COMMISSION DECIDES
CASE AGAINST OGDEN
Says That State Fair Rates Need
Not Be as Low as Con-
ference Rate.

The "Ogdcn passenger case' that
was argued before the interstate com
mercc commission in Ogden last sum
mer, and more recently in Salt Lake,
was decided in Washington, D. c.,
Thursday against Ogden and in favor
of the Oregon Short Line railroad. The
legal title of the case is the Weber
Club and Intcrmountain Fair assocla-
tion VS.. the Oregon Short Line and
others
Ogden contended before the commits
sion that the city should have the
same special passenger rate to its local
state fair as Salt Lake had TO its Nor"
mon conference. especially as the salt
Lake conference rate was lower than
the fair rate to Ogden, and also be.
cause Salt Lake held its state fair
while the lower conference rates wero
in effect, This actually made y lower
passenger rate to the Salt Lake talr
than TO the Ogden fair, and Ogden com
planned against this as being unjust
and illegal.
The Oregon Short Line replied that
the lower rate TO Salt Lake was due to
the Mormon conference in this city. re-
gardless of the holding of the Salt
Lake fair. md that if the Salt Lake
fair management chose to hold the far
during the Mormon conference, 1t was
no business of either the railroad, the
commission or of Ogden, Also the rail
road contended that if Ogden would get
IA Mormon conference, then Ogden
could have the same conference rate as
Salt Lake had, and could hold the Og-
den fair accordingly, Just as did Salt
Lake.
The interstate commerce commission
evidently has taken the same view Of
the case as the Oregon Short Line, as
Thursday 1t dismissed the case, thus
making the decision a victory for the
railroad 1t suggested, however, that
Il uniform rate of half fare be made
TO all fairs, and also TO the conference,
as being high enough In all cases, and
also as this would remove all cause of
complaint.
In other words, the commission
actually decided the case in favor of
the railroad, but suggested that the
railroad do as Ogden asked 1T to, al
though the commission had no power
10 compcl il 10 do so,

KANSAS FARMERS BUILD
INDEPENDENT RAILROAD

What is said to he the only ipdepen-
dent railroad in the United States ex-
lists in Barber county, Kansas, 1t is
ten miles long, does not owe y cent,
has 10 bond Issue, cost 100000 and
taps the wheat belt near Hardlner, a
village of seventy-five inhabitants,
about ten miles west of Kiowa-, The
road was built by the farmers in order
to haul wheat to Kiowa, whero con-
nections are made with the Santa Fe
and the Missouri Pacific,
These two main lines refused TO build
the feeder, so the farmers did il. Then
both the big roads wanted the very
profitable small one and have Offered

There is no known reason why such
thing could not be done, not only on
the same, but on a larger scale. by

BIGGEST LOCOMOTIVE IN
THE WORLD ON SANTA FE

The biggest locomotive in the
world' nowadays has but a short time
TO enjoy lis reputation. Last summer
the Southern Pacific brought through
Chicago, enroute to the mountain dlvl-
sions of the road in California and
Nevada. two monster freight engines.
each. with the tender, weighing 100000
pounds AT that time they were the
largest and most powerful ever con
strueted. This week the Santa Fe re-
ceiYed n passenger locomotive about the
same size as the Southern Pacific en-
gines, and also new freight engine.
weighing 100000 pounds, including the
tender.
The Santa Fe locomotives arc from
the Baldwin shops in Philadelphia, and
will be placed IN soIvice between
Needles, Cal. and Scligman, Ariz., as
soon as they have been inspected by
.hc Chicago officials Of the road.
The passenger engine is. lOo feet
long, including tender, and 15 feet q
inches high; while the freight is 1l2
The tenders have a capacity of 1000
gallons of oil and 10000 gallons of
wator. Each has eight pairs Of drive
wheels, those Of the freight engine
being sixty~thrce inches i'll diameter
and those of the passenger seventy
has boiler cighty-four inches In diam
eter, and the engine alone, without
tondcr, weighs 462. .450 pounds.
The use of engines of this size is ad
mitted to be an experiment at the pres
cnt time, but the experiments have
thus far proved successful on the
Southern Pacific, and railroad men cx
press no doubt that still larger loco
motives may yet be developed as road
beds arc rebuilt and track made strong
er. Both are intended to use oil a!

Breckenridge. Missouri. The Paul fami-
" is now planning reunion. which will

CRY ALL YOU CAN.
Learned Man Discovers That Tears
Have Antiseptic Value.

London. Aug. 12.-If the statement OF a
learned professor of Copenhagen should
prove to be correct the reproach conveyed
in the well-known words, Tears. idle
tears" can no longer be truthfully leveled
at lachrymation, and to cry will in future
not be looked upon as a mere exhibition
of feeling, but as an attempt to use ma
lures remedy medicinely.
Dr. Lindahl. Of Copenhagen. has dis
covered that tears are not only a RELIEF to
injured feelings. but they possess anti
septic qualities. They act upon microbes
as well as upon the heart They have a
deadly effect upon the bacill of certain
tumors but are less efficacious upon
bacteria of pneumonia.
The Copenhagen doctor has made
series of experiments, from which we are
told that tears to be effective must be
employed fresh and in n natural state.
Otherwise, they have no therapeutic eff
ect. The whole virtue of tears seems to
be in their sincerity. u,.,
