1.-The Farmer as an Exporter Embracing
the Railroad Problem" was Professor
Ross subject this afternoon. The main
point discussed was the discrimination by
the railroad companies; first, between per-
sons; second. local discrimination; and
third, the classification of freights and
hence the discrimination in regard to
value. His discussion showed that the
first and second of these could be aban-
doned, while the last could protitably be
retained, He thought that the cost OF
service principle should not be adopted,
because industries would then be concen-
trated in certain localities, and competi-
ton between different businesses would
not be equitably adjusted. He did not be-
lieve that the railroad companies should
be allowed to entirely make their own
rates, but considered the railroads public
property to the extent that the Govern
ment should interfere when they took the
monopolistic form.

Troublesome .4rixona Iadiams.

TUCSON, AR1z., Aug. 5.-The inyestiga-
ton OF the special agent just returned
from western Pima County shows that all
the stockmen have been forced to remove
their stock to other ranges on account OF
the depredations of the Papago Indians,
who are scattered in small bands through
the mountains of that section in a state of
starvation and compelled to steal cattle for
subsistence. Three thousand Papagoes are
off their reservation.
Stockmen have lost over 5000 head of
stock and some are financially ruined. An
appeal has been made to the Indian De-
partment to have the Indians placed on
their reservation and given chance to till
the soil

Il Young Girl Nearly Burned to Death
While Cooking.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. 5.-There
was an exciting scene on Third street this
afternoon, caused by young girl who ran
down a stairway with her clothing ablaz e
The girl, whose name is Jennie Parker,
lives upstairs in clearinghouse. She
was cooking supper on a coal-oil stove
when her dress caught fire. She ran
through the hall and down the stairs and
into the street. In the meantime the
flames had spread so that they completely
enveloped her, and no sooner had she
reached the sidewalk than she fell.
Among those who happened to be near
by was ex-RailIoad Commissioner II. NJ
Laue. He took in the situation at a
glance, and, stripping off his overcoat,
wrapped it about the suffering girl. Others
came to the rescue with blankets and
quilts, and in a few moments the flames
were extinguished. This was not done,
however, until almost all the clothing was
burned off the girl.
When taken upstairs, it was found that
from the waist down she was terribly
burned, the flesh in places appearing to be
ready to drop off. Her arms also suffered
considerably. 1t is reported that the girl
has little chance for her life. If she lives
she viii be terribly disfgured.
A few months ago, being tired of the life
she was leading, she shot herself in the
head with revolver. A number of char
liable women became interested in her
case, and by careful nursing she recovered.
Her parents, who are said to be respectable
countryf7people, have been notified of the
accident that has befallen their daughter.
