The Cass Lake Times charges US
with having filled the Pioneers
local columns with items taken from
the Times. We demand a jury
trial. The Cass Lake paper also
criticizes our editorial policy but as
the Times has criticized the United
States of America, the department
of the interior, Governor Eberhart,
the attorney general of Minnesota,
the city of Bemidji, agents, citizens
and soldiers, the Pioneer will try to
struggle along under the disgrace,
grasping at the hope that perhaps
even the Times, of Fire Department
and Civil war fame, sometimes makes
a mistake.

Of life, magic and astrology.
In all ages men of undoubted ability
have toiled early and late to unravel
the mysteries supposed to be connect

is not always remembered that such
intellectual giants as Bacon. Sir Rob-

Of astrology Lilly was for a time even

scribe a uniform system of accounts.
Readily Compiled.
Regulation by governmental COM
mission was a new feature in the
United States. and it should be record
ed to the credit of American railways
that instead of antagonizing the legisla-
ton regarding uniform accounting they
formed the Association of American
Railway Accounting Offices in 1888
with offices representing 1900 miles of
railway and convened in the spring of
that year to consider form of annual
report to be made to the national gov
eminent, and the act of 1887 was made
effective by the friendly cooperation
of the railways, for its provisions could
not be enforced on account of the in
adequacy of the money appropriated.
This cooperation between the rail-
ways and the government still con-
tinues, and, while naturally the views
of the government and railway officers
have sometimes differed, great work
has been accomplished which could not
have been effected in any other way,
i. e.. that of evolving a uniform CLASH
fication of accounts SO far as 1t is pos
sible to obtain one This was one easy
task for a country with competitive
railway systems widely differing in
geographical location, in the standard
of their development, and in the char
acter of the through and local traffic
and their several interests, and 1T de-
manded wide experience, mature judy
ment and additional expense to reach
sound. broad-minded conclusions.
No Absolute Uniformity.
This act performed good service, but
it did not produce absolute uniformity
in accounting or statistics. 1t gaze
time for ample reflection, the develop
ment of uniform account headings, ana
the test of experience, and so paved the
wav for the practice of uniform ac-
counting, but after nearly twenty
years it was natural in this active
young country that its provisions
should be modified and the powers OF
the interstate commerce commission
extended. This was accomplished by
the passage Of the act Of 1906, known
as the Hepburn act, which was design
ed to regulate more important public
questions than uniform accounting,
but the provisions regarding the latter
were materially broadened, and, coup
led with heavy penalties for nonob-
seryance, which caused little surprise.

public discussion as the concludlng

Government Oficial, on Way to Gar
den City. Has Praise.

Kansas City, Mo-. July 1S.-"Pros-
poets are favorable to a good deal of
additional development in western
Kansas said S. Fortier of Washing
ton, d. c., chief of irrigation investiga-
ton of the department of agriculture,
at the Coates house this morning.
Fortier was on his way to Garden City,
to visit the government irrigation
agency there. He came here from
Ames. Iowa, where he made a number
of talks at the state college at that
place.
Fortier believes that the next ten
years will show wonderful advance
ment in western Kansas as a result of
associated effort of localities in the
establishment of small pumping plants.
He says that the highest development
has been obtained in California from
small irrigation plants. which get
water by pumping or the storing of
storm waters in reservoirs. He be-
Heves that western Kansas can take up
the idea and get splendid results.
In some instances in California only
a few farmers are associated. The
government aids these smaller projects
only to the extent of giving advice to
the settlers as to how water can be
best applied, and general counsel re-
garding irrigation matters, which is
supplied by bulletins issued by the de-
partment.

PRIZE OF $4,000.
For Aeroplane Flight Between New
York and st. Louis.

New York. July 1S-The official
conditions governing the proposed
aeroplane fight between New York
and st. Louis have been made public
They follow:
The New York World and ST. Louis
Post Dispatch will give $4,000 to the
first aviator who. between August Is,
1910, and January 1. 1911. flies from
New York to ST Louis or from St.
Louis to New York within 100 consec-
utive hours. using the same aeroplane
from start to finish.
1.-The only condition attached to this
offer is that at least three days notice
of intention to start for this prize must
be given to either the New York World
or the ST. Louis Post Dispatch in order
that announcement may be made of
the actual starting and finishing points,
the actual route and other details as
agreed upon
The distance between the two cities
is 900 miles as the crow flies and 1,O48
miles as the mails go. The average
fast train time Is 20 hours and the
average train speed is SO miles an
hour. The best average speed for sus-
tanned fight in an aeroplane is 54 4-5
miles an hour. On account Of the con-
figuration of the land, it is unlikely
that any aviator will attempt to lay
out his route in a straight line. The
actual distance he will fly. therefore,
remains guess work and will only be
determined by his performance itself.
The conditions above leave the avia-
tor free to choose his own starting
point and to make his landings for
fuel, repairs and rest whenever he
wishes, or as necessity dictates.
The donors of the prizes say they
wish to allow the widest latitude in
the Interpretation of the clause. 1.-The
same aeroplane from start to finish -
That is. such important repairs as the
installation of a new propeller. a new
engine cylinder. new struts or new
brace guys may be made without i'm
pairing the defined identity of the ma
chine.
Given 100 hours in which to cover
an estimated 1000 miles. the aviator
would have to fly only little more
than 200 miles a day for little less
than five days. If he eQualed the speed
of Curtiss between New York and AL
bany this would mean two hours in
the morning and two hours in the aft
ernoon. with as long an intermission
as desired for resting and tuning up
| the engine.

TAFT TO HELP IN MAINE.
President Will Make Three Speeches
During Cruise.

Beverly, Mass, July 1S.-President
Taft has stated with striking emphasis
the position he is taking with regard
to Republican state platforms and can
didates. The president does not think
he should be called upon to write the
party declarations in the different COM
nonwealths or to name men for any OF
the elective offices.
A president, it was intimated, has a
pretty big job on his hands when he
undertakes to fulfill all the pledges in
the national platform and to bring
congress around to the same way of
thinking.
AS to planks in state platforms en-
dorsing the administration, the presi-
dent feels unless they can be written
upon what he has said and done since
taking office, nothing he could add in
a personal way would help matters out
The Ohio conferences the last three
DAYS have served to bring out the pres
ident's attitude. He was informed of
the general tenor of the platform to be
adopted at the Columbus convention
the latter part of this month, but he
did not - into the details of planks.
Under no circumstances, the president
let it be known, would he express an
opinion as to candidates.
The fight this fall in Ohio, it is gen.
orally acknowledged, will be hard one,
but Mr.. Taft feels that a convention
made up of l, 300 delegates can be trust
own way. Mr.. Taft has been told that
none of three avowed candidates, Carmi
Thompson, Warren G. Harding and o.
B. Brown, has majority of the votes
This has led to the opinion that COM
promise candidate must be found.
The friends of James R. Garfield are
hopeful that the delegates may turn to
him, but the state leaders who are
friendly to the administration and who
will write a strong Endorsement of Mr..
Taft and all of his acts in the plat
form, declare that Mr.. Garfield can
not be nominated. The only other can
didate who is much talked of is Repre-
sentative Nicholas Longworth. 1t is
said. however, that Mr.. Longworth
much prefers to remain in congress
and it will take a great amount of
pressure to get him into the state fight.
The president has consented TO make
three speeches in Maine-Eastport,
Bangor and notwithstanding his ten
days cruise in the northern waters.
The Maine elections are held Septem-
Der II.
Mr.. Taft will speak at PASSPORT to-
morrow, at Bangor on Saturday and at
Rockland on Tuesday the 18th.
There was an amusing incident in
Beverly Sunday morning. AS the pres
ident was about to enter the First Par
ish Unitarian church, Giuseppe Deven-
cenzo, recently naturalized, became ex
cited over seeing the president and set
off a firecracker. There was some ex-
citement among the watchers near
Giuseppe but the man was not mo-
Tested.

WILL ENLARGE MACHINE SHOPS
Missouri Pacific to Double Size of
| Kansas City Plant.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 1S.-Accord-
ing to an announcement made by local
Missouri Pacific officials. the plans for
the addition to the company's machine
shops in the East Bottoms have been
completed and the work will be COM
menced within a few days. Applica-
ton was made for a code at the Office
of the superintendent of buildings.
The railroad company will spend
$25O,000 for this improvement, which
will nearly double the size and capac-
ity of this institution. The present
quarters are inadequate for the local
needs of the road. which, notwith-
standing the recent strike. has been
crowded to its full capacity. The COM
pany reports no trouble here in con-
nection with the recent orders for open
shops over the entire system.

he can recall. In one fire the mail car
and everything in it were burned, but
the mail clerk. At another time the
car broke in two like a match, and he
escaped without injury.
Twenty years ago last winter the
mail car he was in was discovered on
fire while the train was in heavy
snowstorm near Kinsley. Kansas. The
train was run into a cut and every
one turned out and fought the fire
with snow, putting it out. In the
meantime, the snow had banked in
front of the engine. and when the fire
was out it was found the train was
stalled, and they remained in the cut
"a hours. On two occasions Norton
was snowbound in western Kansas
eight days at a time, and he has been
in foods and washouts.
