WHAT'S WHAT TOLD
BY PR0UTY
INTERSTATE COMMERCE CON-
MISSIONER MAKES STATE
MENT AS TO RATES.

Spokane. oct. 3.-fntcrstnte Com
merce Commissioner PFouty yester-
day made statement at the hearing
OF the Spokane rate case that. 1t is
believed, indicates certain policies the
commission will pursue in. rate reg
ulation. Commissioner Pruuty said:
Il do not think the commission will
give much weight to the cfNct this
decision chat on Spokane ratesD will
have ON altering inhhing territory. 1t
does not matter a great deal 10 the
people of Spokane whether they pur-
chase their goods through Spokane
jnbhers from other points. but it does
concern them very much whether they
are compelled Ia pay more for those
commodities on account of the rates
charged.
1t appears plain that Spokane has
to pay more for things purchased here
ON account of the freight rates. 1t
may he possible that this is Justified
by the peculiar conditions. If not. the
commission will he justified in order
ing the rates reduced.
You gentlemen in spokane cannot
EXPECT the commission To order the
railroads t. give you as low rates on
some of these commodities as the
railroads gave you five years ago. The
railroads fixed these rates because
you men virtually compelled them to
do 81. The commission cannot ap-
preach the question in that manner.
but must establish such rates as will
be fair and equitable as between the
carriers, the consumers. and the pro-
ducers of the commodities carried. We
cannot. for instance. give you the
same rate from New York that we
give You from Chicago. Maybe the
representatives here for New York can
show us some reason why Ne should
do -. but there is hone that see

PLEA FOR BEAN
IS BEING MADE
INDIANS OBJECT TO CRUSADE
AGAINST MESCAL.
Religion-Has Worked Big
Reforms.
DIR. WYLIE TO INVESTIGATE

Since the government began its
campaign against the use of the mes
cal bean by the Indians, no tribe
has felt so much aggrleyed as the
Winnebagoes. who live in Thurston
county, Neb.. just across the Nilsson
ri river from Sioux City, and they
have been appealing to the Indian
commissioner and their congressman
j. p. Latta, for a repeal of the en-
barge. which has been laid against
the sale OF this narcotic, says the
Washington Times.
The Winnebagoes have made the
mescal bean a part of their religion
To them Il Is even portion OF
Christ's body. With the meseal bean
In their mouths, the Winnebagoes de-
clare they communicate directly with
God himself and they have been the
missionaries to other tribes, carrying
the gospel OF the bean. To them this
bean IL holy, and It is holy only to
the Indian. they declare. II has no
effect on the white man, for God
meant It for the Indian alone.
In a letter to Congressman j. p
Latta, Thomas Walker, a Winnebago
Of Decatur, Neb, explained the atti.
tude Of his tribe toward this bean as
follows:
I'VE have found out by actual ex
perience this mescal eating of the In
dian is really and truly religious. We
believe that God sent this medicine
to the Indian, and no one else, and
that He gave this medicine to the In.
dian for pure and righteousness sake
that the Indian should eat and be
right and wise toward God. There.
fore. since we have eat OF the medi-
cine we have improved a great deal
in improving our home, taking care
OF It. and being kind to one another
This we have never done before. This
reservation was in a terrible state

fighting, gambling and drunkenness
existed. Now everybody IL peaceful
and quiet. This year everybody

NEVER GO OUT.
Flames of a Buddhist Temple-Sicil-
ian Fire of Vengeance.

In Siam IL fire that not only lasts
for years, but has what have been
aptly termed "lineal descendants" IL
is to be found in a Buddhist temple
near Bangkok, where every fourth
year, at a certain period the priests
light a fresh fire in a big brazier.
This fame is kept alive for four years
and is in turn extinguished after sup
plying a brand TO ignite its successor
Inasmuch as this practice has OBJ
tanned for upward of two centuries
the Buddhist fire of Bangkok Is in a
sense the Oldest in the world.
Another long term fire is said TO
exist at Sarhad, Persia. This flame
is a symbol of religious feryor and it
is death to extinguish it; it has
burned for 20 years. In explanation
OF this curious rite 1t is explained
that the Persians, rigid Mohamme-
dams and regarding their former fire
worshlpplng faith with detestation,
nevertheless suffer the Sarhad flame
to continue to display their gratitude
for a service rendered a high official
of the Persian government many
years ago. At that time, ii Is said,
a pious Parsee, who had come to
trade at Sarhad was the happy means
of saving the grand vizier from as
.sassination. So the grateful shah of
that day ordered that the fire lighted
by the Parsee should be kept alive
There are some regions of the
earth, like those inhabited by the
Esquimaux, where the motive for re-
tanning fires for long periods lies in
the great difficulty of obtaining
means for lighting new ones. One
traveller reports seeing a IRE in Lap
land that had not been extinguished
during seven years. It had been car
ried from place to place in an old
ships bucket.
The keeping up OF fires for years
at time is said to be sometimes an
incident of a Sicilian vendetta. The
Iwronged individual when lighting his
fire of vengeance" IL said to take
solemn oath that it shall not be ex-
Itinguished until his thirst for revenge
shall have been satisfied by the death
