A Dry Farm Competition.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 8.-The
wager OF Col. E. J. Bell. the Laramie
sheepman and dry farmer, that he
a raise bushels of oats per
acre on his Laramie plains ranch
than can be raised on any similar
acreage in the world, will be taken up
by a syndicate of Alberta, Canada, tar.
mers, who believe their section will
eclipse anything produced anywhere
in the world in the breakfast food
line.
Colonel Bell has deposited a Ger.
tilted check for $40, 900, as an evidence
of good faith, and is prepared to
~''sweeten'' this bet to any extent the
Canadians may wish. 1t is expected
that the test will be made the present
season, the work of preparing the
ground, both on the Laramie plains
and in the Alberta section represented
by the farmers who have accepted
Bells def, will be commenced as soon
Is arrangements are completed. All
that Bell will require is proof that
the oats produced are from one acre
one crop-or from 10 or Is, or ever
100 acres, as may be agreed upon in
the wager.
The productiveness OF the soil of the
Laramie plains is most prolific, and
Colonel Bell has been known to raise
better than 137 busheles OF fine oats to
the acre and this under unfavorable
climatic conditions. With perfec,
weather Bell says there is no limit to
what q be raised on his place.

John Sharp Williams, for years mi.

rest two years before coming to the
senate, he did not take with him any
mementoes of the esteem in which his
fellow members held him.
1t was not the members fault, how.

at a fancy price to paint a portrait OF
the noted Mississippi statesman, but
the product "a so disappointing none
had the heart to present it.

mented Mr.. Williams as he looked at
the portrait, 'but they could not have
done worse If they had been painting

RAILROAD WINS SUIT,
Missouri Rate Law Decided By Court
To Be Invalid.

To Be Invalid.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Mar. S.-A not.
able decision in favor of the railroads
was handed down today by Judge Nc.
Pherson, of the United States distric,
court, In the two cent fare and maxi.
mum freight rate cases, involving
eighteen Missouri lines. The rail.
roads commended that the rates fixed
by the statutes of the state we're not
remunerative but c~onfscatory, and
that the enforcement of the statutes be
enjotned. The state brought proceed.
ings to have them enforced.
1.-THE question:" said Judge Nc.
Pherson in his decision, sis whether
the traffic wholly within the state OF
Missouri generally referred to in the
evidence as local traffic, can be carried
under the freight rate statute of 1907
and the passenger fare statute of 1907
at such profit as will give a reason.
able return after paying expenses up
on the investment, or whether such
traffic is carried at a loss or less than
such reasonable profits. The
court has reached the conclusion that
upon this question the statutory rates
fixed by either and both statutes are
not remunerative."
The maximum freight laws as passed
by the legislature involved reductions
ranging from two per cent to forty per
cent on heavy freight in carload lots.
The railways secure a court order
temporarily restraining the state
officials from putting this act into
effect and on June 18th, 1907, Frank
Hagerman, representing various rail-
roads. petitioned the court to make
this order permanent. BY mutual
agreement and at the suggestion of
Judge Mcpherson, who desired to
have a practical test, the two.cent
passenger rate law was put into effect
on June IL, 1907, to run three months.
AT the end of that period both sides
agreed to continue the rate in effect as
the results obtained had not been con-
sidered sufficient and the law ia still
being enforced.
After may delays the cases we're
finally brought 20 trial before Judge
MCPHERSON. Both sides presented a
long array of figures to uphold their
claims.

WHAT ARE THE NEW LAWS?

The eleventh legislative assembly
enacted 210 bills into laws and with
the exception of the few the governor
has or will veto they will become a
part OF the statutes of the state. These
new laws affect almost every interest
and individual, and yet how many
will ever know, unless they happen to
be hailed into court, or the enactment
Is OF personal moment, what the leg
islature has actually done? The as.
sembly adopted and legalized the re-
vised codes, and there were probably
made by the assembly a hundred
amendments to these codes, which
have been off the press but a few
months. 1t will in all probability be
several months before the enactments
OF the eleventh assembly will be print
ed and in the meantime lawyers and
everyone interested will be cropping in
the dark as to what the law is in many
cases. 1t is true some have copies of
the bills, but there is no surety as to
how these printed ones have been
amended and changed.
There has been an effort at several
several sessions of the legislature to
have the laws printed in the news
papers after they are approved, under
the direction OF the secretary of state,
says the Helena Record. At the ses-
sion just closed the subject was not
brought up, but it vas inI the tenth
and also in the ninth, but in both the
proposition was turned down. For
some inexplicable reason theIwise men
who opposed the publication in news.
papers got the idea that the plan was
that of the newspapers, who wanted
the job to do the publishing. The
newspapers of the state have been
aware Of this feeling on the part of
some exceedingly narrow people. and
this year during the session not a
paper suggested the desirability of
publishing the laws in the papers.
But now that the session ia over The
Record, In response to requests from
lawyers and others, refers to the SUBJ
ject in the hope that at the next ses-
sion the system will be adopted.
In many states the newspaper publ
cation is required. In New York
every law enacted by the assembly ID
published in two papers in each coun.
ty, those of different political faith
being selected. The requirement is
that the laws be printed ten days after
they are approved by the governor.
Other states have similar require
ments, and in the old territorial days
Montana newspapers made similar
public atoms.
The cost would not be excessive and
the newspaper publication would be
worth the money. 1t would be news
} and the papers would moi charge more
than enough to pay for the work.
Put to popular vote, The Record
ventures the opinion that the PROPOSE.
ton for the publication OF new laws
as outlined would be endorsed by 9(
per cent. of the voters Of the state.
