Roads Can Give Rebates.
San Francisco, Aug. 14.-Peter F.
Dunno, attorney for the Southern Pa
cific railroad in its defense against the
charge of illegal rebating before the
Railroad commissioners, today insisted
strongly that common carrier could
not be guilty of unjust discrimination
unless the rate complained of was
made with ian evil intent" He held
further that the railroad was entirely
justified, the attorney general to the
contrary Notwithstanding, in making
better terms to large shippers than to
their small-fry rivals.
Mr.. Dunno also touched upon the
matter of competition and held, in OPP
position to the arguments of Messrs.
Benjamin and Cushing made the day
before, that it was part of company's
inherent right of contract to take com
petition into consideration in making
freight schedules.
He also argued that the railroad had
right to consider whether it had a
chance to carry the same material
again in the form of a more finished
product and, when there was such a
chance, to make a lower rate on the
raw material. If any or all of the cir
cumstances considered made it good
policy to carry freight for nothing, he
could see no provision in the law to
forbid it.

Killing of Japanese Traitor Caught I
Pekin the Cause.


Pekin the Cause.
Pekin, Aug. ID. THE killing in thi.
city early this month of japanese
army officer, supposed to be spy
and traitor, by Japanese soldiers at,
tached to the Pekin legation, will re
suit in the presentation by China of q
formal protest against the doing OF
police duty by legation guards outside
of the legation precincts.
The officer in question was Captain
kyhwata. He was in the artillery
branch of the Hiroshima division and
he was formerly an instructor in the
Chinese military college at Pao Ting
Flu. He was charged with selling Jap
anese military secrets to foreign
power and disappeared from Japan in
June.
On August he was discovered dis
guised as Chinaman, hiding near the
war Office in Pekin. This knowledge
was communicated to the legation
guards and a detachment was sent to
capture him. He resisted arrest,
whereupon the guard shot and wounded
the spy and he died two days later in
the hospital of the legation guard
M. Abe, the Japanese charge d af-
flares, has urged lack of time and the
Importance OF the prisoner in extenua-
ton of the action of the guard in not
notifying the Chinese authorities be-
fore arresting the captain. He ex-
plains further that the resistance of
the prisoner was unforeseen and that
his consequent shooting could not be
avoided.
The Chinese government is not sat
isfied with this explanation, and thinks
its authority has been ignored. The
incident has created a good deal of
feeling on both sides.

Boise The biggest irrigation enter
prise ever undertaken in this country
was launched few days ago when the
state land board applied for Federal
segregation under the Carey act of
400, 900 acres in Owyhee county, Idaho.
The project is financed by the Bull in
terests, composed of Pennsylvania cap
italists, which constructed the Twin
Falls irrigation works, giving the first
demonstration of the possibilities of
irrigation under the Carey act.
The new project will be known as
the Twin Falls-Bruneau tract. The
waters of the Snake and Bruneau rivers
will be diverted to the land under the
project at cost estimated at SIS, O0O.-
600.
This is the sixth and greatest of the
Twin Falls projects, and will make the
total area reclaimed under them more
than a million acres.

Lewiston--Beginning next week car
shipments of peaches will be made to
Eastern markets by the many commits
sion buyers who will be in the field to
handle the large peach crop to be gath
cred in Charleston and Snake river orch
ards. White Brothers & Crum will
handle the bulk of the crop, as they are
in position to handle peaches in large
quantities because of their superior
warehouse and packing facilities, but
several buyers will purchase the fruit
direct from the growers, who will en-
ploy packers and pickers.
Estimates on the peach crop vary
widely, but 400 cars is accepted as the
most accurate, although some growers
declare this is too conservative. The
three canneries will handle large
share of the peaches, as they are in
position to can all the surplus fruit.
1t is expected that direct car lot ship
ment ofp caches will be made to Chi
cago and possibly to New York, but
most of the fruit will be marketed in
Northwestern cities.
