Effective Until Adjudication.

He then suggested that the roads submit
to the order of the commission as originally
promulgated, to become effective not later
than October 1. the rate to remain in full
force and effect until finally adjudicated.
In reply the lawyers for the railroads say
that they will ask for an order amend
ing the injunction Of the federal court so
that the terms Of the argument can be-
come effective.
The belief here is that the railroads real
lied the futility Of prolonging the struggle,
saw certain defeat staring them in the face
and appreciated the determination of Gov.
Swanson and the state officials to force
compliance with the law. In case the mat
ter should be renewed by the federal courts
the record made up in the hearing before
the corporation commission is to constitute
the evidence to be presented.

An Apple story

Here is an apple story that will read
like fiction to many of our old Mime
sofa friends, but truth is stranger than
fiction and we will confine ourselves to
bare facts in telling the story.
On o. NJ. Touence's ranch west Of
town there are twenty-eight winesap
apple trees, upon which grew 436
boxes of apples in the season Of 1906.
OF these 349 boxes are marketable and
sold for $500 a box. The income from
these twenty-eight trees was S698, or
an average of s24.93 a tree.
An orchard set out at the rate OF 100
trees to the acre would at the above
figures yield its owners $3.50 per acre.
The land upon which this crop was
produced was thought to be worthless
a few years ago, and only two or three
years back could have been purchased
for $50 an acre. Land as good as this
can be purchased from s40o an acre
up in this valley. Come TO Cash

Ex-senator Billy Mason is quoted
as telling of trip made thru the North
west some years ago by congressional
committee comprising several senators
and members. Among the number
was Mr.. Mason himself.
While in Montana, Mr.. Mason says
he was much struck by the strength OF
character and manliness so characters
tic Of the men of that state. The com
mittee was put up for several days
by a rich miner, whose manner OF
thought and action, acquired in the
rough days Of prospecting and poverty,
had in no wise been altered by his ac-
QUESTION of great wealth.
When the time came TO say goodby
the miner grasped Mr.. Mason's hand
which he shook with great fervor.
Senator" said he, we like you here.
You're an fastener and a public man,
but you're no damned aristocratl We
have taken a great fancy to you, Ma
son, because you're free and easy, and
no gentleman-in fact, you're just like
usl"-Rochester Herald.

Washington Hears of Menace 10
President Roosevelt
$I.00 Per Year

A Washington special to the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat says persistent
rumors have been ahoat in Washington
the last few days that panic, engineer
ed in Wall street, was about to sweep
over the country. Friday and Saturday
il took a new turn, by some republican
members Of the senate and house de
claring that, in their opinion, the re-
port meant a coup by Wall street to
precipitate a condition of business un-
rest to affect the future political for
tunes Of the head of the administration.
Ii is claimed that there is no fear of
Mr.. Roosevelt himself seeking prefer
ment, but il is the wish to minimize
his influence in the next national con-
yention of his party. The whole mass
Of rumors and wise opinions based npon
it are principally interesting as disclos-
ing some movement which has not yet
taken more definite shape than that
forecast by the ticker.

MAYOR IN TEXAS
A. G. Jones, of Cashmere. Visits His
Brother in Eel PasOs Texas

A. c. Jones, mayor of Cashmere,
Washington, arrived in the city last
night to visit his brother, L. M. Jones,
civil engineer with the Mexican Cen
trail. From his orchard in the Cash
mere valley Mayor Jones brought spec
linens of all the varieties of apples
grown in that section, and they are
beauties. The apples were placed on
exhibition today at the chamber of
commerce.
OF the Spitzenberg apples, Mayor
Jones said they are grown in only a
few places in the country, and that
they have been sold in Boston for 20
cents each. He did not bring the
apples for an exhibit, but to show his
brother what they had in the Cashmere
valley. He says that orchard lands in
the valley sell for $500 an acre and
even higher.
1t is the first time that the mayor Of
the Washington town has been in Texas,
and although here but a short time he
expressed himself as much pleased
with the thrift OF the people. His vis-
it at this time is for the purposes OF
looking up some investments. Ell

Chicago Banker Thinks Co"ntrys
Prosperity Not Threatened.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune


Chicago Aug 15.-"Business is fine. and the
West has quit gambling" said John Mitchell
prcsident of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank
to-day when asked his opinion of the rumors
that a worse panic than that of 1894 is I'M
pending owing to the collapse of the stock mar
ket i'm New York and the action of the Bank
of England to-day in advancing the rate of dis
count half point.
Chicago isn't bit worried over the situit-
tion." said Mr. Mitchell 'The West never Was
further away from Wall street than it is to-day
Present conditions in way resemble those
preceding the panic of 1894
"AU lines of commerce are prospecting. Bust
ness is profitable As long as the country has
good ,crops-such were raised this year-and
as long as general business is in lively cOndi-
tion no manic can occur in Chicago and the
West
..Tha manic i'm Wall street is easily explained.
1t is due largely to the attitude of the admin
istration toward the railroads If all the roads
guilty Of rebatng are pressed TO the limit they
will become insolvent- Persons who speculate
in stocks are unloading because of the fear that
the government is after the corporations

year the Bank of England put the discount rate

Chicago and the West are not borrowing money

can YOU explain the increased cost of liv-
;neq" Mr. Mitchell was asked.
We'll" he replied 1.-The producers are getting
more money for their crops than ever before
Wages and salaries are higher than ever before
as a matter of fact, believe the cost of the
real necessities of life is not any higher than
q year ago It's the luxuries that cost more
The people are demanding and more luxu-

perhaps if the money market were little
stringent we would leave off the luxuries and
oct hack again to necessities Perhaps it would
