Making Change.

Z
b WASHINGTON, May Tin accordance
with the agreement OF last Monday, the
Senate to-day, entered upon the consider
alton OF amendments to the railroad rate
~. under tho fifteen-minute rule, Ihef
greater part OF the day was devoted
TO Mr.. Lodges provision bringing pipe
lines within the terms OF the bill snd It
was ultimately unanimously agreed TO
after so amending It 8 to exclude gas,
and water lines from It's operation, thus
practically combining It to OIL lines,
Final Conference.
There were two roll calls. but neither
was of Importance, as one ACCEPTING the
amendment, there was no division what
ever. while the action taken onE the
other on tho question OF combining the
provislon..yto oil lines was practically
nullified by the subsequent elimination
OF gas and water from the amendment.
The provision was 30 amended MS to make
II applicable to the oil pipe line In tho
Panama Canal zone. h Jus
4 a proposition by Mr.. Foraker to exclude
refrigerator cars from the requirements
of the bill and another by Mr.. h1cCumber5
making the requirements concerning
those cars more stringent than in the
original bill were impartially voted down.
During the day there were many short
speeches on the amendments and also
more or less discussion OF points OF order.
There was an evident general disposition
to await the outcome OF a final CONFER
ence OF the Republican senators and an
ADJOURNMENT over tomorrow was taken
for the purpose.

HIN from oil sides and In explaining the
attitude Of himself and the advocates
Of the suggested legislation. ya1 !,
THE discussion dealt chiefly with tho
various propositions for a court review,
from the broad amendment proposed by
Senator Bailey, Of Texas, to tho restrict
ed amendment offered ly Senator Long,
OF Kansas. n
Tho President, in beginning, indicated
clearly and positively that he would DO
satisfied with the enactment OF the IIep-
burn Bill as It was reported to the Sem
ate from the Committee on Interstate
Commerce.. He pointed out, however,
that some advocates OF railroad rate legls.
latlon-as sincere friends or the legis-
slaton a as he /, himself was--believed It
would DO wise 10 10 amend the measure
- to provide specifically for n review
OF the decisions OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission By the courts.
Allison Amendment.
TO this end the proposition evolved
by Senator Allison. OF Iowa, which now
practically has been agreed upon BY the
Republicans Of the SENATE, was offered,
and, after consideration, was accepted by
the friends OF the measure, including tho
President.
Tho President expressed the opinion that
the effect OF the I5llyson proposition al
ready Is embodied In the Hepburn Bill,
but It also Is his opinion that IL there Is
the slightest doubt that the Hepburn bill,
by implication. does not carry the effect
OF the Ellyson proposition, It ought 10
be Incorporated explicitly In the meas
ure before It's enactment into law Per-
sonally, he favors the narrower restrlc-
ton OF the amendment OF Senator Long.
Hc made It clear that the Judgment OF
the friends OF the measure was so even
l.; balanced on the question Of the Long
amendment that 1t was scarcely worth
while to make contest for It, MS a year
ior two.t OF the laws operation would
demonstrate clearly whether u 1t would be
necessary further to amend the act IN
tho way proposed BY Senator Long.

of senators who believe liconscleIttously
that the railroads are not so bad as they
are declared to be by the more radical

of rates. And If there be, some senators
who are trying to protect the railroads

sirable that an element OF competition
should be introduced by the passage
OF some such law as that which has
already passed tho House, putting

more, the time has come when no

The proceeds of the dance will go

TO BE BANNER YEAP
Settlers are Arriving With Tools and
Stock to Begin Farming at Once.
Others Coming to Look Over
the Country.

With the opening of spring
the people from outside are be-
ginning to take up land in this
vicinity for the purpose of max
ing farms. The Love-Land Go.
which has been instrum entail in
inducing more people to take up
the land in this vicinity than any
other single agency, report that
many will come here this spring.
John Linsdey and family of
Sioux City, Iowa, arrived Tues
with an entire farming outfit and
will begin operation about four
miles west of the city, He also
brings with him two carloads of
stock which wilIform the neucles
of an extensive stock ranch.
Barney Undine also of Sioux
City, Iowa will arrive today CT
tomorrow with a carload of
stock and farming tools and will
settle on Section 1856. Mr..
Undine has been connected with
the Armour Packing Co., but he
has learned that the advantages
offered to the farmer here will
make HIM independent. Thus
the good work goes on. 1t is ex-
pected that this year will be a
banner one in placing new set
tiers On Bayfield, County soil.

ested largely in land informs us

hundred inquiries about land
during the winter. A great
many of those who have made
inquiries expect to visit this
