shippers May Combine Freishts.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to decis-
Ion Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission Monday shippers may COM
bine small quantities of freight of va
rious ownership, either by arrange
ment among themselves or through the
medium of a forwarding agency, and
ship the combined lot at the rela-
lively lower rates applicable to large
shipments.
The commission decided in favor of
the small shippers upon the ground
that the ownership Of property ten
dered for shipment cannot be made a
test as to the applicability as to car
riers' rates. The interstate commerce
law forbids discrimination between
shippers, and the fact that one ship
per tenders "bulked shipment" made
up of property of various ownership
consolidated bsfore delivery to the
carrier will not justify the carrier in
making different charge than for a
shipment of similar character ten
dered by shipper who is also the
owner.

KEEP AT WORK
on STATE ROAD
coNvlcTs WILL CONTINUE CON.
sTHucTioN OF LINE SOUTH
OF TRINIDAD.
TRANSFER OF FUNDS
PORTION OF PRISON FUND WILL
BE USED TO SUPPORT
LABoRERs.

Denvery-With the view OF permit
rian work to proceed with as little
hindranco ss possible, Acting Governor
Harper and Attorney-General Dickson
have evolved plan by which the nine
ty convicts who have been employed
on the state road now under construc-
ton from the New Mexico line to Trim
idad. will continue work for some time,
probably until the meeting Of the next
Legislature.
For the purpose of beginning the
construction of the Colorado portion
Of the national highway, which is to
run from the Yellowstone park through
Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico
to Galveston, the last Legislature ap-
propriated $4,000. Convicts were to
be employed in the actual work, the
money to be used for the expenses of
securing grading outfits and maintain
ing the convict camp, with the neces-
sary guards.
1t required $1,000 of the money to
initiate the work. With the remainder
the convicts have constructed three
miles of the road, through very
rough portion of the line. They are
yet twelve miles from Trinidad.
So successful has been the employ
ment of convict labor that the Trini-
dad citizens, together with the author
tiles OF the different counties through
which the road is to run, last week Pc
titioned Acting Governor Harper to
issue emergency warrants to the
amount OF $4,000. which would allow
the road to be completed to Trinidad
and keep the convicts at work.
The governor and the attorney-gen-
eral took the matter under considera-
ton. They reached decision Mon
day that there was no authority by
which they could issue the warrants,
as an emergency did not exist within
the meaning of the law. AS they were
desirous of taking some action from a
humanitarian standpoint, 1t was de-
cided that by transfer of funds from
the regular maintenance appropria-
tion of the prison to the road fund,
the work could be continued for some
months.
Under the plan adopted for the con-
struction of the road, every item of
expense has been met out of the ap-
preparation of $4,000. The conclusion
has been reached that the prisoners
are no less the legitimate objects of
prison expense in the road camp than
they would be If confined in their cells
at Canon City, That is, that they
should be maintained out of the main
tenance fund of the prison, and not
out Of the road appropriation.
The road fund will now be reim-
bursed from the prison fund to the
extent of more than $4,000. and from
now on the prisoners will be kept by
Warden Cleghorn the same as though
they were under his direct supervision.
This will give enough money to meet
the other expenses of constructing the
road for some time.
When the next Legislature meets,
efforts will be made to secure another
and larger appropriation for the
work.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, July 27.
Cattle prices declined sharply here
early last week, but later good deal
of this loss was recovered, leaving the
market but 10 to 20 cents lower at
the close than week ago. Declines
at eastern points and the fact that
packers have a good deal OF beef on
hand on which they are likely to lose
money was responsible for the decline
here. Good North Park steers sold at
$3.50 and s4.s5, with most of the good
steers offered bringing $4.00 to s4.15-
A feature of the week was the arrival
OF the first strictly grass cattle OF the
season. A bunch of the Carey Bros
steers from Routt county sold at S4.35,
the Temple steers from same territory
brought $420; Shaw steers sold at
S425 and Dunston Bros. steers brought
$4.00 to 1920. These were all from
the Williams Fork country. Hulett &
Terrence straight grass steers from
Rifle sold at $4.15 and the VIM wilson
steers from same section brought $3.50
to $40. Cows sold up to $3.75. with
bulk Of good ones at $3.1G to $3.50.
>
brought $3.50 and western slope grass
cows went at $3.15 to $3.45- Bulls
sold at $500 to $3.50. steady to firm,
and veals at $3.50 to $3.50, about
steady. Feeder and stocker trade
light and prices about the same as
week ago. Demand as yet is light as
buyers are waiting for more definite
information In regard to the corn crop
Late advices from the corn belt are
that corn is coming on nicely and pres
ent indications point to good strong
demand for feeding steers later in the
season.
Hog receipts were light and demand
good. Prices range from s6.40 to
$645.
Sheep trade very good at steady
prices. Spring lambs brought $3.50

OLD FIRM FORCED TO MOVE
Joseph r. Bills Removes to Masonic
Temple BuiIding-New Store,
Strictly Up-tO-DRte, Modern
in Every Particular.

IN Every PARTICULAR
Joseph f. Biz removes to 204 North 10th
street on account of expiration of lease
in schlltz hotel building. Mr.. Biz has
been in business In Omaha for twenty
five years, the last fifteen years of which
time he has been located at 1922 South
18th street. The business for the past eight
years has been managed by his two sons,
Mr.. Biz having retired at that time. The
store is one of the substantial business
houses of Omaha, and has long since pop
ularized itself by strictly honest and
straight forward business methods.
In addition to a large line of dry goods,
notions, anu gents furnishings, the store
has always been headquarters for yarns
and knit goods, the latter being the pro-
duct OF a factory operated in connection
with the store.
As Mr.. Biz has decided to turn the
business. over entirely 70 his two sons.
the firm name has recently been changed
to Joseph F.. Biz Sons. The new store
is a great improvement over the old, as
there iB much more room and the ad-
vantage Of sufficient light. The front
has been remodeled according to the New
York idea and it will pay anyone to make
a special trip to the store in order to in
spect the new front.
After it was decided that the firm would
change it's location, a closing-out sale
was held, and practically all of the old
goods on hand were disposed of. They
are not only in a new store now, but have
an entire new line of goods. The policy
which has distinguished the store in the
past will be strictly adhered to In the
future.
The formal opening was held on Septem-
Der 18th, at which time large crowds took
advantage of the opportunity to see the
new store and inspect the new goods.
A cordial invitation is extended to any
one who may desire to visit the store.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-07-08
Back to the People.


ssOur forefathers secured for the
colonies an opportunity to exercise tue
rights of self-government, and we are
now enjoying the fruits of their efforts.
A mon arch no longer menaces US, no
foreign foe threatens our indepen-
dence. But we have dangers to meet
which call for intelligence, courage
and patriotism. Privilege has usurped
the throne and its exactions are great
er than those formerly required to
support royal family; favoritism
asserts a divine right to rule and re-
SCENTS any interference with it's prero-
gatiyes. Our task is scarcely less inn
portant than that which confronted
our ancestors, for the despotism of
plutocracY may become as cruel as the
despotism OF king.
g Back to the people may well be
the motto of those who believe with
Lincoln that government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people
should not perish from the earth, and
with Jefferson that such a government
should be administered according to
the maxim, equal right to all and spe-
cial privileges to none. William J.
Bryan.

For this question the Rochester

answer. Adopting the language OF
Senator Burrows own party, as found
in the platform of 1896, it says: ssIn
the broad effect of its policy it has
precipitated panic, blighted industry
and trade with prolonged depression,
closed factories, reduced work and
wages, halted enterprise and crippled
American production. Every consi-
deration of public safety and individ-

of those who have shown themse Ives
incapable of conducting it without

BASE BALL NOTES.

New Ulm's ball players went to
Waseca Friday and on that day and
the day following played two fast and
interesting games. Waseca won the
first with score of to 0, but on the
second day, the Fourth, before an inn
mense crowd, New Ulm turned the
tables and won with a score of 4 to 2.
Mueller, for New Ulm. pitched al
most perfect ball in the first game,
allowing but three scratch hits; still
he was denied victory, for an error
at a critical moment and a hit by
Weller gave Waseca the deciding
score.
A feature of the game was the field
ing of Coach Seifert. Not only
did he field his position we'll, but he
also robbed Waseca of three hits by
throwing runners out at first. Rusty
Schneider, Bill Collins and Morris
Chapman also played fine ball. For
Waseca Bzoskie, the Sleepy Eye
Indian, was the star, relieving Davis
in the 6fth inning and practically saw
ing the game for the home team.
Weller, for the locals, did some spec
tacular work at second. The score in
detail follows:
