CALIFORNIA SWAPS DRINKS.

Peaceful Wine Topper Of San Francisco

One Of the old San Francisco's pc.

arisen the mescal fiend.

FLAX TARIFF Is ILLEGAL.
Interstate Commerce Commission Rem
ders Decision.

Interstate Commerce Commission Rem.
ders Decision.
The termination of the battle wageA
by E. R. Bradley Of McHenry since
last fall, when he made complaint to
the interstate commerce commission
protesting against the rule of the
Northern Pacific railroad compelling
shippers to release leakage on fax
shipments or pay excess freight Of 20
per cent, terminated in the company
abandoning the rule after it had been
in effect some ten years.
The rule was an absolute violation
of the law governing interstate conf
merce. and the company decided tn
abandon it without a hearing. It is
estimated that several hundred thou.
sand dollars in freight has been col
lected illegally under this rule, and it
is now proposed to collect all the
claims, bunch them in one suit and
compel the company to refund the
money.
The interstate commerce laws gov
erning shipments is found in section
20 of the act to regulate commerce,
and is as follows:
"That any common carrier, railroad
or transportation company receiving
property for transportation from a
point in one state to point in an
other state shall issue receipt or
bill of lading therefor, and shall be
liable to the lawful holder thereof for
any loss, damage or injury to said
property caused by it or any common
carrier, railroad or transportation
company to which said property may
be delivered or over whose line or
lines such property may pass, and no
contract, receipt, rule or regulation
shall exempt such common carrier,
railroad or transportation company
from the liability here imposed"
Under this section the collection Of
$40 to $25 excess freight per car over
and above the regular tariff schedules,
which from this point to Minneapolis
and Duluth is 13 cents per 100 pounds,
is illegal, and every person in this
state having paid this excess freight
on any railroad in the state within
the last ten years is requested to com.
municate with E. R. Bradley at Val
ley City, N. D., giving dates and par
ticulars so that the total can be Sc
cured and the companies compelled to
refund the same. Mr.. Bradley made
the fight unaided and alone, and the
benefits that will accrue to the ship.

the part in the intricate mechanism

Mr.. J. Pieiffer, expert switch

Not only in the central office

Mr.. Anderson. The construction
of the lines has been under the
supervision of Mr.. J. w. Johnson,
telephone engineer of Trempeleau,
Wis: and the thoroughness with
which the work has been done at

set of poles and wires has been
built, the poles being set in the

The new telephone exchange,
now about completed, is an i'm
provement that Newport should be
proud of. 1t is doubtless true that
but few of our people understand
the thoroughness with which every
detail of it's construction has been
looked after, or the modern char
acter of its equipment. AS fast as
possible the phones from the old
exchange are being changed over
to the new; and soon the whole
office system will be in working
order.
Last winter Mr.. R. S. Anderson,
of Sherwood, n. d., a telephone
man of long and successful expert
ence, after having visited Newport
and surrounding country, and be-
ing impressed with the wondrous
possibilities Of growth that devel-
opments of our resources would
bring about. applied to the town
council for a franchise to erect and
operate a telephone exchange in
our town. The franchise granted,
Mr.. Anderson, realizing the expense
that two phone systems would be
to our people, purchased the local
exchange of the Pacific States Tele-
graph e Telephone Co.. However,
instead of rebuilding the obsolete
exchange he discarded it, and has
built for our town an entirely new
system, and in doing so has at a
cost of over $1,000 given Newport
the most modern and complete
telephone equipment that could be
procured. In fact, there are but
two as complete systems in the
smaller cities of the northwest.
The system is what is known as
the "central energy system" of the

six miles of poles were set, which
must be soon considerably increas-
ed, as the town grows and the nse
of the system is extended in all
directions.
The Pacific States long distance
lines are connected with the SWITCH
board, and the long distance lines
of the Interstate Co. also reach
the central office, but can be utilized
only at central A 24-hour service
will be given as soon as arrange
ments can be completed and all the
phones are connected with the new
system. OF the old system of the
Pacific States Co. nothing has been
used in the new exchange, the old
lines, instruments and everything
having been discarded.
The telephone is a necessity in
business and social intercourse of
the day. Mr. Anderson has given
Newport a telephone system such
as few cities in the Northwest can
boast of. His faith in the future of
our city will, we trust. be vindi-
Gated by rapid growth in bust
ness, and he should have the hearty
cooperation of all our people. The
central Office is located on Third
street, between Washington and
Spokane. and Mr.. Anderson ex-
tends an urgent invitation to all
who are interested in modern i'm
provements in telephony to give it
a visit.
