Coal Rate Reduction.

Although many changes have been
made in other rates, no change has
been made in the Goa! rates, for q good
many years. Soon after the organi-
cation of the board a conference was
held with Representatives of the rail-
road companies in which a demand
was made for 20 per cent reduction
Subsequent conferences led to a vol
untary reduction of the soft coal rates
to such Kansas points as had been
pointed out as Disseminated against
by the then existing tariff rates. This
resulted in cheaper coal rates from
Colorado mines of from 25 to SO cents
per ton to nearly every point of i'm
portance on the Santa Fe system.
The people of the county noticed
last year that Colorado coal was cost
ing them one dollar less per tor than
the year before without knowing why.

I recently spent four

the lake is located in the northern part
of Wisconsin near Lake Superior

and the guide got us pail of mi,
nOws and a boat. 1t could not have
been a good morning for fish as VIC
caught only a few bass. After break
fast at the hotel, we rowed two miles
up the lake and landing, struck out
through the woods for Bird Lake
where we fshed all day, catching
about 90 fair bass. I am not going
to worry you with an account of each

THE desire to challenge for the cup is not new

taken lively interest in yacht-racing. ana IS
member Of several clubs. In fact. he has always
been interested in all forms Of sport
What is his motive for issuing the challenge at
his time?'
"sir Thomas's view is this: England and Scot
and have had repeated opportunities to compete
Tor the trophy and have failed. but Ireland has

Yes ! have heard such rumors. This disap-
prevail. however. probably comes from the fact
Ina; there are no conditions attached to 1t by Sir
Thomas to cover the difficulties which arose on

N that regard that Sir Thomas Upton would al
