DIFFER In
REPORTS

Guthrie, OKLA, Dec. Before the
corporation commission yesterday
Santa Fe Expert Peabody submitted
under oath as true and correct a
formula statement showing results OF
a test made for the month Of Janu-
AIRY. 1909, in an effort to determine
the actual cost Of state business as
compared with interstate business in
Oklahoma, which shows TIE ccst OF
operating way freight trains on the
main line Of the Santa Fe. where the
traffic Is much greater than on the
branch roads, to be S2.05 per train
mile, as compared with $3.50 and SITS
per train mile on the branch lines,
where As and 27 per cent respectively
Of the freight traffic is state business.
as compared with per cent state
business on the main line.
According to Auditor Nay. of the
Rock Island, and Vice President Gray
and Auditor Alexander Douglas OF the
Frisco. the expense of handling state
buriness in Oklahoma is 90 per cent
more than the expense Of interstate
business, on the theory that it costs
much more to operate local or state
freight trains on branch lines on ac-
count Of the light traffic and poor
roadbed. which is directly opposite to
the testimony Of Expert Peabody.
Mr. Peabody was unable to explain
upon cross-examination why his test
showed that it costs $sl to earn 500
revenue in Oklahoma during the month
Of January last. while the records sub
mitted to the commission show cost
Of only s74.2l to earn S1OO revenue in
Oklahoma for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1909, and that L cost for the
same year only $59.ll to earn $500
revenue on the roads entire line He
was also unable 10 explain to the com
mission why he charged the expenses
Of the industrial and immigration bu-
reaus. foreign agencies, and other traf-
fic expenses, law expenses, salaries Of
general officers and expenses incident
thereto. as a terminal expense, while
he omitted the charge Of wages OF
trainmen, road engineers and damage
to property as a terminal expense.

duty has been implanted in her
Even during her serious illness in
1902 she wanted to deal with the most
pressing affairs of state; she insisted
so much that the doctors allowed her
TO sign few letters every day 50 as
to give their patient rest,
Again, in November last year. when
her health demanded all possible pre-
cautions, she travelled to The Hague
lying on a couch, going on foot from
the station to the palace, because for.
eign complications made it necessary
for the sovereign to remain in closer
touch with the government than she
could be at the Loo.
The queen has always taken a great
interest in children, and has many
ideas of her own regarding a suitable
upbringing and education for them.
During her yearly visit to Amsterdam
the queen always finds time for a
pleasant morning in the nursery at
Lady Roell's to play with the chill
dren, the Oldest boy of whom Is her
goGchild
At Christmas the queen distributes
presents to the children of her suite.
Then the ballroom presents a most
animating scene, the prince showing
some uf the youngsters how to blow
the trumpet or to wind their automat-
ic toys, and the queen wheels them
about in their little carts or dresses
and undresses the dolls for the little
girls
At the Loo overlooking the lake,
is the queens little house. where she
played at housekeeping when a child.
1t is a two-storied building, down.
stairs a kitchen and dinngroom
with French windows; upstairs two
bedrooms and sitting-room. There
the queen used to cook and to sew
her dolls garments.
Near it is a little house built by
the queens own hands, when she had
to learn the use Of trowel and mortar
for the future laying Of foundation
stones, and her own garden where she
planted and dug.
The queens favOri,e dog at this mo-
ment is a dachshund, who on his low
legs has often great difficulty in fol,
lowing his mistress. Then there is a
deer. who comes at the sound Of the
queens voice and in a corner near
the stables there IS the burial place
Of her first pony and the dog OF her
childhood. Swell, an Irish setter.

Maria was born August 81. 1880. and
