the Santa Fe system before the spec
iaI examiners for the interstate COM
merce commission and tne statement
OF the roads statistician that increas-
es In freight rates asked would net the
Santa Fe only $4,000 increase yearly
in earnings there came a suggestion
today that the railroads now on the
defensive might change their tactics
and seek TO compel the shippers who
oppose the advance in freight rates
to declare how much they profit on
the different commodities under con
sideration.
A request from Attorney f J. Nor
ton, counsel for the Santc Fe for the
names of the different associations
of shippers represented at the hear
ing that he might question certain
OF the shippers, gave color 10 this
report,

When the initial presentation OF the
contentious OF the Santa Fe system
was concluded the hearing was trans
ferred to the Rock Island road. The
FIRST witness at the afternoon session
was w. A Peet. chairman of the

eented a compilation OF the rates In
effect in the territory west of Missouri
river. The tables showed both the
class and commodity rates and In
cluded the years 1900 TO 1910. Attor-

ton. and now that he had grown TO
MANHOOD, he resolved to realize his
ambition. He was fortunate enough to
become pupil of Horace Bixby and
he was soon guiding the awkward
river craft along the tortuous channel
of the muddy stream.
The idea of his becoming an author
mad never entered his mind at that
tlme' but he absorbed enough of the
pilot life to enable him to describe the
dlhculties encountered in guiding 4
boat along the great river in his Life
on the Mississippi River" which he
wrote many years later.
First Literary Work.
In 1862 he began his first regular
literary work on the staff of the Vir-
ginia City Enterprise He wrote a col
umn daily, dealing with the political
situation in the state, that attracted
wlde attention. These articles he
signed with the nom de plume Mark
Twain" which he had heard sung out
on the Mississippi steamers to let the
pilot know that the sounding showed
two fathoms of water.
In March of 1867, Twain" published
his first book. The Jumping Frog of
Calaveras County" The book made
quite a stir in that part OF the coun.
try but only 1000 copies were sold.
IL attracted the attention. however. of
the editor Of the Alta California. who
sent the author out as a newspaper
correspondent on a steamboat excur-
sion to southern Europe and the ORR
ent.
His letters were published from time
to time, and in 1869 the author re-
yised them and published them in
book form under the title OF "Tbe In.
Docents Abroad" This work made
Mark Twain" famous and compelled
his recognition as Americas foremost
humorist In the first &c months. S.
600 volumes were sold, and many
more subsequently. This was a record
sale for those days.
