Many interesting features arrest the
attention of the traveller at La Paz,
which is so far from the beaten path
that it is little changed by foreign con-
tact. A limited number of electric
lights and telephones are the only
.up~to-date improvements. No tram
ways are seen, or other modern
means of altering the primitive life.
A goodly number OF German ana
French, a few English, and perhaps a
dozen American residents make up
the foreign total of $4,000 inhabitants

Duluth, MINI, May 31.-All signs
indicate that this IS TO be a record
breaking year among the steel max
ers. Railroads are ordering thous-
ands of tons for use q extensions and
the relaying of existing tracks.
Forty-two thousand tons are needed
for one of New York's big bridges.
Elsewhere bridge building and rising
skyscrapers in scores of cities help
to swell the demand. And. in add
ton, steel must be supplied for the
rebuilding of San Francisco. This
activity in the steel trade means that
there will be even buster times than
usual on the ranges north of this city
where material for skyscrapers and
bridges is dug from the earth. From
these deposits comes the bulk of the
high grade iron ore used In the steel
making industry. Last year there
were shipped from the Duluth Gus
toms district 21,S30,Ss5 tons or what

part Of metropolitan London, with a

no electric light supply, and Rhond-
da, Welsh city Of more than 10000
people. had neither electric light nor
street railway
The reason for this lack of pro
gressiveness is, Mr.. Burdett says
that the English law allows munich
palities especial privileges in enter
ing commercial business competition
the laws governing the electric light
ing and traction industries, particu-
larry, being framed for the express
purpose of encouraging municipal and
discouraging private enterprise in
those industries Private capital is

dertake to furnish such public service
as in this country is considered not
only a convenience but a necessity
On the other hand municipalities
frequently exclude private enterprise
from undertaking a public service
they will not themselves attempt by
reserving to the city the privilege II
carrying on the industry.
The municipal trans" of Great
Britain are often pointed TO as exam
pies of the splendid success of civic
ownership. According to MIR, Burdett
it all depends upon what people are
willing to consider success. Munich
pal street car fares are low for short
distances, he says, but the fares for
long distances, and the average fare
! per mile travelled. are higher in Eng
land than in the United States, There
are many instances in the United
States. There are many instances il
the United States of rides of fiys
miles or more for five cents, but few
if any, in Great Britain, while free
transfers are unknown there
Financially, municipalizaton has no
shown good results, Mr.. Burdet
points out. Whether or not the in
crease in local debts and taxes o
English cities is to be wholly or chief
~ attributed to the extraordinary ex
tent of so-called municipal trading,
he does not undertake TO say. Blu
that it exists in connection with, an;

that the highest rates are levied il

MEDICINE FOR THE OIL TRUST.

( MEDICINE FOR THE OIL TRUST.
Superior Telegram-If a fraction of
the charges made against the Stand
ard Oil are true, it is time to squelch
the octopus. What a fund of Sunday
school topics there is for young Mr.
Rockefeller in the following facts
abduced last week in The investiga
ton by the interstate Commerce
commission:
That Illinois lines gave the trust so
| to 60 per cent reduction in freight
rates.
That consignments to East St.
Louis were unloaded and reshipped to
Chicago and other points at through
instead of local rates, the saving to
Chicago being the difference between
and Is cents.
That passes were given practically
all Illinois. Indiana and Ohio employees
of the Standard, saving thousands Of
dollars a year
That the Santa Tn load permitted
the Standard to lay pipe line on the
railroads right of way for $50 a mile.
That the same line raised the
freight on oil from the Kansas field to
st. Louis and Kansas City as soon as
the pipe line was opened from the
Kansas fields, absolutely prohibiting
independent shipments of crude oil.
That the agents of the Standard
were obliged to bride railway en-
ployes for information concerning in
dependent shipments.
That Independents were wrecked
throughout Illinois for opposition to
the trust
That Illinois oil inspectors were
bought to condemn good oil of rival
dealers and pass poor oil Of the stand
ard
That secret agents of Standard Oil
put sand in machine oil of rival COM
panies and thus destroyed their trade.
That two and three grades of oil
were drawn from the same spigot by
Standard agents, and from 205 to 20S
gallons taken from 200-gallon tanks.
This law-defying octopus has al
ready exceeded the limit. 1t is the
greatest anarchist of history. Does it
imagine that the American people
VIII submit much longer to such dew
iltry?
If evils cure themselves the oil
trust is furnishing an abundance of

What good, he asks, is to be got out
of all this long and extraordinary in
surance investigation unless all this
will result in the lowering of the
premiums of life insurance? And, If
not, he wants to know what is the
good of it all. What, Their, is the ad-

may as well ask what is the advant-
age of the investigation of the post
office frauds and the prosecution and
punishment of the chief grafters; or
what is the good of prosecuting those
who have been builty of mammoth

to public lands; or what is the ad-

does not get any money in his pocket
