Closed Down.
Galveston News.

Galveston News.
Mr.. Polk. OF the Santa Fe. tells why
the oil mill in Galveston closed down.
II have this TO say" replied Colonel
Polk. the Santa Fe road il no more re-
sponslblo than You are. and certainly not
as much as Mr.. Adoue Is. for the closing
down OF the mill.
''While Mr. Adoue docs not give any
reasons for his assertion. II is assumed
that they are to be found IN the ADJUST
ment Of cotton seed rates from Santa Fe
points. When 1t is understood that the
Santa Fe had no hand In fixing these
rates and has no legal right TO change
them, however much they might feel in
clined to do so. those functions resting
entirely with the railroad commission, 1t
requires no extraordinary degree OF In
telligence for the average cltzan to under
stand that the road stands acquitted OF
any responsibility for them whatever.
These rates were PROMULGATED by the
commission on September II. 1885,. and
are a reduction OF II rer cent below tho
rates that were IN effect previous TO that
date II IS quite true that the oil mill
