INVESTIGATING TRANSPORTATION.
Principal Railroad Lines, Including the
Southern Pacific Are In
the Prosecution.

Washington. ID. c., Sept. 5.-The
Interstate Commerce commission has
today begun the hearing in regard to
the charges brought against a number
of railroad companies and private
concerns owning private rolling stock
for the transportation of their pro-
ducts. 1t is charged that the act to
regulate interstate commerce is being
violated in several particulars by the
defendants. The proceedings are d.
rected against the Armour Car Line,
the American Refrigerator Transport
tation company, the Santa Fe Refrige-
rator Dispatch and the following rail-
roads: St. Louis and San Francisco:
Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe; st.
Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern,
Central of Georgia: Southern Atlantic
Coast Line: SeabOard Air Line, Penn
sylvania, Southern Pacific and Kan
sas City Southern.
1t is alleged that by way of rebates
or other devices the refrigerator lines
are acting for the railroads as author.
lied agents, and the railroads, acting
through the refrigerator lines, are
collecting and receiving for the refrig.
GRAFTON of fruit and vegetables lower
rates from some shippers than they
are contemperaneously receiving for
similar services rendered to other
shippers. This is held to be in viola
tioa of sections two and three of the
act to regulate interstate commerce.
Another charge is that failure and
neglect to publish at shipping stations
and file with the Interstate Commerce
Commission the rates and charges I'M
posed for The refrigeration of fruits
and vegetables constitutes violation
of section & of the Interstate Com
merce act.
The present proceedings are con.
sidered as test, and it is said they
will prove of great value in informing
congress that new laws are needed for
national control of private car lines
where combinations are made with
railroads, which affect the freight and
refrigerator rchedules.

Crop Conditions.

CoTToN.-The light, scattered show
ers were not as a rule sufficient to ma
terially affect farming operations in
the growing portion OF the state. The
condition of the cotton crop is not
promising. Reports from some loca-
tions indicate an improvement during
the week, while those from other To-
calities show deterioration. Every
thing considered, the crop as a whole
shows no material change durtug the
week. Bolls are opening rapidly and
picking is progressing under favor
able conditions. The plant is shedding
badly in some places: caterpillars and
boil worms are injuring the crop to
some extent. Caterpillars are being
poisoned in many localities.
SUGAR CANE.-FayOrable growing
weather has continued over the sugar
region and the cane crop is doing
we'll and promises an excellent yield.
RICE. Showers interfered to some
exeent with rice harvest and threshing.
North winds early in the week blighted
some late rice.
oRN.-Showery weather interfered
with corn gathering in southern par
lshes, and in a few places rotting on
the stalk is reported. The crop is
making an irregular yield.
Observation-Disclosures gardens
are making good growth. Hay making
was interferred with to some extent by
showers. Sweet potatoes promise a
good yield.

TWO sets OF feelings in going about
can't help tive all have. But you
especially have; for a part of your
business is sympathy. Well.kept
lawns and well-tilled fields, nice homes
ana nice people, are cheerful to you,
as they are to everyone. Tumble
down buildings, poorfences, men har-
rassed by burdens too heavy for them,
overworked women, and dirty-faced
children, you may be strong to get on
with; but you you'd be more than hui

Faint divides the two sorts of peo-
pie; one paints, and the other don't.
Or, perhaps, the thrifty paint we'll; the
unthrifty paint i'll.

There are two ways to do it; one is
bound to paint often; the other to use
good paint.
1t costs about half as much to paint
Devoe as to point with any other paint;
for Devoe takes fewer gallons than
