Suggests Flat Reduction.

The letter suggests the justice OF
this opinion, and that broad view OF
the matter will convince that it is bet
ter for all to pay full fare for a time,
until the railroads shall OF their own
motion or by legislative enactment ex.
tend uniformly lower rates to all the
people of the, state.
This construction says the letter,
may at first consideration appear TO
be disappointment to you and others
similarly situated, who consider them
selves entitled to a preference in re
spect 10 receiving free transportation,
bur | trust that you will entertain the
broader view that it Is better to pay
full transportation rates until such
times as transportation companies
shall be able or compelled to extend TO
all the people of the state substan.
tial reduction in passenger rates.
Does any good reason occur to you,
why If free transportation be issued to
YOU it should not be likewise issued
tc every merchant, business man, me-
canic, laborer or farmer. II must be
true that the expense OF carrying per
sons who receive free transportation
Is borne by some one and It is not
probable that the expense is borne by
the railroad companies, but rather that
II Is loaded upon people less able to
pay the same than yourself, but VINO
are obliged 10 pay full fare when they
travel
1T would surely be unsatisfactory to
YOU to know or suspect even that
others under like conditions were re-
ceiying free transportation or even a
preference over you. Taking the oppo'
site view the same telling would be en-
tertained toward you under like con IL
tons II you were so favored while
they. being equally entitled thereto,
we're not. The great aim OF the rail-
way commission act is to secure sub
sfantial equality to all In all kinds or
railroad service. II appears 70 me
thar this object should receive the APP
prevail and support OF all good citi.
zens.

correspondence Between senator and Paul Morton DIsHipates Misap- prehensiOns Regarding

New York, Aug. 31.-Announcement was made today by the officers Of the Equitable Life Assurance Society that lhe indebtedness to the society of the Depew Improvement Company was paid this afternoon, the principal and in terest amounting to $293.S50.S2. The correspondence incident to the trans action was also,, at the suggestion of President Paul Morton, made public to the end, Mir. Morton said. that an inn pression unjust to Senator Chauncey Nj. Depew might be removed.
 The correspondence consists of three letters of even date, the first addressed 10 Mir Morton hy Henry B. Anderson of the law firm of Anderson & Ander- son. attorneys for the Depew Improve ment Company, announcing that the re- organization committee of the Depew Improvement Company. having per fected the title to the property not cov- cred by the Equitable mortgage, was prepared to take over the property which secured the loan. paying in cash to the Equitable the face of the loan and interest The second letter, also addressed to Mir. Morton, is from Sena- tor Depew, who states explicitly his part in the transaction between the inn provement company and the Equitable Society and points out what he declares are inaccuracies in published state ments through which a grave injustice has been done him.
 Among other things Senator Depew says: T had nothing to do with the organization of the Depew Improve ment Company. not even authorizing the use of my name, nor was I in any way connected with 1t until five years after bs incorporation, when pur- chased for S1oo.ooo in cash a one-hf-

 Washington. Aug. 31.-The board of consulting engineers of the Panama Ca nal Commission. which Is to make rec concentrations as to whether the Pan anna Canal shall be constructed with locks or should be a sea-level canal. will meet here tomorrow. This board is made up of army officers and eminent engineers of America and foreign countries. The board was created by President Roosevelt In an executive or der made last June. and to it will be referred all data that has been collected by the commission bearing on the type of the proposed canal The board is to make It's recommendations to the 18th milan Canal Commission, which, in turn. will report to the President

tieth interest in the stock of the com pany. The company at that time had a tract of land consisting of about D. 700 sub-divided lots and 265 acres not sub divided.
 "The Equitable Life loaned $250,o0O upon 1.575 of the company's lots. These lots were selected as constituting the most valuable tracts there. At the time the mortgage was made these lots were selling, the lowest at $500 and the highest $500 each. The valuation placed upon the plot by the Equitable appraisers at that time was S393,750 and upon the balance of the land owned by the company $540, 900, a total valua- tion of the property at $sS4,750. An appraisal was at the same time made and submitted to the Equitable by William B. Cutter, one of the leading real estate men of Buffalo, in which he appraised the value of the lots loaned on at $76s.0
 Tn 1901 a real estate depression set in. in and about Buffalo, which low cred values and checked the growth in the town of Depew. It was at this time, October ', 1901, and not when the loan was made in January, 1898. that the insurance department appraised the part of the property covered by the Equitable's mortgage at $150. .0OO."
 MT. Depew then recites the charges that have been made against him, de nying each. Of the charges which re- lated to transactions resulting in the default of the company and the fore closure of the loan by the Equitable, he says that as a result of the com pany's embarrassment a reorganization was determined upon and though there were unavoidable delays the plan was progressing as rapidly as possible. The company was to be incorporated and was to issue bonds for S75O,000 to sup ply funds to take up the Equitable mortgage. principal and interest, and to pay the other debts of the company. There was never any other purpose than the Equitable should be fully pro- tected.
 The foregoing communications were acknowledged in the following letter:
 August 31, 1905. My Dear Senator:
 I am very much pleased to receive your letter and the communication Of the reorganization committee of the De- pew Improvement Company, which dis posed of the matter in a manner en- tirely satisfactory to the Equitable. An impression of the situation which was erroneous and unjust to you has pre- vailed. think that 1t can be best re- moved by making these two communi- cations public. and will do so if these actions will be agreeable to you
 Yours very truly

 Washington, Aug, sl.
 Gerald c. Dudgeon, superintendent of agriculture for West Africa. is in Washington on his way to make a study of cotton conditions in the South.
 "The demand for cotton is increas- ing constantly and the worlds sup ply Is not increasing in proportion, with the result that the English man ufacturers are so worried over the outlook that they are making every ef- fort to increase the area of produc- ton in the colonies and elsewhere" !" said MT. Dudgeon today.
 The greatest problem in American cotton" he went on, 'Is the perfec- tion of the upland problem The American ylanter has paid little atten- tion to his seeding, resulting in de- terioration of the plants. The staple Is too short at the present time. Tn the rest of the cotton producing world they are unable to do much better. Now, then, If American planters improved their plant they would be in more advantageous position than the planter elsewhere. The growing population and purchasing power of the world calls for more cotton pro- ducts. Manufacturers are increasing, but not so the raw product There will be a scarcity for some years to come. To the English manufacturer the danger constantly increases be- cause in the event of a short crop in America prices go up and he is forced to shut down and is ruined. There fore, he looks for extension of area in Africa and India In order to pre- vent the crisis that otherwise hastens upon him.

A Progressive Institution

Keeping pace with business develop
ment we find that educational matters
have not been neglected. One of the
largest institutions, the Eclectic Bust
ness College, after years of prosperity
has, by reason Of its increased patron
age, been pushed into larger quarters.
The College is located in its new
home at the corner of Third Avenue
South and Fifth Street. The location
is the best the city affords, being a
quiet corner in a refined section.
The best faculty of business educa-
tors to be procured will be in charge
of the various departments, which in
cludes Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Type
writing, Penmanship, Telegraphy,
Preparatory, Electrical Engineering,
Civil Service, Teachers and Physical
Culture.
An attractive feature will he a thor
oughly equipped gymnasium for both
ladies and gentleman.
The large number of graduates hold
ing responsible positions is a standing
tribute to the thOrOughness of the
work. An inspection of the new quar-
tiers discloses the fact that the Eclec-
tic will be the best and most thor
Oughly equipped commercial school
in the Northwest.
The fall term opens September 4th.
Any young person interested in COM
mercial work should write the Eclectic
Business College for terms and cata-
logue. 12-w3
