By K. r. FHonlmedieu

Few automobilists realize the prorni-
nent part that California plays IN the
American motor world. From the latest
statistics compiled IN the east it is seen
that California stands sixth in the list
OF 2s states that require registration.
and although the registration law has
been IN effect a much shorter time IN
California than the other six. It holds
third place for total registration The six
leading states have a total registration
Of 1890 motors with a valuation Of
between S5o,0o0.o0o and $40. coo, GOO. The
increase has been steady and there are
tully one-thfrd more cars owned now
than there were a year ago. The fef-
lowing table shows the standing Of the

Irish Standard: That staunch re.
publican mouthpiece, the Pioneer
Press, honestly tells IT'S readers that
the present duty OF Is cent a bushel on
wheat is of no earthly benefit to the
northwestern farmers. It further says
that when Aldrich increased the duty
to 30 cents a bushel his idea was to
make the farmers believe they were
getting increased protection, but as a
matter of fact the increase on wheat is
absolutely useless. It then quotes
Congressman Gronna of North Dakota,
to the effect that the difference in
the price Of wheat in this country and
Canada. the year around, is about
8 1-2 cents a bushel, and that wheat
is selling for more today at Georgian
bay points than 1t is in Chicago.
That being the case. no duty is needed
for the protection or benefit of the
farmers Of this country. The price of
wheat in Liverpool fixes the price
here, IN Canada and other exporting
countries. "

that the end had come at 1880, more
than two hours previous. Whether
this apparent discrepancy has any
bearing on the current belief that
every effort was made to lessen the
influence of the f1nancier's death on
the New York stock market is profile
NAUTICAL. But it is significant that the
time of his death as officially an
nounced was just thirty-flve minutes
after trading had ceased on the ex.

Il Was Conscious Until the End.
Mr.: Hartman died peacefully and
to the end his brilliant mind retained
its integrity. After relapse on Sun
day he sank slowly and soon after
noon Thursday there came a relapse
which marked the approach of the
end.
The great achievement of Mr.. Harri.
mans career as f1nancier and rail
road manager was the rehabilitation
Of the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cf1c railway systems. Mr.. Hartman
undertook this herculean task when
he was nearly fifty years old and after
he had once practically retired from
business. Other financiers had failed
signally to put these properties on
paying basis, but Mr.. Hartman, fol-
lowing the reorganization of the Tn
ion Pacific in 1897, began systematic
plan to place the properties in the
best possible condition for their main
tenance at a high standard of eff.
cheney. 1t was his policy to keep his
railroads in the best workable condi-
ton, confident that sooner or later the
question of dividends would take care
of itself. To the task he had under
taken Mr.. Hartman gave unflagging
industry and it was his constant work
that brought on the final breakdown
in his health Stomach trouble devel
oped more than year ago and med
zeal treatment gave no relief. This
summer he went to Europe to consult
Tie greatest specialists there, but he
we no. SeaeaHse. O. his return -
this country he went at once to his
magnificent country home at Arden,
where death occurred.
Mr. Hartman was sixty-one years
Of age.
