one OF the wharves Of the Terminal CON-
pany was leased TO Young at an annual
rental. The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion held that the grant of the exclusive
wharf privileges and facilities and the free
dom from regular wharfage charges result
ing from this lease constituted an unlawful
preference and advantage TO Young. TO tho
prejudice of other shippers. The companies
sought to enjoin the enforcement Of the or
der. but the lower federal courts dismissed
their complaint
Commission Exceeded Its Powers.
In 1905 the Interstate Commerce Com
mission Issued an order reducing the rate
OF s. ton on rough green fir lumber and
laths from the Willamette Valley to San
Francisco to Sc 40 and So S.. The Southern
Pacific Company attacked the order In the
courts on the ground that no evidence had
Icen presented TO the commission TO show
II that the rates were unjust and unrea-
sonable compared with the service per-
formed. The company contended that the
reason the commission issued the order
was because IL believed that the railroads
had induced lumber manufacturers to en-
ter the Willamette Valley by holding out
a rate sufficiently low 10 meet ocean com
petition at San Francisco, and hence that
il would be inequitable after the manu-
facturers had spent millions in the valley
to allow the railroads TO increase the rates.
The latter equitable reason, the trdnspor-
tation company argued. was insufficient to
support the order.
The Supreme Court to-day held that the
complainants against the S. rates did not
contend that the rates were unjust, and
that the commission exceeded Its power IN
issuing an order based on the equitable
ground.
The so-called full crew act" passed by
the Arkansas Legislature in 1907, provided
for an engineer, a fireman, a conductor
and three brakemen on all railroads In the
state Of fifty miles in length on trains Of
more than twenty-five cars. The officials

in answer. attacked the constitutionality Of
the act, principally on the ground that 1t
was an unlawful attempt 10 regulate in
terstate commerce. The Supreme Court of
Arkansas upheld the constitutionalty of
the law. and that decision was affirmed to-
day.
To Review Naval Stores Case.
OF the men concerned in the courts sc-
ton in the naval stores case, Spencer T.
Shotter. chairman Of the board of directors,
is under sentence to serve three months in
jail and 10 pay fine of $500, while j. f.
Cooper Myers. the vice-president Of the
company. is TO serve the same time in jail
and pay a fine of $500. Edmund S. Nash,
president was fined 5000: George Meade
Boardman, treasurer. 5000. and Carl Mol
Ter. manager of the Jacksonville branch OF
the company, 5000. The decision Of the
court to review the conviction is q step in
one OF the most spectacular prosecutions
under the sherman antitrust law. For the
first time men have come before the court
TO have sentences of Imprisonment for
alleged violations Of the snti-trust law set
aside.

Washington. Feb. 20.-The three days
hhouster on the omnibus claims bill came
to sudden end in the House this after
noon. when that body in order to expeui'o
legislation and pass pending appropriation
measures, approved gag rule whic''
suspends all rules for the remainder or tne
session. This means that some OF the DIX
appropriation bills may be passed under
suspension OF the rules by two-thirus
vote, without amendment or more than
1erty minutes debate on any measure. Inc
Democratic members OF the Rules Commit
tee agreed to tie plan and the leaders OF
the minority, including Messrs. Underwood
Fitzgerald and Clayton, urged their col
leagues TO support the resolution In order
to end the long filibuster and to avoid the
necessity for an extra session.
The omnibus claims bill Itself against
which Mr.. Mann had conducted filibuster
for three days, extending through an all
night session on Saturday was the first
measure 70 be passed under suspension OF
the rules a two-thirds majority was
easily obtained. over the protests OF Repre-
sentatives Gardner and Roberts. OF Massa-
chusetts. and Bennett, who early on Sunday
morning renewed the fllibuster which Mr.
Mann virtually abandoned after he had
been successful in having the French
spoliation claims stricken out OF the bill.
The three members named were princi-
pally Interested In this class OF claims, and
made an Intellectual attempt this afternoon
to prolong the flibuster and prevent the
passage OF the special rule. The measure
passed by the House by a vote Of l73 to 43
ccrtalns only Civil War claims and there
is not much probability that the Senate

WEEKLY LETTER
FROM Mr.. PHILLIPS

This week will end the first years
session of our agricultural schools.
We shall send a number of boys
and girls back to the farm from
which they came. They will go
back with an increased appreciation
of the dignity of the farmers call
ing, with an increased love for the
farm, with minds trained along
agricultural lines. Doubtless they
will make mistakes, but they VIII
never make the same mistake twice.
These agricultural students have
studied the soil, its needs, its pos
sibilities, methods of cultivation
and other things pertaining to the
farm. They are now anxious to
apply the information which they
have gained.
Let us give them all the encourage
meut and assistance possible. In a
few years, they will be called upon
to shoulder the responsibilities OF
church and state. They will be
expected to stand in the front rank
as leaders Of every worthy move
ment in church or political life 1t
will be seen that they are by nature
and by training, fit to shoulder such
responsibilities.
A few years ago a college proies-
sor made this statement: ga fool
can farm" Many agreed with
him. But to-day the consensus OF
opinion among thinking men Isl ga
farmer must be an intelligent man,
we'll trained in his life-work. The

Drainage In Greene

ureene County, Arkansas, offers
an excellent example of the progress
oelng made in the Southern states
u The reclamation of swamp lands
oy drainage. Five years ago when
county Judge Light of Greene
county authorized the formation of
'ne hrst Drainage District for the
reclamatlon OF swamp land in the
county, a surging mob of protest
lug taxpayers, surrounded the
court House, demonstrating against
'ne levylng of the tax, and threaten.
ing to lynch the Judge. Today
there are thirteen drainage districts
IN the count that will reclaim one
third of the area, and lands that a
lew years ago were not worth the
taxes are now worth from $l5 to $50
per acre and are supporting splendid
plantations. A year ago on the
strength of bis sturdy drainage pol.
icy Judge Light ran for a third
term for Judge and was elected by
good majority.
Adjacent counties In the state
have also taken up the movement
and drainage districts are being es-
tabllshed which will reclaim millions
of acres of land.
