ROADS MAY IGNORE RULING
Report IL that Certain Railroads VIII
Disregard Commissiop's Express
sion on Grain Rates.

CHICAGO, April 26.-New York Chicago
lines will ignore the ruling Of the Inter-
state Commerce commission that the .e-
cent advance in the rate on grain and grain
products is not justified. Their position
is that the commission has nothing to do
with the rates. An eastern trafiic manager
Ia quoted as follows:
THE function of the commission is to
decide whether a rate lie discriminatiVe and
whether lower rates are given TO some
shippers than to others. Even in such
cases tho commission has to bring suit in
the courts to enforce it's ruling, IL the road
refuses to obey.
Heretofore the railroads have been
changing rates twice year. the rates dur
ing the summer, when lake competition has
to be met. being lower than the rates dur
ing the winter months, when navigation ts
closed. This year no reduction has been
made at the opening Of navigation. The
explanation for the refusal to lower rates
this season is that the railroads have not
cars enough to handle all the business.
This. however, is not borne out by the
facts. While the advance in grain rates
during the last year, according to the tar
in, is not great, yet II is a fact that the
railroads are now getting fully 30 per cent
more, revenue out OF the business than they
did before the courts issued the INJUNCTION
against rate cutting The tariff rates prior
to the issuance OF injunctions on grain
were as follows:
Domestic Export
(cents), Gents.
per 100 lbs. per 100 lbs.
chicaso to New
mississippi to New; -" -"
The present rates are:
Domestic Export
(cents), (cents),
per 100 lbs. per 100 lbs.
chHlSsSEO to New % =
Mississippi 1i to New 4" Z"
York .,................ % 10
Formerly tariffs were made from rs to
so per cent higher than the railroads ex-
pected to get. This provided a suficient
margin to allow the cutting OF the rates
and the paying Of rebates. Notwithstand-
ing these facts and the unanswerable con-
illusions reached by the commission, the
oficials Of the eastbound roads, while they
admit that they get from rs to 80 per cent
more revenue than formerly, insist that the
cost Of operation has increased from 30 to
100 per cent, and for this reason the recent
advance in rates was made.
''The position taken by the Interstate
Commerce commission is inconsistent and
will not be upheld by the courts. In it's
ruling It says the advance in the rates on
iron, steel. packing house products and
dressed beef is not unreasonable, although
the rates on these articles were advanced
from 25 to so per cent while the advance
in grain rates doss not amount to over 10
per cent. 1t is probable" said this oficial,
that at our meeting here next Wednesday
a reduction will be made in the eastbound
rates on -four, but this will not be on ac-
count Of the decision OF the commission,
but because Of existing trafhc conditions"

cats" coming up the back yard path from the stable There were 13 by actual count. The music ceased, a rush was made to get under cover, and the animals went back to their haunt.
 From Kinco, Me, a fishing story comes to the New York Sun which is quite as interesting as the forego- ing tale of skunks It was told by a wilderness fisherman in these words:
 If you know where there's a big trout and you want him. just get a young field mouse. hook it lightly and let it swim naturally over the big fellows retreat.
 T have just returned from a three weeks trip in the Fish Pond region work. There, was big trout lying be side some lily pads at point where a cold brook flowed into Little Fish pond that made me envious.
 q tried every fly in the book and I f1shed at early morning, noon and night, but pever with Q response to my flies Often the big fish would come clear out of the water and gather in June fly or a miller, but a copy of that same fly with hook attached had no attraction for him.
 q even resorted to the barnyard hackle,' the angle worm and live in sects, and put them right under his nose, but they were regarded with lofty disdain. s4
 "A day or two before left we hap pened to unearth field mouse's nest and there were several tiny young sters there. They were smart enough to scamper at a lively pace, but not to escape, and we gathered four of them up more out of curiosity than any thing else.
 While looking them over it oc cured to me that they would make 8 tempting morsel, scurrying across the water, and So that evening at sunset went out to the big trouts retreat hooked one of the little mice lightly through the back and let him dowr gently on, the water at 8 point so thai he would swim directly over the spot at which the big trout repeatedly rose The mouse swam like duck, but he didn't swim far before the big trout came clear out of the water and sanl with the bait in his mouth
 When we landed him found tht hook deep down in his throat and l am confident that he just couldn' wait to get that dainty morsel in con tact with his digestive organs Ths fish tipped the scales at 51s pounds and in spite of the fact that am $ fly fisherman, I'm rather proud of hay ing outwitted that crafty old fellow
