Hartman Squirmins.

| The attitude of the Hartman in
terests before the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission this week has
been that OF men deeply wronged
in an effort to do what was right.
Arguments are being heard by the
commission from the counsel or the
railroads and the Especial attorneys
for the commission to decide what
course should be taken in regard to
the questions that Mr.. Hartman re-
fused to answer at the recent New
York hearing, and what sort OF a
report should be made to the Attor-
ney General on which he might
base posecution if he saw fit un-
der the Sherman Antitrust Law.
The most remarkable argument by
any of the railroad attorneys was
that of John G. Milburn, who
stated to the Commission in the
most serious fashion, that there
was no ground or proceeding
against Mr.. Hartman. He said
that the Antitrust Law was aim
ed only at combination of rail-
roads or other com binations who
entered into an agreement to fix
rates and prices, but that in the
case of the Southern Pacific and
the Union Pacific railroads, Mr..
Hartman had bought them both
and that even if he bought them
with the announced intention of sti-
fling competition and restraining
trade, the law could do nothing with
him because he owned the roads and
could do with them as he wished.
Mr.. Mil burn said that any attempt
on the part of the government to
regulate the roads under such cir
c'lmstances would be interfering
with private property, and could
not he justified for a moment. At
ltorney Severance for the Commits
sion said this was an entirely falla
cious view of the matter, and read
number of decisions, including
that of the United State Supreme
(Ionrt in the Northern Securities
case which fully covered the rail
road contention and showed thai
the Sherman Law was designed to
prevent com bination in restraint
of trade whether the stock of the
combined companies was owned by
one man absolutely or held by 8
trust.

One OF the writers said be thought it
would bo helpful for something TO be
written on farming, so | will try.
All farmers ought by this time to be
through turning their ground for corn
to be planted the last of next March
and the first of April. All stubble
ought to have been turned under in
September so it could thoroughly rot by
next Spring. 1t would been beneficial
to the land as we'll as being much help
to the next corn crop. Stubble turnei
under green does away with thousands
of insects that lay their eggs in the
grass stubble and If left alone hatch
| out in the stalks when dry and are a
! source of trouble to the farmers next
season. Stubble that can't be turned
under in September should be mown
the first of September and left to rot on
the ground. This way the farmers get
a great deal more benefit than to leave
it standing. In moving the stubble
down the farmer destroys thousands Of
insects the eggs of which are laid in
the heart of the weeds, and as it is
mown down and turned under the weed
dies and the young starye to death. An
other benefit the farmer derives from
soil turned in tho fall is that it will
hold moisture better than soil turned in
the spring and the crops will stand a
drouth good deal better, because turn
ed under stubble puts certain per cent,
the soil, which gives new life to the
soil which causes it to hold moisture.
All farmers should be through with
their stubble blowing and should now
be building and resetting fencing and
fixing up all of their gates before the
winter snow and rain sets in and makes
the ground too soft to haul rails across
it, because hauling heavy loads over
farm lands greatly Injuries it especially
where the ground is wet and soft.

In MemOriam.

The death of Mrs. Lucy Chi1ds
Stafford, which occurred at Ellsworth
last Friday evening, May 81, 1907,
has taken away another of the early
settlers of Pierce county. =
The deceased was native of Ohio,
in which state she was born in the
month of November, 1910, coming
10 Prescott with her parents in 1855.
In 1889 she was married to Charles
M. Stafford of the town of Trim
belle, where she resided for a period
of forty years, after which she be-
came resident of Ellsworth. In
February of the past year she was
stricken with paralysis, from the
effects of which she did not recover.
Enduring her suffering with the ut
most patience and fortitude, she
was fully prepared to respond to
the summons calling her to the &C.
lestial realm of the "Great Beyond"
into that mysterious futurity un-
explored by mortals save through
an abiding Faith.
In her death true husband has
lost loving wife, children deyot-
ed mother, society a valued member
and neighbors kind friend.
Profuse floral offerings and a
large attendance at the funeral
services conducted by Rev. West in,
the Presbyterian church on Sun
day attested to the high esteem IN
which the deceased was held. Be-
sides her husband she left one son
&C. M. Stafford, Jr., of Red Wing
and one daughter-Mrs. Grin Lord
of Ellsworth, and in their sad be-
reavement they have the heartfelt
sympathy of alarge circle of friends.

Decoration Day.

The weather on Decoration Day,
contrary to expectations, proved
very favorable for the occasion. 1t
was one of the warmest days of the
month and was in reality very COM
Portable for out-of-door ceremonies.
1t had been determined because of
the prospect of continued chilly
weather to hold the Memorial SER
vices indoors, and no regret is ex-
pressed that these ceremonies were
not held at the cemetery although
the weather was no disbursement
There are indeed good reasons why
the services should be held in hall.
1t requires considerable labor and
expense to prepare for holding the
exercises in the cemetery and even
after such arrangements as are
considered indispensable have been
made all have to stand except a few
who have part in the program. 1t
is tedious to stand for an hour or
more listening to the proceedings
and many of the crowd are talking
while the exercises are going on. In
hall the conditions are more favor
able for all concerned. Speakers
have better chance to reach and
interest the audience and the audi
ence can listen in more of comfort.
The services at Opera Hall Dec
Grafton Day were listened TO by a
large audience, all in sympathy
with the occasion. Rev. Burnley's
address was received with much
favor and the music was appreciat-
ed. After the close of the Memoir
ial exercises in the hall a parade
was formed consisting of the Boys
Independent Band, flower girls,
Spanish-American veterans, men,
bers of l. N, Nichols post, G. A. r.
and w. r. C. March was made to
the cemetery where the decorating
ceremonies were performed. About
fifty veterans were in the line.
