HILL TURNS GRAIN

Great Northern's Head Swings

With Nebraska Road the Great
Railroad Builder Lops Of
Chicago Business.

Grain men of Omaha and Chicago are
disturbed over the activity Of the Hill
interests in the western Iowa and east
ern Nebraska territory that lies COM
petitive to Chicago and Minneapolis.
It is alleged that Mr.. Hill is out to
capture for Minneapolis large tonnage
$here originating. Chicago has been
to prevent loss of prestige as a cash
grain center, and is watching every
move of competing markets. Mr.. Stick
ney of the Great Western road has
been working to build up Omaha as
grain market. Meanwhile the Great

upon the 'Ashland loop, which, by

quicker transfer of northbound freight
and made the Great Northern a power
full competitor for the Minneapolis haul

Sofore gone east to Chicago.
Northern Outlet.
The territory embraced in this tri.
Singular piece made up Of several Iowa
and Nebraska counties, seeks an outlet
either on the straight eastern haul to
Chicago or to the northward to Mime
apolis or Duluth. In many past years
Chicago has dominated. More recently
Minneapolis has been aggressive. A
that with the Ashland shortline, it's
line was from Sioux City to O,Neil,
its line to Niobrara, and the later ex-
tensions that are to connect it more
closely with the Burlington, the Great
Northern IS in position to compete.
From Niobrara or Sioux City to Will
mar is almost a straight haul, and
thence grain may come direct to Min
neapolis or to Duluth. Chicago grain
men see great danger in this as shut
ting out their city. At the same time,
many Omaha firms are doing their best
to induce Mr.. Hill to extend his Sioux
City line Of the Great Northern to Oma-
ha and thus furnish that city with the
privilege of sending it's. grain to the
east by the northern route. -z
Better for Minneapolis.
For several months it has. been, evil
dent that Mr.. Hill is planning better
things for Minneapolis and Duluth and
the. interests represented by him have
insisted upon giving Minneapolis the
same rates that Chicago is given. by
extending this system Of rate adjust:
pent to Duluth, he would thus have the
benefit Of a stronger line than he now
enjoys and would be able to divert
the export grain from a large section
Of Nebraska away from Omaha and
Chicago.
Chicago grain men are ready to pro
test against any arrangement which
would divert traffic Even now they
are laying their lines to force more
equitable adjustment of the differentia
on grain from this common territory
to both Minneapolis and Chicago. Wha-
is now needed TO effect this is an agree
ment from the eastern lines that rate:
on export grain from the northwest vii
be the same thru Chicago as thru Min
neapolis and other routes.

Washington, July 6.-Again the Unit
ed States will probably figure as a
peacemaker. Guatemala and Salvador
are making overtures for the arbitra-
ton of their troubles resulting from the
alleged activity of Salvador in support
of the revolutionary movement against
President Cabrera of Guatemala, and
it is likely that the United States will
be selected as the country in which the
board of arbitration will meet.
The state department has been adj
vised Of the desire Of the two countries,
which are almost at the point Of MAX
ing war against each other, to have
their differences settled by arbitration,
and altho formal negotiations have not
been made there seems to be but little
doubt that an anicable settlement of
the points of difference will be finally
effected thru arbitration. IS

will be second in power only to the
which is by all odds the most formid-
able in the world. 1t will embrace
either thirteen or fourteen frst-class
battleships, which will be divided into
four squadrons. This force will be
supplemented by squadron of four or
five first class armored cruisers under
command of Rear Admiral Brownson,
a torpedo fotilla and a number Of fleet
auxiliaries, such as GOLFERS, repair ships,
etc
1t is also likely that the squadron Of
four cruisers, known as the fifth divi-

PROTECT YOUR VITALITY.
Bratton's Sensible Advice to Take
Care of the Digestion.

The vital part of the human ma
chine is the stomach. When it Is
strong and acts naturally, so that di
gestion is perfect and the food that
furnishes our steam power is stimu.
lated, and the waste properly re-
moved, then we can do our best work
and get the most enjoyment out of
life.
On the other hand, if the stomach
gives out, all the vital organs will soon
become weakened and diseased. There
will be headaches, backaches, pains in
the sides and limbs, specls before the
eyes. loss of appetite, sleeplessness
weakness and debility.
Bratton Drug Company advise peo-
pie to take care of the digestion by
strengthening the stomach with Milo
ma stomach tablets. a remedy which
they absolutely guarantee is a positive
cure for all stomach troubles, except
cancer of the stomach, and sell it
with the understanding that it costs
nothing unless it cures.

THE STATE ELECTION
IN OREGON TODAY
is REGARDED AS ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT IN THE HIS
TORY OF THE STATE.
Special to the Herald.

Special TO the Herald.
Portland, Ore, June 4.-Today's
election in Oregon is regarded as one
of the most important in the history
of the state. In addition to electing a
full state ticket the voters are called
upon to elect representatives in the
several congressional districts and
to express their preference for United
States senator, one of the latter to be
elected to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Senator Mitchell and the
other for the long term to succeed
Senator John NJ. Gearin.
Governor George Z. Chamberlain
has been named for reelection by the
Democrats, while the governors Dem
ocratic appointee. John NJ. Gearin, is
candidate to succeed himself in the
United States senate for the full
term. The Republican ticket is head
ed by James Withycombe as the gu
bernatorial candidate, F. w. Mukey
is the Republican candidate for sen
ator for the short term and Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., is the candidate for the
long term senatorship.
In addition, eleven measures are
submitted to the people for their ac-
ton. Five are constitutional amend
ments and five are initiatory laws,
while the eleventh relates to an appro-
priation bill passed by the last legis-
lature. The most important measures
from a popular viewpoint are those
proposing woman suffrage, home rule
for cities. initiative and referendum
on special laws, an anti-pass law, and
gross earnings tax on private car lines
and on express, telephone and tele-
graph companies.
The campaign has been a spirited
one and both sides appear confident
of success. The Republicans, how
ever, seem certain of winning in the
congressional elections and also in
the legislative contests. Governor
Chamberlain, the Democratic standard
bearer, squeezed in two years ago by
plurality of 246, although all the
rest of the Republican state ticket
was elected, and Roosevelt had plu-
rality Of nearly $1,000. The Demo
Gratis likewise elected the governor in
1902 by a plurality of 276. But nor
