MANY MILLIONS INVOLVED
Lumber Men Of Pacific Coat
Suing Railroads

WASHINGTON, June 11-A case
involving millions of dollars annually
to the lumber interests of the far west
and embodying the question of joint
rates and through routes is being
argued before the interstate commerce
commission today.
1t is charged by the Pacific Lumber
Manufacturers association and the
single mills bureau that, owing to
the nights between the Hartman and
Hill systems it is impossible to get
lumber and shingles from Washing
ton points through Oregon to daho,
Utah. Wyoming, Colorado. Kansas and
Nebraska points except by paying the
local rate to Portland and rebilling.
The result is millions of feet of pre-
pared timber are awaitin" shipment
owing to the car shortage.
The suit is against the Northern
Pacific. Southern Pacific. Oregon Rail-
way, Missouri Pacific and other lines.

Der one boy in particular who
was the butt of all ridicule from
the boys of his age, and he took
it good naturally. He seemed
to have no particular friends and
'herded' by himself His clothes
always looked funny and he had
that awkward swagger over
which the rest of us had so much
sport. No one ever thought that
that plug would ever get any
where or. ever have anything.
But today that plug is drawing a
better salary than any two of the
old gang. He has more money,
more influence and more friends
than any of the rest of US. The
plug had a gait that was slow,
but it was sure. He didn't ap-
pear to be a bit bright then, but
he had surface that took on a
polish. The fellow in the class
who made the most fun of the
plug was slated for the presi-
dency of the United States, he
was smart. But few years
later he signed the wrong mans
name to a check and he hash 4
done much since. So dom make
too much fun of the plug. A
plug boy doesn't always make a
plug man. The plug boy of to
day may be your boss tomorrow
Cultivate the plug more and the
smart Aleck less. 1t will pay
you better dividends.

Success Gems.

The object for which we strive
tells the story of our lives.
There are a hundred success
full men for one that is contented
Without economy some can be
rich, and with it none need be
poor.
Better believe yourself a Ounce
and work away than a genius and
be idle.
The moment that others see
that money grabbing is your
dominant passion, then the bud
of your nobility perishes.
A constant struggle, a cease
less battle to bring success from
inhospitable surroundings, is the
price of all great achievements.
There are some people who
believe that the whole human
race will be saved" said an old
lady, but for my part hope
for better things. y Spokesman
