CHICAGO THE WONDERFUL.
The international Livestock Exposition
One of the Features Of the City and
the Greatest Exhibition of its Kind


Chicago no sooner gets the centennial
celebration of the past week out OF
the way than she begins to consider
means for making the International
livestock Exposition. to be held this
fall, better than any ever held in the
past. This. for Chicago, is not difficult
to accomplish, for over $33,000,000 of
livestock was handled at the union
stock yards last year, almost 100000
carloads of livestock being received at
the Chicago market during this per-
iod. This makes the city one of the
greatest livestock centers in the world.
The International Livestock EXPOSE
ton has been an educational agency of
the greatest value to those who have
visited the show In recent years from
the cattle ranges and feeding grounds
of the west. These sources of supply
are placed within easy reach OF the
city by such trunk lines of railway as
the Chicago .S Northwestern, which
brings to Chicago each year 10000 car
loads of livestock. raised and fed In
the territory 1t reaches. The people Nv
ing In this rich agricultural region,
tributary to Chicago, are evincing each
year more interest in the betterment OF
their stock. The exhibition at the un-
ion stockyards. during the international
Exposition this fall, will be one OF the

REBATE QUESTION INVOLVED
Important Meeting of the Interstate
Commerce Commission Will Be Held
Its Powers Greatly Enlarged by the
Provisions of the EIkins Law-other
News.

] Washington, Oct THE business
session last week of the interstate
commerce commission marked the be-
ginning Of what is considered the mos
| body The largely increased powers OF
the commission derived from the anti
thrust legislation passed at the last SEES
sion of congress, together with the
many important cases now pending
some of which have been set for hear

make the coming winter an importan,
one in this branch of the federal gov
eminent
| AT the meeting last week number
of the more important matters now be-
! fore the interstate commerce commits
sion for decision and action were Sc,
for hearing, one of the most important
being the case of the Georgia Yellow
| Pine association against the Illinois
Central and all the other railroads
which by main, branch or leased lines
versy is known to the public as "the
great yellow pine war 1t is the first
complaint brought before the commits
sion under the provisions Of the Elkins
anti rebate law.
The Georgia yellow Pine association
in Its complaints to the interstate COM
merce commission, alleged that the
railroads doing business In the belt
had for long time been In the habit
of granting disguised rebates, In the
nature of the so-called tap line d.
visions, to rival concerns, not members
of the Yellow Pine association. In
plain terms, the railroads were accused
of allowing percentage Of transporta
ton charges to numbering concerns,
owning and operating logging rail-
roads. which tapped the lines of the de-
PENDANTS, these logging roads being ac-
counted, in making the tap line divi-
sions, as regular interstate carriers.
The defendant roads claim that the
practice of allowing tap line division
is in no way connected with the giving
of rebates. The case is regarded as a
test of the powers of the Elkins sta
tute. The commission will hold a hear
ing on the case In Atlanta, Ca, on Oc-
tober %.
Another case which is said to in
volve the possible extinction of the
peach industry OF Georgia, is the COM
plant of the Georgia Peach Growers
association against the Atlantic Coast
Line and other railroads, which has
been set for hearing in Atlanta on Oc-
tober 20. The association claimed that
of the railroads We're permitted to con-
tinue the prevailing tariff on peaches,
which is alleged to be in defiance of the
state is doomed.
On October II. will be heard the COM
plant of the Cincinnati Chamber of
Commerce against the Ohio Southwest
ern and other railroads, involving the
immediate enforcement of the safety
appliance act of 1898, the terms of
which have not yet been complied
with.
