Washington, January 15.-(Special)-The interstate commerce commission today, in an opinion rendered by Commissioner Prouty tonight announced it's decision in the case of the Reliance Textile and Dye Works against the Southern Railway company and others. The complaint in this case alleged that rates on cotton piece goods from Cincinnati, O., to Chi cago, H.. are so adjusted as to diserim- mate against Cincinnati in comparison with certain similar establishments at Clearwater s. G., and Lanette, Ala. The rate on cotton piece goods from Clearwa- ter and Lanette to nearby dye works and from the dye works to Chicago is less than the combination from the mill to the dye works of the complainant at Cincinnati and from thence to Chicago This is for the reason that the rate from Clearwater and Lanette is competitive with that from New England
 The commission decided that while the better combination in favor of the south ern dye works may be a discrimination against the works of the complainant it is not. under all the circumstances, un- due and therefore '.-'@ .srf''i

The. convention adjourned at r o'clock to meet one year hence in Mont gomery.
 The resolution of thanks to Hitchcock was significant in that it did not mention the name of Postmaster General Meyer, which gives credence to the rumor that the Alabama republican delegation would be instructed 10 indorse Taft for the presidency. inasmuch as Hitchcock is freely mentioned as being manager for Taft in the southern states.
 Mr Cabell was sent to Birmingham as special representative of First Assist ant Postmaster General Hitchcock. His address was along the work. of the de- partment. The speaker said in part:

orinin Of Pommes souffles.

With reference to the fiftieth ami
versary of the first railway in France,
a French contemporary points out
that it was in connection with this
event that the virtues of pommes souf.
fes were discovered. A French chef
was travelling on the new line from
Paris to st. German, and was pre-
pairing in the train the banquet which
was to celebrate the opening. Just be-
fore arriving at st. German he threw
some potatoes in the boiling butter.
The train, however, was delayed, and
the potatoes had to be taken out
again. When the train restarted the
potatoes were once again put in the
boiling butter, and to every ones de-
light were found, on being taken out,
to be deliciously light and inflated.
The beauties of the pomme souf-
fle had been revealed.-London Globe.

Maple Lake.

The following poem by Fred p. Alter
of Paw Paw was brought to the True
Northerner Office some weeks ago We
have deferred the publication of the
same until the new lake was com pleted:
Our Lake.
Where winding Paw Paw swiftly flows
Ger spring fed sands, meath shading
trees,
Tween lofty banks that sloping rose
Twas thought to dam the stream with
ease;
Improve by toll grand natures plan,
And with the pent-up waters, make
Void Gods work, and by art Of man
Form DER meadows grave, a lake.
Where once We trod with dry shod feet,
To pluck the flowers of early spring,
No more their gentle nod we'll meet,
No smile to greeting lips they'll bring.
Beneath the waves they found their
grave,
In silence met their final doom,
Their only dirge, the lap OF wave,
When mans mads lake became their
tomb
Well miss, maybe, the water cress
That trimmed some ighboring ditch;
Its modest beauty no more may bless
The wanting hand-with penny Itch
That plucked it for its market worth,
Nor spared it on the rivers brink.
Caressing waters helped it's birth,
Beneath such waters let it sink.
The mirroring lake ne'er can cast
Reflection OF the forest kings;
BY woodsman's axe they fell at last;
The wave alone their death song sings.
But we'll not mourn. IT'S rature's rule
That tree and flower must decay.
But man, la Gods progressive school,
Is finding more of life each day.
Der marsh and mead and river stream
The gathering waters soon will rise,
And then - It's not poets dream
A lake OF beauty will greet our eyes
Its margin line, eight miles or more,
A circling drive on roads SO fine,
Where vernal beauty lines the shore
With landscape scenes almost divine.
Do we, who live aud daily see
What art and nature here have done
To make pure homes for 'you an me-"
Think of those who, like ours, have
none?
Are forced with all their city wealth,
In dust and smoke and crowded street
To breathe foul air, thus losing health,
How glad they'G be our lake to greet.
Let's anish little selfish aims
And tell the world, both far and near,
That here they II find what nature claims,
A place to rest for those held dear,
Where Father. smokin' in his easy chair
On porch or meath the trees may see
The glimmering lake, a jewel rare,
Himself, his wife. his children-free.

These rights were never transferred
formally to the Territory but stmpiy
by oral agreement. In all likelihood
the work of obtaining them win be
started at once. In the meantime the
Territory has been using only about
half the water from these private
rights and the remainder, which used
to flow through bitches, has been run

pany's larger bitches. Thus they have
have been getting the benefit of it Tor
the past eight years.
By the statute of adverse possession,
at the end Of ten years the title to this
part of the water rights OF the pri-
vate individuals would have become
vested in the sugar company while the
other part went to the Government.
Now, with its eyes opened to the sit
uation, the Government will go ahead
and make formal the oral agreements
under which it has been giving free
water to the holders of private water
rights and thus obtain title.
