The interstate commerce commission
expresses the opinion that the tremen-
dous shortage of cars = due in large
measure to the fact that production has
outgrown transportation. That's all
very well as an economic ipse dixit, but
it doesn't help the shipper. Why should
transportation companies permit them
selves to get behind the procession of
events?

Now that the civil service commits
sion has a chief examiner it should see
to it that his examinations are prac-
tical and not deterrent. The tendency
of the average chief examiner is to
overload his subject and thus prevent
the employment of really good men.
AS matter of fact, it is still true
that "a little learning is a dangerous

Shippers1Become Desperate.

EUGENE, Ore, Dec. 5.-Delegates
from all sections0of Oregon are here
attending a %conventionI called by the
shippers of the state to take action
against the Hartman railroad lines
and force the roads to furnish sufi.
cient cars to handles the business of
the country.
The speakers asserted that most Of
the lumber mills o.. theistate have been
forced to shut down. Manufacturing
plants are idle and farm products are
decaying while the eastern part Of the
state is sutfering:from a fuel famine.
Resolutions were passed that call for
drastic action by the legislature, in.
Guiding the creation of a new railroad
commission.
Many of the leading manufacturers
and shippers of the state say that they
will advocate strenuous methods be.
fore they will submit to bankruptcy
because of the neglected. the railroads.
Several have preached the PROPOSE.
tion OF notifying thelrailroads that if
cars were moi supplied within a Ger.
tain time they would seize all the emp.
ty cars they could find in their terri
tory, and thus tie the railroads up
until they agreed to ;haul the freight.

"The report apparently originated
from an express company failing to

from this no funds whatever are miss.

Will Test WO0lGShrinkage.

LARAMIE, Wyo., Dec. 5.-Prof. B..
c. Buffum returned today from Bos.
ton. where be purchased a three.vat
securing machine, with which he will
make experiments in securing wool in
connection with sheep breeding and
wool tests at the United States expert
ment station here. Producers of wool
in the inter.mountain region contend
that shrinkage of wool at Boston,
Philadelphia and other eastern mar.
kets is out of all proportions, and the
Wyoming experiment station, in co.
operation with the bureau of animal
industry, will carry on a series of
tests. The plant to be installed here
will handle from 1000 to 5000 pounds
of wool per day, removing all dirt
and foreign matter that can be re.
moved by washing.
Director Butfum will appeal to the
tlockmasters of the state for feeces
from every part of Wyoming, so that
tests may represent every condition of
range and wool production. The
plant will be installed in time for the
coming wool crop.

EnNhiOna For Men.

One of the fads of the year for men
is to have the tie, the pocket handker-
chief and the hose Of the same color,
says Harper's Bazaar. Consequently
for the morning there are numerous
combinations in colors for handker-
chiefs Of this kind. The borders are In
plaids and quite deep. and there is the
monogram in the solid color in one cor
ner. But there are many who prefer
white linen handkerchiefs, and these
come with q narrow hem and a small
Initial. Hose are In solid colors. For
the present stripes and fancy patterns
are tabooed. Silk and Isle thread are
the best materials. The walking sticks
are plain with a crook and with little
or no silver upon them. All boots and
shoes have rounded. not pointed, toes.
Boots and shoes this autumn and win
ter will be rubber soled or at least rub
her heeled. Goloshes and overshoes are
among the articles men are discarding
except perhaps when they go out In tn"
evening to dances, etc. with low shoe
Or pumps.

fellow labor leaders before Judge
Bull in the criminal court today, when
Joseph Schultz, an alleged slugger,
who, with Albert Young, turned states
evidence, was on the stand as a wit.
ness for the state.
Schultz declared that Shea had told
him to break the legs and arms of
strike'breakers and especially to at.
tack the negro strike. breakers. When
this mean of bringing about decided
results did not work satisfactorily,
Schultz asserted that Shea ordered
the hired pickets to throw eggs, filled

President Wants More Power.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The presi.
dent today sent a special message to
congress urging giving the executive
authority on his own initiative and
his own responsibility to dismiss any
officer whom he thinks unworthy to re-
main in the service. The law at pres.
ent provides that in time of peace, no
officer shall be dismissed except in
pursuance of q court.martial or in
mitigation thereof. This provision the
president wants repealed.
Illustrating the necessity for the leg
islation desired, the president cites
the Use of a naval officer whose name
is not given, but who was accused of
'%'indecent and disgusting behavior"
He was convicted by the court, but to
his surprise, the president says, the
court did not sentence him to dis.
missal.

SOLOMONvILLE, Ariz., Dec. 5.-As
the result of the thirty hours steady
rain over southern Arizona, the min.
ing town OF Clifton. with 5000 per.
cons, is swept by q terrific flood and
hundreds of people have fed to the
mountains for safety. Owing to the
dis abied wires, details are hard to OBJ.
tain, but the known dead list reaches
1S and will doubtless be much larger.
The greater portion of the population
are Mexicans and Italians, who live
in sQualid huts, now inuud ated.
The town is built in three sections
Chase Creek and North and South
Clifton. The catastrophe commenced
with the breaking of a big reservoir
in the mountains above. precipitating
a vast flood upon the Chase Creek sec.
ton. The principal street is near the
bed of the stream and was completely
destroyed. 1t vas there that 1.-THE IA

whose names cannot be learned. Two
Americans are known to have per-

w~recksRe and drowned. North and
South Clifton are swept by the current
of the San Francisco river. A new
school building and scores1 of houses
are washed away.

Nevertheless he declares that it will

place trained men in first class kitc,l-

of the successful chef. She may have
inspiration. but she lacks the power o.
organization. The preparation Of Il biz

may be spoiled. A nan Of iron nerve

cooking in small hotels. They do not
have sufficient application to stand the
exhaustive training for seven or eight
years which male cooks undergo.

Car shortage Is o Calamity.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.--The iuten.
tons OF the interstate commerce com.
mission regarding the car shortage in
the northwest are made clear in a
letter addressed to Senator Hans.
brough by Chairman Knapp. which
said:
The inability of shippers to secure
cars for the movement of their traffic
Is reported from various parts of the
country and amounts in some sections
to almost a calamity. This matter
has given the commission special con.
Germ, although we appear to be with.
out any adequate authority to deal
with such az occasion. We can exer-
else no direct power to compel inter.
state carriers to furnish adequate
equipment nor are we prepared at
this time to recommend specific legis.
lation on this subject"
Chairman Knapp said the commits.
sion could perhaps award reparation
for damages resultingSfrom failure to
supply sufficient cars, but the power
to do this is not altogether certain,
and he says: SIT would seem 10 be
rather more suitable and efficient for
aggrieved shippers to bring their suits
in the courts in the first instance.
1--WE have, however. offered an in.
vestigatiOn on sthis matter of car
shortage and will prosecute it with
the utmost despatch. Already one or
more agents havel'been SEM to the
northwest, and it;is expected that in
qutries will begin in that region with.
in the next two weeks. This appears
to be the most effective course the
commission a take and you may be
assured that everything will be done
within the scope Of our.:authority to
bring the earliest possible relief"
Senator Hansbrough has written
several letters to the commission cal.
ling attention to the car shortage, de.
claring the: situation to be 80 serious
as to amount almost to q calamity in
some sections, and says that If the
commission investigates at once, there
would be 40 dificulty0in locating the
blame, If any.

To Establish Land Courts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. - Senator
Hey burn will introduce a bill creating
United States land courts in each of
the public land states, to which an
appeal may be taken from any final
decision by the register and receiver
in regard to the right to enter the pub.
lie lands. From these courts an APP
peal will lie to a national land court,
to be provided by the bill, with head.
quarters at Washington and consist.
ing of three judges.
Mr.. Hepburn thinks this will relieve
the general land Office and the interior
department OF the necessity for decid-
ing legal controversies affecting the
