QUARTER OF BILLION DOLLARS
FOR COMMON GOOD.
viii Donate Much to charity-Educa-
ton Will Also Be Aided in a Man.
ner to Astonish World-Vast Sum
to New York-Personal Friend of
Family Is Quoted.

The New York Herald says that ac
cording to a member of John D. Rookie
Teller Jr.'s Bible class, and who is also
a personal friend of John d. Rockefel
Ter and in a position to know of his
affairs, the latter proposes soon tc
make a princely gift to New York city
1t will amount to at least $50 900. 900
1t will be partly charitable and partly
educational.
This man also said that when Mr.
Rockefeller was comforting with his
son at Lakewood, N. j., a fortnight
ago, the meeting was not for the pur.
pose of discussing any immediate gift
but was on the subject of Mr.. Rookie
feller's will, which document the oil
king was then completing with the aid
Of his son and his lawyers. 1t was
said that this document will astonish
the world when it is made public. 1t
will, it is declared, give no less than
$3.50, 100000 for charitable and educa-
t!cnal purposes and it will be so be
slowed that the benefit therefrom will
almost be perpetual.
The manner in which these be.
quests will be bestowed is said to be
mainly educational and charitable
While there are some contributions
for religious purposes, it is stated that
Mr. Rockefeller does not think it nee
essary to extend any great financial
aid to churches. He thinks the
churches are growing steadily strong
er and that there is no danger that
they will ever need any great financial
assistance from one man.
"Mr. Rockefeller, however, is said to
be much in favor of the growth of
education and TO the furtherance of
this he mas done much in his will. He
believes that education will make this
country the greatest in the world,
and that every cent contributed to
ward that object will help to make
better citizens and better Christians.
las to the charitable requests, it
was said some time ago that Mr..
Rockefeller had in mind building
model tenements for the poor such as
have been erected in some European
cities.
"In his will, the informant states,
Mr.. Rockefeller has provided these
things: Requests for religious pur-
poses, though not of large sums, lib
eral requests for education, and what
are described as princely requests for
charitable purposes. 1t is said that
there is scarcely a man, woman or
child tat will not benefit in some way
by these prospective donations

Was it a Murder2

What appears to be either a suicide
or murder mystery was discovered
recently by workmen who are quarry :
ing rock to be used IN the building the
dam across the Yakima river near Sc
lab, about eight miles from North
Yakima, when they unearthed two
skeletons, one of which is that of a
man and the other a woman.
The bodies were lying close together,
the woman's face to the ground, while
the man's face was turned toward the
heavens. No flesh was discovere, but
the skeletons are well preserve and
patches of their hair were found and
gold filled teeth, which make it quite
certain that the bodies are not those of
Indians.

MRS. ROOT SANITARY EXPERT.
Wife Of Secretary Of State Has Very
Pronounced Views.

Mrs. Root, wife of the secretary
Of state, who will be the next chate.
Iaine of the Morton house, is known
as the most ardent germicide in the
higher social set of Washington.
Mrs. Root has made a study of germs,
and 1t is her knowledge on these
points which has made her such a diff
ficult person to please when it comes
to choosing residence. She has
likewise reputation of moving more
than any other official hostess.
Her home must be absolutely anG
thoroughly sanitary, and before TAX
ing possession of any house, or room
in hotel for that matter, she makes
a test of pipes, etc. Like all believers
in hygienic principles, Mrs. Root re.
lies on air and sunshine, and the Sc
lection of the Morton home was be-
cause the entire house sits on a high
terrace at the juncture of four streets.
Mrs. Root. under the guidance of the
surgeon general of the army, has stud
led the standard works relating to
the destruction of germs, bugs and
bacteria, and she therefore puts her
hobby into force under scientific direc.
tons.

SENATOR'S Who Rise Early.

People who have an idea that sena-
tors do not work like common people
should observe some of them going to
tho capitol early in the morning. A
few days ago Senator McCumber, of
North Dakota, went into the building
and to the rooms of the committee on
pensions. of which he is chairman, be.
fore $3.50 o'clock. Very few depart.
mental employees were at their desks
at the time he began looking over his
correspondence.
Senator Knute Nelson. of Mime
sofa. is probably one of the earliest
risers, as he is one of the earliest men
In the senate to get down to work. It
is not unusual for him to be at his
committee room before eight o'clock,
and sometimes he reaches the capitol
before the elevators begin running.
Some of the members of the supreme
court Of the United States are early
workers. More than one of them finds
that his thinking machine when deal
ing with knotty problems of the law
works more readily in the early dawn
and rises in order to get in the best
work at that hour.

orally at leading stock shows and ex-
pertinent stations.
A comparison of the live animal
with cuts of meat subsequently taken
from it, and shown as finished ready
for the retail trade, gives in a strik-
ing fashion, the relative success of
the feeding. In the illustrations shown
herewith, the difference between the
two animals before and after killing
is easily seen.
The first steer of common breeding
is lacking in the development of the
parts which make up the highest
priced cuts. The loin is not we'll filled
out and the rib is poorly fattened,
neither is the shank we'll covered.
This animal also has a poor form for
feeding and is much under fattened.
He represents a class, many of which
are being produced, yet net their feed
ers-no profit.
The comparison of the form of the
grade Angus steer with the common
steer shows at once the superiority of
The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1907-01-17

therefore, considerably below what II
might be, had the animal been fed
longer. The shape of the rib shows
that it was not we'll sprung as com.
pared with that of the Angus steer.
On the other hand the rib from the
Angus steer is of prime quality
choicely finished. There is large
amount of lean meat and at the same
time, sufficient quantity of fat, we'll
distributed so IS to give cuts the high
quality. The flesh is we'll marbled and
the well sprung rib gives deep flesh
near the central body line.
In the opinion of Farm and Home
the dressing-out of these carcasses
should be more carefully studied by
feeders. Far more of the success In
the profitable feeding of steers de.
ponds upon the selection of the proper.
ly formed animal and the finishing
than have ever been supposed. How.
ever careful the stockman is to use
the proper feeds, deficiencies in these
two points cannot be made up.

THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL,
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.
Will Open Up Immense Area Of Free
Homestead Lands.

The railway facilities Of Western
Canada have been taxed to the ut.
termost in recent years to transfer
the surplus grain crop to the eastern
markets and the seaboard. The large
influx of settlers and the additional
area put under crop have added large.
ly to the grain product. and notwith.
standing the increased railway facil.
tiles that. have been placed at the dis.
posal of the public, the question of
transportation has proved to be So
rious one.
It will, therefore. be good news to
everyone interested in Western Can.
ada to know that an authoritative
Statement has been given out by G.
M. Hays. president of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway. that that rail.
way will do its share towards moving
the crop OF 1907 from Alberta, Sas.
katchewan and Manitoba to tide water.
and thus assist in removing a serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr. Hays, who
has Just completed a trip from Port.

rio schooner, distance Of 735 miles,

In q position to take part in the trans.
portatton of the crop of 1907, and that

The wheat crop of 1906 in Western
Canada was about 100000 bushels,
and. with the increased acreage which
Is confidently expected to be put un.

lated that fully 125.000.000 bushels will
be harvested in 1907. The necessity

ment made by Mr.. Hays win bring en-.
couragement to the farmers of the

free homesteads is thus assured by
