STATE COURTS MAY COMPEL.
RAILROADS TO PERFORM DUTY

A state court may compel railroad
to perform it's duty as a common car
r1er and desist from discrimination
against any of it's patrons, according
to decision by the federal supreme
court in the case of the Missouri Pa
cific Railroad Company against the
Larabee Flour Mills Company, the ac-
ton OF the supreme court of Kansas
to that effect being affirmed.
The mill company had dispute with
the Missouri Valley Car Service and
Storage Association over a bill for de-
murrage which the former refused to
pay, contending that the delay was due
TO the railroad. The latter, at the re-
quest OF the association, discontinued
It's previous practice of taking loaded
cars from the spur track of the mill.
The mill company applied to the SUI
preme court of Kansas for relief, and
That court ordered the railroad to re-
sumo the transfer of cars as before.
The railroad appealed.

TO INCREASE DEER AND
SAVE LIVES OF HUNTERS

Tacoma, Jan. 23.-Chief Deputy
Marshal Frank L. Crosby is fathering
a bill which he believes. if passed by
the legislature. will not only make
deer plentiful in the forests OF West
ern Washington, but will also prove
life saver in preventing men from be-
ing shot for deer by excitable sports
men. Crosby says the law mas been
tried in British Columbia and has
proved highly successful, accidents
there of the kind mentioned being
scarcely ever heard of and deer
Astounding. The chief feature OF the
bill, which is now being framed by
Marshall X. Smell, an attorney, who is
an enthusiastic nimrod, is the making
of the killing of does, fawns and any
buck deer whose horns do not measure
four inches in length crime.
Crosby says that if hunters have to
look twice at the deer to be certain
of it's having horns before firing, there
is hardly a chance in million of a
man being mistaken for deer. Mem
bers of the Pierce County Game Pro
tectiye Association favor the measure

ALASKA YIELDS ONE-FIFTH
TOTAL GOLD OF COUNTRY

Alaska produced over one-fifth of
the gold of the United States for the
calendar year just ended, according to
a preliminary estimate made by Frank
A. Leach, director of the mint. Colo
RADIO alone stands ahead of Alaska as
a gold producer, that state having per-
feet railway and wagon road connec-
ton with it's principal mines and min
ing districts, and fully three times as
many persons. are engaged in mining
as in Alaska. OF total yield in the
United States of $96,31 300, Alaska
produced $2O,930,7S4.
The total gold production of the
world is estimated by the Mining and
Scientific Press as 1927, 100000, an in
crease of 16,5O0,OOO, due mainly to the
output of South Africa, which the pre-
liminary estimates gives as production
of $144,675,000. The United States
holds second place in the world, with
an increase for the year of $5,878, 200.
Alaska, with it's labor troubles and
long period of dryness, was hit harder
than any other country in the damper
put on production.

Seattle, Jan. 23.-This move has
long been anticipated by local rail-
road men, who also say that the great
est freight haul in the world will fol-
low this passenger service. 1t is stat
ed by railroad men that the cotton
and other products which come from
the South for use in the Orient and
which have been increasing in tonnage
with the years, have been looked upon
as being some of the greatest features
of long hauls in the United States and
are expected to increase more rapidly
with time. It is the regular cotton
haul north and the lumber haul south
that has caused such activity in I'm
ion Pacific movements toward Puget
sound, the Hartman lines having
close connections and an almost direct
line from the gulf. 1t is for the pur-
pose of having a return haul that the
Union Pacific is anxious to get into
the timber of the Grays Harbor coun-
try, when it will seek the long haul
of staples.
The Trinity and Brazos Valley and
Fort Worth and Denver City lines pass
through the heart of the cotton belt
and have an outlet at Galveston. The
cotton haul from Texas to Seattle is
approximately $500 miles, the longest
that any one road or line can make.

JUDGE GORDON ARRESTED
ON EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGE

Judge M. J. Gordon was arrested at
Tacoma last week on a warrant from
the Spokane county superior court,
charged with embezzlement. He fur
nished a $4,000 bond and was given
his liberty. He will leave for Spo-
kane to arrange for his appearance in
court.
That Judge Gordon was expecting
arrest was evidenced from the fact
that his bond for release was already
prepared, and as soon as the warrant
was served upon him he produced his
bond.
The specific charge upon which Cor
don was arrested was for embezzling
$4,000 in the case of Sparrow against
the Great Northern railway, a personal
injury suit. Judgment was given for
the amount against the Great North
ern in favor of Sparrow and a draft
was drawn on the Great Northern nv
Gordon and indorsed by Nuzum and
Nuzum, attorneys for Sparrow. and
cashed by Gordon. At the same time
that Gordon cashed the draft, Spar
row delivered to Gordon's ATTORNEYS a
stipulation that the $4,000 be paid be-
fore August 81, 1908. Before that date
Gordon's connection with the Great
Northern ceased, and when the stip-
ulation was filed in the federal court
L. Z. Gilman, counsel for the Great
Northern, who succeeded Gordon, paid
the money.

PAY OF JUDGES RAISED
IN BILL BEFORE SENATE

Washington, D. c., Jan. pa de-
bate on the propriety of increasing
salaries of federal circuit judges con-
sumed nearly the entire time of the
senate, with the result that the COM
pensation of the twenty-nine circuit
judges was increased from $1,000 to
$4,000 and that of the four district
judges from $4,000 to $4,000.
Senator Borah, of Idaho. offered
amendments reducing the increase of
salaries recommended by the commit
tee on appropriations, declared that
the action of the senate in increasing
the salary of the president to $1OO. 900
was in violation of the spirit of the
constitution and would never have
been taken before or during the re.
cent political campaign During the
discussion Senator Bailey said that as
a rule the president went to the cor
porations for recommendations for the
appointment of federal judges.
Senator Tillman insinuated that
some federal judges were on the pay
roll of corporations. His remarks
called forth denunciations that such
charges should not be made without
specifically naming the Judge referred
to.

STATE APPLE GROWERS
OPPOSE PORTER MEASURE

DAYTON. Wash, Jan. 23.-J. l.. Du-
mas, president of the State Horticui-
tural Society, is now en- route 1or
Washington, D. C. Mr.. Dumas goes TO
Washington directly in the interest OF
the fruit growers of this state, whose
commercial supremacy as apple pro-
ducers is threatened by the passage OF
the Porter apple package bill Tor IN
terstate and foreign shipments.
The Porter bill is promoted by the
International Apple Growers Assocla-
tion and the New York Horticultural
Society, and was conceived for the pur-
nose of regulating the size OF apple
barrels and apple boxes. Mr.. dumas
said before leaving:
1.-THE law proposes to compel the
fruit growers to use larger DoAes'
Eastern growers ship entirely IN par
rels. and as a consequence the passage
of the bill will not handicap them.
With the Northwest fruit growers IL is
different. If we are compelled 10 use
a larger box our system OF grading anu
packing will be destroyed.
"The box now in use, which was
adopted by the Northwest Fruit Grow
ers' Association fifteen years ago, is
best adapted to the size OF apples
grown in the Northwest, and we have
built up commercial pack which has
given us a reputation of putting up
the finest pack in the world. AS re-
suit. apples grown in the Northwest
have sold for the highest prices, IN
competition with the products of other
sections.
"The fruit growers of the Northwest
feel that inasmuch as they are the only
growers that pack in boxes they should
be heard from before an effort is made
to pass the Porter bill.
Another feature of the bill objec'
tionable to the Northwest producers is
it's provision for grading apples. 1t
provides for grading apples so that
first grade fruit shall not contain more
than 10 per cent of wormy or defect
i've apples. We Western growers are
of the opinion that first grade apples
should be only perfect fruit"
Mr.. Dumas will also interview all
the large dealers in Western box ap
pies in Chicago and New York. III
will be my mission he said, ito find
out through direct interviews who OF
the Eastern dealers are friends of the
Northwest fruit growers"
1t is generally understood among
Western fruit men that most of the
New York and Chicago dealers are in
favor of the Porter bill.
Assurance has been given by Oregon
growers that they are in favor of send
ing representative to Washington.
