 Having been made uncomfortable by house flies since time immemorial, New York is now planning a novel innovation by which it is proposed to reverse matters and make the fly miserable for a change As result the millions of flies which may have decided upon this city as the one in which to spend the summer months are sure to find warm reception awaiting them in the shape of

 close to the billion mark In early spring, however. before eggs have

It is estimated, therefore, that if every man, woman and child were to kill two flies a day for the next ten days the city would progress so far toward flylessness as 1 to make the joke about 8 bald-headed man without flavor here.

BACHE REVIEW

NEW YORK, May 1-At the be- ginning of the week the whole coun- try was under threat of a strike of the railroad engineers on 50,000 miles of railroad east of Chicago. These miles of railroad in the last forty years. more or less. had built up along their lines vast populace, perhaps some 50 millions of souls, who for their daily food and occupa- ton were largely dependent upon the regular movement of transportation over the lines of road aforesaid.
 The chief of the combination of railroad engineers, had in terse, easily understood terms. threatened the country with disaster, widespread and destructive. The action which he de- clared he would bring about on two hours notice to the railroads, if they did not yield to demand for higher wages, would have stopped the wheels of industry, left perishable products in transit to decay. halted food supplies in every direction, and pro- duced infinite discomfort and in convenience for large part of the inhabitants.

Following is an extract from the current issue of Farm and Preside:
 Much attention has been given ill recent years to the raising of nuts for profit Orchards of chestnuts, oceans. English walnuts and filberts have been planted. and fabulous stories are told by nurserymen of the quick growth. early bearing and great yield of the stock they advertise. Attempts have been made to grow these nuts in climates not altogether adapted to them not always with the best results Occasionally appears the destructive chestnut bark disease to destroy the work of years. but scattered over the northern states nut trees growing wild, perfectly har dy and untouched by disease. bear ing. ln their uncared for condition good crops of nuts,

danger threatened has been obvi- atcd and the contention will now pass probably into arbitration and final settlement.
 As usual in such emergencies the stock market did not wince. well knowing that unreasonable demon- strations on the part of labor are sure to run up against the immovablc obstacle of public disapproNal.
 But the dangerous character of the Incident still impresses itself, and if present laws are not adequate or if officials win not enforce them. new legislation should be enacted de- lining such acts and possible threats against the lives and fortunes of mnumerable people as severely punishable.
 The stock market then has real reason for it's strength outside of the very fact that it is supported by powerful operators on the bull side. While there is from time to time profit taking and some distribution. the brokerage houses do not show large loans of stock carried for the news which might affect an over bought market with stocks in weak hands is nov given only it's due superficial weight, and the factors making for a long rise already noted. are the strong foundations which keep the market from any notable reactions.
 In politics activity is becoming greater and more heated. but the good judgment of the whole country is relied upon for conservative results and fear Of any danger here is not yet entertained.
 The strike features of the situation are at least temporarily in process of adjustment. The anthracite coal strike has been settled. The engi- neers' threatening strike is moving towards arbitration One difficulty after another in this direction is being overcome The strength of the rail- road stocks evidences belief that the growing business of the country will not be arrested by the tie ups in transportation. Tn addition to the prospects for great volume Of busi- ness. there is also among the rail- roads a hope fl not q belief that eventually a raise in rates will be allowed. A minimum percentage in this direction would have little ad- verse effect upon consumers. but to the railroads on it's vast volume of trade, it would mean renewed pros perity which would be reflected throughout the whole country The equipment stocks have not yet be- gun to anticipate what must come in the way of largely increasing orders, as necessities of the roads become more and more pressing.
 Many good railroad and industrial stocks are at a level showing attrac- tive yield and the outlook is for in creasing volume of general business at better prices. and consequently. in creasing profit. There are many stocks, which if now bought and held. vii carry themselves at good rates and should eventually show a very fav- orable increase in market price

PIONEER ENGINEER REMEM-
BERS LATE b. p. TILDEN
Dickinson, N. D.
February 26, 1912.

Editor Alert
Having just learned Of the death
of B. P. Tilden of your city, feel
impelled to write you few lines out
of respect for him. AS far as l
know Mr.. Tilden and I were the only
ones left in the northwest of that
party of engineers who, in 1882
SO and 'S4, did the preliminary work
for the N. P. Ry. that resulted in
the opening up Of that magnificent
country north Of jamestown. 1t is
fact but little known that the first
work that E. H. McHenry did for the
Northern Pacific was under Mr.. TIL
den on the extension north of James,
town. Mr.. McHenry was afterwards
chief engineer and one Of the receiv-
ers of the Northern Pacific.
jamestown has lost one of her
most loyal citizens and humanity has.
lost one of its best friends In the
death of Mr.. Tilden. No man ever
lived who SO completely had the love
and respect of the men who worked
under him. There was not man
of that engineer corps of long years
ago who would not have laid down
and died for him had it been neces-
sary. The "Old Man. as the bys
loved to call him, was one of the
best educated men who ever came to
the northwest and while he was a
quiet reserved sort of man, he had
the faculty of binding to him with
hooks Of steel those who were for
tunate enough to be admitted to his
friendship. The world Is better that
such men as B. P. Tilden have lived.
