STANDARD LOSES DISCOUNTS
Oil Trusts Failure to Pay Cash Re.
suits in Tremendous Cost.

PITTSBURG, PA, August 6.-FoI
the first time in its history, the Stand
ard Oil Company this month took
advantage of the thirty-day privilege
of paying Independent producers in
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virgin
ia, for their product. 1t always has
been the practice of the Standard
Company to pay spot cash for all oil
bought, thus obtaining big discounts
which amounted to millions of dol
lars each year. The company has
been known to take ten days in set
Ting these accounts, but this is held
to be cash payment, and the COM
pany obtained 1 per cent discount on
such bills.
While local producers have no di-
rect knowledge of the situation in
othe rfields, it is believed that the
same rule holds good wherever the
Standard has Independent connect
ions. The reason for the Standards
action this month can only be con-
jectured, but it is considered signi-
cant that it's first failure to make
cash settlement should come when it
is being attacked in the courts
throughout the country. The delay in
settlement will result in an immense
loss in discounts.

New Steamship VIII Reach Savannah
Then.

Americas merchants and shippers
will be interested in the fact that
the new passenger steamer City OF
Savannah, which was launched on
the Delaware river a few weeks age
where she was built by the Della
ware River Ship Building Com
pany, will be ready to go in com
mission at the end of the month
The steamer is expected to reach
Savannah by September 5.
The City of Savannah has every
up-to-date appointment that a pas
senger boat of her size cen be equip
ped with, and she will be the largest
boat on the line, making two more
knots an hour than any of the line s
steamers now in commission. This
is the third ship of the line to bear
the name Savannah, while there
have been two Macons, two Allan
tas, and two named for Columbus.
But as yet Americas has never
been thus honored, although her
merchants have paid hundreds of
thousands of dollars to thecompany
in the way of passenger and freight
charges since the steamship line
was established.

Assistant Postmaster General Hitch.
cocks Man Thinks Pace Set by
Chief Too Hot for Him.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August e.
The strenuous grind OF governmental
business has caused Alfred Allmuth,
for several years private secretary of
First Assistant Postmaster General
Frank H. Hitchcock, to resign a $4,000
job and seek content and freedom in
the realm of private business pur-
suits. Mr.. Allmuth's resignation is
due othe fact that his request for
an annual vacation was turned down.
The stress of public business was
too great, he was told, for him to
leave at this time, even for a short
period Instead of plunging merrily
into summer pleasures, Mr.. Allmuth
saw the gloomy prospect of working
at the high speed set by Mr. Hitch
cock each day Though prevailed
upon to reconsider his move, Mr.
Allmuth has made preparations to
leave Washington for New York to
engage in private business.

Chicago is an Indian word, meaning
wild onion or skunk weed. Chesa-
peake is also Indian and is variously
interpreted as highly sailed water,
great waters or country on a great
river. Chautauqua is also an Indian
word and has had several interpreta-
tons, as a foggy place, Il bag tied In
the middle Teferrlng to the shape Of
the lake., place where child was
washed away, where the fish are TAX

place where one was lost. Des Moines
IS usually supposed to refer only to the
Trappist monks, and it is also connect
ed with an Indian word meaning the
road. Niagara is an Indian word, sig
nifying across the strait or at the neck.
Shenandoah is Indian and means the
sprucy stream or a river flowing along.

PENNSY'S PROSPEROUS DECADE
Yards Now handle Thrice as Many
Cars as in 1897.

PHILADELPHIA, August EN-
ormous inustrial development in the
United States in the last ten years
is shown by the figures just issued
by the Pennsylvania Railroad on the
capacity of freight yards in 1897 and
1907. Ten years ago the large yards
on the Pennsylvania had capacity
of 1881 cars, while in the last ten
years these yards have been enlarged
to the extent of holding 30,121, an
increase of nearly 200 per cent.
The necessity for the enlargement
of old yards and the construction of
new ones is due to the fact that the
Pennsylvania hauled 80 per cent.
more freight in 1906 than in 1904. The
increase in the freight mileage of
30,000,000 shows the ease of move
ment made possible by the enlarged
yards, which permit of rapid work in
making up trains and getting them
out on the road

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are unanimous in the conclu-
sion that the generally accepted linn
itation of the human life is many
years below that attainment possible
with the advanced knowledge of
which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines it's
duration, seems to be between 80
and go; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then be-
ing fatal to longevity. Natures best
helper after so is Electric Bitters,

PLENTY OF GOLD YET IN YUKOl

gold is still to be obtained from gray
ell banks, hillsides and valleys, where
the pioneer miners with placer meth

Four experts who spent a season
sampling, surveying, boring and meas

is still almost $64,OOO,OOO gold to be
taken from gravels which alreday
have yielded $119,OOO,OOO. To recov-
