CONNERSVILLE, Ind. Dec. IS
Congressman Gray said today that he
had merely held up the recommenda-
ton Of Charles B. Beck for the post
mastership of Richmond until he had
ascertained more fully public senti-
ment in that city. He said he was pur-
suing the same policy in Richmond
that he used in dealing with other
post Office appointments in the Sixth
district.
The congressman refused to di-
vulge the source of the late opposition
TO the appointment of Mr.. Beck. He
said that there had been no confer
ence of Beck's opponents in Corners
Vile last night. He emphasized his de-
sire to give the citizens of Richmond
the postmaster they wanted. He said
that he had spent time and money to
secure good men for the offices, and
that he had given the Richmond ap-
pointment especial care and attention.

all other individuals they want to

to get two pixies, one from Laurel
county line TO the Lincoln line and
one from the Big Hill to the Pu-

it, and just as sure as night fol.
lows the day, victory will crown
our efforts. We would like to

ket nearer to the farm and make the
farm more desirable. In turn good
roads enlarge the trade territory OF
the town. A country home out from
the city five miles over a well kept
road is In reality nearer than one sit

reached over bad road. Fifteen miles

In material and labor, and IT will do
more work and better work than any
grader at any cost. 1t will operate
with one man and team, and a grad
er requires three teams and as many
men at least. If all the money that
is spent on the grader to the detri-
ment of the road was put into drag

reason or excuse for using it to tear
up and ruin roads.
A perfect dirt road can't be made
with a drag in a day or a week and
scarcely in a year, but long and con-
sistent use Of ii is bound to make a
good road finally. The main trouble
now with the drag is that it Is used
only systematically In many cases and
then not at the right time. There is
certain time after rain when the
mud is not entirely dried and yet is in
shape to be dragged into the ruts and
uneven places of the grade. In this

Reduced freight rates on the
Spokane Falls & Northern branch
of the Great Northern, ordered
by the state public service COM
mission, went into effect Janu-
ary II, 1912, according to an off,
cial ruling made by the commits
sion last Tuesday, in a letter to
Judge Brown, Great Northern
attorney. The ruling declares
that the 30-day provision in the
law does not apply to rates Or
dered by the commission and
concludes that all shipments on
this branch must move under
the new rates from January IL.
J. C. Harrigan of the Colville
Examiner is in receipt of the
commissions letter to the Great
Northern, and it is here given in
full:
Olympia, Jan. Is, 1912. Mr..
F. V. Brown, Atty. G. N. Ry.,
Seattle. Dear Sir: Confirming
our telephone communication of
today beg to advise you that the
commissions ruling is that order
No. 254 with reference to the S
F. & N. rates became, under Sec
tion 81 Of the statute (Chap. LII,
session 191D, operative and
effective twenty days after the
service thereof. Inasmuch, how
ever, as it was impossible for
the Great Northern Railway to
compile and publish it's tariffs
before January II, 1912, which
would be about twenty-three or
twenty four days after the SER
vice of the order the commission
is willing to treat the latter date,
namely, January II, 1912, as the
date upon which the published
tariffs under order No. 254, be-
come in full force and effect.
I'm our opinion, section Is,
Chap. III, session laws 1911, re-
lating to changes in tariff sched-
ules does not apply to affirmative
orders of the commission entirely
or in part superseding and re-
placing existing tariff schedules,
but that section 81 of the law

which provides that orders shall
become effective and opera tive
twenty days after the service
thereof must govern in cases of
this character.
"You are, therefore, advised
that the commission will treat
the revised and modified tariffs
. as specified in order 254 and now
on file with the commission, in
full force and effect on January
IL, 1912, and all shipments on
the S. F. & N. branch must move
under those tariffs as and from
that date. Respectfully yours,

of Washington"
The facts in the freight rate
case are easily shown in the
following simple table, which
gives the freight classification,
the price in cents per 100 pounds
from Spokane to Colville on the
S. F. & NJ, the price in cents per
100 pounds from Spokane west
ward on the Great Northern, and
the price in cents per 100 pounds
