New York, Aug. ga. 81 Stickney,
long president OF the Chicago, Great
Western, whose charge that tho rail
roads still are granting rebates. Just as
before the passage Of the Hepburn rate
law, is about to be investig gated by tho
Interstate commerce commission, OUT
lined yeste rday what he regards as the
proper method to pursue to do away
with the alleged abuses.
& The fayorite way of granting rebates
now, he said, is to allow claims for
ovel'charges, for damages presented BY
large shippers, which promptly are paid
by railroads to favored shippers.
Discrimination in rates Is also prac-
tised, he asserted, by putting obscure
rates in the rate schedules, The atten-
ton OF favored shippers, he said, was
called TO these rates
AS a remedy for rebate evils, he sug-
Sgested as the first essential the simpli-i
3flcatton of rates, and as means to this
end, the adoption of a uniform classifl-
cation. sAB

Logan. Aug 25.--There seems to
be a well organized move now In effect
| to close the saloons in Cache stake. At
the mass meeting called by the county
commissioners on June rs, a COM
mittee was appointed which made re-
communications to the commissioners
and although the board felt 1t could
not consistently grant all the requests
made by the committee vet it passed
an ordinance which will ultimately
drive all the saloons in the county
outside the incorporate cities. out OF
business. A few days ago the stake
presidency and high council of the
Cache stake met and discussed the
prohibition question. The members
were unanimous that Cache should
have prohibition but there were diff.
to- secure 1t, a. 4s gts 39.ts
Mant of the members thought the
only way to gain the end sought was
TO place in the field a prohibition or
citizens ticket while others thought
the same end could be obtained
tickets, feeling they could not sup
port but their own ticket either
Democratic or Republican. At the
meeting It was dcided. however. to
