Harmonious Throughout.

Today's conference was the first
formal meeting Of republican lead
ers since the 1912 campaign, and it
was harmonious from the time Chair
man Charles D. Hilles of the ma
tional committee called for order un-
til the last motion was adopted. The
need for reform within the party
was not denied The suggestion of
the progressive element for ma
tional convention in the near future
was heard and it was practically the
unanimous opinion that such a con-
yention should be called. 1t was
decided to submit this question 10
the national committee and the agree
ment of opinion among the execu-
tive committeeman was taken as an
indication of what might be expect
ed from the larger body.
Plans for the campaign agreed
upon include cooperation by the
national committee with the con-
gressional campaign committee
through headquarters to be estab
lished here in July. Secretary Jas.
B. Reynolds of the national com
mittee will be in charge.
A committee was selected to con-
siuer questions affecting contests be.

electing delegates to the national
conventions. The committee is eX~
pected to advise the national COM
mittee whether it has authority to
change the basis of representation.
The executive committee was not
agreed upon this question and legal
advice was thought advisable. 1t
was the general opinion, however,
that a national convention would
be called in any event.

Arrangements are being made
by local railway officials for the
transportation of $4,000 steers
which are to be shipped from the
enormous ranch of the Corral

factions. Six ships have been
chartered to carry the cattle and
each is expected to make ten
voyages, while several acres S
near the Chalmette stock yards
have been leased for use as tenn

is expected about August 1st.

EXPRESS RATES
TO BE MUCH LESS

The proposed reduction of ex-
press rates throughout the coun-
try has been approved by the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
In a decision which will be made
public shortly the commission
will announce its rejection of the
pleas made by the express COM
panies that the proposed rates
are discriminatory and confsca-
tory.
The public will be given the
benefit of reductions averaging
from 25 to so per cent on pack
ages Of five pounds and under
and from 10 to 80 per cent on
the heavier parcels. The new
rates will go into effect as soon
as the decision is published.
The reduction of parcels post
rates in the first two zones and
the increase of the weight limit
to twenty pounds as announced
by Postmaster General Burleson
recently will tend still furthur to
compel the express companies to
charge less than the maximum
rates in such territories.
The new system not only rep
resents tremendous saving to
every express shipper, but is de-
signed to obviate double collection
of charges, discrimination be-
tween shippers, indirect routing,
and unreasonable delays, unreas-
enable terms of shipment, exces-
sive insurance charges, delays in
settlement of losses, and other
evils for which the express SER
vice has been notorious.

SUITS FILED AGAINST
TRUST COMPANY

Alleging that they were cajoled
into purchasing stock in the I'm

payment of the same, and that
they have not been able either to

superior court of Maricopa county
yesterday asking for temporary
injunction to prevent the Union

posing of the notes, and that up
on full hearing of the case the
injunction be not only made per-
manent, but also that the sub
seriptions for stock. and the notes
be returned to the original givers

used funds which were about to
be placed out on good secur-
ity, than any bank in the state,
and that as a result of the large
working found the bank had
invested in, its preferred and COM

GOOD ROADS
DOUBLE VALUES

In Lee county, Virginia, a
farmer owned 100 acres between
Ben Hur and Jonesville, which he
offerd to sell for 81, 800. In 1908
this road was improved, and, al
though the farmer fought the i'm
provement, he has since refused
So. 900 for his farm. Along this
same road a tract of 1873 acres
was supposed to have been sold
for Sc, 600. The purchaser refused
the contract, however, and the
owner threatened to sue him.
After the road improvement, and
without any improvement upon
the land, the same farm was
sold to the original purchaser for
SO, 900.
In Jackson county, Alabama;
the people voted a bond issue of
$3.50, 900 for road improvement
and improved "a per cent of the
roads. The census of 1900 gives
the value of all farm lands in
Jackson county at 81. 80 per acre.
The selling value at that time was
from So to SIS per acre. The cen
sus of 1910 places the value of all
farm lands in Jackson county at
SO, 70 per acre, and the selling
price is now from $15 to $25 per
acre. Actual figures of increased
value following road improve
ment are shown.
AS the roads in no way effect
soil fertility and quality of the
farm, advances are due essen
TALLY to the decrease in the cost
of hauling produce to market or
shipping points. Farms are now
regarded as plants for the bust
ness of farming, and any reduction
in their profits through unneces-
sary heavy costs for hauling on
bad roads naturally reduces their
capitalization into value. With
reduced costs for hauling, prof
it's are increased; with the result
that the farm plant shows salts
factory earnings on higher cap
ital value.
The automobile also has begun
to be an important factor in in
creasing rural values where good
roads are introduced.
immigration is very mark
ed where road conditions are fav-
orable; in fact, figures of the dep
artment seem to inicate that
good roads indirectly increase the
demand for rural property; and
the price of farm land, like that
of any commodity, is ruled by the
relation between demand and
supply,

Game Will Be Played Between Two
Famous Teams at North Red
wood, Sunday Afternoon

Next Sunday afternoon if the wea-

have an opportunity to see the Red
wood bail team carefully trim Lucan.
The game will be called at $3.50
o'clock and will be played on the
North Redwood diamond thereby CIV
ing neither nine the advantage of its
own field.
It is rumored that Sleepy Eye will
play North Redwood at the same
place and the same afternoon. Up to
the present writing this rumor has not
been verified.
Lucan swears dire vengeance for
the nine points our boys scored in the
last contest. The team are good los
ers and have the necessary snappiness
to make Sundays game no sinecure
for the Redwood team. Everything
seems propitious for making Sundays
contest an interesting one from the
very beginning.

Game Warden Fines
For Running Dogs
Bird Dogs Must Be Kept From Field
Until Seasons Opening, Sept
, ember Seventh

Game Warden Keefe has found sew
eral young men guilty of running
their bird dogs out of season.
The law is very stringent on this
point-and very emphatically stated
in the bylaws pertaining to this mat
ter.
There shall be no running of dogs
until the season for chicken shooting
which opens September seventh and
closes November first. The law is
quite as emphatic in this statement as
it is that there shall be no shooting
before that time.
The gentlemen who were ignorant
of this law and fined by Warden Keefe
were Arthur Tanke, Henry Kanoko-
WITT, Henry Able, Aug. Juneman,
Helm Blanert and Carl Lindeman.
They all paid their fines and promised
to be good-also wise.
Mr. Keefe asserts that there will be
large numbers of chickens ready for
the autumn sportsmen, and he is very
anxious that they be left unmolested

The seven-year old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Thos. Arnett sustained a very
serious cut on his foot last Wednesday
evening.
While playing near the Hockett
Studio, the boy stepped from the curb
onto piece of broken glass. The
glass entered his foot making a cut at
least two inches in depth, and COM
pletely severing the two main arteries
Of the foot.
He was seen at once by H. Swain
and T. Olson who carried him imme-
diately to DR.. Films Office. Had
these gentlemen not taken the pre-
caution to hold the ankle tightly, thus
checking the blood-how the child
would have bled to death in very
short time.
After the tieing Of the arteries the
child was taken to Mrs. F. Warmers
home and put in the care Of trained
nurse. He was removed to his own
home Friday and is recovering SPLEEN

Canning Factory
Now Operating
At FulI Capacity
New Machinery And New Processes
Add Much to Productivity Of
Plant
SANITARY AND UP-TO-DATE
Establishment, Force and Capacity
Much Enlarged Since Last
Season

Robbins Brothers started operations
in the Scenic City Canning Factory
last week. With seven girls busily
engaged in the husking and peeling
room, as many more boys, and men at
work in their forty acre garden, and
the machines humming merrily filling
and sealing cans with selected home
grown vegetables, the place is busy
one.
The factory this year is not the in
stitution that it was year ago. New
building, new machinery, and new
methods throughout have done much
to transform the plant into surpris-
ingly businesslike place where the
most modern and up-to-date principles
of preserving vegetables and fruit are
in practice.
One of the most interesting features
connected with the plant is the prac-
,tical arrangement of everything, and
the perfect sanitation, and cleanliness
in every department.
All Requirements Met
The husking and peeling room where
the girls are employed is a faiY ex-
ample of this. This room is separate
from all the machinery--a feature
which reduces the possibility Of acct
dents to minimum. It is on the floor
above the picking room, and the ven
tilation sanitation and light more than
meets the requirements of the law to
insure the health and comfort Of the
workers.
) Between this room and the one be-
low where the bulk of the machinery
stands, is the scalding room. Here
there is a large copper kettle and
scalding tank. A trolley system con-
veys the wire basket from one recep-
tacle to the other. *
Machinery Simply Marvellous =.
The process or main room is per-
haps the busiest department. Here
canning is done with the aid of can
filling and cooking machine which has
capacity of twenty thousand cans
per day.
A double scanning machine, con-
trivance of almost human activity,
takes the filled can and seals it with
out solder. This apparatus will seal,
Theoretically, twenty thousand cans
per day.
Sealing the cans without solder is

other three occupants were Mrs. Com
stock of Minneapolis and her little
son, and Joe Pistulka of Seaforth.
The Comstock boy received serious in
ternal injuries which, it is feared-will
prove fatal.
Mrs. Ccmstock is badly injured
about the back and hips and Mr..
Pistulka received injuries in the limbs
and back.
The party had been spending Sum
day with friends at Currie and were
on their way home when the accident
happened. Glenn Connor had re-
manned in Currie and so escaped the
fate of the rest of the party.
Great Carelessness Shown
Mr.. Corns states that he, his broth
er, Lewis Corns, DIR. Stewart and
others were seated in front of the
hotel when the accident occurred, and
witnessed the entire tragedy. He al
so stated emphatically that the engine
was being driven at an unusually and
unnecessarily rapid rate, and there
were no evidences of precautions, con-
tingent upon crossing drives, having
been taken by the engineer. There
was no fagman at the crossing.
Immediately after the accident the
injured ones were taken to the Som
mers Hospital in Tracy and the best
of attention given their injuries.
Dr. Aldrich in talking of the case
this morning said the injured mem
bers of the party are at the Sommers
Hospital with the exception of Miss
Connors and Mr.. Pistulka who are at
the Exchange Hotel. Mrs. Comstock
and her SON are both in very serious
condition and the outcome is doubtful
The little boy is partially paralyzed
on the left side and one eye is badly
injured.
Coroner Renders Verdict
The coroner Of Lyon County, DR..
Robinson, gave verdict of death due
to accident caused by lack Of neces-
sary precautions. This places the
blame pretty largely upon the railway
