II $40 becomes the standard prict

dent Wilson's administration will be
embarrassed. The explanation giver
is an increased demand for shoes anc
no corresponding increase in the sup
ply of hides, which the shoe manufac
turers claim, are controlled by the beei
packers. Very fine; but the average
consumers reasoning will refuse tc
reach, so far. On the one hand, he will
see a lowered tariff and on the other
dearer shoes, conditions which he will
be unable TO reconcile.
Early in the present administration
it was announced that there would b,

, concerned. For that reason the Far
wells found it impossible to sell the
land to an English syndicate. SO that
they decided to organize a cattle COM
pany which should utilize these
ranches. That, however, did not sue
coed very we'll
AT last the Farwells were able to
make what they thought was an ex-
tremely good trade. They swapped the
Texas lands for some mining proper
ties In Northern Minnesota, which were
presumed to have a more marketable
quality than the Texas lands These
mining lands were bonded, and in that
! way gradually disposed OF. SO that at
last the Farwells, in this indirect man
ner. realized upon their Texas contract.

That the discovery was made OF the
enormous wealth which was in these
iron mines Some of them passed into
the possession of John ID. Rockefeller.
have heard ii estimated that the min
eral lands which the Farwells pos
sessed would have yielded them. II they
mad been living at the time of the great
development OF iron mines of Northern
Minnesota, from thirty to forty million
dollars
That, Of course, is a rough estimate,
but there is no doubt that these mines
were worth many millions, although
their extraordinary richness and money
value were not demonstrated until
some years after the Farwells parted
with their property-in fact 1 think,
not until some years after the death Of
both brothers
But, said Mr.. Requa meditatively,
there are good many cases of un-
suspected wealth which men of good
judgment and excellent forecast have
let slip through their hands only to be
discounted a little later by the realiza-
tion of their lost opportunitiaa"

1t Is reasonably to be hoped that
President Wilson will not permit the
delay which has fatedly followed the
Union Station plaza awards to con-
tinue now that the recommendations OF
the Department of Justice in favor OF
the paying of the awards have reached
the White House.
Public officials, being the trustees OF
the people, ought, of course, to guard
the peoples money against all possible
misapplication. In the present instance,
when the awards of the condemnation
proceedings jury have been in the hands
of the government officials so long, the
duty of the officials in keeping watch
over the public moneys would seem to
have been done. The owners of the
properties condemned have been kept
waiting overlong, and the President
should expedite the last and final pro-
ceedings.

A Tai for Nai;sss.

An international problem of santa
ton must certainly suffice to try the
ingenuity of scientists. The local prob
lens of single cities at times seem i'm
possible of solution, and when the re-
ports of pollution Of the waters of the
rivers and lakes forming part of the
boundary between the United States and
Canada are set before the public the
average laynnan' naturally is appalled, at
the immensity of present task and pos
sible disasters. Such reports, submit
ted yesterday by the joint international
commission on the boundary between
the United States and Canada, viii COM
mand, however, the attention of the best
sanitarians of the world, as DR.. Allan
]. Laughlin, of the Public Health Serv-
ice, said they should. and with the
amity existent between the two coun-
tries concerned a remedy to the evils
will be found.
The commission has not, under treaty,
any authority directly to ameliorate con-
ditions, but its influence toward their
betterment is, of course, very large.
Probably its greatest obstacles will lie
in the selfish projects of the several
cities most affected. Detroit, for ex-
ample, plans to obtain its water supply
from Lake Huron, fed by Lake Su-
perior, instead of from Lake St. Clair,
as at present, and it is inevitable that
tn. arrangements, present and proposed,
of municipalities having variant inter
ests will conflict with each other and
with any general scheme that the COM
mission might devise. But the several
cities can, and doubtless will, afford also
the greatest aid that the commission
will have.
The amity between Canada and this
country is such that the scientists of the
two countries would most probably have
every opportunity, with no deterrent
friction, to work out a general scheme
just to all parties.

State Exposiions Here.

A project of magnitude and great
possibility is embraced in the bill intro
duced in the Senate by Mr.. Myers, OF
Montana. The plan to establish in the
National Capital great permanent ex-
position of the products and resources
of the States of the Union is not a
new one, but Senator Myers bill puts
it in more tangible form.
1t provides for commission to in
vestigate and report to Congress upon
the expediency of the setting apart by
the Federal government of tract OF
its land in or near Washington suffi-
cient in area to permit each State and
Territory TO construct at its own ex-
pense building suitable for the main-
tenancc therein of permanent exhibit
illustrative of its natural industrial,
and educational resources" The COM
mission is to be composed of the Sec
rotary of Agriculture, the chairmen OF
the House and Senate Committees on
Industrial Expositions. The commits,
sion is to designate the most suitable
site and report not later than March
?, 1915.
A project such as this suggests end
less benefits. It will, of course, be
necessary, before an actual start car
be made, to secure the cooperation Of
at least half a dozen of the important
States, SO that the constructive work
may be begun on harmonious lines
Once under way, no doubt the Other
States would hasten to join the. process.

n WAS present one afternoon, two or

= formal gathering of business men
in New York City, and heard some
very interesting anecdotes of the mar
row chances by which this or that busi-
ness man had either escaped bank
ruptcy or, on the other hand, had failed
to realize an enormous fortune when
it was unconsciously within reach.

Chicago, would have thought had any
one said to them that they had in
their hands at one time the possibilities
of a fortune of many million dollars.
~ v. Farwell was one of the clever
est headed of business men, possessing
remarkable capacity for accurate
foresight. His brother, whom every
body calls Charlie" was United

~. v, Farwell, and, / presume, his
brother also, secured a contract from
the State of Texas for the erection of
State house at Austin. The agree
ment was that 1t was to be paid for
with a very large amount Of Texas
land-several million acres. The con-
tract was fulfilled by the Farwells in
generous measure. and 1t was presumed
that they would be adequately paid by
this grant of State land
