to Ambassador White were a marvel OF
simplicity and clearness. They set forth
in general terms. the attitude of this

Failure on the part Of the United
States to take part in the new confer

this treatment in the future. The

conference was to consider, save that it
indicated clearly, that it was opposed to
any measure which violated the open

the issue and said that the difference

and the proposed rate, calculated on

The railroads, said Mr.. Severance, do
not object to the commission s percent
age basis for figuring rates, less than
first class. It is a fair average of three
systems now in use in western territory.
illinois rates, he maintained, are
really no lower than existing rates IN
Minnesota. While Iowa IS appear lower,
they are really higher for short dis
tances, on which most interstate busl-
ness is carried: Iowa is a state of uni
form industries, however-all corn, hogs
and cattle. A fairer comparison for
Minnesota would be with Wisconsin and
Michigan. Comparisons, however, are
declared by the supreme court In the
Nebraska case as Of little value. A
reasonable rate must be determined by
the cost Of handling the traffic, by the
amount invested in roadbed and equip
ment, by the securities obliged to be
| issued by the road, and by the fail
proportion which local business should
bear, to the entire revenue, compared
with Interstate business, according tc
the relative cost of handling.
| The comparative value of commodi
ties, and the corresponding service done
in handling them, must be considered;
also the greater risk to the road IL
handling high-class business.
Reasonable rates must cover two ter
minal charges, the actual cost of the
haul, and fair profit. In this case the

Its initial rate is too low, and the rate

Mr.. Severance intimated that the com

bitterly opposed. He would ask that the
commission either dismiss the proceed
ings entirely, or, else increase the rp1c-
posed schedule of rates. -.#

No one else took the floor at. the
morning session. Members of the COM
mission said privately that Mr.. Sever
ance was wrong in assuming the sched-
ule to be an ironclad rate. 1t is a maxi
mum, and will be as flexible as rates are
now. It is not any change in the system,
only reduction. 1t does not, therefore,
involve any discrimination between To-

why Thunder sours MILK.
the New orleans Times-DemOcrat.

From the New Orleans Times-Deniocrat.
To many persons the curdling OF milk in
a Thunderstorm is mysterious and unln-
telligible phenomenon. Yet the whole proc
ess really is simple and natural.
Milk, like most other substances. contains
millions of bacteria The milk bacteria that
In day or two under natural conditions
would cause the fluid to sour are peculiarly
susceptible to electricity. Electricity inspir-
its and invigorates them, affecting them az
alcohol, cocaine or strong tea Affects men.
Under the currents influence they fail TO
work with amazing energy and instead of
taking a couple of days TO sour the milk
they accomplish the task completely in
half an hour.
1t Is not the thunder II a storm that sours
milk, It Is the electricity Ia the air that
does It. with an electric battery IT is easy,
on the same principle. to sour the freshest
milk. A strong current excites the microbes
to supermicrobic exertions and in a few
minutes they dc job that under ordinary

A Swedish Genius,



The biography of Pelle Molin is one OF
the strangest in literary history. The story
OF his outward life is told in a few words.
He was born in an Isolated part of Anger
mainland far northern tract of Sweden.
His father was a peasant, and his mother
had gypsy blood in her veins As young
man he went to Stockholm with the inten-
ton of training himself for an artists ca
reer, but he soon abandoned the project and
returned to the north. Ten years ago he
died at Bobo. Norway, after short illness
at the age of thrty-two
After his death his best productions were
collected and published with an introduction
by Gustaf af Geijerstam, the weIl-known
Swedish novelist. They make little vol
ume of not quite 200 pages The book has
passed into several editions and has Sc
cured for the author unique position in
the literature of his country. In the mai
ters OF descriptive ability, yigor of express
sion, pfeturesQueness OF phrase he stands
alone in his particular field. He had hoped
10 write the yet unwritten romance Of the
Swedish wildlands-a task for which lie was
peculiarly fitted
hoItn's struggle for his daily bread In
the desolate region where he lived was as
pathetic as his tales are refreshing Like
other woodsmen and bear-hunters he lived
IN nttie cabin, prepared his own meals,
dld all the homework and mended his own
Clothes. He had few or no visitors and did
not get on any too well with his neigfibors
VINO, 1t seems. looked askance at this
dreamer and man of culture MoIin titled
MS little plot OF ground industriously and
eked out a precarious existence He was
often in absolute want, and the lack of
proper nourshment was undoubtedly one
OF the influences that helped to bring on
MS untfmely death. intellectual famine
was another. He yearned for contacts
which he never found. for the harmonious
surroundings rs had always missed. He'll
entertained the maddest of ideas. In his
letters he speaks OF emigratifg. of buying
Q cutter and sailing around the earth of
journeying to Spitzbergen to describe the
historic moment when the Andree and terra
hrma should part company, These fancIful
ideas were all born of his lack OF money.

If the Sun Were Red.
From the Indianapolis Star.

From the Indiana polls Star
It Is amazing to consider the possible re-
suits II our sun were green, blue or red in
stead OF what It IS. If 1t were blue there
would be but two coors in the world-blue
and black. II 1t were red, then everything
would be red black. If 1t were yellow
everything would be yellow or black. The
light of our sum- of course, consists of sew
eral colors. and the reason things are Off
ferent hues is that some swallow up the
other colors and reflect only one In the
event Of the sun being red, roses red ink
and all other things that are now red would
reflect it. So also would snow, the lily, and
all things that are now white, but these
would, of course. be red. everything else
would swallow UP the red light and appear
quite black. Grass for instance, would be
black as ink, and so would the blue of the
sky, but the white clouds would be red
The same kind Of thing would happen if
the sun were blue. Everything now blue or
white would be blue and everything else
black The whole sky, clouds and all,
would be blue. The grass this time would
be blue, not black. for it reflects both blue
and yellow. If the sun were green we
would still be yellow, things that are blue
would still be blue, and things that are
green would still be green, but there would
be no reds.

The Lengthening Period of Youth.

DR.. A. e Gibson in the Medical Brief.
1t may seem strange to US, though the
fact nevertheless remains, that the veterans
of the grand army of Napoleon, weighed
down by age and glory, were men of whom
few had passed their thirty-fifth yeari It
was a time of rash and short living with
an early age and overtures Of real
youth-a time when we find Thackerary ridi-
culrg De Florac for holding claims on be-
ing still young man at the age of thirty
fvei The unmistakable tendency of our
time to rejuvenate life and to prolongl or
rather to vanquish. age Is placing Its stamp
on every event OF individual existence. The
average man of today carries the spirit and
power of youth into an age which CEN
lury ago was regarded as bordering on the
shady side of existence. The buoyancy
and vigor characteristic Of our present
middle aged man make it, in most cases,
extremely difficult to approach any fair
degree of accuracy in determining the age
of q person passing along the ascension
scale between forty and hfty-f1ye And
what is said of man refers, OF course, in
equal IL not in still more accentuated de-
gree to woman. One of the causes OF this
remarkable arrest OF old age lies undouOt-
edly In the Increasing indulgence OF our
time in healthy outdoor sports with their
care-free and worry-free abandon. The oc-
casienal freeing of the mind from the
ssstrenuous life," the determination for
longer or shorter time to force business
and routine interests to the wall and give
I'm ones self without scruple or narrow
minded conventional restraint to the spirit
Of the sport undoubtedly tends to hberats
forces of original pristine strength,

Crushed to Death
Liberty Miiless Explains Circumstances
Surrounding Sons Death.

Hagerlnan, Idaho, Dec. II, 1905.
Editor Shoshone Journal.
Dear Sir: With your kind per-
mission l wish to publish in the
Shoshone Journal, for the benefit
of the many inquirers, the facts
concerning my son Ernest's death
at Rawlins, Wyoming, Dec. 4th,
which are as follo9s:
He was struck by a switch engine
at 4:58. on the morning of Dec. 4th
while on the ladder leading to the
top of the stock car. We had jrst
ran into the yards at Rawlins and
the caboose had been cut off from
the stock train, and the rear car,
the one he was on, was so close to
the switch that he was struck by
TIE switch cngin coming to get the
caboose, as it passed the corner of
the car. The stock train was sta
tionary at the time.
I succeeded in getting him to the
doctors Office about $40 a. m.
where under the care Of the doctors
he lived till 6:15 a. m. suffering
great pain. His left arm was brok-
en- in one place and his right arm
in two places. several OF his ribs on
the left side we're broken and he
was badly injured internally.
Death resulting from bleeding of
the lungs. had only been away
from him q few moments when the
accident occurred.
My wife and 7 desire to express
our heartfelt thanks for the many
acts of Kindness shawn as during
our bereavement in the loss OF our
son and for the kind assistance in
committing his body TO the grave.

Statesman. Mr.. Disney says that
Shoshone and Lincoln county are
growing to beat the band. The

past two years, added sufficient
population to the county that 900
votes we're cast on that tract at the
recent election. The great Hern-
sheim project is now under way.
Its reservoir viii be located about
% miles north of Shoshone, and
there are now about 100 men at
work on it. The freighting for
this project is all going out from
Shoshone and it is no small item.
When completed this project will
add 10000 acres to Lincoln coun-
ty farm lands. Recently the Of
ticers of the Oregon Short Line
made trip from Shoshone up the
HALEY bsanch. for the purpose OF
boating a switch 10 be used for the
project. The project comes up to
the track of the HALEY branch but
does not cross it to the east. 1t is
that switch site was Sc
lectsd about Is miles from Sho-
shone and that a townsite will soon
be laid OF at that point.
