The body was found lying on tho
banks of the San Antonio river at the
Honey Comb bridge, Breckenridge
Park, at 0:10 Sunday morning by Joe

Death, in the opinion of Judge r.

Cured late Saturday night.
There was nothing except labels on
his clothing and hat by which officers
might trace his identity. His under

the body is that of Pippett who is

QUARRELS BETWEEN
ROADS AND FARMERS
DECLARED SENSELESS
Sap Farm Agent Declares
"Political Pinheads"
Cause Trouble.

Agricultural development followed
the shore line Of oceans and lakes and
the course of rivers for nearly 5000
years of recorded history before rail.
roads made farming in the interior
profitable, according TO ii. NJ. Madi
son, general farm and immigration
agent of the $. 4. & 4. i.
As late as 1850 there were less than
100000 people living west of the
Mississippi river. and most of these
lived along the rivers or on the coast.
In the 40 years that have interviewed.
this population has increased to over
1I,00O,OO0. Great tracts of land that
had been considered semi-arid have
been found 10 be exceedingly fertile.
Agriculture in all interior sections
is absolutely dependent on railroads
and the railroads cannot exist without
agriculture. he said. Without the
jointure of agriculture and the rail-
roads the interior of the country
would waste away and become almost
as barren as the Sahara desert.
Hence Quarreling between the farm
ers and the railroads is as senseless
and destructive as domestic quarreis
and bring about as great social evil
as does divorce, in his opinion.
Mr.. Madison deplores the action Of
certain people. whom he terms 'po-
litical pinheads. hate-besmeared Boz
shevists" and radical self-seekers,"
and who go about talking of wa
tered stock. high rates and ineffic-
iency.' Well informed people know
that the United States has the lowest
freight rates of any country in the
world. other countries having rates
from four TO six times as high. 1t Is
reported that one auto manufacturer
| pays more income tax than is collect
table from railway stocks in the
United States. he adds.
Mr.. Madison thinks that people will
be in better position TO talk about the
iEefficiency Of railroads when they
manage their own business TO better
advantage. If the drainage and fence.
along railroads were as bad as on the
average farm, or if equipment were IA
better kept than farm implements and
the roadway no better than farm
roads. row many trains could be run
he asks.
