Washington, Nov. 3O.-In reply to
the offer of several Western railroads
to employ him at his own salary If
he could show them, as he said he
could, how American railroads could
save $1,000,00 a day, Louis d. Bran.

Western railroad presidents how such
saving could be effected.

shipping organizations in the freight

mission.
Charles C. Mccain of New York
city, chairman of the Trunk Line as
ISOLATION, was examined before the
commission regarding the publication
by the association of a pamphlet en-
titled "The Diminished Purchasing
Power of Railroad Earnings"
He said he had distributed 23,509
copies of this book e. a cost Of SS,003.
The purpose of the pamphlet, he said,
was to assert a need for REIMBURSEMENT
and increase of rates.
Railroad Industry Threatened.
1t declared that there had been
'since 1897 a great reduction in rail-
way freight rates, which has gone so
far as to endanger the maintenance
of the present level of railway wages
and to threaten the stability of the
whole railway industry and all allied
industries"
Il. e. Williamson Of Cincinnati,
freight commissioner for the CONNER
,cial organizations of that city, was
recalled and examined regarding the
figures he had studied and analysed
concerning the Erie and other, rail-
roads.
He had severely criticised the Erie
for decentralization and the exam
ination by counsel for the road was
to bring out that the situation OF the
road Was far different than that in
the years past which the witness had
dwelt upon.
He said the Erie was handicapped
with a fixed charge per mile of $3.50
more than the Baltimore and Ohio
and the latter had a surplus from the
present level of rates.

Lincoln's Odd Appearance.

Lincoln's favorite outer garb as he
sailed forth In winter for his Office
was an ancient gray shawl. He took
particular pains never to have his hat
brushed or his shoes blacked. His
carpetbag threatened at the seams to
disgorge its burden Of legal docu-
ments. His green cotton umbrella had
no handle to speak of. and inside was
the legend. "A. Lincoln" the letters
cut out of white muslin and sewed to
the faded cloth. Altogether he looked
like the advance agent Of a Denman
Thompson show. In 1856 a pair of
spectacles cost him 37h cents.
The Office was in character with the
notorious Indifference to appearances
Of the senior partner Of the firm. Once
a young law student attempted TO
blaze a trail through the accumulated
rubbish and found that some seeds
given by a congressman had taken root
and sprouted in the dirt.

.lincoln's Cabinet.


Lincoln hated to dictate. He shrank
from assuming to control the members
Of his cabinet until forced by circum-
stances to take upon himself the re-
sponsibility. His natural preference
was to work with rather than to lead
men. He could not bear to humble
any fellow being, however low his
rank. But he found as emergencies
arose that some one must rule and
that as president he alone was re-
sponsible to the people. His courage
never permitted him to shirk a duty,
and thus little by little his power was
modestly put forth.
When the members of Lincoln's cab
met first met probably no one among
them suspected that their counsels
would be ruled by the man who sat
at the head Of the table. None Of
them knew him. and most of them
felt they were the superiors Of the un-
tried and unframed president. They
had all been chosen by him for polit-
ical or party reasons Four had been
his competitors for the nomination at

The nUN1LEY PROJECT
LOT SALE ON APRIL

The opening for sale of town lots in
the town of Pompey's Pillar, on the
Huntley irrigation project, Montana,
beginning April 7th. marks an epoch
in the evolution of the Yellowstone
Valley. Pompey's Pillar is one of..the
best identified and known of the fea-
lures described by Lewis and Clarke
in their famous transcontinetal expe-
d,tion. Captain William Clarke etched
his name on one side of the pillar and
it has been preserved during the century
that has elapsed since these two brave
explorers discovered the country and
described it.
The pillar is of sandstone formation
and has a diameter of about two
hundred feet and a height of approxi-
mately IS feet. In order to preserve
the name of Captain Clarke an iron
grating has been placed across the face
of the cliff at the point where the name
appears. and has been anchored into the
solid rock. which will preserve for
years the handiwork of this remarkable
man.
The necessity for the sale of these
additional lots is indicative of the
attractiveness of the Huntley project
and of the opportunities for merchan-
dising in connection Herewith. At the
same time that the Pompey Pillars lots
are opened for sale the second in
stallment of town lots at the Huntley
town site will also be placed on sale,
the majority of the first lots having
been already taken up.
Over 10, 900 fruit trees have already
been set out by the settlers on this
project. The state of Montana has. at
the request of the Reclamation service
arranged to operate and maintain q
sub-experiment station on the Huntley
project in cooperation with the Agri-
cultura. department, and will feature
apples and small fruits, it having al
ready been demonstrated that the
Yellowstone Valley is well adapted to
apple growing.
The towns n surrounded by forty
acre farms, which insures a compact
rural community, and there are unusual
opening for business and professional
men and artisans.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany has recently completed a fine
station at Huntley and one at Worden,
and the Burlington road has completed
q station at Ballantine.
