INVOLVED IN A SQUABBLE
The Southern Pacific's Reduced Tariff
TO Utah
Causes the Eastern Roads Doing Business in
the Territory to Raise Howl
of Anguish

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2s.-The
Southern Pacific company has become In.
volved in an interesting squabble with the
eastern roads doing business in Utah
territory. A few weeks ago the eastern
lines reduced their freight rates on long
line of commodities from eastern points
to Utah. 10 protect its own interests.
and incidentally che interests of local
producers and manufacturers who have
to compete with the eastern shippers in
the Utah territory, the Southern Pacific
put in a reduced tariff on such comm odi-
ties as are manufactured for produced in
California and find market in that ter
ritory. This latter tariff went into effect
on June 9th. The lines in Utah, viz:
the Rio Grande Western, Union Pacific
and Utan Central railroads, objected to
the Southern Pacific company's rates. and
notified General Freight Agent Smurr
that they would not Join in them. This
left the Southern Pacific without a line
east of Ogden which was willing to Join
in the reduced tariff. and left Smurr no
other alternative but to withdraw the OBJ
jectionable tariff.
An order has accordingly been issued
canceling the objectionable tariff, but ac-
companying IL IS new tariff TO take the
place of the one cancelled. 1t fixes re-
duced rates on all the comm odities over
which the present contest was started,
but the rates only apply to Ogden, the
end of the company's line in Utah. Be-
yond that point the old tariff of August
10, 1894, and the succeeding amendm ents
up to the one which has been ordered
cancelled will apply.
The new reduced tariff will take effect
August ist. and the cancellation of the
objectionable tariff issued last month
takes effect at the close of business on
July 3lst. The reductions in the new tar
iff are calculated to meet the rates issued
by the eastern lines into Ogden. for the
freight department officials in the general
Office of the Southern Pacific say they do
not propose to allow the eastern lines to
monopolize the big business afforded by
supplying the Utah market with the COM
mOdities above named.

A Canadian School Idea.
N, Y, Tribune.

IL Is proposed to introduce into the public
schools OF Canada regular inspection OF the
teeth OF all pupils 10y experts appointed for
the purpose. The plan is good one and
worthy TO be followed elsewhere. Good teeth
are as important TO the scholar, not only dur
ing his pupilage. but in his after life. as q
good education, and only early attention and
care, not always given by parents nor always
possible TO them, can assure their preserva-
tion. IL Is not yet proposed 10 educate tho
teachers in dentistry, SO that they can per-
sonally inspect and operate on their charges,
but 10 might not be bad idea TO do so. The
modern I'M issionary il instructed in medicine
to the end that he may minister TO the pbysi-
cal ills OF his convert and there Is no reason
why teachers, especially those whose fields OF
work are in remote and rustic districts where
dentists are scarcer than rocs' eggs should
not be instructed in that branch OF the pre-
seryative and healing art Canada should try
the experiment., and II II thrlves in that cold
country where teeth urgently required TO
chatter with, 10 will be introduced in warmer
ones, whore they have other uses, TO the great
advantage of all pupils, however much they
may be against II.
