Then in the presence of the 5000 peO-
pie seated in the. grandstand and
gathered on the grounds near she
throne. under the cleaning stars of
the autumn night, amid the acclaim
of the thousands present, Prime Min
lister Bard placed the jewelled diadem
on the fair brow of the beautiful SOW
ereign. The ceremony was impressive
and had a touch of reality which made
it easy to see why the people of other
countrvs bend the knee to a despotic
ruler.
Now Has Key to City.
The master of ceremonies then
brought out the massive key to the
city and handed it to The prime min
lister who laid it at the feet of the
newly crowned queen.
Then the canton, which had been
standing in front of the gentlemen and
ladies of the court, stepped back dis
closing the court seated below and on
both sides of the queen. To the music

ladies' went through the steps of the
stately uinuet. Bepowdered ard be-
wigged. the ladies and gentlemen of
the queens following curtseyed and
bowed to each other with the grandeur
of our colonial ancestors.
Following this were two numbers
rendered by the Walla Walla Maenner-
Choir and sung as Only the true sons OF
Germany can sing.
The last feature on the stage were
the acts of the court entertainers who
appeared for the first time. Some ex-
ceedingIy clever work was done by the
slack wire artists and the new stunt
of "the human bear" was admittedly
the best ever seen here.
After the performers had been dis
missed the queen, followed by her
court AMI escort, retired to their car
riagcs and returned to the royal pal
ace. amid the loud acclaim of her hap
nv and prosperous subjects.
Long live the queen!

ASPHALT TRUST ARRAIGNED.
Unfair Methods Alleged in Utah and
Colorado,

Complaint has been filed with the inter-
state commerce commission by the Ameri-
can Asphalt Association, organized under
the laws Of Missouri, but doing business in
Utah and Colorado. 1t is alleged that 1t
that the trust had not only shut it in a
room, but had locked the door and thrown
the key out of the window. The specific
trouble was with little railroad fifty-four
miles long running from Dragon, Utah, to
Mack, Col 1t was named the Uintah rail-
way, but the compliments alleged that it
was owned wholly by the Barber Paving
Company and the General Asphalt Com
pany, which is popularity known as the as
phalt trust.
The American Asphalt Association owns
some mines of gilsonite at Dragon, Utah,
and has to transport its products over the
little Uintah railway to get to shipping
point on the main line The railroad charges
it 80 cents per 100 pounds for this haul,
amounting to $3.50 a car. In addition to this
1t charges 25 cents per car for load
ing, though 1t does this service for other
shippers for nothing. Further, the asphalt
trust owns a road over which the American
Association has to haul its gi!sonite from
the mines to the railway station. The trust
charges a toll of rs cents per team
over this road The compliments say
that they do not know how much the road
charges the trust for carrying its asphalt
from Dragon to Mack. but that 1t would
not make any particular difference, for the
trust owns the road, and whatever freight
It pays it would merely be paying to ltseli:
The American Asphalt Association says
it has never been able to ascertain what
tariff Is charged the asphalt trust on its
products, but that as tho tariff on live
stock from Dragon to Mack Is only $ZS per
car, it thinks $50 a car for its products
unjust, excessive. extortionate. unreasona,
BILE. oppressive and a few other things. and
It prays that the interstate commerce com
rnission will not only set a just rate, but
wifi award 1t $4,000 damages for wrongs II
haa aufferAd In the mast.

NEW YORK CENTRAL DECLINES.
Will Not Electrify Lines in the Adj
rondack Region.

ALBANY, April 23.-The New York Gem
trail railroad. through Chauncey NJ. Depew.
of its board of directors, has notified
Commissioner ]. s. Whpple of the
state forest, fish and game Depart
ment that it will not be possible TO con-
slider this year a suggestion offered by Com
missioner Whipple that the railroad should
electrify It's lines running through the Adj
rondacks in order to guard against forest
fires. Mr.. Depew says that he considers the
suggestion of Commissioner Whipple val
liable one: and adds that his own personal
interest in the preservation of the Adlron-
dack forests is very great, but that the
railroad has too much other work on hand
at the present time to take up the change
suggested. He declares that the work or
electrifying state railroad lines is very ex-
pensive and that il is yet in an experimental
stage.
In his letter to Chairman Depew Commits
sioner Whpple says:
| am pleased to note the success Whlcn
has attended the Introduction of electric
motors on the New York Central lines run
ming out of New York city, and that the
practicability of these engines for haunng
freight and passenger trains has been fully
demonstrated. / am Informed mat the
board of directors is contemplating the use
of electricity as a motor on other DIVISIONS
in selecting the lines for such extension
that preference be given to the Adlronuack
division and its branches. The preservation
of the forests along that line and the inter
est which you have in maintaining the
scenic conditions on which your summer
business depends to great extent are my
reasons for this suggestion.
The use of electric motors on forest ram
roads will eliminate the most prolihc source
Of fire II the New York Central Will act
promptly their initiative will undoubtedly
be followed soon by the other railroad lines
in the Adirondacks and the Catskill forests.
