1t seems to be taken for granted that
the Ann Arbor will build fine new
depot in Owosso this year.
Lent began this year on the Sth day
of March and will end on the 23d day
of April, which will be Easter Sunday.
The last possible date that. Easter may
occur upon is April 25th and. it is only
at long periods that Easter will fall as
late as that. In 1885 Easter came on
April 25th, and it will not again, fall on
that date until 1912. Easter has not
fallen on April 23d since 1S48, and after
this year will not fall on THAT date
until 1915.

WHAT THE WEST HAS AT STAKE.

In the year 1904 there were shipped
out of California, by rail- 1920 car
loads of fruit. OF these 7,051 were
green deciduous fruits, 38,574 citrus
fruit, 14,546 dried fruit, 1894 raisins,
966 nuts, 5,807 canned fruits. In the
same year the shipments of fruit by
sea, from San Francisco, amounted in
total to but 4,371 carloads, this en-
bracing all kinds. These figures show
the Importance of the railroads in the
transportation of the fruits of Cali
fornia to markets. The fruits carried
by rail exceeded those moved by sea
by more than $4,000 carloads.
The shipments of vegetables by rail
from California in 1904 made up the
respectable total of 2, 381 carloads of
ten tons each. The fruit and vegeta-
bles, grown for expectation in Cal1for-
MIA, have steadily increased their ex-
port volume With the maintenance of
favorable conditions their expectation
is certain to grow, with corresponding
augmentation of the wealth and pros
perity of this State. BY rail fruits and
vegetables from California are moved
at rates that enable them to compete
in the eastern markets with products
of orchards and farms many hundreds
of miles nearer the great centers OF
population than California. In other
words, discriminative rates are given
to California as against points far east
of California.
Suppose the discrimination to be
eliminated and mileage basis of rate
making to be substituted by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. What
then? California would be unable to
compete and it's products of orchard
and field would be cut off from mar
kets to which they now make their
way and in which they are competi-
lively sold. Resolutions adopted by a
commercial organization, in San Fran
cisco have emphasized that important
point as follows:
"The export commerce in the green
citrus and deciduous fruits, the dried
and cured fruits, the vegetables, the
wine and the lumber products of Cali
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1905-12-30

fornia must be carried over two thou
sand five hundred miles to reach their
center of distribution in the United
States. These products compete with
like Eastern products which are car
ried an average distance of less than
two hundred and fifty miles. Owing
to the disparity in volume between the
east-bound and west-bound traffic, the
railroads have heretofore carried the
products of California the distance
noted and delivered them in Eastern
markets at a rate that has enabled
them to successfully compete with like
products in the freight movement of
which but one-tenth of the distance
has been covered. That this fostering
policy, referable to the existing con-
ditions of traffic, would be continued
under political control and direction
of freight distribution in the United
States is not even probable"
While it is proposed by some to
revolutionize the basis of rate-making,
the Stake that California has in the
outcome is germane consideration.
Prior to the opening of communica-
ton by rail with the east" said Gen
M L. SuipIldu dI Tie LutueT Dur
bank banquet at San Francisco, the
California fruit industry had no motive
for expansion. So late as 1880 we ex-
ported of fruit but SAG carloads of
ten tons each. But in 1S90-ten years
later-we sent out 1914 carloads. In
a report which | made that year it
was shown that the value of the fruit
crop, sent out of the State by rail,
exceeded that of wheat and flour ex.
ports by over half a million dollars
Sixteen thousand carloads seemed an
enormous output, and by many it was
thought we had reached the limit of
eastern consumption. But mark what
has followed. In 1904 our shipments
out of the State, by rail and by sea,
of the products of the orchard, gar
dens and vineyards, reached the enor-
nous proportions of over $4,000 car
loads of ten tons each"

Cucumber milk is the best thing in all

yellow, or speckled with freckles, or

as a cleansing agent. Slice but do not
peel three good-sized cucumbers; add
half a cup of water and boil until pulp
is sof2y; strain and cool. To one and a
half ounces of the cucumber juice add
an equal amount of alcohol. This makes
three ounces of cucumber essence. In
this dissolve one-fourth of an ounce

OF all methods of finishing denim edges
these large scallops bound with tape will
be found to be decidedly the simplest
and most effective. Plain strips or
squares of denim scalIoped and bound
with narrow satin ribbon are wonder
fully serviceable for dressing table or
stand coverings. Couch pillows are in

WHO WAS THE LOSER.

following: A banker on the way
home found ten dollar bill, took
down the number Of it, put it into his
pocket and went on his way rejoicing.
When he reached home the butcher
was there with a meat bill OF ten
dollars. The banker paid the butcher
the same ten dollars he found. The
butcher paid the ten dollars to the
printer and the printer to the grocer
and the grocer to the banker. He
noticed that it was the same bill which
he had found and at the same time
that it was counterfeit. Who was
