our readers remember that the chief points IN

presented BY President Moffeit, were. ti) that
the rate OF SIX cents ON oil from Whiting to East
ST. Louis had been issued to the STANDARD Oil
Compass, as the lawful rate by employees Of the
Alton, ~ that the iScert rate on file with the
interstate Commerce Commission was a class
and NOS commodity rate, never being intended
to apply to oil. (3) that oil was shipped in large
quantities between Whiting AID East ST. Louis
over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at six and
one-fourth cents per hundred pounds which
has been fled with lhe Interstate Commerce
Commission as the lawful rate and (4) that the
Recent rate on oil was entirely oui Of proper
ton to lawful rates on other commodities be-
tween these points OF 2 similar character. and Of
greater value such for example as hnscod oil
the lawful rate on which was eight cents Pres
ident Nloficit also stated that thousands Of tons
Of freight had been sent by other shippers be
tween these points under substantially the same
conditions rs governed the shipments Of the
Standard oil Company
This defence Of the Standard Oil Company
was widely quoted ard has undoubtedly e%crted
a powerful influence upon the public mind Nat

only claim to note is that II has been for many
years The point Of origin for this and similar
secret rates" The Commissioner admits in de-
scribing this rate that there was a note attached
stating that the rate could also be used from

statement OF the Commissioner Of Corporations

have been adding to the force gradual
ly since we have been Increasing the
work.
81 do not apprehend that we will
have any great trouble in getting plen-
ty of help as soon as we start up the
works again. There are several hun
dred in lower California who will come
over at once. There are also many
located at various points in Sonora,
who can be secured as soon as they
know there is employment for them.
81 have not been informed from the
east what date we win begin work at

BREAKING UP A WAsP's NEST.
Insects viii All Go to Their Death In
q jug of Hot Water.

Most people think of hornets and
products, but as fact the big vege-
table gardens in the southwestern
part of the city are very well sup
piled with BOTH" says a st. Louis
truck farmer.
r. "Of course at this season of the year
they give very little trouble, but in
the autumn, when fall blowing is in
progress, it is a very common thing
to turn up nest Of ground wasps,
and then there is generally runaway
in two directions, for the wasps are
ill-tempered when disturbed and at
tack both the farmer and his horse;
the latter takes one direction and the
farmer tracks in another.
ut is very easy matter to exter-
inmate the wasps before beginning to
plow, so when a gardener notices
there is nest of them anywhere on
his land he prepares for them before
he plows. He takes a common earth
enware jug half full of very hot water,
sets it down close to the mouth of
the wasps' nest, puts on pair of
gloves, covers his head and neck with
handkerchief under his hat. gives
the nest a poke with a long pole, and
runs. The angry wasps come out by
hundreds, and, seeing nothing I'M
usual but the jug. they attack it with
might and main, diving down through
the narrow neck, apparently under
the impression that their enemy Is
hidden inside
THE hot water kills them, but those
that are not Immediately drowned
keep up tremendous buzzing. which
seems to exasperate still further all
the wasps within hearing, and 1t looks
as though they can't get into the jug
fast enough. I have several times
taken more than thousand drowned
wasps cut Of the jug after q raid, for
so long as wasp is left . makes
for the mouth OF the ing, and the
whole nest can be exterminated in
this way. 1t is a queer illustration of
stupidity on the part of an otherwise
intelligent insect, but the trick never
fails"
