MAY FIGHT THE NEW LAW.
Legal Lights of western Roads to Dis
cuss Hepburn Act.

Chicago, July 1.-THE amendments
to the interstate commerce law which
we're passed al the recent session of
congress are to be discussed by gen
eral attorneys and solicitors of rail-
roads running west out of Chicago at
a meeting to be held here on Monday.
If it is decided to make a test case,
the line of battle Will be planned and
all details arranged.
This conference viii be the out
come of several smaller ones which
have been going on at the headquart-
ers of the several great railway sys-
tens during this week. The Hartman
conference has been in progress in
the office of Traffic Director Stubs
and at this representatives for each of
the roads have been in attendance.
Similar meetings have been held by
the attorneys who represent the Rock
Island-Frisco interests, the Santa Fe
and the Hill lines.
The roads do not propose to sur
render any of their rights to the com
mission without a fight. and a s the law
goes into effect in sixty days it was
deemed advisable to consider the plan

Hill Plans Canal From Great
Lakes to Hudson Bay.
Hopes to Control Vast Traffic in
This Way.
LARGE UNDERTAKING.
Builder Says It vii
Cost No More Than Railroad.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Not satisfied with his gigantic rail-
road undertakings. which after so years,
appear to be only little more than
half completed. James ]. Hill is now
turning his attention to canal building,
and is said to have given his word TO
his friends that boats viii be running
from the Great lakes to Hudson bay
before the first boat passes through the
Panama canal.
AS the proposed water route is
through the Winnipeg river and Lake
Winnipeg, his purpose in making the
Manitoba capital the eastern terminal
OF his new Canadian transcontinental
line instead of some point on Lake Su-
periOr, is explained.
The building OF the canal will make
Hill practically master of the transpor-
tatiOn business of the Northwest, ana
Will protect him against the incursions
that have been made into his territory
by other railroad interests within the
past few years. With his three trans
continental roads, his Pacific steamship
lines and his boats on the Great lakes,
he will be able practically to dictate
affairs in one of the richest sections OF
the world.
MI Hill in a recent conversation with
friends in St. Paul. declared that the
route of his proposed canal is feasible,
and that its building would be as cheap
there is nothing in the way of the con-
struction of the canal and the route has
already been surveyed.
It is proposed to have the canal start
from some place on Lake Superior
northwest through the Rainy river and
the Lake of the Woods. to the Winni-
peg river, past the city of Winnipeg, to
Lake Winnipeg From there it would
be necessary only to dredge out the
channel into Hudson bay. thus connect
ing the Great lakes with the bay and
the Atlantic ocean.
Mr.. HIS latest plan will. go long
ways toward allaying the opposition to
his enterprises that has been raised by
Canadians. For some time there has
been great fear expressed that Mr-Hills
railroad building in Western Canada
would result in diverting much traffic
from the Dominion to the United States,
and that the commerce of the country
would suffer.
With the canal completed. the bene-
fits would be just as great to one coun-
try as TO another. While boat lines
would be maintained from Buffalo.
Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee
and other American ports with the
Northwest, the same advantage would
be given to the ports on the Canadian
side Of the Great lakes.

Sluggish Liver Described, How P,
ru-na Relieves Such Cases

A sluggish liver is brought abou'
in the following way. There IS q
catarrhal condition Of the mucous;
membrane lining the stomach
This catarrhal condition spreads
downward to that portion OF the
alimentary canal just below the
stomach known as the duodenun,
Into the duodenum empty the
bile ducts These bile ducts are
lined with mucous membrane con
tinuous with the mucous membrane
of the duodenum. The catarrhal
Inflammation therefore gradually
spreads from the membranes Of the
stomach and duodenum into the
bile ducts.
This thickens the mucous mem
branes and clogs up the ducts The
bile is then turned back into the
liver and the whole circulation OF
the liver inpeded. producing what
is known as a sluggish liver.
Cathartics bring only temporary
relief. They slush out the liver for
the time and relieve this sluggish
ness. but it has been the universe
experience of mankind that the
sluggishness Will return very quick
~. The only permanent relief is
obtained from course of treat
ment that tends TO aIlay the catar-
rIlaI Inflammation. Thousands OF
people have found Peruna to be
such remedy. It removes the
cause of the sluggishness of the
liver by removing the catarrha
