Two Cent Fare

The Missouri railways which will
undertake to overthrow the two cent
fare law of that state on the ground
that it is confiscatory have received
reports at their st. Louis offices
indicating that traffic has increased
about 80 per cent. and that earn
ings have declined about 40 per
cent.
The report is distrusted and it
we'll may be. At three cents a mile
100 passengers would mean $500
and at two cents a mile 40 pas
sengers would mean only $3.50, but
if half the 100 passengers were
carried on mileage books under the
old arrangements the earnings were
onlv So. so a mile. This takes no
account of those formerly carried
or masses, the presumption being
that the same were not included in
the 100 passengers listed and are
found among those now paying
fare.
In defending. against the maxi
mum freight rate law the Missouri
roads charged their operating ex
nenses SO far as possible to the
freight service. This will embarrass
them IN their effort to show
that the two cent fare is con
fiscatory. They can prove 1t by nc

CALL FOR CONVENTION.
To Mayors of Cities, Commercial
Organizations, Officers and Mem
bers of the Association, and all
Others Interested.

The sixth annual convention of the
Upper Mississippi River Improvement
association will be held in the city Of
Moline, Illinois, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, October 22nd, and 23rd, 1907.
Each mayor, or president of town
councils, each commercial organiza-
ton in the towns and cities of the
states of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Min
nesota and Wisconsin, bordering upoL
the Mississippi river, from st. Louis,
Mo-, to Minneapolis, Mimi, inclusive,
is invited to send not less than three
delegates of the convention.
The governors of each of the states
named are invited to appoint not less
than three delegates at large.
The object of the association is to
secure the permanent improvement of
the upper Mississippi river, from
Minneapolis, Mimi, to the mouth of
the Missouri river, to depth of not
less than six feet, at low water will be
maintained.
Since its organization the Upper
Mississippi River Improvement asso-
citation has been active in the endeavor
to obtain the support of the govern
ment in the improvement of the upper
Mississippi river. This has resulted
in its securing an appropriation of two
million dollars; at che last session Of
Congress, with which work has been
started upon the project.
1t is necessary to keep the needs Cf
commerce on the upper river promin-
emily before Congress in order that
results may be obtained from i'm proved
water navigation, and reduced cost OF
transportation, This is possible only
through organized means, such as that
offered through this association, as
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1907-08-28

sisted by the press and people in the
upper valley.
The attention of the government
has been so forcibly called to the
needs of the upper Mississippi river
by this association, that the President
of the United States, and the Inland
Waterways commission, appointed by
him, has deemed it important to make
tour of inspection of the upper river
this fall in line with the improvement
of the entire river.
The success that has attended upon
the past efforts of the association
should be continued until final re-
suits are obtained. To this end we
are invited to send delegates to the
convention to be held in Moline, Ill.
Each and every civic and commercial
organization in the upper valley
should have representatives present.
The people in the enterprising city
of Moline may be expected to do every
thing necessary to make the visit to
that city agreeable and entertaining.
The railroad fare will be two cents
per mile, so the cost of travel to the
convention will be very light.
Do not fail to appoint your dele
gates at once and notify the secretary
at Quincy, ILL.,, their names as soon as
selected.
Every officer and member of the
association is requested to unite in
making this the most important con-
vention we have ever held.
Respectfully,
THOMAS WILKINSON. President,
l.. b. BOSWELL, Secretary.

The Enlisted Mans Pay and Rations.

Gen. A. W. Greedy, commanding
the Northern Division of the United
States army, declare that the small
ness of the soldiers pay and the
lack of variety in the army ration
are initiating against enlistments.
He contracts the soldiers pay of
734 cents day with the .$2.7O re-
ceived by unskilled labor in these
times of prosperity, and recon-
mends that the pay of the soldier
be increased from 20 to so per cent.
AS to the rations, he says they
ought to be made to embrace the
various foods that are found on the
tables of even the comparatively
poor.
This criticism of the pay schedule
AID the colnmissary is doubtless
we'll founded. The pay of the
United States soldierlis higher than
Unat of the soldiers of other coun-
ties, but it is very small in compari-
son with the present compensa-
tlOn of common labor which can be
performed by the newest corners
from abroad. Men cannot be in
duced to enlist under such condi-

STOLE HORSES IN
 BROAD DAYLIGHT
Bold Thief Working in Tacson Takes the Finest Animals Ho Gan Find Hitched Along the Streets-At Last Reports He Is Still at Large.

What is without doubt the boldest case of horse stealing ever known in this vicinity occurred at noon yester. day, when two fine horses belonging to Tom Elias, Sbpori ranchman, were stolen from in front of the residence of his parents on Third avenue and Nine teenth street, says the Tucson Citizen.
 At the time Elias was eating lunch in the house and his first knowledge of the thefts was when he came out of the house and found two of his horses gone.
 Te thought at first that the horses might have strayed away, but when he discovered that one of the stolen horses had been unhitched from a buggy, he was aware immediately that the horses had been stolen.
 The thieves were evidently experts in their line and must have worked quick. ly, for Elias was not in the house more than twenty minutes. The fact that he was likely to appear at any moment did not at all frighten the thieves.
 They were very particular about their choice of horses and were good judges of horseiesh, for they selected the best two animals in the bunch of eight.
 One of the horses was hitched to a buggy, while the other seven were tied to the posts. The thieves could easily have gotten away with several other horses, but they went to the trouble of unhitching the horse in the buggy and then, after securing another valuable animal, rode away.
 As soon as Elias discovered his loss he mounted one of the other horses and followed the thieves. He tracked them east past the Twin Buttes depot and is still following the trail, but has not as yet returned to the city, and it is sup posed that he has not found the bold eulprits. who were evidently headed for the Mexican line

Western Plays Draw the Crowds

UST as all the alleged wise men of
the theater had decided that the
western play had run its course
and that it was about time to look for
a new brand of drama, Eleanor Rob-
son produced "Salomy Jane" After a
series of failures and half successes
this version of the Bret Harte story has
captivated all Miss Robsons admirers.
Other theaters got to work, as they do
after every signal success, to try to
get something to compete with it. This
time they did not go far afield. They
simply clung to the western drama and
now that is good evidently for all the
rest of the season.
The greatest success of the year, the
great financial success without the
shadow of doubt, and, according to
many good judges the greatest artis-
tic success as we'll, is 1.-THE Great Di-
vide" This is a play of the west writ
ten by William Vaughn Moody of the
University of Chicago.
The greatest success that William
Faversham has had since the days Of
Lord and Lady Algy" Is 1.-THE Squaw
Man" 1t shows no signs of wearing
out and has proved to be one OF the
most preposterous productions that its
owners have ever made.
Much mohey has been added TO the
Belasco fortune by two other western
plays. one Of them Is 1.-The Rose OF the
Rancho" which Belasco produced in
New York this year with Frances Starr
IN the best part after these same al
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-10

and threatens to bar the dear misses
from the show. And / wouldn't hurt
the Belasco's business; no, not 1.
At last Ollie Morosco is to give us
Maude Gilbert in "As You Like It."
She played the role in the east and
was a sure winner in it. am looking
forward with the utmost impatience
to seeing her again in the part-also
in doublet and hose; she is so charms
ing in boys clothes.
And also I am looking eagerly for
ward to beholding Charlie Eyton as
Charles the Wrestler in the same play.
1 want to referee that bout where Or
Charlie has refereed so many sport
events himself-and given it to Others
in the neck-that surely he will not
go on without a gentlemanly official in
the ring. l would suggest that he and
Orlando change 1T to a ten-round bout
with the gloves; it would be lots more
popular and not do half the desecra-
ton to the immortal Bills memory
that many a tragedian commits.
Don't anyone cast any aspersions on
Dick Ferris pool playing, because he
missed piffle shots in that game in
"The Altar of Friendship last week;
the script requires that he should. He
showed me the stage directions to
prove it. Anyhow, did you see the
shots he made Tuesday after the gods
roasted him Monday night? They
ought to settle it.
