WATER COMPETITION
REDUCES RATES
Gen. eixby's Report Shows What I'm.
provement Of Rivers VIII
m

WASHINGTON Nov. 28.-In his an
nual report to the secretary of war.
Brig. Gen. ". H. Bixby, chief OF en-
gineers. makes many references to the
beneficial effect of water competition
on railroad rates even where the vol
ume of commerce on waterways is
not large. He says the improvement
of the Mississippi river has had the
effect of materially reducing freight
rates.
For example, discussing work on
the stretch between st. Louis and st
Paul, Bixby following a table OF
comparative rates on the first five
classes of freight, says:
1T will be noted the water rates
are about Sc per cent of the rail rates
While it is not claimed river improve
ments are solely responsible for the
greater difference in freight rates as
shown, it is well known that wherever
water competition exists whether by
river, canal or lake, It's effect on
freight rates is always beneficial to
the public, and that SO long as the
navigation of the Mississippi river is
feasible such benefits will accrue
even though little river commerce is
carried on.
The railroads strive for the north
and south freight business, make much
lower rates where there is water com
petition. cut their rates on certain
commodities, and, it is reported, some
times make especially low rates fol-
the season of navigation.
The rate per ton mile on logs and
lumber fioated down the river has rur
from Il mill to 1 X mills, the average
rate being about ! mill (so0oD. The
lowest rate on lumber in car loat
lots between upper Mississippi rive,
points is mills per ton mile. Thi

INTERNATIONAL
LIVE STOCK SHOW
Scope and influence of the Chicago
Stock Show is Noticed as Each
Succeeding Exposition.

AS year succeeds year, and leaves
in the pages of history, records of
progress in literature, arts and manu-
features, SO the international Live
Stock Exposition, held Dec. 2 to 8,
proves its usefulness and worth by
its continuous and steady progress
towards achievements in the breeding
and feeding world that have today, al
though only the 18th year of it's exist
ence, made it pre-eminently, not only
the greatest exhibition of its kind, but
an educational institution that is leav-
ing its mark upon the youthful stock
men of the country in measure SO
prolific of practical information, as to
place it in the front ranks of that
school of knowledge so absolutely es-
sential to the progress of live stock
breeding.
There is no limit to the possibilities
in the development and extension OF
live stock interests in this vast and
prolific country, with its rapidly in
creasing population, wealth and pow.
er, and great and important as the In
ternational Live Stock Exposition is
at the present moment, it is only in
the swaddling clothes of robust and
vigorous youthfulness.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-11-28

The ever increasing improvement
of the various breeds of live stock
represented at this great international
show, is only a pioneer revelation OF
what it viii accomplish as time goes
on.
Great achievements are not attain
ed in day, nor are the practical and
lasting benefits of scientific breeding
accomplished in a decade, but when
such Improvements in live stock as
are manifest in this, but the 18th year
of the existence OF this great institu-
ton, the result of which is founda-
ton, stock far in advance of anything
the country has ever known before,
what must inevitably be the result OF
another ten years with the ever In
creasing means at hand through this
great exposition. the state fairs, and
the splendid agricultural institutions
of the land, but still further i'm
provement far more rapid, far more
useful and far more far-reaching in
its results.
The Chicago live stock exposition
will pass though all the stages OF
babyhood, youth, and maturity, in
Chicago itself, the great central me-
tropolis of this extraordinarily fertile
land, for this city by the very reason
of its position, must inevitably CON
tinue to be the center OF the great
farming and breeding industries of the
country; for it is the nucleus, not
only from which the rays OF progress
extend, but to which the forces OF
development are attracted; and SO it
is, and so it will be, that when dec
AIDES are counted upon decades, the
great city of Chicago, the future OF
which the generation OF today has nc
conception, will still be the center oil
the live stock world and the live
stock industry, monument of the
past, and beacon that still points to
greater greatness.

" WO girls were talking in their last

those hair-brushing condolences
that correspond most nearly to the

pour out of their wide open mouths.

With that candor Of sChool day Eden
before the serpent Of self-consciousness
in the gusse Of sensitiveness invades,
the gray eyed girl answered:
The Other Side.
What rot I was nearly engaged

grabbed my shoulders with cave
