Appraisement Of Railroad Valuations
by Federal Commission.

Appraisement Of Railroad Valuations
by Federal Commission.
Chicago, May 1S.-A dispatch to the
Record Herald from Tacoma, Wash,
says:
"President Roosevelt told me that
he is considering advocating the ap-
pointment of commission by con-
gress to appraise the value of railroad
properties in the United States" said
B. S. Grosscup, general Western coun-
sci of the Northern Pacific railroad
and leading corporation attorney, on
his return from the East. "The atti-
tude of the president is different from
that of Western state legislatures in
that he is not in favor of estimating
merely the cost of reproducing the
railroad properties. Roosevelt is will
ing to give the railroads allowance for
the energy, enterprise and patronage
entering into the business"

"Well, Green came into the Office this

"Colic? What the devil would I be

He sat down and picked up the pa.

Then he entered the library and look

It was, and he returned and sat down
