Purchased Jail Cell.

Before adjournment last week the
county commissioners contracted for a
jail cell of the Pauly Jail Building
Co. and the same will be placed in the
Grabski room, next door to the laun-
dry. The present county jail was con-
demned by the grand jury last fall as
being unhealthy and unfit as q prison
and since then Idaho county has been
compelled to keep her prisoners at
Lewiston. quite an expense as we'll a
q source Of inconvenience. The cell
will be placed in the building by Oc.
tober first and in the future Idaho
county will be able to take care Of hel
prisoners at home.

In q closely contested game the
Grangeville team won from Nexperce
last Sunday by q score Of 3 to 2.
This is the fourth defeat for Miller's
Invincibles and it seems it has remain
ed for Grangeville to locate the vulner-
able place in the heretofore 16-inch
base ball armor.
Manager Miller Of the Nezperce
team has protested the game but &C
cording to those who are up on things
baseball he has not a leg to stand on.
Grangeville is now determined to win
that pennant and in spite Of the fact
that we are near the bottom Of the
ladder the boys if they continue to
play the same classy ball as they did
last Sunday will make the team go
some that wins over them.
Ingram was easily the star Of the
game having figured in 6 chances with
out any kind Of a blemish. And
Holly, what a back stop and coach
and full Of fireworks, all the time on
their toes, and Pap and Karr and
the rest Of the boys, they all played
ball and that is what won the game.
They all played the kind Of ball you
read about and the kind that wins.

,.......te Commerce Commission
Rules Against Railroads.
n|DNe0F SPOKANE RATEcAsE
rheaper Rates for Inland Empire
Bu;ld Up Small Jobbing Centers.

In what are known as the Spokane
Reno Pacific coast rate cases, the in
terstate commerce commission on
Monday ordered material reduction
IN the freight rates from the east to
points between Denver and the Pacific
Coast terminals Of the various trans
continental railway lines. For many
vears the railroads have been exact
ing Of shippers located in these inter
mediate points, such as Spokane, Salt
Lake and others q higher rate on
eastern freight than was charged the
coast terminal cities. The railroads
have defended this higher rate by a
comparison with the coast rate plus
the backhaul. Under the ruling Of

probability will.now turn more and
more to the water routes, whereby they
can lay in goods at rates independent
Of government fixing. There is
equally no doubt that Portland will
also turn its attention more to the
rivers and will develop and use those
free highways to q greater extent in
distributing to the interior the vast
commerce now centering there. The
shipping agencies, instead Of running
away from the rivers at the slightest
excuse, will probably now want to
keep them open and in service as long
and as much as possible. 1t will
need to do SO now not as q matter
Of sentiment or as an object lesson,
but as matter Of capital utility and
Importance.
For another thing, in view Of the
almost inevitable recourse of coast
points to the water routes, the rail-
ways are going to have to do some
thing to counteract that tendency
away from their own routes. This may
be done, conceivably, by moving
freight otherwise than through Spo-
kane, insofar as such can be done,
still without traversing the long and
short principle as already established.
For example, the Union Pacific may
route shipments across the continent
to Portland, or the Canadian Pacific
to Seattle, or whatnot, leaving
Spokane far to one side, and at rates
that will still leave the coast the dis
tributor as before In any event, thu
coast will be given new local rates
| into the interior territory, and thi'
will apply simultaneously with an,
other changes under the new rule. IL
other respects, intermediate shipping
| territory, like St. Paul, Grand Rapids
Detroit, ETC., are now given distinc
rates to the coast, where heretofor
they have operated under q blanke
rate, applying equally to all easter
territory on account Of the water hau
from Atlantic points to the Pacific
The trans Mississippi territory as
whole seems to be given preferential
|, distance rates, instead Of taking tn
arbitrary eastern rate under the OF
rule. The reductions thus seem
|, mean lower rates oil around TO th
Pacific coast and not prejudicial rate
in favor Of any locality or at the e.
pense Of any locality. That muc
may be taken as certain, regardless
, any pretension and clamors that ma
, be put forth, a. has been done in tn
J past, to mislead and defraud UNI

! taces accruing to any point under u

the commission in the future these
intermediate points are to enjoy the
same rate on eastern shipments as the
Coast points, thus giving them an op-
portunity to be the distributing point
for the territory by which they are
surrounded. The railroads are given
until November Is in which to adjust
their tariffs accordingly. BY the
ruling Lewiston, Walla Walia and
the smaller places will be given the
same through rate as the larger cities
like Spokane, thus giving to them the
same advantage As enjoyed by Spo-
kane. Just what the effect Of the
ruling will be is hard to conjecture at
this time but it looks as though it
will have tendency to make a num-

Revival of Electric Line.

There is q revival of the talk Of an
electric line into Grangeville since the
acquisition Of number Of power
plants in this section by the Pacific
Power Co. Last week several Of the
big men Of the coast company were in
Grangeville looking the field over.

A comparison Of the old Spokane
rate with the future Grangeville rate,
which in way is an example Of the
way it will effect other inland towns
in this territory, shows plainly that
N the future much Of the wholesale
business Of this territory can be done
with economy in the middle west as
the freight rate in the future will be
reduced not only to Spokane but the
little towns as we'll. The decision is
Of material benefit to the Inland
Empire but just how much better off
the Spokane Wholesale houses will be
after the matter is adjusted and in
working order is somewhat problemat-
ical In speaking Of the decision an
Inland Empire paper reviews the
matter in the following intelligent
way:
Briefly, the order discourages the
charging Of higher rates than seven
per cent differential in favor Of water
competition on freight destined for
Spokane than is charged on the same
freight destined for coast terminals,
and passing through Spokane. Such
reductions under the seven per cent
penalty as this brings about apply also
70 interior common points within the
same zone, like Walla Walla and
lewiston. Already the same rate ap
p'les to Spokane as to coast points in
some classes, and . cheaper rate in
others. The commission recognizes
.n's and suggests that some rates will
oe higher as q result Of the order
Material reductions will occur to Spo
ZANE and like common points in Other
respects, like agricultural implements

points and l.15 to the coast. Abou

A Gift With a Thought in it.

What other Christmas present costs
so little and means so much as sub
scription to The Youths Companion
So weeks for $1.75? 1t is a gift
which benefits not only the one who

With many Christmas presents the
sense of novelty wears off by the
weeks end, but The Youths Com
panion is as new and sought after
the fifty second week of the year as
the first. 1t is elastic in its adapt
ability, too; for it does not matter
whether the present is for boy or a
girl, young married people, sedate
couples, grandparents-there never
was one yet who did not set store by
The Youths Companion. You cannot
make mistake if you give The Com
panion-and it is only 81. Is year
now. On January 1, 1912, the price
will be advanced to So. 90.
The one to whom You give the sub
scription will receive free The Com
panion's Calendar for 1912, litho-
graphed in ten colors and gold. and

Clever Paris Beqears.

Begging is forbidden Oh the Paris
boulevards But one day recently a
pale, poorly dressed man was seen
Lumbly approaching various pedes-
trians. He was evidently not used to
begging, and as he told his pathetic
story without the requisite boldness
people passed him by unnoticed. A
man dressed in black stepped up to
him and showed him card. He car
ried a thick stick anu wore heavy
mustache and thick boots, which are
the outward and visible signs, with
multicolored ribbon in the buttonhole,
of detective in plain clothes.
Now. then, get out of this or I'll
run you in he said roughly. Then
in lower tone, Poor chap and fur
lively he gave the man some silver.
People had seen him do it, and.
cheering the kind hearted policeman,
they. too. gave to the poor beggar. A
few minutes afterward in side street
the two men divided the spoils and
moved off separately to ply their trade
elsewhere. The detective wasn't q
detective at all; but beggar made
up for the part.
