DEATH JUDGE MOONEY

The sudden and unfortunate death
of Judge W. j. Mooney of Langdon,
N. D., in the collision between the
tesmships Republic and Florida, off
the coast of Nantucket last week, has
caused much regret in this city, where
he was well-known, having been born
in Watretuwn where he grew to man.
hood and where he received his educa-
ton at Sacred Heart college, from
which institution he was graduated.
Judge Mooney was a most estimable
gentleman and exceedingly popular
with all who had the, privilege of an
acquaintance with him. 1t was the
good fortune of the writer to meet
Judge Mooney during his last visit,
about two years ago and formed a
very high opinion of him as a man
and citizen, and his sympathies 60 out
to the relatives in their great be-
reavement.

AFTER INSURANCE COMMITS
SIONER

Wh,n politicians fall out there is
generally something doing. Such
seems tt be the case in the matter of
tie stare insurance commissioner, who
dropped his deputy to make a place
for a man who had fallen over the
political breastworks and the political
teat had dropped out of his mouth.
The deputy, was mad and proceeded
to prefer charges against the commits
sloner whom he charged with retain
ing fees amounting to thousands of
dollars annually, which belonged to
the state. The charges were filed with
the gov ernor, who referred the same
to the attorney general of the state
who rendered an opinion that there
were good grounds fur an lnvestiga
tion. The state treasurer in a com
munication to the governor, makes the
statement that nune of the insurance
commissioners for the past ten years
or more, have ever turned any of the
fees into the state treasury, and if
such fees have been illegally withheld
he viii begin actions for their re-
covery. 1t has been known for many
years that the office of insurance com.
missioner was gold mine and that
every m3 n who held the Office retired
from Office in mighty comfortable
financial circumstances. The Law
seems to be explicit. that such fees
shall be turned into thu state treasury
each month, and if the law has been
disregarded and the fees put down ia
the jeans of the commissioners. they
should be made to disgorge.

unreasonableness of the proportional
rates on wool.
The commission declines to inter
fere at this time with the proportional
rates on livestock, because the same
have not been given thorough test
and are largely used as basis for
the computation of through interstate
rates. The commission will make no
finding on the reasonableness or un-
reasonableness of the proportional
rates on live stock for state ship
ment until the same have been
given more extended practical test.
The relief granted by the commits
sion applies to practically all freight
shipments into this county, and the
average reduction will be IL per cent
or more.
The new rates will almost wipe out
the difference on shipments to Wal
Iowa and Enterprise from jobbing
centers, but there will be a re1uc-
tion in the present rates to Wallowa
as well as to all the towns. The
total saving to the people of this
county will amo INT to thousands OF
dollars yearly.
The Enterprise Commercial club
brought. the complaint alone, and at
the hearing held by the state commits,
sion in this city on June Z, bore the
burden of the conflict alone, repre-
sentatives of the other towns coming

. sN ORDERED TO PUT CON-
rINuous DISTANCE TARIFF
INTO EFFECT HERE.
BIG SAVING TO PEOPLE
substantiaI Reduction Of Freight
Rates on All Goods Shipped
Into Wallowa
County.

Freieht rates on the Wallowa
county branch have been very materi-
allv reduced to all points from Palmer
Junction to Joseph, by an order Of
the state railroad commission as the
result of the complaint filed by the
Enterprise Commercial club. A copy
of the order has been received by
"a. C Miller, president OF the club.
The matter came on for final de.
termination by the commission on
July 16, and the order was entered
on July 23, and the new rate will go
into effect 20 days after the railroad
company has been served with a
notice, or probably about August II.
The order requires the o. R. & N.
railway to apply continuous distance
rates to shipments to or from its
stations from Fa.mer Junction to
Joseph. inclusive. The commission
finds that the proportional rates now
in force are unjust and unreason'
able and unjustly discriminating in
application. The new ruling is limit
ed, however, to commodities that
take class rates.
The commission finds that the pro
portional rates for transportation ol
wool, complained of, are used almost
entirely as basis for the computa
tion of through interstate rates and
the commission therefore expresses nj
opinion as to the reasonableness OF
