instances charges would be reduced,
checking by the commission appears
to indicate that the reductions would

RAINEY HAS NARROW ESCAPE.
Brakeman on Burke Branch Caught
Under Rock Slide and Bruised.

Joe Rainey, the popular brakeman
on the Northern Pacific, runnig on the
Burke branch, was the victim Of an
accident last Saturday which was an
unusual one for railroad man to be
mixed up in. 1t came near being
serious one for him and as he lay on
the platform at the Wallace station
weighted down by the mass of rock
he thought for while his last hour
had come.
Without a seconds warning, the
rock slid or fairly jumped from the
steep hillside above the platform and
carried him short distance with It,
He was thrown down by big boulder
that fell across his body, holding him
helpless. Here he was found by the
other brakeman, who with assistance
removed the rock and helped him to
comfortable place to await the COM
ing of the ambulance. Examination
showed no bones were broken and that
the injuries were not of a serious
nature.

She was the dearest little woman

1t was evident that she came from
some of the towns around where
they don't have as many overhead

watched Lineman Murphy of the

damp ground under those wires,

CUBANS RUSH
CROP TO MARKET

Willett & Grays last circular says:
The market for the week has been
quiet and steady as whole but with
times of weakness in sympathy with
European advices, closing without
change in quotations from 3.92c. per
lb landed basis, or 2 9-16c. c. & t. for
SO deg. test. The difference to be
noted, however, is in the largely in
creased offerings of centrifugals at
2 Slice, c. & Z. basis for prompt and
at 2 5-Sc. c. & f. for July Cubas, indi-
eating that sellers are finally becom-
ing under the influence of the insur-
rection possibilities in Cuba and are
more anxious to get their sugar ship
ped out of the Island. Again it is
evident from the foreign news, latest
at hand, that no further purchasing
from Cuba for the European markets
need be expected and that. on the
contrary part of the Cuba sugars al
ready sent abroad may find a marKet
here in reshipment to our country at
better parity than exists for other
sugars abroad.
We draw some conclusions hcNe-
with as to the supplies and demands
for consumption in the L. S. for bal
ance of calendar year which, posi-
bly,, do away with any necessity for
imports of Javas this season except
to small extent; this is the expec-
tation of holders of Javas, who are
making no effort to sell here and are
asking .30c to .4Oc. above the parity
Of Cubas.
Our cable from Java reports no
shipments in May for T. S. or Eu-
rope, but we understand that about
$4,000 tons have since been shipped
with u S. options.
European markets have fuctuated
between lis. Cd. and t2s 3.4d for
Beet, closing at is. II IA d. for June,
July and August, the premium for
August having been lost. October
Beet, influenced by the favorable Eu-
ropean crop news, is quoted at los
2 1-2 d., the parity of 4,415c. for Cen
trifugals.
In view of the latest information
we have increased our estimate OF the
Cuba crop $4,000 tons to total pro
duction of 1,S5O,OOO tons.
On advices Just received we have
increased our estimates of Porto
Rico crop 10000 tons and Mauritius
10000 tons to 100000 tons and 17O,.
600 tons respectively.
Louisiana crop prospects are fairly
good considering the recent unfavor.
able conditions, and latest advices re.
port much less damage by the floods
than anticipated.
The domestic Beet crop promises
big yield, having made a good start
with largely increased sowings.

JAILED SUFFRAGETTEs

LONDON, June 20 - The sUifra-
gettes now in prison, including the
most prominent of them, are on a
hunger strike because their leaders

not eaten anything naturally since
Thursday morning.

Only Dwight voted no on the de

On the matter of the Armory Low
made a vigorous speech, his strongest
point being the crying need of school
accommodations. He said there were
1920 children not being educated for
want of room, and thirty or thirty-fve
additionals rooms were needed at Il
cost of probably $4,000, Education
was paramount although the great
need of money for roads was also a
consideration.
Murray advocated the armory to
keep 500 young men off the corners
and out of the saloons, who he said
did not care to avail themselves of
the Y. NJ. c. A. where they could not
smoke or chew.
This board was not going to do any
school building anyway, and education
was a Territorial matter among others
on which the legislature hao passed
the buck to the counties As for roads
they were not in such bad condition
after all, Murray contended alleging
that that board had made more roads
than any other. Besides, it would take

city and county's road requirements.
