REFUND ORDERED.
Lumber Shippers to Get $165,OOO
from Railroads.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-By far the
largest specific allowance of repara-
ton ever ordered by the interstate
commerce commission was made to-
day when that body approved set
tlement agreement of s165,000 in
satisfaction of the claims on account
of unreasonable rates on lumber ship
ped from Southern mills, involving
about 1875 cases and II different rail-
roads of the South. These are said
to be about 'one-third of claims to the
same kind pending before the COM
mission.
They involve the 2-cent difference
per 100 pounds between the advanced
rates made effective in the summer
of 1903 and those in effect for num-
ber of years prior thereto, on ship
ments that moved between the time
of the advance and the summer o.
1907, wnen, after the final decision of
the United States supreme court sus-
tanning the decisions of the commits
sion after course of appeals, the
lower rates were restored.
The different roads are: Southern
railway, Atlantic Coast Line, Nash
vile, Chattanooga 4 st. Louis, Sea-
board Air Line, Central of Georgia,
Georgia Southern & Florida, Macon
& Birmingham, New Orleans & Texas,
Pacific, Mobile & Ohio, Illinois Cen
trail, Louisville & Nashville.
The settlement agreement was
reached between the petitioners and
the carriers on January II last, and
the commissions approval is with
the sproviso that the commission re-
serves the right to require, if neces-
sary, statement showing in detail
the distribution of this fund among
the several claimants.
The claims were heretofore decided
by the commission in it's reports by
Commissioner Clements in what are
known as the Yellow Pine Association
and Tiff cases.

PUBLIC MARKET
MAKING new
RECORD

One of the biggest days in the
history of the public market was
last Saturday. Along in the after
noon the place was so badly crowd
ed that the stall keepers found It
to serve all the pat
rons. One man sold nearly ton
|of italian prunes during the day,
and another a thousand pounds.
Apples of excellent quality were
sold by the tons.
The italian prunes are now al
most out of the market. The last
large shipments were disposed of
Saturday and hereafter there will
be very few plums of any kind on
hand.
The famous Oregon cider is due
to arrive today. 1t will probably
sell at 35c a gallon, retail.
Cantaloupes are growing very
scarce and viii probably be off the
market this week. Plenty OF espe-
|cially fine celery is coming in.

Street LIGHTS UP

Councilman Giblett will this
week introduce a resolution to
have the street illumination con-
tinued for the present. Commits
sioner McGregor says about So
600 was spent in producing this
magnificent street display, but
that about $4,000 of it is in per-
manent materials that can be re-
claimed, making the net cost only
about $4,000 to the city.
There has been some criticism
in the council because the $4,000
appropriated was exceeded. but
councilmen generally seem to feel
the display was worth the money.
c. w. Gill, who was before the
committee on finance this morn
ing when the matter was up, de-
clared the street illumination
was worth 500 a night to Ia

HOW TO GET FAT

The almost universal interest In

method of making thin people fat,

HAMILTON, Mont, Oct. IL
This town was founded by Marcus
DAILY. 1t is As miles from Mis-
soula in the heart of the Bitter
Root valley, where is located that
famous 2S,000-acre stock farm
which was the plaything of the
sometime partner of ex-senator
VIM. A. Clark of Butte, Mont.
Mr.. Daily has been dead nearly
ten years, and the town he
founded has grown to $500 inhab.
itants. The Daley ranch is still
the show piece of the valley. II
is kept up as a summer home by
Mrs. Daily, who spends most OF
her time in New York and abroad
The original home, quite pala-
tial affair, has just been razed to
the ground and the foundations
are in for a gorgeous 40-room sub
stitute.
The DAILY estate-for It is more
like a baronial estate than a ranch
is beautifully kept up. There
are seven superintendent living
in tasteful and comfortable
houses; each having charge of a
section of the land. A private
irrigation system supplies an
of water. The steam
heated indoor half-mile race track
is maintained, and one of the
sights pointed out to visitors is
the $4,000 stable built for the
exclusive use of Mr.. Days famous
horse Tammany - "Tammany's
palace" it is called.
During his life Mr.. DAILY en-
joyed large measure of popular
ity among the residents of the
valley, and his memory is still
held in high regard. He stood
for all there was of enterprise in
his lifetime, and all that has come
in the way of development in re-
cent years was outlined In the
plans and projects, which were
ended by his death.
1t was Marcus Daley who dis
covered the adaptabilfty of the
Bitter Root valley for fruit grow
ing under irrigation. In the de-
velopment of his estate he called
in the expert horticulturists of the
country, including those of the
state and the United States agri-
cultural departments, and had a
study made of the soil and eli
matte conditions, supplemented by
a survey of the bench lands at the
base of the Bitter Root mountains.
AS result OF the reports from
these experts he planned an enor-
nous reclamation work, involving
the construction of an irrigation
canal so miles In length to bring
the waters OF Como lake from q
spot hundreds of feet up In the
mountains, through an inverted
siphon under the Bitter Root
river, and across to the eastern
side of the valley, there to water
the 10000 acres of sage-covered
bench lands. ideal locations. as the
experts reported, for orchards.
