DIFFERENTIALS ON LUMBER
Commission Makes Ruling which
Affects Shipments from PacIae
Territory,

WASHINGTON, Sept. AIN the case OF
the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers
association, the st. Paul q Tacoma Lum-
Der company and numerous other lumber
concerns against the Northern Pacific and
nineteen other railroads, and also the case
OF the Southwest Washington Lumber Man
ufacturers' association against the North
western, Burlington and other roads, and
the Oregon & Washington Lumber Manu-
facturers' association. the Eastern and
Western Lumber company and nine other
lumber concerns against the Union Pacific.
Oregon Short Line and eight other rail-
roads, the Interstate Commerce commits
sion has authorized the railroads to estab-
lish differentials not exceeding 10 cents per
100 pounds above the rates on fir lumber
between the same points.
The action of the commission is consid-
cred OF considerable Importance to ship
pers in the territory involved. but it's exact
effect cannot be determined. II the rail-
roads carry out in good faith not only the
orders but the spirit OF the commission in
the matter the permission" now granted
will result in lowering the differentials in
SONS instances and in increasing the diff
ferentials in others.
There is less opportunity for the ~increas-
ing OF the differentials than reduction be-
cause there are but two points where no
differentials existed. Between Portland
and Salt Lake City, Utah, common points
the rates on all groups OF forest products
were the same prior to November /. 1907.
and the same would be the case as to rates
TO Montana and oregon points. From all
other north Pacific coast points TO eastern
destinations a d%ifferential on shingles, cedar
lumber and long tlmbers requiring two cars,
above the fir rates-was maintained. The
dlfferentisl from points on the Astoria 4
Columbia River railroad and from points
in the Willamette valley on shingles 20
Portland and Salt Lake City common points
was 8 cents per 100 pounds higher than the
rates between Portland and Salt Lake City
points.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 4-Hiram
Percy Maxlm's gun-silencing device re-
ceiYed it's final test today at the hands of
a board Of officers attached to the United
States army. The test was to determine
whether It would afford protection to
skirmishers or sharpshooters advancing on
an enemy. The test is said to have been
entirely successful.
Maxim took the san iirer In his automobile
to points in different directions from the
butts. Shots were fired al varying dis
tances, and in no instance was the board
able with unanlmity to tell the direction
OF the shots. Tn discharge was inaudible
even at the shortest distance. $50 yards. and
the officers were compelled to Judge the
direction from the whirr Of the bullet.

thing else just at this time. The feeling
is strong now that the primary vote on
senator will save them from having to
declare themselves on the senatorial cam
didates before the election and thus save
them from defeat. On tho question of
election for the short term the republicans
will caucus probably Monday and the
minority will stand by the results of the
caucus. II Cummins IL the selection of
the caucus the standpatters will have no
difficulty In their districts with their stand
pat supporters. for they will vote against
Cummins in the caucus as a matter of
course. They will gain some by pleasing
their Cummin constituents by voting for
Cummins If he gets the caucus nomina-
ton.
II is believed today that the legislature
will have no difficulty in adjourning sine
die on wednesday next.

The house remained in session till nooa
and then met again at 2 p, m. During
the forenoon the greater part of the time
was taken up by Hambleton Of Mahaska,
who talked for his resolution to adjourn
till November 3 to avoid electing a sena-
tor before the general election. and by
Miller OF Bremen, who talked for his reso-
luton to adjourn sine die. Miller finally
accepted Hambleton's as b substitute.
Swift of Shelby, a democrat, moved TO ad-
journ September 3 sine die as a substitute
for Hambleton's motion. This was de-
feated by a viva voee vote. after the pre-

Upon Royal Procession

THREE KILLED; MANY HURT
Shah Expected an Attempt and
Rode in Carriage Instead
Of Automobile.

TEHRAN, Persia, Feb. 2S-An at
tempt was made here this afternoon
to assassinate the Shah of Persia by
a bomb. His Majesty was not hurt.
Three outriders who were accom-
panying him were killed.
The Shah was on the way to a
nearby town where he intended to
pass few days.
The procession was traversing a
narrow street when two bombs were
hurled down at it from the roof of
house. One exploded in the air,
and the other struck the ground near
the shah's automobile. This missile
in exploding killed three outrtders,
wounded the chauffeur and a score
of bystanders and shattered the
vehicle.
The Shah, however, was not in the
automobile. Fearing that an attempt
would be made to kill him, the Shah
had taken the precaution to send a
motor car on ahead and ride himself
in carriage further in the rear OF
the procession.
No arrests have been made.
