SIDEW AXIS TO COST MORE
ASSESSMENT ROLLS FOR 1907
PROVIDE FOR rs CENTS 1l A YARD,
AN INCREASE OF u CENTS.

In the assessment rolls for 1907,
which are now being prepared, the as
sessment for stone sidewalks is fixed
at the uniform price@of s#75 cents a
square yard. This is an increase of
- cents, the assessed price this season
having been 63 cents azyard. The in
crease is, due to the rise in cement
prices, which were showed up last
spring and are likely to, be. maintained
for some time, as concrete construc
tion is growing in favor'ssrather than
diminishing.
Usually The city pays more than pri-
vate citizens for stone sidewalks, but
this year the city pays much less.
The prevailing price obtained by the
larger concerns is from 70 to 80 cents
yard, depending somewhat on quail.
ity. These men have positively refused
to have anything to do with city work
this year, contending that they can not
lay walks at that figure. And besides,
they can get all they can do at better
prices
Work on the stone sidewalks has been
progressing slowly on account of the
refusal of some of the manufacturers
| Andrew Rinker says that all the walks
| ordered this year will probably be laid
as there are some concerns willing tC
| lay walks at 63 cents.
| At the same time, Mr.. Rinker adj
mits that there can be no profit to the
/ manufacturer in laying walk at that
price and on that account he has asked
! that the assessed price be raised Sc
| that all the concerns in the business
! can have a share and at the same time
make a fair profit

COMMODITY RATES
FAIL FOR REBATES
PRESIDENT A. B. t.. STICKNEY
RAISES NEW POINT.
ereat western Executive Shows State
hallway Commission How Many
Roads Favor Certain Shippers by
Granting Special Short Time Tariffs
Board May Make Ruling on the
Point,

A. B: stickney, president Of the
Great Western road, contends that
thousands of dollars are being given
favored shippers in Minnesota annual
~ thru the granting Of special commod-
1ty, state rates by railroads, and he has
called upon the state railroad commits
sion IN person.. urging the same argu-
terstate commerce commission.
MI. Stickney saw G. F. Staples of the
state commission, before whom he made
the claim that special rates are nothing
more nor less than means used by the
railroads whereby they are granting re-
bates amounting in the aggregate to
vast sums.
Only Legal Rates.
Mr.. Stickney's contention, as far as
state commerce is concerned, is that the
only legal rates on classified articles.
are the original tariffs Of classifcations
approved by the state commission, and
that. where a special commodity rate is
made on any article in the classified
lions, such commodity rate is illegal and
that the classification schedule only is
to be considered. He assured Mr.. Sta
Piles that this he believed to be true
both from his knowledge of law and his
understanding and study of railroad
practices.
When rate on commodity is to be
changed, insisted Mr.. Stickney. it is
necessary to publish the one new rate:
and to republish the entire schedule
with the tariff on the one commodity
changed, so that the change is never a
hidden rate.
Point Is New.
The state railroad commission has
never had Mr.. Stickney's point brought
to its attention before. Investigation
seems to demonstrate that the law is
silent on the point, simply demanding
that new rates must be approved and
published and open to one and all to
take advantage Of.
s. In some instances said Mr.. Sta
pies, lit can be shown that for a Ger.
tain distance the original classification
rate is the lowest; but perhaps for a
longer haul on the same commodity, a
special commodity rate is lowest. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Stickney, the classified.
ton rate would always have to hold.
Lower Rate Rules.
my present pisition is this: That
the state commission should rule that
the lowest published rate on any com.
modify is the legal rate and the one
which shippers should be allowed to
take advantage of.
"However, 1 see the force of Mr.
Stickney's argument, that special com
modify rates are used as a means of
getting around the forbidden rebating;
and that these rates are often simply
put in effect for a short period and
! for the benefit of some influential ship
! per whom it. is to the railroada in
! terests to favor.D

DR.. A. N. Wallace, of PHILADELPHIA.
the renowned throat and lung specialist
who established a camp for consump-
tives in the pine woods Of Maine, and
whose remarkable cures there attracted
international attention, declares that the
above formula is one of the very best
remdies obtainable for an acute cold and
that it will strengthen the lungs. relieve
coughs and heal the bronchial tubes.
Also, that it will cure any case of lung
trouble not too far advanced, if the pa
tient will assist by plenty of outdoor
exercises, inhaling deep, long breaths
every few minutes.
The ingredients are procurable of any
good prescription druggist and easily
mixed at home and it should take its
place as one Of the most valued rene
dies in the family medicine chest.
Inquiry at one Of the leading drug
gists elected the information that con-
centrated Oil of Pine is put UP for dis
pensing only in half-ounce walls, secure.
ly sealed in round wooden cases intend
ed to protect it from heat and light.
Only the cheaper oils are sold in bulk.
but owing to their impurities and the
quantity that would be necessary to be
effective they only produce nausea and
are useless as medicine.
