the conditions of so-called car short
age which have afflicted the agricul-
tural districts of this and neighboring
states in the Northwest during the
past ninety days. Even so fragrant
have been the conditions that the gen.
eral government felt compelled to visit
this state with its force of traffic ex-
perts, hold hearings of shippers and
carriers and enter into an exhaustive
investigation of our defective traffic
facilities AS one Of the chief rem
edies for the insufficient supply Of
cars. which has resulted in the loss of
thousands of dollars to Minnesota

produced temporary coal famine,
suggest a reciprocal demurrage law,
subjecting carriers to the same penal
ties for delay in furnishing cars as
the carriers impose upon shippers for
delay in loading cars.
It is of the highest Importance that
an order made by the railroad and
warehouse commission, with reference
to rates or classifcations, should go
into effect within a reasonable time,
not to exceed thirty days, after the
order is made and should remain in
effect until modified or reversed on
appeal. Our laws should be changed
to bring about this desired result.

may be gathered from the fact that
the total gross earnings of railroads
within the state of Minnesota, as re.
ported by the companies to the rail-
road and warehouse commission for
the year ending July 81, 1906, was
$81 ,619 ,640.S5. The relative impor.
lance of this matter may be more
clearly understood when we realize
that the total gross earnings in Min
nesota is over so per cent of the esti-
mated farm productions of 1906. The
basis Of our wealth is agriculture and
the total estimated agricultural prod
ucts OF Minnesota during tho past
year, including wheat, oats, corn, rye,
barley, fax, potatoes. hay, butter,
cheese, live stock, poultry, market
garden, fruit and nursery products, is
approximately 100000, 900. In other
words, 1t required more than one-half
OF the agricultural products enumer-
ated to satisfy the transportation de.
mands OF railroad corporations within
the state of Minnesota.
The vast earnings of railway COM
pan1es have been swollen by excess
s1ve rates of transportation, which
have been much higher in our own
state than In the state south of us, or
In Canada, to the north Of us. There

COST OF THE CIVIL WAR
Statistics of Vital and Financial
Losses Incurred on Both Sides
of the Contest.


Questions are constantly being asked, and
statements are numerously made, as to the
comparative forces engaged In the civil
war of 186l-65, and to losses of the war and
other matters of interest.
1t is not difficult to get information as
to matters on the northern side, since ali
records and reports of the war are pre-
| served, but on the southern side the de-
sired particulars are not so easily obtained.
Some of our records were destroyed and
many were captured and carried to WASH
ington, and in the course of time interest
ing information is brought to light.
Mr.. Cazenove G. Lee of Richmond, but
now residing in Washington, has been
| searching in the archives OF both sides, and
he has got hold Ola variety of important
particulars from the official records. From
some figures OF his recently printed state
ments in the Richmond Dispatch, the fol-
lowing are extracted:

Whites from southern states....... 3l642A

! ninety-day emergency men and that IL the
entire force be reduced to a three-years'
basis the aggregate will be 2,390,272
The total confederate enlistments were

From this 1t is seen that the southern
army had to fight nearly, IL not quite, four

LONE BANDIT HOLDS UP STAGE
IN MONTANA.

Strong Odor Of oil.

The stage running between Malta and
Zortman. Mont, was held up the other
night by a lone bandit and a sum esti-
mated at about $4,000 is said to have
been secured. The robbery was commit
cured just north of Zortman and
was entering the Little Rockies with
consignment of money to pay the wages OF
the miners at the Zortman mines. The
robber obtained five or six hours start
of a posse, mounted upon the fastest
horses to be had, which left Malta imme-
diately upon receipt of word of the hold
up. The location is in a particularly
lonely spot in the mountains, afording
every opportunity for the shelter and
escape OF the bandit. One man command
ing the trail there could almost hold
half-dozen men at bay for hours. Some
member OF kid" Curry's gang of train
robbers and horse thieves is suspected OF
the hold-up. Six years ago the Curry
gang held up Great Northern train in
the vicinity of Malta, securing $4,000.
Many of the associates of Curry still live
in northern Montana.

RETURN CUBA JULY 4, 1905.
American Holiday Probable Date for
Evacuaffnx Island.

1t appears that July 4, 1908, will be
the day when the control of Cuban affairs
will be given back to the Cuban people.
The liberals are anxious that the hnal
elections be held in December, 1907, and
the government turned over May 20, 1908,
the anniversary of the inauguration of the
first Cuban republic; they also want the
municipal and provincial elections held
simultaneously. The conservatives, on the
other hand, desire that the final elections
be held later than next December and that
the municipal and provincial elections be
held six months apart. In view OF this
divergence of desire a compromise WEIGH
viii result in the turning over of the
control of Cuban affairs on the American
holiday is probable 1t is known that
Secretary Taft insists upon a thorough
census, considering such step absolute
ly necessary before successful elections
can be held. This undoubtedly will re-
quire more than four months, the estimate
OF time therefor made by the liberals.
Consequently. the municipal elections
would fall in October or November, but
as December is the month for harvesting
the sugar crop it is recognized that cleo
tons in October or November are i'm
practicable, as they would pretty thor
oughly disorganize the community at just
the time when the greatest number of men
are needed in the fields The wishes of
the planters, therefore, will be needed, and
the next Cuban sugar crop will be gath
cred under American control. The only
other desire regarding the date expressed
by the conservative committee was that
Cuban independence be re-establishd be-
fore the expiration, Dec. 10, of the pres
ent reciprocity treaty in order that Cuba
be in a position to treat for a renewal of
this treaty
