CHINAMEN COME IN BARRELS
Unique Method of International Syn

That there is an international syn

U. S. SLIPPED A SURPRISE
Railroads Were Not Prepared For
Injunction Against Rates.
Will Fight.

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Service in the in
junction suit of the government
against twenty-five railroads to re-
strain them from advancing freight
rates was obtained on officials of the
Missouri Pacific, Wabash and Frisco
systems.
The announcement last night that
the defendants proposed a vigorous
contest of the restraining order
granted by Judge David P. Dyer of
the United States circuit court at
Hannibal, Mo-, Tuesday, though not
unexpected, was taken in shipping
circles here to indicate that the gov
eminent had caught them mapping.
The action, coming as it did, was
a complete surprise, so much so that
officials here were unable to take
definite action. 1t was after extend
ed Geographic conferences yesterday
that the general conference of rail-
road counsel to be held in Chicago
tomorrow was agreed on.
From information obtainabIe this
morning the old freight rates are in
effect at all points on railroads hav-
ing general headquarters here. None
of the officials would permit himself
to be quoted on the question of rates
today.

EGGS HELD IN WAREHOUSES;
Four Hundred Millions Unmatched
Chicks Are in Cold Storage Wait
ing For Higher Prices.

NEW YORK.-Nearly twice as
many eggs are now in storage in the
warehouses of New York and vicin-
ity as there were year ago.
This is shown by the reports re-
ceived by the mercantile exchange
from % of the 80 united ware
houses.
The total quantity of eggs in these
warehouses was 1,119,000 cases,
each case containing 80 dozen. The
daily receipts are exceeding the con-
sumption by thousands of cases, so
that the supplies in storage will con-
tinue to pile up for some time, it is
expected
A year ago 5000 cases of eggs
were in storage in the same % ware
houses. The best of the storage eggs
from the west are selling at 81 u to
% 1a cents dozen in wholesale lots,
and eggs from this state and Penn
sylvania are quoted as high as rs
cents in the wholesale market. These
prices are from one to two cents
higher than last year.

WORLDS POPCORN CENTER
MILLIONS OF POUNDS RAISED
AROUND ODEBOLT, IOWA.

Shipped From the Town to Salts

fly Country's Popcorn Appetite.
1.-THE popcorn center of the world"
is the title claimed by the little town
of Odebolt, Iowa. There are 1900
Odebolitians, and every one of them
is convinced of the wisdom of keep
ing track of the worlds popcorn APP
petite. That 100000 pounds of
popcorn is raised within Is miles of
the town is the result of small be-
ginning made years ago by farmer
who rented 25 acres of land and set
it out in popcorn. He repeated this
two or three times before he was
convinced of the possibilities before
him. Then he got more land, and
all of it he put into popcorn. His
neighbors followed suit, and when
that happened he bought their crops
until, according to the Saturday
Evening Post, he became the pop
corn king. He raises 100 acres of
his best product and buys most of
what his neighbors raise.
In Odebolt there are enough pop
corn cribs to take care of 1000, 900
pounds of the grain One Of these
cribs alone holds about 100000
pounds. In 1909 there were more
than $50 carloads of popcorn shipped
from the town. This enormous year
ly crop of popcorn can scarcely be
estimated under certain conditions,
but one villager remarked:
Each kernel of the grain is sup
posed to swell to 20 times its original
size when popped; so I guess that if
first-class lightning storm should
come along and start Odebolt's crop
to popping in the cribs the whole
county would be covered with six
teet or popcorn snow by morning.
One OF the strictest rules in the
culture of popcorn is the handling
of the grain after it has been har-
vested. No time is allowed to elapse
after the grain has been picked until
1t is safe in the rooted cribs either
In the town or out on the farms.
These cribs are specially construct
ed, for upon the thorough drying of
the grain rests its grading and its
popping power.
| Despite the alluring prospects of
fered by the popcorn users there is
a still greater demand being created
by the European trade. Only short
time ago popcorn was introduced for
the first time in London, and now
the English demand is growing rap
idly. The packing industry and the
candy concoctions are calling heavily
upon the supply, which must be in
creased before long in order to meet
the demand. Popcorn stands are
springing up on the village corners
as well as in the cities, and every
year sees their number multiplied.

great amount of publicity given them,
the remark is often heard that there
are too many. But when it is taken
into consideration that there are forty
million insurable risks in the United
States, and only four million in
sured, the stupendous possibilities
that lie before these companies are
greater than mans mind can con-
ceive without great deal of thought

DEATH OF INDIAN CRoEsUs.
Made His Money Buying and Selling
Land in the Northwest.

Charles Mason, a Yakima Indian
worth approximately 100000, died
last week at his ranch in Nahum Can
yon, Wash He was the wealthiest
Indian in the northwest, and made
his money buying and selling land
in the early days. He had been
for ten years farming in the rich val
ley, where he owned 1 900 acres, and
by intelligent methods had made a
big success growing grain and fatten-
ing cattle. Nasons cattle when
shipped to coast cities always brought
the highest price.
Mason educated his two children
in the public schools of Yakima
county, and they are exceedingly
bright compared with the average
Yakima Indian. Nason's widow has
assumed the ways of her white sis
tiers, though she never attended
school. The big estate, together with
fine herd of thoroughbred cattle,
will be managed by a son who has
just reached his majority. The other
child, daughter, is preparing to en-

had the confidence of all good people, both
white and black; in fact he was distin-
guished for his high sense of honor and
firm devotion to the truth and right. His
boys are just like him in this respect, and
there are not enough people in the Fourth
District to convince me that John Watkins
has ever swerved from what he conscien-
tiously believed to be his duty.
It has been my fondest dream for years
to have John T. Watkins for our Governor,
but it seems that the people of the Fourth
District lay first claim to his valuable SER
vices, and have not yet realized my hopes
in this, but believe that he combines the
qualities that this State needs for that i'm
portant office, viz: honesty and intelli-
gence. zssssF@
am not in the habit of taking any part
whatever in politics, nor do l wish to do
any other candidate any harm, but when
see statements so misleading as some have
been recently on this subject, l feel i'm
PEELED to speak out. l really think that
honesty has come to be such scarce COM
modify, that when people once get such
a man in an important position as John 7.
Watkins, they had better look we'll before
they dispense with his services.
