RAILROAD FROM

For some time 1t has been reported
that large parties OF surveyors We're
inc the country to the north of us
I'm the South Fork OF the Snake, on
Grey's river and at various other
peints-working up and down these
streams and different mountain pass
$. Other parties were known to be
looking into coal mining possibilities
in that region, and still others inves-
tieating timber possibilities.
There has been considerable spec
ulation as to just what road, or roads,
these surveyors represented, as the
geographical location throws this ter
ritory In the path of both the Bur-
ington and the Northwestern, should

always been supposed to be ready to
throw in a line in that locality should

acquire the territory.

SECRETARY KNOX DEFENDS
THE TAFT Administration
Replies to the Indictment Made Against the Re-
publican Party by Roosevelt-It IS Still the
Grand Old Party.

Seattle, WASH, Oct. l5--That tn,
Republican party is still the grand
old party that has accomplished
such magnificent things in the way
of beneficent government; that it is
the grand old party that it was
when it elevated Colonel Roose
velt to the presidency and accepted
his advice and elected Presiden'
Taft; and that Colonel Roosevelt
has changed and not the party were
some of the terse statements made
by Secretary of State Knox before {
Republican mass meeting in -shit
city last night. Secretary Knox
said:

FACTS ABOUT OUR
FOREIGN TRADE

In the face OF that mythical "tar-
iff WALL" which Woodrow Wilson
argues to curtail our foreign trade,
our exports during the month of
August were s95, ,643,85o, greater
than in the corresponding month
of last year. The increase was all
in manufactured products.
In fast the actual increase IN ex-
ports of manufactured products was
greater than that, for exports under
the classification, ssbreadstuffs, cot
tonseed oil, food animals, meats and
dairy products, cotton and mineral
oils" for the month showed q de.
, crease of $3, ,227.526.
In other words, we are keeping
home a larger percentage of agrical-
tural and natural products to meet
our increased domestic demands,
and shipping abroad a constantly
increasing percentage of rnanufac-
tured goods.
Free trade theorists maintain that
! Republican tariff laws must produce
precisely the opposite effect. Actin.
al statistics show that the theorists
do not know what they are talking
about.
Woodrow Wilson cables to q
London newspaper that he is not a
free trader. He tells the American
people that he is not protectionist.
His speeches indicate that he il a

tween September 81, 1910 and Aug.

fused to nominate him for third
term, and this / believe il suscept-

thoughtful consideration Of Presi-
dent Taft's record"
Secretary Knox enumerated the
important measures enacted by the
sixty-frst congress, upon the recon-
mendation of the president and in
fulfillment of the party's pledges,
and CONTINUED:
"What better proof of far-slghted
and enlightened craftsmanship along
progressive lines can be found than
in those measures initiated and ad-
vooated by President Taft?
sin each case his action rests up
on the sound proposition that the
welfare of the people and the nation
and people can best be secured by
establishing safeguards against i'm
justice and greed and by recognizing
that the property of individuals and
of nations is dependent on their fair

SPECIAL TRAINS.
Railroads Working in Conjunction
With Agricultural College Elk

With Agricultural College Ex.
tension Departments.
During the past three years the rail.
road companies in different parts OF
the country have been giving special
attention to the running OF special
trains. These special trains are for
the purpose Of giving the farmers in
formation regarding the production OF
live stock and grains Of all kinds
Recently. In the state of Iowa, the
Rock Island railroad equipped train
for the purpose Of giving tho farmers
information as regards to the raising
of hogs After this train had run
through portion OF Iowa It was TAX
Ell on to Nebraska. Oklahoma and
Texas. In fact the train was run
throughout the Rock Island system.
The extension department OF each of
these states co-operatcd with the rail
road and aided In making these trips
. grand success.
During the past year another train
was run in different part OF the state
of Iowa and the lectures we're devoted
to the Improvement of the bacon hog
The train was known as the Break
fast Bacon Special" Speakers from
the extension department Of the Iowa
State college did most Of the talking.
Their talks were brief, concise and to
the point. and large amount OF in
formation was given to the farmers
wherever the train happened to stop.
There has been considerable dis.
cussion regarding the relative merits
OF these special trains. Some people
say that 1t is not possible for the
farmer to gain much information by
listening to lecture upon any one
topic However. we find that these
trains are doing a wonderful amount
Of good. 1t may be true that the farm
er may not get much information from
listening to one Of these talks, but he
will become enthused and II any ques-
lions come up later he will send them
in to people who are well versed in
that special type of farming.
Last June the Northern Pacific Rail.
way company. in connection with the
Montana Farmers Institute. ran a
Better Farming Special" across the
state Of Montana. This train was
taken to nearly all parts of the coun-
try into which the Northern Pacific
lines are extended. The talks we're
along the lines of dry farming irriga-
ton farming, live stock and diseases
and insects. A specialist along each
one of these lines devoted his entire
time to questions and giving out infor-
nation regarding these topics. No
doubt the value OF this train win be
felt for number Of years. At the
present time 1t has been rumored that
there will be another special train
sometime during the present year. II
Is hoped that these trains will meet a
large number of people and that It
/ will be possible to give the farmers n
valuable amount OF information. III.
