A. K Tiesberg Of st. Paul. secretary of
the Minneapolis railroad commission. dis
c,,ssed before the Industrial commission to-
day the transportation Of grain in Minneap-
oils. He stated that during the first few
years there had been many reductions in
the state freight rates and in some cases
the charges had been reduced so per cent.
He testified that there now Is hardly a rail-
road station in Minneapolis where there Is
not a farmers cooperative elevator. AS
far as he knew, the farmers elevators were
accorded the same privileges and courtesies
as the elevator companies He thought that
the interstate commerce commission should
be empowered, upon complaint, to adjust
determinations in railroad rates.

Briefly Summed Up.

Summed up briefly. the fight now lies
between Corbett and Mcbride. with slight
advantage in favor Of the former. Yet Nc
Bride, by controlling but seventeen republican
votes, can prevent Corbett from securing
the election, in case he can control no
votes Of the opposition party. Corbett. it
must be admitted. Is not popular in the
democratic camp, and Is not likely to draw
upon that party for his support.
While deadlock, resulting In no cleo
ton, Is possible, 1t Is not thought that
such viii be the case. Oregon politicians
who have kept in touch with the situation
express the belief that a senator will be
elected before the expiration Of the legis-
lative term of forty days.
Each and every one Of the prominent
candidates Is known to Washington to a
greater or less degree. Senator Mitchell
and Senator Corbett have both left reputa-
lions In the Senate because of previous
service, and either would be welcomed
back into that body.

adjudicating cases in which they were
disqualified During his temporary
sway upon the local bench Judge Lit
tie has impressed friend and stranger,
LAWYER and client with his splendid
judicial poise. his grasp of law, his
sense Of fairness at all hands, and his
close adherence to the principles of
American justice and judicial prac-
tice. Although largely stranger in
the capitol city he has in few days
two friends where there was but one
before; he leaves no enemies and no
criticism behind him. His record
presents the clean sheet lived up 70

Judge Little leaves Honolulu with
the entire confidence of the majority
OF its people The suggestion of the
New York Herald and other eastern
publications that he be appointed TO
succeed Mr.. Dole as the Governor OF
this Territory has been well taken IN
Hawaii, and it is safe to say that a
majority OF the voters of the Terri
tory would welcome such a change.
