ne involved in

Of these roads has become involved in
the WAY.
The trouble started a month and
more ago. The Mallory and Morgan
steamship lines. doing business along
the Atlantic coast became engaged in
such active competition that rates be
gar to be carved. The Morgan line
is controlled by the Southern Pacific,
and for this reason the opponents of
the Hartman system say these inter
ests are really at the bottom OF the
trouble. A. any rate, merchandise
and other classes Of freight from New
York and other Atlantic coast points
began to be moved at less than regu-
lar prices, going by boat to New Or
leans and thence by rail to Utah The
ali-rau lines started in to meet this,
and rates suffered until now they are
about half what they are published in
the tariff sheets.
Genuine Rate War.
The decentralization spread. Lower
rates were quoted from Chicago and
the Missouri river BY first one line and
then another. About a week ago pTac-
tically ali the lines were dragged in,
anG the situation became worse and
worse, until Yesterday it assumed the
seriousness of a genuine rate war,
without quarter A number of heavy
shippers received the word yesterday
tE7t the Short Line and Union Pacific
would take care of them. The result
was thai the other roads plunged in
stnl harder and now the fight is
fierce.
Shippers who have laid in their
stocks and done practically all their
shipping are naturally far from pleased
with the turn affairs have taken. It
is understood that the big guns" Of
the roads are displeased with the sit
uatiOn, ana the presidents viii take a
hand at their meeting in Chicago on
Dec. 20 in trying to stop the war and

man where he had camped. in the min
ing districts of California who could
make the New York doctors ashamed Of
the regular practice in case of pneu-

The claim of the man is this: Unless
some part of the digestive process is
clogged pneumonia is impossible, and it
is even quite difficult to take cold if the
circulation of the fluids of the body is
free
His method is simplicity itself In
the first place, to start with, he gives a
big dose OF physic and puts his man into
lots of blankets, and then he gathers
all the bottles he can find in the camp
and fills them with hot water and heats
every part of the man but his head. AS
soon as he thinks the physic is ont of
his stomach. he makes him sip hot wa
ter. just as soon as he sees drop OF

parlnents have not been complete or

next year. some tentative conclusions
are suggested by the current tests.
Shade grown potatoes have not prov

Itself. Substantially similar results
were obtained from beets and onions,
the rapid growths going to the tops
rather than to the roots. Squasbes
fourished, and they were tender. with
superior favor, but it was noticed
that they decayed moro rapidly than
those raised in the outer air. Lettuce
