A Good Suggestion

We are indebted to A. Younie for the
following clipping from the Loveland,
(, (Col) Reporter: The Loveland Fruit
Growers association have closed their
business for this season and Manager

compares favorably with last season al
though the decrease in amount Of red
raspberries is about $3400 when COM

season, the canning factory will arrange
to take all surplus berries of the Satur.

kets for the coming week.
Below we give the report as handed
to us and those who wish to compare it
with the report of 1905 may do SO by
referring to the issue Of the Reporter

Mr.. Younie is confident that there is
an opportunity here for fine commits
sion fruit business in connection with
good general store and that the man
who makes the venture will coin for
tune.
He says the idea now is that the fruit
grower has to depend on the local mar
ket and il that is glutted his fruit spoils
on his hands.
The idea seems to be good one and
is matter that would appeal to

enough to have such valuable organ

DEMOCRATS ARE
WAKING UP

Local democrats who are mem
bers of the Jeffersonian club are
discussing methods by which the
usefulness of the club can be ex-
banded. 1t is suggested that officers
be elected at the annual banquet
by referendum ballot. a ballot to be
prepared and laid at each plate.
The necessity for home for the
club is also preached. That the
club have a home in which meet
ings can be held and guests proper
~ entertained is desired. A num-
Der of schemes raising funds are
advocated, the one meeting with
the most favor being the engage
ment of a number of noted reform
ers to lecture. This includes tours
through Western cities of such men
as La Toilette. Folk, Tillman and
others who have been prominent
in both parties in the advancement
of reform measures in their respec-
tive states.
1t was also believed that course
of lectures from such men would
be of great educational advantage
to the country and would do much
toward keeping live issues before
the people.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 49,
A strong movement has been start
ed in Washington to have an
amendment passed to the interstate
commerce act providing for recipro.
cal demurrage as one remedy for
the car shortage trouble. 1t is be-
lieved that this will be among the
recommendations which President
Roosevelt will make in a message
to be sent to congress shortly.
Reciprocal demurrage" is an.
other way of saying: Fine the rail.

But when the railroad delays, the
shipper is expected to smile. The
shippers are tired of this lug.

begun united and systematic
movement in all parts of the coun.
try, and congress will hear from
them in few weeks.
The fight is already ON in a mum.
Der of states in the Middle West to
secure similar laws from state le-
gislatures. The idea is to get state
laws to cover state commerce, and
interstate law for the interstate
commerce.
In explanation of the general de-
murrage proposition one of the big
shippers organizations has issued
the following:
Our system Of demurrage is a
jug-handled proposition. Demurrage
is the charge which railroad COM
pany makes for each day, Sundays
and holidays excepted, that a ship
per or receiver detains car over
4S hours. If you orGer car of your
railroad agent in which to load
grain or any commodity, you are
allowed As hours free time, Sun
days and holidays excepted, after
the car has been placed for load
ing, but you will have to pay 81 for
each day you detain the car over
4S hours, Sundays and holidays eX
cepted.
This is demurrage. 1t is fair

THE MAN who'd STORM HE'LL
HAS HAD SOME STORMY TIMES

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 49,
In the senate debate over the shoot
ing up of Brownsville, Tex, and the
dismissal of a battalion of the 25th
infantry, colored, by the president
without honor" reference was
made to one of the presidents au-
thorities in the matter. Capt. Bill
Mcdonald. Senator Foraker re-
ferred to him somewhat sarcastical-
ly in discussing the reputation Nc
Donald has that he would storm
hell with a bucket of water"
Mcdonald is taken more serious
ly by the president and by the peo-
pie of this country than by Foraker.
His bravery is we'll established, and
the statement that he would storm
hell itself is regarded as extrava-
CANT only because he has not been
called upon to do so.
Mcdonald is a captain of a COM
pany of Texas rangers, and investi-
gated the Brownsville trouble at the
direction of the governor, making
a dozen arrests. In his 20 years of
service he has had many deadly
encounter, and himself has been
shot a number of times.
His most noted difficulty was
with Sheriff Joe Matthews, of Chill
dress county, and two deputies of
the latter at Quanah, 10 years ago.
They opened fire at each other. Nc
Donald fell, badly wounded. while
the sheriff was killed and the two
deputies routed.
He arrested one malefactor, after
trailing him 400 miles across the
state.
He arrested - men single-hand-
ed on the charge of lynching two
white settlers. He secured their
conviction.
Recently Capt. Mcdonald and
three rangers were fired upon from
ambush by Mexicans. Four of the
assailants were slain in the fire
that was returned.

businesslike and just to all.
Sauce good enough for the goose
should be good enough for the gan
der; that is, If you order a car in
which to ship grain or any com
modify, the railroad company
should furnish that car within As
hours, and for any delay over this
time they should pay you a demur
rage of 81 day or fraction there
of; and they should also move your
loaded cars toward destination al
the rate of IS miles a day, which is
but three miles an hour.

forced it would save the grain

dreds Of thousands of dollars an
nually. Five Western states have
such laws, and in 10 other states
the subject is being agitated.
Last winter a reciprocal demur
rage bill was introduced in the
Iowa legislature. Its experience
was typical. Railroad attorneys
and lobbyists. great and small
sober and WOODY, worked night and
day to defeat the measure. They
succeeded by close margin only
but the shippers and business men
back of the bill consider that expe
rience only a skirmish. The real
battle is to come"
Commissioner Lane, Of the inter
state commerce commission, said in
his recent report to President
Roosevelt on the car shortage sit
uation that no demurrage law could
build track or cars, or furnish en-
gines. In other words, demurrage
is regarded by Commissioner Lane
as only partial remedy. The real
difficulty, in the opinion Of most OF
the commissioners, is the failure OF
the railway officials to put sufficient
money into equipment and better
ments. The railroads, in other
words, have been run too much in
the interest of Wall st. speculation

the public. The result is that while

politics he made national reputa-
ton as a corruptionist, yet he con-
siders that he was justified in such
course. His great political op-
ponent, Marcus DAILY, was a wonder
full organizer who stopped at moth
ing to attain his ends. Bulldozing,
bribery and coercion were freely
used by him to secure control of
Montana courts and legislatures. In
one campaign he actually named
the candidates on the republican,
democratic and pOpulist tickets. In
a way w. A. Clark. with his great
wealth, became a rallying point for
the people of the state, who viewed
with alarm the autocratic govern
ment of Mr.. DAILY. 1t was the ne
cessity of the people that made
them flock by thousands to the
Clark standard. In fighting an op-
ponent of the DAILY type many Mon
tanans will say that Clark was JUS
tilted, that it was necessary to fight
fire with fire. Clark only asked a
senatorship, while DAILY wanted to
control absolutely every branch of
the government of the state. 1t
was choice with the pleople of
the lesser evil.
"W. A. Clark has always been a
good man to his employees, seldom
has he discharged a man, and then
only when circumstances made such
action absolutely necessary. DAILY
would clean out an entire depart
ment in order to remove one man,
but Clark never took revenge on his
men and never interfered with
those he placed in charge of any
department of his business. Many

member his employees with Christ
