ease before the commission at
Olympia. This afternoon railroad
attorneys will attempt to show
that Seattle business men are get
ting lower rate on account o.
the terms of the franchise than
they have in that city.
In the arguments made by the
Tacoma Traffic association August
A 1t was shown that Tacoma bust
ness men were paying 30.6 per
cent more for switching than was
paid in Seattle.
Since that time J. e. Belcher,
secretary of the association, has
been active and he is now in a
position to show that in a certain
district covering a little over a
mile in Seattle the charges for
switching an $4,000 pound car is
$3.50, as compared with IS for
similar service in Tacoma. This
is matter that will probably be
brought out at an adjourned ses-
sion of the commission as the Ia
coma Traffic association will ask
leave to introduce new evidence
if the railroda companies are not
willing to grant the same terms
here as are granted in the Elliot
Bay city.

Give Girl Eyebrows
Cut From Her Skin

At st. Gregory's Hospital the
surgeons shook their heads and
declared she could not survive the
shock. But yesterday she had re-
covered sufficiently to undergo
the first of a series of skin graft
ing operations which it is hoped,
will enable her to ne out into the
world with no visible evidence of
her experience.
The entire upper part of Miss
|O'Rourke's skull was stripped to
the bone, the line being as sharp
as If it had been cut with razor.
In front this line extended across
the bridge of the nose and half
way down the upper eyelids. The
upper part of the cheeks and
ears were robbed of their skin
tissue and the back of the neck
an inch below the hair line was
barred.
For four days no attempt was
made to do more than stop grad
ually the oozing of blood from
the slowly closing arteries and
veins, hot congresses of bichlor-
ide of mercury being used for this
purpose.
DIR. ]. Edward Downey, house
surgeons at st. Gregory's, decided
the girl had regained her strength
sufficiently to stand the shock of
IN anaesthetic and the condition
If the skull was also favorable for
the first of the series of skin
yraftings. Then the operation
was begun by DR.. ]. Forbes, the
visiting surgeon, and DR.. Downey.
The latter said:
I'VE determined to begin with
he most difficult part of the work
irst, and this morning gave the
patient new eye brows, new eye
ids and skin covering half her
,orehead stretching back to the
lair line in front of the ears. For
he eyebrows we cut two curved
trips, as nearly correct in width
and curved shape as possible,
rom portions of the patients
body. For the other surfaces we
used strips cut from her thigh.
eff there are no setbacks, the
patients skull will have been en-
irely covered by Oct. 1, and in
mother six months there should
DE no signs of the scalping"

IF THE BABY CRIES
GET AN INJUNCTION

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The
crying of babe has kept George
w. Crater of No. 14S Sherman
avenue. Newark, without a wink
of sleep for a week, and yester-
day he appeared in the first crimi-
nal court to make a complaint.
Crater is father, so he knows
something about babies, but the
one next door to him, he says, has
the best noise-making apparatus
he ever heard. Crater works at
night at the South street station
of the Pennsylvania railroad.
Judge Hahn said he knew this
kind of babies. He said he could
not take a complaint and advised
him to get an Injunction.

MORE FRICTION

LEWISTON, Ida, Aug. 81
Increased friction between the for
estry bureau and the department
of the interior is expected to re-
suit from the action of officials of
the United States land office here
today in postponing action on al
lowing the state of Idaho to select
10000 acres of national forest
reserve in Nez Perez and Shes
hone counties. Opposition to the
selection of the forest lands by
the state was made by the local
forestry officials.
The state already has selected
the land and made surveys on por-
tions of it prior to its reservation
by the government. The state
recently filed upon the land and
this probably will cause added
complication of the case. The
land in question carries valuable
white pine.
