TRAFFIC OFFICIALS
ARE GIVEN HEARING

Several traffic officials of railroads
were called before Special Examiner
Ward A. Prouty of the interstate com
merce commission Tuesday at the Pal
mer house, Chicago, to testify in the
alleged discrimination of railroads
against western wool growers and ship
pers.
It is estimated that 121 railroads
are affected. The principal complain
ant is the National Wool Growers as
sociation, represented by Attorney
Victory G. johnson and Paul s. Had
dock, of Shoshone, Idaho. The com
mission was represented by Attorney
John T. Marshand.
s. III. Johnson, assistant freight
traffic manager for the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railroad, on the stand
declared that in Texas the rates of
freight are so low that the company
does not get a reasonable return on its
investment.
Eugene Fox, general freight agent
for the FL Paso & Southern railroad,
also took the stand. Attorney John
son endeavored to show that rebates
were given by the railroads to wool
shippers in the western states reducing
tho rates from $2.13, the regular sched-
uie rate, To Sl.oo. we gave REBATES
a number of years ago, said Mr.. Fox,
s'but | do not remember the amount. -
James Webster, assistant freight
traffic manager for the New York
Central lines was called, "We full
filed the customary agreement by
routing unconsigned shipments of
goods, automobiles and other commodi-
ties by way of the Hartman lines in
reciproeation for the wool routing over
our lines,' he said.

quito with its tank full of gasoline
which came too near while Mr.. Brady
was filing his pipe and exploded.
This is about the meanest thing the
mosquito has done yet When we had
all thought we had discovered sure
way to get rid of mosquitoes and ma
laria by using literally the product of
the Standard Oil company, it appears
that the mosquitoes are trying to be-
come immune by absorbing gasoline
into their systems. This is going to
make it more difficult to abate the
mosquito pest, and in way it is a
blow at the presidential aspirations of
the Hon. Woodrow Wilson, who has
been taunted with the fact that while
President Taft has rid the Isthmus of
Panama of mosquitoes, Governor Will
son has not yet proven his ability to
do the same thing for New Jersey.

CAUSE OF IOwA'S DECLINE
IN POPULATION

Iowa is one of the greatest agricul-
tural states in the Union. 1t has little
waste land and a comparatively small
area of swampy territory. It has min
ing interests Of Importance, and its an
nual coal production is about half that
of Kentucky It also has extensive
manufacturing interests, but it's chief
claim to prominence has been as an ag-
ricultural state. For some years Il
led all the states in the quantity and
value of it's farm products and it ID
still pretty close to the top. Never
theless, in the ten years from 1900 to
1910, Iowa decreased in population.
The census bureau has just issued q
bulletin giving the population of the
state by minor civil divisions. Iowa
has ninety-nine counties and only
twenty eight of them increased in
propulation in the last decade. Seven
ty-one counties decreased, the percent
age of decrease ranging from eight
tenths of l per cent to 1871 per cent.
state except one showed an increase.
The state s population gain in that
decade was 319,556. It's decrease in
the decade from 1900 to 1910 was 1889.
The census returns show that the cities
are growing at gratifying rate. The
bulletin says:
"The urban territory of the state in
1910 containde 6S0,054 inhabitants, or
30.6 per cent of the total population,
while ,544, III inhabitants, or 69.4 per
cent, lived in rural territory. The
urban territory as it existed in 1900
that is cities and Incorporated towns
then having $500 inhabitants or more
contained 572,386 inhabitants, or
25.6 per cent of the total population,
while 1858, ,467 inhabitants or 74.4 per
cent, lived in rural territory. There
has thus been an considerable increase
in the proportion of urban population.
tThe decrease in the total popula-
population in the territory of the
state classified as rural From 1900 to
1910 the population living in rural ter
ritory decreased 119,S69, or 10 per
cent. On the other hand, the popula-
tion in the territory classified as urban
increased 112,787, or 1919 per cent,
during the same period. The difference
between thse figures, 70S2, represents
the actual decrease in the population
of the state.'
The census figures indicate that the
Iowa farmers are moving to town or
are seeking to improve their fortunes
by migrating to other states. An en-
ergetic back-to-the-farm movement
SENS to be greatly needed, otherwise
iowa will not be able to maintain her
previous record as an agricultural
state.-Courier-Jo

NEW MILL FOR THE
NEVADA SUPERIOR

If no unforeseen bitches occur, the
new seventy-fve ton mill which the
Nevada Superior Mines company is
having constructed on its property in
Humboldt county will be finished and
in operation by November Is, declares
John w. Gieger, general manager, who
has just returned from trip of in
spection of this promising Nevada
mine BY adding one set of rolls and
one table the capacity of the mill may
be increased to l50 tons, and this at an
additional cost of not much more than
1000.
The mill has been constructed right
at the collar of the S25-foot shaft,
from which sufficient water will be
pumped for all purposes. The build
ing is commplete, the machinery, rolls
and erushers installed, so that all that
is now necessary is to haul over the
100 horsepower boiler, which is loaded
On the wagons at sulphur. Oil will be
used for fuel, and a 10,000-gallon tank,
to be set up at the railroad station,
a 5000 gallon tank at the mill and n
500. gallon hauling wagon are now be-
ing constructed by Silver brothers
at Salt Lake City for the mine. A
2o.000,gallon storage water tank is
coming in from San Francisco.
The Nevada Superior has 10000 tons
of milling ores on the dumps awaiting
treatment The ore will average ten
ounces silver and seven per cent lead.
The first work Of the mill will be to
clean up these dumps. The concentrates
will be five put into one, making a
very good shipping product. Besides
this. it is estimated that there is suiii
eient milling ore blocked out in the
mire to keep the mill busy two years.
The shipping streaks in the veins run
al ont 365 ounces silver, 1872 per cent
lead and 81 per cent iron.
Antelope Springs.
Over at Antelope Springs the men
are driving tunnel No 4. 1t is now in
$50 feet, and will strike the ore shoot
proven in the three upper tunnels when
feet below No. 3, and will have 400
feet of backs. In No. 3 tunnel the ore
shoot has been proven for $50 feet
and half to three feet wide of a good
milling grade.
INLAY Mine.
Last week l.. G.. Burton, manager, of
Salt Lake, accompanied by Frank
Illinois, all directors of the INLAY Min
ing company, were out looking over the
property, which is twenty-five miles
northeast from the Nevada Superior.
The INLAY is now working half a dozen
men, and is piling up on the dumps a
good grade Of ore. The expectation is
to start up the mill in the spring

people will all go to the place where
they are sure of enjoying a wholesome
evening.
The trouble at present in all large
cities is that there are too many dis
reputable resorts, and few, If any, halls
where good morals as well as good
music are looked after.
Why not apply in Newark the same
plan they are carrying out in Jersey
City? We have enough centrally To-
Gated public schools to come within
convenient reach of everyone, n If
the plan is feasible in Jersey City there
is no reason under the sun why ii is
not applicable in his city. The menu
bers of the Newark Board of Educa-
ton nave always shown a penchant for
improving the conditions among the
school children, and they should not
balk at the project of boarding the
roofs for public dances.
Under the supervision of the proper
persons young people may go to these
public dances without fear of attain
ing an unenviable reputation for doing
so. The class of people who make
the dance halls a menace to public
welfare can be eliminated from the
school affairs, and the number of
tragedies emanating from the dance
hall would shortly be reduced to a
very small number. MUS1Ck.

we're afraid Of the fool tricks and
horseplay of their w~ell-meaning, but
irrational friends.
Many a couple must have the same
fear in their hearts when they go to

Only recently a newly married hus-
band was so incensed at the serenaders
who we're besieging his home. hat he
opened the window, warned them to be
gone and fired into the crowd with a
shotgun.
Common decency would suggest that
the tricks which fools old enough. to
know better like to play on all their
newly married acquaintance ought TO
be stopped. "~Disgraceful' and
'1diotic'' are too mild terms to describe
such %horseplay. M. b..

Benents from Letter-Boxe..

BENEFITS from Letter-Boxes.
To the Bditor of the Evening Star:
Considering the number of one and
two family houses in Newark in which
there are no l~etter-boxes of any de-
scription. and where the postman
spends twice as much time as is neces-
sary, | think some decided action
should be taken in this matter to over
come the difficulty. If an ordinance
compelling people to have these private
boxes cannot be made, civic pride and
to prompt everyone to provide himself
with one If his landlord has been too
busy collecting rents to install them.
1t has been shown in the annual re-
port by the postmaster of the local
postoffice that a le~tter-carrier can do
twice and three times as much work
in the district supplied with letter
boxes than he a where there are few
or nom 1t is easy to see that this
calculation is not exaggerated when one
takes into consideration the few seconds
needed to deliver mail where the boxes
are installed and the many minutes
wait by the carrier for an answer to
his ring at the door-bel
When the receiver of a letter is not
at home the postman Goes not know
this and will spend several minutes
extra, believing the person will be
down in a minute" When the person
does not appear the p%ostraar carries
the letter back to the p%ostoffce and the
recipient loses hours before it is finally
delivered.
Incidentally the letter-carrier would
not nave to stand many unnecessary
minutes on stoops during zero weather.
OF course that it what he Is being paid
for, but at the same time it will not
take one minute off our lives to consider
him a human being and susceptible to
all the aches and pains which we fear.
If there are any reasons why twenty
five cents should not be expended for
this improvement In every home that
requires it, yours truly is "combusting'
with a desire to learn of them.

HOPE FOR A MIsd0vERNED CITY.

cTa HERE are about 100000 legal voters in Philadelphia who
regularly shirk the duty of voting in elections, and they are
of the best class of citizens. Philadelphia is the worst governed
city in the United States. Scandals that would stir the rage of citi
zens of any other city do not disturb the placidity of public senti
ment in Philadelphia. Always in the ensuing election the men
whose acts have made the scandals are reelected by large majorihes
Tweed In the height of his power in New York never equalled the
performances of men in power in Philadelphia. And there would be
no hope for the city in the municipal election this year if the politi
cal brlgands had not fallen out among themselves and thus afforded
an opportunity for reformers to elect honest men to Office. 1t is DOS
sible that Philadelphia will be redeemed from it's long reproach. but
only because two factions of the selfish and corrupt organization
that has mlsruled and pundered the city have engaged in a struggle
for power that divides its strength. If, indeed, Philadelphia shall
elect "A reform ticket the city won't know itself. But what shall be
said of the 100000 recreants who don't vote?

MoNDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 4. 1911,


II Y HILE the farmers are studying out the problem of the i'm
WV mense difference between the amount they get for their
produce and the amount that is paid by the consumer, the
cattlemen on the plains are also getting inquisitive about cattle
and meat prices. The president of the Texas Cattle Raisers' .Asso-
citation, which owns six million head of cattle, says that there is
a difference of 300 per cent. between what the producer gets for
his cattle and what the consumer pays for the product. The low
price of cattle that has prevailed has aroused the cattlemen to a
point of energetic action. Notwithstanding the unusually low prices
that the stockmen have been receiving for their animals, meat prices
for the consumer are exorbitant and are on the rise. A general
meeting of the cattIeraisers is to be held at Fort Worth on Tues
day of next week to consider a war upon the meat trust, which
plumbers the cattleraiser on one hand and the consumer on the
other. The producers as well as the consumers of food have aban-
doned hope of relief by the national government, but it is possible
that the trusts and combines that take such heavy toll on the food
of the people can be knocked out by combination of the interests
they prey upon.
