State Demurrage Law

LOS ANGELES, July 13.-At the
meeting of the state board of railroad
commissioners today it was agreed
among the members that the board
should ask the state attorney general
for a revision of his ruling by-which
the operation of the new state demur-
rage law was held not to be in the
hands of the state railroad commits
sion.
1t was shown in the hearing today
that demurrage of 81 per car may be
charged on interstate business, while
as much as Sc a car may be charged on
state business.
This was denominated as an unjust
discrimination, but members of the
board desire to adjust this difference
if the law will permit it,
Decision Far Off
The interstate commerce commission
has advised parties interested in the
intermediate point rate cases that 1t
will leave Washington, D. c., approx
mately October l and will stop \frst
at Spokane for a consideration of the
Spokane case, thence to Portland, San
Francisco and Reno, at which points
additional evidence will be taken
It would appear that this important
matter will not reach a decision for at
lease a year and half.
In the meantime neither carriers
nor shippers Will be able to determine
the rate basis that may be established
/ finally by the commission.
This situation places the business OF
the Pacific coast in an unsatisfactory
condition

The Richmond post office ranks
third in respect to receipts for the fis-

postoffices of other cities in the state,
approximately the same size as this
city. Lafayette is first, but its stand

receipts credited to It.

TO REMAIN UNTIL August

In order to become familiar with the
agricultural conditions of the Argen-
tine republic, James A. Carr, OF this
city, general manager OF the American
Seeding Machine company. has left for
Buenos Ayres. He was accompanied
by his wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Carr will
probably sail this week from New
York for Liverpool, England. From
that port they will sail directly TO
South America. They are not expect
ed to return to Richmond until August
The Hoosier Drill branch of the
American Seeding Machine company,
has been doing heavy business with
the great wheat raisers Of the Argen-
tine. At the present time the bulk OF
this company's export business is with
the argentine republic, and the same is
true of another local concern, the Gaar.
Scott & Company. Last week the Hoo
sier Drill shipped five carloads of ma
chinery to Uuenos Ayres.
Mr.. Carr intends to learn just what
demands for machinery are made by
the Argentine wheat raisers and will
thoroughly study all conditions, SO that
his company will be in a position TO
meet the heavy competition for this
great business. 1t is probable that y
branch of the company will be located
at BuenOS Ayres. Already the comma
ny has an agent located there.

FEcTIvE HERE.

"Let me have a box OF Fatimas, one
of Trophies and one of Naturals." and
the clerk in the cigar store filled the
order and handed the goods over the
counter. i,
Yesterday the cigarette purchaser
bought his coffin nails with a bravado
that has not been exhibited since the
defunct law went into effect And the
dealer sold them without looking about
to see who might have overheard the
order The cigarette fiend-the kind
that likes the ready made" best-is
now back in his glory. as he does not
have to whisper over the counter to
have his orders filled any more. The
proclamation of the governor Satur-
day, putting into effect the new stat.
utes, clad the smoker of pills" with
immunity.
Never Was Effective.
The cigarette law never has been ef-
fective in this city. There has not
been time when favored few"
could not buy all the supply they
wanted. OF course, the cigarettes were
kept on a back shelf or under the
counter. and not in the display cases.
but they were on hands just the same.
They could be bought by the little
pasteboard box or by the hundred. The
local dealers were not nearly SO bold iii
the sales as those of Indianapolis anG
other cities. There. the boxes were
kept in full view and sold upon de-
mand. the same as cigar or pack Of
tobacco.
For time the police of this city en-
deavored to enforce the law. There
were ar few prosecutions of men hav-
ing cigarette papers in their posses
sion. before the court held this was no
infringement and questioned the valid
fly of the general statute. A certain
professional man of this city was al
most a fiend on cigarettes. but he was
appointed a police commissioner and
thereupon notified his dealer he would
have to stop selling. The commissioner
had been former patron although the
law was in, effect. The dealer was
forced to subterfuge and the commits
sionier bought his cigarettes through
the mails.

Woman's World For January

1t is always overwhelmingly funny
to see a man wash dishes. Rex
Beach, who made a fortune from
his "The Spoilers, /" "The Barrier"
and "The Silver Hoard" and who
now receives upwards of SC word
for his writings, contributes the
leading article in the January Wo-
mans World, Chicago. The title
is Homeless Housekeeping" in
which Mr.. Beach graphically and
humorously describes how men kept
house in Alaska during the rush
for gold. Every woman will enjoy
reading Homeless Housekeeping"
and she will facetiously pass it
along to the men mem bers of her
househould.

HINTS FOR NEW YEARS DAY

Look not upon the wine-list when
it is read.
In conversation slide over the
weather chestnut and talk about
Kotch and his cure.
Don't ask how many calls the
young lady's had; you should
rather seek 10 discourage falsehood.
Don't enter the parlor with
muddy boots; you may be taken
for a carpet-cleaner anxious for
work.
Do not carry cane; some of the
ladies on whom you call may con-
slider one stick at call sufficient.
Have your boots nicely polished,
proving conclusively that if you
can't shine at one end you can at
the other.
Don't allow the young lady to
help you to any one thing on the
table more than twice; the third
time help yourself.
Be sure you have your own hat
and coat when leaving; this may
not be for your financial aggrand-
izement, but it's safer.

Chief of the Piutes.

Chief Winnemucca taught the Piutes
very different lessons from other In
dian chiefs; for example, to love peace
and make constant effort to keep it;
always to be kind one to another;
always to tell the truth, and never
to take for ones self what belonged
to another; to treat old people with
tender regard; to care for and help
the helpless; to be affectionate in
families and show real respect to
women, particularly to mothers; yet
he and his Piutes had no books, no
writing, no chairs, no furniture, al
most none of those common articles
that make our houses so comfortable.
