The reports from rne agrI-
cultural districts and from the indus
tries and merchants dependent upon
farmers show business with them
to have been but slightly disturbed
while every industry which looks to
the railroads for patronage has suf-
fered severely.
The farmer has come into his own
in the last ten years. For long
time the vast area of cheap lands
open to settlement, and the rapid
increase in farm acreage, held the
remuneration of the farmer down
to bare wages for unremitting toll.
But in recent years the worlds pop
ulation has gained upon food pro-
duction, the most available lands are
occupied, and the new supplies are
grown at higher cost. AS result,
the farmer who is the fortunate pos
SCISSOR of land in the Mississippi val
ley, or any other rich and eligible
location, now has handsome mar
gin of profit. This is true not only
of the grower of food products, but
of the producers of wool and cotton,
and the advantages to the country
is particularly noticeable IN the case
of the cotton-grower because so large
share of the crop is sold abroad.
The farming class constitutes the
largest single class, industrially, in
the country. There has been no cur
tailment as yet of its income, and
hence, no reason why its purchases
should be reduced, and with crop
prospects and prices what they are
now, this promises to be so for at
least another year to come.
On the other hand, next to the
agricultural interest the railway in
terest, in point of receipts and dis
bursements, and the number of fami-
lies directly and Indirectly depend
ent upon it, is the most important
interest in the country. The history
OF the country will show that the
years Of general prosperity, when
labor was fully empoyed, when trade
touched high-water mark, and when
new records were made in every line
of business, were the years when
railway construction was the most ac-
| tive. If the prosperity Of the last ten
years could be closely analysed, and
the purchases Of iron and steel, and
cement, and timber products, and
other supplies for railways could be
calculated and their disbursements
to labor upon improvements and ex.
tensions could be known, and theil
expenditures for cars and locomotives

Mr.. Gronna has been particularly
insistent on appropriations from con-
gress for river improvements, for
the military post and for the Indian
school, and it Is largely through his
efforts that the first appropriation
for the maintenance of the latter was
passed. The splendid endorsement
given him in the primaries is an In

A rare cOlOred engraving entitled
''The Bloody Massacre Perpetrated In
King Street. Boston. on March ., ITO.
by a Party OF the Twenty-ninth Regi-
ment." from the hand of the famous
Paul Revere. is in the possession Of a
local member Of the Connecticut Val

engraving are scarce, only a few being
known to collectors and the Massa-
chusetts Historical society and the
Pocumtuck Valley Historical associa-
ton being among the few holders.
The engraving shows view down
King street toward the old statehouse
and a file Of soldiers firing upon a
crowd Of citizens, several of whom are
stretched out in death. The buildings
are we'll drawn, but the figures Of
soldiers and citizens are crudely done,
the legs and faces being fearfully and
wonderfully executed. At a sale in
Boston in April. 1901, a copy Of this
engraving was sold at auction for $500.

answered. Every railroad man must
own a perfect watch. 1t must not vary
in its time a quarter Of a second
week. Each day the time is sent over
the railroad lines. And each railroad,
like the Santa Fe. has an official called
the watch tester whose business is to
do nothing but test watches. So i'm
portant is his position that this official
is paid by the Santa Fe railroad $4,000

ARIZONA LAW BAD.
Makes a Mighty Bad impression In the
 Far East.

The following article from the Douglas International-American in regard to the corporation laws of Arizona will undoubtedly be of in- terest to our readers and will be heartily endorsed by all who be lieve in good laws and their en- forcement.
 Arizona is receiving just criti-. cism in many of the best publica- tions of the country because of the laws governing interpretations in this territory. It is a fact that thousands of fake corporations have been formed in Arizona for the ex- ploitation of the public and with out one dollar jf tangible assets. Be it said to the credit of Arizona that few such companies have been incorporated by people living here, but they come from every state of the union and from those who would not be permitted to form such an organization at home, The latest paper to give attention and severe criticism to Arizona's in- corporation law is Golfers. from which we take the following ano fully endorse it:

Postal Savings Bank Bill

Washington, Dec. S.-Great
pressure is being brought upon
senators and representatives in
favor of the passage of a postal
savings bank bill. The most pres
sure comes from the Mississippi
valley, where public opinion favors
the measure strong. Senator AL
drich and other leaders of the sen
ate have decided that the bill can
not pass this season and probably
they will have their way. The
plan is to hold up the postal bank
bill until comprehensive financial
plan is ready for consideration by
congress. This plan does not suit
the western progressive Republi-
cans, who take the view held by
Taft that the party, having pledged
itself to the postal bank plan,
should carry out the pledge.
