We believe that so far as the racing
program goes. it can be made interest
ing and satisfactory to all from horses
that are to be had within the county.
This is evident from the fairly good
races on the track last week. If the
association and horsemen would Join
their efforts in purely local races, al
lowing those desiring to get their
horses where they please, we believe
the fair association could be independ-
ent of outside horsemen. as the latter
now appear to be themselves. If this
can be done then the association
could give more attention to special
attractions and amusement features.
County and local pride would go far
in sustaining the association in MAX
ing the race program a home produc-
ton in very large measure. It is
very doubtful whether the large
purses put up to secure horses that
can make little faster time than our
own can aid much in increasing the

HILL TALKS TO FARMERS.

James j. Hill has been talking To
the farmers at county fairs in south
ern Minnesota. He declared that pro,
lection did not benefit them; what
they needed was the markets of the
world for their grain. He thought a
lessenlng in the rates of transporta
ton would help them, but he thought
the fixing of rates should be left en-
tirely with the railroads. He thought
they would decline more slowly I'M
der government control. SO very kin 1
in Mr.. Hill. The president of the
Great Northern is out after the mar
kets of the world, particularly the
trade OF the orient, so he can be ex-
cused if some of his statements are
prompted by selfishness in a large
measure. This is quite apparent in
what he says about the Panama canal
He derided the argument that anv
great benefit would accrue to the peo-
pie from it. He said the project was
an expensive toy but one this great
country could afford. If this is true
MI. Hill should explain why the great
transcontinental railroads have been
throwing cold water on the project
ana secretly aiding to delay the work
OF construction. Mr. Hill knows that
railroad transportation rates across the
continent will drop with "sickeniny
thud when the canal is completed
But there are many other ways in
which this canal will prove a benefit
to America.
Mr.. Hill seems to deplore the fact
that by our Chinese exclusion policy
we have angered and insulted a ma.
tlon OF 4OO,oOO,O00 people, all prospec-
tive customers" That's it, custom
ers, trade" "commercialism." Mr..
Hill, in his ambition to become the
greatest railroad magnate in the world,
takes narrow and selfish view on all
the questions of which he treats.
Now, every American citizen is
proud OF the position this country
mas taken as world power, proud
OF Its commercial supremacy and all
that. but the people are not yet ready
to let down the bars to Chinese i'm
migration in order to promote
Mr.. Hills personal interests. We
nave our own social and domestic prob
lens to consider and solve, while he
IS hunting for business for his steam
ships and great railroad systems.
Mr.. j. j. Hill is a great man. a wise
man, but he has not yet become so
broad and philanthropic that the peo-
pie will accept what he says without
a lingering doubt as to the motives
which prompt his utterances on pub
lie questions of the day.

AN IMPORTANT DECIsIoN

In accordance with decision re-
Gently given by John w. Yerkes. com
missioner of internal revenue, the in
ternal revenue department has sent
out official notices to Wholesale and
retail dealers in drugs and patent med
lclnes and to manufacturers of patent
medicines in all parts of the country,
informing them that beginning with
December ] of this year all patent
medicines containing a considerable
percentage of alcohol would be class
ed as spirituous liquor and would be
SUBJECT to the rules and regulations
applicable to spirits under the inter
nal revenue laws. Under the new r,Il-
ing all the compounds going under the
name OF medicines, that are composed
chiefly of distilled spirits, without the
addition OF drugs or medicines in Suf-
iicient quantiliest to change the char
acter of the whisky or alcohol mater
tally or giving to it decided medicinal
properties, are to be considered as
distilled spirits and treated according
ly, The manufacturers of such com
pounds will be compelled to pay the
regular special tax for compounding
spirits and all druggists and other
dealers selling such medicines will
be required 10 obtain special licenses
for the sale of liquors.
The recent ruling of Commissioner
1erkes which reverSes former rul
ing of the internal revenue depart
ment, has caused great CONSERVATION
in certain quarters. 1t has been as
certained that enormous quantities of
certain compounds, advertised as pat
ent medicines for certain diseases,
have been consumed in the prohibi,
ton districts of various states and on
Indian reservations. where the pro-
hibition laws are strictly enforced. Ii
is charged that these strongly alco-
hole preparations are responsible for
the terrific increase of drunkenness in
those districts. Under the new regu
lation it will be impossible to obtain
these preparations from dealers. as the

FACTS STRANGER THANsFIcTIoN
Mine Lore Which Makes Scotty and
the Mule Look Like Fairies.

the Mule Look Like Fairies.
Some of us remember "Scotty" and
his dog, who arrived among us IN a
special train and afterward faded
away into the West whence they came.
Now energies from that land of can
yons and yarns and sudden wealth
the story of "Scotty's' mine, about
which he made such a secret. In
Death valley, in Bullfrog district,
southeast of Furnace creek ranch,
lies his Golconda, and his secrecy is
explained perfectly. 1t was "lOst"
mine, and on another mans property.
and now that it has been found again
"Scotty" is likely to have trouble with
the original proprietors. If anybody
found story and names like those
above in a dime novel they would
have been smiled at as fit only for
boyish consumption. AS for ourselves,
we take them as we find them, upon
trust, and decline to subject them to
the test of a search of the maps.
Why spoil the story?
And in a current magazine We find
other facts of the same sort, and no
less adapted to make to bulge the
eyes of desk plodders in the weary
east. Imagine hitching your mule to
tree and having the mule paw away
the earth which hid a mine of fabu-
lous wealth. This certainly is not a
yarn, for the mules owner sued for
share in the claim upon the ground
that it was his mule which made the
discovery, and as he owned the mule
he was entitled to the mules share
The mules owner recovered a third
upon legal evidence. the claim was
sold for 100000. and from the dis
covery has come half of the lead dis
covered in the United States. Sup
pose the mule had been hitched to
another tree, or had not paved away
the earth? And yet there are those
who say that industry is all that is
needed to prospect in any calling.
The discoverer of the Homestake
mine-which ranks among the worlds
sreatest-has just met his death while
looking for gasoline leak with can
die. When he made his discovery
under conditions of hardship and dis.
couragement. he eXcitedly exclaimed.
This is surely a homestake!" That
is, rich enough to permit the weary
prospector seeking home to be sat
isfed. and II was so. The Denver
Republican narrates the romantic
story of one of Manuel's discoveries.
