THANKS YANKEES CROCUS.
To Consul Taylor and His Love for a
Flower the Northwest Blooms.

WINNIPEG, July Everybody in
the United States should know of the
love which people of Manitoba bore
Consul James w. Taylor of Ohio, and
of the beautiful way in which they
keep his memory green. He has been
dead for a number of years, but Mani
toba will never forget him. He is re-
membered as the most popular and
most efficient consular official who has
ever come to the Canadian west. A
few years ago the people of Winnipeg
placed his likeness in oil, life size, in
their city hall.
During his consular service, Mr..
Taylor became greatly interested in
the development of Manitoba and the
country north of it. 1t was his GUS
tom, each spring, to note the blooming
time of the prairie crocus. He was
particularly fond of the small purple
flowers, and a vase filled with them
soming season, on his desk at the
American consulate. His investiga-
tons afield led him to believe that the
blossoming time Of the crocus was not
materially later in upper Manitoba
and the Mackenzie river country than
in Minnesota.
In order to make sure regarding the
exact dates, he one year asked for
definite reports as to the time of the
appearance of the crocus flowers in
ST. Paul, and north from there 1000
miles to Fort Dunvegan and the Peace
river country. These reports showed
that the crocus appeared in ST. Paul
just one week ahead of it's appearance
on the faraway Peace river. This dis
covery was intimately related to the
subsequent development of this region
for the growing of field crops on
large scale. Mr.. Taylor, though his
love for the crocus, had unconsciously
done for the country a service of the
highest Importance.
In the spring of each year, when the
crocus blossoms loving hands place
them in profusion beneath his likeness
in the Winnipeg city hall, and this has
the city.

c0NsUMprlON'S WARNING

SYM ". VI. oNGH~>'
The aid of scientific inventions is not
needed to determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone of average in,
telligence.
There is no disease known that gives 50
many plain warnings of its approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be so quickly reached and checked,
if the medicine used is DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup, which is made to cure
consumption.
It is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won't quit;
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, ac-
co1npanied by frequent expectoration.
But no matter how deep-seated your
cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect cure-as 1t has
done before in thousands OF apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.

against the railroads Of the country
asking that in each case a fine of $500
be assessed for violation of the So
called twenty eight hour law, pro-
viding for the humane shipment of
cattle. Nearly every railroad, from
Maine to California, is involved. The
suits will be filed in the circuit courts
of the United States, and judgments
will be asked for the benefit of the
federal treasury.
The law under which this wholesale
suing is to be done requires railroad
companies transporting cattle from
one state to another to unload the ami
mails after they have been in the cars
for twenty-eight hours, feed and water
them and give them a rest for at least
five hours.
Was a Dead Letter.
The statute heretofore has been
practically a dead letter. But a year
ago, Secretary Wilson got new law
adviser in George McCabe of Utah. He
knows the Cow country and he in
augurated a systematic investigation
into the shipment Of cattle.
The 1,5O0 inspectors and taggers in
the service of the bureau of animal in
dustry were told to make notes at the
points of origin of big shipments of
cattle, of the name of the shipper and
number of each car. The inspectors
and taggers at the feeding stations
were to record the numbers of the
cars unloaded at the stations, and the
men at the stockyards also took more
notes, together with the time of ar
rival of the various cars.
The notes were all sent here. The
time of each cattle train was figured
out. In a little more than six months
evidence of about 1900 violations was
on file. When Secretary Wilson was
ready for the railroad men he sug-
geSted that they come to See MIN.
They came and very soon many were
ready to talk compromise.
Steps Taken by Railroads.
Most of the railroads have taken
steps to prevent violations of the law
in the future. The Chicago & North
Western is attempting to comply with
the law by using 1900 stable cars, in
which the stock may be fed and wat
cred, and in which there is room
enough for the cattle to lie down. In
spectors are travelling on these trains
to see whether the cattle can, and do,
rest while in transit.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
the chief competitor of the North
Western, is trying to convince Secre
tary Wilson that stable cars will not
take the place of feeding and rest sta
tons. Its money is invested in feed
ing stations.
