NEW LAW BLOCKS BUSINESS.
Small Railroad Stations Closed by
the Nine-Hour Clause.

WASHINGTON, Feb 21.-A prop
csition very serious to many thou
sands of people residing at and In
the vicinity of small railroad sta
lions throughout the country is pre-
sented to the interstate commerce
commission in an informal petition
in which the Wabash Railroad com
pany asks for an extension of time
for going into effect of the nine-hoIr
law, which applies to railroad en-
ployes who have the direction of
movements of trains.
It is declared in the petition that
unless the order of extension is made
either by the commission or by con-
gress the only alternative viii be the
closing of a large number of sta
tions on the Wabash railroad,
It is pointed out in the petition
that in order to comply with the
provisions of the law the comDany
would have to employ an additional
telegram onerator at each office

QUESTION OF MIXED WATER
RATES.

A decision just handed down in a
case in the superior court in Port
land concerning water rates where
the practice seems to be similar to
that established in Lewiston will be
of special interest to citizens here.
The contention made by the water
user was that where the meter had
been established for the service on
q water pipe the city could not come
in with an assessment On a fiat rate
for part of the period.
According to the Oregon decision,
when a meter is placed on water
pipe a meter rate must be charged,
and if at any time the consumer
uses no water or any amount less
than is allowed for under the fiat
rate, he cannot be compe' led to pay
only for the amount actually used as
indicated by the meter. If fiat rate
is charged it must be maintained for
all times, and it is unlawful for the
city to charge fat rate part of the
time, and when the amount used is
large, make a charge for the extra
amount used.
This is the first time the question
las been raised and it makes a
precedent in the matter of charging
for the distribution of water. Lew
iston is following similar practice
in establishing minimum rate
for all meters and charging an ex-
cess for for the use of water above
tion would follow The Oregon prece-
dent.
What is true of the water rate
could be true of electric lights and
gas where companies installing
them have established meters and
are maintaining meters and fiat
rates by charging minimum wheth-
err the light or gas is used or not
| The decision 81 in full keeping with
| what would seem the equities CT the
case and will no doubt be followed
IN other cases where a test is made
Another point raised and disposed
c. is that the installation of the
meters on some service pipes ant
none on others was a discrimination
that should be remedied, but the de
cision holds that there is no meri
in the contention and says is i
entirely competent for the city ad
ministration to attach meters u
some pipes and not to all, and thu
city ought not to be deprived of thu
revenues from any service pipe simp
ly because meters have not been in
stalled on all of them.

Onlv a Cold.

"Only a cold" is a common ex-
preston. And so the victim lets it
go on, day after day, red eyes, swol-
len features, lassiture. sleeplessness,
loss of appetite. the irritating cough.
In itself cold may be simply un-
comfortable. In its results it is often
fatal. Pneumonia, with its enor-
nous fatality; consumption, with its
deadly grip; bronchitis, asthma,
these and many ailments are often
the direct result of cold.
The patient may have had many
colds. They have resulted in moth
ing serious. But when the system
has become weakened by these re-
peated attacks, when the mucous
membranes are in chronic unheal-
thy condition, then it is these fatal
maladies assert themselves.
There is no greater mistake than
to neglect a cold. At its first ap-
pearance measures should be taken
to relieve it. At this season of the
year, when coughs and colds are
common, Peruna should be kept con-
stantly in the house. At the first
symptom this remedy should be TAX
en-. 1t will soothe the mucous mem
brbanes, relieve the irritation, and
the cold will gradually disappear.
That this has been the experience
of many is proven by the hundreds
of grateful letters in our files.

Farmington.-The new rate
granted by the railroad company,
which admits oats to the Eastern
market at a lower cost, has resulted
in a 10-car' DAD order from Chicago,
which is being filled by the Pacific
Coast Elevator company. The de-
mand in the Eastern states promises
a profitable market for the entire
crop of the Palouse country, and
with continuation of the present
rate it is probable the oat acreage
will be materially increased in some
sections.

Night had fallen. Up through the
streets of the capital, they strobe, the
man and woman. Easements were open
to the stars and the sea, but the people
were dull with grief. Martinique had lost
her frst-born, and Fort de France, the
gentle sister of Saint Pierre, was bowed
in the spirit of weeping. They had loved
and leaned on each other, this boy and
girl of the mother island.
Through the silent crowds Peter ano
Lara walked, a part of the silence, pass
ing the groves and towers, where the laws
of France are born again for the little
aliens; treading streets of darkness and
moaning, streets of light and tears. A
field of fire-lights shone ahead, their red
glow shining upon new canvas. This was
the little colony of Father Damien
brands plucked from the burning of Saint
Pierre They passed the edge OF the
bivouac. A woman sat nursing her BABE,
freight upon her face and breast, drowsy
little ones about her. Coffee and night
air and quavering lullabies; above all,
beautiful Josephine in marble, smiling
dreamily among the stars. 1t was the
most potent instant of Constable's life !;
some great joy or thrilling tragedy was
breathing upon his heart. He saw tear
upon the cheek of Lara. The voice OK
Father Damien came from the distance:
go thy way, eat thy bread with JOY,
and drink thy wine with merry heart ;
for God hath already accepted thy works.
Let thy garments be always white; and
let not thy head lack ointment. Live
joyfully with the wife whom thou lowest,
all the days of thy life"
There was a cry from behind. 1t was
from the lips of the woman with the babe
at her breast She had caught the gar
ments of Lara in her hands, and, half
kneeling, with her face toward Peter, she
exclaimed in a voice of joy
HE is come! He is Gomez
The silent camp uprose with shout OF
gladness. The remnant of Saint Pierre
pressed about the man and woman, cry
ing, laughing, kissing their hands. Con-
stable had not dreamed of such glorify-
ing gratitude; and yet he was humbled to
tears. These were so few, and Saint
Pierre so vast!

voice came to him, 1--WE are come to take
you out to our ship"
Not on the ship, but here-now the
old priest cried. "It is the moment OF

other, in the midst of their devoted. in
