than they have made in ten years in handling strictly stock cattle. "
 To the stockmen who have roughed 1t for years on the ranges of the west and made success of stock raising despite bad years and hard work, this sort of stuff sent out by force of neat, fine young men. is boyish and ludicrous in the extreme. A boy with a COW in the back yard might be expected to talk in this strain to men who might do as the stockmen of the west are doing patronize the boy to see what he would do next.
 All this article was written by a dint of hard brain work by some young man that in all probability would have difficulty in telling a goat from a sheep. and for the pur- pose of adding a good word for the Forest Service down in the middle of it in few lines.
 It is indeed sad state of affairs when the great government of the United States is compelled to hire paid writers to protect d given di- vision of the government and to send out many thousands of letters ov r the country to convince the people that the errors they have been making are for the good of the people. '
 There would be great saving in the postoffiee department if the postmaster general would put a fraud order on this kind of stuff, aside from the salaries paid bright young men for making thelr brains think it up.
 All the information so far re- ceived by the grazing experts " has been donated to them by the stockmen of the west, and the re- hash the stockmen get back in this form is far from news to them.

AGAINST PAYNE BILL.
Ultimate Consumers League Do Not
Like the Measure.

Chicago, April Further protests
against the Payne bill were made at a
meeting of the Ultimate Consumers
Tariff league. In an address the
league says:
MIR. Payne, author of the tariff bill
says that the ultimate consumer
makes no objection to the proposed
tax on coffee and tea and other house
hold necessities. The ultimate con-
sumers tariff league is organized for
the purpose of demonstrating the
fallacy of this contention and putting
consumers on record in every prac-
ticable manner as being unalterably
opposed to the imposition of any tax
whatsoever on coffee and tea and other
household necessities, and for the
further purpose of devising and put
ting into effect every legitimate means
of preventing such calamity.
This is not a local move, but will
be extended throughout the United
States. 1t means much to every con-
sumner and more to every dealer"

TO HOLD EXPORT TRADE.
Western Millers Demand an Amend
ment to Payne Tariff Bill.

Washington, April Ito remedy
the objections which they make to the
extended drawback privileges of the
Payne tariff bill the Republican repre-
sentatives from the wheat growing
states of the west have submitted to
the ways and means committee an
amendment in the nature of an addi-
tional provision to the drawback sec
ton of the new bill.
Their principal contention was that
the new provision would result in the
manufacture of -four for export at the
cities along the Atlantic Seaboard in
stead of al the western mills, as is the
custom now. In order that the western
manufacturers may retain the export
trade it Is proposed that any article
manufactured of grain raised in the
United States in order to obtain the
drawback when exported in lieu of i'm
ported grain, must be manufactured in
the same mill or factory as the article
manufactured from the imported
grain.
The proposed amendment also re-
quires that the expectation shall be
made within the fiscal year in which

Chicago, April IA farm society
that shall be active in politics and

affairs of the nation is declared to be
the great need in the United States
by Norval D. Kemp of Dayton, Ohio,
former secretary of Roosevelt's farm
life commission in a communication
to the Chicago Association of Com

Mr. Kemp pictures country life as
a neighborhood community a few
years ago, and declares it has been
much disturbed by manufacturing
progress.
From this community life" he
says, came the men and women of
the United States and they were
strong and outstanding.
"City life has not replaced on the
farms the community life that center
ed in them, the cuttings and the
husking bees and the barn raisings.
There is no longer any such thing as
true rural society founded on the
life and work of the country and en-
bodying high, constructive and realiz-
able ideals.

conscious ON the Deck of the Tug
Sent to Their Rescue.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Twenty-three men
lost their lives today in a fire which
. destroyed the intermediate crib, one
and half miles from the shore in
Lake Michigan. Forty-seven, suffer-
ing from burns, cuts or immersion in
the icy waters into which they jumped
to save their lives, were rescued. This
statement of the casualties was made
by George w. Jackson. whose firm. was
constructing the intake tunnel under
the lake and Of which the crib served
as a base of operations.
The dead are supposed to be i'm
prisoned in the tunnel under the crib.
The deaths might have come either
from fire, smoke, an explosion of the
dynamite stored there or by shutting
of of the air pipes. In the tunnel the
men worked under air pressure. Lit
tie hope was expressed that any of
them escaped, although this can not be
known until the wreckage blocking
the entrance to the bore Is removed.
The fire tugs extinguished the flames
and an attempt to enter the tunnel
was begun. The crib is a temporary
structure erected in the construction
of the new three-mile tunnel into. the
lake for the ultimate purpose of adding
to Chicago's water supply.

seemed to him an interminable trip,

turning from the ruined structure
this afternoon brought ray of hope
in their expressed belief that If any

was declared to be unimpaired and
