For NATIONAL WATERWAYS.

Senator NewIs tnds of Nevada, who
was 50 conspicu OUs in the movement
for national aid TO irrigation, and who
contributed much to the success of that
movement, has er Elisted in a similar and
equally important cause, the improve
ment Of the intel nal waterways of the
country. His spe ech on the subject be-
fore the National Irrigation congress at
Sacramento is ore of the significant
contributions TO the literature on the
question; and his treatment of the mat
ter ranks high inathses qualities of broad
craftsmanship.
Although he is a member Of the in
land waterways commission, which is
to study the problem and recommend
legislation by cong1 'ess. Senator New
lands distinctly disdlaimed authority to
speak for the comm fssion, and said the
views expressed in b is speech were only
his personal opinions. He believes in
ternal transportation facilities by i'm
provements of waterways offer the
most important advantages to the peo-
pie at large, and that the expenditure
necessary to the Improvements should
be made by the nation under supervi-
sion of national authorities.
Those who know how shipping has
declined on the great waterways Of the

floods at some seasons and extreme low
water at others, and traffic is such an
uncertain quantity that no large trans
portation interests will risk any large
investment in river steamer equipment.
Compared with the commerce of
twenty-five or thirty years ago, the
business done on the great rivers is
insignificant now, although the territory
tributary to them is immensely more
productive, the railroads are ccngested
ihopelessly when the crops ara being
moved, and the richest agricultural and
manufacturing states of the middle
west and south need river transporta-
ton more than ever
In any subject of such vast SCOPE
only an outline OF the problem can be
given; and Senator Newlands' address
suggests the outline in thoughtful, eff
fective form. He is right in his belief
that it is a problem for national study
and treatment; and he is justified in
believing that it ranks with irrigation
in importance and far-reaehing posi-
bilitieS.
The Irrigation congress could under
take no more valuable work than the
encouragement of public opinion favor

along the line indicated by the Nevada
senator.

A good deal of twadsale has been put

In Connecticut Cemetery.
Chicago Inter OCEAN,

In the old Cemetery Of Central vii
lage, near Platnheld. Conn, is the only
tombstone known in New England
erected to a COW and it's owner. In
several cemeteries have been found
records that horses, dogs and even
cats have been laid at rest beside their
masters, but in no other instance Oh
record has COW had a slab erected in
her honor
The cows name was Rosa, and the
inscription says that she gave two
pounds fifteen ounces of butter from
fourteen quarts Of milk in the day.
This was a pretty good record for d
COW, and a Jersey at that, the inscrip-
ton goes on to say.
On the opposite of the monument Is
the inscription: "All Ready. Mr.. Ca

die crossed with a bow.
Gurdon Cady, to whose memory the
stone was erected, was known from
the Massachusetts line to Long Island
sound and from Providence to the Con-
necticut river half a century ago as the
finest fiddler that ever drew a bow at
a country dance. He had two loves,
Rosa and his fiddle, both of which
found place on his tombstone.
Marin Kenney's celebrated inn at
STAFFORD was one Of the most popular
fields for Cady and his fiddle From

TWAS IN 'TATER TIME.
CRnstnn Herald.l

The late Senator Plat Of Connecticut
enjoyed funny stories and could tell a
good many himself Notwithstanding his
long public life, he always remembered a
yarn that he carried from his school days.
One year when the district schools
opened in his town one of the teachers,
in making a record of the ages of her pu-
pills as required by law, found that ono
little girl who came from a family not
noted for being especially bright, was
unable to say when her birthday came.
So. in order to complete her records, the
teacher walked two miles to see the girl s
mother one afternoon after school. Asked
II she could remember just when her
daughter was born the woman thought
for some little time, and then with a sort
of puzzled look, said:
HWeU. the girl was born in 'tater time,
that's sure, but 1 can't member whether
they was a-plantin' on 'em or a-dlggn

mHAr HURTS THE CONSUMER.

If there is any comfort in knowing
that other people are suffering from ex-
cessive cost of living. Salt Lakers may
find some improbable satisfaction in
the fact that communities elsewhere
are discovering reason for discomfort
with the prices of food. Around New
York, for instance. investigation shows
that farm products cost the consumer
lust about four dollars for every dollar
that goes to the farmer for the stuff the
consumer buys. For butter and eggs
the farmer gets a little better proper
ton. but even in these indispensables
he gets only from one-thfrd to one-half
of the price paid by the man who buys
it at retail
Somewhere between the farm and the
househoIder's table three dollars is
added to the original cost Of producing
foodstuffs. 1t seems incredible that
much of this sum should be paid for
transportation, and the only other con-
clusion is that the retail dealers, the
wholesalers or commission men and
the intermediate handlers have a profit
to divide amounting from two to three
hundred per eent-all of which falls
finally on the man who buys Of the re-
taller.
From Boston to Portland, Ore, the
same story appears wherever an inves-
tigation is made. The consumers are
unable to organize and they are sub
1ect to the extortion of dealers who can
organize The consumers only protec-
tion-and he pays for it's in the law
