RAILROAD

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 13.-T.
B. Walker today admitted that he
had bought land in northern Cali
fornia to gain control of Fredonia
pass. Walker, however. denied
that he was buying the land either
for Hill or the Hartman inter
ests.
II bought for T. B. Walker"
was his only comment.
Walker mas been spoken of as
a Hill man, and his extensive
purchases Of land in the north
ern part of the state gave rise
to some rumors that he was pur-
chasing a right of way for the Hill
lines, which is now fighting the
Hartman interests for the De-
schutes river canyon right OF
way.

out on the trail as the wife of an
explorer only two years; Mrs.
Peary had been out "a years. But

There was a mental telepathy

bay. Mrs. Peary could look out
across the bay, from her island
home, to the boarding house
where Mrs. Cook was spending

ence exerted by them. Irrespective Of

When the tariff is under discus

law is passed. Under the plan pro
posed by the National Association Of |
Manufacturers a permanent tariff COM I
mission Of seven men will be contin-

OF all the industries affected by any
proposed tariff change. As but a small
part OF the whole industries of the
country could at any time be affected,
business could never be disturbed by
tariff revision as it is at present. The
suggestion is sane and wise and should
receive the support Of protectionists,
