NO RATE WAR
Great Western Road Recalls
Its Grain Schedule to
Avoid Fight

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Chicago
Great Western railroad today with.
drew the notice of cutting grain
rates which it had filed a few days
ago. New tariffs were to have been
established, which equalized the rate
from Omaha to st. Paul and from
Omaha to Chicago, and it was pre-
dicted by traffic experts that the move
would result in a widespread rate war.
The withdrawal of the new rates,
however, renders this contingency re
mote. ..

There's two fellows live down near
me that are forever arguing about
the tariff Neither of them know
much about it but they are foxy LADS
when it comes to the back talk, al
right One says if it were not fu.'
the tariff our exports would not ex-
ceed our imports, which leaves a
big ha;a,ec in our favor every yeaf,,
The other guy says it is not in our
favor for our exports to exceed our
imports, because of the contrary
were true it would show that we had
more money to spend abroad than
the fellows who spend their money
with us. I know that we like free
traders around the hardware store
and we surround them with every
protection it is possible to. insure
them. The boss is home trader
but he says there are some things
that it pays to purchase in foreign
countries, because we can hand you
out better quality for less money.
Take it in Razors and shears the
English and German are better than
ours. Take it in tools-the Ameri-
can makes are most always best. We
guarantee all we sell. NJ

SCHOOL AGE IN THE COUNTY
MORE THAN THIRD OF Chill
DREN DO NOT ATTEND. SCHOOL.

DREN DO NOT ATTEND. SCHOOL.
The enumeration of children OF
school age for Burleigh county for
the year 1908 is now complete and in
the hands of County Superintendent
c.. L. Vigness. The returns summed
up are as follows:
Number Of boys enumerated !. 1884
Number of girls enumerated IL 1899
Total enumeration ....... .2,783
Number not in school during six
ty days during year ......... 9S5
Number excusable ............. $50
Number not accounted for as ex-
gcusable ............... 5l5
Among those excusable have been
counted all children given as years
of age and all persons 10 and 10 years
of age. Distance from school is not
accepted as a valid excuse for nom
attendance, because it is up to the
school board to provide school ad-
vantages to all children alike, regard
less of distance. The returns show
1875 children residing over three miles
from school.
The fact that more than third of
the children of school age-S95-in
the county Cor 615 of those accounted
as ineNcusable) do not attend school
at least two months of the year is not
creditable to the intelligence of the
parents, and is a striking comment
airy on the false economy of school
districts in not providing more schools
or conveyances to take distant pupils
to those already established.
It is unfair to the youth Of the
county that they should be deprived
of chance to develop the brains God
has given them at time when educa-
ton is easily and quickly absorbed
There is a screw loose in the school
laws or management when such con-
| dition can exist with an otherwise
progressive people, and in state
which boasts so loudly of it's educa,
tionM advantages. -%
1t has been suggested, and it may
be true, that the chief directors OF
education in the state are so absorb
| ed in higher education that the
groundwork or elementary founda'
| ton for broader research in study is
entirely lost sight of. ."
In state like North Dakota, where
large majority Of the children are
Of the farm, grow up on the farm and
remain on the farm, it would seem to
the layman that institutions, of high.
er education" are Of secondary i'm.
! portance to the great mass of the
| people as compared to the value OF
| the common school and compulsory
attendance thereto. ~ >.,.
The state institutions will take care
of themselves-or at least they have
done pretty well SO far Let more
thought be given such conditions as
are presented in the above figures
which are probably the same in othel
counties-and the farm boys and girls
| in later years will have reason to be
thankful they have had the same
chance" as the city child.

The available depth across the IN
ner bar at the entrance 20 Pensacola
Earbor in 1879, previous 10 any work
OF Improvement, was 1875 feet, the
width of the channel being contracted
by the encroachment of the Middle
Ground shoal TO the southwark. The
harbor entrance and channel way
were also INSTRUCTED by wrecks, and
the western shore in the vicinity OF
Fort McRee was cutting away rapid
iy, almost the whole of old Fort Nc
Ree washing away before the eros
ion was stopped.
The project OF 1877 considered only
the removal of the wrecks; that OF
1873 called for the removal Of these
wrecks and for making a survey to
depermine further recommendations
tor Improvement. The project of 1881
provided for dredging a channel 300
feet wide and "a feet deep at mean
low water for tle temporary relief
Of navigation, and also for protecting
the shore line near Fort McRee, with
a view to preventing further injur-
icus changes. Dredging under this
project was carried on 1T various
times between 1881 and 1898, and
at the close OF the dredging operations
in August, 1898, the available channel
was '225 feet wide and "a feet deep

In 1896 the same board that recon-
mended the first amendment to the
project of 1891 submitted a second
amendment providing for the expend-
iture of all funds available in contin-
uing the work of dredging across the
Caucus shoal and for building a dredge
and opening the channel across the
Caucus shoal so feet deep at mean

feet, with such side slopes as the
material would assume. If sufficient
funds were made available by con-
gress. Until a channel should be
opened by dredging across he Caucus
shoal, as above proposed, TIE board
recommended that the construction of
the jetties for its maintenance be not
considered.

The river and harbor act approved
June Is. 1902, appropriated S220,000,
OF which $4,000 might be used in
constructing a sea going suction

built and turned over to the district
in August, 1905. The same act modi-
fed the project, which now provides
for dredging a channel 80 feet deep
and 500 feet wide from the Gulf of
Mxico to the dock line at the east end
of the city of Pensacola. There is
no approved estimate of the cost OF
this project. Under this amended
project there has been expended for
dredge construction $172,221.27 and
for the Improvement. S224.024-15, of
which about $150,000 mas been applied
to maintenance.
There was received for salvage

and from sale of unseryiceable prop
erty. $26.77.
The project is about 80 per cent
completed.
Caucus Commenced Work.
The dredge Caucus commenced
dredging September Is, 1905. and at
the close of the present fiscal year
had removed a total of 1,467, 1888 cubic
yards of material This work has re-
stored the channel to its original d.
mensions and widened Is about 125
feet, and removed the shooting due
to the storm of September, 1906, so
that on June 80, 1908. the minimum
width of channel having a depth of
not less than 80 feet at mean low wa
ter was approximately 275 feet
From Octobeg 6, 1906. TO January

ployed by the navy department on sal
wage work at the Pensacola pavy-yard,
resulting from the storm of Septem-
Ter 1921, 1906, and upon completion
of this service she was laid UP at the
navy yard for repairs. Due to Grip
pled facilities and lack OF; labor at
the yard, these repairs We're greatly
delayed, and dredging was not resum-
ed until May IL, 1907, when the eau
Gus commenced work with one pump,
pending completion of repairs TO boil
ers. These repairs were completed
and work resumed with both pumps on
July %, 1907, since which time work
has been continuous, except for de-
lays due to bad weather and repairs.
These repairs include docking at Mo-
bile, Ala, installing new propeller
and one new furnace.
The maximum draft that could be
carried over the Improvement at
mean low water on June so, 1908, was
90 feet, and the ordinary range of
the tide is about IL feet.
Commerce of Port Large.
The commerce of the port is very
large. For the fiscal YEAR ending
June so, 1903, the foreign exports
were reported as $I3 ,741, $40, no rec
ord of the coastwise exports being
available; in 1904. as S15,s93, 456; in
1905. exports as s15.295.067. and i'm
ports as s9S5,S40; in 1906. exports as
SIS, 432 1871, and imports as 1887 ,377;
in 1907, exports as s2O,229, Ala, and inn
ports as S6lS.S63; in 1908, exports as
s20.322, $40. and imports as s675.503.
The completion of the project will
give greatly increased facilities to
the large commerce of Pensa cola, but
will not materially affect freight rates.
1t is proposed to apply the appro-
priatioE recommended in dredging
operations toward completion of the
project and maintenance of the pro-
ject depth.

Nursing the National Banks.

It is seldom that an admission OF
the close connection OF the Roosevelt
administration and the frenzied Imam
ciers is made officially, although 1t is
well known that such exists. In his
opening speech to the jury in the case
of the government against Banker
Walsh of Chicago, United States At
torney Dorbyns said: ut is the policy
of the government to nurse a bank
found to be in trouble, even to con-
ceal crime until its affairs can be
straightened out" How much Banker
Walsh paid to the Roosevelt campaign
fund for ~concealing the crime he was
charged with has not yet come to
light, but like the corrupt insurance
contributions, it may yet be divulged.
The inspection of national banks
would seem to be III in the interest
of the Republican party instead OF
for the protection of the people.

that event male nurses would be need.
ed at sea and the hospitals would have
to call in women.

MUCH interesting information In re-
I1 gard to the navy Is found in the
recent annual report of Surgeon-Gen-
eral Rixey.
With an average strength, including
the marine corps, of about 4 1900, both
afoat and ashore, the total number of
deaths in the navy for the year was
241: a ratio of 5.66 to the thousand.
1t is natural that a picked class Of
men under constant surveillance
should make a better record than the
heterogeneous population of a city, but
even SO the contrast between a rate of
6.66 in the navy and a rate Of from
10 to IS. or even higher, in the cities
is a good showing for the former.
OF the 241 deaths only 144 were from
disease. The remaining 81 were from
injury, including poisons.
The largest number of deaths from
any one cause was 81 from drowning.
