PAYNE BILL A LAW
Congress Passes Measure and
Promptly Adjourns.
FINAL VOTE IN THE SENATE
Seven Republicans Repudiate
Conference Report.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The tariff has
been revised and the extraordinary
session of congress has been brought
to a close Both houses adjourned
sine die oficially.
The conference report on the bill
was agreed to by the senate by a
vote of ~ to 81, when the vote was
taken. and soon afterwards the con
current resolution making certain
changes in the leather schedule was
adopted by both houses. On the final
vote on the conference report in the
senate seven senators lined up with
the Democrats against approval. They
were Bristow (Kan), Clapp and Mel
son tMinn.), Cunlmins and Dolliver
(Is), La Toilette (Wis) and Beyer-
idge Qnd.).
Following closely upon this action
the senate adopted Mr.. Aldricb's con
current resolution providing for a re-
duction Of the duties on various
manufactures of leather to meet the
views of Western senator's who had
been defeated In their efforts TO OBJ
tain protection for hides.
Senator McCumbsr's resolution pro
viding additional rebate regulations
for the bill. amended at the instance
OF Senator McLaurin to include a pro
vision for free cotton bsgging, was
adopted without division.
Final Hours in the House.
With its members nearly exhausted
from the heat and the arduous labors
of the past four months. the house OF
representatives devoted the last day
Of the special session to perfecting the
tariff bill and transacting a mass of
routine business. Speaker Cannon an
his committee appointments,
and they were received with varying
degrees Of satisfaction.
The concurrent resolution amending
the leather schedule of the tariff bill
was adopted without dissenting vote
after 1t had been discussed for little
over half an hour. No such good
luck, however, befell the McCumber-
McLaurin resolution revising the
drawback provision and replacing cot
ton bagging on the free list. which had
previously been adopted by the SEN
ate. On the claim Of Chairman Payne
that ii was not in order Ii was con-
signed to the committee on ways and
means.
II was but a few minutes before 5
o'clock when Mr.. Payne's resolution
fixing p. m as the hour for adjourn
ment sine die was adopted.

FEW FACTS:
POrtable-The necessity for portable granary
lies largely in being able to it easily required
to points convenient for threshng. The ordinary
granary built of wood with capacity of 725 bushels
weighs 10000 pounds.
Contrast this with the weight of our sheet metal
granary which with platform skids does weigh
over 1925 pounds Don't you think this is advantage?
Strongly test it is proven that curving
gated sheet iron increases its bending strength twenty
nine times This alone ought to make it twenty nine
times better than any other granary.
Durabie-Experience has proven that the life of
galvanized steel much longer than any other material
that could be used for this purpose.
Wind Proof-Our tank is just as rigid when empty
if built of wood.
Vermin Proof-No danger whatever from field
mice or other rodents.
CheapTo build granary of wood of the
capacity and strength will cost more than double the
price we are asking for ours.

capacity of from 1876 to O35 bushels of from
