DECLARES LONG HAIR
INDUCES LONGEVITY.

MAPLE FALLS, Oct. 14.-John F'itz-
patrick is now rs years old and has
let his hair grow in order to prolong
his life and give him strength, he says.
He claims to have the finest head of
hair in the world, and those who have
seen him say this claim is no idle
boast. He is an athlete and is ready
to meet almost all comers in running
races.
Fitzpatrick was born in Ireland in
the town of Bellingford, Slago county.
He came to New York in 1860, Travelled
extensively and then settled at Hamil-
ton, Ontario, Later he went to Mich
igan and entered in the lumber mill
business. A few years ago he came
west to ancOuver B. G. From the Ca
Ladian city he went to Maple Falls and
is now engaged in the transfer busi-
ness.
The old man is still strong and able
to do a days work with the youngest
has always been an early riser. To his
long hair and the fact that he always
rose with the sun, he attributes his
strengt and health.

NO EXTENT|ONS
IN THE Future
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS.
SION SAYS TICKET HOLDERS
MUST KEEP IN LIMIT.

Sickness, death or any other mis-
fortune viii not. IN the future, be a
valid excuse for the extension of tick
cts sold at reduced rates on railroads
throughout the United States. This is
the result of ruling of the inter-
state commission, which has taken the
matter in hand.
Heretofore, if any good excuse could
be shown why a ticket should be ex-
tended, it has been the custom of the
railroads to grant such extension. If,
if relative died, or any thing of that
sort, the railroads would grant an ex-
tension of the ticket. Now however.
this can no longer be done according
20 the ruling of the interstate COM
merce commission, which is as fol-
lows:
I'VE are of the opinion that tickets
sold at reduced rates to be used within
limited and designated period, ought
not to be extended because of sick
nes or other misfortune, for which the
carrier is in no way responsible. While
this may seem a harsh rule, it seems
quite plain that a contrary ruling
would open the door to evasion and
imposition.
There would frequently, if not gen.
orally, be no way to determine whether
the illness claimed was actual or pre-
tended, and extensions on that account
might be at the caprice of the carrier
or result in discrimination between
persons entitled to the same trea tment.
On the whole we believe it to be the
safer and fairer rule. supported by
considerations of public policy. to re-
quire limited tickets to be used within
the time fixed, and we believe that no
great hardship would result from such
requirement.

So much interest has been taken by
the boys of the different schools who

morrow night The boys in that school
have become much interested in the

who have the swim in charge.
Wednesday night the Berney school
boys will be given a chance to bath
in the big pool They have heard of
the matter and at once shown interest
in it. Other schools will also be In
vited.
The result of last weeks swim was
gratifying to the members of the as
sociation Several memberships We're
taken out any many more have been
promised That the Y. NJ. c. A. is
working for their advantage many of
the boys see and are not slow in TAX

CAR SHORTAGE SAYS LpNE
BUSINESS OF WEST HAS GROWN
TO RAPIDLY FOR RAILROAD
COMPANIES.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane re-
turned Saturday from trip to the Pa
cific coast thoroughly convinced that
tho business of the northwest is going
to suffer by reason of the general car
shortage. He found throughout that
section that, although the railroads are
increasing their equipment, some very
extensively, business is growing twice
as rapidly, and in consequence the
roads are bound to fall farther and
farther behind.
He did not discuss the question IN
detail or indicate what action the in
terstate commerce commission is likely
n take for he has not yet had an op-
nortunity of comforting with his col
leagues.
Mr. Lane said there would be a fuel
famine in the northwest. II there
should be a long hard winter. Increase
of manufactures and increased use OF
ooal nv railroads calls for more coal
thar, the old markets have been ac-
customed to supply, and wood fuel
cannot supply the deficiency for DO
nestic use. because of the high wages
demanded by lumbermen. making IL
unavoidable TO place wood on the mar
ket in large quantities. If the winter
;e mill and short, the northwest may
eScane without suffering; otherwise
there will be hardship.
