RAILROAD FAV0RS STRONG
ARM PLAN, IT APPEARS

Failing in two attempts to lay a
switch track at Twentieth and Rail-
road streets, within the past "a
hours, the Big Four railroad. dis
playing tactics of professional
trickster, was the object of keen
surveillance on the part OF the city
of Cairo all day yesterday and last
night, to prevent any repetition OF
the occurrences OF Sunday morning
and yesterday noon, when the COM
pany used prohibitiye means to put
in the much desired connection.
Following an effort early Sunday
morning to construct the line down
Railroad street, and the subsequent
prevention by the mayor and a po-
lice detail the railroad almost sue
ceded in gaining their end yester-
day at noon. 1t was only due to
the ability TO cope with the situa-
tion Of police officer on guard,
that the plan was frustrated.
Just after II o'clock, a work train
consisting of an engine, aud several
fiat cars belonging to the walsh
Construction company pulled up 60

Halliday -four mill. The cars con-

ties and ready to be thrown to the
position of the desired switch track.

the cars.

The commission was petitioned for a

Great Northern railroad and under

Wilson'S Troubles Begin.

WASHINGTON, March ll.-Presi.
dent Wilson may find . harder tack
before him than democratic leaders
expected to carry out their plan to re-
strict congress to the consideration Of
the tariff only at the special session
announced for April l. Although the
special session still is three weeks
away the president heard urgent pleas
today in behalf of two subjects which
democrats of influence believe should
be taken up and disposed of Is coon
as possible. Representative Glass,
prospective chairman OF the house
committee on banking and currency,
urged the necessity for immediate cor.
sideration OF currency reform, and
former state chairman Reifner of
Washington asked the president to
consider q recommend alton for the
immediate enactment of legislation
looking to the development of Alaska.

BETTER HIGHWAYS.
Good Roads Affects People Of Entire
Country,

No issue before the American peo-
pie affects the entire country more
than better highways. An excessive
tariff is burdensome to many, but at
least it is satisfactory to a few, while
bad roads injure all alike. To the
cities better roads mean increased
prosperity, on account of greater COM
merce with the country districts,
without which no city can maintain
her supremacy. To the railroads
good roads mean traffic and less
freight congestion, as the farmer can
haul his produce when it suits him
instead of having to wait for good
weather. Better roads also bring
more settlers, more tourists and more
industries, all of which the railroad
must have to live.
To the automobilist the improved
roads mean opportunities to get the
full use of the a every day, instead
of being obliged to wait until the high
ways happen to be in passable condi-
ton.
To the farmer better roads fire.
%quently mean the difference between
af1luence and bankruptcy. To illus.
trate: A Wisconsin farmer held
1000 bushels CT potatoes in his cellar,
waiting fer a good price. He was
offered 80 SCENTS in March, but the
potatoes must be delivered in town,
and the roads were in such condition
that delivery was impossible. When
the roads finally dried out he took
his potatoes to market and got 80
cents a bushel, The bad roads cost
him $500; as a consequence he is now
an ardent booster for any movement
which promises better facilities for

SOME SHEEP ON THE STUMBLE
Product Of Few Good Animals Nearly
All Profit.

The advantage of a small band Of
good sheep on each grain farm isn't
half appreciated. When sheep are
given a chance they will live on weeds
and waste products. When weed seeds
go into a sleeps stomach they cease
to be a menace and become a blessing
to the farm. There are quantities of
wild growth in grain fields that sheep
relish, and most OF the annual weeds
are put out of business by sheep. The
fallen grain heads and shattered heads
will make mutton, but are worse than
wasted if not eaten.
Fall wheat and rye. if sown early,
afford good pasture for sheep during
late fall, winter. and spring; and drr-
ing the time when the grain crop is
in the making natural pasturage is
abundant everywhere in breaks, cou.
lees, and on ground too rough to piow.
AL in all the product from a few
good sheep on the grain farm. whetho"
mutton, lambs, Or wool. comes abOyt
as near to clear profit without labor
as anything found IN the farm.-F. 3.
