COMMUTERS CLASSIFIED
Termed Works, Clerks, Shirks
by Lackawanna Attorney.

The appeal of the New Jersey Com
muters' League for n readJustment of
railroad rates into Jersey City and New
York was summed UP yesterday before
the New Jersey Utilities Commission in
the Jersey City ChRncery Chambers. De-
cislon was reserved. George l.. Record,
member OF the State Board Of Assessors,
and Roy Robinson and John w. Zlsgen,
Of the Commuters League, spoke for the
league, and M. VI. Stallman, for the
Lackawanna Railroad responded.
Nothing could be more prcposterous
than this old boyle that the railroads are
carrying passengers at loss" said Mr..
Record. The notion that this idea can
be drilled into the minds OF people Is even
more preposterous. The rates to New
York are too high. The rates to Jersey
City and Hoboken are also too high The
way to do Is to have fiat rate TO Jersey
City and Hoboken, and to sell all tickets
to those points"
Mr.. Stallman said the Lackawanna had
given the commission proof II was carry.
ing commuters at loss. Despite the
fact We realize two and a half cents a
mile from some passengers. from our
commuters we realize only cent a mile. I"
he said. In 1871 we carried passengers a
total of 100000 miles. Ninety-seven per
cent Of the passengers are carried be-
tween points solely in New Jersey. Then
why should not these local passengers pay
for the maintenance Of the road? We
have an investment Of $5S.0OO.O00 In New
Jersey. Should we not get at least a &
per cent return?'
Speaking Of commuters. Mr.. stallman
said: I'VE classify our patrons into the
works. the clerks and the shirks. The
works are those who take the early
trains. the clerks ride at 8 and o'clock
and the shirks travel In the dull hours"

Queer Wax Of Oregon.

Nehalem wax is the name given a
somewhat mysterious product found
on the beach near the mouth of the
Nehalem river in Oregon.
II was observed by the early ex
plorers of that coast. Later consid.
cradle deposits We're found in the
sand OF the beach. in 1916 several
tons of this queer. waylike substance
were shipped to Hawaii, and since
then many tons of it have been sent
TO Northwestern markets.
Opinion is divided concerning the
nature and origin OF this substance.
Some hold that it is beeswax and 9th.
ers contend that it IS a mineral sub.
stance called ozoeerite 1t is usual.
IL found in large rectangular blocks.
II has a honey-like aroma when
freshly cut. Examination made in
the laboratory OF a western univers.
fly shows that the substance closely
approaches beeswax in composition
and does not accord with the proper.
ties of ozocerite.
The conclusion. oddly enough, IA.
yors an Indian legend of the wreck
OF a ship at the mouth of the Ne
halem before the coming of the white
men A Spanish ship with supplies
for the Catholic missions In the north
