REBATES PAID FROM
the FARMERS POCKET.

Stakeholder Swift. OF the lnterna-
tional Harvester Company has been
mixing some sensational charges
against that Trust, which has accused
him of fraud in selling a patent to
which it claims title. The public are
not concerned with the accusation that
Swift is a rogue, but if his statements
be true the Trust has received millions
of dollars in secret and unlawful re-
bates from the railroads. says the
Sacramento Bee. 1t is alleged that ten
different Western railroads have been
paving debates to this great corporation.
According to Swift harvesters which
cost the Trust only $57 to make are sold
to farmers by agents at a price OF sl25,
the agents paying sos. If, in addition
to the profit indicated by the figures,
the Trust also gets a fat slice Of the
freight charges, it must be making
heaps of money at the expense OF the
farmers.
Swift demands, in the suit he has
brought against the Trust for an ac-
counting, that it be compelled to pay
back to the railroads the large sums it
has illegally exacted from them in re-
bates.
We may pity the unfortunate rail-
roads thus plundered Of a part OF their
charges ON what the traffic will bear.
but, if the Trust is to be made to dis
gorge, the farmers who paid the full
freight rates should get the rebates.
Little incidents like these in the lives
of the big Trusts harden the heart OF
the ~husbandman against private own
ership of steel highways. He begins
to think the best way out of his trans
portation troubles is to have the Gov.
eminent own and operate the Iail-
roads. That would put a stop to re-
bates, which would permit the lower
ing of freight charges.
Under private ownership the farmers
and other producers are robbed in order
that the Trusts and other large shippers
may be paid rebates.

Prospecting in the Nevada Desert

cross the valley to the hills beyond for
the purpose Of searching for a mine.
Blistered by the ~scorchiug rays of SUI,
tormented by the whirling clouds of
dust and the eddying columns OF alkali,
these men plod slowly on to fortune.
sometimes, more often to q hopeless
ending of their dreams, and not infre-
quently to their death.
Danger Turks in Food.
Some imagine that with a canteen OF
water there is no danger on the desert,
but such is not the case. Men die on
the desert from other causes than lack
of water. The intense heat drives them
to insanity and they wander from the
trail and are lost.
Canned goods are commonly used on
the desert, but all who use this class of
provisions should know and remember
that having once opened a can OF fruit,
vegetables or meat, it should be re-
moved at once iuto a crockery, glass or
enameled vessel of some kind, for in
the heat of that country ptomaine
poison quickly develops in opened
canned goods-particularly in those
which contains acids. such as tomatoes,
apricots, etc.
Canned milk is also dangerous to
leave in the cans when opened. The
excessive use of sailed meat should be
avoided. although unfortunately this is
about the only kind that eau be carried
about with the camp outfit. Bacon,
ham, dried beef, canned corned beef,
etc., are staples and are almost indis-
pensable, but they should be used in
moderation. for the liberal use OF these
meats only intensiies the thirst natural
in this heated dry atmosphere.
How to Take Care of Water.
When stationed in a camp the water
should be kept in q barrel or a canvas
sack. The latter if hung up will keep
the water several degrees cooler than
the atmosphere. If the water is in an.
teens keep the outside covering IF the
canteens wet continually and put them
in the sun, which will have a tendency
to quickly dry out the moisture. The
rapid evaporation lowers the tempera-
ture aud cools the water. Ii is only
due to this rapid evaporation of moist
ure that human beings, horses and
other animals can exist under such con.
ditions. No matter how freely one per-
spires the moisture is rapidly evapor-
ated. and thus the heat is bearable. In
the middle of the day it were better to
rest aud not attempt to travel.
When to Travel.
Experienced desert man make early
and late journeys. resting for several
hours during the middle of the day
from ii to 4-and where possible travel
mostly at night.
Some think that the only really
dangerous portion of the desert is in
Death Valley. but the difference be.
tween the climatic conditions in that
noted depression and in the region sur.
rounding it is scarcely worth mention
ing.
The entire region is hot, dry and ex.
tremely dangerous to those unaccus-
toned to its terrors. The months of
July and August are the hottest
usually, and it would be well for strang.
ers to the desert and its conditions to
put off a contemplated journey to that
region until October or November at
least.

With the coming of midsummer re-
ports begin to reach the outside world
of the hardships and loss Of life on the
great desert of southern California and
Nevada. There are few people who
have never been in that arid region
who fully realize the discomforts. the
hardships and the dangers attendant
upon a trip through this desert in mid
summer. The rains have ceased, the
heat Of day is Undesirable, and 1t lasts
far into the night. II it were not for
the cool hours from about IL to sunrise,
which permits the denizens of that
region TO, in a measure, recuperate
their energies, life would be unendur-
able there. Although after midnight
it is almost invariably cool. Is hours out
of "a of zach Summer day are so hot
that il is all that the average human
being can do to exist through it, and
yet there are thousands of men and
woman, and children, too, who have
gone into that section within the past
few months in the effort to snatch from
opportunity a fortune as it whirls by in
a cloud of heated desert sand and alkali.
Terrible Heat of the Great Basin.
Soon after sunrise the power of the
sun makes itself felt. Metal expands
and crackles like in a quickly heated
stove as the suns a y grow steadily
hotter and hotter. By 2 O'Clock in the
morning the temperature has usually
reached or passed the 100 degree mark.
aud shortly after midday it is not un.
common to see the Thermometers reg.
lister anywhere from ITO to l25 degrees
in the shade.
The heat is dry, intensely dry, and
this is the only salvation of the unfort-
innate beings who have, i'll most cases,
voluntarily exposed themselves to this
Summer climate of the Great Basin
region. Were there much of humidity
in the atmosphere at such q tempera.
ture human existence would be impossi.
BILE. The bright metallic glare of
the midday sun is terrible, ven
to those who have for years been
accustomed to it. but for those who can
not stand high temperatures, life on
the desert in Summer is a veritab.e
hell ON earth.
Optic Illusions of the Desert.
II the lot of those who remain in the
towns is thus made almost unbearable,
what of the less fortunate p~rospectors
who venture out into the hills or at
tempt to cross some searching stretch
of sand to reach the mountains ON the
opposite side-seemingly so near, but
really a long days journey and perhaps
two. distant-for distant objects seem
n ear Oh this southern desert? One may
stand ON a hilltop and gaze out across a
desert valley in the center of which is a
patch of clay colored earth. level as the
loor-a dry lake, or perhaps it may be
as white as the new fallen snow, due to
the deposit of mineral salts ON its sur,
face.
No objects attract the eye in this
lonesome death-like valley. Take Q
powerful field glass and scan the d S
ert closely. and perchance you will SEE

LOCAL BILLS.

The local bills introduced into the
Legislature to secure sewerage, electric
lights and another school building for
the city of Marietta, to be voted on by
the people to issue bonds for the same,
passed the House and Senate, but the
waterworks bill after passing the
House, was tabled by Senator Blalock
in the Senate. This, we learn, was
brought about by some of our citizens
who wished to have the three water
works commissioners named in the bill.
This was opposed by the City Council,
who wished the commissioners elected
by the people. Hon. E. P. Green
favored the latter and Hon. G. H. Grit
fin favored the former. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the bill was not passed by
the Senate so that sewerage and water
works could go together. This only
delays very important measures that
our people are anxious to have settled
The town needs a good system of
sewerage, but the city should own its
own waterworks to flush these sewers.

Fort Yates, N. D., Feb. 25.-It is about time
for some alleged survivor of the Custer mas
sacre on the Little Big Horn in 1876 to turn
up in some eastern city with stories of his
escape. AS matter of fact, halfbreed named
Curley, who escaped before the fighting began,
was the only man who ever got away. This
is well known to the Indians here. who GER
tainly ought to know. Lieutenant Harrington s
body was never recovered and the reason was
always a mystery until the story was told In
T he Q urna some years ago. TO this day
many Of the Indians who participated in the fight
do not know how he became separated from his
comrades and died some distance from the
battlefield.
Lieutenant Harrington was pursued by the In
dams for miles until all but two had given
up the chase. Just they had also about de-
cided to give up, they puff of smoke
and Harrington fell from his horse, dying by
his own hand rather than toi fal into me
clutches Of the Indians. The place where he
died, 50 one Of his pursuers says is muddy
alkali fiat. and it may be that his body was
covered with the mud. Anyway 1t was never
recovered. At the request OF Lieutenant Har-
rington's mother the writer has endeavored to
find If any Indians ever had his Masonic charm
or watch or other jewelry, which 1t is believed
he wore at the time of his death, but without
success. Mrs. Harrington wrote that 'she bore
