FEDERAL CONTROL
Is ADVOCATED

PRESCOTT. Ariz., Nov. H. Rob-
ert Mather, president of the Rock
Island system here last night. de-
clared that he emphatically endorsed
President Roosevelt's policies for the
government regulation OF railroads.
Il believe" he said, that a uni
form system of federal regulation of
railroads would be advantageous to
both the roads and the people. Ger
tainly, no railroad in the country,
which is conducting its affairs hon
estly, need fear the Inauguration of
such plan as is proposed by the
president. but even honest roads are
seriously menaced by spasms of leg
islation which have been so numer-
ous of late in various states.
The trouble is that people grow
excited over the revelations of some
railroad affairs. who have been
guilty of rebating or other infrac-
tions of the law. and become unduly
radical. the result being that all
roads alike become the objects of
their hostility without discrimina-
ton.

being broachcd by number OF men en-
gagged In that line Of business, lately.
and judging from the trouble some OF
them have In disposipg Of their products
by going from store TO store. there are
prospects that they will make some
move toward realizing their wishes.
AT present a farmer or fruit grover
trades bis produce with the man who
gives him the best figure or the man
with whom he would sooner deal, and
sometimes this means that he visits half
a dozen places before getting rid OF his
produce. II he does get rid OF them.
In numerous eases there Is a mutual
agreement between the storckeepecr that

elsewhere to dispose Of his "stuff."

probable that the city would have much
to say in the matter and would have to
put up tho expense Of buying the

benefit would not exactly reach the mer.

people would buy direct from the mar,

The farmers and the people, on the
other hand, would reap the benefit. the

A strong point in favor Of the mar

would be the fact that large number

two days and greatly help an increase
of business. Tho lively atmosphere
would be beneficial to the city, like in

WHO IS THE OWNER
THE SILVER?
CHIEF OF POLICE RECEIVES LET.
TER YESTERDAY REGARDING
SILvERWARE RECOVERED AT
ALLIANCE, NEB. WHO OWNS IT2

The chief Of police received the fol.
lowing letter yesterday;
lCity Marshal, Astoria, Oregon.
Dear Sir:-Sometime during the
month Of February last there was a
lot OF silverware found here that was
supposed to have been taken out of a
car. There was an initial "B' on most
of the silverware and one of the pieces
had the name "Nina" on il.
We have two men under arrest, bound
over to the district court, for taking this
stuff out OF car of household goods.
We have been unable to find any owner,
SO far, for this silyerware. The silver
'ware was wrapped in Sunday edition
OF the Astolian, These papers were evil
dcntly obtained from the newspaper
Office at Astoria, Oregon. Ii you know
of any one leaving your city, or vicin.
ity, at that time | would be glad if you
could furnish any information as to
who this silverware might belong to.
Yours truly,
EUGENE BURTON,
County Attorney, OF Box Butte Co., Neb.
When this letter was shown the AS
torian reporter, yesterday, he immedi-
ately became interested. He. with his
sleuth-like instincts made inquiries.
During the month Of December the
steamer Costa Riea, on trip from San
Francisco, carried q cargo in which
consignment of jewelry and silverware
consigned to Eckstrom, the jeweler, in
this city, Owing to a stormy passage the
cargo was somewhat disturbed and when
1t reached Astoria Mr. Eckstrom's ship
ment was not complete. He made claim
for the goods he had lost and was paid
by the company for such loss.
An interview with Mr., Eckstrom do.
veloped the fact that he could not recog-
nize the goods described in the letter as
he had not ordered goods engraved as
mentioned.
G, G. Masters residence was entered at
about this time and some goods taken.
Tt was supposed that he had recovered
all his property but it was learned yes.
terday that he did not Whether the
above description will enable him to
identify his property remains to be seen
as Mr., Masten is not in the city, his
home being in st. Helens.
The letter has furnished clue to the
officers and no doubt new developments
will arise in few days.
