Commission Listens TO Further
Argument ats Spokane.
SPOKANE ALLEGED FAVORED
Seattle, Portland and Tacoma Are Dis
eriminated Against by Railroads
Water Competition Is De.
elared to be a Factor.

SPOKANE, Jan. l6.--Through sew
eral answers made to the sharp In
quiries OF Commissioner Prouty at to-
days hearing Of the Spokane rate
case. II was revealed that the attor-
neys for the coast cities will not de-
pend on the argument OF water COM
petition alone, but will maintain that
Seattle. Portland and Tacoma suffer
from discrimination In favor OF Spo-
kane. J. n. Teal. for the Portland
Chamber OF Commerce, insisted that he
desired 10 give notice that Portlands
petition for Intervention would be 80
amended as to meet the new argu-
ments OF Spokane. for which. he saii
the defendants had not been prepared
Commissioner Prouty said he under
stands that the justification for the
terminal rate exists wholly on the ba-
sis OF water competition. and were not
this ~. the coast cities would not be
justified In having lower rates than
Spokane. Prouty said the commission
had decided that water competition
was factor whatever bearing 1t may
have on the case. The commissioner
wanted to know II the complainants
sustain the contention that the rail-
roads are making too much money. and
what interest the coast people had In
opposing lower rates for Spokane. Teal
replied that the coast cities cannot be
deprived Of their rates fixed by wa
ter competition.
Prouty responded by saying 1t did
no good to put In evidence OF water
competition, as that was conceded. The
discussion then followed whether wa
ter competition was conceded by Spo-
kane and no agreement was reached on
this subject Mr. Mann Of San Fran
cisco called II. +. D. Jackson to the
stand. Spokane representatives OBJ
jected TO his testimony because he
was able TO testify only concerning
water transportation The commission,
however. decided Jackson's testimony
should be heard.
r. NJ. Adams, assistant traffic mama
ger Of the Great Northern at Seattle,
while under cross examination, admit
ted that the railroads had followed up
the commencement OF the present
case before the Interstate Commerce
Commission by giving a new rate to
coast points to enable them to beat
the rate given to Spokane merchants
to the Idaho line. Commissioner
Prouty, apparently in some amaze
ment, reiterated the question to Adams
whether the rate had been put into
effect after the suit had been begun,
and Adams admitted that 1t had.
BY Commissioner Lane: This new
rate prohibits shipments from Spo-
kane?"

of Industrial Abuses.

DENVER. Jan. l6.-Simon Guggen-
helm. after his election as United
States senator had occurred today, ad-
dressed the legislature as follows:
Sincerely do I thank you for the
have reposei in me in electlng me -
the highest Office in the gift of the
great honor and for the confidence you
state l appreciate my responsibilities
and in order TO give my entire time to
the people of our nation and state dur
ing the sessions of Congress and also
during the recess, l have withdrawn
from all active business.
BY devoting constant time and at
tention to the duties of my high office
much should be accomplished for our
nation and state.
1t has always been my ambition to
be one of the states builders realizing
that we are a young state extensive in
area, rich in resources, and capable Of
supporting a much larger population.
Great is the opportunity Of increas-
ing the population of attracting to
Colorado the needed capital and labor
for our Development, that in time our
commonwealth may become one Of TIE
most important states of our glorious
nation.
Gladly do l give up a commercial
career for the purpose of assuming the
responsibilities Of Senatorship and of
devoting myself entirely to the obli-
cations to no interests, company rail-
road or corporation.
I favor all legislation adopted by
Congress to correct industrial evils
and abuses, and will support and sug
gest further measures that experience
Of vision may demand as necessa "y.
ANY one occupying public position
must expect to be the target or criti
cism. Just criticism is beneficial; ma
lacious Misrepresentation digs its own
grave.
When l reached my majority l came
to Colorado l rejoice that the friends
that made during the early days are
still my friends.
I hope to include in the bond Of
friendship all the people of the state.

HOW WE WALK.
The Muscles Used and the Mechanical
Work They Do.

The Muscles Used and the Mechanical
Work They Do.
The chief muscles concerned in
walking are those in the calf and
back of the leg, which, by pulling
up the heel, also pull up the bones
of the foot connected with it, and
then the whole body, the weight of
which is passed on through the
bones of the leg. When walking the
trunk is thrown forward so that it
would fall down PROSTATE were not
the right foot planted in time to
support it. The calf muscles are
hel ped in this action by those on
the front of the trunk and legs,
which contract and pull the body
forward, and, the trunk slanting
forward when the heel is raised by
the calf muscles, the whole body
will be raised and pushed forward
and upward This advancement of
each leg is effected partly by mus
cular action, the muscles used being
Q) those on the front of the thigh,
bending it forward on the pelvis;
(2) the hamstring muscles, which
slightly bend the leg on the thigh;
(3) the muscles on the front of the
leg, which raise the front of the
foot and toes, preventing the lat
ter, in swinging forward, from
hitching in the ground.
When one foot has reached the
ground the action of the other has
not ceased. There is another point
in walking. The body is constantly
supported and balanced on each leg
alternately and therefore on only
one at once; hence there must be
some means for throwing the CEN
ter of gravity over the line of sup
port formed by the bones of each
leg, as it supports the weight Of the
body. This is done in various ways,
and hence the difference in the walk
OF different people. There may be
slight rotation at the hip joint,
bringing the center of gravity of
the body over the foot of this side.
This rocking" motion of the trunk
and thigh is accompanied by a
movement of the whole trunk and
leg over the foot planted on the
ground and is accompanied by
compensating outward movement at
the hip, The body rises and swings
alternately from one side to the 9th
er as its center of gravity comes
alternately over one or the other
leg, and the curvature of the spinal
bones is altered with the varying
position of the weight. - London
