with the press of the country in
good roads education Of the people.
The department will not only issue
bulletins covering all kinds of road

benefit of citizens wanting special or
expert information. The statement
is made that there are over two and
a half million miles of highway in

millions Of dollars are spent annual
ly. It is tolerably certain that more
than 25 per cent. of this vast sum is

A FIGHT TO THE FINISH.

'The Interpreter" writes Of Moy-
er, Haywood and Pettibone in the
July American magazine. One of
the most interesting passages in the
article is that which explains why the
fight between capital and labor in
the gold mining business is SO bitter:
''Basically and this point must
be understood before you can un-
derstand the situation which has led
up to the present Meyer Haywood
cases basically, gold-mining is diff
ferent from almost any other sort of
occupation. When there is clash
between the coal operators and the
coal miners in Pennsylvania, for
example, what happens? If the min
ers win and get an advance in wages,
the operators simply add so much to
the price of coal and you and 1.-The
public pay the bill. So it is in the
building trades and in most other
callings. But gold-mining is differ
ent. When the miners union gets
an advance in wagers the operators
cannot pass it along to the patient
public; for gold is a commodity of
such wide production and SO valu-
able in proportion to the cost of
transportation that its price is set
by the worlds market. A few Colo
RADIO or Idaho mine-owners cannot
put up the price of gold to make up
for increased cost Of production.
Therefore when the Union forces up
wages they must take it out of their
own pockets and profit or else close
up their mines.
1T comes then to be a downright
struggle for existence between the
mine-owners and their workers. If
there were no great outside world
demanding gold the workers, pro-
.vided they maintained their union,

In the opinion Of the secretary of
agriculture, based on government
statistics, the recent increase in the
price of meats was entirely natural,
and even higher prices may be ex-
pected. That the cost of meats is
greater today than ever before is
conceded, but Secretary Wilson be-
lieves that American prosperity is at
the bottom of the situation. People
are eating more meat and the farm
ers are not raising as many cattle as
formerly.

The recent death of DR.. J. C. Cur

The recent death of DR.. j. C. Cur
rier, the we'll known institute work
er and authority on horses, removes
a man who deserves well of the peo-
pie of Minnesota. Ten or fifteen
years ago he was familiar figure
on the platforms of farmers insti-
tutes in this state, and it is to his
credit that he was so much of a
lover of good horses that he made a
hobby of treating them humanely
and sparing the whip in their train
ing. making them friends rather
than slaves to the owners. DR.. Cur
rier was 81 years old, and his last
days were passed on his farm north
of Minneapolis. He became a resi-
dent of Mankato in 1871, until he
removed to farm near Lake Crys-
tai, where he embarked in horse
breeding on a large scale, and was
thus instrumental in movement
that resulted in the improvement
and building up of that industry in
Southern Minnesota.

RIVER TO Be BRIDlfD.

A st. Peter dispatch to the daily
press asserts that it is likely that
land owners along the valley will
appeal to the state legislature at it's
next session for restriction and mod
ification of the state drainage laws.
They assert the belief that the high
water is direct result Of the ex-
tensive construction of county drain
age bitches, and, they can see no
hope Of relief unless the legislature
adopts some means of limiting the
number Of bitches to be opened.
In support of their claim they
point to the experience of farmers
along the lower Rush river valley.
Not many years ago Rush river was
a small stream, almost a brook, and
in some seasons its bed would dry
up for long distances. Within re-
cent years, however, SO many coun-
ty bitches have been led into its
three forks that it remains at flood
stage turnout the year and hundreds
of acres of land along its valley are
submerged.
Practically the same thing is hap
pening to the Minnesota. Formerly
the river rose rapidly when the
SHOWS melted in the spring, but the
water as quickly subsidized and, as a
general thing. the floods did not in
terfere with farming and land was
not damaged greatly. The county
drainage system has changed all this.
So numerous have become the ditch
es that are led into the Cottonwood,
the Blue Earth and the Watonwan,
it's tributaries, and into the Mime
sofa itself, that rainstorm of any
magnitude makes itself felt imme-
diately.
Many farmers believe that the
condition will become permanent.un-
less further ditching is prohibited,
and yesterday a delegation of TWEEN
ty-five or thirty business men and
farmers, headed by G. N. Cosgrove
and G. M. Tousley of LeSueur, and
Charles Schwartz of Lake Prairie
township, came to St. Peter to en-
list the aid of Congressman C. R.
Davis. The latter informed his Wis
itors that the federal government
was powerless to act in the matter.
but advised the land owners to agi-
tate the question and endeave to
influence the next legislature al
ter the drainage laws. Speak,, : on
the subject he said:
''The state legislature can supply
a remedy. If, for example, It Would
restore the old law prohibiting the
draining of meandered lakes, the re-
suit would be beneficial. Then, too,
it might memorable congress to
improve the Minnesota river with a
view to making it navigable. If
there is to be a good stage of water
in the stream it can, by straighten-
ing its course, rip-rapping certain
portions and diking others, be made
navigable for a long distance. A
dixie at North Mankato would ex-
pedite the flow of water in the
spring and if the matter is properly
presented to the rivers and harbors
