Benefits to Accrue.

.The greatest benefit to the pro-
ducers will be as a price regulator.
There will be no more burning of
corn In Kansas and no more potatoes
in vast quantities allowed to rot in
the ground. When raw material is
cheap 1t can be made ..into alcohol
and stored. a uniform price, giving
living profits each year to our farm
ers, is much to be desired, and is a
much safer proposition than a high
price this year and a losing price
next year.
Undoubtedly the first direct
benefit that will come to the whole
mass Of the people will be in the use
of alcohol for lighting purposes. 1t
has been clearly demonstrated that

In the latter part of 1905 q revolu- tion was promised in fishing methods by the addition of new steam trawler to the fleet. Since fishing began on the Banks the work has been done by sailing vessels. which send out dories on the fishing grounds and which, in their voyages back and forth between Boston and the Banks, are at the mercy of storms.
 There are now more than 590 ves- sells of all sizes in the fishing fleet, ranging n value from $1 900 to $15.0Q0, the entire fleet being valued at about SS, ,000,0 900. If the Spray, the new steel trawler, does the work expected of her. 1t may mean the passing of the old time sailing ioet.
 The new steamer cost her owners S60, ,0a0. She Is equipped to permit of all fishing operations being carried on from her deck without tho use of dories and the consequent loss of life attend ant upon tho old methods of fishing when boats were frequently lost in the fog or run down hY Atlantic steamers. The Spray drags her own trawl nets and s expected to make huge hauls and time between the fishing grounds and the home port.

 Act.

Washington. Aug. 24-By next Tues day the 2Sth instant. when the new rate laws shall become effective. 1t is expected that practically all members of the Interstate Commerce Commission will be in Washington. Commissioner Franklin K Lane of California, arrived today and shortly afterward was in hiS office at the commission building He did little during the day except have a conference with Secretary Ward A. Moseley, of the commission and attend to his personal mall.
 Commissioner Lane has been a mem- Der of the commission for six weeks or more. He took the oath of office on the second cf July, and has been attend ing to some of the work of the com mission on the Pacific coast since that time Speaking of the new rate law to- day. MT. Lane said
 "So far as my observations have ex- tended. disposition is manifested by all railroad companies to comply vita the act.
 q have seen some publications to the effect that at a meeting of railroad oficials including attorneys at Allan tic City, an effort was made to de~ wise ways of evading, at least In some re spects, the operation of the law; but | take the view expressed by Comnis- sioner Clements. that no concerted act. ion will be taken by the railroads or Itbe country to overturn the law, In
 the West. particularly on the Pacific coast, the railroads are making their arrangements to conform to the new provisions as soon as possible. Natural l iy questions of differences may arise from time to time that may have to pc adjusted in the courts but me law wls' | be observed generally beyond douot "I suppose by the date when the act shall become effective. nearly all the rnemhers of the Interstate Commerce | Commission will be here. but so far as | I know there will be no formal meet ing of the commission to determine up- on a line of policy.
