Farmers Interview President.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-President
Taft indulged in some plain talk yes
terday in explaining to 25 members of
the National Grange that he does not
intend to present any politics with the
Canadian reciprocity agreement, even
II the enactment of that measure by
congress costs him the farmers vote.
The president told his visitors bluntly
that he was sorry to hear that re.
publican farmers would desert the
party If the agreement goes through
but fear of such desertion would not
change his conviction as to the wisdom
of such legislation. He said he be.
lieved reciprocity to be the best thing
for the whole country and that he did
not intend to argue it.
N. P. Hall, master OF the Michigan
Grange, spokesman of the farmers, In
timated strongly that the farmer does
not like reciprocity and that republi-
can votes are likely to be lost IT it ia
passed. "1freciprocity goes through, y

Democratic Measure Will Now Go

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Nine hours
OF continuous pounding at the hands of
the republican minority OF the house
failed to make q change in the first
democratic tariff bill-that placing on
the free list agricultural implements,
meats and many other articles. The
bill passed the house by q vote of 236
to 100, the democrats voting solidly
and mastering "a republicans with
them.
This came after the democrats had
voted down, or ruled out of order,
more than 100 amendments and had
demonstrate again that the demo.
cratic majority was compact and
smoothly working m achine for the en-.
actment of legisl alton. Minority Lead =.
er Mann offered amendment after
amendment, ranging all the way from
free rice to free lead and pig iron, but
those that were not ruled out of order
were cheerfully voted down by an al
most solid democr attic vote.
The repu blican leaders roundly de.
nounced the democrats for denying
freedom OF debate and amendments.
Former Speaker Cannon said that
never In the history OF congress had the
right of representation on the floor OF
the house been so limited; Minority
Leader Payne said the democrat
would be discredited before the coun.
try for their arbitrary exercise of ma.
jority power.
Mr.. Mann said the democrats had
not put either rice or rice -four on the
free list because they were products
| OF the southern states. Democra attic
Leader Underwood declared it was be-
cause the democrats did not know how
much revenue it would cost the gov.

WOOL FREIGHT RATES.

1t is announced in q press dispatch
from Washington that q comprehen.
sive investig alton of alleged unresson.
able freight rates on wool, hides and
pelts from western points of origin to
eastern destin ations was ordered today
by the interstate commission. The
inquiry will affect wool, hides and pelt
rates throughout the country.
The investigation has developed
from complaints dled by the Nation al
Wool Growers association and the
Oregon railway commission against
western carriers, alleging that exist.
ing rates on wool, hides and pelts
were excessive, exorbitant and die
criminatory.
Some of the features of freight
charges upon western products are
discussed by the Missoula Sentinel 10
these remarks:
According to Mr.. McCune, the tariff
expert Ia the Spokane rate case, wool
growers have been specially aggriev.
ed by the rates charged them. While
the uniform rate on wool from Pacific
coast points to Boston, the nation g
wool N arket, has been 81 per hundred
pounds, the rate on wool from interior
points, where practically all the wool
is grown, Ia e2.13 per one hundred
pounds.
What makes the matter worse is th at
wool, shipped as 1t is sin the grease, "
th at is without the waste being elimi-
mated, is subject to great shrinkage,
amounting In some cases to as high
as 81 per cent. On the waste as we'll
as on the wool, of course, freight has
to be paid. Thus it is estima ated hat
it costs the wool grower OF the noun.
tain states to get q pound of pure wool
on the Boston market 6.39 cents.
The rank injustice to the wool
grower becomes all the more marked
when 1t is known that, even at the
high rates charged, it only costs the
m manufacturer OF wooden goods 3.75
cents per pound to transport his pro-
duct to the point OF wool shipment
It is claimed by those who have
made up the case to be presented tt
the interstate commerce commission
tn at the excess railroad charges abov'
q reasonable rate amount annually tt
g., 900, 900. If this could be secured tt
the wool grower it would go lonl
way tow ards conpens ating him for an.
anticipated loss from the reduction q
the tariff on foreign woods. Bein
divided among . number of rallroad
the loss of each would not be great
Moreover, II lower rate would hav
the effect of encouraging the industr,
it would look like good railroa
policy.

Size Of Acre Depends On Man.

Professor L. Il. Bailey, director Of
Cornell college of agriculture, thinks
that the size Of an acre depends on the
size of the man who farms it-that is
to say, on his industry and ability.
He visited farmer in Texas who was
making less money out of q 40, O00- acre
ranch than Rhode Island man out
of ten acres; and he gives reasons for
his belief that greater advance in
agriculture will take place within the
next fifty years than the world has
ever before seen.

DIXON DOES GOOD WORK.

Events of the past week in Wash.
ington give testimony that Senator
Dixon of Montana, is still living up
to his we'll won title, won by hard
work, of !"the man who does things"
in ashington. No senator on the
sen ate roll works harder for his con-
stituents than Joe Dixon of Montana,
and his work is of the class which
brings results.
To Great Falls, to northern Mon.
tana, the aid OF Senator Dixon in
securing from the secretary of the in
terror an order allowing the waters OF
Birch creek to be used for irrig alton
Of land under the Conrad ditch, seems
of most Importance in that 1t concerns
us the more directly. Birch creek is
the southern boundary of the Black
feet Indian reserv alton, and lies at
the foot of heavy slope from the re-
serve. which alone prevents the water
from being used upon the lands OF the
reserve, we're there ever any attempt
made go to do; as matter of fact the
waters of Birch creek have never been
of any chance for use to the residents
OF the reserve, even before it was
placed to be thrown open, as water
will no more run uphill upon an In.
dian reservation than it will upon
ordinary land-and that is all there
is to it. Nevertheless, it has been
impossible to secure the waste water
for irrig alton of other wheat lands
under any administrator of the land
Office previous to that of Secretary
Fisher, and the work of Sena Dix
on, and the order will be one which
means prosperity and happiness to
thousands Of people who propose to
till the soil and add to the wealth OF
the country through the medium OF
farm lands reel aimed from the un-
broken prairie.
In the Yellowstone reclaim alton pro.
ject also there has been grief between
the settler and the government recla.
nation arm-a grief which caused the
settlers to refuse water from the gov.
ernment ditch, aud brought about q
most startling, as we'll as unfortunate
condition. The Yellowstone natter
has been on for year or more, the
settlers holding that their rights were
not looked after according 10 agree
meent by the reclamation service, and
for time attempts At an smicable
settlement seemed considerably up in

proof concrete construction, poured
into molds. By this method o good
substantial house can be made within
"a hours.
No man knows the history OF ce-
ment. Wander among the ruins Of
ancient Rome and you will find solid
masonry, laid with cement made from
volcanic ash mixed with lime and
water. History does not tell who laid
these stones and how the first mason
discovered the secret of his mortar.
Visit the ruined cities of the Aztecs in
Central America and you will find in.
tact their ancient masonry, laid with
cement, and walls still standing made
from cement and rubble.
Cement, as we know it, is N ade from
a mixture of lime, silica and alumina.
These things, in the right proportion,
have the property of cohering until
the product becomes as hard as stone.
The lime 10 usually secured by burn-
ing limestone, the silica and alumina a
are natural products of clay.
There are three distinct kinds of
cement, of which the Portland Is the
best known; so called because it hap

near England. Portland cement was

was not until 1878 that the industry
was brought to this country. The

was At Caplay. Pa. Up to the year
