GOVERNMENT IN QUEST
OF FACTS ABOUT
JAPANESE
Railroads Requested to As
certain Number Entering
This Country.
MANY OF THEM HAVE
DODCED INSPECTORS

San Francisco, Cal, July 12.-The
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe rail-
roads have been asked by Secretary
of Commerce and Labor Strauss Il
furnish him with data as to the num-
Der of Japanese they have carried
during the past eighteen months from
points in Texas, New Mexico and Art
zona, near the Mexican border.
For many months the bureau II
immigration has had inspectors in
Mexico watching the Japanese immi-
grafton.
There have been large numbers OF
Japanese who have purchased tick
cts from various points in Mexico 10
places in Canada, thus obtaining per-
mission to travel through the United
States, and it has been a noticeable
fact that, of the hundreds who travel
ed this route, none have reached Ca
madam borders. The officials In
charge of the customs houses and
other inspection points in the north
report that not a single Jap has ar
rived there.
1t is their object, when they pur-
chase the tickets, to stop at some
point in the United states and trust
to luck to dodge the inspectors
There are many points where they
can dwell in almost absolute secur-
ity.

ANOTHER SAMPLE OF FAKE REFORM IS SHOWN UP
Statements of Supplies Bought For Use on Scenic Route
Reveal Astonishing System in vogue.-Two Dealers Under
Identical Conditions Receive Widely Different Prices
For Same Supplies-HoW 1t Was Done

Santa Fe, N. NJ, July 12.-(Spec-

light when Marion Littrell, the new
prison superintendent began going
over the vouchers and accounts OF
the penitentiary in the hopes that he
could find enough funds, ETC., on

The copies of two bills for prison

1T will be noticed that GRAF and
Hayward Hayward is a member of
the prison board) were paid EIGHT
AND ONE HALF CENTS for beef
while Turner and Ground received
SIX AND ONE HALF CENTS. This
was for the beef furnished for
June, 1907.
On the fore quarters of beef 1t will
that Turner and Ground were paid
-FOUR AND THREE QUARTER
CENTS while Graaf and Hayward

WOULD HAVE ACTUAL

Buy Stock In
Railroads.
HIS PLAN TO BRING
COMP PAN|ES TO time
Method. He Believes. Would !Se.
cure Receivers For TranspOrta-
ton Lines and Practically
Place Them in Fed

Chicago, July IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
An entirely new and extremely radi-
cal proposition for the control OF
the railroads has been advanced for
consideration by President Roosevelt
1t involves partial government own
ership Of the transportation lines by
the actual purchase of stock.
Whether President Roosevelt would
adopt the scheme, which is so nearly
socialistbc in its development, may
well be doubted.
1t has been stated, however, that
he is actually considering such a re-
commentator, and that it is part OF
a proposition to bring the railroads
to time by securing receivers fol-
them.
Railroad Men Scout Theory.
President Roosevelt's firm stand
regarding government regulation oi
railroads is well known, but his new
proposition was hardly expected. L
may be the result Of frequent con-
ferences with members of the inter.
state commerce commission and theil
attorneys.
The idea that the government may
buy railroad stock is generally look
ed upon by railroad officials a.
ernment has no constitutional righ
to own such stocks. and that therefor'
Roosevelt has no such idea.
The railroad men in general arr
not paying much attention to tn
rumor, apparently, but It is noticeabl,
that they have been getting into con
nection today with official sources II
the effort TO learn the true extent o
the presidents ideas and intentions.
Say It's Bluff.
Wall street and other sources o
kindred nature declare that the who'll
rumor is a bluff on the part of thu
president to make the railroad
come through" by which they meal
that the government wants to Obtain
partial control of the transportation
lines with the consent of the presen
owners.
Hartman. Hill, and others of tn
principal railroad owners of the coun
try are not making any statement
concerning the latest Developments.

be 81, $50 per train load. This waste
of timber is still going on. Moreover,
during the past two years, the aver
age time of movement of a car load of
lumber from Puget Sound to st. Paul
was l20 days and the Pacific Coast
lumbermen lost S15, 900, 900 in cancella
ton of orders by reason of the ineff-
cheney of the railroads. In 1905, for
instance, the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific added just one loco
motive to the equipment of the two
roads, despite the fact that the earn
ings were the greatest in their history.
But while all this is bad enough for
the Middle West consumer, the worst
is still to come. In October the Hill
and Hartman lines will put into ef-
feet new tariff schedule raising the
rates to points in Kansas and Nebras-
ka Sl.65 per 1000 feet and to all other
points east of the Rocky Mountains
So. 30 per thousand. This means that
lumber in Minnesota will hereafter
cost $31. so per thousand and the extra
cost of building an ordinary dwelling
| will be approximately $3.50.
And this too in face of the fact that
the earnings of the Hill aud Hartman
coast lines for the year just ended are
the largest in the history of the roads.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1907-08-28
One Explanation to be Found in
Excessive Charges for Rail-
road transportation.
Freight Rates from Pacific Coast
to Middle West are Simply
Outrageous.
To Minneapolis, for Example, the
Hauling Charges Nearly
Equal the Original Price
of the Lumber.

A resolution was introduced ana
passed by congress last winter author
izing the Bureau of Corporations of
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor to investigate the cause Of the
high prices for lumber This investi-
cation is now under way, and the lum-
Der manufacturers of the country well
come it, because they know that the
real Cause will be uncovered-exces-
sive freight rates.
Take the case of the Pacific Coast,
for example. Washington, Oregon,
California, Idaho and Montana con-
tain 100000, 100000 feet of standing
timber enough to construct As, 100000
houses and sufficient to care for the
wants of the entire United States for a
period of rs years. This region con-
tains over 1000 saw and single mills,
and employs $4,000 persons, with a
payroll of approximately sl35, 100000
per year. Last year these states shipped
by rail II 900, 900 tons of lumber, on
which the freight charges were not far
from $3.50, O00,0 900. The entire operat-
ing expenses of the Northern Pacific
is paid by the lumbermen Of the state
of Washington alone, and were it not
for the forests on the Pacific Coast the
entire traffic OF all the lines could be
handled by one road.
The cost of producing this lumber at
the present time is about $3.50 per
1000 feet and the average selling price
for the entire output is not over SIS at
the mill.
But freight charges are so high that
in many cases the original selling
| price of the lumber is exceeded.
For example the rate to Minneapo-
lis is $500 per 1000 feet making lum-
Der which cost only SIS at the mill cost
1913. 20 at Minneapolis. To Omaha and
Chicago the rate is $3.50, to Cincin-
natl $3.50 and to st. Louis $l7.32.
After this explanation one can readi-
| ly understand how, during the years
from 1900 to 1906, the Northern Paci-
fc had gross earnings Of S308, 567, 873-
"a while its operating expenses were
only sl5S, SO, 164.55 and how during
the same period the Great Northern's
gross earnings reached 1924, 1913, 393.79
and its operating expenses only S118,-
49,, 460.59.
Notwithstanding this prosperous
condition of affairs the Pacific coast
lines have not taken care of the inter-
ests of the western lumber shippers as
they should have done. To illustrate,
several years ago the lumbermen of
the states Of Washington and Oregon
petitioned the Hill and Hartman
lines for a reduction in the rates to the
Middle West of $3.50 per 1000 feet. on
the ground that they We're burning up
annually SO, 900 carloads of lumber in
the woods and at the saw mills be-
cause of a lack OF market for cheap
] lumber. Their request was refused,
Notwithstanding the fact that the cost
of haul is ST, 200.44 per train load and
| the revenue at the reduced rate would
