SUGARIS UP
A SIXTEENTH
EGGS HAVE BECOME
EGGS IN THE SAN
FRANCTSC MARKET

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27.-
The highest prices5ever paid for
eggs in this city are being de-
manded these days, and house
wives and hotel people who are
giving up fro m50 to 60 cents a
dozen for them have not the
slightest prospect of relief in
sight. 4gl
The situation is a disagreea-
BILE one for hotel and restaurant
keepers, and for housewives as
well, who, although they use
eggs in smaller quantities., yet
are forced to pay a top-notch
price for an inferior quality.
BY far the biggest portion Of
the egg market of the city is
suppied by Eastern dealers,
who ship in cold storage eggs
that have ben on ice for months,
and ut is this sort of eggs that
now command such high figures
in the market. s4 {
There are orders enough in
from people who buy eggs by
the hundred cases to absorb the
supply of ranch eggs" that will
be created during the next three
months.

MAY ADOPT THE: PER DIEM
ASSN ROADS TO VOTE
The Plan Is Intended to Prevent Car
ShOrtages-IOwa Central
Appointments.

All railroads Of the country, members
Of the American Railway 1nAssociat1on
will ballot on the proposition to make the
charge for freight cars among the vari-
GUS roads on per diem instead of a mile
age basis. The recent meeting Of the
association in New York adopted the
change to a per diem jbasis by large
majority. Before making it operative a
ballot fby mail is to besstaken.
This action comes as reform in rail-
way operation. All railroads conterd
that if cars were returned more promptly
to the lines owning them, car famines
would be less frequent, and large sum
necessarily invested in equipment saved
for employment in other directions.
Many railroad men believe that the per
diem charge will force stricter observ-
ar,ce of demurrage rules. The railroad
paying a daily charge for a car will in
sist on prompt unloading and the col
lection of demurrage where Oh the mile
age basis it might be willing to allow the
shipper to override the demurrage rules.
This change as at first proposed was not
satisfactory to some of the smaller roads
which were also terminal roads. 1t is
understood that the plan has been quail
fed to do away with their objections.
Iowa Central Appointments.
General Passenger Agent Cults, OF the
Iowa Central. has made the following APP
pointments to the passenger force of that
road; Frank II. Beach, district passenger
agent, and George W. Martin, travelling
passenger agent, with Headquarters at
Marshalltown, Iowa. Charles S Walters,
travelling passenger agent, with head
quarters at Peoria, Ill. Mr.. Beach, who
has been travelling passenger agent for
the Mjnneapolis g. st. Louis, will be sue
ceeded by Raymond Kelley.

Big Four President on Present
Railroad Troubles.
WHERE TROUBLE COMES FROM
He Says It's Due to j. j. HiIps Mer-
ger scheme-Community
by Groups.

Not all of the remarks of President M
E. Ingalls,, OF the Big Four system, were
published on the day he made his sensa-
tional public statement anent railway
merging. In remarks not published with
his general statement he holds James J..
Hill responsible for, the strained condi-
lions in railroading at5present. He said:

by groups. There are natural groups

bring us new ones.

system. In 1se3-97 railroads we're
skinned rates were cut, no money was
made. The western roads were chips in

presidents attempted to agree. We never
could, or if we did, the agreements were
broken.
"The community Of interests in the
group system solved the problem. Rates
now are good no man in the United
States is mean enough to cut them. Roads
out here are looked upon as good invest
ments. in the way the New England roads
long have been.
''If crops are short this year and rail-
road earnings meager the system OF
groups will be tested to the utmost. But
SO far it has answered. Further merging
cannot improve it.. Merger should be
stopped right now. The limit must be
reached some time, and l guess that
time is now.
Il haven't any idea how the suits will
come out. Mr.. Hill has those properties
on his hands and will have to carry them.

COL. TANNERS DEATH.
The Well Known Sporting Ma
Stricken by Heart Disease.


Stricken by Heart Disease.
Colonel w. A. Tanner head of the local
gambling syndicate, died suddenly last
evening at his home, 2501 Humboldt ave-
nue. S, aged 81 years. Heart trouble
with which he has been affected at inter-
walls for several months was the cause. A
few weeks ago he suffered severe at
tack, and for time his life was dispaired
of. Later he recovered and was able to be
about again. The attack yesterday was
rather unexpected.
Colonel Tanner was born August, 1S43,
at Pawtucket R. 1. He resided in Wis
consin at the outbreak of the war and
served in the union army, in the Thirty
second Wisconsin regiment attaining the
rank of lieutenant. He was mustered out
at Memphis, where he engaged in bust
ness for several years.
Twenty-Five years ago he came to Min
neapolis. At first he was interested with
several associates in the Turf Exchange
pool room, which operated until
closed by a state law prohibiting book
making on races. He then became head
of the local gambling syndicate, which has
done business at intervals for many years.
Colonel Tanner was member of Plumme or
post, G. A. R.,and at the time of his
death was heavy property owner. He Is
survived by a wife and brother, the, lat
ter living in Chicago. .sa.-

TIRED OF DENYING
jim Younger Discusses Latest Ver-
sion Of the Ellkins Story.

Jim Younger, who is now employed
at the Edwin cigar store on Washington
avenue south, says he is getting tired of
denying stories about Senator Elkins' re-
lations with members of the Younger
family. A story printed in morning
paper to-day, under Kansas City date,
says Ellsins was captured during the war
by the Quantrell gang, Of which the
Youngers We're members, and that he was
released by them after they had been or
dered to shoot him. The article attributes
Elkins' release to Cole and Bob Younger,
but as Bob was net born until October OF
1856 according to his brother, he could
scarcely have played any important part
in the incident, even II it had occurred as
stated. Jim Younger admits that he and
Cole went to school to Senator Elkins
who. before the war. taught school in Mis-
souri,. He says, however, that he never
saw Elkins from the time. the war began
until It closed. He admits that the sena
tor gives Cole the credit for having saved
his life on one OCCASION but denies any
knowledge of the facts in the matter.

NOT IN SOAP TRUST
Local Manufacturers Say They
Haven't Entered a Combine.
But PRICES MUST BE ADVANCED
'Retailers Now Selling Mt What They
Must Pay for Next
ORDERS.

Local soap manufacturers deny all
knowledge Of the soar combine reported
to- have been organized in the east, and
OF which at leas. one Minneapolis firm
was said to have become a member. j. G..
Robb, vice president of the Minnesota
Soap company, said this morning that he
had, heard nothing of the move and be-
lieved the renort to be without founda-
tion. Said he:
Soap manufacturers have had an organiza-
ton since about year ago, but nothing in
the nature of combine or trust has ever
been discussed The soapmakers convention
purpose that the groCerymen organized We
do not fix prices, except that the delivery price
to outside points is usually the same. gs
The soap business just at present is In
bad shape Raw materials are higher than
ever before and the Minnesota company has
enough orders hand to keep us running
steadily until June l, if we don't take in
another one from now until them. What is
more, these orders were accepted at price
which may entail a loss upon the company
under present market conditions.
Tallow and cotton oil are the two chief in
gradients Of laundry soaps. The low price
on tallow is 5 cents pound The present
price is cents. The low price on cotton oil
Is Is cents gallon. To-day it is AZ cents.
In spite Of this fact soap has been advanced
only 55 cents box, and Is cents of this ad-
vance was put into effect recently that
the manufacturer has got no benefit from 1t
yet, The rise in materials warrants an ad-
yante Of at least 81 box; and soap, just at
present, is a good buy.
Crncers are, retailing soap now at just
about what they will have to pay for it when
next they order. They selling six and
sCretinl,s seven bars for quarter. The
retail price should be only five bars for a
quarter, and just as soon as they notice the
higher wholesale price the advance will be
made. People ought to buy their soap now,
for it is surely going up. The increased price
in our raw materials l believe to be due
to the natural laws of demand and supply. II
Is not due to trust manipulation.

..TyyILIGHT LIMITED" TIME
A Reduction to Permit connections
With SouthbOund Trains.

The running time of the North West
ern,s Twilight Limited between Minne-
apolis and Duluth is to be reduced mater
tally in order to make connection with the
Kansas City and Omaha train over the
North Western leaving Minneapolis IN the
evening. The official announcement Will
be made in few days.
It will require a reduction OF an hour IN
running time to make the desired connec-
ZION The physical condition of the Du-
luth line is such that operating officials
believe It can easily be done. Travel be-
tween Minneapolis, Duluth and Missouri
river points is increasing and such
change is expected to strengthen the
North West ern's position in that traffic.
Just what effect this will have on the
present time agreement among the North
Western, the Northern Pacific and the

THOUGHT AS he FELL
A Capitol workman Remembered .
Protection and Caught 1t.

r. AuJVSlA anu SAN&sHl
Presence Of mind in moment OF great
danger saved the. life. of Nels Nelson, 11O7
Payne avenue, st. Paul, chief mason on
the new ca:itol. Saturday afternoon he
was at work at the top of the dome, on
the inside. His foot slipped from bev-
eled projection upon which he was stand
irg while supervising the pointing" of
huge stone that was being raised to it's
place. The marble floor was 200 feet be-
low him. To strike it meant instant
death. Nelson says he felt himself 60
ing down, down with increasing velocity,
and that he realized that death was i'm
minent He knew every piece Of work
in the dome and remembered slight
projection which was almost in his path.
He resolved to clutch it. Ext ending his
arms he grabbed the projection and held
with all his might. Luckily he was able
to cling to the piece until rescued from
his perilous position by his workmen.
After he was released he lost all control
of his strength which had served him SO
we'll and tainted. He was otherwise un-
hurt.
