INSISTS ON THE OPEN SHOP

DULUTH, Mimi, July 2I.-All hope OF an
immediate settlement of the dock workers
strike in Duluth appears 20 be at an end.
At a meeting of the strikers held this
morning In Lincoln Park Mayor Cullum
read the answer of the United States Steel
Corporation officials to the communication
Of the strikers. The steel company refuses
to treat with the men union.
The company asks that the men go back
at the old scale of wages and on the old
"open-shop plan. No mention Of pos
sible increase was made.
The men on hearing the communication
voted on the question Of returning to work
and decided that they would remain out and
fight the strike out to the end.
This will probably result in the indefinite
postponement of ore shipments. as the
mines cannot ship unit! the docks can take
care OF the ore.

OUR TWO GREAT elvERs.

Mr. Rockefeller's great gift of $32,-
100000 TO the cause of general educa-
ton Is recorded as the greatest single
gift which has ever been made by any
one man for any one purpose. AS
such It becomes worthy of imperish-
able record, so that the plutocrats of
the future. If not of the present. may
see what they must do to establish n
new record. 1t may even be on en-
enlargement to Andrew Carnegie to
persist in his noble endcavor not to
die rich. While Mr.. Carnegie does
not appear on the records rs having
bestowed any such munificent single
sum, yet his total rather overtops
Mr.. Rockefellers. For instance, we
see by recent tables that Mr.. Car.

Glow concocted the scheme with
the idea that the wealthy men -hr'
would warn of impending danger
would reward him in substan-
tial manner. Bigelow sticks to
his original story.
Bigelow confessed to the police
that he devised the dynamiting
scheme to obtain money and also
confessed sending threatening let
ters to various railroads and cap
italists demanding large sums ag-
gregating more than $1oo,ooo. He
has been arraigned in the district
court on four counts, of assault
with intent to kill and is facing
prosecution in the United States
court on the charge of using the
mails to defraud. His father who
is on his way here from Bryan,
Ohio, where he is superintendent
of schools, is said to be bringing
evidence to prove that his son is
insane.

Heavy Fines.

Railroads are not having the
easiest time in the world with the
postoffice department these days,
says Montrose Press, for it has
just leaked out that the Southern
Pacific road, which has yearly
contract of $I,7oo,ooo for carry
ing the mails, has recently been
fined $4,000 for its failure to de-
liver mails within one half hour
of the time called for in its pub
lished schedule. The Santa Fe
has been fined a total of $283,ooo
for. the same offense during the
same period.

Action will remove the
doubt which theory can
not solve.
Still 1t PAYS.

The beet harvest is said by the
local growers to be little disap-
pointing now that the crop is be-
ing taken from the ground. The
prospects in the early part of the
season, say up to the end of June,
were SO good, and the top growth
later on was SO luxuriant that
looking over field it certainly
had all the surface appearances Of
a bumper crop. But the roots do
not prove to be of SO rank
growth and it is taking a good
many of them to make ton, says
Rocky Ford Tribune. Still the
case is one of disappointed expec-
tations, not of actual deficiency
in comparison with the average
crop of past seasons. That the
yield per acre will finally average
up with other years is the predic-
ton. AS to the sugar content,
the smaller beet is making the
better showing and the tonnage
of manufactured sugar will proba-
bly, be little better than in past
seasons. This ought not to grow
el the farmer. He-is not losing
anything that he contracted for,
and the beet is good paying
crop as the seasons run. The
acreage of the lower Arkansas
valley is something immense this
year and will turn in an immense
amount of money to the people
of the farming profession.

Railroad Rate Regulation in Cen
ada,

In Canada the railroad compan-
les are not permitted to change
their rates without consent Of the
railroad commission, says Tim
herman, Portland, Oregon. In
many respects it would seem as if
this law was very just one, as
it prevents any serious change Of
rates being put into effect with
out due hearing being given the
interested parties. The idea OF
comforting similar powers on the
interstate commerce commission
where interstate rates are involv-
ed, might be productive of excel
lent results.

Successful Beet Topper.

Fort Collins, Oct. I5.-A ma
chine invented by Blevins and
Gilcans, farmers of Timmarh, was
tested at the agricultural college
experiment farm and proved
successful beet topper. This r,a-
chine tops the beets while they
are still in the ground, topping
not only those which protrude
above the ground but also those
which are beneath the surf1ce.
With the machine one man and a
team can top three acres a lay,
thus doing the work of twelve
men. Beet growers in this dis
!iict say this machine will solve
the problem of labor in the beet
fields and save the farmers tho...
sands of dollars.
