 It goes to show, however, how parties who have been exposed to the fever may get into far away sections, and in the face of this warning the quarantine in Newport has this day beenraised.

 Since Newport has been quar- s.ntined the town has been free of tramps, hoboes and that class who have never seen a health certificate, and in these times it has been a good riddance of a dangerous menace, located as we are, where every freight and pas senger train on one of the big north and south roads offers the refugee a chance to drop off.

NEW INTERSTATE COMMERCE
MEASURE PROPOSED.
LARGE POWERS PROVIDED
includes Authority to Examine Ac-
counts, Declare What Rates and
Practices Are Reasonable or 9th
erwise and to Fix Minimum Rates
Recovery for OVercharges

Washington, Dec. 1.-The senate
committee on Interstate commerce
yesterday received a copy of the rate
bill prepared by the interstate COM
merce commission to be submitted to
congress for an amendment to the in
terstate commerce law. The bill
proposes to materially amend the
present Jaw. The more important
provisions of the bill are summarized
as follows:
It defines the word Transports
ton" as used in the bill so as to in
clude elevators, terminals, cars
whether owned by the carrier or par
ties for refrigeration, ventilation or
other purposes, and requires the car
rier to furnish such transportation on
the reasonable request of shippers,
publishing the total charges for such
transportation as now required By
Jaw
1t authorizes the commission
through inspectors to examine the ac-
counts of interstate railroads, forbids
the keeping of any other books Of &C
count except those prescribed by the
commission and requires the roads to
make great variety of reports in re-
gard to all it's business. 1t gives the
commission power, when complaint is
made that rates are unjust or unrea-
sonable or discriminatory, to deter
mine upon a full hearing what the
reasonable raie or practice is which
should take the place of the rate or
practice condemned by the commits
sion, and in discharging this duty the
commission is given power:
''TO fix a maximum rate.
''To fix differential and prescribe
both maximum and minimum rates,
and to enforce the same when that
may be necessary to prevent discrim-
ination forbidden by the bill, but not
otherwise.
'To change the classification of any
article"
1t also gives the commission power,
in case it fixes a joint rate and the
carriers. interested are not able to
agree on it's apportionment, to make
a supplemental order apportioning.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1905-12-04

Similar power is given to establish
through routes and joint rates and to
fix the terms and conditions under
which the routes shall be operated, If
the carriers fail or refuse to agree up
on the same.
1t also provides that where the own
er Of the property transported rem
ders any service in connection with
the transportation, or furnishes any
instrumentality used, the commission
may on complaint determine what is
a reasonable charge to be paid by the
carriers for such service or instru
mentality.
Tt provides for the collection in the
courts of overcharges found due by
the commission and penalties for fail
ure of carriers to observe final orders
of the commission.
1t provides that final orders OF the
commission shall take effect within
80 days from the time they are served
on the carrier and unless vacated by
the courts said orders will remain eff
fective for one year.
In case the carriers complained OF
object to putting the orders OF the
commission into effect they have the
right to have the same reviewed in
the circuit court of the United States.
The court, if it plainly appears that
the order is unlawful but not other
wise, may suspend its operation with
in the discretion of the court. APP
peal to the supreme court without SUI
persedeas is allowed. Complaints
may be made by a railway commits
sion Of any state or territory apd
shall be investigated by the interstate
commerce commission, or the com
mission may take the initiative in the
Investigations.
If a carrier does not comply with a
Inal order of the commission, or If
any officers or agents knowingly fail
or neglect to obey the same, they shall
forfeit to the United States $4,000 for
each offense. Each vic. alton shall
be deemed a separate offense and the
continuance Of violation each day
shall be deemed as a separate offense.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-The storm on
the upper lakes, which brought death
to II men so far as known and
wrought untold havoc among sailing
craft had almost subsidized last night
and the work of rescue and relief to
numerous vessels left stranded on the
rocks is being carried on with the ut
most vigor. Up to midnight eight
vessels, representing a total OF $915,-
600, had been reported total wrecks
without any chance whatever of being
saved and there are still a dozen or
more vessels the whereabouts OF
which are unknown and which may
have to be classed among the list of
vessels totally destroyed when final
ly located At least a score of YES
sells have been reported stranded, but
since the abatement of the hurricane
it is believed the majority of these
boats will be saved. Up to the pres
ent time the total loss to shipping
caused by the storm is estimated at
$1,500,000 Additions are bound to be
made to this loss and when the final
returns are in the figures will in all
probability be at least $2000,0O0

ILLINOIS RIVER MANAGEABLE.

Vessels Thereon Must Submit to In
spection.
Washington, Nov. 30.-The Illinois
river was declared navigable waters
of the United States '|and subject to
the steamboat operation laws. This
action was taken by the department
of commerce and labor as the result
of long continued complaints that
vessels navigating this river were
wholly without inspection or nayiga-
ton rules.
That part of the river to which the
new jurisdiction applies runs between
the Illinois and Michigan canal and
the Illinois state dam and dock at Cop
peras creek, 88 miles. When the Chi
cago canal is completed the illinois
river will constitute one of the links
of the waterway connecting the great
lakes with the gulf of Mexico. Pc
oria is located midway along this riv-
er and in summer many excursion
steamers run from it in each direction
to resorts along its banks. The com
plants say that these boats are often
overcrowded, that their equipment is
never inspected and that they should
be subject to the navigation rules.

The judiciary Committee reported
favorably on House Bill 81, the statute

considered with the bill.
The same report from the same COM
mfttee was made on House Bill 81, and
the same course taken.
Bishop from the Committee on Pub
lie Expenditure reported that the
Woods Rapid Transit investigation
resolution involved no question of pub
lie expenditure. 1t might involve a
question of violation of Territorial law,
and if it did it should go to the Judi
ciary Committee. But where it proper
ly belonged was in the hands of a
special committee, with the introducer
as chairman, as the man who was
seeking information. And this was
not because the Public Expenditures
Committee wanted to shirk any duty.
Dickey moved the appointment of a
special committee with Woods as
chairman. This carried, and President
Isenberg appointed Woods, Dickey and
Achi as such committee.
Achi asked to be excused from duty,
as being the father of the law and ar
interested party. Woods, also, wanted
to be excused. He had introduced the
resolution, but had done it by request
The President wanted to hold his
committee, but finally excused Ach
and appointed Lane.
Dickey said if interested parties were
to be debarred, he ought to be excused
too as being a small stockholder il

one way or the other.
