The explanation, however. is simple.
For nearly three hundred years. siECe

OF the township of Hampstead. to which

RAILROADS REFUSE
TO BUILD IN face
Of RATE AGITATION

New York, June 9.-On account of
the necessary curtailment in OUTLAWS
for maintenance and equipment, the
railroads are threatened with freight
blockade even more serious than that
of 19061907.
For the year ended June 80, 1909,
the decrease in expenditures for
maintenance of way and structures
and maintenance of equipment, as
compared with the preceding year,
was $19,762,974. Since the beginning
of the present fiscal year the retrench-
ment has been pronounced, and the
recent move of the United States at
torney general has led to still fur
Their retrenchment orders. The in
evitable effect is to weaken the ca
pacity of the roads to handle the
great increase in traffic now in pro-
gress.
The railroads have been compelled
to cut the expenditures for new equip
ment, and the extent of this cut is
reflected in the slump in car and
locomotive building. In the United
States and Canada, 243,670 cars were
built in 1906 and 2S9,645 in 1907. In
the next year, 1908, the number fell
off to 1921, and last year, 1909, it
was 96,419. The number of locomo-
tives built declined from 6,952 in 1906
and 1852 in 1907, to 2,342 in 1908
and 1887 in 1909.
While the population is growing,
traffic will increase to a point even
above that of the blockade of 1867.
If full return to prosperity is to be
enjoyed, the equipment of the rail-
roads, on which prosperity depends,
must be kept up to the top notch of
efficiency.
The curtailment in expenditures
has been forced upon the railroads by
the great increase in all classes of
operating expenses and by the in
ability to Offset these by readjust-
ment of rates. The increases in ex-
penses already shown in reports do
not take account of the general ad-
vance in railroad wages, which has
been estimated by the president of
the New York Central at $100,000,000

Original DRY FARMER
WILL Be A DELEGATE

Spokane, Wash, June Especial
c. w. Hensel of Waterville, WASH,
II years of age, who has not suffered
a crop failure in the last twenty
years, will be delegate to the fifth
Dry Farming congress in Spokane,
also an exhibitor at the international
exposition, October to 8, entering
dry farmed products in the various
competitions, which are free and open
to the world.
Mr.. Hensel farmed in Minnesota
until 1886, when he located on a farm
at Waterville. While Campbell and
others were experimenting in soil cul-
ture theories in Nebraska and Col
orado, he determined to work out his
own salvation in the face of what
were then believed to be unsurmount-
able obstacles. By watching the re-
suits of various schemes of soil treat
1nent he discovered the secret Of dry
farming and gradually increased his
yields of wheat from 20 bushels to
40 bushels, and oats from 80 bushels
to 100 bushels.
His books also show that no farmer
in the west has produced more diver
sified crops under any system Of farm.
ing. Corn, generally not supposed to
be paying crop on dry lands, rivals
the best products of Illinois in quality
and quantity, and he claims, too, that
he has produced by dry farming meth
DDS every kind of fruit that can be
grown in this zone under irrigation.

GREAT INTEREST In

ter farming special baseball club and

sciences pertaining to soils, botany,
geology and allied interests. The
teachers today were Bolley on botany;
Willard on soils and geology and a
general running discussion on scienti-
fc matters of deeper and more tech.
nical nature than those delivered to
the general public.
So far but one incident or unpleas-
ant feature has occurred. Last even
ing Miss May McInnes, stenographer
to the superintendent, had her hand
caught by door slamming shut and
as result she is working under ser.
ious difficulties today, but no lass is
anticipated beyond a finger nail and
quite a little pain.
A very pleasant feature of the work
at Maddox today was the meeting
in the exercises with Hon. H. N.
Thomas, ex-secretary of agriculture
of North Dakota, under whose admin
istration the first appropriations were
made for farmers Institutes and to
whom so much credit is due as he is
considered in reality to be the father
OF institute work in the state of North
Dakota.
At Sheyenne the crowds were of the
nature as at all previous meetings,
The speakers in the hall were the
same as at Maddox.
Taking all in all this has been the
best day in the corse, as the corps of
workers are so much better organized
than the first day and the train SER
vice is much better understood.
There never has been so much in
terest aroused upon agricultural sub
jects before as now and every agricul-
tural colleg and railroad in the United
States is watching this move with
more than ordinary interest and what
the results may be are hard to esti-
mate, but surely the agricultural COL

SIMPSON COMING HOME;
insists Case GOING ON

Boston. June Estate Senator
Leslie A. Simpson OF North Dakota,
counsel for the petitioner, Daniel
Blake Russell, in the great will case,
which occupied over six months in
hearings before the Middlesex pro-
bate court, has left for his home in
Dickinson to arrange his court and
business affairs so that he can re-
turn to prosecute his appeal in the
supreme court.
He has entirely recovered from the
severe attack of grip which confined
him to the house for several weeks,
and declares that he feels perfectly
well, except that he has not quite re-
covered his strength, and the injury
to the optic nerve of his right eye
still troubles him slightly.
Mr.. Simpson says that he will re-
turn early in July, bringing Mrs.
Simpson with him, and set to work
at once to prepare his case for hear
ing.
His attention being called to a
rumor which has been current a few
days, that he would not return to
fight the case of his client, he de-
clared emphatically, Nothing will
keep me away but death. If I am
alive, you may be sure that Judge U.
L. Sheldon and I will be in court on
the day the case is assigned as that
the sun will rise.
EVERY story that I will not ap-
pear has been made up by the other
side, which has been predicting all
sorts of things ever since the. case
was opened in the probate court last
