FARMER HINES TALKS
FOR CO OPERATE
FAMOUS RAILROAD PROMOTER
SANGUINE OF FUTURE.
Believes All Things Will Come to Gran
gers Who Combine and Hold Out for
Terms and Prices-Farmers' Railroad
Dies, but Seems All That Was In
tended. -. w.

In the cooperative movement lies the
hope of the farmer and if the purposes
of the organization may not be accomp-
lished direct, cooperation along reason
able lines will serve as club to force
better conditions from persons or class
es now believed inimical. =.
Such is the verdict of "Farmer' D.
W. Hines of Hannah, N. D., whose con-
victions in the necessity Of wide coop
Grafton remains unshaken, despite the
immediate i'll success of his far-famed
"Farmers aRilroad.' Mr.. Hines, or
"Farmer,' as he is known from coast
to coast, and prefers to be dubbed, is
at the Brunswick. He attended the re-
cent session of the Minnesota Farmers
exchange and was one Of the party that
waged such earnest conflict against the
efforts Of a minority to allow vote for
each share Of stock and thus, as his
faction believed, give the rich the con-
troll and prostitute the lofty purpose Of
the organization.
Made Too Much Haste.
cit was this desire to hurry things
and finance the venture quicker that
resulted in the fatal lowering of the
bars in our Farmers railroad, - said
Mr.. Hines last night. "Men who did
not delve deep enough into the fu-
ture made it possible for hostile inter
ests to grasp control Of our project and
wreck it to their advantage. This
shows THAT it would be most calamitous
to swerve single step off the path of
true cooperation in this exchange, but
if the farmers keep plugging away on
the honest, persistent lines they have
started, they will accomplish all they
hope.
"The Farmers railroad was ILL.,
starred itself, it forced the building Of
just such a line as we wanted and the
rates today from Darlington to Duluth
are within few mills of the tariffs we
had decided upon when our line was
still in embryo. We PANIED our line
to obviate a roundabout haul that
made shipping too expensive at so much
per ton, per mile. The roads did not
want to shorten the distance because as
long as their rolling stock was in use

anyway they could send it a third of
the distance farther, receive more, and
still not face the great expense of push
ing line thru unbroken country. With
our line rapidly assuming tangible
form, the magnates were frightened,
wrested it from us and, today, follow
almost our chosen course, giving the
farmers what we wanted, charge of
onethird less than what they had been
paying.' "
Farmer Hines. Joke.
In connection with this projected
road, that made "Farmer Hines, IA
nous turnout the country, good story
is told by a prominent railroad man, a
near relative Of James J. Hill. MIR.
Hines issued annual passes over his line
and sent them to presidents Of all the
big roads. Nearly every one who re-
ceived one Of Hines annual recipro-
Gated with q pass over his line, as men
SO fortunately situated as railroad pres
idents are wont to do Mr.. Hines had
passes over nearly every large, system
except the Great Northern. James J.
Hill, in whose eyes the road was a
sharp thorn replied that tho his lines
and connecting lines traversed almost
every part Of North Dakota, they had
never come into contact with Mr.
Hines line. e..
He added, that he could not afford to
send a pass. IL. "a II
Mr.. Hines was equal to the occasion
and replied that, tho their road was not
as long as Mr.. Hills, it was just as
wide. This was the original Of that ia.
nous joke and it brought both a hearty
laugh and an annual pass from Mr.. Hill
: Mr.. Hines is now dealing extensively
in lands. He is not losing sight of the
cooperative movement, and declares
that some day he hopes to knit all the
present organizations and those that

and floating ice. Under present con-
ditions ships are only slightly delayed
as result Of foggy weather and are
able at all times to communicate with
the Marconi land stations and are
never without knowledge Of their ex-
act location.
/. Success of this kind in respect Of
service between land stations and ves-

similar utility can be attained by

the United States where quick service
between important points is desired.
1t Is in this connection and for this
purpose that he has visited Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul, and if local conditions
seem to justify, a station will be
erected and will be put into active
communication with similar ones in;
points such as winnipeg, Fort Will

1t is not unreasonable to anticipate

White Steamer Reliability.

John Birkholz, now in Augusta, Ca,
writes to the Haynes Automobile Com
pany that his new White arrived in
good condition and is running fine, find
ing it easy to make 40 or As miles an
hour. Mr.. Haynes is also in receipt
of another letter from MIR. Moot, who
is driving Mr. Partridge's White
Steamer in California. Mr.. Moot saws:

The above letters go to emphasize the
reliability of the White Steamer and
the great satisfaction which they are
giving their owners. With no Break

mathematical certainty, laying plans

ley on Friday Evening.

The feast of the patron saint of the
Emerald Isle will be fifty celebrated
next Saturday by every church in the
city which has Hiberian congrega-
ton. The religious services appropriate
to the day will not be sufficient to sat
1sfy the ardor of the sons of Erin who
are planning exercises of a, secular
character to supplement the rites of the
church. Already the shop windows
have taken on verdant tinge sugges-
tive of the opening Of spring, but nei-
Their the fact that green will be fash
lonable color this season nor the ap-
proach of the vernal equinox. is suffi-
cient to account for this change of hue.
Its, real cause is the appearance of
flags with the crownless harp, sham
rocks, and all the other tokens by
which the loyal sons of Erin. and the
public at large acknowledge the natal
day Of Ireland's patron saint.
What They Will Do.
Among the demonstrations in honor
Of the day are the following:
At the Auditorium the congregation
of the Church Of the Immaculate Con-
ception will hold a mass meeting. In
addition to an address by O'Neil Ryan
OF st. Louis, judge of the United States
circuit court, there will be an exten-
sive musical program. Miss Clara Will
hams, Miss Frances Horgan and Miss
Teenie Murphy will sing; Miss Maule
Moore will recite est. Patrick s Mar
tyrs'; Miss Loretta McDellone will
play the Irish harp and the Columbia
quartet will sing.
At the Holy Rosary guild hall: the
Junior Holy Name association will
present "Finigan's Fortune,' clever
farce with cast Of eight characters,
in the afternoon and evening. The
young people have been trained for this
appearance by Rev. Father Duggan.
