RATE DECISION AFFECTS PENDLETON

Ii has been learned that the spec
ial rate reductions ordered for Spo'
kane by the interstate commerce
commission as the result of the two
years battle waged by the citizens
and business men of Spokane will
apply to inland cities similarly situat-
ed TO that city. As Pendleton is SIM
ilarly situated the rates will certain
~ apply to this city.
The following is a brief resume
of the things alleged by Spokane in
her fight and the decision which has
been rendered by the commission:
The Decision.
Spokane complained
First-That rates from eastern
destinations to Spokane were high
er than those to Seattle, a more dist
ant point.
Second-That rates to Spokane
were inherently unreasonable.
Upon the first point defendants
claimed water competition compelled
them to charge the rates in effect al
Seattle and therefore they might
charge a higher rate to Spokane
without violating the long and short
haul provision, or without discrimi-
nation, under the third section. The
commission sustained the claim of the
IL that 10 tha
Pacific coast terminals are controlled
by water competition and that high
er rates to interior points like Spo-
kane are not of necessity unlawful.
Upon the second point the COM
mission sustained the claim of the pc
tition and holds that rates from east
ern destinations to Spokane charged
at the present time are unjust and
unreasonable. 1t reduces class rates
from st. Paul to Spokane 16 2-S per
cent. and makes substantially the
same reductions from Chicago to Spo-
kane. Rates east of Chicago are not
dealt with.
Wins on Nearly all Commodities.
Nearly all the commodities to the
coast move under commodity rates,
and those were the principal subjects
of complaint upon the part of Spo'
kane. Rates from all points upon the
Missouri river to Seattle and othei
coast cities are the same, while rates
from the same points to Spokane are
usually considerable higher than to
Seattle. and increase as the point of
origin lies further east. Complainants
referred. as illustrative of unfair dis
elimination. to 32 articles. The COM
mission holds that it can only fix
rates upon the articles thus enumerat-
ed Complainants insisted that rates
upon these commodities to Seattle
ought not to be exceeded at Spokane.
The commission holds, with respect
to 81 of these articles. that the rates
from st. Paul to Spokane should not
be higher than the rates from st.
Paul to Seattle. With respect to five,
slightly higher rates to Spokane are
permitted.
Rates from Chicago to Spokane are

I was subpoenaed in his contest
case as a witness for the government.
Ny direct examination consumed
about twenty minutes of time, and the
cross examination by Judge Bean and
his attorneys consumed two whole
days. It is like the story of the fell
low who got hold of the bears tail
and couldn't let loose The examina-
ton of o. d. Teel, another witness
for the government, consumed an
other day, and l am informed there
are other witnesses to follow.
Some years ago Henry ]. Bean pur-
chased n section of n. p. r. r. land
al about s1.0O per acre, and filed on
a quarter section of vacant govern
ment land of a like desert and worth
less character. Some enterprising
men. of whose number Bean was not
one. built a great irrigation canal ac-
ross these lands, making it possible
to irrigate and reclaim about 1000
acres thereof, which is now reasonably
worth 800 per acre of $40,000.00.
The Judge says he paid somebody
$1,000. Who contributed the other
$4,000 of value? Manifestly, the
capital and labor of the men who
built the ditch. The trouble with
Judge Bean is that he wants the earth
and the rest of the solar system
thrown in.
| refrain from any discussion of the
pending litigation. The testimony
therein will speak for itself. How
ever, IL the Judge wishes to try the
matter out in the newspapers, I would
be pleased to contribute from my
store of information such material
as / and the other witnesses possess.
His treatment of the Butter Creek
Water company and his evasive at
titude throughout would doubtless
make interesting reading for his con-
stituents in this district. l have no
pecuniary interest in the matter what
ever. and | am not a party to the lit
igation. 1t may be the Judge is right
and II may be that his relations with
God are such as to justify him in
saying God knows it," but If such
be true, regret to confess that God
has not yet revealed his decision to
me, nor so far as l know, has He dis
closed this information to the attor-
neys for the U. S. government.

Editor East Oregonian:
Dear Sr:-Judge Bean In his
signed communication published in
your issue of March 80, relative to his
land contract, uses the following
words:
The question in dispute is be-
tween myself and Attorney Joe Hin
kle. and I am content to let those
who know us both draw their own
conclusions until the matter is finally
heard in the regular way"
This statement is misleading In
that It indicates some litigation
pending between Judge Bean and my
self which is not true in any sense
The United states has contested the
desert land entry of Henry j. Bean,
and Henry ]. Bean has sued the
Western Land & Irrigation Co., the
Hlnkle Ditch Co., and the Butter
Creek Water Co., to enforce the re-
cognition of his claim Of water right

BIG COMET COMING.
Tail May EnvelOp the Earth as it
Passes. No danger to Earth
is ticipatcd-AstrOnO-
mers Say Tails Are
Harmless.

The long expected Halley's comet,
after an absence of seventy-four
years, has been re-discovered within
the past fortnight by means of pho
Biography, and has been seen by at
least two astronomers. The comet
will come within 100000 miles OF
the earth on May Is, passing be-
tween the sun and this planet, and
may envelop the world with it's tail.
No danger need be feared from that
fact, however, since the tails of COM
cts are entirely harmless.
Although now barely visible in the
most powerful telescopes, it will
grow steadily brighter until, in the
spring of 1910, it should be more
brilliant than any comet that has
appeared in the last quarter of
century.
1t appears from the observations
that its nearest approach to the sun
will made on April IS, 1910, at a
distance of about 50,OOO,0O0 miles.
A fortnight later the comet passes
very close to the planet Venus, and
en- May IS, comes within 100000
miles of the earth, passing between
us and the sun. and possibly envelop-
ing the earth with its TAIL Not the
slightest apprehension of danger in
this connection need be felt, how
ever, since comets tails are entirely
harmless.

egg, for nearly all cooking purposes.
In boiling it may be necessary to
pierce the shell with a needle to pre-
vent cracking of the shell as the pre-
sentative seals the pores of the shell
and prevents the escape OF gases.
which is possible in the strictly fresh
egg. In frying and poaching, some
trouble may be found because the
whites may not whip up as firmly as
strictly fresh eggs, but the quality
as well as the firmness of the yolk
depends largely upon the condition
of the egg when packed. Eggs which
have firm whites and yolks when
packed usually give no trouble when
cooked For those purposes where
no objection is raised to broken
yolk, as in cakes, custards, and oni-
elettes, the preserved egg is fully the
equal of the strictly fresh article.
and may be used as a great saving
in cost.
If a white deposit is found upon
the eggs when removed from either
the water glass or lime water mix
ture, it may be readily removed by
holding the eggs under faucet or
pouring water over them.

A Close Call.

John Hovey met with a serious ac-
cident this week Tuesday while try
ing to fix the broken wire on his
windmill that pulls it out of gear
He was working inside the tower
near the top platform of the mill,
which is about fifty foot high. The
mill is geared mill and the rod be-
meath the platform in revolving
around caught his clothing. He was
thrown from his position and lodged
on a cross-bar about six feet below.
His clothing was completely stripped
from his body with the exception of
mis- shoes. Here he remained until
he was able to climb down the mill.
The entire scalp on the back of his
head was torn loose, only hanging
by a small piece at the top. His
hand was also split open between
two of his fingers and his body other
wise torn and bruised. He was luc-
ky in escaping with his life.-Ridge-

Dream Came True

Nashua has become a Goth century
Joseph. He dreamed few nights
ago that some one entered his poul
try yard and stole all the fine ducks
of which he had large flock. On
waking the next morning he hurried
down to the coops and % his amaze
ment found that someone actually
had taken all the ducks the night
before. By telephoning to all the
nearby towns he located the ducks
ut Nashua and also the man who had
delivered them to tie merchant. The
thief being caught paid him for the
stolen roperty.-Charles City Press.

Train Wrecked at Greene.

The east bound Cannon Ball, the
fast train over the Rock Island, was
wrecken near Greene, Iowa, Friday
morning, caused by a loose plank in
a street crossing, which, coming in
contact with the train, spread the
rails and wrecked the engine, mail
baggage, express cars and two
coaches, entirely destroying them,
killing one young man from Illinois
and seriously injuring the engineer
and fireman, who were taken to the

Cost of Preservation.

Three gallons of either mixture as
described above will preserve from
20 TO "a dozen eggs, depending upon
the size of the eggs anG the shape of
the containing vessel. One gallon of
the water glass as purchased will
make enough preservative to pre-
serve from Z ) 10 100 dozen eggs.
Galley MISREPRESENTATION of Eggs.
The cost of preservation by tie
water glass methods is less than one
cent per dozen eggs, not taking into
consideration the cost of the contain
er. and hy the lime water method
still cheaper. The water glass mix
ture should be used. however. when
ever the water glass may be secured

Packing the Eggs.

The eggs may be placed carefully
in the vessels small end down and
the solution of water glass or lime
water poured over them, or the YES
sells may be filled about one half full
with the liquid and the eggs care
fully placed in as gathered. The lat
ter method is preferable as it allows
of packing the eggs just as soon as
laid; also any eggs that may natur-
ally float may be removed as they
will not be held down by heavy eggs
above them. The liquid rises as the
eggs are put in, but at least two in
ches of preservative should be above
the eggs at all times. In the lime
water method a very little OF the
lime sediment should be added 10 in
sure a constantly saturated solution.
A thin, white crust appearing on a
lime water solution is due to the
formation OF calcium, carbonate COM
ing in contact with the air. This
will do no harm if there is little sedi-
ment present, and should be left UNI
touched as il will tend to prevent
further crust formation. Vessels

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. July 25.-Brealk-
ing away from the time-honored idea OF
purely congregational government, the
Baptists OF Pennsylvania have launched
movement looking to the placing Of
power in one governing body, TO be known
as the Pennsylvania Baptist General Con-
vention.
This movement begun by influential
Baptists in October. 1907. has. after over
coming numerous obstacles, taken tangi-
bic form in an application for a charter,
TO be made IN the Court OF Common Pleas,
No. 8. September 20.
This means a virtual revolution IN the
government OF the Baptist Church in this
State, and leaders in the movement feel
confident that # viii result I'm strengthen

The petition for a charter sets forth
that the object OF the general convention
Is 10 give expression to the interests OF
It's constituency upon matters OF denom-
national Importance, and OF general re-
ligious and moral interests; to develop
denominationai unity. and TO promote the
preaching Of the Gospel throughout the
state.
TO ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE.
To encourage and foster the young pco-
| pie OF the Baptist denomination in Chris
tian life and service, and to aid In ac-
