View of J. A. Reeves.

Railway officials are not disposed to
caril at the decision, but are rather glad
that the rate question is finally settled,
They believe that business will now settle
uncertainty that has prevailed Though
they maintain that their roads will lose
much revenue they still believe that the
finding OF the commission when IT is
received in full, will show that much was

Effect of Decision.

The commission holds In the so-called
Reno case that traffic originating at Chi
oago and In Chicago territory moving un-
der commodity rates NAV have a rate
seven per cent higher to intermediate
points than that imposed on freight orig
mating In Chicago and Chicago territory
destined to the Pacific coast terminals
From Bufralo-Pittsburg territory the
rates NAV rise above those demanded
from the same POINTS to Pacific coast ter
minals TO the extent OF fifteen per cent
while from New York and trunk line
territory the rates charged shall not ex-
ceed twenty three per cent over Pacific
coast terminal rates
|. These are the first decisions announced
by the commission in which a definite
principle is laid down in respect TO the
long and short haul provision. While the
opinion fully recognizes the influence of
water competition. to a marked extent
they draw line upon indiscrlminate
market" competition.
The effect Of the decisions will be to
notify the carriers that they will be al
lowed to meet water competition to a
reasonable extent, but that the location
Of markets hereafter Will be left more to
the play Of commercial causes than to
the will Of the traffic managers OF rail-
ways.

Former Opinion Stands.

The cases involved are those of the city
Of Spokane against the Northern Pacific
Railroad company. known popularity as
the Spokane rate case" the CONNER
cial club Of Salt Lake City against the
Atchison. Topeka G. Santa Fe Railway
company and others; the railroad com
mission OF Nevada against the Southern
Pacific company and others. and the
Maricopa County Commercial club
against the Santa Fe. Prescott e. Phoenix
Railway company and other carriers,
lnasmuch as tho cases generally dove
tail into one another. the commission an
nounces It's decisions In two opinions. In
brief, the commission takes the View
which 1t took in Its opinions OF the same
cases announced year ago last June
At that time the commission said II would
make no order respecting the rates which
1t suggested might be put Into effect
until II had had opportunity to deter
mine from reports made to 1t by the car
riers OF the probable effect of the sug-
gested rates, Meantime the carriers have
submitted to tho commission their earn
lngs under the old rlteg and what would
have been their earnings under the ra ates
proposed by the commission. These united
statements have convinced the commits
sion that the rates determined on by the
commission In Its decision OF June 4.
1870 are generally fair and reasonable
The commission says that there is no
reason why those rates should not now
be established.

Back-Haul Wiped Out.

The commission recognizes the right OF
railroad to meet water competition to
Pacific coast points but practically wipes
out the ba elk haul rates to inter Rocky
mountain territory. II lays down what Ii
considers would be fair and just rates
10 various freight zones in the west and
gives the railroads until Octooer 10 10
adjust their tariffs accordingly.
The commission also lays down The i'm
portant principle that hereafter. railroads
will not be permitted to Ak arbitrary
market limits. and that hereafter com
mercial conditions rather than the will Of
railway traffic managers shall control
rates on transcontlnental transportation.
The decisions are Of farreaching i'm
portance. They affect directly all freight
rates between the Atlantic ocean and the
Pacific coast. Particularly they affect
the rates In the territory lying between
Denver and Pacific coast points. Here
after the rates naid by shippers will be
governed by a strict Interpretation of
the long and short haul clause.

This instance shows how great a

NO MIsHAPs ARE EN-

The immense powder plant Of the Du
Pont Powder company at Gross Point
which for the last few weeks has been
tested and thoroughly inspected by the
engineers 10 eliminate all danger of ac-
cident, was opened today and the first
batch Of material sent through the var
ious processes, coming out as sticks OF
dynamite. After today the plant will
be run continuously and millions Of
pounds of powder turned out yearly.
The plant is one Of the largest manu-
factories of dynamite i'm the world. 1t
is the sixth in size in the United
States. out Of 81 owned by the compa-
ny. while none Of the others surpass
this one in thoroughness Of equipment

and virtually all OF the force Of the
Marquette plant have been given posi-

The Senter plant is a monument TO
John Senter of East Houghton, the
first agent for the DUPONT Powder
company in the copper country. Mr..
Senter is the oldest resident of Hough-
ton. He became the copper country
agent for the company i'm lS4S, and his
former position Is now, held by r. j.
Bawden. Mr.. Senter recently visited
Senter, il being his first visit there, and
in fact il was the first time he had ever
seen the workings of a dynamite plant.
When he was agent for the company
the powder was. manufactured at Ne
mours France, and its copper country
agent could not come into immediate
contact with the manufacturing end.
But the business which he established
i'm this section for the company as
years ago has grown and multiplied so
that the result is the present magnin-
cent plant. the outcome of his labors,
the result OF his business enterprise.
Mr. Senter is 81 years old but he is
still vigorous, though not of course as
Rtcive as in those early and later days
when he was helping to build up the
great copper country industry in the
Keweenaw peninsula. He walked
through the greater portion of the i'm
mense plant yesterday and took great
interest in the new manufacturing pro-
cesses which are awaiting only the
word to begin turning ost the mighty

so long associated.
