FREIGHT RATE EXCESSIVE

[From The Tribune Bureau J

washington, July l2.-The IhIeT'VU'o
Commerce Commission to-day announced
a decision holding that $40 per car Tor
and Mcfarland, Cal, to Newark, n y
is unreasonable and that in the future the
charge shall not exceed $40 per car. Hepa-
ration in the sum Of $3.50 was AWARDED 10
the Jackson e. Jenkins Company, Of New
ark n. Y, which entered complalnt
against the Southern Pacific Company ana
other roads
The commission found that the ship
ments In question were made during ths
summer months and that they moved
through Northern gateways, thus not re-
curing much e-icing. The nursery stock
consignment was billed as perishable and
the freight charge was made for continuous

PUBLIC UTILITY NOTES..

The three leading public utility corpora

sonal property returns. and the Minneapolis
tax officials in accordance with these re-
turns have placed on them an increase Of
over 10000 Among the corporations
taxed was the Minneapolis Street Railway
Company. which was given an increase in
its personal property Of t225.cOO, hence max
ing the total valuation for purposes Of tax
alton &,1l7,G95. The Minneapolis Gaslight
Company was another one 10 have its per-
sonal property increased. The company on
its personal property was assessed at 81
7O5. 900, an increase Of S255,ooo over that for
1871. The Minneapolis General Electric
Company has a personal property assess
ment Of g, go coo an increase Of $500 coo over
that of 1911. These assessments do not in
clude the real estate valuation, which also
has been raised to about 10000 on the
street railway company, $4,000 on the gas
company and $1,000 on the electric com
papy. In all the assessed valuation OF the
three public utilities Of Minneapolis has
been increased more than 100000 over that

OF N,7l4O10 per cent preferred, $4,000

PERIN'S PEAK POINTERS.

Preparations for the picnic are well
advanced and given a fine day, it
promises to be a tremendous success.
1t cheers the committee to see the
amount of interest everyone is taking
in the arrangements, and there is no
derth of willing workers.
Several people have been losing
chickens lately and the strong perfume
that has pervaded the camp during
the night proclaimed the thief. Pete
Locatella laid for the robber early
in the morning and he and Leo Nc
Cormick each bagged very odiferous
skunk. Perhaps the chickens will be
safe for time now.
A few of the boys were practicing
trap shooting recently, getting ready
for the coming game season. Trap
shooting is a very fine sport and
teaches the sportsmen to be ready
wing shot; it trains his eye and gives
him confidence, so that when the
shooting season opens, he is ready for
the game and is never at loss how
to act in any emergency. Not only
that, but it teaches him to give the
birds a sporting chance by always
allowing them to get on the wing be-
fore shooting.
John Meston takes his vacation com
mencing Monday and Kenneth Fergu-
son will take over the company store
during his absence. We will all be
glad to welcome Kenneth on his re-
turn to camp, as he is a very popular
young man, and takes healthy in
terest in all that concerns Perins. We
are going TO keep him for the picnic.
There have been five or six new
arrivals in camp this week.

SOME REASONS WHY WE
NEED A SOUTHERN OUTLET

Pennington, N. NJ, July 1s, 1912,
Corporation Commission,
State OF New Mexico,
Santa Fe, N. NJ.
Gentlemen:
At a meeting of the directors of
the Pennington Fruit Growers asso-
citation held last evening | was re-
quested and authorized to write you
concerning the existing conditions and
emergency which confronts the fruit
growers of this county at this time
on account of the negligence of the
| Denver & Rio Grande Railroad com
pany.
We are located at the terminus of
the d. & r. G. railroad. That road,
from here to Durango, fifty miles, is
standard gauge; from Durango to
Alamosa, 200 miles, is a narrow
gauge; from Alamosa to eastern slope
points, it is a standard gauge. 1t is
apparent that all freight over such
road must be transferred from cars
of one gauge TO another at both Ala
mosa and Durango.
We have a marketable crop Of fruit
this year which will amount on a CON
servative estimate TO 900 cars. (I
understand that the ID. & r. G. rail
road estimated in excess of this
amount after sending a representa-
tive to visit practically all the or
chards in this county.)
Up TO this time this season only
cherries and small fruits have been
shipped, but in about two weeks the
heavy shipments Of peaches will be
ready. In order to market these at
all it will be necessary that the rail
road furnish iced cars. They are
not operating a single refrigerator car
between here and Durango at this
time, and so far as we can under
stand they are not preparing to do
so. They have been asked to equip
this branch with such cars, but have
failed TO do so. AS an alternative
they they have been asked to equip
sufficient number Of refrigerator
narrow gauge cars in such manner
that they can substitute standard
gauge trucks at Durango, running
them when loaded from here to Du-
range on the standard trucks and
jacking them up, substituting narrow
gauge trucks at Durango, sending
them on to Alamosa and making one
transfer of the fruit from narrow
gauge refrigerator cars to standard
gauge refrigerator cars there. The
railroad officials agree that they can
transfer the cars from one size truck
