oyERLooKs FREIGHT INCREASE.

Administration elation over the coup
Of Attorney General Wickersham in
enioinine the Western Trunk Line
freight rate increases of Tuesday, had
10 be modified bit yesterday by the
discovery that, for some reason, the
Department Of Justice had not made a
complete job OF its move. The tenn
porary injunction granted by the I. ).
Circuit Court as the announced prelude
to suits for conspiracy against % rail
roads involved in the incIasas 1t was
discovered Yesterday, covered only a
part of the rate advances leaving
others to 90 into effect yesterday.
The injunction applied only to tariff
4 1l5, mentioned in the bill filed be-
fore the Circuit Court by representa-
tiycs of the Department of Justice.
The tariffs filed practically simulta-
neously with the Interstate Commerce
Commission by the Western Trunk
Line Association, making advances IN
the rates in commodities between Chi
cago and Milwaukee and between Chi
cago and St. Paul, and between st.
Paul and Eastern destinations on wool,
being untouched, are in effect today.
While these tariffs are not so import
ant as those making general advances
in commodities between Missouri river
and Mississippi river transfers, they
nevertheless are Of Il considerable con-
Germ to shippers in Western Trunk
Line territory to Atlantic scab0ard
points. The increase in the freight
transportation of wool from St. Paul
points to New York and Boston, particu-
larry, is of immense interests to the
consignors, as it means fiat advance
of 10 cents hundred pounds. This in
crease applies to all western wool pass
ing through Minneapolis or ST. Paul
destined to Atlantic tidcwater dcstina-
tons
1t is not explained why the iniunc-
ton sought by the Department of Jus
ticc was not made applicable to all OF
the advances recently made by the
Western Trunk Line Association.
Meanwhile President Taft is con-
WINGED that Attorney General Wicker
sham displayed more than Government
al tact in getting his suit into court be-
fore the defendants had a chance to de-
stroy it.

Recent improvements.

The gradual spread of Alexandria to
the west and north is becoming more
noticeable all the time. Street improve
ments and sewage systems in those
sections are augmcnting the value OF
real estate. and in a few years many
new homes will have been erected.
Suburban towns have sprung up dur
ing the past decade and many new
buildings are being contemplated, while
others are in course of construction.
These new towns, while in Fairfax and
Alexandria counties, are in reality the
overflow OF this city. The new street
work on King street extended will give
q stimulus to building in the country
adjoining Alexandria on the west and
northwest.

The Ads Are Mighty
Interesting Today

Readers will find 1t profitable
to look them over carefully. The
ads today tell many interesting
things, both in the way of bar
gains and news of the new
things for fall and winter wear.
One of Spokane's leading stores
is remodeling it's building and
for this reason offers many
tempting bargains. Another Is
closing out at its present loca-
tion and offers many attractive
specials as consequence, while
still another has taken the big
stick to all summer goods and
offers bargains that will fairly
make the mouth of the thrifty
housewife water.
Read the ads carefully every
day. not alone at this time. for
money saving opportunities they
present, but also because they
are fairly teeming with interest
ing news about the wearing ap.
parel for the coming season.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Com.
pletion of the present census will
show population in the United
States of between 90,000,000 and
91,0O0,00O, according to the first
official statement made by Director
f. d. Durand of the census bureau,
published today. Adding to this the
probable population of the Philip.
pines doubtless will give a total of
100,000.000.
Although it was hoped that the
United States proper would reach
this total. calculations are far
enough advanced now to predict
with certainty that the number will
be smaller.
THE net gain from immigration, u
said Durand, during the last ten
years has not been as large as
might be supposed. For example
immigration from 1901 to 1907 into
the United States was only 6,2l9,
900 in round numbers"
