WIN THEIR CASE
Commission Rules That Railroads
Must Restore Old Rates.

Spokane and Pacific coast lumber
men won a great victory over the rail-
roads when the interstate commerce
commission at Washington, ID. c.,
handed down a decision which orders
the railroads to restore rates that
were in effect prior to November 1,
1907, on shipments from Coast points
to large part of the eastern markets.
In another decision the court orders
the railroads to make rates on lumber
shipped from the Spokane country
that will be lower than the Coast
rates.
The railroads last November ad-
vanced lumber rates from 20 to rs per
cent The lumbermen resisted the ad-
vance and most of them closed down
their mills in protest.

ELABORATE WEDDING

MISS REID MARRIED Mr.. WARD
Daughter of Whltelaw Reid, the Amer
lean Ambassador to England, and
Hon. ]. n. Ward, Member of King
Edwards Household, Form First Al
lance of Kind by Their Marriage.

When Miss Jean Reid, daughter of
Whitelaw Reid, the American ambas-
sador to England, went to the altar
of the chapel royal on the afternoon
of June 23 in London to be married
to Hon. John Hubert Ward, she wore,
aside from her engagement ring,
which is large ruby set in diamonds,
but three pieces of jewelry, and these
were all old fashioned bracelets. They
were the presents of King Edward,
Queen Alexandra and Mr. Ward, given
her on her wedding day. The brace
let sent by the king is a very hand
some piece and was selected by him
personally. 1t is composed of beau
tifully clear diamonds with a catseye
in the center for good luck, while on
the back is the kings monogram
'E. r. The queens gift is of the
same design, but instead of the cats
eye there is in the center large ruby
surrounded by diamonds.
Mr.. Warde's bracelet consists of a
circle of rubies alone. Mr.. Ward has
given his bride also a dressing case,
all the pieces of which are gold
mounted and bear the Dudley coat of
arms. The king and queen and all
the members of the royal family took
the greatest interest in the marriage
of Miss Reid, which was a unique
event in several respects. 1t is the
first time that the daughter of an
American ambassador has been mar
ried in London, and Miss Reid is the |
first American girl to form an alliance |
with a member of King Edwards |
For these reasons and be-
cause of the popularity enjoyed by |
