Dear Sir:
The following experience of an Illi-

produced showing how prosperity fol-

Western Canada. This letter was
written to the Chicago agent of the
ada and is dated at Evarts, Alberta,
April Sth, 1907:

objects to REDUCING Rates.

The Lincoln Traction company,
which the city of Lincoln is attempt
ing to make sell six tickets for 25
cents, filed its answer with the state
railway commission, saying to enforce
such a demand would be confiscatory.
The Citizens Street Railway company,
mentioned by the city as having a
lower rate, the Traction company says,
is operated at loss and its officers
have announced publicly it does not
intend to operate street car system
for gain, but expect to sell its road to
the city when completed

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying

appearance, but also affects the wear

BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied

New In Wall Paner.

A new design in fancy wall paper
patterns comes from Kansas City;
also a way to utilize cancelled checks.
A firm has had all its offices papered
with old checks, placed neatly edge
to edge. The face figures OF the
checks vary from $4,000 to $1,000,
and the total for one room is $S,000,-

the edges OF each check.panel, the
general effect is rather pleasing.

ways in order t. prevent competition
IN freight rates. The question OF pho
pulsion for the canals is being consid
cred, and the overhead trolley or othe
mode of electrical power is in favor
Recently the English government ap
pointed a committee to inquire into the
present condition OF canal communica

transportation than the railways af

but little fuel. Trial trips with sell
propelled barges will be made to tes'
the system In all Its details.

report another policeman whom he met
of Of the latter's regular beat.
Johnson offered Two witnesses, KeItt
Sutherland, the proprietor Of a lunch
room, and one Of the patrons OF the es-
tablishment. to show that. on the 18th
OF November. a policeman by the name
Of Jones had appeared on the premises
and requested 70 be served with lunch
The witnesses testified that the police
man had met Sergeant Dunagan at the
place.
The books OF the Eighth precinct con-
tained no record OF e report, although
IL was shown that the policeman was
fully a block away from his beat when
he entered the lunch room.
Early this morning the charges pre-
ferred by Sergeant Dunagan against
officer Johnson were read to the board
In the papers the sergeant charges that
johnson had been guilty OF maligning
his superior officers.
The sergeant further alleges that the
charges against him were the result OF
his reporting Johnson while the latter

MICHIGAN WAR,
POST TNASTERSHP
CAUSES STRUGGLE

Michigan statesmen are all stirred up.
There's a battle imminent between the
plain members Of Congress and William
Alden Smith. the new Senator-who was
one of the plain members himself not
very many months ago-and unless the
Pert Huron postmastership is settled
pretty soon, there is no telling where
the scrap will end.
The fight is all over the postmaster s
job. For more years than the average
politician can remember, the post
masters jobs have been at the disposal
Of the Representatives. The President
has appointed the candidates they have
recOmmended-if the Representatives
were Of the Administration party-and
the Senators were content with their
old-time patronage found in the big
Federal Offices Of the States. Under this
arrangement everyone was happy. or at
least looked pleasant. Now Senator VIII
liam Alden Smith steps in and demands
the Port Huron postmastership as his
perquisite.
Just 10 show now they stand on the
matter the Michigan members got to-
gether and caucused yesterday. They
said things that would melt newspaper
type. and concluded by appointing Mr..
McMorran as a committee Of one 10
visit the White House to ascertain
where they stood. Mr.. McMorTan called
on the President early this morning, but
refused 20 discuss the subject when he
left the White House.
McMorran's candidate for the Port
Huran job Is B. c. Cady. The present
postmaster. a man named Sherman, has
been in the Office for eight years, and
is tae choice Of Senator Smith

What Congress Did Today.
THE SENATE.

The Senate's session today was brief.
The discussion OF financial matters
was prevented by the strategy OF the
Republicans and the session lasted
but three-quarters OF an hour.
A large number OF bills, principally for
. pensions, were introduced.
Senator Dillingham; brought I'D a con-
current resolution which the Senate
passed, authorizing the Immigra lion
Committee TO rer. offices In the Dis
trict at not over $500 per HnnUm The
old home OF Senator Morgan of Ala
bamR VIII be used.
Senator Gall!nger introduced aud the
Senate passed n resolution calling on
the President for a comparative state
ment OF the exports from Germany for
the months OF July, August. and Sep
-cmber. 1907. and the corresponding
months OF 1906. This Is the opening
of the tariff war.
