STRIKE is CALLED OFF.
Agreement Between Railroads and
Employees is Reached.

CHICAGO, April 4.-The long
standing dispute between the western
railroads and the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and the Order of
Railway Conductors came to an end
today when through the efforts of
Chairman Knapp of the Interstate
commerce commission and Labor
Commissioner Neill a proposition
was submitted to both sides which
proved acceptable.
The men are to receive an advance
Of 10 per cent, ten hour day as to
men employed on freight trains and
a slight concession in the passenger
service. The nature of the last ar
ticle of the agreement has not yet

Organize to Fight Reform.

CHICAGO, April A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The big interests of the country
have inaugurated a movement to dis
credit President Roosevelt, prevent
the achievement of his railroad and
other reform policies, and to block
the nomination by the Republican
party of Secretary Taft or any other
Roosevelt man. This movement is
now under way in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and California.
This is the information President
Roosevelt has received from a source
in which he places reliance. The men
behind this movement are e. H. Har-
riman, ]. Pierpont Morgan, the Rock
efellers and other Standard Oil in
terests, the tobacco trust, and certain
other capitalistic combinations which
have suffered from the presidents
activity. The movement is much like
what is known as the "rich mems
conspiracy" of 1904, when at a
meeting Hartman, so the president
has been informed, solemnly express
ed his opinion that he could deliver
the delegates to the republican con-
vention from Iowa, Kansas. Nebras-
ka, Idaho, Colorado and California to
an anti-Roosevelt man. Investigation
demonstrated that this claim was pre-
posterous.

Precipitation and Forest Removal.

LA CROSSE, April At is an
accepted belief of many scientists as
well as of other persons that the re-
moval of the forests is the direct
cause of certain amount of decrease
of precipitation. This belief, says
Observer c. Thomson of the La
Crosse weather bureau, is erroneous
and has by various tests been proven
unfounded.
The average of precipitation is
committed in ten year periods and in
the last thirty years during which
the weather bureau has been estab-
lished in this city. the average Of
precipitation has remained perfectly
stationery. Plants that grew in the
time of Adam and Eve still grow.

Those who have given little or no
attention to the improved methods Of
farming, and have not kept in touch
with the agricultural experimental
work of the government, have but
little idea of the progress that has
been made in recent years along the
lines Of scientific farming. The agri-
cultural department at Washington
has in it's employ an army Of scien-
lists and specialists who are now dis
tributing thousands of pamphlets
containing articles showing the re-
suit of experimental work by that
department, and it is nothing un-
usual now to find in the homes of
farmers of Nebraska numbers of
those scientific articles, and from the
crops they are raising it is evident
that the work is doing great good" "

The intelligence that the Oroville

The delay extends another year of

the small investor another year in
which to get started, before the COM

land values which its construction
through the new country will create.

Mr.. E. Wagner. one Of the apple
kings Of the Wenatchee valley, in dis
cussing Australia as an apple mar
ket, says: ship your big red ap-
pies to Australia. but not the white
ones. AS to keeping qualities found
no difficulties with any except Jona-
thans. This apple is not success
in the Australian markets. The
Spitzenberg, Winesap, Rome Beauty,
and Missouri Pippins, however. are
all good shippers, and find a ready
market in faraway Australia"
The apple growers of Washington
are under great obligations to Mr..
Wagner for the service he. has done
them in spying out the market in the
far-off land of the Wallabies. His
trip to the kangaroo country last fall,
with 800 cases of apples, gave him
an excellent opportunity of ascer-
tanning true conditions there, and
of finding out just what might be
done down there with apple ship
ments.

SOBER UP.

Mayor Scheble says that the
drunks must sober up.
That the hobos must go to work or
to jail.
We heartily applaud the stand our
mayor has taken. In these busy days
there's work for everybody. Indo-
lent Weary Willies have no excuse
for chronic idleness. The demand
for honest labor is SO great in the
cities of the west today that labor
ers are receiving almost if not &C
tually as much as the average man
of fair education. There's constant
call for more laboring men.
AS regards drunkenness and street
brawling, we believe cases of this
nature may be safely left to the Wig
ilance of our police force. There
has been boisterous BOOKING since the
days when Nero's cronies painted
Rome red, and it is not unlikely that
when Gabriel's horn toots there will
be Bacchanalian jewellers who will re-
Quire q second blast to get their at
tention. Excessive drinking Is a
practice that can only be controlled

Campbell's Farming System.


is being established here and which
will be devoted to the Campbell sys-
tenn of dry land farming. We give
an address of D. Glen Deaver, of
the land department of the Burling-
ton:
There is nothing mysterious or
unreasonable about the Compbell
system of soil culture; it is simply
plain, ordinary common sense as de-
veloped by scientific methods applied
to the tilling of the soil. While 1t
is true that not as much land can be
farmed under the Campbell system
as heretofore farmed by the old
method. it is also true. taking one
of valuable land good for farming
mixed in with the grazing land. The
earliest settlers who went to this
locality became interested In the
stock business and generally have
grown up with the idea of making
year after another, that forty acres
intensely farmed will produce pro-
ducts of as much value as twice that
that amount farmed by tn old meth
cd. Generally speaking the western
part of this state Is largely adapted
to the Campbell system of farming
and while it is true that considerable
land in Western Nebraska is only
valuable for grazing purposes, it is
also true that there is a large amount
money by easier methods than by
farming, simply letting their stock
feed themselves the year around on
the natural grasses. These people
generally did not want to do any
work that they could not do on horse
back and it has remained for the new
settlers to demonstrate what the
country is most valuable for. 1t is
impossible for any one to raise the
best crops any place unless the work
of caring for the seeding of the
ground is done in proper manner
and in some localities in the past the
used for tilling the soil wa,
such that no reasonable person
would expect a successful crop. For
instance; until recently it has been
the common practice of farmers,
when harvesting wheat, oats and 9TH
er small grains, to let the stubble
lay as the binder passed over it until
time to pillow for fall wheat.
"In such cases the result is that
If we have any dry weather at all
the land cakes, and when plowed up
in the fall breaks up in large chunks,
permitting the air to penetrate to the
bottom of the plowed ground and
thoroughly dry out unless the plow-
ing is followed by rain; but the pro-
per thing to do in such cases is to
follow the binder with disc harrow
and thereby mulch the ground about
two inches deep. After each rain
this mulched ground should be har-
rOwed. This of course, requires more
work, but the result is that when thu
ground is plowed in the fall it viii,
break up nice and mellow, whether
there has been much rain or not,
since the binder harvesting former
crop passed over it. Another result
is that the ground is in such good
condition to receive the seed for the
next crop that scarcely more than one
half of the seed sown under the old
method is necessary to be sown under
the Campbell system of soil culture.
for the simple reason that the ground
being melloy and moist, every grain

Rumor OF a Coming Merger Be
teen Norfolk & Southern and
Norfolk & Western.
by special wire to THE AReUs.1


Raleigh, n. c., June 1.-AT report OF
considerable movement became current
here this morning and created much
interest, to effect that a new charter
had been grated by the legislature last
March to the Raleigh and Winston
Salem Railroad Company, and that it
would be used in the interest of the
Norfolk & Southern, to enable that road
to build a link connecting the Raleigh
and Pamlice road, (recently bought
by the Norfolk & Southern,) at Raleigh
with the Norfolk & Western for the
commercial advantage of both roads.
These two roads are known to be on
good terms.
Railroad officials will not, of course,
discuss the report, SO that nothing of
ficially can be said on the matter. 1t is
a plan that is entirely feasible from a
stand point of business, and this fact
makes the report of more than passing
interest.

Omaha, Neb., May, ,30.-Pat Grove
the notorious kidnapper and general
all-round crook, who has had world
wide newspaper advertising, and while
in the "crook" business was the slick
est proposition that the police sand de-
tectives of the country ever had to do

who of late years has been ileading a
quiet, and to all appearances, repent

join the priesthood of the. Catholic
church.
His aspirations in this direction are
not looked upon with favor by the
clergy of that church.
There is no danger, however, of his
being more than "tonsured' any time
soon, as the road to orders is one of
long probation and self -denials, even
with those who with favorable records
take early to this vocation; SO that Pat
Grove, even should he receive the tom
sure and start in on the ordeal, will be
long in reaching ordination.

Washington, D. c., June 1.-Justice
John M. Harlan, one of the associate

bench thirty years, or eleven years
longer than Chief Justice Fuller, who
comes next in point Of service.
Justice Harlan is seemingly as full
of health as the best of men and though
he has been eligible to retirement for
several years he apparently entertains
no idea of quitting the bench at any
very early date. #
h Aschange in !. ministration is pro-
badly about the only thing that might
bring about his retirement very soon.
He is Repu blican, and pretty strict
party man, and should the Democrats
win next year he would probably give
President Roosevelt the privilege of ap-
pointing his successor.

IT Is PRESIDENT FOUST.
He Is Unanimously Elected Head
OF the Greensboro State
Normal.

Every citizen in Goldsboro, white
and black-youne and old, will be
deeply gratified at the election of Prof.
julius I. Foust to the presidency of the
State Normal College at Greensboro.
It was his due. and that it came to him
as the unanimous action of the Board
is most creditable to him:
The Industrial News, of Greensboro
in it's issue of this morning says edi-
torially:
without in the least disparaging
any of the other institutions very dear
to the heart of all true North Carolian-
| ians, we say without fear or contradic-
ton that the State Normal and Indus
| trial College stands second to no other
the magnitude of its work or in the
place 1t holds in the affections of the
people.
"From this it follows that the ques-
ton of its presidency is a matter which
is universally looked on as of great
public moment. for while it is true that
q general without an army could do
little in its equally true that the best of
armies under incompetent command is
robbed of half it's effectiveness.
"For year now the question of the
selection of successor to the beloved
and lamented McIver has been weighed
and considered with the care that it's
Importance demanded, while Prof. j,
I. Foust acting president performed
the duties of the vacant Office. "@
Yesterday the board of directors
finally determined the matter by the
election of Prof. Foust to the presiden-
cy, and thereby acted in manner that
we feel sure will meet with very gen.
eral commendat ton. :,
"The new president has for years
been identified with the workings Of
the college, and will continue the work
he has so ably done during the pas
year. Ase e
"To say that he will prove equal tt
the arduous duties and measure up te
the required standard of the executive
head of the largest college for won er
in the south is but to express plainly
and simply an opinion held by all who
know the man and his work in the past
To praise him further would be useless
presidency of the State Normal and In
dustria1 College is surely praise enough
q for any North CarOlinian." ts
