ST. Louis, Mo-, November 81
In addressing Q meeting OF the Vel
how Piners, . prominent lumbermen's
club OF a.. Louis. Missouri last night
Mr., Nelson w. Mcleod, president Of
the Federal Rate Regulation AssO
citation, recently organized. with head
quarters In St. Louis. discussed at
some length the question Of federal
rate making. NJ. Mcleod called at.
tention 10 the fact that the three par
ties In interest in this discussion are,
first, the shipper and all those con-
nected with him In the production OF
tonnage: second, the carrier and all
those connected with him In trans.
p~ortation; third, the consumer. He
showed how the rebate and secret
preference, either as applied to indi.
vidual shippers or communities. Is In.
variably relied upon an a reason why
the interstate commerce commission
should have power to name rates, and
demonstrated quite conclusively that
these evils, being all related to the
administration OF the rate rather than
the fixing OF It. have no connection
whatever with the source IRON which
the rate emanates.
He brought out the fact that at the
Chicago convention Of the Federal
Rate Regulation Association. the resO
buttons which were unanimously pass.
ed, unsparingly condemned all these
evils.
Mr.. Mcleod outlined the change In
policy through which the position Of
the advocates Of government rate
making han shifted from demanding
power q year ago for the interstate
commerce commission to name q nx'
cd and in1exible rate to the present
position which contends only for the
establishment Of a maximum reason
able rate. He showed how mate
rally different the one position Il
from the other. and urged upon his
hearers to consider the consequences
Of political rate making entirely dis
associated from the evils which all
were agreed must be corrected, but
which q great many careful students
Of the transportation question con-
tend cannot In any manner be miti-
gated by giving q political commission
power to hx rates. MI. Mcleod call.
ed attention to the fact that all prop.
cry valuations r predicated upon ex-
listing transportation charges and Ms.
toms. and that the commercial inter
ests Of he country are adjusted to
the present system Of rate making.
He called especial attention TO the
effect Of this system upon the yellow
pine business. concerning which he
said:

Oftentimes the eXegesis and apothe-
man life make for more than is sup
posed. When the late Reuben We'll
started in business in Howard street
in Spokane he probably never dream
ed of the grand finale of his career
as chronicled in the great daily of
Spokane, which interjected into the
midst of an otherwise adequate obitu-
airy of the deceased department store
proprietor the following:
Mr.. We'll leaves an estate valued
at 100000. The store employs about
$50 people and does a business of half
million a year. Mr.. We'll was a
firm believer in advertising, and it
was a source Of pride and satisfac-
ton that he carried an advertisement
in every issue of the Spokesman-Re-
view since he started in business
If that was good, read the follow
ing possibilities:
"Mr. Ham leaves an estate valued
at $350,000. He always advertised
the Grouse Land company in the
Spoke He failed to adj
vertise the Mead campaign in these
columns, but he won out just the
same?"
James McMud died with only IS
cents in his trouser pockets. His
name has never been noted on the
advertising lists of the Spokesman
Review"

PORTLAND. Ore, May 9.-The
first of the long list of notable gather
ings to be held in Portland this year
opened today with the assembling of
the delegates to the triennial conven-
ton of the Grand Division Of the
Order of Railway Conductors. The
gathering is attended by several thou
sand delegates and visitors represent
ing every important line of railway
in the United States, Canada and
Mexico
Today was given over to the for
malities attending the opening of the
convention. +. +. Clark of Cedar
Rapids, Ia, the present head of the
order, presided over the session. The
visitors were cordially greeted on be-
half of the city, the management OF
the Lewis and Clark exposition, and
the Mt Hood division, No. 81, of the
order, which is acting as host to the
convention. Brief addresses were de-
livered by Grand Chief Conductor
Clark, William J. Maxwell, the grand
secretary and treasurer, and other
prominent officers and members of the
order. These touched upon the past
and present condition of the order
and traced its history from the day

MEETING OF
RAILWAY CONDUCTORS

in 1868 when few conductors of the
Illinois Central railway met at Am
boy, H., and formed what they called
conductors union, the parent body
to the present great organization.
The convention will be in session
10 days or two weeks and much i'm
pOrtant business will be transacted.
Reports will be presented showing
that the order now extends through
out North America, that it consists
of 463 divisions with an aggregate
membership of 33,471. There are 3d.
600 members of the mutual benefit
department. The reports will show
also the results attained by the order
in the way of securing higher wages
and better conditions of labor for its
members. The order is constitutional
ly opposed to strikes, but has never
theless accomplished as much if not
more for it's membership than any
other organized labor body.
The Ladies Of the Royal Club, the
woman's auxiliary to the order, is
also holding its convention here. 1t
consists of the wives and daughters
of railway conductors and has had a
rapid growth since it was organized
at Fort Wayne, Ind, in 1888.

it is gone by the end of March and
September, and even at the poles has
disappeared by midsummer. Indeed,
Arctic exploration on Mars would in
volve no great hardship.
Since Mars receives but half as
much heat from the sun as does our
earth, it may seem a little strange
that the snow should melt entirely
away from it's poles. We must not
infer, however, from this that their
climate is warmer, but merely that
there is less water, and therefore less
snow to melt. over large portions
of the polar caps the snow is prob
ably but a few inches in depth.
The climate of Mars is one of ex-
tremes. While their summers are
doubtless quite comfortable, as judg-
ed by a terrestrial standard, their
winters, except in the torrid zone,
must be extremely severe. The tenn
| perature in the polar regions very
| likely approaches the absolute zero
| of COLOR AGO degrees Fahrenheit.
| If in these localities there is any ami
NAL life, it must certainly during the
long winter either die or hibernate
underground.

AMERICAN CHURCH
CONGRESS

NEW YORK, May 9.-The Ameri-
can Church congress began it's annual
session today in Holy Trinity church,
Brooklyn. The feature of the opening
session was an address by Bishop
Brewster of Connecticut. This eve
ming the congress is to discuss the
future of the negro in America. Bish-
op Lines of Newark, Bishop Strange
of East Carolina and Holmes Conrad
of Washington will lead in the dis
cussion. Other topics to be discussed
during the week are the institutional
church, the Bible as history, the
"Church and Public Brigandage," the
essentials of spiritual life, and the
outcome of the theological movements
of the nineteenth century.
