THE VALLEY OF THE NILE.

c. C. Goodwin. in Goodwin's
Weekly, draws the following
beautiful pen picture of Mr..
Roosevelt in the Valley of the
Nile, which is we'll worth a care.

These ought to be instructive
days to ex-President Roosevelt.
He is passing them in the valley
of the Nile. He is looking out
where civilization first. in the old
world. at least. began to build its
temples. The ruins of Memphis
will be before him; the sphinx
with stony eyes. will, look cut up
on him; pyramids will tower above
him, and the Nile will roll at his
feet.
There for ages. when all Eu
rope was in barbarism, when most
OF Asia was barbarous and a will
derness. there great empire was
builded up; there slaves built
those monuments to be the tombs
of kings who fought and struggled
all their lives for more power and
more glory, and then bui t those
awful monuments that their
graves might be secure for all
time. But those graves have been
riflee and their mumifed bodies
have been distributed among the
capitals of the earth, even that of
old Sesostris.

NO JURISDICTION IN
S|ME[TER RATE CASE
Commerce Commission Tells
Status in Anaconda Copper
Company Complaint.

WASHINGTON, Dec EN- an i'm
portant case decided by the interstate
commerce commission affecting smeiters
In the Rocky mountain region 10 the eX-
tent OF many thousands OF dollars an
nually, the commission holds that IL is
without jurisdiction over shipments or
rates for period OF more than TWO years
beyond That fixed by tho statute.
Complaint Was brought To- the commits
sion by the Anaconda Copper Mining
company OF Montana against the Erie
railroad and many other eastern carriers
OF the rates on coke from the West Nir-
ginia and Pennsylvania coke ovens To
the Montana smclters. At the time of
the complaint the different defendant
lines maintained two separate rates on
coke from the ovens 10 Chicago. Z rate
OF s2.35 per net ton ION coke for use In
blast furnaces >for smelling iron from
ores"
In its decision the commission further
holds tile rate is $2.8 per net ton ap-
plying OH coke was and Is lower rate
for. the services performed and that the
maintenance OF a lower rate on coke for
use in blast furnaces for smelling iron
from the ores, while improper. did not
subject the complalnants 10 undue dis
elimination and Is not the basis foI
awards OF damage in these cases"
Further, II is held that 'Smeltcrs OF
copper and of iron do not compete in any
proper or ordinary sense OF the term and
the compliments have suffered no dam
age
The complainant asked rcparation up
the two separate rates upon the same
commodity at the same time from the
ovens to Chicago was an undue dscrim-
ination.
