MILLIONS FOR HOGS
 4 SOURCE OF WEALTH
Within a Few Weeks They Put s3e,-
 oo0, 900 Into the Pockets of Farmers.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-fSpecial Correspon- dence of The Republican. )--Thirty-s six million dollars hag gone into farmers pockets during tie month just ended as a result of the phenomenal ship ments of hogs which have poured into Chicago. Kansas City and other points for the past. few weeks, because the high prices of corn made feeding un
 profitable. It is estimated that 4.000,- 000 hogs reached primary resolving points in the Mississippi valley in Jan uary. This breaks all previous Jan uary records. including the last one, which was made in January 1901. In addition to this another s4.000,000 worth of porkers were slaughtered on the farms. Taking the country as a whole it is the heaviest run of hogs in trade history. Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin have made the heaviest contributions to the movement and the receipts at Milwau- kee and St. Paul show enormous gains. The cattle trade is in a rut at present and prices for sheep and lambs are low. The hog movement, however, proves the soundness of the livestock business in the west and successfully disposes of the theory that the present industrial depression is based on any real depreciation in value of the na- Cural resources of the. country.
 Significance is seen in the recent Baltimore speech of Chairman Burton of the house commit1ee on rivers and harbors. in which he called attention to the national need of more inland waterways and added: But before the highest development of transportation can be reached it is essential that there be d new order of things in the relation between the waterways and the railways, under which there shall

no longer be a destructive policy of competition. but rather a constructive policy of cooperation. The power of the federal government should be exer- cised to secure the harmonious action of different agencies of transportation for the general benefit of all" It is not many months since Chairman Bur ton was very chary of giving public encouragement to advocates of the Lakes to-the- Gulf project or any other for which large federal appropriation will be needed. He has gone on record now thus: After the elimination of many projects which appear visionary
 or extravagant. there is room for a wise and helpful expenditure of largely
 increased amounts upon the water
 ways of the country" Moreover MT.
 Burton is from Cleveland, the head
 quarters of the Lake Carriers Associa-
 tion whose recently expressed oppo
 sition to the Lakes to- the Gulf project
 is based on ostensible fear that the
 level of the Great Lakes will be lower
 ed by the flow of such a waterway.
 Congressman Lorimer has pointed out
 that the waterway necessarily will be
 a slack water canal. and that when
 competed IL WOulO not require even the 10000 cubic feet a minute to which
 the Chicago drainage canal is entitled.
 Some progress was made during the
 week in Illinois by those attempting
 to carry out the states waterway plan.
 that of creating waterpower revenues
 which shall pay the proposed S20.0O0,- 900 issue of state bonds with which the link from Lockport to the Mississippi river is to be constructed. Upon solu- tion of the Illinois problem the entire project now hangs. The waterway ad- vocates at Springfield may propose compromise plan in order to avoid the imminent litigation with the private waterpower interest, litigation which necessarily would be protected for sew eral years. It has been assumed. per-
 haps erroneously. that the Economy Light and Power company, owner of the dam and riparian rights, would de- mand several million dollars to sur render it's rights. But inquiry is now being made to see if this be true or if

The officers of the Economy company have repeatedly stated their friendli- ness to the waterway and have provid- 1 ed for lock in the dam acceptable to | the war department and army engi- neers, who have said the dam would | save S422, ,000 in the construction of the waterway channel.
 Among the obituary anecdotes of Col. | Burr Robbins. of Chicago. whose cir GUS posters Iand tanned hyenas and things can be vividly recalled by thou sands of older people in every state | in the union, the most characteristic one is this: It was the pleasant stunt l of his lion tanner to ride in the cage with an assortment of "man eating king of beasts captured in the heart , of Africa to quote old circus bills. One day Mir. Lion Tanner emphatically declared that his pay was too low for the chance he took so he struck" The parade was about to start. You - - -, you can't bulldOze Burr Robbins" roared the circus owner. who won colOnelcy in the civil war for bravery. Why I don't need you any way. Here's where I'll save money; I'll ride in there myself" Whereupon he jumped into the cage with no wea- pon but a whip. and rode there throughout the parade. This tanned the tanner and all the other circus men. Robbins died last week a wealthy man, reputed to have farms in half dozen states. and a magnificent collection of Chicago real estate, banks and real oil wells. He stanted his life by run ming away when his parents sent him to college and he drew s15. month at first from Spaulding & Rogers circus, caring for the tights of Charlie Fish. q bareback daredevil whom he later hir- ed at $25O a week. Perseverance econ omy and defiance even of lions did it.
 When the visitors to Chicago were able this week to ride from the stock yards to Lincoln park and from the site of the old Bulls Head tavern to Jackson park where the Columbus ex position buildings stood. all for one fare, five cents, they realized that Chi cago's street car tangle was unsnarled. Now that the problem had been solved of satisfying the holders of stocks or bonds of half a dozen different com panies. each with the ingenious assort- ment of securities that Charles T. Yerkes created with ample profit 70 himself. the prospects for good street cars, rails and power seem very i'm mediate. The tasks of the swarm of lawyers engaged upon the matter would have been ended long ago except for the necessity of getting for the new Chicago Railway company an unin- cumbered title to the various proper ties of the Union Traction company and it's underlying. leased or allied companies. Now the bonds which will be issued for rehabilitation will be un- der a first mortgage upon all the net work of north and west side car lines. At first about $l2,OOO.O0O will be ex- pended and arrangements for this sum have been made with the National City Bank of New York and the Harris Trust & Savings Bank of Chicago Then the names of West Chicago Street Railway" Union Traction. and Consolidated Traction will vanish from such of the cars as are worth the paint to blot them out. with the unsayory memories Of many years.

So fierce was the s1.5O0OOO fire which destroyed the Peats. Colby and Keith buildings last week that the one structure supposed to be fire proof was gutted by the flames as though built in the old way of wood and plaster. Windows 40 feet distant from one building were cracked although insurance men had said that nothing less than a blow pipe blaze could dam age them. At one time 800 firemen were. working in a freezing wind and their success is shown in the saving of buildings adjoining those which burned. Fifty thousand spectators defied the cold to watch the conflagra- tion and they cheered one particularly heroic fireman who climbed a fire es- cape seven stories dragging a heavy hose and finally plunged into a win dow out of which steam and smoke was pouring. By the time he reached the seventh floor he was black with smoke and covered with icicles' from head to foot When he disappeared the crowd gave an audible gasp: half an hour later he reappeared on the fire escape wearing one of the most gorgeous hats any woman ever saw and welcomed with roar Of laughter Cropping the smoke and dark he had seized this out of the millinery stock to replace the helmet which had been lost.

"To succeed. shun the big city" was
 the counsel that reverses the preva-
 lent ideas of the ambitious young man
 given by Samuel Alschuler of this
 city, among reasons why cities as big
 as Chicago should discharge the in-
 Aux of people. Not one in 10000 who
 seek fortune or favor in a great hive
 of people realize their hopes. Instead
 to take up farming or trades" he said.
 Those vacations should absorb just
 as keen men as the professions and
 the professions are overcrowded. There are 5000 lawyers in Chicago and a tenth that number would be enough. Here in this city of over 2,000. 900 peo- pie, most of us are not producers of wealth; We are packed into limited area like so many ants. TO farther crowd this area means to diminish the possibilities of all the rest making a living. This means that misery will result for many It is wonderful how the city draws young people to it-and more wonderful how they manage to live when they get here. The nation of small cities is the better off but the rural population persists in flock ing into urban life" The aim of in dustrial education which has taken new impetus throughout the country is to raise the trades in popular esti- nation
 Hypnotism as an aid to good marks in school has been tried by two Chi cago pupils and found flat failure. | It didn't work. They studied a book on "mesmeric influences and when they had the formula down pat. one of the boys ,seeretely commanded his teacher: Arise and mark me 100." The teacher arose but she was going to- do it anyway. He tried it again. when he had caught the teachers eye according to instructions. but she didn't respond. at least not as expect ed. His mate in another room had even worse luck for his department record suffered. They had been prom ised a prize by their parents if their standing was high but if they won it,
 they found they would have to study
 something besides hypnotism.
