new RULING

By the Interstate Com
merCe Commission.
THROUGH ROUTES
And Rates as Determinedby The New
Railroad Rate Law are Defined
by the Commission.

Washington, June Gin decision
announced Wednesday by the inter.
state commerce commission, some i'm.
portant points are determined with
respect to through routes and through
rates under the provisions of the new
railroad rate law The decision held
that nearly all Of the railroads in the
United States are United as part
routes over which through rates exist,
even when no joint rate has been es.
tablished.
The decision deals with the move.
ment Of 100000 pounds of sugar
held In storage at Omaha which was
taken into that city before the existing
tariff out of Omaha and to the east
went into effect. The question raised
was whether the Chicago Burlington
a Quincy Railroad Co. might allow
sugar stored In Omaha to go forward
under tariff put into effect after the
sugar was stored. The commission
holds that the sugar cannot be so
moved The decision says:
There can be but one through rate
In effect between any points in a given
time and this rate may be joint rate
or combination OF rates applicable on
through business. Where no joint
through rate Is in effect, a combination
through rate over through route may
be made up of any rates applicable on
through ansportation-the sum OF
the locals, or a proportional rate in
and a local rate out, or two or more
proportional or any other lawfully es-
tablished rate which may be joined to-
gether to make rate over the
through route; but such combination
through rate must be treated as a unit
from the date OF original shipment to
the date OF arrival at destination, and
the rate applied must be the combi-
nation Of rates which exists upon the
date of original shipment. Tariffs can
not be given retroactive effect"
The decision further states that "a
combination through rate is as bind.
ing, definite and absolute as Joint
through rate"

slo FIND OF MEeRscHAuM.
Discovery Does Away With Turkish
Governments Monopoly.

Because OF the discovery OF vast
deposits of meerschaum in the noun.
tains of New Mexico il is likely that
the monopoly of that mineral here
tofoie held by the Turkish govern
ment will be broken, and pipes OF
that material will be lessened in cost.
Until recently all the meerschaum
used in the commerce OF the world
was produced from a mine In the
plains of Eskihisher, Anatoly, Turkey
in Asia. In those mines are employed
10000 men. The output OF the mine
was owned by the Turkish govern
ment and il kept the price up.
II Is said that enough meerschaum
has been discovered in Grant county,
New Mexico, to supply the worlds
needs.
There is popular belief that meer.
schaum is petrihed sea foam washed
up ages ago and solldifed by some
strange process of nature. Nicer.
schaum is a mineral known to sclen-
lists as 'sepiolite." 1t is composed
principally of silica and magnesium.
1t Is found In assures In the rock,
where volcanic action has forced 1t up
TO the surface.
Meerschaum is used not only for
making tobacco pipes, but because Of
its unique properties of resisting u
high degree of heat and its ready
absorption of water, 1t is put to vari.
GUS electrical and mechanical uses.
In the mines of New Mexico solid
block of meerschaum weighing AZ
pounds was taken out. 1t was the
largest block OF meerschaum ever
mined.--New York Financial News.

OF a Series of Crimes Is
Made in Court BY
HARRY ORCHARD.
The Prosecutions Star Witness in
the Haywood Trial Tells aStOry
That SiCkens His Hearers.

Boise Idaho, June 6.--Alfred Hors.
ley alias Harry Orchard, the actual as.
shssin OF Frank Steunenberg. went on
the stand Wednesday as a witness
against William ID. Haywood and
made public confession OF long chain
OF brutal, revolting crimes, committed,
he said, at the inspiration and for the
pay OF the leaders of the Western
Federation of Miners.
An undertaking by the prosecutors
for the state that they would by later
proof and connection make his testi-
mony legitimate. opened the way like
a fioodgate to the whole dlabolical
story, and throughout the entire day
Orchard went on from crime recital to
crime recital. each succeeding one
seemingly more revolving than the one
that preceded
Orchard confessed that as a mem.
ber OF the mob that wrecked the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mills In the
Occur dAlenes he lighted one Of the
fuses that carried fire to the giant
powder explosion; confessed that he
set the death trap in the Vindlcator
mine at Cripple Creek that blew out
the lives OF Superintendent McCor.
mick and Foreman Beck; confessed
that because he had not been paid for
his first attempt at violence In the Win.
dicator mine he had been treacherous
10 his associates by warning the man.
ayers OF the Florence & Cripple Creek
railway that there was plot to blow
up their trains; confessed that he fired
three charges. OF buckshot irto the
body Of Detective Lyte Gregory, of
Denver killing him instantly; con
fessed that for days he stalked Gov.
Peabody, of Colorado about Denver,
waiting a chance to kill him; con.
fessed that he and Steve Adams set
and discharged the mine under the
station at Independence, Col, that In.
stantly killed II men, and confessed
that. failing In an attempt to poison
Fred Bradley, Of San Francisco, he
blew him and his house mp with
bomb OF gelatin powder.
Orchard retained control OF himself
almost from the moment he took the
stand. His eyes were bloodshot and
his face notified in color when he
came into the room to confront the
man whose life he jeopardlzes, He
was plainly nervous. He quickly
steadled himself and was soon talking
in the soft, easy tones that character
ize his speech, His manner was easy
and his gaze steady in any direction
whence a question claimed his atten.
tlon. His eyes blinked a little when
he told how he trailed and murdered
Lyte Gregory, but his voice altered
none In tone. Orchards eyes met
those OF Haywood several times and
the two gazed lxedly at each other,
with honors even in the tests.

LONGING FOR COUNTRY LIFE.
Desire 10 Almost Universal Among
Successful Men.

A strange thing is the universal
longing OF professional men and others
who have come to the city and have
prospered, as they advance in life to
get back to the country. 1t is seldom
that they do not return, and when
they do there is often disappointment
and things do not appear as they did
long ago. The change is in the man
himself but he thinks 1t is in the
country. Nevertheless, the desire to
get back to the old country place to
end ones days is very general.
Sir Walter Scott refers to 1t and
compares the course OF man through
the world to that OF the hare which
is started from her lair, and after a
long chase and making large circle
ends by returning TO the nest from
which she started

OLIVE OIL OF CALIFORNIA.

Much Petroleum.

The sale Of olive oil constitutes one
of the largest items of revenue to Cal
ifornla. Although olives have been
grown there for more than half
century, the quantity of fruit sold out
side OF the state before 1900 was in
significant.
Forming themselves into an asso-
citation, a number of the large grow.
ers have taken steps since then to
compete with Italy and France,in sell
ing their product, and , succeeded
to such an extent tn; cordlng to
Moody's Magazine, they manufacture
large proportion OF the 250,0 900 gal
Ions of olive oil at present produced in
this country.
One ton of olives usually Yields 30
to 80 gallons OF oil.
For the eastern trade the California
association has established an exten-
