DEFENDS RAILWAYS.
James J. Hill Of the Great Northern
Before the Commission.

Minneapolis.-James j. Hill, presi
dent of the Great Northern railway,
took the stand Wednesday when the
Interstate Commerce Commission be-
gan its inquiry into the relations be-
tween the railroads and the grain COM
panies in the Northwest.
Mr.. Hill proved to be willing wit
ness. His answers to all questions
were given without hesitation and in
detail. He told of the tremendous
grain traffic on his road, equalling each
year twice as much as the grain
hauled into Chicago in year by all
roads running into that city. He said
that the Great Northern in 1879 hauled
2,S70,000 bushels, while in 1896 this
had increased to probably 115,000,000
bushels. In view of the fact that the
bulk of the Great Northern's business
comes from the farmer. he said 1t has
always been its policy to aid the
farmer whenever possible.
"Is it the policy of your road, Mr..
Hill, to delay freight for any reason?"
was one of the opening questions.
NO, 1t certainly is not" was the re-
ply.
Mr.. Hill thought the present legal
method of handling grain is wrong. but

the speculator. He said every receiv-
ing elevator should devote itself to sim
ply that business; that the operating
in grain should be another separate
business; and that the business of the
grain mixer should be another separate
business.
DO you think the farmer is getting
what he should for his crop?"
~ don't think he is getting what
he should for some classes of grain.
For instance, farmers are now raising
lot of durum wheat. There is good
deal of risk in what the foreign demand
will be, and market at home for only
limited amount"
Mr.. Hill said that elevators are
continually treating the farmers un-
fairly.
I'VE have to watch the elevators all
the time" he said This work is
done by the traffic department, but as
matter of fact the department is
pretty powerless."

The British women suffragists who
created riot in the lobby of the
British house of commons set bad
example to the world. 1t is the be-
lief of many that the influence of
women on public life would be puri-
flying and uplifting. but when body
of petitioners becomes so turbulent
as to call for the interference of the
police and the imposition of fines for
disorderly conduct, then lovely woman
gets down to the level of the tyrant
man, and. being on the level with him,
cannot be his uplifter.-Linn County

Safety of Alcohol,

The greater safety of alcohol. as
compared with gasoline for commercial
uses, is due to the fact that 1t will not
ignite from pure radiated heat as gas
oline does; that water will extingish
burning alcohol while it will only
spread fire of gasoline, and that the
flame of burning alcohol radiates very
little heat. while that of gasoline radi-
ates heat very rapidly.

GASOLINE MOTOR PROVING A SUCCESS

In the near future the o. r. & N.
may be ready to fight the electric rail-
way for passenger traffic between Spo-
kane and the Occur d'Alenes, or the
Palouse country. A new weapon is
at hand for the help of the railways
the gasoline motor.
AS rapidly as the cars can be turned
out of the shops, the Union Pacific is
equipping it's branch lines with it's
new gasoline motors, which, in. the
opinion of E. H. Hartman, will revo-
lutionize the railroad business of the
country by making the small feeder
lines profitable and by overcoming the
threatened dangerous competition of
the electric roads by providing an eff
ficient, rapid and economic interurban
service on the tracks of the steam
roads, says the Omaha report.
Several new cars go into service this
week. Nos. and 9. which proved
themselves capable on their trial run
only few days ago, start on a regular
schedule with trailers between Lincoln
and Beatrice, 80 miles. At the same
time No. with trailer goes to the line
between ST. Paul and Loup City, also
80 miles. No. 1 has been for some
time in service between Kearney and
Galloway. No. is to be held as a
reserve. No. is running between
Leavenworth and Lawrence Kansas.
No. is in California. No. in Texas
and No. Z in New York, each of them
doing duty and making money.
1t is Mr.. Harrimans plan to equip
all the branches of his system with
these cars as rapidly as they can be
built, and to build new branches to
take care of additional cars until the
entire West is gridironed. The cars
are built for passenger business and
the trailers carry baggage, mail and
express. The trailers are built all of
steel, and are of light construction, so
that two men can push them.
