BASIS OF FIRST OBJECTIONS Allegation is Sat Forth That Decrease in Traffic Makes Enact- ment a Burden. Washington American railways have made arrangements to comply with' the provisions of the "nine-hou-r law." The operation of the law will mean the employment by railroad com panies of several thousand additional, operators and the closing of a large number of small stations on the prin- cipal systems. Discontinuing of rail- way service at many points, it is thought, will induce at least temporary inconvenience to the traveling and shipping public in order to reduce ope- rating expenses, which now seems ne- cessary, the operating officials of the railways believe that this Is the. only way that they possibly can meet the situation with which they are con- fronted. During the hearing of applications for an extension of the nine-hou- r law by the Interstate Commerce commis- sion some astonishing statements were made by the operating officials of Important railways. A good many lines, owing to a reduction in their revenues and to their inability to com- mand the cash necessary to meet their pay rolls, have been forced, during the last four months, almost to the point or asking for receivers. In the opin- ion of railway officials, expressed at the hearing under oath and in private conversation, this condition does not seem to have been due to the enforce- ment of regulative laws or to the in- capacity of railway management Most, of the railway officials attribute the difficulty to the unfortunate banking situation, which developed last Sep- tember. The railways did not feel that stringency in money until about the first: of November. -- In fact, the month of October was one of the best in the history of the business of American railroading. "Then, without the slightest warn- ing," as H. U. Mudge, vice president and general manager of the Rock Isl- and system expressed it, "we were plunged from prosperity to adversity. A year ago our system could not handle the traffic offered us. Today we have 11,000 idle cars. Five months ago we suffered from a congestion of freight, now we suffer from a conges- tion of empty, cars." What Is true of the Rock Island is true also of scores of other railroads. One railway official ventured the state- ment that in the country today there were 300,000 idle freight cars, and one line which he instanced was declared to be hauling empty cars backward and forward because It had not yard room or sidings to accommodate them. TAMPA, FLA SUFFERS FIRE. it Fifty-fiv-e Acres of Tobacco Factories Burned.' Tampa, Fla. The entire extreme northern section of this city was de- stroyed by fire, which broke out in a boarding house early Sunday and raged uninterruptedly for three or four hours. The area burned covered fifty-fiv- e acres or eighteen and one-ha- lf city blocks and 308 buildings were destroyed with a total loss es- timated at $600,000 and one woman is dead from exeitement. The burned section included four large and one smaller. factory and nu- merous restaurants, saloons and board- ing houses, and over 200 dwelling? oc- cupied by cigarmakers. Insurance is estimated at about half the loss. Gasoline Cars Approved. . St Paul. Minn. A special to the Pioneer Press from Madison, Wis., says that the Wisconsin Railroad commission has dismissed a complaint against the use of gasoline motor cars between Madison and Freeport, 111., on the Illinois Central railroad. The complaint was made on the ground that the motor wsb "dangerous and inadequate as a means of locomotion." The commission in dismissing the complaint, held that the use of the motor cars marks an advance in rail- roading and will result beneficially. Great Northern Makes Terms. Spokane, Wash. A satisfactory set- tlement of the difference between the Great Northern railway and Its tele- graph operators has been reached, ac- cording to a message sent to oper- ators on the San Francisco and Northern division by S. T. Moore, del- egate of that division to the confer- ence held in St Paul with Great Northern officials.

The greatest drawback to the hog Industry which breeders in this coun- try have to contend with is what 13 known as "hog cholera" and "swine plague." . Hog cholera is a highly coMaglous disease and unless checked is liable to carry off a great number of hogs in a very short time. . Mr. A. P. Williams, of Burnetts Creek, Ind., tells of an experience-whic- h he had with some hogs that had the cholera. "Five years ago," says Mr. Williams, "I was in the em- ploy of Mr. J. D. Richardson, Lafay- ette, Ind., as his barn foreman. Some fine hogs that I was feeding took the cholera. I gave them Sloan's Lini- ment and did not lose a hog. Some were so bad they would not drink sweet milk and I was compelled to drench them. I have tried it at every opportunity since and always find it O.K." Write for Dr. Sloan's free book on the treatment of Horses, Cattle, Hogs, and Poultry. Address: Dr. Earl S. Sloan, 15 Albany Street, Boston, Sunday School Leseons for the World. A power greater than that of kings seems to .have been wielded by the little group of thoughtful men who gathered at the Fenway residence of W. N. Hartshorn to select the les- sees for the Sunday schools of the world, says the Boston Herald. Every year they gather to make this choice, and when a decision has been reached the lessons are handed out to the printers snd by them literally scat- tered over the planet The word thus goes forth not in one but in scores of languages. Europe and Africa, east and west, north and south, get these helps to religious study in the vernac- ular. There is a supply for Hawaii. Japaa and the Islands of the sea. For India alone 40 dialects have to be pro- vided for. Some 500,000,000 Sunday school leaflets are thus distributed every year. Wonderful Phraseology. A party of American tourists who were comfortably established in a ho- tel in Germany discovered a new con- tribution to "English as she is spoke," only this time they found it in the written word. The building had been recently wired for electricity and un der the bulbs in each -- room directions were posted in French, German and English. The French was Irreproach- able, the German nearly so. The Eng- lish read as follows: 'To open and hut the lightening electrical on, is re- quested to turn to the right hand. On going to bed it must be closed. Other- wise the lightening must be paid." OLD SURGEON Found Coffee Caused Hands fa Tremble, The surgeon's duties require clear Judgment and a steady hand. A slip or an unnecessary incision may do ir- reparable damage to the patient When he found that coffee drinking caused his hands to tremble, an Ills, surgeon conscientiously gave it up and this is bis story. "For years I was a coffee drinker until my nervous system was nearly broken down, my bands trembled so I could hardly write, and Insomnia tor- tured me at night "Besides, how could I safely, per- form operations with unsteady hands, using knives and instruments or pre cision? When I saw plainly the bad effects of coffee, I decided to stop it and three years' ago I prepared some Postum, of which I had received a sample. "The first cupful surprised me. It was nrild, soothing, delicious. At this time I gave some Postum to a friead who was in a similar condition to mine, from the use of coffee. "A fewdays after. J met him and, he was full of praise for Postum, de- claring he would never return to' cof- fee but stick to Postum. We then or- dered a full supply and within a short time my nervousness and consequent trembling, as well as Insomnia, disap- peared, blood circulation became nor- mal, no dizziness nor heat flashes. "My friend became a Postum en- thusiast, his whole family using it ex- clusively. "It would be the fault of the one who brewed the Postum, if it did not taste good when served. "The best food may be spoiled if not properly made. Po3tum should be boiled according to directions on the j pkg. Then it is ajl right anyone caa rely on it It ought to become the ( national drink."

We also had 50 tons of hay worth $13.00 per ton, and 500 bushels of po- tatoes, worth 60 cents per bushel, the latter off 2ft acres of ground. Our best yields this year were 107 : cres of wheat, making 41 bushels per acre at $1. 00 per bushel, would be $41.00 per acre; 47 acres of oats, yield- ing 95 bushels per acre were sold for 50 cents per bushel. Proceeds. $47.00 per acre. I might add that 50 acres of our oats were "stubbled in." During the spring of 1906, we hired about 300 acres broken by steam.

REhTT FOR HEW LAW

RAILROADS WILL OBSERVE STATUTE REDUCING HOURS.

BASIS OF FIRST OBJECTIONS

Allegation is Sat Forth That Decreasein Traffic Makes Enact-

ment a Burden.

Washington American railwayshave made arrangements to complywith' the provisions of the "nine-hou-r

law." The operation of the law willmean the employment by railroad companies of several thousand additional,operators and the closing of a largenumber of small stations on the prin-cipal systems. Discontinuing of rail-way service at many points, it isthought, will induce at least temporaryinconvenience to the traveling andshipping public in order to reduce ope-

rating expenses, which now seems ne-

cessary, the operating officials of therailways believe that this Is the. onlyway that they possibly can meet thesituation with which they are con-

fronted.During the hearing of applications

for an extension of the nine-hou- r lawby the Interstate Commerce commis-sion some astonishing statementswere made by the operating officialsof Important railways. A good manylines, owing to a reduction in theirrevenues and to their inability to com-

mand the cash necessary to meet theirpay rolls, have been forced, during thelast four months, almost to the pointor asking for receivers. In the opin-

ion of railway officials, expressed atthe hearing under oath and in privateconversation, this condition does notseem to have been due to the enforce-ment of regulative laws or to the in-

capacity of railway management Most,of the railway officials attribute thedifficulty to the unfortunate bankingsituation, which developed last Sep-

tember. The railways did not feel thatstringency in money until about thefirst: of November. -- In fact, the monthof October was one of the best in thehistory of the business of Americanrailroading.

"Then, without the slightest warn-ing," as H. U. Mudge, vice presidentand general manager of the Rock Isl-and system expressed it, "we wereplunged from prosperity to adversity.A year ago our system could nothandle the traffic offered us. Today wehave 11,000 idle cars. Five monthsago we suffered from a congestion offreight, now we suffer from a conges-tion of empty, cars."

What Is true of the Rock Island istrue also of scores of other railroads.One railway official ventured the state-ment that in the country today therewere 300,000 idle freight cars, and oneline which he instanced was declaredto be hauling empty cars backward andforward because It had not yard roomor sidings to accommodate them.

TAMPA, FLA SUFFERS FIRE.

itFifty-fiv-e Acres of Tobacco Factories

Burned.'Tampa, Fla. The entire extreme

northern section of this city was de-

stroyed by fire, which broke out in aboarding house early Sunday andraged uninterruptedly for three or fourhours. The area burned coveredfifty-fiv- e acres or eighteen and one-ha- lf

city blocks and 308 buildingswere destroyed with a total loss es-timated at $600,000 and one woman isdead from exeitement.

The burned section included fourlarge and one smaller. factory and nu-

merous restaurants, saloons and board-ing houses, and over 200 dwelling? oc-

cupied by cigarmakers. Insurance isestimated at about half the loss.

Gasoline Cars Approved.. St Paul. Minn. A special to thePioneer Press from Madison, Wis.,says that the Wisconsin Railroadcommission has dismissed a complaintagainst the use of gasoline motor carsbetween Madison and Freeport, 111.,

on the Illinois Central railroad. Thecomplaint was made on the groundthat the motor wsb "dangerous andinadequate as a means of locomotion."The commission in dismissing thecomplaint, held that the use of themotor cars marks an advance in rail-roading and will result beneficially.

Great Northern Makes Terms.Spokane, Wash. A satisfactory set-

tlement of the difference between theGreat Northern railway and Its tele-graph operators has been reached, ac-

cording to a message sent to oper-ators on the San Francisco andNorthern division by S. T. Moore, del-

egate of that division to the confer-ence held in St Paul with GreatNorthern officials. According to ad-

vices received here the railroads hadagreed to live up to the provisions ofthe nine-hou- r law and wil! proceedto arrange working hours.

Hog Cholera.The greatest drawback to the hog

Industry which breeders in this coun-try have to contend with is what 13

known as "hog cholera" and "swineplague." .

Hog cholera is a highly coMaglousdisease and unless checked is liableto carry off a great number of hogs ina very short time. .

Mr. A. P. Williams, of BurnettsCreek, Ind., tells of an experience-whic- h

he had with some hogs thathad the cholera. "Five years ago,"says Mr. Williams, "I was in the em-ploy of Mr. J. D. Richardson, Lafay-ette, Ind., as his barn foreman. Somefine hogs that I was feeding took thecholera. I gave them Sloan's Lini-ment and did not lose a hog. Somewere so bad they would not drinksweet milk and I was compelled todrench them. I have tried it at everyopportunity since and always find itO.K."

Sunday School Leseons for the World.A power greater than that of kings

seems to .have been wielded by thelittle group of thoughtful men whogathered at the Fenway residence ofW. N. Hartshorn to select the les-

sees for the Sunday schools of theworld, says the Boston Herald. Everyyear they gather to make this choice,and when a decision has been reachedthe lessons are handed out to theprinters snd by them literally scat-tered over the planet The word thusgoes forth not in one but in scoresof languages. Europe and Africa, eastand west, north and south, get thesehelps to religious study in the vernac-ular. There is a supply for Hawaii.Japaa and the Islands of the sea. ForIndia alone 40 dialects have to be pro-

vided for. Some 500,000,000 Sundayschool leaflets are thus distributedevery year.

Wonderful Phraseology.A party of American tourists who

were comfortably established in a ho-

tel in Germany discovered a new con-

tribution to "English as she is spoke,"only this time they found it in thewritten word. The building had beenrecently wired for electricity and under the bulbs in each -- room directionswere posted in French, German andEnglish. The French was Irreproach-able, the German nearly so. The Eng-lish read as follows: 'To open andhut the lightening electrical on, is re-

quested to turn to the right hand. Ongoing to bed it must be closed. Other-wise the lightening must be paid."

OLD SURGEON

Found Coffee Caused Hands faTremble,

The surgeon's duties require clearJudgment and a steady hand. A slipor an unnecessary incision may do ir-

reparable damage to the patientWhen he found that coffee drinking

caused his hands to tremble, an Ills,surgeon conscientiously gave it up andthis is bis story.

"For years I was a coffee drinkeruntil my nervous system was nearlybroken down, my bands trembled so Icould hardly write, and Insomnia tor-

tured me at night"Besides, how could I safely, per-

form operations with unsteady hands,using knives and instruments or precision? When I saw plainly the badeffects of coffee, I decided to stop itand three years' ago I prepared somePostum, of which I had received asample.

"The first cupful surprised me. Itwas nrild, soothing, delicious. At thistime I gave some Postum to a frieadwho was in a similar condition tomine, from the use of coffee.

"A fewdays after.J met him and,he was full of praise for Postum, de-

claring he would never return to' cof-

fee but stick to Postum. We then or-

dered a full supply and within a shorttime my nervousness and consequenttrembling, as well as Insomnia, disap-peared, blood circulation became nor-

mal, no dizziness nor heat flashes."My friend became a Postum en-

thusiast, his whole family using it ex-clusively.

"It would be the fault of the onewho brewed the Postum, if it did nottaste good when served.

"The best food may be spoiled ifnot properly made. Po3tum should beboiled according to directions on the j

pkg. Then it is ajl right anyone caarely on it It ought to become the (

national drink." "There's a Reason."Name given by Postum- - Co., BattleCreek, Mich. Read "The Road to .

WeUville." in pkfs. I

After it harriedthe menial, but he was too late; apasserby had picked it up aad walkedoff with it Stedman began to wonderwhat book he had thrown away, andto his horror discovered that it wasa quaint and rare little volume forwhich he had paid $50. His chagrinwas intense, as the work was almostunique and the prospects of replacingit were remote.

Some time afterward, when brows-ing in a second-han- d book shop, oar'splenetic poet banker perceived to his.great delight a copy of the very bookhe had lost He asked the price. "It'svery rare," replied the dealer, "but asyou are aa old customer 111 let yoahav It fnr S4fl- - nnhnrlv olA maUhave it for less thaa $60."

HE REALIZED $3S FEB ACRE. HISOATS $37 PER ACRE IN SOUTH-

ERN ALBERTA, WESTERNCANADA.

Coaldale. Alts, Can.. Nov. 19, 1907.Sir: I beg to say that this year we

had 349 acres of grata, consisting of197 acres of spring wheat aad 152acres of oats. The average yield ofwheat was 38 bushels per acre andoats 74 bushels. We were offered I

$1.09 per bushel for wheat aad 50cents for oats, making the acre val-ues for the two crops $38.00 and $37.00respectively.

We also had 50 tons of hay worth$13.00 per ton, and 500 bushels of po-

tatoes, worth 60 cents per bushel, thelatter off 2ft acres of ground.

Our best yields this year were 107: cres of wheat, making 41 bushels peracre at $1. 00 per bushel, would be$41.00 per acre; 47 acres of oats, yield-ing 95 bushels per acre were sold for50 cents per bushel. Proceeds. $47.00per acre.

I might add that 50 acres of our oatswere "stubbled in."

During the spring of 1906, we hiredabout 300 acres broken by steam. Weput in and harvested 55 acres of grainlast year, did the remainder or ourbreaking, worked up the ground andseeded this yrs entire crop, put inseven acres ot alfalfa and five acresof garden potatoes, trees, etc.. allwith one four-hors- e team. During har-vest we hired other teams, but asidefrom this, and part of the breaking,the one team did the work of raisingpractically 19,000 bushels of grain,worth $12,000.

Yours truly,W. H. PAWSON, JR.
