RESTORATION OF GRAIN
RATES FROM OGDEN WEST
SOUTHERN PACIFIC GETS BACK
TO THE 81 MARK.
Relaxation of Business Activity
Throughout the East Causes a
Fall in Freight Charges on
Westbound Business.

The Utah grain rate has been restored
10 its original figure by the Southern Pa
ciic Company. the change becoming eff
fective yesterday.
The original rate was 81 per ton from
Ogden west. A short time ago this was
increased 10 s. GO. the reason given by the
Southern Pacific being that owing to the
tremendous increase of traffic consequent
on the conditions of trade brought about
by the recent war, particularly the
troops to the Philippines, IT was impos-
sible 10 supply cars In sufficient numbers
to at once take care of the increased
traffic and the Utah grain business at
the same time, and therefore it became
necessary for the company, working on
good commercial principles. TO put In a
rate SO high as to practically act as a
prohibitive tariff.
This while Ii worked hardship to the
farmers of the Malad and Cache valleys
in Utah by practically preventing them
from getting any of their crops 10 market
on the Pacific Coast, futhered the ends OF
the Southern Pacific by affording that
company greater facilities for handling
more remunerative freight.
The Oregon Short Line and the Texas
roads prepared to take advantage OF the
new order of things by Offering induce
ments to the Utah farmers to ship the
crops over their lines either to Puget
Sound or Gulf terminals. The present
restoration of the old 81 rate is either be-
cause of the strength evinced by this
competition or because, as the Southern
Pacific officials say, relaxation has
come in the transportation congestion In
the East and their cars are now being
returned to them in sufficient numbers re
Utah grain at the old rate and not losing
money thereby.

the case with Dutch painting and the
Dutch painter who IS the subject OF this
sketch.
About 200 years before the arrival OF
Franz Halls upon the scene. the brothers
Jan and Hubert Van Eyck had released
from its letters the art of painting by
placing in the hands OF artists the facile
vehicle OF oil TO be used in the mixing OF
pigments. The masterpieces produced
before this time that have come down

temper. Fresco painting. az the word
implies, meaning fresh" was the prac-
tice Of painting on fresh plaster. using
water as the medium for mixing the
colors. This obliged the artist TO work
very rapidly, besides limiting 10 a com
paratively narrow range his choice OF
tints. Consequently no great depth OF
tone could be secured and anything like
a realistic effect OF nature was by this
means quite out OF the question. The
very sobriety OF color imposed by these
restrictions, however. aided In a way the
class of art then called for, 1. e.. religious
painting. Dignihed and imposing sub
jects on a monumental scale for public
buildings and churches could thus be
presented with all the realism demanded

remarks he introduced Thomas r. Curran
as chairman of the evening.
