company Of Missouri, and the Blue.
Valley Creamery company Of Iowa,
against the Illinois Central, Great
Western, Burlington, Northwestern

plainants assert they purchase cream
throughout the western part Of the
United States and ship it to central
plants located in various cities of the
middle west, where it is manufac-
tured into butter. In the aggregate
they do a business amounting to
nearly $2,O00.000 a year, involving
the manufacture ofalmost 100000
pounds of butter. They allege the
rates charged them by railroads on
shipments Of cream are excessive
and unreasonable and that they are
prevented from obtaining reduced
rates by the attitude Of several Of
the defendants who have conspired
to keep rates at their present high
figures. The commission is asked

An exciting form of winter sport in
which Canadian boys excel is barrel
racing on the ice. Ordinary barrels
with their heads removed, are placed
at regular intervals along the race
course for about a quarter Of n mile.
Then at a given signal all the boys
skate for the first barrel. Many french
it together. and MS each skater must
crawl through all the, barrels in or
der to win 1t is TO be imagined that
there is quite n scramble for first turn.
Sometimes barrel wheels completely
around while the boy is working his
way through 1t. and when he comes
out he is so confused that he skates
off In the wrong direction. Usually
the laugh of the spectators makes him
realize his blunder, and he quickly
turns about and tries to make mp for
lost time. 1t is quite nm exciting sport
and an Interesting one also for the
spectator, us the boys and barrels bob
about in the most amusing fashion,
