PENNSY
Wins 2-Cent Fight In The
Courts
In The City Of PitiSbufg In
A Decision
Handed Down By The CON-
mon Pleas Court

The Pennsylvania company, opera
ting the Pennsylvania lines west of
Pittsburg, which pass through this
city, and the Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
pany are now free to charge higher
passenger rate than two cents mile
inside of Allegheny county, in the
state of Pennsylvania, according to a
verdict handed down by Common
Pleas Court No. 2 of Pittsburg. The
court has perpetually restrained the
county commissioners from endeavor-
ing to enforce the provisions of the
two cent rate law passed by the
Pennsylvania legislature in 1907. A
similar law is in effect in this state at
the present time.
Soon after the passage of the law
the Pennsylvania entered suit to re.
strain the Philadelphia commissioners
from enforcing the act This act was
carried to the supreme court, where
the law was declared unconstitution-
al. Since then other railroads have
received DEGREES excluding them from
the operation of the act. The Penn
sylvania company and the Panhandle
company and Gin spJiSah shrdlu aoi
railroad were about the last railroads
to apply to the courts, enteringn their
suits in the April term. The county
did not contest the cases and will not
appeal, as the original supreme court
decision covers the ground.
The decree of the Pittsburg COM
mon pleas court No. 2, is as follows:
First. That the act of the legisla-
ture of the state of Pennsylvania, ap-
proved the 5th day of April, A. D.,
1907, entitled, "An act to regulate the
maximum rate and minimum rate to
be charged for the transportation OF
passengers by railroad companies
prescribing the penalties for violation
thereof" SO changes the franchises
which the plaintiff corporation pos
sessed under it's charter, obtained
from the commonwealth, as to render
the plaintiffs lines, as now operated
and as operated at the time of the
passage of said act, so much less re
munerative as to do justice to the
stockholders thereof, and that the said
act is contrary to the constitution OF
the state of Pennsylvania and the
constitution of the United States, and
is unconstitutional and void.
Second. That the defendant, the
county of Allegheney, its officers
agents and employees be and are here
by perpetually enjoined from and re
strained from demanding of the plain
tiff payment of, or bringing any sui
or suits against 1t for recovery of any
penalty or penalties imposed by sait
act in the event that the said plaintiff
shall not at any time in the future
comply with the requirements thereof
Third. That the costs in this cas-,
be paid by the defendant.

A NEW APPLE

L. ". Pietsch, Post Falls, Idaho,
wrote me as follows:
"Having been a subscriber to The
Ranch for the past FIVE years and in
terested in fruit growing, always read

again and sent me by express four Of

thrifty grower and the bark is very
smooth. 1t grows very upright and

IN our orchard. The blossoms are
small and pinkish, very similar to
the Winesap. The apple does not turn
red in the flesh until it has been pick
ed and stored some little time and
seems to get red gradually. They
retain their deep red color after cook
ing or canning, and the cider made
from them is also red. l have propa-

We Like Your
Money
But Your Good
Will More

Our policy has always been and
always will be to so treat our Gus
tomerc that they are loyal friends.
We'd rather have mans good
will without his money than to have
his money at the expense of his
friendship. We want both your
money and your good will, however,
and are gratified to know that we
have thousands of well pleased Gus
toners all over the Northwest.
We spare no pains nor expense to
grow and deliver to our customers
the best trees that skill, experience
and favorable location can produce
and we stand back of our stock.
We are nurserymen. That's our
business. With the brains, energy
and capital we employ, we could
make twice the money in the or
chard business that we are now
making, but if we can sell good
trees to good orchardists who make
good money and can make fair
profit ourselves, we will not COM

We want your business. If our
salesman fails to see you, drop us a
