RATE-MAKIN6 POWER.
The Danger of Lodging 1t With Any
New Body.

A former Interstate Commerce Com
missioner says: The National Asso-
citation of Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioners will 60 too far if they
petition congress to authOrize' some
legally constituted body to create and
control rates, Gas rumor says they in
tend to prepare to do at their annual
convention in DenveriThursdsy. They
had better confine their attention at
this time to plaus for Federal super
vision of rates that could be effective
in securing their maintenance.
There are probably less than ten
good traffic officials in the country, who
would under present conditions consent
to any plan that would take rate-mak-
ing powers out of their hands, and yet
the great majority are quite willing to
have he responsibility for their main
tenancs removed to other shoulders.
RAILROAD commission have signally
failed to make rates and have very in
effectuslly regulated them. State
rates cannot be steadier than interstate
rates, and the state railroad commits
sioners should work on some feasible
plan for the better regulation OF inter-
state rates, leaving the rate-msking
power where it is and ought to be-"

Switchln q BY Gravity

Gravity is doing the work of men
and steam engines for the Chicago,
Lake Shore & Eastern Railroad Com
pany in it's yards on the margin of the
lake at the Indiana state line. This
saving of.men and of steam to the extent
of hundreds of dollars daily is made by
the employ ment of nothing more COM
plicated than hump in the railroad
gradual incline leading away from it..
This device is called a "gravity
maker in switching care.
The reason why railroad men are
taking q lively interest in this parti-
cular switch at present is that it is be-
ing tested and, as days go by. some
improvements are being made in it. G.
B. Swallow, the travelling yardmaster
of the road, who conceived the idea Of
such q switch, says it needs to be i'm
proved now because the grade is not
properly adjusted. This is simple
matter and will be done in few days.
The switch not only enables the COM
pany'to make one engine do the work
of four, but it also saves the time en-
ployed in other yards in showing cars
on scale and hauling them off when
ever they have to be weighed. The
simple looking hump on the track
causes the cars to go on the scales, be
weighed. and then roll off to the
switch where they are desired by the
railroad men. The switching and
weighing are performed while the cars
are running from the top of the hump
to the level of the track.-Globe-De Dem

much further to the southwest. Mr..

planted along the Arkansas river, leads

THE city council last night decided
to drop the matter OF extending the
street from the Lancaster TO the Dan
vile pike as it would be very crooked
unless consent OF Helm and Warren was
given, which will not be done. Some
OF the residents OF the street objected
also to the opening Having paid them

ed. a fine OF al TO 81 was made the
penalty for bicycle riding on the pave
ments. DR.. Peyton aud Hundley were
appointed to have the public water
trough at court house repaired. Some
time ago the council ordered City At
torney Varnon to collect from sundry
parties taxes on property that had not
been assessed for which be was To be
allowed 80 per cent. He reported last
night the collection of sl.007.0 and got
commission OF sj03.53, rather
liberal way of disposing of the city's

COMMERCIAL CLUB.-Our citizens
will meet again tonight 10 hear the re-
port OF the committee appointed tomake
the necessary arrangements for the
formation OF Commercial Club, such
rs providing a constitution aud bylaws.
Hon. j. n. Saunders, chairman OF the
committee, will report that he has con-
ferred personally with the secretary of
the Louisville Commercial Club, and
had correspondence with the clubs at
Harrodsburg, Middlesboro and Lexing-
ton, and out of information obtained
from them has prepared the cCnstitu-
tion ana bylaws, which he will present.
The organization is To be known as the
Stanford Commercial Club and its pur-
pose Is TO unite the business and pro-
fessional men of the town for the pro-
motion of the commercial and indus
trial interest OF the town and county, TO
guard against legislation and taxation
inimical to the town, for the securing
OF better shipping facilities and freight
rates, 70 foster commercial and manu-
featuring enterprises and 10 secure by
all legitimate means the growth, devel-
opment and improvement OF the town
and county. All representative citi-
zens are entitled To membe rship, the
fees and dues Of which shall be $50.
Mr.. Saunders further reported that
after feeling the pulse OF the people he
had taken the liberty to see the general
manager OF the l.. & N. and offer the
road g., 900 and free water for all time
IL the company would return its shops
to Rowland. The manager expressed
J qualification over the evidence of good
will of the people OF stanford, but SAID
that IL would be impossible to make
Rowland terminal now or hereafter
as the company was securing engines
capable OF longer runs 50 AS 10 have
the divisions as long as possible. lii
, Al so saw an Official of the Southern
road, who told him that he did mo-
think the extension of the road proba
BILE, but that stanford was in line of IL
: II IL was extended. Mr.. Saunders eN
presses the belief that factories ar,
} even more desirable than railroads
: when we already have the latter anC
hopes that efforts TO secure a SPOKE
factory and others will be made.
