has been stationed at Brazos, all of
whom are sorry to have him go,
but wish him we'll in his new loca-
ton. Capt. Haugland returned to
Point Isabel this morning. Life at
Brazos Santiago is not one of
gayety, and it is difficult to retain
a crew. The work is not hard and
it is not often the life savers are
called upon to reserve unfortunate
victims from the briny waves, but
the necessity of retaining a crew
there IS apparent to all.
The weather since yesterday has
been of the sort which we are wont
to boast in The sunny south. If a
wintry blast strikes US it only lasts
a very short time, and soon old
Boreas must give way to the smil-
ing rays of old Sol. As the days go
by the northern visitors who are
spending the winter here, become
mere and more delighted. In fact
it is hard for them to realize that
winter has come and almost gone.
When land of almost perpetual
spring is SO easy of access as is the
Brownsville country, and the other
conditions are so favorable, il is a
source of great wonder why the
north should not be ssalmost depop-
ulated at least during the winter
months, If the denizens of the
north could be picked up bodily
and transported here for a few
hours, and then taken back to their
SHOW covered domain, it would be
the most convincing argument that |
could be used in favor of this sec
ton, and would result in such an
influx Of visitors that a large and |
first class hotel would be an abso- |
lutte necessity, and by the way, !
such a hotel is badly needed in
Brownsville.

Late Youno's Illustration,

Mr.. Lafayette Young, who went
abroad with the Taft party, confesses
that he came back worse standpatter
than ever before. 1t certainly does
seem so when he uses such arguments as
he is credited with insan interview in
the Minneapolis Tribune this morning.
"The producers of wheat in .Minneso-
ta,' he says, ~"do not want free trade
with Canada. The millers do, tho. Like
all manufacturers, they want the raw
material at the, lowest price In other
words they want to buy on a free trade
basis and sell on a protective basis
The illustration is rather unfortu-
nate for the standpat side Of the ques-
tion since the miller has nothing to sell
on a protective basis. He sells in the
free markets of the world. He cannot
charge what he would for his -four at
home because the business is not syndi
Gated as some others have been under
| the tariff. He cannot rake down an
extortionate profit at home and sell his
surplus abroad for less than cost as can
| be done in trust lines, which have the
| "shelter' of the tariff. Hs# y

OMAHA SHORTENs ROUTE
ELIMINATION OF CURVE AT ST.
PETER AND OTHER IMPROVE
MENTs COST A SMALL FOE
/ TUNE.

Special to The journal.
st. Peter, Mimi, June 21.-Winston
Brothers & Dear of Minneapolis have
finished the work of grading the st.
Peter Ottawa short line and have
shipped their machinery to Valley City,
n. D., where they have a contract for
the Northern Pacific.
Their work at this point was under
taken as part of the Omaha road 8 plan
OF strengthening it's track and thereby
permitting a reduction in running time
between Minneapolis and Omaha. One
of the longest curves on the road is
just north of this city, and it was to
avoid this detour that the officials de-
termined to build across the meadow
lands in the Minnesota river bottom.
More than year has been consumed
in the work, but in that time Winston
Brothers & Dear completed some six
miles of difficult grade successfully
brldged morass known as Coteau lake,
and reinforced every foot Of the en-
bankment with riprap as protection
against high water in the river.
Including the new depot which was
erected at st. Peter it is estimated
that the improvements have cost the
Omaha. fully 100000, and the actual
saving of distance is only a mile and
half. Now that the grading is com.
pleted, the laying of steel will be be-
gun Immediately, and regular trains
will be running over the line in few
weeks. r Ga

GRADING CONTRACT LET 1
Minneapolis Firm Will Build Three

Albert Lea, June 21.-The contra ct
for grading the first three miles out
Of the city for the D., st c., G.. & NJ,
generally known as the Alphabet''
line, has been let to H. F. Balch g.
Go. of Minneapolis, and the work is to
begin at once.
The grading is to be completed "A
ninety. days or less. and the manage
ment is anxious to get this link com
pleted as soon as possible. A year ago,
commenced, it was. at a point three
miles out of the city on the line of the
Minneapolis g. St Louis as it was
thought the new line would use that
line for that distance and save the
heavy right of way charges and the
expensive grade. Since then the man
agement has changed and it is now de-
clded that an entirely Independent line
IS required to- ace ompiish what the
owners expect Of the Alphabet"
The new line is laid out and right Of
way bargained for from Cream to St.
Clair, and work beyond will be taken
up at once. The track is expected to
| be laid from this city to Freedom not
later than Oct. l, and then trains will
be put on to do the local work.
| The management has decided to leave
Mankato off it's map and the people of
that place. who have heretofore shown
considerable Indifference as to the
course the new road would go, have
awakened and have invited E. L. Tobie.
who has charge of the work and repre-
sents the parties furnishing the funds,
to come there and confer with the Com
mercial club about the matter, and

instead of going five or six miles to

Another Primary Law Tested.

North Dakota has passed thru its
first experience with state primary
law The first reports indicate that the
system worked fairly we'll. Nomina-
tions for the legislature and for county
offices were made by, direct vote, just
as they are in Minnesota. Delegates
to the state convention were elected IN
each county by direct vote. and in the
larger counties this was found rather
cumbersome. With two tickets Of thir-
ty or more names on each one, run
together in alphabetical order, the voter
had quite a task picking out the set
which stood for his principles. Natur-
ally, with its more perfect organiza'
ton, the machine got the better OF this
system. The voters, however, felt that
their demand for primary law had
been substantially complied with.
The South Dakota machine made the
mistake of refusing to give the state
any kind of a primary law. This
aroused resentment and the machine was
defeated. In North Dakota the organ
ization leaders have been more consid-
crate of public sentiment, and so they
have extended their lease Of power.
They have handled affairs so as to leave
the insurgents without any big issue
except bossism and the personality OF
the leaders. In this campaign, appar-
emily, the insurgents lacked aggressive
leadership as well as an issue, and their
failure under such conditions was al
most inevitable Without a candidate
for governor or any other strong rally
ing point, it is really surprising that
the opposition was able to make as
good showing as it did. Several OF
the larger counties seem to have been
won by the machine with very small
margin. ~: ..--.-.;
No reports have been received yet
as to the size Of the vote pelled. 1t
will be interesting to see how the vote
compares with the republican strength
at the last general election. Undoubt'
edly it was much heavier than the at
tendance at the old-fashioned caucus.

REVIEW ELECTRIC LINE
GAINESVILLE Business Men Interested In
Trolley to Madison.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, June PA new in
dependent movement to build the long
desired interurban electric line TO con-
meet GAINESVILLE with Madison has been
launched at meeting of local business
men with II. H Clough of Elyria, Ohio,
former superintendent of the Rockford,
Beloit & GAINESVILLE line. The plan con-
templates the securing of a fifty-year
franchise with liberal freight carrying
privileges, and it is expected that the
actual work of construction will begin
before fall. @aItlE 9-s
The route selected probably will be
the same as was surveyed under
Clough 8 direction for the Rockford.
Beloit & GAINESVILLE line. Along the
line to Madison it is expected to take
over the GAINESVILLE street railway sys-
tenn and to expend SIC. 900 in improve
ments. This property is owned by the
Blaben estate of Philadelphia, and
Clough has an option On it.
It is understood that assurances have
been given in Madison and intervening
cities that the way will be clear for
the new enterprise.

Prejudice In Favor Of Pure Food.

In your issue of the 18th, a Chicago
correspondent says in speaking of the
pure food bill: ... a
All indications are that, after having
succeeded in softening the terms Of the
senate pure-food bill to the utmost ex-
tent, these special Interests, which have
been represented all winter in Washing
| tons by lobbyists, have succeeded in
frightening the leaders of the house, In
Ecluding, apparently, the all-powerful
speaker himself into the belief, If such
| bill is passed, the whole tribe of in
fringers upon public health and comfort
would help to keep the republicans out OF
majority in the house Of representa-
| tives.''
Is 1t possible that the present house Of
representatives will jeopardize the lives
| OF 80,O0O,000 Of people in the United
States by voting against the passage OF a
pure-food bill. I am what you might call
an old republican. I cast my first vote
for Fremont and Dayton, and shall vote
against any candidate for congress, be he
republican or democrat. who voted
against a pure-food bill, and so will mill
