but a short time until the road would
be i'll first class shape and when once
graveled it can be maintained at very
slight expense or many years to come.
An occasional load of gravel to fill
up the small depressions will keep it
in fine condition effecting a great saw
ing in road work each season. The
saving i'll time and expense of hauling
products to creamery and market will
give great returns on the actual cost
of the roads, saying nothing of the
pleasure and satisfaction of being able
to use them at all seasons of the year
sit is to be regretted that there is
disposition on the part of any one
to look upon this question of good
roads with Indifference. 1t is one of
the most important things that farming
communities have before them and it
is to be hoped that the splendid work
now being done on the roads men
toned will be followed on all of the
roads and that the work will be kept
up year after year until all roads are
grayeled.'

CattIemen Now in Convention Are
Discussing the Tariff.
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASES
Will Consider the Service Given BY
Railroads; Number of Matters
To Be Talked Over.
Especial TO The Free Press.1

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 26.-Cat-
tlemen from all over the country had
enrolled their names on the roster of
delegates when the twelfth annual con-
vention of the American National Live
Stock association was called to order
in Los Angeles today.
Among the questions to be discussed
are federal control of the grazing on
unappropriated public lands in the
semi-arid states and territorities; the
administration of forest reserves by
the federal government; further con
sideration of service given by rail
roads to shipment of stock, especially
the furnishing of cars and the speed
minimum; correction of unreasonable
railroad rates and the tariff. Con-
corning the latter, the call says:
Some revision of the tariff will un-
doubtedly be attempted by the next
congress and already certain manu-
featuring interests are clamoring for
reduction in the duties on hides, wool
and livestock. In all previous tariff
legislation, the manufacturing inter
ests, by reason of intelligent organi-
cation and persistent efforts, have been
able to secure many favors to which
they were not Justly entitled, and, as
consequence, our meat food pro-
ducts are barred from many European
countries. In past years this assoc,
alton has favored such reciprocal trade
agreements as would permit the ad-
mission of our meat products to those
countries, and now is the time while
the tariff is under consideration to
secure such favorable legislation The
special committee, representing the de-
partments of agriculture, commerce and
labor and the treasury which went to
Europe for the purpose or ascertainne
commercial conditions abroad relative
to an increased sale of our farm and
livestock products, has returned, and
their very elaborate report will be
presented for consideration at OF meet
ing"
Attention will also be given by the
convention to the attempts on the
part of the department of agriculture
and private organizations to stamp
out the foot and mouth disease which
has recently caused heavy losses to
cattle raisers and sheep and swine
growers in eastern and northern states.
1t is feared that if the epidemic should
spread to the western and southwest
ern states, the centers of the live stock
industry, it would be practically i'm
possible to put an end to it's ravages
and the live stock industry in the
united States would be utterly de-
strOyed

CREAMERY CASES DECISION
Interstate Commerce Com mission
Issues Its Order.

Washington, Jan. 26.-What is APP
proXimately the death-kn of many
of the local and cooperative creameries
of the northwest and middle west was
sounded yesterday by the interstate
commerce commission in the decision
on the now famous creamery cases,
while the decision proceeds upon the
basis that equal rates should be given
both the "centralizer" buttermakers and
to the local creameries.
The effect of the decision will proba
bly, be to render Improbable and prac-
tically ruin scores if not hundreds of
creameries throughout Minnesota, Wis
consin, Iowa, Nebraska and otner ives
tern states.
The dairy and creamery associations
of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa, rep
resenting hundreds of localities in the
three states, were represented by at
torneys in the cases, as interveners
who had great interests at stake.
Even the department of agriculture
took a hand, to urge that the local
creamery should be fostered and pro-
tected. in the interest of the producer
and the public.
The specific point at issue involved
an increase made by the railroads on
cream shipped to Chicago, some points
as far west as Colorado, as far north
as Minnesota, and as far east as Port
Huron, Mich.

WILL NOT MOVE TO ST. PAUL
Headquarters of Great Western 10
Remain at Redwing.

Redwing, Jan. 26.-Charles T. Banks,
division superintendent of the Chicago
Great Western road syesterday stated
that all rumors to the effect that the
w. M. & p and n. w. divisions of
the Great Western will consolidate and
that the division headquarters will be
removed from Redwing to st. Paul are
without any foundation.
On Feb. /, the organization of the
Great Western road will be changed.
At present the division superintendent
has charge of the maintenance of way
and the mechanical department of the
division The division engineer. master
mechanic and all employees of the me-
chanical department now report direct
to the superintendent office.
According to the rules to be estab-
lished Feb. l, the mechanical depart
ment, which includes roundhouse men,
car repairers and those employed at the
coal chutes, will report to the master
mechanic as is now the custom, but the
office of master mechanic will report to
the superintendent of motive power at
Oelwein instead of to the division
superintendent. This change relieves the
division superintendent of a part of his
burden and gives him greater oppor-
tunities to take care of the mainte-
nance of way and operation of freight
and passenger ervice. This change no
doubt will result in an improvement
in the motive power of the Great Yves
tern road.

Railroad Valuation As Submitted
BY the State Board.
COST TO REPRODUCE LINES
Value Of Terminals in Large Cities,
Difference in Figures Produced
BY Rival Corporations.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
st. Paul, Jan. ga difference of
$47 100000 between the cost of re-
producing the railroads of Minnesota,
as figured by him, and as the rail
ed, is shown in the report of Dwight
c.. Morgan, expert, who has been at
work on the physical valuation for
three years, and whose work was lai1
upon the desks of members of the leg
stature yesterday afternoon.
In round figures Mr.. Morgan says
it would cost $35OOOO,0OO to repro
duce the 10000 odd miles of railroad
in Minnesota, while the railroads claim
the figures should be given at $780,
100000 or close thereto.
The Terminal Valuation
The differences in the figures are
due principally to the values claimed
by the roads for city terminals, and
the difference of reconciling the fig
ures is made clear by Mr. Morgan
citing the values given by rival roads
on parallel properties at Fridley, where
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific run side by side over land APP
parently of equal value. The n. Z.
put it in at 5000 an acre; the Great
Northern at $4,000 When it comes
to the business centers of st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth, the rest Of
the $5O,OOOOOO difference is accounted
for. Mr.. Morgan presents a detailed
account of his plan for arriving at
city values, and expresses his faith
in the fairness of his figures.
The Differences.
As a further illustration of the i'm
possibility of yielding completely to
the contentious of the railroad ac-
countants, he cites the following:
Steel rails free on board st. Paul
and Duluth, figured by one road at
500 ton; another $3l 80.
Bridge steel, one road 21a cents 4
pound; another 4 cents.
Locomotives, same class, one road,
Ga cents pound; another 1924 cents.
Engineering, superintendent, and
legal expenses, one road, " per
cent; another 10.

the secretary, and Mr.. Gregory, the
publicity agent, to proceed with negoti-
ations for the fair of next fall. The
chief topic of discussion was the great
need for new grandstand and the APP
preparation which the legislature has
been asked to provide for that purpose
Members of the board who had dis
cussed this question with members of
the legislature said they believed the
appropriation would be allowed, al
though they had found some opposition
to the bill because of the cost of the
proposed improvement.
The plan of Reed and Stem, st. Paul
architects, for Identification of the fair
grounds was discussed, but no action
was taken upon it at this meeting.
