NO CUT IN R4ILS-GARY.
Z. S. Steel to Maintain Price at S28,
He SGgs. for Present.

Ex-Judge Ebert H Gary, chairman Of the
board Of the United States Steel Corporation.
declared ernphaticalIy last night at the Waldorf
Astoria that the trust would make no cut at
present in the price of steel rails which has
ruled at s2S a ton for the last eight years This
announcement sets at rest the conflicting rumors
which have been in circulation since the report
Of an open market in the iron and steel trade.
The price Of steel rails" said ex-Judge Gary,
will not be reduced by the United States Steel
Corporation at present I see no reason for
such action. We should not make cut unless
forced to do so by the independents, and do
not expect such outcome. l do not see what
they would gain by a reduction in the price of
rails"
This statement Of ex-Judge Gary tends to cor
roborate the report that the five largest manu-
facturers of steel reils-the United States Steel
Corporation, the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
the Lackawanna Steel Company. the Cambria
Steel Company and the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany-had formed an agreement not to sell un-
der SIS a ton These five companies control 90
per cent Of the steel rail output
Ex-Judge Gary refused TO discuss the posi-
bility of cut in wages q result of the sweep
ing cuts in the prices Of all lines of steel prod
ucts, following the open market policy adopted
by the trust; would he comment the
report of the Senate subcommittee which
questioned the legality of the acquisition of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company by the Steel
Trust after the panic of 1907.

Pittsburg, Feb. 21.-The Carnegie Steel Com
pany on Saturday, taking advantage of the cut
n prices and on orders from New York offices
TO get all business possible, took in enough
ders at cut keep its mills running for six
months The exact tonnage has not been made
public. It is known that to underseI the indie
pendents rates were in some cases very low.
One St Louis firm took ten thousand tons of
merchant steel bars at S24, which is 81 below
the price maintained for some time Another
big order came from Buffalo.
These orders booked by the Carnegie Steel
Company yesterday said to have almost
equalled those for the entire year of 1905. The
plans adopted by the steel corporation in going
after business the same as adopted by An
drew Carnegie in 1897, and the independents.
seeing this, are said to be much alarmed not
having forgotten the outcome of Mr.. Carnegie's
policy at that time.
The Jones & Laughlin Steel Company, Linn
tied, to-day announced that a contract for
stripping down iron ore in their Mesaba
range TO the extent of five million tons had been
made, This ore will be brought down TO the
lakes and shipped as early in the season as pos
sible.

An Organized Plan to
Welcome Homeseekers.

AS published in yesterdays Journal
the management Of the Tri-County
Fair expect a large number of home
seekers to be. present in Pensacola the
present week. This should be glad
news to the people of the city; its
significance, indeed, should extend
throughout West Florida.
There can be no two opinions about
the importance of securing settlers
and any movement offering hope for
such a consummation should be hailed
with delight. 1t is impossible to
think of any other thing that would
so largely aid the upbuilding of the
Deep Water City as an extensive,
thrifty and wellto-do population on its
surrounding farm lands. This is also
true with respect to the rural section,
whose present people would be bene-
flied by every new arrival.
Admitting the truth of this, no eff
fort should be spared to open the eyes
of visiting homeseekers most fully to
the advantages of this section. Upon
the impression they will receive will
depend their decision. And that i'm
preston is bound to be a good one if
proper means are adopted for their
enlightenment.
The Journal believes there should be
! an organized plan for the reception
and treatment of these people. 1t is
the duty of our commercial bodies to
originate and carry out such plan.
It is not enough to present to our
visitors the opportunity of seeing the
fair, no matter how attractive that
may. prove. They should have atten-
ton shown them. They should be
made. through personal contact with
our people, to understand that they
would be gladly welcomed as perma-
nent settlers and given every encour-
agement and advantage should they
come to dwell among us.
And they will need to have ex-
planned to them the soil possibilities
of Eseambia and neighboring counties.
The mere sight of products. however
impressive that may prove, is not
sufficient lesson These strangers
from a less congenial cline should be
brought together and spoken to by
men acquainted with the agricultural
possibilities of the section-should be
made to understand that no portion
of the United States offers them a life
of greater. comfort, of sweeter bounty
and more certain success in the accre
ton of wealth.
There are able speakers in Pensa
cola and nearby whose advice would
serve to clarity the vision OF these
visitors. would be a powerful help Il

buzzards to eat. The farmer loses
enough every year from insects to pay
his fertilizer bill and that is big
item.
have saved as much as twenty five
or thirty dollars on less than an acre
of cabbage by protecting the birds.
Game birds, cartridges, larks and
black birds, they are the ones that
will save the farmers thousands OF
dollars if they have the proper pro
lection.
What we need is a law prohibiting
anyone from hunting within a mile Of
a house without written permission
from the owner or person living on
the place. That would give the birds
some chance of being useful to the
farmers
Even if a man doesn't allow hunting
on his place. they come around so
close banging away all day long that
a bird is afraid to try to swallow a
worm for fear some one will shoot
about the time he gets it halfway
down and scare him so bad he Will
choke TO death.
Some may say / am selfish and
want all the birds myself. No, / do
not want all the birds myself, but l do
want them to have better protection
that they may multiply until there are
enough of them to destroy the mil
lions Of worms and insects that each
year destroy thousands of dollars
worth of fruit and vegetables.
Then outside of the question of the
benefit that the birds are any man
that has any love for nature likes to
have them around his place. This
little old world Of ours, with all the
birds taken out, would be just about
as pleasant a place as your city would
be if all the women folk were away.
Now, Mr.. Editor, / would like to see
every farmer and every other person
interested in better crops, more fruit
and better fruit and better condition
all around for the farmer.
Take this question up and see if We
can't get a law passed that will give
the birds a chance to be of real
benefit to the country and city, be-
cause what benefits the country bene-
fits the city also,

The business men of Pensacola have

interests of farming that will be a
great benefit to farmers and they de-
serve the thanks of every farmer in
Escambia county. OF course the
farmers won't be the only ones to be

men.
Success of the farmer means more
business for the city, because nearly
every dollar a farmer makes is spent
with some merchant doing business
in the city.
