road, bunch of birds got up out
of the grass; he gave them the first
barrel as they rose, but missed; then
gave them the second, and saw two
drop. One was dead the other only
wounded. He picked up the dead bird,
and, having no dog, ran after tho
wounded bird and retrieved it. Then
he followed up the birds he had mark
ed down in some scrub oak, to try for
another shot.
/ ABOUT an hour afterward we came
along the same place, when s. noticed
one of the beagles mounting a bird in
the bunch of grass. The grass was
about a foot and half high, about
two yards long, and one yard wide. S.
shouted to the dog to drop it, and ran
toward him. We both got there about
the same time, and s. had taken the
, bird from the dog, saying, "Why, it's
a quail" just then l noticed one at
my feet, and said, Here's another
S. walked on step and said, Here's
another Just then w came along
and stopped and said, Here's anoth-
err" picking one up at the same time
Well, we picked up four quail in that
bunch of grass; the birds were still
quite warm. and were all lying on
their breasts with wings spread out
Well, we all wondered how such a
thing could have happened. We all
had heard H. shot twice after he'd
been gone short time, but no Others
Just then we saw II. coming up the
road; when he got to- us we asked
him if he had fired the two guns a
short time before. YES" said he
What at?" asked S. Quail" said H.
Then he explained that as ne walked
along the road, the bunch of quail got
up about 60 feet away; he fired the
first barrel, but missed. ''as he
thought" as they got up out of the
grass. Then he gave them the left
barrel knocking down two. 1.-THE one
was dead, but had a good run after
the other one" he said, land here they
are" taking the two birds out of his
game pocket. We then tod him about
the four we had found, and after a lot
of talk and study we concluded that he
had shot too low with the first barrel
and killed the birds on the ground, and
not knowing it, had went right on af-
ter the others.
H. has been my shooting partner
for the past Is years, and we all know
him to be thorough sportsman-one
who would not shoot a quail on the
ground. / don't know about duck

And orchard slopes between,

Enshrined by forests green,
Morns earliest sunbeams gid thy Dr0W
And Springs first kisses thrill

Mid scenes and faces new,
Yet memory shone like constant star
Still pointing back to you
Each lovely spot some story noius'
And all my pulses thrill
With memories of past days ana loves

Nor oft thy welcome share

New footsteps press thy stair. -

And evening shades grow emil,
May heavens peace rest over all
