Commissioner Fink says the various reports
of ratecutting are so grossly exaggerated as TO
be unreliable. He says that certain reductions

Having crossed the Coosa, the Georgia Pacific
continues to push steadily and rapidly toward
Birmingham Last week nearly three miles Of

The incomplete tunnel is now the chief OBJ

The Oregon Short-line, which the Union Pa

Northern Pacific for Oregon business, mas
where it branches OF from the main line of the

five or eli hty miles of Snake river, and from one
and half to three miles of rails are laid DAILY,
the gap Will soon be filled. With the hfty-seven

operation, there some 502 miles of the Short

TRUNK-LINE POOL.

Pools Not weakened by the Recent Decis-
ion of the Courts.
The enemies OF pools are quite inbiant over
the recent decision of the courts, which fails to
sustain the rulings of the pools that the corlmis
sinner has power to designate over what road
freight shall be forwarded, regardless of the
ahipper's wishes. The enemies of pools
claim that it is serious blow
at Commissioner Fink's most improved trunk
hine pool. They say the essential feature of that
aDOnl is that no railway shall take more freight
than its quota, and that when any excess is Of
Tered to given line it shall be diverted to some
dine which has less than it's percentage. But
the confession that goods must be sent as they
are shipped, and that railways, being common
carriers must take the freight that is sent them,
makes the enforcement of that idea wholly i'm
possible, and turns Mr.. Fink's fine scheme all
awry before it has got fairly into running order.
1t 10 hardly probable that shippers will give
she roads much trouble on that score, as but
aew shippers care which route their freights are
Forwarded over, providing the time made and
rates charged are the same by all routes. In
any case the decision of the court regarding the
matter cannot seriously affect the pools, as
there are always enough shippers who in
different as to routes TO furnish freghts of some
class to even up with, ana really, so far as the
arunk-line pool is concerned, the evening-up is
done with money. 1t makes but little differ
once, as the road which carries a tonnage over
ats per cent. evens up with its competitors on a
money basis.

DRESSED BEEF.


Hhe Opposition to an Advance in Rates
Showing Itself East.
The proposition of Commissioner Fink to ad-
vance the rates on dressed beef has at last been
taken up by the Eastern newspapers. Mention
was made in Mondays Journal that Commits
sioner Fink's proposition had not been approved
of by the trunk-line commission. and the New
York Times says: "The trunk-line commission
ought to refuse to make any increase in the
freight rates on dressed beef from Chicago un-
less the advocates of protective rates can ad-
vance some better arguments than they have
yet found. The demand for an increase from
sixty-four cents per hundred pounds to seventy
seven cents on the ground that certain persons
who are now engaged in the profitable business
of shipping cattle East and slaughtering them
here must be protected against the consequences
of an innovation that would give the consumers
of the large Eastern cities cheaper and better
beef is mauifestly unsound and vicious, But
certainly the plea of the railroads that they
would lose the benefit OF freight charges both
ways on the hides, large quantities OF which are
Immediately sent back to the West to be tanned,
is too impudent TO deserve a moments consider
alton. If the railroads whose lines traverse
cess of manipulating their table of freight
charges TO compel their patrons and the public
to submit to the expense of this useless hauling
of goods about the country, the matter is one
worthy the immediate attention of the railroad

face to be bathed twice per day.
The beautiful embroidery that is put on
the corners of table spreads is to great eX-

the space left at the corners looks bare or

A good way of cleaning a crater, after u.s.
ing it, OF the particles of carrot, potato, CO.
coanut, lemon or any foreign substance that
may adhere to it, is to let them get thor
oughly dried on the crater, and then brush
them off with u brush kept expressly for that
purpose; a five-cent scrubbing-brush is as
good a thing as l know of. You can stand
the crater on the stove against the pipe, OF
anywhere else so that it keeps thoroughly
warm until the particles that adhere to il are
quite dried.

The Erie People Say Rates Are Solid.

The Erie people, through the New York pa

CT cutting rates on both east and westbound
business. General Freight Agent Villas, of the
Erie. in published interview, says: "The re-
ports OF cutting rates by the Erie or other trunk
Dines east west-bOund business could not
possibly be true. The movement of wheat and

Enough TO bring the freight at tariff rates.
Very little grain is coming from Chicago by rail.
Tue movement of grain this season of the

year the movement of oats is the feature. Shin

goods business Is good, as Western merchants

Hly than was expected"
