IN THE TWIN CITIES.

President Taft will today be the
guest of the Twin cities: st. Paul and
Minneapolis win make the presidential
visit Fourth-of-July OCCASION, and
thousands of the loyal sons and daugh-
tiers OF the great state of Minnesota
will pay their tribute OF respect to the
nations chief magistrate, Minneapolis
win have the president I'm the morn
Ing and no Will be In st. Paul In the
afternoon: the evening win be given
up to IL banquet I'm Minneapolis. at
which President Northrup of the Uni
sycrsity of Minnesota will preside
Thus Minneapolis scores ono on her
rival sister city. but the demonstration
in the presidents honor will have no
local tinge: IL will be statewide In its
scope, and will be the most enthusiast
tic display ever made at the head OF
the Mississippi. The sickness of Gov
;ernor johnson Is the only disappoint-
ment In connection with the Taft visit
to the state As there IL no political
line drawn in the reception of the
president, SO there liz no factionalism
In the hope that Minnesota's governor
will be soon restored TO health.

TO FEED RODENTS
COSTS MUCH MONEY

In an illustrated article on the rat
pest i'm its October number. Popular
Mechanics makes the following inter
estsng statement:
The brown rat Is practically omniy-
orous, Its bill of fare includes seeds
and grains of all kinds: flour, meal,
and food products made from them;
fruits and garden vegetables. mush-
rooms. bark of growing trees. bulbs.
roots. stems, leaves and flowers of
herhaceous plants. eggs. chicks. duck
hngs, young pigeons, young rabbits.
milk, butter, cheese, fresh meat. car
zion, mice, fish. frogs and mussels.
This great variety of food explains the
ease With which rats adapt themselves
to almost any environment.
Experiments show that the average
quantity of grain consumed by a full
grown rat is fully two ounces IA day,
and haif-grown rat eats about as
much rs an adult. Fed on grain. "A rat
eats a To 80 pounds Il year, worth
about 90 cents III wheat. or 81 so ii oat-
meat. Fed on beefsteak worth -
cents a pound. or on chicks or SQUADS
with much higher prospective value,
the cost OF maintaining rat is pro-
porti"natels increased Granted that
mere than half the food of rats is
waste. the average cost of keeping one
rat Is sttll upwards of - cents Il year.
III an accurate census of the rats of
the United States were possible. a rea-
snnable correct calculation at the mini
mum cost Of feeding them could he
made from the above data If fha
hummer al rats supported by the peo-
pie throughout the United States were
no more than equal IL the number of
domestic animals on the farms
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs-the
minimum cost of feeding them would
he upwards of stao. 1000, 200 IL year. To
some s'uSa enormous total every
farmer and every householder who has
rats upon his premises, contributes 4

SEVEN YEARS AGO.

September Is. 1902. Commander Peary
arrived ut sydney. Nova Scotia, on
his return from the Arctic. He was
received with all the enthusiasm
which his years of devotion TO expiora-
tlon In the north entitled him. the
world acclaimed him as a great saien-
tist and a man worthy Of the aamira-
ton Of his countrsmen. Mark now the
difference. peary is returning. sue
cessfui. to the same port from another
quest of the pole: there In no doubt
that he reached the imag inary point
at the end Of the earth. But there
will be less enthusiasm, except what
il manufactured. in the reception
which the explorer gets from this
country and from the world For this
change in sentiment Peary himself il
alone responsible, His conduct toward
DIR. Cook has stamped him as the
yeriest snob. and the world has few
species upon its surface 50 generally
despised as "a snoh. As We have, upon
other occasions remarked. IL may be
that DR.. Cook il taking: but IL has
been very bad form for Peary to talk
az he has concerning his rival. Each

HUGE SUM IS SPENT
FOR SPEED
BURLINGTON SYSTEM PAYS OUT
HALF MILLION TO REDUCE
SCHEDULE TIME.

Chicago. Sept. 11.-Mystery concern
ing the enormous expenditures of the
Burlington system, which now prove
to be nearly $4,000. 600, all along its
main line from Chicago through flli-
nois. Iowa Nebraska and Colorado t.
Denver, has been cleared away by
official announcement that It's fast
train service to Denver viii be made
still faster September II. with the
schedule time cut To - hours for the
1904 miles. This new record in the
west is but one step in cutting the
time from Chicago to the Pacific coast
cities by 10 hours.
For several years the Burlington has
been at Titan tasks all along its main
line Of grade cutting. track straight
ening and bridge building and
Strengthening. New reinforced concrete
bridges in many places have displacc
serviccable structures Of steel, curves
were eliminated seemingly without re-
gard To cost. and telegraph facilities
were increased on a scale that has ere
ated wild conjecture. Now Ii is known
that many millions also have been ex-
pended for train equipment. Accord
ing to official figures the exnendi
lures have been In round figures As
follows:
For track improvements, So 900, 900:
for new equipment, $4,000. 900: for
bridges tnew and strengthening old.
-. 500, 600: additional telegraph facili-
ties. s4s1. 00O.
Now IL appears that all these We're
precautionary measures to Insure the
same train safety as during the last
fiscal year under slower schedules.
during which year 100000 passen-
gers we're carried without a fatality.
The Burlington's two flyers. No. / and
No. 8. which will be put on the fast
schedule, win be run under the novel
safeguard which has been employed
81 successfully for two years on these
trains that they have made the re-
markable record of arriving promptly
on time at terminals during 355 days.
The speed recorders have prevcnte
reckless running by enabling engineers
to maintain II uniform maximum speed
throughout their runs.
The new speed rivalry among west
ern railways, of which the Buriing-
tons preparations and new Denver
time are a forerunner, promises To-
rerolutionize fast passenger train
schedules on all lines. with the roads
which are best prepared In the lead
Already the Burlington. the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific
have made overtures to the postofficc
department looking to mail-train
schedules to Pacific coast cities that
will mean a new era i'm western rail-
road operation.
Train schedules were heightened In
June. 1907. by all lines because the
traffic continually In transit was the
heaviest on all roads that was ever
handled i'm the United States. and.
moreover. some of the lines We're carry
