PREACHER LOSES
HIS TEMPER AT
THE FANIL Y WE'LL
Wife Asks If He Has Broken the
Pitcher, When His Own Back
Is Almost Para
lyzed

"Talk about your eventful happens
ings," remarked the Angeleno, raising
his fevered brow from the hospital pill
low where he had cooked his tossing
brains for the past fortnight.
I'll tell you of one that will make
your heart stand still and then sink
into the unfathomable. 1t was sad
sad.
REV. Joseph A. Bowman was his.
name, and he lived in Venango county.
Pennsylvania. He was a quiet, good
natured kindly man. Why, one time
when / was nursing a good fat boil on
the back of my neck and this good man
also had one, so that he understood my
feelings he walked into my store just
as 1 was emptying my wrath out on
my two kid cousins who had run into
me and struck that pet boil of mine
right in its manly bosom. OF course,
was doing the best knew how, stand
ing on one foot and yelpin with tn
other. I couldn't whisper when / got
through blessin' 'em. Well, sir, when
he came in and caught me just winding
up my little vow of vengeance, he llfted
his hand tenderly to his own afflicted,
boil-warted neck, and said to me:
"'You have good cause, Jimmy; good
cause
81 always liked him after that. HUI
man, you know.
"Well, he was the gentlest man that
way. Never thought he'd lose his tenn
perl never thought it.
The Pitcher Goes TO the Well
"But one winters morning his wife
sent him out to the pump to get
pitcher of water. And the pitcher he
took with him was one of the heirlooms.
Come over in the Mayfiower or some
thing. Beautiful china, never USED ex-
cept on state occasions. Why she hap
pened to entrust 1t to him out on that
Ice covered pump platform on that
breezy February day I don't know. But
she did. He pumped her full to over
flowing, turned with that treasure in
his hand to come back to the house.
stepped on the smooth. icy platform OF
the pump, placed the other foot up IN
the air about eight feet, then hurried
up with the other one as fast as ne
could, chased himself half way round
in a circle and then decided to quilt
and sat down. He came all the way
back. He did. They thought 1t was an
earthquake. They could hear 1t half
way across the township. His wife
stuck her head out of the window. Saw
him sitting there, speechless ana wind
less, and with his manly bosom burning
with the blow. She asked him in a
shrill fee-male voice:
Have you broke the pitcher, Jo-
seph?'
Now, Joseph knew that pitcher was
a precious heirloom. He also knew that
he had Just slid past deaths door with
his life on the ice. And he resented his
wife's asking after the welfare of the
pitcher before she inquired regarding
his own good health. He turned LOOK
| of agony toward her as he clutched the
unscathed china pitcher in one hand
and nursed his burning bosom with the
other, crawled up to his feet and said;
He Lets Her Flicker
"'No, 1 haven't broke tn pitcher
But 1 will!'
"And he lifted his hand on high. as
the poet says. and smashed that pitcher
on the icy ground until the china heir
| loom looked the way he felt--all gone
to pieces. They never found anything
of It but the handle"

RESUME UTILITY
RATE HEARINGS
Light and Power Companies Will Have
Their Innings First, Followed
by Telephone Con.
Germs

The city council today will further
consider the rates of public utility COM
panies.
Last Monday the Pacific States Tele-
phone and Telegraph company baked
at the line of questioning when the
city's attorneys tried to show why Los
Angeles was asked to pay interest on
is per cent of $36,000,000, the new capt.
talization.
They had admitted that the Pacific
company was formed by murging a
$17, 900, 900 and a 100000 corporation,
the remainder, or $16,0O0,O00, represent
ing a bonus or water" Yet of this
big capitalization Los Angeles is ex-
pected to pay 10 per cent of everything
TO the head company, which Is really
the American Telephone company of
Boston, which controls 81 per cent.
Vice President e. C. Bradley and Au-
ditor r. e. Sherwin concluded, after
making these admissions, that they
better stop and get counsel, and the
city authorities granted a continuance.
City Auditor w. G. Mushet's force
has been going over the books OF the
utility companies in the limited time
allowed, and the discoveries were such
that on the face the corporations will
have hard time showing that they
should be encouraged in asking higher
rates for phones, light, power or gas.
Today the light and power companies
will be reached. The officials have an
inkling of what to expect in the line of
interrogation and will doubtless be
better prepared than the San Fran
cisco contingent representing the Sun
eet or Pacific company.
The light and power officials are sat-
isfied to let the rates remain, but a
lobby of citizens is expected in the
council chambers to ask that they be
reduced.
Most of the session today and Tues
day will be taken up with the utility
rate question. The rates as fixed will
go into effect in July.

Newport to Metaline by Phone

1t now appears certain that the Calls
pei and lower Pend Oreille valleys will
have telephone connection with New
port this year In fact they may have
more telephones than they know what
to do with, as both the Interstate and
Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph
Companies have announced their inten-
ton OF building to Metaline from New
port this year.
The Interstate Company is at the
present time engaged in building line
from Rathdrum to Newport, and the
next leg for the extension is to be put
into Metaline.
The valley country has long felt the
need of telephone connection with New
port. The development of the country
tributary to Newport, down the Pend
Oreille, will cause large sums of money
to be expended for public utilities dur
ing the next few wears.

LUMBERMEN WIN FIGHT
Interstate Commerce Commission
Decides in Their Favor
Benefit Interests Of This Section

The Interstate Commerce Commission
June 70 rendered its decisions in the
group OF important cases. involving
rates on lumber, shingles and other
forest products from Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho, Montana and British Co
lumbia to Eastern and Southern mar
kets. The advance OF 10 cents per 100
pounds on lumber shipped from the
Pacific Coast to points east is forbidden
in territory west Of the Missouri
river and in eastern territory
the advance is reduced 80 per
cent or more. The Inland Empire
is relieved from what the commission
terms "excessive and unreasonable
rates on lumber fixed by the railroads
last fall, and is given Il scale OF differ
entails more favorable than the roads
were willing to concede.
In all cases the commission stlpulates
that the existing advanced rates shall
be discontinued Ion or before August
l.. 19OS,' and DEGREES that the new
rates and orders, which 90 into effect on
that date, shall continue for two years
thereafter. On August -, 1910, the
railroads will be at liberty again to raise
their lumber rates, and. if such advance
is made, the lumbermen will find it
necessary to again appeal to the COM
mission for relief
In the potlatch case, Involving the
rate from the Inland Empire to points
east. the commission holds that the new
rates fixed by the Northern Pacific and
and other roads are excessive and should
be readiustet The railroads them
selves having admitted that this terri
tory is entitled to differentiaIs under
the coast rates, the commission pre-
scribes what these differentials shall be.
This territory is favored tn rates be-
cause the haul TO eastern markets Is 400
miles shorter than from the coast, much
Of that haul being over heavy mountain
grades. The differentials fixed by the
commission are based upon the rates
established in previous cases on ship
ments from Pacific coast points to the
east.
