Minneapolis. Mimi. April 5.--"Tht
railroads must and win increase theil
freight rates. on one side the states
and the general government are dictat.
ing to us and on the other side are the
unions, practically debating their
wages. The only recourse the railroads
have is an increase I'm rates; the more

Edmund Pennington. president OF
the 500 line, thus declared himself to-
day on his return from three weeks
vacation spent at French Lick Springs
and in New York.
Have arrangements been made for
the 500 to raise rates in the near fu :
ture?" he was asked.
mo; no date has been set and the
500 line could not take such a step
independently of other road. There
will be a general advance in rates. in
keeping with the increased cost OF
operation and the curtailed receipts.
"The same rules as TO wages result
ing. from strike settlements and the
fixing OF rates and traffic conditions
by state and national authorities are
made to apply to all railroads, regard
less of wether one is in better con-
dition to conform to them and pay
dividends than is another. The pursu- :
ance Of this policy will mean that some
railroads will be forced into bank
ruptcy. The public does not want
bankrupt railroads, but 1t will surely
come"

.BRAVED DANGERS
OF HOLY THIBET

Stories Of adventure in strang lands
are of interest alike to the traveller anC
to the stay -at-home, and DR.. Sver
Hedin. the famous Swedish explorer
who recently returned from Asia, has
many to recount. says London Answers
Since he left Stockholm for the Far
East, over three years ago, he has
spent no less than twenty five months
in the hitherto unexplored regions OF
Thtbet, and his experiences have, NAT
urally enough been OF a singular char
acter.
Near the source OF the River Indus
DIR. Hedin came upon a number oi
stones, set at regular intervals upon
The mountainstde, and every one o1
those stones were inscribed with the
holy formula of the Thiberan religion
Many OF the lanas, or priests, DR.
Hedin says. voluntarily shut them
selves OFF from the world.
They go into separate grottos. the
entrances to which are closed against
them for the rest Of their lives, and
there. in solitude and absolute dark
ness. they spend their days.
The reason for this awful martyr
dom is the lama's belief that It IN

into a very happy existence.
He has no communication whatever
with the out-ide world. and the other
priests of the temple send In his food
by means of a long pole with bowl
attached to one end.
When the food and drink contained
in the bowl are withdrawn in an un-
touched condition the inmates of the
grotto is known to be dead.
But Thibet is land OF superstitious
and strange beliefs.
In one place there is a sacred m oun.
tain called Kailas. thirteen piigrimages
around which sre believed to purge
one of every sin.
Many pilgrims to the mountain pre-

formed in this manner Is believed to

wanderings on foot
