court POINTS OUT
RELIEF FOR MILLMEN

Seattle, Aug. 31.-If the transcon.
tineHtal lines have filed their new
lumber and single tariffs with the
interstate commerce commission. Pa.
cif1c Coast lumberlnen have not been
notified Of such action and local
traffic officials have not been told
about 1t.
A decision of Judge Kohlsaat at
Chicago, granting q temporary res
training order prohibiting Western
lines from putting into effect a new
rate on creamery products, has en-
couraged lumbermen to believe that q
way Of preventing the lumber tariffs
from going into effect has been found.
There is only this much in common
between creameries and lumber camps,
that the Western creamery men are
to fight the new rates before the inter-
state commerce commission, and the
federal court tied up the rate until
the federal board shall have looked
into the merits Of the controversy. II
the creamery rates can be tied up
pending hearing, millmen believe
they can go into court for temporary
relief on lumber rates and may adopt
that plan

ELEPHANTS TAKE A RAMDLE.

Break Away from Exhibition and
Make for Wood Of vincennes.
There Is a colonial exhibition going
on at Nogent-sur Marine, pretty vii
lage near Paris, and from it comes q
story quite in the Kipling spirit Of a
strike on the part Of the tame elephants
which are feature Of the show, says
the New York Sun. There are twelve
of the big beasts, and they are attach
ed to the Indo- Chinese village As they
we're supposed to be the tamest ele-
plants in captivity, they were not
chained or tied up In any way. To
create the illusion Of herd roaming
the jungle they were turned loosd in
copse surrounded by an unobtrusive
barrier when they were not busy do
ing stunts under direction Of their keep
ers
Nobody knows what prompted the
freak, as the elephants haven't told any
one, but one fine day, without warn
ing, the whole herd began trumpeting,
and then moved in solid phalanx on the
unobtrusive barrier. They went through
it as If 1t was made Of jackstraws, and
traanping over the Strawberries and
rockeries and butting down numerous
native huts" which were features Of
the exhibition, they started across
country for the Bots de Vincennes, one
Of the tame forests Of Paris, where
they proceeded to enjoy themselves as
If they were in their native wilds.
They pulled branches Of big trees and
snapped little ones in two and de-
voured all the saplings in sight until
their keepers, aided by the employees of
the show, made Gordon around them
and drove them back to- their Enclosure
with sharp hooks and goadA They
were hardly back and the barrier
patched up around them when they be-
gan trumpeting again. With a rush
they once again made their way to
liberty, creating havoc as they passed.
This time the whole village Of No
gent turned out as elephant hunters.
When they were surrounded in some
meadow land the animals showed no
sign Of temper. They let themselves
be driven quietly to the show. When
they got them there the keepers put
heavy chains on the feet Of all the
wanderers.
