SEES RAILWAYS MULCTEo.
Evidence Intended to Show Monopoly
of Lubrcating Oil.

New York.-When the hearing
of the federal suit for the dis
solution of the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey was resumed Thurs
day evidence was adduced which
Frank B. Kellogg, conducting the gov
eminent case, said proved the conten.
ton Of the government that the oil
combine, through its subsidiaries, the
Galena Signal Oil company and the
Waters Pierce company, has a monop-
oily of the railroad lubricating oil busi-
ness and that it not only charges an
excess price but that it discriminates
against certain railroads in prices. The
Standard manufacturers engine, valve,
car and coach oil, and Mr.. Kellogg
said he would show that it controlled
81 per cent of the business.
G. N. Steinbrenner, auditor of the
railway department of the Galena Sig
nal OIL company, was the first witness
called Thursday. He said that the
only companies which he knew sold
lubricating oils to railroads were the
Galena and the Waters-Pierce. The
Waters-Pierce company, he testified,
obtained it's oil from Galena, which
in turn obtains its supply from the
Standard at the price at which it is
sold to the railroads. The Galena com,
pany gets no refund.

William Knowles. who cultiyates
some twelve acres Of land Just below
Middlechurch ferry on east side Of the
Red River has probably a. fine dis.
play OF horticultural products AZ any
in Manitoba. The whole Of his hold.
ing is in . high state Of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid
vegetable specimens, which have for.
tunately escaped damage by hail, al.
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within few miles. The
potatoes are q wonderful crop, and he
expects to raise $500 bushels from
his patch Of ~ acres. A half dozen
Of tubers selected yesterday average
more than pound each. Adjoining
the potatoes may be seen . marvellous
collection of tomatoes. There are 600
plants, all growing under an enor.
nous weight of fruit. One single
stock picked yesterday contained
eighteen tomatoes and weighed four
pounds. This extraordinary example
Of marvellous growth, together with
some Of the potatoes were sent to the
Free Press Office.
The proprietor was the first In
town with several specimens, includ.
Ing green corn. The season has been
favorable for onions, and one square
patch Of nearly an acre is looking re-
markably healthy. In addition there
are good crops Of cabbages, caulifow-
er, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump.
kins, marrows, cucumbers, celery. peas,
lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de.
partment has not been neglected and
. charming display Of all the well
known blooms were shown, including
q specially choice lot Of asters.
Mr.. Knowles, who gained most Of
his gardening experience in England,
Is loud in his praise Of Manitoba soil
for vegetable raising, and is gratifled
with the result of his first attempt at

whole the most valuable asset in our
national life. There can be just as
real progress and culture in the coun-
try as in the city; especially In these
days of rural free delivery, trolleys,
bicycles, telephones, good roads and
school improvements. The valley of
the Mississippi is politically and COM
mercially more important than any
other valley on the face of the globe.
Here more than anywhere else will
be determined the future OF the Uni.
ted States and indeed of the whole
western world; and the type of civil
ization reached in this mighty valley,
in this vast stretch of country lying
between the Alleghenies and the
Rockies, the great lakes and the gulf,
will largely fix the type of civilization
for the whole western hemisphere.
Already, as our history shows, the
west has determined our national po-
litical development, and the funda-
mental principle of present Ameri-
can politics, political equality, was
originally a western idea.
Transportation Demands.
The wonderful variety of resources
in different portions Of the valley
make the demand for transportation
altogether exceptional Coal, lumber,
corn, wheat, cotton, cattle-on the sur
face of the soil and beneath the soil
the riches are great. There are al
ready evident strong tendencies to in
crease the carrying Of freight from
the northern part of the valley to the
gulf. Throughout the valley the land
is so fertile as to make the field for
the farmer peculiarly attractive; and
where in the west the climate be-
comes dryer we enter upon the ranch
ing country; while in addition to the
products of the soil there are also the
manufactures supplied in innumerable
small. Cities of astonishing growth
are found everywhere from the gulf
to the great lakes, from the Ale
ghenies to the Rockies; most of them
being situated on the great river
which flows by your doors or upon
some of its numerous navigable tribu-
taries. New mineral fields are dis
covered every year; and the constant
ly increasing use of all the devices of
intensive cultivation steadily adds to
the productive power of the farms.
Above all, the average man Is honest,
intelligent, self-reliant, and orderly,
and therefore good citizen and
wageworker alike-in the last analy-
sis the two most important men in
the communicating a standard of

Memphis, Tenn.-President Roose-
welt spoke to a vast and enthusiastic
audience on the subject of a lakes to
gulf waterway, an audience COM
posed of delegates to the convention
representing every state in the Missis-
sippi valley, of representative bust
ness men, public officials, including
the governors of more than 20 states,
and thousands of citizens Of Memphis
: and the south. He said in part:
The Mississippi valley is magnifi-
cent empire in size and fertility. 1t
is better adapted to the development
OF inland navigation than any other
valley in either hemisphere; for there
are $4,000 miles of waterway now
more or less fully navigable, and the
conditions are so favorable that it
will be easy to increase the extent OF
navigable waterways to almost any
required degree by canalization. Early
in our industrial history this valley
was the seat of the largest develop
ment of inland navigation in the Uni,
don my mentioning that the first
steamboat west Of the Alleghenies was
built by Roosevelt, my great-granGa
fathers brother, in 1911, for the New
Orleans trade, and in that year made
the trip from Pittsburg to New Or
leans. But from various causes river
and canal transportation declined all
over the United States as the railroad
systems came to their full develop
nent. 1t is our business to see that
is Of interest to remember that nearly
century ago President Madison ad-
vocated the canalization of the Mis-.

The Mississippi Valley.
In wealth of natural resources no
kingdom of Europe can compare with
the Mississippi valley and the region
around the great lakes, taken to-
gether, and in population this huge
fertile plain already surpasses all save
one or two Of the largest European
kingdoms. In this empire a peculiar
ly stalwart and masterful people finds
itself in the surroundings best fitted
for the full development of It's powers
and faculties. There has been a great
growth in the valley Of manufacturing
centers; the movement is good if it
does not 60 too far; but I most earn
estly hope that this region as whole
will remain predominantly agricul-
tural The people who live in the
country districts, and who till the
small or medium-sized farms on which
they live, make up what is on the
