THE STEP
Toward Reduction Of Rates Taken by III
Railway CommfssIon-A1l Branch Lines
and Divisions to Furnish Separate De.
tailed Reports
Especial to The Messenger.)

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, N. c., December 3O.-The
railway commission today adopted the
following:
Ordered, That quarterly report,
Form B, be amended so as to snow a
detailed statement of freight and pas
senger earnings, operating expenses,
etc.
Ordered, further, That a separate
detailed report of earnings and ex-
penses shall be made for each main and
branch line or division.
Ordered, further, That this report
shall be filed in the office of the railway
commission within twenty days after
the close of each quarter. Effective on
n after January 1st, 1885,"
There is no doubt that this is the pre-
Hminary step to a reduction of rates.
AS Commissioner Pearson. says, the
purpose of this is to make every tub
stand on it's own bottom" If, for in
stance, one division of a road is earning
much money the rate can be reduced
while on another division it would
stand. Each branch road will be treat
ed as a line. The purpose of the reso-
lution is to get at the passenger and
freight earnings separately and for
each line, division or branch. Pearson
says the whole idea is just to the roads,
which he links will appreciate it.

Arizona Fruits.

From the New York Post.
a rival to California in fruit-grOw
ing in a small way is Arizona, the ia
vored section of the territory as to soil
and climate being the Salt River Val
ley. This valley produced $500 boxes
of oranges, lemons, grapefruit and tan
gerines last year, about doubling its
production of 1896. There are 800 acres
pln nted in oranges in the Salt River
Valley thus far. aud the success which
has attended the industry will result in
the planting Of mary new groves this
spring. OF the 800 acres about 500
acres are now in bearing, and the
others will soon begin to produce. The
varieties of oranges grown are about
equally divided between the Washing
ton navels and seedlings. There the
fruit ripens earlier, as rule, by two
or three weeks than it does in CalifOr MIA,
and A Arizona oranges have often been
the first to reach the Eastern market.
1t is freque ntly the case that they are
placed on the Thanksgiving table of
the remotest Eastern city by the Ari-
iona shipper.

I man in our city received letter few
days ago saying he could secure a

this young man to know just how such
an offers could be made. He knew

explain the MYSTERY of 1t later" Mil
lions have done this. No one who has
thus received the gift, and followed the
Instruction, of Jesus has been disap-
pointed. Do you say, however, that the
COST in the way of sacrifice is too great?

Apostles tell of crowns of life, anu
crowns of righteousness; crowns Of re
