IOWA STATE RULING.

Usual on the Railways.
DEs MONIES, Ia, Jan. 16.-The rail
road rate decision filed by the state
commissioner Saturday night is a sig
nal victory for the jobbers Of Iowa,
who made the fight against the in
crease asked for by six Of the leading
lines of the state. 1t is also a retiec-
ton on the railroad attorneys who APP
peared before the board to argue the
case.
The decision says to the railroads:
"Not proven" And then it is added
that when the railroads get ready to
submit figures to show that their local
freight rates have not been remunera-
tive or that such freight has been
bearing its due proportion of the oper-
ating expense of these railroads, the
commissioners will be glad to consider
it. Even Commissioner Day, who
filed a dissenting opinion i'll which he
favors advanced rates, says that he
bases this not OH anything proven by
the railroads III this hearing, nor on
any information ever submitted by
them, but by his own observation, and
then he justities himself for going out
side of the submitted testimony.

Prior to 1856 there was no organized ef-
fort made in the dairy line. The people
of the then thriving town of Seattle were
forced TO be content with a small supply

attention TO dairying. consuming most of
their milk at home. The rapid growth

Gas and Electricity,

Notwithstanding the confessed imper-
fections of the system Of coal gas making,
the evil odors which attach TO the works,
the yet more offensive exhalations given
of from streets through which the main
pipes are laid the destructive accidents
which occasionally occur from gas explo-
sions and the heat and sulphurous fumes
evolved during It's combustion, not one Of
the numerous substitutes which have been
proposed has been able To rival il in any
large town OF city where coal is a market
able commodity.
As against the system Of electric light
ing, which Is now being brought into com
petition with it, it may be already demon
strated that for busy thoroughfares, almost,
1t may be said for open air lighting gen
orally as also for large halls and inclosed
spaces, electric lighting will in the near
future supersede gas but that IL will be
equally available for domestic purposes is
not yet so certain, and, until it can be
shown that current may be subdivided
practically without limit, that the supply
can adapt itself 10 the demand with the
same ease that the pressure of gas is regu-
lated, and that the lights can bee raised and
lowered equally with gaslights, till these
and other conditions are satisfied the dis
use Of gaslighting Is still very remote -
