RAILROAD LOSES MONEY.
Error In Freight Rates Costs Milwau-
kee Tidy Sum.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14.-San
Francisco sugar shippers are jingling
s3l 900 and laughing merrily at the
expense of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound 'ailroad, whose error in
fixing q rate has resulted in Butte re.
ceiving enough sugar to sweeten all
Montana for six months to come. The
road which is the extension of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, erro.
neously included among the new rates
to Montana and common points from
Seattle a rate on sugar of IS cents, as
against the regular rate on all lines
of S1.13, applying to San Francisco
as we'll as Seattle.
San Francisco shippers we're quick
to discover the error and shipped 125
carloads of sugar into Butte. They
were rushing orders for more cars
when the railroad company, suspi.
cious of the heavy movement of sugar
to Montana, suddenly realized its
mistake and appealed to the interstate
commerce commission for permission
to cancel the new tariff.
The error cost the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & Puget Sound road and its hold
ing company $3.50 car, or in all,
$31 900, and gave the local shippers q
margin of from ~ to 47a cents on
which to compete with Philadelphia
sugar shippers in the Montana terri
tory. The Western Sugar Refinery
and the California.Hawaiian Refining
company are among the concerns that
profited by the mistake.

COOK PEARY CONTROVERSY

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 20.
Since the C~ook-Peary squabble be-
gar, there has been a lot of notice
taken of :.pemmican", and other food
stGffs whose names sound strange to
minds mostly acquainted with only
household and table d'hote menus.
One feature of the controversy has
been the charge that DR.. Cook did not
take sufficient supplies to support life
during the time he said he spent on
the polar ice.
In an interview today DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley, the governments chief food
expert, threw some interesting light on
these subjects. He declared that a
man could live on only one per cent
of his weight in dry food per day.

as to consist of one-fourth of protein,
one fourth of fat, and the remaining
one half of starch or sugar.

Il should say that the same ratio of

to Is pounds of dry o o or 60 of the

so pounds of food in a day would be a
wonder. But with dogs, however, it
is diff erent. They are accustomed to
consuming a large Quantity of food
at one time, and are so constituted
that that they could assimilate that
amount and store 1t by their tissues
taking on extra fat, for consump-
ton during the next two or three days.

No Discussion.
There was no discussion at last

council having evidently studied the
measure prior to it's Introduction. At
first blush many property owners are
of the opinion that the payment of
water rents quarterly will work a
hardship upon those who are not we'll
supplied with this worlds goods, but
the members of the water committee
hold that such a plan will make the
payment easier, and at the same time
viii greatly facilitate work in the wa
ter office. One section of the city
will be required to pay during one
month, and the opposite side the fol-
lowing month, though both for the
same quarter. By that manner the
registrar will not be compelled to
handle all accounts in one month as
is the case at the present time.

trial at the May term of the su.

Craig was convicted and given a

insanity, and the new trial was
granted on the ground that Judge
Huneke's instruction to the trial
Jury on the question of insanity
did not safeguard the rights of the
defendant.
The former trial lasted about 10
days and required the introduction
