OIL CASE MAY
BE REOPENED
Railroad Attorneys Not
Satisfied With the
Result.

The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
Railway companies are not pleased with
the decision of the Railroad Commission
ers in the oil case. The attorneys in the
law departments are very guarded in dis
cussing the case, but from their tone it is
very evident that the result was not to
their liking.
ter they have not yet decided upon, but
from the present outlook it points to the
fact that they will bring the matter before
he Superior Court in this city and county
under injunction proceedings.
A prominent attorney of the Southern
Pacific Company, on being interviewed in
regard to the subject, said:
How do we like the decision? Well we dom
want to talk about it just at present. We are
not satisfied with 1t, but just at present we
are thinking the matter over and have not de-
cided what steps we shall take about the case
The only legal step we can take will be to
bring injunction proceedings in the Superior
Court in this city and county, but don't quote
have the matter under advisement and have
not decided whether shall take legal steps
not.
Attorney Short of Fresno, who con-
Quoted the case for the oil men of Kern
County, is jubilant over the decision. The
Railroad Commissioners made little
changes in the rates for the transporta-
tion of oil from the Kern district to this
city, but, on the other hand, the spur
charges. over which such a mighty pro-
test was made, have been cut in half.
The question as to whether the railroad
companies will take the matter into the
Superior Court is arouSing much inter-
est. Should they take further legal ac-
ton the case will not be settled for sew
eral months and perhaps years. If, in the
storing the charges to the original figure,
they will be we'll satisfied.

Lunch at White House.
(By Associated Press.)

T.: (by Associated PreSS.)
Washington Nov. Ex-senator Spooner
of Wisconsin and Senator Bailey of
Texas saw the president today, and the
former, together with ex-senator Don
Cameron of Pennsylvania, took luncheon
at the white house.
Senator Spooner declined to discuss the
questions of reciprocity and the tariff.
but expressed the opinion that the new
treaty with Great Britain would be rati-
fed and the canal bill passed at the ap-
preaching session of congress.
Senator Bailey, who was for two con-
crosses the leader of the minority in the
house, says that so far as he is aware
there will be no meeting of the minority
senators to determine upon a policy of
opposition in the coming congress.
He is inclined to think that events will
be likely to determine their course.
Senator Bailey said that IL the new
canal treaty was the strong American
treaty it was reported to be, he would
gladly give 1t his support.
A delegation from the Land Grant Col
lege association, which is meeting in this
city, formally paid the respects of the
association to the president today. 1t
consisted of r. B. Fulton of Mississippi
John S. Swayne and G. e. Mclean OF

The "long and short man." whose dep
relations as holdups in Butte are WE'LL
known to many citizens, have evidently
given way to more husky knights of the
road.
Last night. probably about $50 o'clock,
two large men with their faces partly
concealed behind black cloth held up
Frank DeYott in South Montana street
and robbed him of $50 and might have
taken his SIS watch had they known it
to be so valuable.
Mr.. DeYott is not much more than
half as large IS either Of the men who
robbed him, but under ordinary circum-
stances is nervy.
Not the First Time.
1t is not the first time he has been
held up, but in his last experience prior
to the one last night he shot one OF the
footpads and might have nailed one last
night had he been armed.
His place of residence is South Mon-
tana street. During the early part Of
the evening he entertained a friend at
his home and when the latter left Mr..
DeYott accompanied him few blocks
up the street
Then he started back home, uncon.

LEMONS ARE SCARCE
BUTTE DEALERS DECLARE THEx
CAN'T GET The FRUIT.
CARGO OF GREEN ONES IS HERE
Grocer Explai1s Reason For the Short
age and Bartender Says Money
Will Not Help Him
Cut.

If you want a drink with a. piece OF
lemon in it you need not be surprised If
you don't get it in Butte, just at-pkHs-
ent. yss
Lemons are scarce articles in this city
now, and the reason for the absence of
the fruit, at any rate the absence of it
In a usable shape, seems to be because
available lemons are green.
There are lemons in town, but no
dealer has the temerity to hand them out
to customers.
Il don't believe there are any lemons
on sale by retailer in Butte" said a
man connected with one of the largest
grocery houses in the city this morning.
Not For Sale.
There may be few stray lemons
around among the restaurants or saloons,
but they are not to be bought.
There is no special scarcity of the
fruit, such as 1t is, but we might just as
well not have it so far as present pur-
poses are concerned.
II know Of two carloads Of lemons in
Butte, but they are green, and until they
have time to ripen people will have to
get along without the sour fruit.
You see, the new crop Is just coming
in, and it takes a little time for it to
get in shape for the trade.
The lemons In Butte are laid around
in banana houses, where they will have
all the chance in the world to get ripe"
Not For a Week.
Lemons? Why, 1 have not seen q
lemon in a week." declared bartender
when he was asked if he could furnish q
drink with piece of the sour fruit in It.
II don't know what is the matter but
7 know the facts We have no lemOn8
and that is all there is to it.
I'VE have the money to pay for them,
and that must mean that there are none
in the market. .s
II had a customer in here yesterday
who was inclined to get gay when /
told him I could not give him the sight
of piece of lemon in a drink, but that
made no difference.
I'VE have not the goods, and if money
will not get them we simply have to
pass out when that line Is called for"
