There is.a suspicion In the minds Of public
officials in Washington, says the Brooklyn
Eagle correspondent, that the railroads of
the country are attempting &c haze the
Interstate Commerce commission. The law
requires the filing of freight tariffs with
the commission and the railroads are fling
them with a vengeance. They are coming
in at a rate which threatens to swamp the
commission.
Until the law went into effect members
of the commission had no idea OF the
rapidity with which freight rates could be
manufactured and altered. But they are
finding out now that freight managers are
mighty quick on the trigger when they
want to be. Since August "a when the rate
law went into effect. freight schedules to
the number of 1000 n day have been fired
into the Offices OF the commission here
The notices some times consist OF merely
a single sheet of paper. More frequently
they embrace a book with thousands of
classifcations. The other day the Now
York & New Haven road filed a new set
of schedules covering 1900 printed pages.
The force OF the commission Is hardly
large enough to receive and stow away
these documents before a new batch comes
piling In. The quarters set aside for the
storage of freight schedules are chock-a-
block. The records have spilled out into
the corridors and all the hooks and crannies
at the headquarters of the commission are
TANNED full. Congress has been appealed
to to provide a new building for the COM
mission, in order to accommodate the flood
of freight tariffs.

What Western Brains Have Done.

Let US look back for a moment to
the days on the farm when the sap of
the Maple tree was running and father
and mother would have an extra light
of happiness shining in their eyes, and
you are feeling just little more spir-
tied than usual"
1t was maple sugar time, and Of
course everything had to be attended
to just so-perhaps the mortgage"
was to be Tilted and dad" had
promised you a new buggy" and
mother had promised you something
else for your share in the work. Those
were jolly days, but there was work to
be done.
Supposing, then, at that time, Bill
Brown, your chum or next door neigh
Dor, had said to you, well, by jingle,
if didn't see Martha Smith boil some
water today and pour it on white sugar,
mind you, and then add some kind Of
extract and by the tarnation, Jim, if
that Martha Smiths syrup didn't taste
better and lock as good as that syrup
you are boiling now, and you're getting
all that smoke in your eyes too"
Wouldn't you have called Bill nbber?
Well, l guess yes.
Some two years ago, in the labratory
of the Crescent Manufacturing Co., Of
Seattle, Washington, was Mapleine
produced and Is known from coast to
coast as "Mapleine" extract. 1t has
been a boone to millions Of housewives
who make a syrup in their own homes
which tastes better than the real maple
syrup and is delici GUS favor when
used in cakes, puddings, etc. The
company will at any time send out
their booklet and give any information
desired, besides showing you that this
syrup does not cost more than 60c a
gallon and is made in five minute:
time.

II Poured.

Il didn't rain. 1t poured. This is
more correctly the true description OF
the fearful downpour that visited this
section Of the country last Saturday
afternoon. o. S. Frisk was working
with machine near Blaine, on the
head of Cow Creek in the Genesee
valley, eight miles south of Moscow,
where he says it poured Mr..
Frisk says they saw the storm coming
and got under shelter. The horses
were unhitched and when the storm
struck broke away and ran wildly in
their fright. The storm came from the
southeast and drove before it cloud
of dust. 1t lasted only about ten
minutes and during that time Mr.,
Frisk took refuge under the fly wheel
Of the treshing engine, having a quilt
over his head. He says it rained and
hailed, the air being apparently solid
sheet Of rain and hail. He says that
he thinks no living being could have
stood up under the awful torrent that
fell for those ten minutes. So sudden
was the down pour that the side hills
were apparently a sheet Of water several
inches deep, and in few minutes the
fats were two or three feet deep with
the raging torrent. Bridges and fen
ces were swept away, while crops were
badly damaged. No life was lost and
live stock escaped. 1t was cloud
burst and struck Blaine about one
o'clock Saturday just as the men had
started to work. The storm of which
Mr.. Frisk speaks was local, but did
considerable damage where it did hit.
He says the hail was three inches deep
on the level and in places piled ur
three feet deep, making it about i'm
possible to move their rig. The cook
house stood in flat and the water COW
cred the ground around the wagon two
feet deep.

The Limit of Life.

the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the at

termines its duration, seems to he b9-
tween 80 and 50; the prop r care of the

A Good Opportunity for Our Bows.

The University Of Idaho has Just
issued press bulletin" pertaining to
practical knowledge Of the science of
butter and cheese making. The Uni
versity now gives a short course on
that particular subject. No scholastic
requirements for this one year special
course makes it open for any OF the
farmer boys having a desire for that
kind of work. The value Of such a
course can be seen by ahe following
statements from high authority:
Extract from letter from Manager of
one of the largest Dairy Concerns in
the counp:
In the eastern states it is almost
required that before a man can expect
situation in first-class creamery he
must be dairy school graduate. This
is the only objection l have to a good
many butter makers in the West, that
they do not take time to qualify thems
selves, and therefore, they will have to
work at salary OF from 500 to $40
per month, whereas, if the same man
will take time and spend little money
for training himself along the line Of
scientific as we'll as practical, butter
making he may be able to obtain from
$l00 to $3.50 per month";
From editorial taken from the Amer
ican Creamery Review:
We do not know any industry that
offers to well trained young man or
an older man, better immediate returns
for his labor, and brighter future, than
is offered today by the dairy industry.
The manufacture of butter, cheese
and condensed milk, and many other
long established dairy activities, as well
as newer ones which are being rapidly
developed, need competent men more
than ever before. And there is another
cause which is just now creating de-
mand for more men we'll trained in
dairy industry. 1t is the movement in
many cities for better milk supplies.
Milk and dairy inspectors are wanted
and the call for them will increase
within the next few years"

A Great Country.

Are you looking for something
good7 If so, just drop into the Troy
Land Co.'s Office and see the fine
samples Of wheat, oats, clover, millet,
corn and timothy which are grown in
this section of the country and mostly
on pine land. This section Of the
country cannot be excelled in the pro-
ductiveness of its soil, climate and var
iety OF products in the Northwest, and
the cheapness Of the land, make it one
of the best sections Of the west for in
vestment Of capital. If people from
the Eastern and middle states could
only realize what a bright future there
is in store for people of limited means
to get good home, they would not
hesitate in coming to this section in
great numbers. We have one of the
most healthy climates in the West,
good water, schools, roads, churches
and fraternal societies of all kinds, and
the country is settled by a class Of
honest, intelligent and industrious
people, consisting OF Americans, Swedes
Norweigans and Germans who are de-
veloping the country and making beau
tiful HON es for themselves and children.
We have no cyclones, drouths, sun
strokes or insects to destroy the grain,
and nature gives US plenty Of moisture
to grow all kinds OF grains, fruits, and
vegetables without the aid OF irrigation.
Many people have the idea that we
are required to irrigate in this section
to raise crops, but such is not the
case, and the real estate agent is moi
required to go through the awful ordea
of shipping sample grain from another
section OF the country, or from the
east to have samples to show people, a.
is the case in some porsions Of Kansas
Nebraska or the Dakotas, when, aftel
displaying his oratorical abilities and
getting his prospective buyers in high
state Of excitement, they ask him tC
show them the land and the beautiful
growing grain, but alas, he cannot and
his customers must leave in disgust
But such is not the case in the great
Palouse and Potlatch sections OF the
West, of which Troy and vicinity are
situated in the center and surrounded
by American, Driscoll, Burnt, Little
and Big Bear, and Texas ridges which
are known far and wide, and are unsur
passed for their richness of soil, fine eli
mate and varieties Of products.
Not only is this rich agriculture
section, but on the North and Eas
there is large body of fine timbe
tributary to Troy, with many sawmill
doing thriving business.

THE KANSAS ORCHESTRA.

There is music on the breezes that are
waited from the west;
lis the cheerful sort of music that the
world agrees is best.
Not an organ or plano note is mingled IN
the song,
Not a tuba snort or drum beat in the
strain that's borne along
us the sound of clicking reaper Wneels-
the sound that always cheers,
For the music of the harvest beats the
music of the spheres.
Not a tall Italian either lends its strum-
ming to the chorus,
Not a Vex humane cello sheds its exor-
cisns DER US. -
Not traoman with his magic of nnanip-
ulative power
Mingles for a single moment in the mu-
sic of the hour
Just the click of busy headers shipping
off the golden ears
All, the harvest music's sweeter than the
singing of the spheres.
Urge the teams! The fields are ready
For the harvest they are white.
Urge the men-the sun declining gives a
threat of coming night.
Make 1t ready for the thrasher, make it
ready for the bin.
Never resting till your treasure to the
dregs is gathered in.
Tell the world: Let Kansas feed you as
of old-dismiss your fears!'
Oh, the harvest sounds are sweeter than
the singing of the spheres

News.

is THIS TRUE2


The Republican politicians around To-
peka, with the aid of some daily papers,
have got the people fooled about the en-
iorcement of the prohibitory law in the
cities. The saloons are all running wide
open In both Atchison and Leavenworth,
under a license system, the same as for
the last 20 years. They pay $50 a
month for license in Atchison to sell
z per cent" but nobody sells 80 per
cent" All the saloon men sell the real
stuff. In Leavenworth a '.citizens' COM
mittee" collects $50 a month from every
jointist and donates it to the city. If
a jointist declines to pay he is prose-
cuted for violating the prohibitory law.
1t is understood that a similar situation
obtains at Wichita and several other
large cities. Atchison has a brewery
which has been running day and night
for 40 years, and no effort has ever been
made to close it The devil is entitled to
his dues, and Attorney General jackson
is entitled to credit for his fight against
the violation of law; but it is just as
we'll to have the facts stated.-Holton
Signal.
If this is true, isn't it timn that a few
county attorneys were taught a severe
lesson? If such conditions exist the
county attorneys ought to know it-and
if they do not know it they show an ex-
treme incompetence or criminal neglect
of duty. Any county attorney can do
what John Schenck has done in Shaw
nee if he is competent and Industrious
and respects his oath of office. 1t is
true that drinking has not been entirely
suppressed in Shawnee county, but the
joints have been driven out, the clubs
are exceedingly cautious. and there is
trouble brewing for the law-breaking
drug store and it customers
Kansas has been fooling about the
violation of it's laws long enough. 1t
means business now, and the sooner the
law-breakers and all of their official
sympathizers realize it, the better.
