THE WOOL RATE CASE.

AS the result of the action that has
been started by the state railroad
commission the rates on wool from
eastern Oregon points to the east will
probably be lowered. The rates will
be lowered if the interstate commerce
commission stands by the position it
took in the Spokane rate case.
At this time the rate on grease
wool from Portland to the east is 81
per hundred pounds. There is no
rate out of Portland on secured wool.
Out of Pendleton the rate to the east
on grease wool is S1.72; out of The
Dalles the rate is s1.1S; from Elgin
$1.95. Other eastern Oregon points
have rates according to their distance
from Portland. On secured wool PEN
dleton has a rate of $3.50 and the same
rate also applies to Echo.
In its complaint the railroad COM
mission charges that in it's wool rates
the railroad company discriminates
against eastern Oregon points in IA
for of Portland, such discrimination
being a violation of the act of con-
gress regulating commerce.
In this case the main points involved
will be similar to those involved in the
Spokane rate case. The excuse of
the railroads for giving discriminatory
rates to coast cities is that they are
forced to do so by water competition.
But in the Spokane case this excuse
did not suffice and Spokane and other
inland points will get terminal rates
on many things. 1t now seems cer-
tain that the old terminal rate sys-
tenn, under which the coast cities pro-
fitted greatly at the direct expense of
inland points, is doomed to go. With
its going there should also come an
end TO discrimination in rates from
the west to the east on such products
as wool. To the casual observer it
looks like the state railroad sommis-
sion should have little difficulty in
winning the suit just started and If
the case is won the victory will mean
much to the woolgrowers of eastern
Oregon.

NEW TYPE OF LEADERSHIP.

One of the graduates of an agri-
the present secretary of agriculture,
Willet NJ Hays Of Minnesota. Iowa
Agricultural college gave him his
technical training. He is one OF a
group of leaders who is placing Amer
lean country life on a. new basis. The
young men now developing as teach
ers and research workers in our coll
leges. experiment stations and de-
partments of agriculture, and the
much larger numbers who are emerg-
ing from our agricultural schools are
taking the lead in conquering a new
earth. They add other grains to the
ear of wheat, and they cause to be
produced two blades of grass where
one grew before. The science which
these men are developing promises
nearly, II not quite, to double the
value of our farm products. And 1t
has been made plain that in two gen.
erations we must produce food and
raiment for 200,000,000 people where
we now feed and clothe less than
100, 100000.
Mr.. Hays had the good fortune to
have graduated and to have COM
pleted his graduate course-as asso-
ciate editor of an agricultural paper
just at the time congress arranged
for the establishment of the system
Of state experiment stations in 1888.
He was fortunate, too, that he was
chosen by the University of Minne-
sofa to work in its experiment sta
ton and college Of agriculture. Here
we're opened for him fields of re-
search to which he proved peculiarly
well adapted. He combines the tall
ents of the scientist, teacher and ad-
ministrator, and his investigations In
the improvement of crops by breed
ing. into farm management and into
the cost Of producing farm products,
and his constructive work in devising
methods Of teaching farm organiza-
ton as other scientific engineering
subjects are taught, have given him
righ rank as an economlst.-Ameri-
can Review Of Reviews for June.

A large touring car, containing
man and his wife, met hay wagon
fully loaded in a narrow road. The
woman declared that the farmer must
back out, but her husband contended
that she was UNREASONABLE.

so far" she said, "and don't intend
to move for anybody. He should have

The husband pointed out that this
was impossible, owing to an abrupt

Finally, the whole matter must be
fought out in the legislature, which
will receive and consider the COM
mittee's report. In both houses the
South Mississippians are outnumbered
and the issue doubtful But 1t seems
fairly plain that until an effort be
made, in good faith, to correct at least
the more glaring inequalities COM
planned of, the issue must continue
TO be one of the most important in
Mississippi politics. If no relief is

question will very likely figure prom
inently In the next gubernatorial

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t IS
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be TAX
en- out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
