Work on this has been particularly delayed by the rains, but it is expect ed that from this time forward little difficulty will be experienced along this line. Although there are about 150,000 cubic yards of excava- tion. It is proposed to compete the enterprise by January 1, if possible. The proposition is one of the largest of it's kind ever undertaken in this section, although it is to be followed by still more extensive drainage un- dertaking on this side of the river, when the problem of draining Fourche Bayou is taken up. It is understood that this latter proposition will get attention without any great delay.

South Will Be Affected.

Washington.-"We will surely be here until August 1, and probably un- til September 1,' said Senator Clay of Georgia Monday respecting the ses- sion. T observe" he said, that the committee has placed a tariff on hides and also on cotton bagging and cot ton ties. We of the South are not so much concerned about the duty on hides, but New England need not think she can tax our people on ties and bagging without hearing from us. So far we have remained very quiet in the present contest, but unless I am much mistaken the Democratic senators will be heard from from this time on. The duty on bagging alone will cost our people at least $5,000,000 year, and we will not submit without protest"

Packing Companies Settle Suits
 Brought by State.

Brought by State.
 Little Rock.-All of the suits brought by the state of Arkansas against the Hammond Packing Com pany and other big packing compa- nies of the United States under the antitrust law, were compromised Mon day for S25,000, as the result of a conference between Attorney General Hal l.. Norwood and Prosecuting At torney Roy D. Campbell, who repre- sented the state, and Rose, fleming way, Cantrell & Loughborough, attor- neys for the defendants in the suits. Shortly after the conference, the mon- ey was paid over to the state and placed to the credit of the common school fund. The suits involved, it has been estimated, hundreds of thou sands of dollars, and at first glance the compromise of S25,000 appears small as compared with the possible fines, but the argument was advanced that the state was fortunate to secure anything, as to have carried out the suits would have resulted in extended litigation, with possibly no cash re- suits. Attorney General Norwood stated that as far as he knows the S25,000 is the largest cash amount that has ever been secured as the re- suit of suit by either the United States or any state from packing company. During the Roosevelt ad- ministration," he said, Congress ap- propriated something like S500,000 to prosecute the packing companies, but those companies have never yet been brought to trial. The Missouri Su- preme Court has fined the packing companies something like S20,000, but I do not know whether the state has ever got the money from the com panies. So far as my knowledge goes this amount of $25,000 is the largest that has ever been secured in actual cold cash from any packing company"

The Wallace, Idaho. Press COM
ments upon the significant fact that
all Of the still hunt candidates
for nomination of governor in OPP
position to Governor Brady live in
the northern part of the state. and
suggests in the same paragraph that
seat in the Brady band wagon
seems to be more desirable than an
avowed declaration Of intention. In
the latter we heartily agree with the
Press.
If southern idaho has any fav-
orite sons who desire political pre-
ferment and are suffering for
chance to display their ability in
public office, we have no objection
to their doing so at the proper
time. We do believe, however. that
it is not a good plan to harass a
public official who has hardly had
time to acquaint himself with the
broad scope of his duty with rumors
of dark horse candidates for his
job. and compel him to patch up his
political fences at the expense of the
performance Of his service to the
state
Governor Brady may have made
mistakes Most people do. Proba-
bly, he erred in not laying down on
the pledges Of his party, but his
record so far has been one Of very
hard work. careful study Of the
questions presented to him, and
strict attention to duty, regardless
of the demands of would-be politi-
clans who have mistaken smiling.

A COMPETENT OFFICIAL.

Some Of the Democratic brethren
of the state seem to be exercising
themselves this early over the selec-
ton Of a Republican candidate for
governor against Governor Brady,
and the opposition to the present in
cubent appears to have extended to
some of the newspapers within the
confines Of Republican strongholds.
If this opposition comes from
those who do not sanction the
course Of the governor in attempt
ing to discharge the duties Of his
Office according to the principles Of
his party, then he should welcome
it. There is no question but that his
action in unfolding some of the laws
passed by the last legislature has
aroused determined opposition, but
upon reflection it must be admitted
that he was elected upon a platform
which promised certain legislation,
which has since been enacted into
law. and that opposition in all prob
ability made itself felt in the results
of the last election.
The consistency and fairness of
his position in reference to the local
option question, when compared to
election. is the cause of favorable
comment, even among those who are
directly interested in the liquor
business
The frmness and carefulness with
which he has presided over the diff
ferent boards, which form the ma
chinery Of state. and especially the
the land board, is commendable, and
the governor is daily gaining ground
with those people who believe in
having man in the governors chair
who has no axes to grind. and big

dacy Of Chairman Brady for COVER.

VIGOROUS OLD AGE
 FOR STREET GAR - MAGNATE

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., November r.. Peter A. B. Widener, street railway magnate, philanthropist and patron of the arts, celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday anniversary today. The health of the noted finaucier is reported now to be better than for several years past. He has found it advisable, however. to relinquish the active management of many of the great financial enterprises with which he was associated. and is spending his declining years in travel and in the enjoyment of the magnificent collection of art treasures that he has gathered about him in his palatial home at OgontZ.
 Mir. Widener's wealth has been var iously estimated at from $75.000.000 to Sl50,0 100000. Born in Philadelphia in 1884, he received only a public school education. His parents were poor and after leaving school young Widener be- gan earning his living as a mutton butcher in the old Spring Garden street market. 1t was in that way he earned ms HTSI thousand uOlldrS ana JnlS ne added to many times over before he gave up the butcher business.
 It may be said to MT. Widener 's.cred- it that he has never been ashamed of the fact that he started his career as a butcher. He was past-grand-mas' ter in that trade, as he afterward proved himself in many other lines of business and finance. And that he re- members we'll how to do what he has once done is Illustrated by the follow ing story:
 Some years ago Mir. Widener was in California travelling in his private ear. He thought he would himself attend to the restoring of the larder and going to market, ordered some French chops. The butcher was clumsy and the mil lionaire remarked it. That nettled the meat-man and he said:
 Perhaps you could do it better your self ' ...... v.
 "I should say I could," exclaimed the man in silk hat, boiled shirt and white waisteoat and taking the knife from the astonished butcher, he soon had the chops neatly dressed.
