said of the average optician, The Her

Prof. Mayne Arnold, whose adver-

gentleman of education, skill and
long experience in his speciality, the
human eye. The editor of The Her

more than one thousand certificates,

prominent physicians of every city
he visits. Not only hundreds of ply
sicians Of Iowa gladly lend their
names, but those of other adjoining
states as well, testify to Prof. Ar
nold's attachments and skill as an OPP
tician. When men of such character
and professional sagacity as these,
come forward by the hundreds and
put their names under such strong
testimonials it is no idle talk, but
means something, and leaves no
room for doubt in the minds of the
most incredulous, of the Professors
ability with his splendid appliances,
superior glasses and long experience,
to benefit those desiring his services,
often beyond their most sanguine ex-
pectations. 1t will therefore pay
you to call at his optical parlors and

RATE WAR BREAKS
LOOSE ONCE MORE.
Lines Between the Missouri River
And Atlantic Seaboard May
Be Involved,
BURLINGTON AND c. & A. IN IT.
Usual Annual Outbreak on the Ma
jority of Lines Occurs News
OF the Railroads.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE Tribune today
says;
The great rate war in which the
western roads are engaged threatens TO
involve all the lines between the Mis-
souri, river and the Atlantic seaboard.
The Burlington and Chicago and AL
ton have Just give notice that they VIII
put in effect a rate from Missouri river
points to Baltimore, Newport News and
Norfolk Of 10 cents for 100 pounds. This
is only 8 cents higher than the rate
from Kansas City to the gulf ports
The action was not taken on account
Of the reduction made by the Great
western and northwestern roads, but Is
in conformity with the position they
have taken during more than Il year,
that the differences in the grain rate
between the gulf and south Atlantic
ports should not be more than 3 cents
for 100 pounds.
The rate announced by the Burlng-
ton and Alton from Missouri river
points to South Atlantic ports is one
cent less than the regular tariff rate
of the Eastern lines from st. Louis to
the seaboard. This cuts out the rate
between the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers, It Is said by the Burlington Of
flcials that under their arrangement
with the eastern roads their system
gets an arbitrary OF five cents Tor 100
pounds. This leaves only 10 cents TO
the eastern lines, or six cents less than
the regular tariff rate.
GRAIN RATE CUT,
New York. Feb. l6-Harmony of
rates In trunk line territory Is threat
ened, the Buffalo-NeW York lines hav-
Ing served notice that the freight rate
on Lake grain for export will be re-
duced Wednesday to cents for 100
pounds between Buffalo and New York,
This reduction means an abolition Of
the differential initiated by the Penn
sylyania and the Lehigh Valley in IA
vor Of Philadelphia last summer and is
designed to give the port of New York
the same privileges heretofore enjoyed
by Philadelphia.
An effort is being made to cOnflne the
| fight to the comparative insignificant
| item Of lake grain for export, but fears
| are expressed that II may spread 10
other classes Of freight and upset the
| hitherto harmonious conditions In
trunk line territory.

IN FAVOR OF MOFFAT.
The Secretary OF Interior Decides Long
Fought Contest In Gore Canyon.

The secretary Of the interior has de-
cided the contest between the Moffat
railroad and the New Century Light
and Power company over rights TO the
Gore canyon, and both parties appear
satisfied, says the Denver Post. The
public interest lies In the fact that the
railroad viii be built through the can.
yOn, and that the power company's res
ervoir will be constructed.
Charles j. Hughes, Jr,, attorney for
the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific
railroad, has received a telegram from
the Washington attorney Of the COM
pany, that TIE secretary Of the interior
had approved the application for a
railroad right Of way through the can
yon and had disapproved the New Gem
fury company's filing for a reservoir
site, The secretary also approved the
Century company's application for a
right Of way for pipe line through the
canyon,
1--WE have always conceded that the
power compnys right for the pipe line
was superior" said Mr., Hughes, "and
this In no way interferes with our en-
terprise We get the right of way for
our railroad and have what we want"
The case was carried up TO the secre-
tary on appeal from the decision Of the
commissioner of the general land office,
who had decided In favor Of the New
Century company.
The officers Of the New Century com.
pany state that the pipe line and dam
filings, as originally made, are confirm
cd but their filing on government land
for a dam site II dlsapproved. The de-
cision Will enable the company to build
a dam and pipe line for plant Of 200
10 % 00O horse power. Withholding
permission to use government land for
the reservoir Will not prevent the
building Of the latter as the company
holds options on sufficient patented land
for the purpose.
1T doesn't make any difference what
decision has been rendered we will not
give up the fight said Robert l., lIar.
per, secretary and treasurer OF the New
Century Light and Power company
The New Century company and the
Moffat people are contesting their rights
to land filed upon in Gore canyon,
where Harper and Mum, Of the New
Century company purpose to build a
dam for water whereWith TO supply
light and power to all those in need OF
the same,
you see, we have options on enough
patented land to enable us to build our
sereYoir anyhow" said Mr.. Harper,
only we could operate with greater
scope II we could win the case before
the secretary Of the interior. We won
before the commissioner OF the general
land office and the matter was appealed
TO the secretary
1--WE have, however secured renewals
Of all the options we held and these run
for six months. We will build the dam,
