STATED IN BRIEF
TELEGRAPHIC CHRONICLE OF
STATE HAPPENINGS.
FARMERS WILL BENEFIT
Grain Rate Cut.-Reduction of 12a
Per Cent in Wheat Tariff
Ordered.

Olympia.-Grain rates on the
Northern Pacific, except its Wash
ington Central branch, are declared
unreasonable by the State Railroad
Commission, which has issued an or
der directing that a rate not ex-
ceeding s7b per cent of the rates
charged by that road June 80, 1909,
be hereafter in effect.
The Northern Pacific is command
ed to issue tariffs in accordance with
this order. The hearing as to the
Great Northern and as to the Wash
ington Central branch of the North
ern Pacific in this grain-rate case is
continued for further investigation.
Thousands Saved to Farmers.
Based upon last years grain move
ment, this reduction of 12A per cent
in rates would mean a loss to the
railroad in revenue of approximately
100000 No order is issued as to
the o. R. & N, but, in view of the
fact that the Northern Pacific terri
tory covered by these new rates is
largely competitive with the Oregon
road, the later line will probably be
forced to meet the cut.

TAX VALUES WILL STAND.
Majority of Commission Opposed to
Any Alteration.

Olympia.-With members of the
State Tax Commission, which raised
the o. r. & n. assessment $11 ,000,-
900 this year, representing three of
the five votes on the State Board
of Equalization, indications are there
will be no change in the original
figures of the assessment by the lat
ter Board.
In fact it is believed the equaliza-
ton board will adopt the assess
ments as turned in by the counties
to the commission instead of fol-
lowing the old policy of scaling
them up and down. This being true
it is believed that the Board of
Equalization will fix the assessment
this year of all property in the state
at about $S60,000,O00 as against
$74S,5S3,942 last year.
Personal property as returned by
the county boards this year aggre-
gates S131 ,056,419, an increase over
last year of $17,159,971, and the
railroad property as reported is
s577,977,7 1903, an increase of s74,-
S22,S82 over the county equalized
values of 1908.
The State Tax Commission in
creased the full value of railroads,
electric lines and telegraphs about
$50, 100000.

Oil Burner Burns

The new oil burner engine of the
Great Northern Railroad Company
caught fire in an unknown manner on
the tracks at the roundhouse at 11:15
Monday night after the regular trip
arriving at 10 p. m. in Anacortes. 1t
was saved from entire destruction by
the prompt action of the fire depart
n ent. The entire cab was burned of
and only the ironwork Of the car and
motors remained.
How the fire caught is not known.
The Waterman, who was engaged in
wiping a locomotive less than 100
yards away, did not even know the
machine was on fire until told by the
fremen, while the engineer could give
no explanation. The motor had been
put away for the night but few mo-
ments before a passerby noticed flames
and turned in the alarm.
Above and alongside the burning
motor was 5000 gallon tank of crude
oil from which the motors tanks were
filed each day, and ahead OF the ma
chine was hat-car on which another
filed tank rested. The fire was hot
one, the oil in the machines tanks
burning fercely, but plenty of water
kept the flames from reaching the two
storage tanks.
The damages are placed at $500.
It is not known if the motor will be
rebuilt and placed on the run again.
The motor car was not considered a
huge success for it has been laid up
for repairs much of the time. 1t is
said to have been one of the old en-
gines reconstructed into an oil burner.

Results from cheIan County Day

Owing to the advertisement that has
from the successful celebration
of Wenatchee Day at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacifc exposition and from the
winning of so many first prizes in the
apple contests, the Chelan county
booth in the Agricultural building is a
point OF great attraction for all visitors.
Information regarding the county gen
orally is sought every day by hundreds
of strangers, and those in charge of the
exhibit are kept busy answering ques-
tons. An interested visitor to the
Chelan county booth was D. B. Jones
of Mould Ridge, Kansas. He it is who
bought the largest apple that was put
on display at the Portland exposition.
It was Wenatchee apple and weighed
SO ounces. He paid IS for it to Mr..
Graham and Mr.. Campbell, and the
apple is still preserved in good condi-
ton. Mr.. Jones says he values it at
500. At the Chelan county booth he
was given the largest apple that Mr..
Lemuel L. McKittrick could find in
Wenatchee's exhibit. This Alaska
Yukon-Pacifc apple is large enough to
be a worthy companion of the Portland
exposition apple, and Mr.. Jones will
keep them both together. He de-
clmes his neighbors back in Kansas
can scarcely believe that his Portland
exposition apple is natural fruit, and he
says they will be amazed to see an
other like it.

The Donkey on the Stage.

ITS curious" said a theatrical man.
iger who had experienced many ups
3nd downs. how the stage develops
lealousies. | once had show on the
road in which it was necessary to
make use of a horse and a donkey.
We got the animals well trained for
their parts, and on the opening night
they gave a first class performance.
On the following night, however, we
were unable to get the donkey to move
out of the wings. Prince, the horse,
went on without any trouble whatever,
but Jack-that was the name of the
donkey-could neither be coaxed nor
driven out before the footlights. We
finally had to go on with the perform
ance with the donkey left out. Aftel
the show was over we got together
and tried to find out what had been
the matter Nobody could offer an ex-
PLANTATION until one of the stage hands
happened to pick up a program, which
showed that Princes name was print
ed in the same kind of type We used
for Jack. We got a new lot of pro-
grams the next day with the donkey's
name printed in type which was near
ly twice as big as that which we used
for the horse. After that we never
had the slightest trouble. Chicago

Parents can do much to make or
mar the school life of their children.
Nothing will spoil a child's future
career so readily as unfair criticism of a
teacher, and nothing will do more to
help make the teachers work success
than the knowledge that she has the
good will and cooperation of the
parents. Every sensible father and
mother knows this and acts accordingly.
