Williams a prom inent official of the Southern Pacific company's, immigration department. Williams tobt Snook that the com pany is now preparing for the great est tnulic ol hoineeekers lo northuni California that it has ever carried. Kvory new settler brought into the Sneinineuto valley or any other agri cultural district of northern Califor nia is looked upon bv the Southern Pacific as worth to it a fraction more than .fSU per vear, and it proposes to brinir thousand- from the eulern and middle, western states to thus in crease its oumiugs. This section of the Mate is looked upon as the most suitable for settle ment at this time, for the reason that abundant good land is offered at a cheap figure, whereat, the small str ings of the average middle wc-t fann er cannot buy him a sufficient amount of land at the high figure de manded in southern California. Within n stiort time the company "w ill begin Inndiug trninlonds of sel lers in Saornmouto and other valley cities, nnd will have its agents with them to aid them in getting properly located.

The letter was written only a few days before General Weaver died suddenly at the home of his daughter here. It follews: "Hon. W. D. Jainleson. Dos Moines, Iowa My Dear Sir: I have taken the time to think over the political situation In Iowa and have reached the definite conclusion that this state should support Champ Clark for president. Our delegation to the Ual tlmore convention should, every one of them, aggressively support his can didacy. "This Is emphatically Clark terri tory. Ills versatility and wide expe rience as a legislator, his long ac quaintance with the public men of the country and his thorough under standing of the motives of those who represent the almost omnipotent 'in terests' motives which arc never willingly-disclosed or admitted pre eminently Qualify him for the high position. "I say this not with any resent ment toward other candidates. They are all eminent men and small things should not be Introduced or consid ered. I am resolutely and unalter ably for Speaker Clark, and sincerely trust that Iowa will 30 align herself at Baltimore. With high regards, I am, very truly yours, "JAMES B. WEAVER." WASHINGTON.

Wliou (hoy stole the parrot, says Whelau, they had nothing but trouble with it until they finally sold it for 7 cents. Ho felt that there was Mimothiiig iiueaiiny about the bird, and begged Drown to reform.

This "co.-t of distribution," is blamed by the report for the exorbi tant per rentage swallowed up by the middleman' transaction of get ting the cotton goods from the mill to the consumer. The mill prices are in many ca.-e-equal at home nnd nbroad. the presi dent said, and in no ca.-e is the mill price in this country increased by nnything like the full amount of duty. "On the other hand," the menage continues, "the prices paid by con sumers here are Higher than those abroad, even where the prices receiv ed by the manufacturer are the same in both countries. This is tho result of a system of distribution under which the margin between the manu facturer's price and the retail price is much greater than abroad. This is partly due both to the higher cost of distribution and to the o-.tabli-.hod practice in the retail cotton trade of selliiijr fabrics, nt customary fixed or 'not' prices. Would Not Loner Cost. "L'nder the existing system of dis tribution a slight reduction of duties would in some cases materially re duce the price to the consumer while in other ca'-es a large reduction would not change the price to the American consumer." In conclusion tho president review ed the wool and cotton investigations of the tariff board and remarked that these had exhausted the board's ap propriation. He said: "The pressure under which these investigations and reports were made involved 11 greater outlay than will be necessary in the remaining schedules. Heretofore the expenditures of the board have averaged about .'lt',000 a month. The board advises me that -r-0,000 a mouth would enable them to continue their regular work iiMin other schedules. I therefore urge an appropriation of .$00,000 to enable the board to continue their valuable work during the months of April, .May and June."

Senator llnrnh of Idaho today told the senate what he thought were the lessons of the election of Sena tor Isaac Stephenson "Our friends who are opposed to the primary," said Borah, "have taken this opportunity to assail the primary system. With an excess of pleasure they point how It falls to. what no ono ever contended It woiibr do. uuiko alt candidates decent hud all men honest. "Our friends exclaim in unre strained derision that notwithstand ing your primary law corruption still lives omitting to state the most Im portant fact that iliotinh it still lives It stands exposed. Corruption can not live under the primary system If men have tho courage, as they will, to punish those who stand exposed "A primary system, with a corrupt practice act, will make It Impossible to control our elections by the use of money. "One of the very things for which I hold Senator Stephenson respon sible for In this campaign Is that he outorod tho race with his pockcthook for his platform. He says himself that after ho turned his financial agents loose without limit as to the amount or as to the use. ho seldom went near headquarters and met the people In no public gatherings. Ills oppouants made the mistake of per mitting him to nan the weapons and fix the rulos of the game and he de feated them.
