EARLY FREIGHT RATES HEAVY
Tine When "AIl the TrafFe Viii Bear
Was Interpreted in Nest
Literal Sense.

Formerly the only practical means
OF transp0rtas sion from the eastern
part Of the United States 10 the ex-
Teme western part vas by water
around Cape Horn. In 1854 the Pana-
ma railroad was built. After that
goods were carried by water from
New York to Colon; by rail from
Colon 10 Panama. and by water from
Panama to San Francisco. The first
transcontinental railroad was finished
in 1859 by the completion at Ogden,
Utah, Of the Central Pacific from the
vest and the Union Pacific from the
east. In that primitive period Of rail-
road history the traffic manager knew
only one principle of rate-making. He
charged what the traffic would bear"
He did not mean by this that he
charged all that the existing traffic
would bear. That would prevent the
development OF more traffic; and to
develop more was his main object. He
meant that he charged all he could
without hampering the movement or
growth Of traffic. The situation Of the
first transeontinental road, running
through an undeyeloped country,
much of which was inhabited only by
wild animals and wilder men, was
such that it had to apply this prin-
elple vigorously. To get any of the
traffic from the Atlantic to the Pa
cihc coast il had to make rates which
would be as attractive to the shipper
as the low rates made by water 1t
did not have to make rates as low in
proportion on traffic from the Pacific
coast into the interior; it had a mo-
nopoly of that business. 1t, therefore,
made its rates from the east to the in
terror relatively high Nor did il have
to make low rates to get traffic moving
from the east to the western interior.
II goods from the interior came by
water the shipper had to pay the
ocean rate, plus the rate of the rail-
road back from the coast. To all
points within 400 or 500 miles of the
coast the railroad made rates that
were equivalent. When its trains on
their way from the east dropped
goods off at these points, it charged
as much as if it had hauled them to
the coast and back. If its rate from
New York to San Francisco was one
dollar and its rate from San Francisco
to Reno, New, 80 cents, its rate from
New York to Reno, New, was $1.5O.
The places to which rates were based
on the rates to coast terminals were
called intermediate" points.-Samuel
o. Dunn, in Scribner's Magazine.

The Coming Railroad Tie.

In a recent address before the
American Railroad Engineering asso-
citation ]. w. Hendrick vice-president
of the Atchison, Topeka e. Santa Fe
line, briefly discussed the proposed
substitutes for the wooden tie. That
it will ever be replaced by one of con-
crete he believes improbable, because
that material is lacking in elasticity.
Steel seems to him undesirable, chief.
ly because of It's cost, though doubts
of the expediency of using it are also
inspired by the comments of men who
have given it trial. If metal is ever
adopted for railroad ties, in Mr.. Hend-
rick's opinion it will be in combina-
tion with wood.

ALL WITHOUT A FATALITY
Remarkable Results Of Blowing Up Of
Runaway Engine on Baltimore
& Ohio Road.

Strange freaks owere the result OF
the blowing up or engine No. 1878 on
the Newburg grade of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad, in which five men
were injured, says a dispatch from
Cumberland, Md. The engine col
lided with another engine while run
ming beyond the control of the .engl-
neer down the grade and the explo-
sion followed. The bell was blown
half a mile and fell into the parlor OF
the home of c. P. Ellis, leaving a
gaping hole in the roof and ceiling.
The whistle, weighing 100 pounds,
dropped into the yard of another resi-.
dent of the town a good half mile
away, and other heavy portions of the
engine were blown away. Windows
were shattered in all houses within
200 feet of the accident. Telegraph
poles were torn down, and communi-
cation was suspended for an hour. The
runaway engine was demolished
completely, and 1t almost totally
wrecked the two engines Of the double
header which was bringing a coal
train over a crossover. A part of one
of the engines was blown through the
hardware store of John T. Hartman,
doing considerable damage, and a fire
started at the residence of C. P. Ellis
from hot fragments of the bell which
went through the roof. Railroad men
say that such an accident without
one of the six men on the three en-
gines being killed, or even fatally in
jured, is without parallel.

JUDGE MORSE REVERSED.
Supreme Court Holds Clerk Entitled
To Onc-Half of Fees.

The county clerk is entitled to one
half of the fees collected in naturali2a-
tion cases as compensation for the
work. according to an opinion handed
down Monday by the supreme court,
reversing Judge Morse In the case Of
] u. EldredSc. Jr., formerly county
clerk, against Salt Lake county. Under
the act of Congress of June 20, 1906,
called the naturalization act. it was
provided that the clerk of the court
should retain one-half of the fees and
turn the other half over to the proper
government officials according to the
decision. IL Is further hold that the
duties of the office imposed by the act
of Congress are not such as adhere to
the office OF county clerk and that tho
county has no jurisdiction over the
fees The salary of the county clerk Is
fixed by law and the extra official serv-
ices rendered as the agent of the gov
ernment do not come under that law.
Mr. Eldredgc retained 1923 of the
naturalization fees, which represented
one-half of what he collected. and the
county commissioners objected. This
work means the employment Of an eX-
ira clerk who Is paid by the govern
ment and the clerk keeps half of the
fees. which enhances the office TO some
extent The opinion was written by
Justice ]. f. Frick and concurred In
by his associates.

SHARP CASE PASSES
INTO UTAH HISTORY
Famous Coal Conspiracy Trinl VIII
Not be Reopened Following SUI
premc Court Opinion.

The famous D ]. Sharp conl case is
practically at an end. This morning
Hiram F.. Booth, U. S. district at
torney, received notice OF a reversal
OF the decision OF Judge Marshall.
which held the defendants guilty. by
the circuit court of appeals. presided
over by Judge Sanborn at st. Paul
Judge Sanborn has rcmanded the case
back to the Salt Lake tribunal for
retrial but Mr Booth this morning said
that II was improbable that the case
would again come up for a hearing
New evidence Is required legally and
the district attorney said that he did
not think he could produce anything
materially new.
In the legal world IL Is interesting 10
know that a writ of certiorari cannot
be reviewed after a decision OF the
court of appeals. That Is the end. even
as much as an appeal from a writ Of
habeos corpus. After the adverse de-
clslon by the court of appeals the dis
trlct attorney asked for a writ OF GER
tiorar. The ruling which refused this
and remanded the case has practically
deprived Mr.. Booth OF his legal am
munltlon.
The case has been famous In its way
1t WAS between ID. ]. Sharp and the
Union Pacic Railroad company and
others. A decision was given In favor
Of the plaintiff and was appealed with
;hc above result. Sharp ives u Salt
Lake coal dealer who alleged that
there was a conspiracy against him
which originated because of the fact
that he had reduced the price OF coal
He was forced out of business and IL
was alleged. ruined financially.
