This is proper. The transporta tion question is of too great importance to simply leave it entirely within the control of the transportation companies. With an active, energetic and conscien tious commissicn, working on lines of justice to all of the interests effected, many of the existing wrongs will soon be nghted.

Robert Fulton will be duly honored at this exposition, when it is remembered that it was m 1803, in France, on the river Lowe, that Fulton made his initial experiment but after four years of patient study and after coming to America was he crowned with success. The House killed the bill which propos ed to let counties settle all matters of division by a popular vote. While there was justice in the bill, there was also a possibility of such a law creating dissen- tion where harmony along such matters now prevail. This state is rapidly de eloping and new commercial centers are being former with each passing year, if 1 .... ii oy pennon a county division proposi tion could be sprung at any time, there is no question but what new towns would oe continually aggitating for county division, with the object in view of be coming county seats, thereby causing more ' strife thruout the state that at present There is much that could be stated in favor of the passage of such a law and if the counties directly interest ed care to, they may submit such a bill to the people thru the initiative.

The markets all over the United States have been affected. It is stated by wholesale dealers that syrups, canned meats and lard have in creased in price but their labels have been changed. The labels now are sup posed to name the exact article which the can contains, when in many places the gaudy label formerly on th outside of the can was designed to cause the mouth of the purchaser to water with a longing for dainties not inside of the can. Instances are now named where syrups are now labeled "Maple Blend" instead of "Pure Maple Syrup". Labels on can ned meats are said to have been altered from "Canned Chicken" to "Potted meat Chicken Flavor." and "Deviled Ham" to "Canned Pork, Ham Flavor. the price in canned meats are said to advanced ten per cent to 15 per cent and those quoted on syrups from 6 per cent to 15 per cent.
