JUST CORPORATION GREED.
Lafollette's Magazine says: "That
the one great obstacle to the devel-
opment of our "waterways Is the
opposition of the railroad companies,
Is the statement made by Commis-
sioner of Corporations Herbert Knox
Smith in his report to the president
on September 26. Says Commissioner
Smith: Probably the greatest single
deterrent to water terminal advance
In the United States Is the present
adverse attitude of all rail lines
toward independent water traffic, In
the exclusive control of frontage, In
refusal or neglect to co-ordlnato
with general water traffic, and In
refusal to pro-rate generally with
water lines in through movement of
traffic." In some cities, says Mr.
Smith, railroads own almost the en-
tire water frontage and are able to
stifle possible water competition.
Europe's rivers are busy arteries of
commerce. Europe s great natural
highways are used to carry com-
modities between producer and con-
sumer as cheaply as possible. Europe
looks upon her waterways as a
resource to be developed in the in-
tion. It is one of the largest pecan
markets in the world. Just at pres-
ent the streets are lined with wag-
ons loaded with pecans every day.
Already, more than three hundred
thousand pounds have been marketed
there. Present Indications are that
the crop marketed at Junction will
be more than five hundred thousand
pounds. This is a Southwest Texas
crop to which practically no atten-
tion whatever is given. It Is, nev-
ertheless, one of the most profitable
In the world. Some idea of the
possibilities if its development may
be gather'd from the fact that the
market price for pecans varies from
7 1-2 to 20 cents a pound. Few
other products In the world vary
so extensively in prlcev Throughout
the South, however, some small ef-
fort Is now being made to give at-
tention to the pecan trees, with a
view to improvement of the crop.
As a result of tills, the crop of some
of the better trees Is In demand
for use by the nurseries. The crop
of one tree at Junction has been
contracted for by a nursery for the
next five years at 31 cents a pound.
On some of the larger ranches of
Southwest Texas, where there are
several miles of river bottom, the
income from the pecans Is sufficient
to pay ten per cent Interest on the
money invested in the ranch, in
spite of the fact that absolutely no
care is given to the trees. As a
means for pointing out the value of
the pecan tree, the Texas State Nur-
seryman's Association has made an
offer to the public schools of the
state to supply the very finest of
trees to every schcol which will re-
quest the trees to be planted in the
school yards.
Efforts are also being made
throughout the state by several or-
the tree. In many places, trees
have been severely damaged by th
thrashing which brings down the
pecans.
The production of nuts of all
kinds In this country Is becoming
Increasingly important. Government
statistics show quite plainly that in
spite of the great progress made
with almonds, English walnutB, pe-
cans and others, the proportion of
the total of nuts Imported from oth-
er countries is steadily increasing.
Many persons consider this due to
the increased number of vegetarians
in this country, and there is sub-
stantial indication that this Is true.
Present market conditions point to
the pecan as one of the most pro-
fitable of southern crops.
LESSEES WILL LOSE
RIGHTS BY REFUSAL
Preference Will Not Be Left Open
for Holders After Sale
Chandler, Okla., Nov. 14.—Un-
derstanding that the attorney gener-
al has given an opinion upholding
the ruling of E. O. Cassidy when
secretary of the school land com-
mission, the school land sale has
announced that hereafter lessees
| who refuse lease holds when offered
for sale waive preferential rights.
The ruling of the attorney general
has not yet been examined in detail.
Lincoln county, however, is not to
nity, taken for the Kickapco reserva-
tion. The greater part of the land
to be sold in Oklahoma county next
week is of the same designation.

Washington, Nov. 14.—In order

of the Cunningham Alaskan coal
claims, which precipitated the Bal-
llnger-Pinchot investigation, Secre-
tary Ballinger will recommend in
his annual report that congress au-
thorize the placing of these cases un-
der the jurisdiction of the court of
appeals of the District of Columbia.

be handled under the opinion at the
' present series of sales for the reason
that the sales had been started be-
fore the opinion was given out and
lessees had been allowed to take
the appraisement tracts they had
formerly refused.
Superintendent Wood announced
today that after the Lincoln county
sales all lessees refusing tracts will
thereafter come in at subsequent
sales as bidders, qualifying as out
slders.
An unusually large number of
tracts had been tvfused here and
forty were put on sale in this series,
most of them being disposed of.
Fourteen tracts of state land were
sold here Monday and twelve were
left unsold. Eight were rejected by
lessees at appraisements and three
lessees were absent. There was only
one competitive bid. Half the tracts
offered had been rejected at former
sales. Excessive appraisements are
claimed by lessees to be the cause of
refusals and lack of bidding. The
tracts run from $240 to $300 In ap-
praisement. Practically all are occu-
pied by lessees.
Fifteen tracts of land in Lincoln
county, refused at the first sale less
than a year ago, were sold on the
first day of sales. All were sold at
appraisement. Nine tracts were re-
fused by lessees and three lessees
were absent. The tract refused by
a lessee was taken by a bidder at
appraisement. There were no sales
above appraisements. The entire of-
fering of twenty-six tracts, over
half of which was sold, was up last
year. Half of the second day's sales
were of the same class,
