Minneapolis, Mnn.-Discussing the criticisms that have been published against the cold storage institu- tions of the country, James J. Hill, in his office, took up the cudgel in behalf of these concerns.

 There are few subjects which af- ford greater benefits than the one termed cold storage the system of holding perishable food products in specially constructed cold storage warehouses from seasons of plenty when nature is prolific to the time when nature is dormant, and in time transporting them from the heavy producing sections of the country to The consuming sections and to all parts of the world, where they Sre de livered in prime condition and of ex- eellent quality.

Presidents Forthcoming Tour.

President Taft. who is apparent ly extremely fond of travel. not so much, his friends say, for tray els sake, but because he has a thought that he ought to give to the people personally and by word of mouth his ideas of government. will start from Washington March 15 on an eight days journey. It is perfectly true that an outline of the presidents speechmaking program, as already prepared, shows that as far as texts are concerned, he has chosen only one great legislative subject on which to speak, but If precedent counts for any thing he probably will say a great many things concerning matters of legislative moment while talking on announced subjects that have no par ticular bearing on legislative matters
 The president will go from Wash ington to New York, where he will ad dress a meeting of the members of the Society of Foreign Wars. He will have something to say about patriot ism in time of war and this naturally will lead to discussion of that high CT patriotism which induces men to take an active interest in their eoun- trys affairs in time of peace.
 In Chicago the president will ad- dress the newspaper men, the Irish Fellowship club and a great meeting of persons interested in conserving the natural resources Of the country This conservation meeting is the only one at which MT. Taft, as far as his announcements go. has intimated that he is to speak on a subject which Ia before congress for legislation
 Firm Friend of Conservation.
 Because of the widespread interest in the Ballinger- inquiry and the charges and countercharges that have been made by the men who are involved in the trouble. it is said that Mir Taft fears the people will get the idea that he is not the same firm advo- cate of conservation that he once was The presidents friends say it was be. cause of his absolute desire that the natural resources should be saved that he separated his messages to congress and gave one over wholly to the cause of conservation. This mes. sage was sent by itself SO that there would be no other matter to draw the attention Of congress away from the prime subject which the president wanted il to consider
 The president will remain two days in Albany as a guest of Gov. Hughes After leaving the capital of New York state. MT. Taft will go 10 New Haven to attend a meeting of the Yale cor. noration. of which he is a member. Then he will go to Providence. Rhode Island. to speak to the manufacturing jewellers, and from there he will go To New York to deliver two speeches. one before a Republican gathering al which his speech probably will have a strong political tone. The president will be at his White House desk again at noon on March 9. to take up once more his struggles with congress.

..R0YS HEEDS NOT
CIVIL SERVICE

Commissioner L. w. Roys yes
terday appointed four firemen and
incidentally showed up his disre-
gard of the civil service of the
city and demonstrated that it is a
farce.
Roys named r. o. Woolery, w.
D. Mays, George Karbo and f. r.
Cox.
Woolery and Mays were the two
high men on the civil service list
of eligibles. Cox was the fifth
man and Karbo was at the tail
of the list, and according to Sec
retary Watts not eligible to APP
pointment at all under the char
ter.
The charter provides that in
making appointments the COM
missioner shall name each APP
pointee from the three high men
on the eligible list.
The list contains seven: Wool
cry, Mays, Hoven, Mustoe, Cox,
Wall, Karbo. The board of civil
service commissioners holds that
the first name should have been
chosen from the first three, the
second from. the three highest re-
naming, the third from the next
three and so on until all places
were filled.

Congress and the Farmer.

The Ranch presents in this issue an
article by President Barrett, Presi-
dent of the Farmers Union. The
Farmers Union differs from the Gran
ges inasmuch as the Grange is not
allowed to go into politics, while the
Farmers Union makes that a special
feature. President Barrett is now
devoting his time to the interest Of
agriculture before Congress.
His letter shows that Congressman
are now very alive to the agricultural
interests of the nation. This probab-
ly was brought about by the fact that
three million votes. Whether this be
true or not, if Congress is really in
earnest to enact such measures as
are demanded by the farming inter
ests, these are the important matters
for them to consider: Preventing of
grain gambling; the establishment of
Postal Savings Banks; the establish
ment of Parcels Post, the restriction
of Foreign immigration; and to more
hberality OF agricultural app1opria-
tions. The Postal Saving Banks mea-
sure will become law at this session.
The Parcels Post. the next most i'm
portant meaure will not become
law until there is stronger demand
for it. 1t is bitterly fought by the ex
press companies and country mer-
chants. The latter are certainly I'M
informed as to the good it will do
them. They fear the mail house can
outsell them. We do not believe this,
but do believe that with such system
the country merchant will be better
in position to accommodate his Gus
toners. Congress has already shown
more liberal spirit in agricultural
appropriations. The defeat of the
Central Bank plan is already fore
gone conclusion. The restriction Of

the foreign immigration is vital
question for congress to handle. How
ever, 1T is necessary, and sooner or la
ter it must be taken up seriously by
congress. So long as the foreign i'm
migrants were from northern Europe,
Morse, Irish, English, German, Scan
dinavian and Dutch, each addition
was a permanent good to the country.
Most of these immigrants went at once
into the country where they improved
the land and added to the value OF our
citizenship. Such as these were then
and always will be welcome. But of
recent years the largest bulk of our
immigrants have come from Asiatic
and Southern Europe ports, and com
prise class of people who herd into
the cities, and add to the impossible
ty of good government. The restric-
tion is demanded by the nation for
its own protection.

Perhaps no political affair of recent
years will be of more interest to the
agricultural class and to all voters
than the fight in Congress which has
just eliminated in the defeat of
Speaker Cannon. This is fight with
IN the ranks of the Republican party,
between the old line party and those
commonly known as insurgents. The
insurgents as a rule are closer to the
farmer, and stand more nearly for
what he desires than the old line par
ty.

On another page of The Ranch Mr..
Smith, State Organizer of the Grange,
has an article on the "Grange in Poll
tics,'' which is very much to the
point at the present time, and is
most important. for the campaign
will soon be on. The Grange as an
organization is not allowed to endorse
candidates. They are not prevented
however from making their power as
fully felt. The farmers are especially
interested in good government, for the
land pays large percentage of our
state taxes. The city man can evade
his taxes but the farmer cannot. His
farm is there, he cannot move it or
cover it up, and ii taxes are not paid,
it will be sold. The farmers have a
large interest at the coming campaign
than ever, on account of the local OPP
ton movement. At the coming cleo
ton this fall, the counties will vote on
the question of wet or dry territory.
4 IL that part of the county, outside

of Incorporated cities, is unit under
the local option law, and If a majority
of voters decide against the saloon,
none can be established. The farmer
as rule is against the open saloon,
he knows of the evils even better than
the majority of the people of the city.
A country saloon run without police
regulations as they usually are by
men who are INSCRIPTIONS, is about
the worst school of crime possible.
They will have little chance among
the farmers of Washington.

Farmers should not overlook the
value of the poultry yard. On farm
where there is much waste, poultry
yards can be maintained very cheap

to the family income. 1t is strange
but true that most successful poultry
raisers are city people or suburban
people who are compelled to pay a
high price for feed. The farmers as
rule take too little care of the poul
