MINNEAPOLIS MAN BACK FROM
ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.
J. y. Barnes Is Enthusiastic on Sub
ject Of Improving Rivers and Canals

cess by Water to Gulf Ports-Dele-
gates DO to Washington.

Highly satisfied with the results of
the ep-waterWays convention at St..
Louis last week, j. u. Barnes, one Of
the three Minneapolis representatives
appointed for the Upper Mississippi
River Improvement association, reached
Minneapolis yesterday.
Mr.. Barnes reports unanin1ity of ac-
ton between the different organizations
represented and that each association
will have a man at Washington Dec.
b and z, to see what can be done in
congress in the way Of appropriations
for securing the lookedfor improve

Whatever the Lake Superiority lf
| Of fourteen-foot waterway from Lake
Michigan to New Orleans will help
Minneapolis, Mr.. Barnes believes, as

favorably to the shipper will affect Min
neapolis rates and, the price Of wheat.
The first waterway to be considered
will require an expenditure of $31 ,000,-
900, and this will give Duluth access to
the Mississippi thru the Chicago drain.
age canal, the Desplaines and Illinois
rivers. Then it is probable that the
second feature to be taken up will be
the six-foot channel to Minneapolis,
which will cost $30,000,O00, and later
the canal to the head Of the lakes,
either by way Of the headwaters of the
Mississippi, or by way of the ST. Croix

Mr.. Barnes said that about 400 dele.

Der of cities. He found the sentiment
to be in favor Of the deep channel from
Lake Michigan and the convention del
egates will work for that end. The
money for this project will not be need
ed at one time, nor the 100000 for
the upper river improvements. 1t was
the sentiment that $50,000,000 a year
was required for Improvement Of the

are completed. Interests in many sec

GRAIN men TRIM
WALL STREET GANG
EAsTERNERs BURN FINGERS IN
WHEAT PIT.
New York Bulls Become Lambs in
Hands Of Minneapolis and Chicago
Dealers Who Promptly and scienti-
flcally Shear Them-speculators Still
Watch Conditions in Northwest.

Grain men Of the northwest and Wall
street. interests are in a bitter battle
for supremacy in the grain market and
the question now uppermost is, HWho
will win out, the Wall street bulls, led
by Shearson- Hammil, or the northwest
bears, led by Watson and his follow
ing?' & ..' " l@7s ,...s,S.
L Wall street has lost money on the
bull side of wheat. That big interest
has changed over it's holdings from
time to time until the commissions paid
foot up large amounts Besides, the
price losses have been large and direct.
There has been more or less humilia-
ton connected with Wall streets de-
told to keep out of grain, that the tai
ent at Minneapolis and Chicago was
entirely too shrewd and active for
them. The outcome Of the fight is be-
ing watched by the speculative world
with great interest. - ....'.~~'r.~r.
Writers Are Busy.
Both sides continue to send out lit
erary matter, setting forth the actual
conditions of the market and it's sur
roundings. The trade in wheat, how
ever, expects highly-colored news in all
campaigns, and this campaign must not
be an exception to the general rule.
The speculative world has an eye on
conditions in the northwest. The car
supply, the cash demand, and the flour
situation are all being closely watched.
With stormy weather, the receipts will
show falling off at Duluth and, Min
neapolis. That will be feather in
the cap Of the bulls. .. --
In case the northwest has an open
winter and the railroads are able to
haul the wheat that the bears say is
ready for market, the situation will be
favorable to the bears.

What Congress Can Do.

Clear knowledge Of the constitutional
limitations Of congress, coupled with a
dlstrust of the disposition Of the CEN
trail legislature to conserve the rights
OF the laboring class, were shown in an
able, argument made. on this proposed
amendment as by Delegate Andrew Furu-
seth Of the International Seamen 8
union. t''
"Congress can, under the interstate
commerce clause, regulate the products
of labor" said Mr., .Furuseth, Hbut it
cannot legislate fof labor. T do not
consider that it is unfortunate that this
is so and [ doubt the prudence of any
action looking toward such legislation
at present. 49,.
GIVE do not want to extend the pow
er of congress over labor, because only
nine. of the states are at present, in:
fuenced to any extent by the labor
vote, while the remainder are either
agricultural Or at least non-industrial.
Were such power granted to congress
at present, we would not get the short
hours Of Massachusetts,, but the long
hours Of Alabama. aThe senators from
the. agricultural states would block any
legislation in our favor. Hence, in
stead of increasing the federal power
we should restrictsait.s AS it is, we
nave wv mucH '4dDOE' 'leglSlaC10n OF the
sort that shackles us, and much Of it
is Of our own seeking. ..5'@..
HsSenator Beveridge's position on the
child-1abor law should be judged by
the fact that he was speaking in Rich
mono, Ind. He wouldn't have said it
had he been on 1.-the floor Of the
senate.' ..--,.- e.. p
w. bryan, secretary Of the resolu-
ton committee, explained that the COM
mittee had feared the precedent which
would be established by the request
for a federal law 4sta = ~
Fear of the federal Judiciary was
voiced by Delegate Ramsey, who said:
IF we got a federal law and sought
redress under it, we would have to- go
to the federal courts, which are always
hostile to labor, and have life Judges,
who are not afraid to put this hostility
into execution. We can defeat the
state judges at the, polls if they refuse
to enforce our laws. Il Let us keep this
child-labor law close to the people -
The vote then taken resulted in, the
defeat of the Wilson amendment and
put the federation on record for state
laws in preference ato national law.

CAT SAVES TWO LIVES;
North Dakota Animal Saves Owners
From Death by Gas.

North Dakota Animal Saves Owners
From Death by Gas.
A large Angora cat, which has been
the pride of its mistress, Mrs. Butler
of Bismarck, and which won the first
prize at the Minnesota state fair last
year, has further endeared itself to
it's master and mistress by saving
their lives. But for the almost human
instinct of the long-haired feline Mr..
and Mrs. Butler would have been ia
tally asphyxiated. AS it was they had
a very narrow escape.
On retiring, as the room was cold,
Mr.. Butler left the stove draft open.
About 8 a. m. he was awakened by the
scratching and loud yowling of the cat
near his head. He felt deathly sick,
but had strength enough left to turn
on the electric light. and found the
room full of smoke and gas.
With difficulty he aroused Mrs. But
Ter and got her to the open door, and
returned for the cat, which had fallen
to the floor, apparently dead. The
fresh air soon revived all three.
Investigation showed that the creo
sote from the coal had eaten hole a
foot long in the stovepipe, and through
this the gas and smoke was escaping
into the room. But for the intelli-
gence of the cat the couple probably
would have persisted. They are still
i'll from the effects of the gas.

Yet too suggestive were its lines
For fate to hide away.

It's message. as u prayer.

For deep within each heart there lies
The germ OF precious seed:
And 'wistfuk tender. grew. the eyes
. OF one who CHANGED to read
The pleading words: For Old Times
sake
With pathos and with pain.
Sad men'ries in her breast did wake,
That night not sleep again.
For through the years there seemed to
sift
Bright thoughts of other days,
Until there came the little rift
Where friends walked separate ways,
The heart owns what the lip denies.
Held close by Pride'S stern fingers
And softly sings: True love ne'er
dies
Its answering echo fingers.
And SO at last. for Old Times sake.
The one wrote words full tender,
Despite a VOW she once did make.
Since none would know the sender;
The other read that valentine.
Nor guessed that tears and kisses
Were fairly mingled in each line
BY one whose name she misses.
