BILL INTRODUCED

SSenator Irvine Lenroot of Wiscon-
sin has introduced his bill providing
for the creation and organization of
the National Railway corporation, and
for the acquisition and control of rail
roads and water carriers by it.
The bill contemplates that gradu.
ally every railroad and water line in
the nation will be acquired by the
proposed corporation. Senator Len
root is said to be of the opinion that
the railways of the country, which are
now in distress. must be brought un.
der such unification as the only
alternative to government ownership
Senator Lenroot explains that the
bill does not repeal the Esch-Cummins
transportation act, but if his bill be-
comes law it will gradually make the
Esch-Cummins act unnecessary.

Virtually all the republics of South

SACK or FLOUR BROUGHT $40 600 A POUND
DURING THE CIVIL WAR, THE PROCEEDS FOR

Mrs. w. A. Johnson of Baraboo has
an account of -four being sold. fol
$40, 900 a pound during the Civil war
Among other things a ST. Louis paper
says:
The costliest -four that ST. Louis

high price people bought them by the

In 1864 the mining town of Austin,
New, was about to vote on the Ques-
ton as to whether it would incorpor-
ate and elect full set of town officers
On one side of the municipal contest
was a man named r. G. Gridley and
on the other side was citizen of the
name of Herrick.
Gridley bet Herrick that his side
would win: if it didn't he would carry
a sack of flour on his shoulder from
his cabin to Herrick's place at the
opposite side of the town, mile dis
tant. Herrick was to do the same If
he lost. There was a deal of wartime
political feeling, and it was agreed
that if Gridley, who was born in Ten
nessee but was loyal Northerner
should lose he would have TO keep
step to the music of "Old John Brown"
played by brass band engaged for the
occasion. If Herrick had to carry the
flour he would do the same thing to
the enlivening strains of Dixie"
Gridley's side lost, and all of the can
didates on Herrick's side were elected.
When it came time for Gridley to
make good on his election wager, there
was a tremendous outpouring of the
people to witness the event. The
crowd on the sidewalk and in the
street marched along, singing the
words of the familiar song until the
canyons fairly resounded with their
efforts. The sack of flour had been
decorated with red. white and blue
ribbons, with a small flag at each cor
me-.
After Gridley had turned the sack
over to Herrick the former offered to
pay him SIS for the flour Herrick at
once said that he could have it, and
that he would turn the money over

to the fund of the sanitary commits
sion which had been organized to re-
lieve suffering in the battlefelds and
the hospitals. This was the spark
that only needed to be ignited to
set on fire a noble project.
Bidding for Sack
Mr.. Armstrong, who had gone from
Milwaukee to the far West before the
war broke out, was witness OF the
affair, and he said that he wanted the
flour, too, and that he would give $50
for it. In a moment the idea seemed
to- blaze into the greatest enthusiasm
Gridley, Herrick and others kept on
bidding until the price reached $45,
when it was raised by $3.50 bids until
it got to $50.
At this juncture Mr.. Armstrong pro-
posed that the crowd march to Main
and Cedar streets, the principal cor
ner of the town, that the band should
go along and play "Dixie," just to put
the other side in good humor The
situation was announced to still lar
IL
ball rolling by bidding 5000 for the
flour. It ran up by fves and tens
until butcher bid $3.50. He funked
on his bid, but another citizen, named
M. ]. Moves, SAID that he would take
the butchers bid, and he paid the
money for the -four Moves offered
it to Gridley for 5000, and he took
it. Then the latter put it up again,
and the bidding continued until at the
close of the day the sack brought $6,-
soc.
Gridley then offered to take the
sack and sell it in all of the towns,
cities and villages in Nevada and
California, his expenses only to be de-
Quoted from the proceeds. He said
he would give three months of his
times free of charge.
The flour was sold over and over
again in many places in Nevada. FL
nally the flour was put into buck
skin sack and shipped to the sanitary
fair at ST. Louis. 1t was placed on spec
ial exhibition, and thousands paid Ii
berally to get look at it. After the
close of the fair the product of Cal
ifornia wheat field was mixed with a
great quantity of every day flour and
baked into ginger snaps that readily
sold for 81 cake. 1t has been esfim-
ated that upwards of $1,000,000 was
realized from the hundreds of sales
and its final disposition.
Mrs Johnson's brother, John NJ. Dem
nett, was residing in Nevada at the
time the -four was sold over and
over.
