when a false report of his death was
circulated in America, representative
of the Associated Press called at his
rooms. Mr. Harte then appeared to be
perfectly well. He laughed heartily
and quoted Mark Twain's old saying
about the report being greatly exag'
gerated. Except for a little cold
said Mr.. Harte, 81 have no ailments or
complaints. While am getting to be
a pretty old man-pointing to his
snow white hair-there is life in the
old dog yet" and thereupon he lit a
cigar so large that it would have done
credit to any of his Poker Flat friends.
He was hoping, he also said, to do
more work, but he confessed he was
growing lazy.
Mr.. Harte had been suffering from
swelled tonsils since December last.
but he did not consider the attack to

went to bed and died in few hours.
His end was peaceful.

ON A LEVEL WITH WHEAT.
Milwaukee Road Makes New Rate on
Export Flour.

Chicago, May THE Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul road has placed
export flour on a level with wheat in
the matter of transportation charges.
This action. according to The Record
Herald, which makes the announce
ment, will be followed by all Western
lines with similar rates and means a
saving of millions yearly to the millers
of the Northwest.
For years the millers have vigorous
1y contended that if the rates were
made the same on wheat and flour
grain would not be taken from the
United States, but would be made into
flour here and then shipped for export.
Strong appeals for relief have recently
been made to President Roosevelt di-
rect, to congressional committees and
to the interstate commerce commits
sion.
The rate from St. Paul and Minneap-
oils on both flour and export grain is
now 20R cents; formerly it was %
cents on -four. The rate of 20k cents
applies to part lake and part rail ship
ments. From st. Paul the rate on
-four for export by all-rail is rs and on
grain 171b.

DISCUSS RATE SITUATION.
Meeting of Executive Officers of West
ern Roads.

! Chicago, May 7.-Executive officers
of Western roads met here during the
day to discuss the rate situation. Of
this meeting The Post says:
"The object of the meeting is to pre-
vent freight rates from going to pieces.
Officially it is stated that rates are in
no way threatened, being maintained
in strict conformity with the injunc-
ton of the federal circuit court. AS
a matter of fact since the injunctions
were issued outward obedience has
been made TO the law. However, when
a road wants to secure a big shipment
by cutting rate special schedule is
filed with the interstate commerce
commission and the road is safe within
the law. Since the injunctions were
issued more than 600 such tariffs have
been filed. 1t is claimed that these
tariffs have been filed to take care of
contracts obtained before the issuance
of the restraining order and that all
such contracts will soon be out of the
way"

however. then begins TO turn over, and
by the time the animal is thirty the
