" The railroads axe themselves forcing' th people, to consider publio owner ' ship aa a possible-, if not tne only; way to keep thee great cofporationawlthin -dua; bounds them- aerve ;'" publio, rather thaij private Interests. - They should be In -fact m'; welf jaa ln ! theory quasi-public corporations; ' they must certainly -be in a large measure made sub- - fervlent to -publio hterstr-sjd these great-corn Wnatlons, If termed leflr"ta-aeTVWh-ieTson8J-1nteresta of 'the .

In the Fox valley country the snow was piled up from three to five feet In depth. A good many of the stock men have a limited supply of hay on hand, but ethers are almost or entirely out. Ed Allen, who , is oae of the most experienced stockmen of the county, says that the situation has not been worse since-the spring of 1890. Rpeaklng of the conditions at that time. Mr. Allen said The spring had opened up pretty early and the stock were making k good living on the rsnge. But on ths 20th of March a deep snow fell, and the tem perature went down to 2H degrees be low sero. : It was more than three weeks beforn bare ground was again seen. and the loss of stock was something frightful. "That spring our firm shipped 8,800 pelts alone out of the country and the loss among cattle was enormous. The Prairie City section seems to be faring the best of any pert -t tn county, and there will probably be but little loss among the horn stock. '. It Is understood,: however,', that . a .large number of outside stock . had . been brought into the valley, both at that place and at Mt Vernon, and . among them were many that were very thin and weak.
