WANTS TO INCREASE RATES.

Evidently with the intention OF hav-

maximum intrastate rate OF 8 cents per
mile. This is the same contention in

forming the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
line.
The case OF the Washington South
ern was recently appealed to the SUI
preme Court and is now pending,
awaiting argument at the January term.
Yesterdays proceeding took the form
OF supplemental petition, reviving
the old petition OF April IA, 1908, when
the road asked the Corporation Com
mission to review and rehear the or
ders reducing the passenger rates to 3
cents mile on the leading railroads Of
Virginia. At that time this road agreed
to continue the 2-cent rate in effect
until final settlement by the Supreme
Court OF the United States of the
appeal taken by four of the Virginia
companies from the order of the COM
mission. 1t was then ordered that the
petition for rehcaring stand on the
docket, which it has been doing ever
since. The case III the Supreme Court
vas settled long ago, but this is the
first move made by the railroad since.

Russia's Attempts on Persia.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 29.-The hurried
departure of Gen. Guerngross, chief Of
the army staff of the Caucasus, is be-
lieyed to indicate that Russia is fearful

Russia has never given up her hope
to seize portion OF Persia, and in that
way secure a seaport perennially free
from ice, through which she may en-
JOY uninterrupted commerce with the

Orangemen to o., 5s'..> Rule.
Belfast, Irela z9.-Home
rule for Irela svyr becomes
reality, will be panied by fierce
fighting and bio, ,led. according to
the unionist leaders. The orangemen
say they will resist to the last any at
tempt to break away from England.
The orangemen are already secretly
recruiting to resist an Irish parliament
and selecting officers to drill them into
regiments. A sum estimated to be
more than 5000 is in hand to buy
arms the moment an Irish parliament
is decided upon.
There we're two great unioniSt meet
ings in Belfast yesterday. One of
them was in secret, and at this meet
ing, the unionist papers declare, it
was decided to resist with arms any at
tempt OF an Irish home rule parlia-
ment TO lexy taxes or impose laws.
Following this secret meeting, hun
dreds OF orangemen today secretly
enlisted in the army" that is to fight
against autonomy. Officers who have
served their time have been appointed
to drill these recruits, and when home
rule becomes inevitable, Ulster county
will become an armed camp.
The unionists are oppose to home
rule. They believe in sticking to
England and in having their laws
made for them by the English parlia
ment. The unionist leaders believe
that liberal victory i'll the approach
ing general elections will mean not
only the removal OF power from the
House OF Lords. but the granting OF
home rule to Ireland.

sided. He presented telegram from
ex-Primo Minister Arthur Balfour,
saying:
IF Ulster stands firm home rule

in forcing the disruption of the United
Kingdom upon a hostile and deter

In his speech the Marquis declared
bitterly that home rule means the
placing Of the protestant neck under
the Roman Catholic heel" and he
predicted that Ulster county would
never submit to a home rule parlia-
ment.
Sir Edward Carson, ex-solicitor gen
eral, and now a conservative member
of parliament for Dublin, declared
that American dollars would never
buy Ireland, adding that the money
raised in America by Redmond O'Con-

FIRST BALE NEW
CALIFORNIA HOPS
burst Yard Makes Shipment by EX-
press-Crop Conditions.

The first bale of 1910 California
hops were received by Philip Wolf &
Co., of San Francisco, Tuesday.
They were shipped by express from
burst Bros yard at Wheatland.
Crop and market conditions in
England are shown by London hop
factors circulars, dated July to 6,
to be as follows:
Wild, Neams & Co.-The situation
in the hop plantations is less salts
factory. The cold weather has re-
tarded the growth, and there is also
fair sprinkling of vermin in many
places. Trade is quiet, and beyond a
few purchases for immediate require
ments, there is little doing.
Manger & Henley-The reports
from the plantations are nothing like
so satisfactory as a few days ago.
The low temperature has left it's
mark on the bine, and the prospect Of
a good crop has receded considerably.
There is a little more inquiry on the
market.
Hop Exchange Wareheuse-Busi-
ness is exceedingly quiet. Very few
hops are changing hands at the pres
ent time, although offers are slightly
reduced in consequence of favorable
reports from the plantations, from
which it appears that, although ver-
min is reported in most places, it Is
not serious, and there is also very lit
tie mould. The bine has grown very
rapidly, and appears rather thin for
large crop.
w. H. and H. LeMay-There is a
firmer feeling on the market, and
holders are not now so anxious TO
clear out, many preferring to wait
and see the result of the crop to
slaughtering their stocks at the pres
ent juncture.

The Inventor of the Modern Flute.
Theobald Boehm was the inventor
of the modern flute. At 16 years of
age he made an instrument for him
self, patterned after one with four
keys loaned him by his friend. Then
he began to blow the flute with glee-
full enthusiasm in all his spare time,
not especially to the delight of his
friends and neighbors. He was a
proficient goldsmith, and was also
skilled in the mechanic arts. He
tried in time to make essential i'm
provement in the keys, springs and
pas of his flute, but found equality
of tone and perfect tuning to be inn
possible, because the proper spacing
of the tone holes required too great
a spreading of the fingers. In order
that the tone holes might be of the
right size and be placed at acousti
cally correct points, it was necessary
to devise an entirely new system of
lingering. He could not remodel the
flute without sacrificing the facility
in playing which had been gained by
20 years practise.
In 1882 he constructed the ring
keyed flute, upon which he played in
London and Paris, where its advan-
tages were at once recognized by ar
lists.
There were still difficulties which
only a change in the bore of the
flute could overcome, and it was not
until 1851 that he perfected the flute
which took the prize at the worlds
exposition in London and in Paris in
1855.
