Commercial interests Clash

Another clash between the San
francisco commercial interests and the
transcontinental railroads is imminent
pared to put into effect new schedule
OF westbound rates based on the ruling
or the Interstate commerce commission
In the Spokane case. While the new
schedule cuts the westbound tariff to
inland points always regarded as trfbu-
tary TO San Francisco 1t fails to make
a corresponding reduction in favor of
this city, and thereby destroys the
equilibrium which has been long main
tanned. Prompt action has been taken
In behalf Of the local shippers. Will
liam r. Wheeler, mana ger of the traffic
bureau of the merchants exchange,
wired yesterday to the interstate COM
merce commission asking that the new
schedule be held up until the coast
cities could be heard
COAST CITIES AFFECTED
San Francisco is not the only city
affected by the new schedule. It oper-
ates to the disadvantage of Portland,
Tacoma and Seattle as well. but in not
the same degree as against San Fran
cisco.
Early yesterday Wheeler received
telegram from Attorney Peel represent
ing the transportation committee of
the Portland chamber of commerce, sug-
costing cooperation.
The new schedule Will be presented
to the interstate commerce commission
in behalf of the Hartman line by j. G.
Stubs, the traffic director. and by J. G.
Woodwork, general traffic manager of
the Northern Pacific, in behalf of the
Hill lines
EFFECT OF SPOKANE DECISION
The Spokane decision is one of the
most important in railroad history. The
city of Spokane protested to the COM
mission against the rates charged to
that point from eastern cities. 1t was
shown that the practice had been to
make the Spokane rate the full tariff
10 Seattle plus the local back to Spo-
kane. The case was test for all
inland cities. those living between Chi
cago and the Missouri river in the east
and the Pacific coast on the west.
The commission decided that the
rates from the eastern points to Spo-
kane were too high and ordered the
ence this ruling extended to Salt Lake.
Reno and other inland points.
THRUST At COAST CITIES
With plan that has the appearance
of equity at first glance the Hill and
Hartman officials propose percentage
reduction to the inland points and the
same percentage of reduction between
the Pacific coast terminals and the in
land points The result. when studied
out reveals a heavy thrust at the coast
cities
The Spokane reduction will be Is %
per cent. That for Reno, and Salt
Lake. it is said. may be as high as IS
or so per cent, while the coast cities
have been subjected recently to raise
in the transcontinental rates.
The interstate commerce commission
has sent out word that it will hear the
case of the coast points in separate
invasfi ga tion

Chicago. ILL.,, Sept. 2S.-SeveraI APP

public disclose the fact that the Glover

ed the Minneapolis and st. Louis and
the Iowa Central roads. 1t is under
stood that the deal whereby the AL

By November 1, it is confidently
stated, the same combination will
have secured the Chesapeake and
Ohio and the Chicago, Cincinnati and
Louisville roads, making a combina-
ton with mileage of nearly 5000
miles. The acquisition of the two
roads was disclosed by the election of
7. P. Shonts to be president in place
of Edwin S. Hawley.. who controlled
these roads. Mr.. Hawley was made
chairman of the boards. and the fol-
lowing changes were made: F. H. Da-

charge of operation; Walter L. Ross,
vice president in charge of traffic; A

Six Ton Strong Box for Bank Com
missioner

Since Bank Commissioner Doney
lost some of his bank guaranty bonds
last week he has raised the long
"hol1er" for a safe, vault or other
receptacle wherein to plant such
documents. To quiet him and in
cidentally fill a real necessity, the
board of control has decided to give
him the six-ton burglar proof safe
in the vault in the board of control
office. In the early days when the
east wing was the whole state house,
this office was occupied by the state
treasurer, and the safe was the hid
ing place for state funds. To re-
move it from the vault, it becomes
necessary to chop away few yards
of wall, skid the massive junk heap
through a doorway with sixteenth
of an inch clearance, across the hall
and into the Office of the bank COM

John Dawson Thinks They Should Be

john Dawson. molder of destinies. and

He has observed that western Kansas
trys its coal from Colorado Joha
Dawson thinks seriously of starting a
campaign to make it otherwise.
Why, he asks. should western Kan
sas buy its coal from Colorado instead
OF from eastern Kansas? He doesn't
know. But he opines that something
should be done to keep western KAN
sas fuel money from sitting through
the state line into Colorado. Before
long he VIII begin at the ground-pro-
badly under it, by visiting the Kansas
coal district. He will go into the mines
and cost of production. and other in
trscate problems such as shrinkage.
waste in transit. dealers PROFITS, etc.
Mayhap he will do little laboratory
work on the side. to see how many
more heat units there are in a COB of
Rock Mountain than in a similar
amount of Pf-fitsburg coal. Having
soaked up all these problems, he will
add the result together and divide by
freight rates. Perhaps Also he NAV
make an educational campaign among
the benighted west-enders, and teach
them to buy Kansas coal.

Devils LAKE A
GROWING MARKET
GOOD DEMAND FOR ALL FARM
PRODUCTS AT METROPOLITAN
Prices.

Devils Lake, n. d. Dec. 24.-Thomas
Fahey, a prominent farmer of Hope
township came to Devils Lake yester-
day with a load of eggs and poultry
which he sold for $50. In the lot were
Ill dozen eggs which he sold to John
Haslam for 35 cents per dozen. Mr..
Fahey has a system for packing eggs
by which they may be kept a year
or more and cannot be detected from
fresh eggs. He says with care and
attention eggs can be kept in perfect
condition indefinitely. Although Mr..
Fahey lives about twenty miles from
Devils Lake he says he does nearly all
his trading here and that he finds IL
pays him to do so. Devils Lake affords
a good market for everything the farm
produces and farmers are commencing
to realize the benefits of having near
them a large city which consumes
their products. it has not been many
years since a few pounds of butter
and few dozen eggs would glut the
market, and farmers would have to
take what they could get and the price
ranged about Is cents for butter and
10 to II cents for eggs. AS Devils
Lakes population increases the market
grows better, land values go up, and
the farmer reaps the benefit in more
ways than one. The wise Ramsey
county farmer therefore is interested in
seeing Devils Lake grow.

BADLY INJURED in
POOL ROOM ROW
T. J. HUGHES OF MlNoT STRUCK
ON HEAD IN FRACAS IN
POOL HALL.

Minot. N. D., Dec. 24.-Cut over the
head and eyes, T. j. Hughes, a well
known resident of the city, who has
been working for the city for some
months, was carried out of Olander's
pool room this morning after a fracas
which took place during pool game.
Hughes story was incoherent and he
could not remember the name of the
man who struck the blow.
Officers Dougherty and Henneghan
made a careful examination of the
premises, but none of the inmates,
habitues or managers seemed able to
give any information regarding the
identity of the man who struck the
blow. Two men who had been playing
in the game were arrested and shortly
afterwards the police arrested Frank
vinney, who admits to striking Hughes.
One of the men who was in the
place at the time said: THE fight
started over nothing at all and I did
not think Hughes was badly hurt. One
of the managers took the cues out of
Winnings hand and he struck him with
his fist. The cut must have been made
when he struck the floor / don't know
what they started fighting over. 1t il
believed by the police that the fight
was frame up to get the money the
injured man had on him and the hesi-
laation on the part Of the men implicit
ed to tell Winnings name carries out
this idea.
