SPIRIT OF n WEST

Referring to the present outlook OF
the industrial West, a well-known
Winnipeg real estate man who makes
it a point to keep in close touch with
important Western sections says in a
local publication:
1T is not merely the rich natural re
sources-soil fertility, climate, water
supply and crop records-on which We
shall base our final estimate of the
essential soundness Of the Vests
future. All these things are impor-
tant; but it is the spirit and enter
prise Of the people that will count
most d~ecisively in the final analysis.
Instance after instance Of the West.
ern spirit could be cited almost at ran
dom. There is Saskatoon, where the
citizens have recently set themselves
the task of raising a million dollar in.
dustrial fund, to be used, not for Civ
ing Of bonuses but for taking up the
bonds of approved enterprises.

States, in the articles of bread stuffs,
cotton seed oil, cattle, hogs, sheep,
meat and dairy products, cotton and
mineral oils, amounted to $52,05S,-
$50. For the eleven months ending
with May, the aggregate exports
amounted to 1912, 90O,214.
Attendance at the sessions OF con-
gress are mighty slim these days as
between the Chicago and Baltimore
attractions, it has been necessary for
congress to deal largely with matters
OF legislation Of a routine order. The
illustrious William Jennings Bryan,
while in Chicago said that he was
there "to get a pece for his paper"
Evidently that part Of the officials that
did not go to Chicago, has had little
time for anything else than to read
these most interesting pieces" writ
ten by Mr.. Bryan and other reporters.

with matters of general legislation.
The President and congress are not
disagreed regarding the army appro-
priation bill proper, and from any
view point it should not carry mat
tiers foreign to it's legitimate makeup.
The President has found plenty OF sup
porters from among his republican
and democratic opponents in his posi-.
ton that matters of general legisla-
ton are entitled to and must have
separate and distinct action by con
gress.
The enormous volume Of exports
from the United States Is shown by a
bulletin issued by the department OF
comerce and labor in which it appears
that during the month Of May, ex-
ports originating from the principal
customs districts, which does not rep
resent the total for the entire United

PROPOSED R.. R..
RATES SUSPENDED
POSTPONEMENT OF ADVANCE ON
RATES Is OF IMPORTANCE
TO THE STATE
RAILROAD BOARD DEFERS ACTION
Commissioners viii Hold Hearings at
Different Points to Ascertain
ReasonabIeness Of tho Law.

1t develops that the action or the
interstate commerce commission, in
~suspending a proposed advance In
freight rates IN South Dakota, North
Dakota and Iowa by the Milwaukee
company was done at the suggestion
OF the South Dakota board OF rail
road commissioners, says a Sioux
Falls dispatch.
Before reporting the case to the in
terstate commerce commission, it also
develops that the state board had is
sued an order suspending the pro
posed advance so far as the new rates
applied to points wholly within the
state OF South Dakota and which thus
were within the jurisdiction OF the
South Dakota board.
The South Dakota board will hold
a series Of hearings at Pierre and
such other points as may be neces-
sary TO ascertain the propriety or
reasonableness Of the proposed new
schedule Of freight rates. These hear
ings are expected to be completed be-
fore the expiration OF ninety days
this being the period for which the
new rates have been suspended.
At the last session Of the legisla-
ture the same provision was made
for the state railroad commissioners
as is contained in the interstate com
merce act for the suspension OF rates.
South Dakota Is the only state in the
union which has thus far given its
board OF railroad commissioners this
power, and the present instance is
the first time the South Dakota board
has exercised this power.
TIE proposed new tariff schedule
providing for an advance in freight
rates was filed with the South Da-
Kota commission by the Milwaukee
company on May Is, and was origin
ally intended to have gone into effect
on June 10.
The rates from Mitchell, Aberdeen
and Sioux Falls to points on the
Puget Sound line of the Milwaukee
company, had this new schedule gone
into effect, would have increased all
the way from eight to twenty-one
cents for one hundred pounds. Both
state and interstate rates were in
tended to be advanced. and the board
in addition to ~suspending the state
rates filed the complaint with the
interstate commerce commission upon
which that body based its suspension
of the interstate rates.

A WEEK At
WASHINGTON
PRESIDENT TAFT HAS BEEN Elk.
ERCISlNG HIS VETO DUR
ING THE WEEK.
WlsTHULNESS OF THE PEOPLE
Is Well illustrated by the Destruction
of the Herring Fish Of Alaska
Other Capitol News.

(From Our Washington Correspondent
No better illustration Of the waste
fulness of the American people has
been brought to light since the days
when men said. "let US slaughter the
buffalo and We will take the tallow
and hide and let the carcas 60" than
that con. erning the great destruction
Of the herring fish Of Alaska. Only
twenty per cent Of these herring are
utilized as food, yet the enormous
amount Of II, 900, 900 pounds OF this
fish. which is considered one OF the
great food products of the seas in
Scotland, Holland and Norway, Is con-
verted into oil and fertilizer, the oil
being used as the basis Of the liquid
soap which in late years has become
so popular in this country. While
the government is spending its mil
lions of dollars for the purpose OF in
creasing the fish supplies in all Amer
lean waters, yet a concern In Alaska,
known as the Alaska Oil and Guano
Company, is making it's millions by
utilizing herring as a product for fer
tilizing, and the company has been
able to eel government protection
by paying to the United States one
and two-teuth cents per barrel Of 200
yNt,pda ofnnttntfr IN nhApf tu-o hun
dredths Of one cent per pound. Mr..
Willis, Congressman from Ohio, who
brought out the points in connection
with this enormous destruction OF
herring, also showed that in catching
these fish for the purpose Of manu-
featuring fertilizer, that the Alaskan
oncern did not make any particular
selection Of fish, and If salmon or any
other kind Of fish were brought In
with the rest in the nets, that they
were ground into fertilizer and be-
came a part Of the wicked waste.
Mr.. Willis said that fishermen went
for herring and added that when
they laid their nets, obviously there
is no way of getting out an injunction
to keep other fish from getting in the
nets, and what other fish they get,
and they get salmon, they use in the
same way"
The president has been exercising
his veto, which has disturbed some OF
the leaders of congress, but among
all classes there has been a recogni-
ton Of the logic Of the Presidents
position in refusing to become a psfty
to loading" an appropriation Bll

tory statement was read in behalf Of
Col. Roosevelt, asking that his name
be not presented and that his dele
gates sit in mute protest against all
further proceedings.
A great majority of the Roosevelt
delegates, in the Illinois and all in
the Missouri and Idaho delegations
declined to follow this advice, but Col.
Ro~osevelt's sway over the delegates
from California, Kansas, Maine, Min
nesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Penn

but absolute. Most of the delegates
from these states announced their
purpose Of helping to give Mr.. Roose-
welt an independent nomination at
another hall in the evening. Another
convention occasioned no surprise. 1t
was but a fulfillment of predictions
that had been made for several days.

"OIL PULL" TRACTOR
 FOR COUNTY ROADS
DEMONSTRATION OF MODERN ROAD BUILDING WILL BE
 MADE HERE SOON.
Machine Guaranteed to Wcrk Wonders in the Matter Of Grading and Flowing Where Roads Are
 to Be Built.

That there will soon be in working order ca the county roads of this county a Rumley "Oil-Pull' TTacto', ls a probability that hinges only be- tween the great wonders guaran eed for this modern Hercules in the matter of road construction, and the results it can actually perform when applied 70 local road surfaces.
 County Judge Robert Mooney Tn pursuance of his determined policy to work out tae road question in this county. has visited the McC!a aldon farm east of the city where knmely ''Oil Pull' Tractor is now being uasd. The machine there pulls four blows and is showing something O. won derful performance in the malss q modern farm tilling.
 As applied 10 road construction, here are some of the things pointed out ,a favor of the Tractor.
 That it will pull a heavy grader that it would take twenty mules to pull.
 That it will pull such things as ighs inch stumps like drawing straws f"3m sand heaps.
 That it will haul quantity of araveI or road building materials su.h as 1t would require about 20 mules Q haul
 That it will go anywhere .La- a mule team will go, climb any hill, ana that its rate of speed on the read is about the same as that of walk ing seam.
 That it will pull blow or a series of blows, and do more worN than a number of teams.
 The cost of working this "Oil-Pull" Tractor. which burns with half oil and aalf water, is estimated at S2.lO per day.
 County Judge Mooney was naturally Interested in the many claims made for this engine, and has given the company the opportunity to make a demonstration on the county roads soon. The date of the demonstration will be announced in advance. and the public will be given an opportunity to witness it.
 Incidentally this heavy Tractor car not be shown properly with ordinary blows, or ordinary graders. It is de signed to handle neavy machinery and as the graders and blows of heaTJ proportions must also be sold. If ih, Tractor is bound. Judge Mooney also extended an opportunity to a salesman from this line to demonstrate at tht same time,
 Judge Mooney is interested in tn, matter of road development, and real izes that modern methods arc the on's ores for satisfactory results. Ther, are now four mule teams being work, ed on the county roads. Each team ha. l. have driver Ire care of h. mules and the salary of the drivers will be much more than the expense of maintaining this ai Tractor. ant the Tractor promises much greater 1 results.
