STEAMBOAT A RATE LEVELER.

Commenting on the value of con
constant reminder to railroads that
there is limit to the upward revision
of freight rates, the Telegram Of
DeadWood makes use of an illustra-
ton of the case Of an upper Missouri
river town as follows:
"The people of LeBeau finding the
rate upon lumber from Bismarck to
that point practically prohibitive
have arranged to have the Scotty
Philip steamboat transport lumber
down the river from Bismarck at less
than one-half the rate. This is prac-
tical navigation of the river. The
moment LeBeau starts upon this en-
terprise you may depend upon it the
railroads will meet the rate. In the
case at LeBeau it would appear the
Milwaukee would lay down lumber
at Mobrikge as cheay at the Northern
Pacific can at Bismarck. We have
long believed the secret of the adyan-
tage of navigation of western rivers
lies in being prepared to navigate at
any time. The railroads can and will
meet the river rate whenever it is
made but merchants must be prepar-
pared to navigate before they can get
the rate.-Y ankton Press and Dako-

/. MEMORIAL DAY DAY IN PIERRE

With tears in their eyes which
could not be forced back the veterans
of the war stood about the soldiers
graves in the cemetery Monday morn
ing and paid their annual tribute to
their fallen comrades.
While the exercises throughout
were extremely impressive, it was at
the conclusion of the ceremonies
when the bugle call of "taps" echoed
plaintively from the distant that the
battle SCARED veterans were forced
to show their emotions, SO seductive
were the notes, bringing wildly to
mind the nights in camp spent on
southern battlefields.
1t is with deep reverence that the
citizenship of this country pays its
homage to the memory of the soldiers
dead, and men who survived the war
and have since passed to their home
above. Decoration Day has taken on
deeper significance to the American
people than it had some years ago,
due to the more appreciation that is
felt for what the soldiers of '61-'65
did for the people Of the present day
1t is very little indeed that the Ameri-
can people can do in giving one day
to the memory of the war heroes.
The Grap3 Army of the Republic
was organized in Decatur, H., in the
interests of the surviving representa-
tives of the federal, military and
naval forces of the civil war, the
families of those dead and such Oh
jects as they should deem impor tant
to their association. The member
ship comprises soldiers and sailors
of the war. Its purposes are frater-
nifty, the commemoration of events
and the assistance Of old soldiers and
their families. 1t has been active in
establishing homes and memorials
and in educating and supporting the
orphans of soldiers.
Col Deets of Minneapolis delivered
the main address, and it was original
and the most fitting ever heard in
this city.
Company B. participated in the
exercises and presented a fine ap-
pearance.
The band discoursed much which
cheered the heart of everyone in the
audience.

A new question on the rights of
homesteader on the public land has
arisen in Gregory county. A Mr..
Walker took up quarter Of a section
OF land two years ago and established
his residence thereon. Later he pur-
chased an adjoining farm and chang
ed his residence to the new purchase
but continued tofarm his homestead
claim as before. Now comes a party
named Burgess and files contest on
Mr.. Walker on the ground of aband-
onment of his homestead as shown by
his removal to his purchased farm.
Walker is greatly surprised and in
dignant at the turn of affairs but no
doubt he has awakened general inter
est as it raises some new questions
regarding the rights of homesteaders.

Senator leaders have called the t.
tention of the President to the danger
Of the government accommodating too
large surplus In event of an income
clause being attached to the pending
tariff bill. 1t is asserted that ii such
q clause were added the entire tariff
bills. 1t is asserted that if such a
clause were added the entire tariff
bill would have to be revised, as it
would yield approximately $40, 900, 900
annually, and this sum, with the
revenue from import duties, would
cause the government to accumulate
q surplus so rapidly as to tie up the
money in circulation. The proposed
tax, is now appears, instead of being
bad plan is too much Of a good
thing. What next?

The spectators who want to send
the price OF wheat up farther are pre-
dieting failure in the crop of 1909.
Some of them are sending out harrow
ing tales from the wheat belt. The

in divergence of this sort the people

Drinking Cups Of the Ancients. E
!, Silver cups made BY such famous
workmen as Myron, Myos and Mentor
were preferred to- gold cups. They
We're very beautifully engraved and Of
workmanship which has never been
seQualed. When gold cups were enrich
ed with precious stones they some
times became peers Of the engraved
silver vessels. OF all sizes, shapes and
designs were these drinking cups, and
their value was measured more by
their form and design than the mate
rial Of which they were made. Some
had two handles, some only one and
some none at all. They were large and
small, low. and tall, narrow and OBJ
long. They were purely the product Of
the varying fancy Of that prodigious
age, which seemed to scorn uniform
Eity. The early Greeks and Romans
drank hot water from cups, as we now
drink coffee and tea, these beverages
being unknown to them. Coffee origt-
mated with the Assyrians, and tea was
first used by the Chinese at a very
early age.-National Food Magazine. =:

they can easily make use Of these bub-
