PANAMA RAILROAD MAY FIX
TRANSCONTNENTAL RATES

Washington, Feb. 2O.-It is stated
that leading officials of the administers
ton have plan by which they hope
to effect some reduction of the trans
continental rates now charged by the
trunk line railroads. This plan will
be disclosed at a meeting of the direct
ors OF the Panama Railroad company.
1t contemplates definite lowering OF
railroad rates across the isthmus of
Panama to such an extent as to com.
pei the all-rail routes across the Unit
ed States to meet the reduction. 1t
seems that the administration has been
informed that the present trunk line
rates are excessive and can we'll be
lowered without injury to the rail
roads The suggestion is credited to
the interstate commerce commission.
Until now, the Panama Railroad
company has maintained rates which
bear direct relation to those charged by
the transcontinental rail routes in this
country. The Panama rates we're raised
or lowered in direct proportion to the
fluctuations in the United States. For
some reason increases of rates in the
states effective January 1 did not re-
suit in proportionate' increase by the
Panama railroad The effect of this,
it is understood, was felt at once in an
increased traffic across the isthmus.
The administration is understood to
have strong support of big jobbers and
shippers of San Francisco, who prom
Use that if lower rates are offered by
the Panama railroad they will not only
offer large tonnage by that route, but
will make immediate shipments.
It will also be stated at that meeting
that far Western capital can readily be
enlisted in the establishment of steam
ships from Pacific coast ports to the
isthmus. The interest of President
elect Taft in the proposition to estab-
1ish a government line of steamships be-
tween San Francisco and Panama is
we'll known.

Mrs. Howe said. "Then for the first
time I saw the whole Of one sex gov
erned by the whole Of the other. This
seemed to me an intolerable tyranny. I
couldn't help but think that after we
had held the door open for the negro
we might at least have been allowed
to 60 in with him."
A scheme is being arranged for the
protection Of the manlike apes in the
German colonies OF equatorial Africa.
It is proposed in the first place that the
shooting Of these creatures should be
strictly prohibited and steps taken for
their protection. In connection with
this 1t is proposed to establish in the
Cameroons a special reserve for the
fauna of the equatorial forest generally
This reserve would include geological
tropical station, with gardens attached.
in which attention would be especially
directed to the protection and rearing
Of the anthropoid apes and other deni-
zens Of the forest zone. The scheme
would likewise include the study Of the
fresh water fauna Of the tropics gener-
ally as well as the investigation and

lishment of q marine geological station

deep impression his zeal and devotion
to the church wrought on the people.

John R. Bradley, the man who back ed the Cook polar discovery, has pro duced checks and other documents to prove that the entire expedition, in- cluding the cost of the schooner and the big game hurting trip which pre- ceded the actual journey to the pole, was less than $50,000. These docu- ments, which are still in MT. Brad leys possession, show how carefully the undertaking was planned. Cook had everything he needed, Bradley says, but nothing that~he did not need. He declares that many polar expedi- tions have been defeated in their aims by the very weight of unnecessary inn pediments. He insists that Cooks achievement exposes the folly of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to fit out a polar search Everything which Cook selected for the dash to the pole was as light as it could possibly be made. For in stance the stoves that pr. Cook used weighed only three pounds whereas Peary and other arctic explorers have carried cumbersome cooking outfits, some of the stoves weighing fifteen pounds. Bradley further points out the very common sense fact that the smaller the party the less food and equipment necessary, which he de- clares was the real secret of Dr. Cooks success.
