1t is safe to say that many more com

showing the applications of the principles
adopted in the Buell. case in dollars aud

A 2I2 cent maximum rate of fare Will
enable the defendant company TO earn SUD

pany TO earn substantially SO per cent.

The detailed traffic analysis MS in the
two other cases decided was made for the

tion of the commission that the present
maximum basal rate of cents per mile
charged for intrastate traffic In Wisconsin
is excessive and that charge of not to
exceed 21a cents per mile between points
within such state should be substituted
therefor and such reduction can be made
without affecting other classes of tickets

the question Of @win Fertilizing With
Stone Meal Payl" says:
THE practical point to settle is how

it will be profitable for the farmer to

and nitrogen of the air act upon 1t. A
grain of stone dust of moderate fineness
may be reduced in a mortar of agate
into perhaps twenty little particles. and
then every particle may be rendered ae-
cessibe to the water and the air; and
can, therefore. be used as plant food.
Thence it follows that one single load
Of the finest stone-meal will do as much
as twenty loads OF coarser product, SO
that by reducing to the finest dust the
cost for freight and carriage and the
use OF horse and cart would amount to
only one-twentieth Therefore we can
afford to pay higher price for the finest
stone meal that has been passed through
a sieve than for an article that may not
be so much fine powder but rather a
kind OF coarse sand.
The average contents of ash in cereals
is about three per cent. Thence, from
three pounds of pure vegetable ashes we
could raise a hundred pounds of crops.
Now, as stone meal property made con-
tains an abundance of plant food in as;

 Kahiltna, Oct. 2 Nearly all the miners have passed down from the creeks. 1t is believed that the output this year was about double that of last vera.
 Clark x HaSley are now work ing four men on their new strike on the KahiItna. The cleanups show about an ounce to the man per day. Attention was not called to this par ticular location till late in the season, but already several locations have been made. Next year considerable new ground will be opened up for sev- eral miles along the main Kahiltna.
 There are a considerable number of men headed for the Kuskokwim this fall. The launches have already land- ed eight men with their outfits at the mouth of the Skwentna headed for that region. Several others are get ting ready to go. Most of these men have made their grubstake in the Cache creek country this summer.
 None of the men who went into the Kuskokwim last winter has returned as yet, and no news as to what was done has come out this way. Some of them will probably be out this way on the first ice.
