rapid and complete, and in February he
returned To work. His lungs are sound,
aud his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost miracle.

and west lines. What the inter-
state commerce commission s power
in this matter would be is a ques-
ton, but it is good common law that
a creature OF the law may step in
and say this much may you charge,
but no more,' but we know of no
law which saws 'You must charge
so much, and your charges must not
be lower" Such ruling by the in
terstate commerce commission would
certainly be grotesque and an OBJ
ject of public condemnation.
The east and west line severing
their traffic agreement with the
Gulf & Pittsburg line do so merely
temporarily. The officers of the
former know too we'll that thew
must receive freight from that line,
and must deliver it to that line.
where ordered, and that the charges
must be equitable. But by sever
ing the agreement they make trouble
for the Pittsburg & Gulf company
until the latter can secure an order
from the interstate commerce COM
mission, backed up by the courts,
compelling the east and west lines
to renew their traffic arrangements
with the north and south line.
If the Gulf & Manitoba company
ultimately connects with Pittsburg,
Kansas City & Gulf railroad on the
south, the benefits now accru-
ing to the farmers and business
men residing along the latter line
must come to the people of Mime
sofa living along the line of the pro-
jected railroad. The east and west
lines must meet the rates of the Gulf
road, or lose the business, and GER
tainly no company proposes to do
the latter. Further, if the Gulf &
Manitoba company builds it's line to
connect with Duluth the benefits
will be two-fold-lake freight rate
on the north and an ocean and gulf
freight rate on the south. The
northern benefit will be a market
for wheat, as we'll as benefit for
receiving anthracite and bituminous
coal, and plenty of wood, while the
southern benefit must be the tap
ping of the bituminous coal fields of
Iowa, and the lumber and other in
terests of the south, as we'll as for
the southern market for wheat at
Galveston, from which port the
wheat export is growing larger an
nually.
