On a Pass. It was during a tedious ride on t Western railway, and the passengers tired, dirty and thirsty, all berated the company, with the exception ol one single man.

"After using Grape-Nuts a short time I began to improve and all these ailments have disappeared, and now I am a well woman.

Building Boom Announced b) Chairman L H. Gary. ????? ; SMALL MILLS FORCED FIGH1 Big Manufacturers Wage a Campaigi of Extermination?Open Rattle - by Reduction of From $3 to $4 i Per Ton. New York City. ? A wide oper market was officially announced b3 Elbert H. Gary, head of the Steel Trust. Several hours before the forI mal announcement the Carnegie Steel , Company, one of the chief Bubsidi.i' i ries of the trust, was closing coni tracts in Pittsburg at prices ranging from $3 to $4 a ton under the agreed schedule. The Steel Trust had begun to shoot into the ranks of ita lesser rivals five hours before the 1 formal declaration of war. A wide open market for steel baa stupendous significance. For months i there has been stagnation in many I industries which ordinarily consume [ j great quantities of steel, the high prices fixed and adhered to by the t largest manufacturers frightening buyers. It has been eight years, or 3ince the spring of 1901, when the ' trust was created, that there has been an open market for steel products. Rails are the only product not afi fected by the cut. They will stand at $28 per ton. I The consequences of the open mar1 ket are expected to be sweeping and ' of a mixed character, beneficent in \ aome ways, evil in others. . | A great revival in the build 'ng trades is looked for, which will give employment to hundreds of thou' sands of men in all parts of the country and bring into active use the tens af millions of dollars which are prac, tically lying idle in the vaults of banks and trust companies, i A greater consumption of its products means not only more work for more men in the many plants of the 3teel making industry, but more work for more men where the crude are is mined and more work for more men on the railroads and lake steamships which transport the raw and manufactured products. That is the bright side of a wide open steel market. The other side promises a picture which will show the destruction of many of the little Independent steel making concerns which will be financially Incapable of withstanding the strain of competition with the billion dollar corporation. Some of these little concerns are the sole support of small communities. With the doors closed, the chimneys smokeless, the machinery i going to rack and ruin from non-use, the homes of the idle workmen will , close up one by one and the community vanish in all likelihood. .
