SETTLED ON BASIS
OF SEVENTY PER CENT
Claims Grew Out of an Advance of
Two Cents Hundred in Freight
Rates Made by the Railroads Sew
eral Years Ago.

AS the result of decision render
ed at Washington by Commissioner
Clements of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, lumbermen in Hatties-
burg and the territory Immediately
tributary to the city will receive some
thin more than s5O0,OO0.
This money comes in the form of
reparation from the railroads of the
South to the shippers of yellow pine
lumber, who were charged two cents
per hundred in excess of the freight
rate fixed by law.
1t is understood that the claims of
Hattiesburg lumbermen aggregate
$670,O00, and the J. J. Newman Lum-
ber Company Is the largest local claim
ant. On basis of 10 per cent, the set
tlement agreed upon by attorneys rep
resenting 125 cases and approved by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
this means that at least $500,OOO in
cold cash will be brought into Hatties-
burg trade circles within the next
few weeks.
The total claims from Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida,
and South Carolina amount to more
than 100000, but many of these
have been compromised from time to
time.
The Washington correspondent of
the New Orleans Times Democrat
r says:
"The long-drawnout controversy be-
tween the Southern railroads and the
shippers of yellow pine from the
Southern states was today settled SO
far as the greater number of the
claimants is concerned by the rail-
roads agreeing to pay $165,000 to be
distributed pro rata among them. Com
missioner Clements, who heard the re-
paration claims, approved the settle
4qent, which was then approved by the
other members of the commission, that
body, however, reserving the right to
require full statement as to the
amount paid to each shipper. That
reservation is made so as to guard
against payments which would amout
to rebates.
"The settlement made today effects
1876 cases, all of them represented by
Wimbish, Watkins & Ellis, but it is the
understanding that all the other claim
ants will accept settlement on the
same basis, namely, about 70 per cent
of the amount that would have been
due them under the Tiffe and Central
Yellow Pine Association cases. By ma
king the settlement the Numbermen
get their money right away and save
further expenses that would result
fsom prosecuting the matter through
all the forms.
"The settlement effects all the cases
except that of the Kaul Lumber Com
pany. 1t is in full satisfaction of the
advance Of two cents per hundred
made on the rates on lumber from
South Carolina. Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana,

Telephone and telegraph wires are
down and the roads are obstructed by
fallen trees.
Bassfield was struck by the storm
about midnight. The large frame build
ing occupied by the McLean-King Com
pany was lifted from its foundations
and smashed to fragments A por-
tion of the wreckage fell against the
walls of the drug store of DR.. W. W.
Applewhite, wrecking the building
and entailing a heavy loss to the stock
during the torential rain which fol-
lowed. Neither firm carried storm in
surmance and their losses are heavy.
An $500 soda fountain in DR.. Ap-
plewhite's store was completely ruin
ed. Several fine show cases suffered
the same fate.
Numerous houses were unroofed and
fences are blown down in all direc-
tions.

blow at government by injunction in a
decision against the Vandalia Coal

The right of any man to come into court

be inherent. The case arose from re-

His Life Work.

Last week TIE OASIS reproduced from "El lmparcial" of the City of Mexico, an article mentioning some of the work performed by the com mission sent out into the state of 0axaca by the National Institute of Geology, which commission in- cluded MT. Y. s. Bonillas of Nogales Sonora, and c. R. Vie land. The article was very inter- e8ting, but of necessity the limited space ot a newspaper story pre- cluded anything but scant mention of one or two details of the seasons as work performed by the commis- sion. To describe it all would fill book. Mention may be made from time to time of other details, and no doubt the National Insti- tute will publish the report of the commission, which cannot fail of sustained interest, for it will be filled with important and valuable facts. Among other items of inter- est 1t is learned that Messrs. Vie land and Bonillas demonstrated and measured in the state of Oaxa- ca column of the Jurassic period that exceeds 1900 meters in height -Jurassic fossils having been se- cured to prove the demonstration. The column thus proved is doubt less the most lofty on the American continent.
 In the study of geology Mexico offers a virgin field, as except through the researches of Alexan- der Von Humboldt but little at- tention had been given the subject, until recently. The National h. stitute of Geology, under patronage Of the general government, has taken up the great work offered in the virgin field presented, and will exploit the same intelligentlv. thoroughly and scientifically. It is in this splendid work that have been enlisted the talents of Mir. Y. 5. Bonillas, opening to the young gentleman a most fascinating career, which will be his life work, and wherein he will have a great opportunity. His advancement and success therein will be observed with no small degree of interest by the people of Arizona and Sonora, where he was born and reared.
