TO MEET WITH COMMISSION
Representatives Of Northwestern
Roads at Olympia Saturday

OLYMPIA. April 1.-THE railway
commission has arranged to meet with
all the representatives of the north
western roads in Olympia next Satur-
day at 2:30 p. m. to discuss the rail-
way commissions new regulations
concerning the issuance of passenger
transportation. These regulations. or
an outline of them, were submitted 10
the railroads at recent meeting, and
the transportation men asked fer fur
tier time to consider them. They
chiefly provide for a longer time linn
it on first class transportation, for
the bulletining of all trains, and more
especially late trains
Another feature includes certain
mandatory provisions Or regulations
for the heating and light of waiting
rooms, necessary seats. and toilet pro-
visions demanded for the comfort of
the travelling public. The exact nature
of any of the regulations have not
been made public. :.

contract freight and giving the better
part of their car service to hauling
cotton and other products intended
for export. and give their attention
to handling tonnage that originates
along their own lines, we would
have little of the trouble that is now
running our business. The present
situation is running our business.
The millers of Puget sound are los
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
by this car shortage. We have even
taken to buying flour from the mills
in other states in order to fill at least
a few of our orders and not lose all
our trade.
81 have no preference to give the
railroads in the matter of service.
One is just as bad as the other.
From all the officials we get the same
answer when we go to them with our
grievances. They hold up their
hands and eXclaim that the railroads
are doing the best they can, and fur
Their than that they can promise moth
ing.
I'VE have only one resource now
left-to appeal to the state and see
if there cannot be found some way to
compel the railway companies to at
tend more strictly to the legitimate
ends of the transportation business
and let the stock manipulating ends
rest. for while at least.
I'VE are not the only sufferers. The
exporters are in as bad way as
We are. There are ships in this har-
Dor and at Tacoma that have been as
sessing the exporters demurrage
some of them for months, on account
of the inability to move the wheat
from the country warehouses. Isn't
it more than probable that such
state of affairs will initiate against
Seattle as a port of export?'

TIGERS BACKED TO CORNER
Whitman Children SraVely Battle
The Striped Ones

Baseball, which was delight to the
most fastidiOus fan. was dealt out by
Whitman college and the Tacoma Ii
gers on the Walla Walla park yester-
day afternoon.
Although the professionals won by
the close margin of Z to every base
ball expert went away feeling the Mis-
siOnaries have this year the best anna
teur bunch ever seen in Walla Wal
la.
When it comes to Sticking" the
striped ones We're a bit in the lead but
the fielding Of the boys in blue suits
with Whitman across the front, was
the variety that made the fans look
charity dinner.
1t was anybOdy's game all the way
through and if it had not been for a
wild throw to first in the middle of the
game. which let in two runs it is more
than doubtful whether Lynchs paid
men would have even won out.
Rigsby did the twirling for the col
legians and proved himself a better
man than ever before. McGucken did
the major part of the twirling for the
Tigers but was hit pretty freely by
the college lads and Mike Lynch went
into the box for the last two innings
The notable plays of the game were
butchers home run in the third inning.
the pretty ''one-handed' catch of
Burnett. the Tiger shortstOp, in the
same inning. butchers neat mailing
of a hot one in the fourth chapter and
the double Which followed.
A return game will be played today
on the Whitman grounds at 4 o'clock.
1t is probable Marquis, the great Whit
man southpaw. will be put in the box
today. 1t was expected he would be
used yesterday but it was not neces-
sary on account of the fine showing
Rigsby made.
Following is the score by innings:
2 3 3 6 50
Whitman .........2 2 0 0 0 %
Tacoma 4 0 @ 0 / 0 0 o.

Mrs Eddy may have seven delusions
or seventy, as the lawyers for her son
say. When, however, they attack her
sanity and nationality on the ground
that she has 'Ethe fundamental delu-
sion of the non-existence and montreal
ity of the physical universe" they raise
an issue that is much older than Mrs.
Eddy. Another of the so-called delu-
sions which they allege is the belief
of the old lady in the mental proven
ton and cure of disease. That has
been known for more than four thous-
and years.-Troy Budget.

tea rooms Wednesday evening of last
week, and they responded to toasts
after the menu had been agreeably dis
cussed. Isaac Rice was toastmaster.
Congressman Frank M. Nye devoted
himself to the topic Of citizenship"
He dwelt on the Importance of fidelity
and honesty and said that faith and
confidence based on these qualities are
the foundation of all civilization. With
out them that humanity would make a
quick return to barbarism. He COM
pared the postal system to the nerves
Of the human body and the railroads
to the arteries, while money was typi-
fled as the life fluid.
Loren Fletcher spoke briefly and
Postmaster Hale in his address laid
stress on the necessity Of courtesy on
the part Of postoff1ce employees to the
public. He drew attention to the won
derful growth of the city and the strides
made by the postal service. He stated
the Minneapolis service is only so years
old and yet it takes fifteenth place
among the other cities of the country.
Assistant Postmaster r. E. Hughes
was assigned to speak on "Backstamp-
ing" which is one Of the frills of the
postohice work which has recently been

oner followed up his cowardly attack
with repeated blows with the iron pipe

stood in the way of his liberty. Blu;
