TRY 2-CENT LAW.
FEDERAL COURT DECIDES.
Missouri Enjoimed from Enforcing
Warimun3 Freight Las.

Kansas City. no, June 17.-Ju3ge Smith Nc
Pherson. Of Red Oak, Iowa, in the United States
District Court here this afternoon handed down
an opinion growing out Of the conflict between the
Circuit courts Of Kansas City and ST. Louis and
the federal court here over the enforcement of
the Missouri maximum freight and two-cent pas
scnger laws.
Judge Mcpherson retains and maintains juTs
diction to adjudicate the validity of the freight
and passenger laws of Missouri, including the
amendatory freight law Of 1907 Whether the
temporary injunction asked for by the Missouri
railroads to restrain the state officials from en-
forcing these statutes shall be issued, and, If Is
sued, whether 1t shall enjoin the enforcement OF
either the passenger or the freight laws, one or
both, WILL the court says, be considered a week
more hence.
Judge Mcpherson said that his present view
was that the twO-Cent law should be put in force
until it could be ascertained by actual expert
ence whether two cents would be remunerative.
The decision was rendered in the case of the
Wabash Railway Company agt. Herbert S. Had
ley Attorney General. and other state officers
and seventeen other like cases
After Judge Mcpherson had rendered his de-
cision the railways and the state agreed to a
statement of facts follows;
That the railways application for temporary
Is sustained, and until further order Of court
herein the state officials enjoined from at
tempting to recover any penalty or seeking TO en-
AS to the two-cent act. the order heretofore
entered by the court enjoining the railways from
obeyins that law shall remain in effect until June
" next at a. m, At which time the fixed
by said act shall be put and kept IN force for
three months, without prejudice to the rights OF
either party, for the purpose OF ascertaining
definitely the extent that experience will show that
the rates under said act reduce or increase earn
ings Of complainant.
Later Judge Mcpherson entered an order put
ting into effect the agreement of facts entered
into between the attorneys for the state and
the railways.
GI3y Telegraph 20 The Trihune.l
Chicago June 1.-THE two-cent passenger rate
Will be put in force by Illinois railroads,
with provision that II at the end Of ninety days
1t Is found to be unreasonable the railroads will
apply TO the courts for relief.
y decision TO this effect was made this afternoon
by lawyers Of the Illinois railroads learning
that Attorney General Hadlev of Missouri had
agreed to withdraw all suits in the state courts,
the federal court to retain jurisdiction.
The same procedure will be followed in Iowa,
provided the state authorities agree. In Nebraska
and Arkansas the rates are in effect, and
for contesting the law have not been taken.

The management of the Alaska-Per, severance Mining Go. say that the new mill is all that could be desired. The l25O pound stamps are dropping 96 drops to the minute and will crush more ore than any mill in Alaska in tons per stamp per day. The James Concentrator Company haro an export adjusting the tables, which arc now do- ing excellent work. The company is adding new house for concentrates. The building is about finished. One hundred stamps will be running short Iy. Every stamp that drops means greater prosperity to Juneau, with re viral of business.-Daily Dispatch.
 The writer of the above hits the nail souarely. But he might add that it is such enterprises that furnish the only hope we have for real and continued prosperity in Southeastern Alaska. Other industries may in measure help things along, but the company or indi- vidual that will invest the dollars, talk ing for it's surety faith in the country is the only hope for big things. And when such men come and put their shoulder to the wheel and invest their cash, they should have the good will and help of every citizen. Alaska quartz mines are not "bonanzas," but with prudent care in the management of their operation they can be made to pay large returns. However, the turn ing point between success and failure is very easily reached, and each failure makes others more likely. So we con- tend that the man or the association of men who array themselves against these companies, are enemies not only to themselves, but to the common good. The man who continually seeks for some pretext to tear down what others have built; he who never fails to give voice to complaints; in short the chrou- ic kicker and trouble maker is the man who should be brought up with a short jerk. If these companies, like the one above mentioned, are not to be allowed to proceed peaceably, without nagging, their prosperity will be short lived, div idends will be replaced by assessments and works will close. When that day comes the ravens will roost ou the rot ten rafters of the buildings once occu- pied by the business men of Juneau and Douglas. Some will say we have exaggerated; have drawn sthe picture, too dark. But that is what it means; that is where it will end, and every good citizen should stand like stone wall against the common foe.

In Menoriam.

Resolutions adopted by Alaska Lodge, No. l, 1. o. o. F., upon the death of Max Valsntinotti;
 WHEREAS, It is with feelings of pro- found sorrow that we are called upon to mourn the death of our esteemed brother, Max Valentinotti, which oc- cured at Fairbanks, Alaska, on May 18th, 1907, and, while he battled hard to shake off the grim monster, Death conquered, yet he seemed prepared to 20. One of the first lessons of life is the certainty of death. "Death is the final scene in human life; it comes when childhood's hours are reaching out to youth; 1t comes to youth and cuts short its m5itions; 1t comes to man in manhood's prime and leaves his work undone; it comes when hoary locks and failing strength proclaim the end is near. Whether in mid-sea or 'mong the breakers on the farther shore, wreck at last must mark the end of each aud all and every life" Therefore be it
 RESOLVED, That we sympathize with his devoted wife in her sad bereave- ment, and we earnestly pray that God, in His infinite mercy, will enable her to bear up under this afliiction with Christian fortitude, and humbly sub- init to His divine will, which governs all things.
 RESOLVED, That In respect to the memory of our deceased brother, our charter be draped in mourning for 30 days, that copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our Lodge, copy be sent to the Douglas Island News for publication, and copy be sent to the bereaYed widow.

A Short Sermon

The men at the head of any institu- ton, be it industrial, educational, eco homie or religious, send their spirits down through the minds of every one connected with it. Tbe very success of the institution demands that this shall be so. Hence it follows that the smallest and most insignificant mem. Der of church, is permeated by the fear, hate and cruelty which the leader holds toward an individual who differs from him in opinion. He gets it from his denominational paper, and from his pastor, aud his pastor gets it from sources higher up the scale.
 Safety and progress lie in. freeing the clergy from bondage to the past. Thinking men, busy in the world of work, will have plenty of texts for Sunday sermons, and these texts will all be gotten out of their work, not out of musty, dusty books.-Philistine.
