Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Defend
Dried Fruit Rates.

The interstate commerce commission
has received the separate answer of the
Santa Fe and Southern California rail-
roads to the complaint of a California
fruit shipper in the alleged discrimina-
ton in rates on dried fruits sent from
southern California to Missouri river
points and Chicago, as compared with
elimination and say the lower rates on
the latter commodities were made to en-
courage the fruit trade and to enable
the lemons of California to compete with
the foreign products in eastern markets
and to enable the apple growers to get
rid of surplus stock.

That Is the Average for italian Track
Repairers Near Lawrence.

Lawrence, Kan, June 12-The Ital-

the Union Pacific, have a cheerful habit
of striking about every morning before
breakfast and a gain right after dinner
if the conditions are favorable. They
are paid fifteen cents an hour, and can
work about as many hours a day as
they want to. This is about as much
money each day for them as they could
make a month where they came from.

just as well give it to them as to keep
it or spend it for something else

WIRELESS

Although the navy officials lack
faith in wireless biography as a COM
mercial proposition, yet as a war
proposition they see both dangers
and possibilities in it. This may
seem inconsistent, especially when
Congress is to be asked next month
to give the government control of all
wireless stations on our coast in times
of a The navy department IN
sists that at such times there shall be
no hindrance to communications be-
tween ships and shore.
The truth is, the navy department
and Sig. Marconi are not on good
terms. He deals with other coun-
tries, but his terms are considered too
high in this country, and the navy
officers get ever by saying that he
uses too high power and too high
masts to permit his system to be-
| come generally useful. This remains
to be decided by actual and repeated

fact that messages are transmitted in
any weather across two thousand
miles Of stormy sea is glory enough
for the present.
1t seems that the Marconi company
asks Uncle Sam to pay a certain sum
for each equipment delivered, and a
royalty for each year during the life
of the patents. The aggregate cost
| would thus be heavy, and this gov
| eminent is therefore experimenting
| with other apparatus Of a like nature
and purpose. The navy department
is fully awake to the possibilities Of
| wireless biography, and 1T will soon
. have in hand either the Marconi
system or something better. 1t is
| admitted that wireless biography
is already far enough advanced to be
a necessity in every well-equipped
navy, both for the purpose of COM
munication between ships, and from
ship to shore and vice versa. It's pos
sibilities in caseof war under certain
| circumstances are almost limitless,
especially when a kite can be made
