Portland. Ore. April 9.-Spokane
had the best of it yesterday at the
closing session of the hearing before
Commisson Pronty on the petition of
Spokane for terminal rates. Although
attacked in the most severe cross-eX
animation by Judge Gilman, for the
Great Northern, Expert Gillette OF
the Washington state railroad COM
mission stood his ground manfully.
He did not yield from his original
estimte Of the value of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific sys-
TENS.
Cross examination Of Mr.. Gillette
extended over two hours. At times
the dialogue became heated and At.
torney Brooks Adams cautioned
Judge Gilman several times not to be
captious with the witness, but to al
low him to explain any answers he
might desire.
Mr.. Gillette took the stand foT
cross-examination aud IL was thought
by me who have been follvoiDg the
case that Spokane's expert was due
for q grilling. At the end he emery
ed smiling, with the attorneys who
put him through the rigid inquisition
looking crestfallen.
The first estimate of Mr.. Gillette
that was submitted to the acid test by
Judge Gilman was the item Of coutin.
gencies. The expert had contsnded
that the fund of 10 per cent provided
by the railroad engineers is only q
fund to provide for carelessness.
Judge Gilman asked what the Witnes.
thought Of the liability of fires
storms and floods, and whether tbes'
were not contingencies which nigh
properly be provided for in the eati
mates.
Mr.. Gillette said In the case Of re
building q road already eontructeC
sufficient definite data was in th'
hands of the railroad to do away witt
guesswork and the need for remedy

RATE CASE
EVIDENCE is in
Arguments of Attorneys to be
Heard in Washington

The cost OF bringing men from St.
Paul for the Portland Seattle con-
struction was said to be very expen-
siVe by Judge Gilman. Commission
er Pruoty took Issue with him, saying
the road is being built under peculiar
coRditions, being owned by the two
Hill lines. which pay themselves for
carrying the en- out to the work.
eff 10 cent? q yard, as was esti-
mated by the ugineers, lie paid for
this service" said Commissioned
Prouty, "the roads are paying them
selves a very good price. should
say this would add largely to their
earnings at this rate. -
Mr.. Gilman was not entirely a,
home In dealing with details and
could extract no admissions from the
witness. He asked the cost OF ripap-
ping and poohpoobed the experts
figures at S1. 35 . yard.
''If you want u few riprAp prices
on your own road will give you
some, " said Mr. Gillette. ''Some oil
your contracts for this work we're lei
at 81 % 9 yard. and sOue at 81.
These are actual figures. Others were
let at less than $685."
BaIlasting then came mp, Mr.. Gil.
Ietts having placed this item at 80
cents a yard. Mr.. Gilman tried BIZ
best to get the witness TO admit THU
figure was too low, but failed.
Attorney Dounelly then tried u
hammer down Mr.. GiIlette's figures
on the probable cost Of recOnstructinl
the Northern Pacific, but came oui
with no more dying coiors than BIZ

All this talk about the scarcity Of
money is simply an effort on the part
of the New York gamblers to force
the farmers of the South to sell their
cotton. You can sell cotton but you
can't borrow a dollar on it. We
know of parties here in town who
had cotton in Augusta and wanted
money on it. but couldn't get it..
They were told that the cotton could
be sold at present prices, but no
loans would be made on it as collat-
eral. Much cotton is being held in
the South, and the North and the
East are trying to force it on the
market. There is no reason for any
panic, and the farmers should stand
firm. Hold your cotton and don't
sell at present prices.

Charleston's handsome new union
passenger depot is completed at last,
it being used for the first time last
Sunday. No longer will one feel dis
graced over the. make shift struct-
ures of the Southern and Atlantic
Coast Line railroads in that city.
It has long been a reproach that the
chief city of South Carolina should
have such poor depots, buildings
which were not good enough for a
way station. But this is no longer
the case, and the structure just com
pleted is one of the largest and
handsomest in the South. The old
city is getting amove on it in many
ways, and we will all rejoice.

The grand jury did we'll to find no
bill in the case against Wesley Hutto
for the murder of NJ. B. Warn. Hutto
has been in Jail for several months
at an expense to the county, when
there was no evidence to connect him
with this murder. Addison johnson
should also be tried or turned loose.
These two negroes have cost the
county several hundred dollars, and
there is no possibility of convicting
them. We want to see the murderer
of Mr.. Warn caught and hung, but
there is no use to be putting the
county to useless expense. The
county has no money to waste in
boarding negroes in Jail. This item
of board for prisoner will cost about
500 the present year. !

$4,000 Worth of Lingerie.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-The truosseau of
Princess Marie Bonaparte, whose
marriage to Prince George of Greece
will be celebrated next month, has
been put on exhibition and has set all
Paris to discussing it: Such a mag
nifcient display Of feminine fnery
has not been seen here since the ad-
vent of the third republic. There are
65 different costumes complete,
a dozen hats, a profusion of costly
furs and sables, acres of linen
and piles of dainty lingerie. The lin
gerie alone cost S80,0O0, the beautl-
full skirts and other garments which
the bride will wear on her wedding
day attracting much attention: The
princess has been the subject of much
criticism by Parisians because the en-
tire trousseau was purchased at sin
gle house and that not a French, but
an Austrian house.

State Superintendent Of Education
O. B. Martin announced his candi-
dacy for the United States Senate
last Monday. In his initial statement
he speaks out clearly and sensibly,
incidentally paying his respects to
Senator Latimer and Governor Ansel.
We may not support Mr.. Martin, but
certain it is that he will make the
campaign interesting, and the pre-
sent Senator and Mr.. Ansel Gf he
runs) will have to do a powerful lot
of explaining. Mr.. Martin is a good
campaigner, and he has the ear Of a
large part of the voters of South
Carolina. We must not be under

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
Commerce Commission Report Tells
of Loss of Life During Past Year.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE inter
state commerce commission bulletin
on accidents upon railroads of the
United States during the year ended
June 80 last shows the total casualties
to be 81 ,286, or 5000 persons killed
and 1925 injured. This is an in
crease of 1882 casualties, or IT'S
more killed and 9,577 more injured
than the previous year. These fig
ures include only accidents to passen-
gers and to employees while actually
on duty on or about trains. The
bulletin says:
'There have been heavy increases
in all of the items, except accidents
in car coupling and from striking
against overhead distractions. The
number of passengers killed and in
iured in collisions and derailments
has increased to an alarming degree.
In this item the very large total re-
ported in 1905 is now exceeded by IL
per cent.
"The comparative smallness of the
increase in casualties due to coupling
and uncoupling cars, and in accidents
to men on the tops of freight cars, is
| undoubtedly due in a large measure
to Improvement in the maintenance
and care of automatic couplers and
| to increased use of air brakes on
freight trains. :,
"The disastrous record of casual.
ties to passengers in train accidents
(410 killed. is due in large measure
to ten accidents which caused the
death of 291 persons" >"
