The first thing, says an exchange, is to find what the law means, and that is what has interrupted the sum- mer vacations of the lawyers and traf- fife experts of the railroads and caused these meetings at Chicago, New York, Atlantic City. and at Washington, with the interstate commerce commission. The commission is dealing with the western and southwestern railways, then the southern roads came in, and after them came the New England and the central trunk line roads. What is the commission trying to do? And what do the railways want? In the first place, it appears that the inter- state commerce commission is extend ing the olive branch to the railways after having won in bitter fight. in which its very existence was involv- led. The commission was under no obligations to help the railroads to interpret the law, but the chairman suggested friendly and informal con ference to talk over the incoming of some complicated points. Further, the commissioners intimated a desire to mitigate features of the law which might appear needlessly harsh. At first the traffic officials were suspfc- ious and wary, but finally the discus sion took on a friendly tone. 'I find the railroads willing and anxious to abide by the provisions of the new law" said Chairman Knapp. They are anxious to cooperate with us, so that it will produce results for the shipping and carrying public, such as congress intended" To the same ef- feet Commissioner Clements said: What is there so puzzling about the new rate law? Is it not simple to stop relates and to quit giving passes? Yes" says the railways, but here is thing not so simple. Answer this: How can railroad compile and print two million separate rates in sixty days? And how can such a compila- tion be posted in duplicate in every station on it's road?" But that is what the law demands. And again How can railway print and post as part of its rate the terminal charge of a different road a thousand miles away, over which it has no control?" How can railroad publish joint through rate over another road which does not care to make 2 joint rate?" How shall a railway publish rates on pri- vate cars which it does not own, and for which it does not even collect the charges?' How can export and i'm port rates be adjusted to varying ocean rates. if the 30-day notice is to apply to them?" How can railway tariffs be made uniform?" The commission CTS admit that these questions are rather puzzling, and they want to help clear them up. Another provision of the Jaw is that calling for a uniform system of accounting on railways. It will be August, 1907, before that pro vision goes into effect Prof. Henry c. Adams of Michigan university has been hired at s1O,o00 year to figure out a uniform system of bookkeeping. He has taken a house in Washington and expects to work a year at the task. He will work with the National Association of Railway Accountants. In the meantime the roads will be al- lowed to go on keeping accounts as they have been doing. The task of hearing complaints from shippers who want discriminations corrected in the new law has not even begun. They will have to wait for while.

THE GHOST OF CACTUS FLAT
fBy Ned Whitel

(By Ned white) On the map of Arizona, There is a mighty mining camp; A little place called Weaver, Close to the Hassayamp; Where the silence now is uabroken, By the sounds of the Octoye mill; Where the Mexicans dig for placer, In the shodow of Rich Hill. In that camp called Weaver, One cold winters eve, I heard this little story, That some may not believe; Told by Mickey Dolan, As Dy the fire we sat; About desert phantom, Or the ghost of Cactus Flat. He said that many years ago, One night, he made his camp, By the shimmering waters of the good old Hassayinp; The silvery moon had ,i5en, Der the eastern mountain crest, When by the smoldering camp hre, He had lain him down to rest The willows by the river Were waving in the breeze, And the laughing water Sang it's sweetest melodies, The calm of peaceful siumber Then over him did creep, He was fast approaching The border land of sleep. When on the midnight stiffness, With audiences there came A voice from out the darkness, That called aloud his name; And before his startled vision Came an awful sight; There a skeleton was standing IT, the pale moonlight. Its fleshless jaws were moving, As though it fain world speak; One ghastly hand was pointing Toward the Vulture peak; The old man gazed in terror, At the specter mute and dunn, Until in a husky whisper, The horrid thing said come. It turned and glided from him With a majestic ease, Up a rocky canyon, Through the shadow of the trees; With sudden impulse, He got up from the bed, Determined then to follow Where his ghostship led. Deep into a gloomy cave, The walls were damp and cold; In one corner of the place, He saw heap of gold; A pile of yellow nuggets, As large as cobble stones, But near by, lay the skeleton, A crumbled mass of bones. He did not touck the treasure, But in haste he went away, Deciding to go back again By the light of day; The next that he remembers, The sun shown on the land, The sparkling waves were dancing, Ger the golden sand. But his midnight visitor, Had left no trace behind, And now he is seeking year by year. The cave he cannot find; When Mickey tells the story, His old eyes softly gleam, But in vain l tried to tell him, I was Hassayamper's dream.

BRYAN WAS ENDORSED.

The Tucson Star makes the false assertion that the democratic conven- ton at Bisbee failed to endorse w. J. Bryan. The convention did endorse Mir. Bryan and asked that he be nom mated for president in 1908. The oral motion was made by Dr. Hughes, of Phoenix, who paid high tribute to the character of the Nebraskan. The motion of Dr. Hughes was carried unanimously when put by the chair.
 Mark Smith will be heard from in a few days from some northern county.

The sessions will begin Dec. 81, and

quarters will be the Claypool hotel
DIR. Henry Van Dyke, the famous au.
thor and lecturer, will be the leading
attraction of the program. Miss
Jane Adams of Hull House, Chicago,
will be another speaker that will
draw as much attention as DR.. Van
Dyke. Carroll D. Wright, possibly
the greatest authority in the United
States on the labor problem, will
speak, as will Miss Julia Richman
assistant superintendent of schools
in New York City, who is doing such
a wonderful work among the poor OF
the metropolis.
Not the least attractive feature of
the meeting will be the report of
the educational commission, appointed
by Gov. Hanly, on teachers wages

call peculiarities of authors we have
author of the younger set that you
may use. Mr.. Strickland w. Gillian,
poet, wit, lecturer, from his youth up
has been a paper-chewer. You have
known men who had the habit of nib
bling paper. Gillian does not nib
BILE; he bites it off in large pieces. A
twelve-section Sunday paper is a
tabled'hote and a library reading
room to him is a sixteen course ban
quet. This habit led .Gilly" as his
friends know him, into the newspa-
per business. His people wanted
him to be a blacksmith, he was such
husky lad; but he had once got a
look at the pile of exchanges in a
ing could dissuade him from his pur-
pose to take up journalism. And he
took it up. But that awful hunger
for paper was against him. He
couldn't keep job anywhere. An
Indiana country paper tried him, but
by the time he worked the edition off
he had also consumed it, and the cdi-
tor saw his business being slowly de-
voured. Then the Los Angeles Her
aid took him on. But the exchanges
were few, and-well, the Herald own
ers, considered that one set of the
Britannica was as great a sacrifice as
they could make at this time, and
Gillian went to Baltimore. He got
along better there, and stayed three
or four years. Baltimore has regular
wholesale paper houses, you know,
and market fluctuations can be con-
trolled. But at last Gillian quit and
went on the lecture platform, and
began writing for Judge and some of
the magazines on the side. Opulence
came with the change, and Gillian
began to get checks instead of a pal
try newspaper salary. Only week
ago Judge sent him a dollar, all in
one check. And thereby hangs this
tale. You see, with changed circum-
stances, increase of fortune, and the
exchange pile no longer accessible,
Gillian took to eating checks! We
venture to say the man of the hour is
venture to say he is the only author
living out of captivity who thus dis
poses of these things. Some writer's
frame their checks and hang them on
their study-walls; some carry them
for days to show to their friends as
precious trophies; but Gillian eats
them-eats them before they are
cashed. He simply can't wait. Now,
some several editors will under
stand why the author of ''Finnegin,"
when acknowledging receipt of re-
check certainly did look good to me-"
After the check is thoroughly chew
ed and all the juice got out of it, Gill
lilan deftly smoothes 1t out, irons it,
and mails it back to the publisher
with the request to send duplicate
check; for. peculiarly enough, he will
not eat duplicate paper. He says he
never chews the same dollar twice.
Trusting this may be useful to you,
Sarah, we remain. etc.

The Man From the WeSt-0ennctt.
Crandall e Mitchell'S beautiful
scenic production of 1.-THE Man From
the West, which comes so highly
recommended to the Gennett next
Saturday matinee and night is one OF
the most beautiful stories of the
West that was ever produced on any
stage Mr. Crandall has surrounded
Mr. Mitchell with a cast of superior
excellence and merit, and has proven
to the public that it is one Of the
most essential qualities to make
success in this line of business. and
that he has done so can be readily
seen by paying this meritorious pro-
duction a visit. The story, which is
one of heart interest, deals with a
struggle of the young man from the
West, who has struggled for years
to liquidate the debt left by his faith
er to an old friend of the family, VIM.
Munroe. He has just paid his last
dollar to his fathers friend. and has
gone to visit him. He Ynds him in

At THE THEATERS
Aronud the ToWn-Gennett.

Pretty girls, lively comedy, com,
plete scenic investiture, and musical
numbers galore is what those startl-
ing comedians, Murray and Mack
promise us in their new piece,
Around the Town." which will APP
pear here next Thursday night at the
Gennett. OF course, there is not
much that is new that can be said
of Murray and Mack themselves, as
they have been amongst us SO many
times that almost every man, woman
and child who knows anything about
the theatre at all is familiar with
Mack's little fat man and Murray's
tall thin impersonation. They come
this season we'll endorsed by the
newspaper critics everywhere they
have appeared, and unless all signs
fail, this will be the record breaker
of Murray and Mack, not only in
financial returns but merit of perfor
nance. They will introduce many
novelties this season; in fact, about
the only old thing they will spring
will be their famous boxing match,
which has laid dormant for couple
of seasons. Many local managers
and dramatic critics in the past two
years have asked why this extreme
ly funny piece of business has been
cut out, so they concluded this year
to brush off the moth balls from
their boxing gloves and again put
back this extremely funny stunt. The
company this season numbers thirty
five people all of which are promised
adopts in their line of work. The
cast includes the Dainty Soubrette
Miss Gladys Van, Miss Mable Blake,
Miss Josie Williams, the Trecaderre
Quartette who made such hit last
season with the same organization,
Walter S. Brewer, the celebrated
Pony Ballet, and a large male and
female chorus.
