STATE COMMISSION
OIL RATES UPHELD

Washington. Aug. 1&--Tn decision
announced by the interstate commerce
commission today In the case OF the
Bartles Oil CO. against the Milwaukee.
rhe North Western and the Mime
apolis e. st. Louis roads, 1t Is ordered
that the fourth-cless Sare shall apply
on oil and gasoline in less than car
load lots between Minneapolis and
points In South Dakota. In making
this order the federal commission has
adopted the rulings v( the state COM
missions of Minnesota. Iowa. North
Dakota, south Dakota. Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Wis
consin.
Minneapolis Company Complains.
The Bartles Oil Co. with head
quarters in Minneapolis, receives the
illuminating oil and gasoline from the
Pennsylvania fields in carload lots
and distributes In less than carloads
to South Dakota points, and on these
smaller shipments have been charged
third class rates. In accordance with
western classification.
The oil company attacked this rate
on the ground that 1t was unreason-
able. The complainant pointed out
that the state commissions mentioned
had ordered the fourth-class rate put
into effect on such shipments.
In deciding the case, the interstate
commerce commission says
I'VE have said not infrequently that
this commission is not controlled by
rates established by state commits
sions unless they seem to use reason
able rates when applied to interstate
movements.
Rate SO Upheld.
'Tn several instances when dealing
with rates for interstate transporta.

tion OF state commissions. and We

Holdcroft. Va. Apul 3-Fishing
on the Chickahominy has not been
SO profitable this as in former years.
Shad have been running for more
than six weeks but only in small
quantities.
The Chickahominy is one of the
most important of all the small rivers
of Virginia being a source from
which many of the citizens of the
Peninsula counties earn livelihood.
It is navigable only for about thirty
miles, the head of navigation being
al Windsor Shades. It is said by
some TO have its source at Lakeside
Park near Richmond from whence
II winds its way to the Jumes seven
miles above jamestown Island. It's
commerce consists of wood and
lumber shipping which has proven
to DC a great source of revenue.
The Chickahominy is very crooked
and IN many places bars are formed
which are great menace 10 naviga-
tion. Although its banks are dot
ted with houses occupied by those
who follow fishing and trapping.
the island near Lanexa is said to be
the place where Capt. John Smith
was captured by the Indians. but OF
course such a statement cannot be
authenticated. Taken as a financial
proposition probably the Chicka-
hominy cannot be surpassed by any
river of IT'S size on the Atlantic sea-
board.
