Nearing the End

A Washington dispatch says: II
can be stated on reliable information
that the tariff bill will pass the SEN
ate the early part of September.
Some Of the Republicans have been
making the ridiculous charge that
the bill discriminates against the
farmer. They are doing this in the
hope OF winning the farmer from the
Democratic party at the next cleo
ton.
The fact of it is that the farmer is
one of the greatest beneflciaries un-
der the pending tariff bill. 1t places
every piece of farming machinery
and every farming tool on the free
list which we're heavily taxed under
the Payne-AIdrich bill. 1t also
places his clothing and all manufac-
tured food that he uses on the free
list. The tariff on farm products has
always been q sham and has never
helped him for the reason that this
country is an exporter of foods and
not an importer, and tariff on beef
for instance has merely helped the
beef trust to make. its monopoly ef-
fective, as they name the price the
farmer gets for his cattle; and the
price the consumer must pay for his
beef steak. So the tariff on beef
has simply been an aid to the beef
trust In shutting out foreign COM
petion. This is largely true Of the
tariff on all farm products. The new
tariff bill will be an unmixed bless
ing for the farmer.

Will Come This Way

Speaking pf the route of the trans
continental highway, the Rifle Tel
egram in its last issue says:
LAS the matter now stands, 1t
seems almost certain that the high
way will pass through Rifle, and
from this point will go to Meeker and
thence west. The reasons for this
are numerous, chief among them
being the facts that the highway Is
to be constructed along that line
which in the future at least contain,
or whose natural resources will guar
antee, the greatest population. The
route selected will also be chosen
because of grade, the effect of
climatical conditions at various sea-
sons Of the year, and for numerous
other reasons. 1t Is therefore almost
certain that the great coast to coast
highway will pass through Rifle and
thence northward to Meeker and
westward through vernal, Utah, to
Salt Lake City"
Let US all pull together for the
great ocean-to-ocean highway. 1t
means much for the development of
White River valley.

The Plunger

6herln Lyon returned from Oguen,
Utah, Monday night, with J. b.
King, whose exploits hereabouts are
. matter of local history.
Kings true character became known
In Meeker, Sheriff Lyon sent tele-
grams in every direction, with the
result that he WAS apprehended in
Ogden.
The Ogden Standard of last Satur-,
day, throws some light on Kings
brief engagement in that city, rs fol-
lows:
s'Sheriff r. G. Lyon Of Rio Blanco
county, Colorado, arrived In Odgen
this morning with the requisition
papers for J. b King, alias J. f.
Markham, alias J. b. Jordan, whom
he will take back TO Meeker to ans
wer the charge Of obtaining money
under false pretenses. The sheriff
will depart with his prisoner this
evening or tomorrow morning.
The charge against King is that he
purchased under false pretenses OF J.
w. q. Shepherd OF Meeker one stag
and one sulkey plow, a shotgun, four
boxes Of gun shells, box of Colts
pistol cartridges and razor strop,
valued at $50. He is alleged to have
given q worthless check In payment
for the articles.
II will be recalled that about two
weeks ago King appeared In Ogden.
secured quarters at the Reed hotel,
hired livery rigs and automobiles,
bought mining stock and otherwise
attempted to swindle the people of
Ogden and Salt Lake, but failed to
receive anything of cash value. He
did not pay his hotel bill nor did he
put,up anything for livery hire, but
he had lively time and WAS ac-
companied to Salt Lake on his last
auto trip by woman. He was ap-
pretended by the sheriff and has been
held in jail since that time, awaiting
the Colorado officers.
Sheriff Lyon states that King was
nol It Meeker great while, but that
dufiAg his sojourn he attempted =
number of shady transactions, among
them being the one upon which he is
|ckarged with fraud. In Meeker he
went by the name of King and he
clii ipsst thet he was wealthy busi-
| apAsr 6ufiaio. He stated that
~ hi Y lost his xtfs n deatA
Esads
looking for good Investments and he
made deal with well-to-do ranch
man Of Meeker for the purchase Of
his ranch, giving him draft on a
Buffalo bank for $l0,5OO. The deeds
to the property were made out to him
before It was discovered that the
draft was worthless. However, no
criminal action was taken against the
man for this transaction. He had
made himself good fellow in Meek
er and no one cared to prosecute him.
King served time In the Colorado
penitentiary for fraud, committed at
GlenwUod Springs.
Sheriff Lyon recovered John Shep-
herds shotgun In an Ogden pawn
shop. Other portable property had
disappeared.

AN INVESTIGATION URGED BY MAYOR Simon Bloom Writes Letter to w. D. Hearn Urging
 Immediate Action.
PROTECT OUR CITY
Says Cotton Belt is Discriminating Against Pine Bluff Merchants
 and Lab0ring Men.

Mayor Simon Bloom is interesting himself in Pine Bluffs future and the welfare of the working man, as was evidenced by letter which he addressed last night to W. D. Hearn, president of the Bank of Pine Bluff and Incidentally president of the Chamber of Comerce ill which he urg- cd that some definite action be taken to ascertain why the Cotton Belt rail- road company is, apparently, dis eliminating against this city in the handling of it's affairs. He cites that the company is sending it's coaches away to be repaired, instead of giv- ing home laborers the work, and adds that he hears that the road is soon to send it's engines elsewhere to be over hauled.
 Mr. Bloom urges immediate action on the part of Pine Bluff business men-an investigation, so to speak, with view to letting Pine Bluff merchants know where they stand and to better conditions for the labor ing man. Mayor Blooms letter fol- lows: MT. w. D. Hearn,
 President Chamber of Commerce,
 City.
 Mir. Dear MT. Hearn:-I trust you will pardon me for taking up your valuable time. There is a condition confronting the business interests of olr city of vital importance. l am appealing to you feeling that if there IS any one man that we can all go to it is you. The matter of the Cotton Belt and the continued reduction of it's force among the working men has about reached a climax.
 l appreciate the fact that this ap- peal has been made to the Chamber of Comerce on more than one occas- ion. However, the result stands even worse than at the time we had the meeting. l am reliably informed that all the cars that are being repaired are being hauled from this place to St. Charlse, Mo. am further inform ed that all the engines will be shipped away and repaired.
 You have read ill the daily papers here that the different shops along this ne are being enlarged and i'm proVements of 8 general nature being made. Did it ever occur to you that the Cotton Belt might be figuring on a
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1913-05-16

greater move away from Pine Bluff?
 Some years ago we had a few of us that comprised Board of Trade. If 1 remember right, Mr. Fred Fox was our president. MT. E. D. Russell was the secretary. 1 remember I was one of the committee that solicited thirty thousand dollars to donate to the Cotton Belt. to build larger and additional car shops so that this work could be done in Pine Bluff. 1 can- not remember if anything was done towards making any arrangements or anything definitely stated that certain amount of the work was to be done in Pine Bluff. Won't you please try and ascertain from Mr. Russell if there ey sts any kind of understand ing relative to this.
 At the last meeting on this proposi- tion it was conclusiyely proven that every merchant in this city favored the Cotton Belt in the movement of II CiS,iil iCFCI lIC AOllOu IocIt could handle same.
 The question is simply this, are the merchants and other business men going to sit idly by and see the labor ing men run from our midst? This is a serious proposition and 1 am going to appeal to you one more time to see if enough interest cannot be mani fested to get the officials of the Cot ton Belt before us and have them give us some reason for the treatment that Pine Bluff is receiving. feel that this apepal to you will have due consid- eratiOn in which 1 am willing to do all in my power to aid in any way called upon.
 Yours truly,
 SIMON BLOOM, Mayor.

Use C0tt0lene
 for cooking

When you shorten or fry your food with butter it is needless ex- travagance. Butter is too expen- sive for use anywhere but on your table. If butter were really bet ter, would produce better results in cooking, you would be justified in usingit, but it won't. Cottolene is fully the equal of butter for shortening; it is better for frying. It makes foodrich, but not greasy, because it heats to a higher temperature than lard or butter, and cooks so quickly that the fat has no chance to soak in." Cot solene is more healthfult thanlard, and you only need to use two thirds as much as you would of either butter or ~ lard. ~ ~ When you / N stop to consider RRzs!S hM that the price Il|G " l5l Il|7

4 RY. COM. APPOINTED
talk OF ELECTRIC LINE

Wednesday evening the members of
the Commercial Club discussed the feas-
ibility of organizing and trying to start
move that would eventually BRING q
north and south line of railroad. The
scheme most discussed was that of con-
structing an electric road from Dickin-
con to Mott. Just how to get at the
matter was not clear and it was decid-
ed to have committee to investigate
and report. w. L. Richar de, F. c.
Heffron and Alfred VIII ite were selected
to look into the matter and report.
The solid business men of Dickinson
are assuredly in favor of any legitimate
move looking toward new railroad,
but the sentiment of the Club Wednes-
day night was that they would fight
clear of any of C. F. Merry's paper
schemes. ..
Attorney W. F. Burnett made a re-
tport of the work that the Bismarck dele
cation had accomplished with the
committees in an effort to secure the
passage of the normal bill.
The club went on record as being
