GRAHAM'S GREAT FEAT.
The Noted Swimmer Successfully
Breaks the Waves of the
Whirlpool Rapids.

Niagara Falls, n. Y, Sept. Car
Isle d. Graham swan from the whirl-
pool, below Niagara falls, through the
lower rapids to Lewiston Sunday aft
ernoon. Graham made better swim
than he did on the 9th of September,
1901, when Maude Willard attempted
to navigate the upper rapids in Ora
hams barrel, and was suffocated. Gra-
ham Sunday wore life preserver
about his waist and a neck float. He
entered the water at 3:17. The swift
running current whirled the swimmer
to the center of the stream, and for
nearly half an hour Graham battled
with the waves. AS far as the DEVILS
Hole it appeared comparatively easy
for Graham, and then he plunged into
rough water that many times hid him
from sight. Only once, however, was
he in danger. A current suddenly
tossed him toward the shore, danger
ously near big boulder that showed
threateningly above the surface. By
desperate swimming he just avoided
the rock and was carried on down
stream. Below the DEVILS Hole, where
the river narrows, Graham had an
other hard battle. For time he was
completely hidden from view, and the
hundreds of spectators on the bridge
and along the banks grew greatly ex-
cited. Graham soon appeared in the
smoother water, where the river
widens, and the crowd cheered him
heartily. He declined to enter boat
and swan to the shore just below the
new trolley bridge. After a rub down
Graham said he felt no bad effects
from his hazard nuS e,y;r,

CATTLE DYING.
Lack of Food and Water Had for
Live stock Industry in
Oregon.

Burns, Ore, Sept. There has
never been time in the history of the
stock industry in Harvey county when
stock has suffered so much for feed
and water as during the present sum-
mer. The hot weather in the last
six months has dried the grass in the
hills, and the springs and small creeks
have been fenced up, causing the stock
to travel long distance for water and
return to range. which is causing a
great falling off in flesh. In several
places cattle are dying for want Of
feed and Water

In Explanation.

The trouble last Saturday night
with the lights, was due to shortage
of steam, caused by the removal of
two boilers at the electric light plant,
which are being replaced by two new
ones of much larger capacity. One
of the new boilers is now in position,
but could not be connected up in
time to carry the usual heavy satur-
day night load. With the increased
boiler capacity assured by the changes
now underway at the power house
the Light Company will be in far
better condition than ever before.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE tendency to
combine continues to be the most sig
nificant feature of railway development,
according to the annual report of the
interstate commerce commission, issued
today. The report says:
ut is not open to question that COM
petition between railroad carriers,
which formerly prevailed, has been
largely suppressed or at least brought
to condition of effective restraint.
Progress of consolidation, in one form
or another, will at no distant day con-
fine this competition within narrow and
unimportant limits. because the control
of most of the railway properties will
be merged in a few individuals whose
common interests impel them to act in
concert
While they will insure, as probably
nothing else can in an equal degree, the
observance of published tariffs and so
measurably remove some of the evils
which the act was designed to prevent,
the result involves consequences to the
public which claim most serious atten-
ton. A law which might have an
swered the purpose when competition
was relied upon to secure reasonable
rates, is demonstrably inadequate when
that competition is displaced by most
far-reaching and powerful combina-
tons. So the great change in conditions
calls for a corresponding change in the
regulating statute"
The commission reaffirms It's recon-
mendations for amending the interstate
commerce law. 1t urges the grave ne
cessity for legislation. The report says
the fact that no convictions have as yet
been obtained nor indictments found in
the cases of roads which were shown
by investigation last winter to be Civ
ing secret rates to grain shippers en-
phasizes the fact that the criminal pro-
visions of the present interstate law are
practically a dead letter.

BIG sTockYARDs FOR MOLINE.
Securing of Options on Large Tract Of
Land Believed to Indicate Plan.

Moline, Ill, Dec. 17.-Options have
been given, presumably to the Armour
Packing company. for upwards of q
thousand acres of land east of this city
for the establishment OF stockyards.
These options run until March /, and
landowners have been given generous
prices and each has been paid 5000 in
cash for the option. The land is well
situated for the purpose intended and
the option prices range from 500 to
$500 an acre. The territory is in the
Pleasant Valley district, sandy area,
fnsuring plenty of water from wells.
and situated in the formed by three
railroads, the Rock Island, the Bur-
lington, and the Milwaukee and ST.
Paul. 1t Is said that work is to be
commenced upon the yards in the
spring, at which time the yards are to
be removed from Sioux City and To-

Jan. 10 next, setting forth the reas-
ons they rely on to justify the advance
in rates. A new hearing Will be held
probably in Washington at the earliest
practicable date, the time and place are
yet to be decided. Most of the rail-
road officials Immediately left for theil
homes.
There We're present traffic and freight
managers of the Michigan Central
Lake Shore Erie, Pennsylvania, Balti
awanna, Lehigh Valley, Chesapeake &
Ohio and Southern railways.
In the course of his testimony Mr.
Gramfner said that all organized labor
is getting not less than 10 per cent adj
vance over the wages of last May, and
that the Lake Shore was paying in Chi
cago nearly 81 per ton more for coal
than it had to pay three months ago.
AS long as the present price of coal
is only a temporary matter, do you
think the increase in that item justities
you in imposing an increase in your
freight rates?" he was asked.
IF that We're the only question" he
answered, "and 1t was only temporary
matter l should say no, but coal is
not the only factor in the situation"
Mr.. Grammer said that the Lake
Shore received per ton per mile for
grain freight little less than the av-
erages on all other classes of freight
business.
When asked regarding the cost of
hauling train of fifty cars loaded with
grain from Chicago to Buffalo, Mr..
Grammer testified in effect that, while
the railroad would get from such
train a revenue of $4,000, the cost of
operating the train, wages, fuel. oil,
waste, etc, would amount to only $3.50.
He said that some protest had been
made because Of the advances being
operative in the Milwaukee and not in
the Minneapolis territory, but said that
no change could be made in the differ
entail of az cents between Chicago and
Minnea polls, and that the roads enter
ing Minneapolis had only themselves to
blame.
Mr.. Grammer testified that all rail-
road supplies had increased materially
in price since 1900, but admitted that,
speaking, the railroads were
never more prosperous. He cited the
extraordinary crops of cotton, corn
oats, etc. as reason for advancing
freight rates.

AS TO FREIGHT RATES
An Investigation Into the Subject by
the CnrniSsinn

the SOYnISStOH.
Washington, Dec. 17.--An investiga-
ton into the advance in the freight
rates on grain and grain products,
dressed meats and provisions from the
Mississippi river, Chicago, ETC., to New
York and eastern points, governed by
the New York rate, was begun today
by the interstate commerce commits
sion.
The testimony showed that 100000
revenue would be added to the profits
of one road alone by the contemplated
increase. 1t was claimed that the adj
vances were justified by the increased
cost of operations.
The chief witness was Traffic Man.
ager George j. Grammar, of the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern. Traf-
fic Manager B. b. Mitchell, of tho
Michigan Central, also testified, the
latters' testimony, however, being
qualified by the statement that his
reason for increasing rates was be-
cause the presidents of the roads had
ordered the increase.
Mr.. Grammar claimed that railroad
expenditures were increasing much
more rapidly than the earnings; that
even DIT lle lSiesiSeu tdilllS gram
was not being hauled at a profit. The
principal items of increase in expense
We're maintenance of engines and fuel
supply, and he predicted, while admit
ting that the present price of coal I'M
doubtedly was artificial, that coal pri-
ces would not get back to the old fig
ures for years.
At the suggestion of counsel and
officials of the road represented the
commission decided to require the
railroads to file written statements by.

The Horse Market.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Compared with
last week the horse market shows less
strength, but it has settled to salts
factory basis, with buyers showing a
disposition to take all decent stock at
steady prices. Wednesdays official re-
ceipts were 46S enough to supply the
demands. Commission men are dis
couraging heavier shipments until after
the holidays, when there probably will
be a good outlet for all classes of at
tractive quality. Offerings today were
OF the same class. mostly chunks and
drafters, with nothing of consequence
in the light harness class. There was
more buying for the eastern trade today
than at the opening yesterday and some
of the best chunks and expressers were
bought on eastern orders.
