UNJUST FREI0HT RATES

ated Against.


How Spokane Territory IL Discrimin.
ated Against.
A recent experience CT the Spokane
Extract II Spice company illustrates
the injustice suffered BY the iobbIng
interests OF Spokane from unreason-
able freight rate discrimination.
We called upon our Portland
connection to ship us a carload OF
green coffee" said J. H. Featherston,
manager. The Portland house re-
piled that they could not fill the or
der from Portland. but had in transit
from New Orleans a carload OF coffee
which would pass through Spokane,
and advised US that we could have the
car switched on In Spokane and get
the coffee.
The rate the Portland house was
paying from New Orleans to Port
land by way of Spokane was 81 cents
hundred, but when we came to pay
the freight bill the Northern Pacific
demanded through rate OF 67 cents
plus the local rate from Portland to
Spokane OF 65 cents. In other words,
the local rate from Portland to spok-
ane, which by the most direct route
is only 400 miles, was substantially
the same as the through rate on the
long haul OF more than 1900 miles
from New Orleans TO Portland. Or.
again, they charged us 1872 for the
haul from New Orleans 70 Spokane,
whereas.if they had carried the same
car to it's original destination-Port-
land-they would have received only
81 cents a hundred.
This seems to us particularly un-
just in view of the fact that the rail-
roads are pretending to give the job
bers of Spokane rates which will
give the Spokane merchants 100
miles Of distributing territory. Ger
talnly they are not doing II with our
line OF goods. and therefore are not
keeping faith with the agreement
which they made at Chicago with the
committee sent there 10 negotiate
with them by the jobbers Of spok-
ane."

Mississippi, the democratic leader in
the house, has issued TO the press q
written statement defining the atti-
tude of the democratic party In the
house toward legislation urged by
President Roosevelt in his messages
to congress at the present session.
The statement describes what repub-
lican legislation the democrats will

what concessions they demand on the

ter throughout the remainder OF the
session. Mr.. Williams says:
''In so far as the things urged by
the president are good things. |
would like you to know that all he
has to do Is to deliver 90 or rs re-
publican house votes in favor Of
them.
These conjoined with the solid
democratic votes will put them
through"
Mr.. Williams notes the following
measures as the ones which will
command virtually the solid demo-
cratic vote within constitutional linn
its: The complete publication OF
campaign contributions; prohibition
Of child labor in the District OF Co
lumbia and the territories; an en-
ployers' liability law, drawn to con-
form to the recent declarations OF
the supreme court; federal liability

prohibit the issuance OF inJunctiona
without notice to the party enjolned:

RESCUE ENToMBED MINER
One Man Still Imprisoned In the
Mine.

One Man Still Imprisoned In the
Mine.
WARDNER, Idaho, March 17.-It
was shortly after midnight when the
rescuers, who had worked nine hours
without respite, came upon Rasmus
Rasmussen. one of the imprisoned
miners. He was penned in a narrow
passageway in an old drift, where he
had crawled after the cave-in caught
him. To complete the surprise OF the
rescuers. who expected to find the
two men together, Rasmussen was
found alone. Either through lack OF
air or from fright he was nearly
crazy when taken from the mine. He
talked only in rambling way, and
could give the rescuers no informa-
ton that would aid them in search
ing further for Paul Emmanuelson.
Discouraging as this was, the tired
men set to work again, and with
Manager Easton, Superintendent Nc
Dougal and Foreman Jones, are toll
ing harder than ever in the hope of
saving their companion. Some of the
workmen believe they have heard
signs of life from him, thought 1t is
regarded as doubtful whether he will
be reached in time to be saved One
hundred cars of earth have been re-
moved in the rescue work. Rasmus-
sen shows no signs of injury and his
condition is believed only of tenn
porary nature.
Must Drive Rescue Drift.
WARDNER, Idaho, March ~
This morning new rescue crew was
set at work at the mine, working with
the aid OF information given by the
rescued miner relative to the loca-
tion Of his partner.
II has been decided that the only
hope OF saving the remaining prison
or is to drive drift through 10 feet
OF solid earth. This work has been
started, but can not be completed be-
fore afternoon. There is still hope OF
reaching the entombed miner while
he is yet alive.
The rescued man says that In the
earlier part of the evening he heard
his partner rapping several times. but
that for two or three hours previous
to his rescue he heard no sound.

UNIVERSITY SUMMER SCHOOL.
pr. Craighead Discusses "True Great
 ness of the Republic"

University, June 20.-(Special.) J. Last night pr. Edwin Boone Craig head, president of Tulane university. concluded his engagement at the Sum mer school with strong talk on The True Greatness of the Republic" The speaker showed that a country Is not truly great because 1t has profited in a material way from its natural re- sources and it's inheritance of scien tific knowledge, or the vastness of its territory, but on account of its intel lectual powers and its moral strength. We are no greater than our ances- tors because we ride in palace cars where they rode in stage coaches; Greece, Italy and England of Shake speres time do not live with us be- cause of the extent of their territory or their ships, but because of their inner life In our own land, New Eng land and Virginia, in spite of the bar renness of their soil, are truly great for the strength their people have shown in every trial.
 The Summer school regrets that 1t has to give up Dr. Craighead. for his talks, though not strictly along edu- cational lines, have been very inter- esting and instructive. In his lectures on very wide range of subjects, hs showed himself to be man of high

 The joint meeting here next week of the Association of Alabama College presidents and the conferences Of high school teachers promise tS be of deep significance in Alabama's educational development. The purpose Of the gath ering is to discuss and possibly define the scope of both college ahd high school and to consider the advisability of having the college require the com pletion of four years high school course for admission to the freshmen class. It is a fact that ReaFly all or the colleges throughout tA@ country have this entrance standard, and Ala bama colleges should not paE behind in this respect, now that high schools are being established aff over the state.
 Yesterday afternoon Miss Greene Of the state department ef archives and history completed an interesting and stimulating series Of talks on school libraries.
