deprive railroads of protection of their common property rights
 Such agencies as this congress can, and l hope will, be effective as a means of disseminating the truth concerning the carriers rights and needs as well as the rights and de- mands of the people.
 The territory represented by this congress is the larger part, and daily is becoming a more important part of our country. Its area Is over two million square miles-about 60 per cent of the area of the United States, exclusive of Alaska and the insular possessions. Its growth in wealth, in population, in all the products of civilization, furnishes a remarkable chapter in history. Such conventions as this show the desire and purpose of the people of the trans Mississippi territory to do nothing to retard and to leave nothing undone that will promote its further progress.
 Tt goes without saying that our endeavors must be honest. I firmly believe that they must be co-opera- ticve. In using the term 'co-oprative' l have in mind the relations of the railroads with the general public the essential interdependence of which I have just spoken. That in terdependence does not exclude the ordinary features of eXchange-buy- ing and selling. It should not pre- vent fair competition, nor should it forbid curbing by law the unjust use of power by capital or by labor, by corporations or by individuals, but il does suggest to a wise, a just and

from what I have said, while the problems of the past have been meas urably solved, we are facing a new one that is just as insistent in the minds of Benton and his coadjustors three generations ago. It is for more and better railroad facilities in this western country. The answer to this demand waits on the necessary money, which in volume will run into the hun
 dreds of millions of dollars. For req sons which you all understand, many of you better than I do. capital has be- come chary of railroad investment.

a generous public sentiment the in eXpediency of making any person or class of persons, or any business as- sociation of persons-in firms or in corporations-the football of what is called politics, and it does forbid treating any such as a sort of in dustrial F'rankenstein Now please do not mistake the intent or spirit of that remark. It is not a com plaint; not even a protest It is simply the thought of one whose em- plOyment, and ambition, and pride is inwrought with what is understood to be the object of this congress.

 Our government acquired nearly three-fourthS of this trans Mississip- pi country by purchase, paying there for an aggregate of fifty-three and a quarter millions-not quite 51a cents per acre. The land acquired by treaty was, probably no more and no less valuable than that which was bought The approximate total cost then was seventy three million dol lars Its estimated value now, ac- cOrding to the bureau of the census, is thirty two and one-half billions, or 445 times it's value when the United States acquired it. and 600 times as much as the cost of that which was purchased This increase in value is marvellous. It can not be duplicated in the history of the world. It reflects the greatest credit upon the energy and enterprise of those who have come from all parts of the earth to this section to till its farms, work its mines and build its cities.

The govern ment's price for the land was $1.25 per acre, but do you know. what is also true. that the price of the ad- joining even sections, retained by the government, was immediately doub- led? Do you know that the govern ment reserved the right to fix the rates to be charged for transporta- tion service performed for it by these land grant roads. and has exercised that right by paying only half of the going rates? That is likewise a fact. Do you also know what is demonstrable, that the saving to the government in the cost of transpOrta- ton and in the cost of caring for and controlling the Indian tribes. by the construction and operation of these lines, will aggregate much more

Perhaps the reason most effective in of restraining the investor is the fear of unreasonable limitation by the public upon the returns from the in- vestment.
 "The history of our railroads shows that the stockholders usually have been disappointed by the returns they have received. Statistics of the de- partment of agriculture, of the bureau of the census and of the Interstate Commerce commission show that in 1900 the farmers of this country re-

STONE CARRIERS OF INDIA.
Laborers of Powerful Physique With
 Whom Machinery Cannot Compete.

From the Scientific American.
 Recently an interesting water i'm pounding scheme has been carried to successful completion in southern India
 at the Mari-Kanave gorge upon the
 Vedarati river in Mysore state.
 When constructional work was in full swing more than 5000 natives were
 employed and the undertaking offered
 novel and interesting example of the
 cheapness of manual labor as com
 pared with mechanical appliances.
 In India there exists a class of labor
 CTS generically described as "nowgun-
 nies," or professional stone carriers,
 who, owing to their capacity for hard
 work, are in great demand for such enterprises as this. They are of pow erful physique and possess consider able stamina. They will work for ten hours day and transport from 70 to i 150 pounds of stone man. They form gangs according to the character or the work in hand, ranging from 2, 4, s, 12 to 16 men unit.
 Although such transportation seems somewhat slow in comparison with the possibilities of handling plants, yet they prosecute their work very ener- getically, and the scale of pay, ranging from 10 to 16 cents a man day, is so low as to render such labor far cheaper than mechanical transport. Indeed, a complete installation of the latter was
 laid down, cable being stretched
 across the gorge over the site, bring ing the stone direct from the quarries on the hillsides to the site ready for setting, but this had to be abandoned owing to it's being far more expensive than the "nowbunny" labor.
 l These men carried the masonry from the end of the railroad track connect | ing the site of the barrage with the ouarries to it's destination and placed | it in position.

Pere Sheet Was Nervous.

Next behind the sponsors walked the baby's mother, carrying the infant and supported by her father-in-law. Pere Sheet looked splendid. He had discarded his sabots and donned leather shoes, and wore a new overcoat. He had shaved with extra care but natural nervous ness in view of the solemnity of the oc- casion had made his hand tremble, and the razor had left gash all across his right cheek. His wife. who walked be- hind with the babys father. wore her fine black silk gown purchased the year of her own marriage, % years before, but as good as new and very becoming still Her pleasant, rosy face was seen to great advantage under her white net cap.

 Inside the little chapel the cure was waiting for them. Although the light was very strong, because he wished to contribute exceptional luster to the scene the cures assistant bore lighted wax taper at the font. The expense was not great, only 8 cents, but the effect was worth it. and the baby blinked at the flame with obvious satisfaction. Outside, in front of the door, all the villagers waited, adults and youth. Only the baby's relatives, cousins of the first second, third and fourth degree, were invisible. They knew what was due to them, and waited at homel

Standing or the church doorstep and prompted from behind in audible accents by his mother, the little godfather politely handed to the bellringer a blue cornet of sweets. Then, dipping his hand free ly into his basket he flung the little papers among the group of spectators and chuckled with glee as they dived and pushed and scuffied to pick them up.

 Then the procession formed again, there began the round of visits to rela- tives which is obligatory in every prop erly conducted christening. The boby was presented in turn to aunts, uncles ana cousins. The same compliments were eN- changed; the same admiring comments on the infants appearance collected from each cottage in turn, and it was nearly o'clock when the party reached the Sheet dwelling. Shortly after, the guests for the banquet assembled. Mere Sheet changed her gown and fled to her kitchen. and Pere Sheet descended to the cellar and brought up an armfui or bottles of red and white wine. Then the 15 took their seats.
 What feast it was! The sponsors were installed side by side in the middle of the table and, spoon in hand, awaited with impatience the arrival of the first course This was the soup, made with five pounds of beef, two large fowls, cab bages, onions, and carrots. Then came fine entrees provided by the baby s father. the Sevres pork butcher, in the shape of the choicest fois gras, and a pate of larks that was a chef douyre. Then the fowls from the soup were brought on. served with delicate white sauce and when they were removed large piece of roast veil arrived, gar nished with green peas.
