"A Valuable Dog

y Mark Twain is immensely popular
with the farmers living around
QUARRY Farm" his summer home
near Elmira, N. Y. He and his
neigh bors exchange experiences and
Iboth profit thereby. The genial
tells of one farmer who
purchased hunting dog that was
highly recommended to him by a
man who did not seem particularly
reluctant about parting with it.
When the dog was delivered the
farmer looked it over with consider
able misgivings. 1t seemed shy and
bash and hardly the animal it
was cracked up to be. Anxious to
give it trial, however, he took it
out shortly afterwards and as luck
would have it, ran across a fox.
The dog took after the fox and the
two were soon out of sight, the far
mer following as rapidly as he
could. Finally he met another far
mer who, in response to his inquiry
stated that they had passed in his
direction. Asked as to how they
were running, the second farmer
replied: ''Wall, it was nip and tuck
| but [ think the dog was about three
feet ahead. April Lippincott'

NEW ORLEANS, June 16.-The
most startling news the scientific

the dread of untold centuries, can
be cured.

treatment has been in progress at

who, with an assistant, DIR. Ralph
Hopkins, have risked their lives to
minister to these poor outcasts,
have been sure for long time that
they were on the right track, but
they wanted to make the test con-
elusive, and now they are able to
give to the world the news of sue
cess.
There are "A patients in the home
at this time, 26 white males and
10 white females, and two colored
males and three colored females.
The first case cured was that of
boy admitted in October, 1902, at
the age of 10 years. He was dis

BOSTON AFTER WEST OUTLET
Vanishing Export Trade Arouses
Eastern Capitalists

A new transportation line from the
wheat belt of the middle west to the
Atlantic seaboard is likely to be en-
gineered Al the near future, the pro-
ject having it's birth in the competition
which Boston is experiencing in the
handling of export products from
western points.
The decision of the interstate com
merce commission, giving to Baltimore
a differential over Boston of cents
a hundred pounds on grain billed for
export, has been the cause of an enor-
nous depreciation in grain exports
from Boston, as we'll as of other ex-
port products. In addition to this handl-
cap, the construction now nearing COM
pletion of the Gould road to the sea-
board will give to Baltimore additional
facilities.
Boston has no inlet of it's own from
the west Although the New York
Central now absolutely controls the
Boston & Albany, the terms under
which it holds the Massachusetts line
require such small net earning-only
sufficient to pay an 8 per cent dividend
that the New York Central has no
reason for saving Boston's export trade,
when the bulk of it's interests are in
New York.
OF the possible connections with the
west, that which receives the most fa-
vorabl consideration is the construc-
tion of $50 miles of road from Rotter-
dam Junction, N. Y, to the eastern
end of Boston, and gives the Boston &
Maine through Independent lake SER
vice, chance to compete with the
differential which is now enhancing
Baltimore's trade, and diminishing that
of Boston.
President Lucius Tuttle of the Bos-
ton & Maine emphatically denied any
knowledge that such a project was in
contemplation. 1T would precipitate
railroad war that would be endless, -
he said.

CAR LINES, TOO
HEPBURN BILL PROV0KES A
FIGHT BY HARTMAN
Union Pacific First Big Road to
Abolish Private Lines-BulIding
Operations Everywhere--cen-
eraI Railroad News

Los Angeles men just back from the
east say that the Hartman road VIII
start a fight against private car lines.
II is stated that one result of the
new Hepburn rate law will be to put
the private car lines out of business.
II makes them common carriers and
subjects them to all the provisions of
the act.
Besides, It makes 1t incumbent upon
the railroads to render all the special
service which these car lines render
the public, SO that there will be no
valid reason for their continuance in
business.
In order to be in position to meet the
reouirements of its shippers In this
respect, the Union Pacific road, as
already announced, asked for bids Tor
5000 refrigerator cars, and declares It's
intention of doing its own refrigerator
car business hereafter.
The Gould lines control their own
REFRIGERATOR cars through ownership
of the stock of the American Refrigera-
tor Transit company.
All leading western lines are prepar-
ing to operate their own cars.
''Does the building of these cars mean
that the Union Pacific will do away
with the private car lines?" one Of
fetal was asked.
third officer of the company de-
clined to discuss the matter, but also
declined to deny that private car lines
on the Hartman roads were to go.
Perhaps a careful reading of recent
legislation will give you the correct
answer" he replied.

new cars in operation, but it was said
in the financial district yesterday that
If the Union Pacific contemplated abol-
ishing private car lines the big refrig-
orator companies were certainly aware
of the fact, and were unquestionably
taking steps to protect themselves.
The Union Pacific If it abolishes the
private car lines, will be the first big
road to take such action, but according
to one prominent railroad man it is
only a question of very short time
before all the railroads will be forced to
follow it's lead in order to protect them
selves against recent and contemplated
legislation.
Tt was also said in one railroad office
that Atchison is in the market for 1000
refrigerator cars, but this was denied
at the companys office.
The Shippers View
A prominent shipper when told of
Union Pacifics decision to buy refrig
orator cars said
I'm glad to hear it, The principal
trouble has been that charges were ir-
regular and there. was no set schedule
of prices, especially in the matter of
reicing. With the railroads in con-
troll and the interstate commerce act
in force shipper will know exactly
what the cost will be, as the railroads
under that act will be forced to publish
their rates"
