IA Satisfactory Explanation.
By DoCToR ELpRIDGE.

Noting with shame some of the
unreasonable stories relating to the
Rocky Mountain region which have
found their way into. in some instan-
ces, otherwise creditable sheets, /
naturally feel averse TO Teciting in
cidents even of my own observation:
but, wishing to perpetuate at least a
few of the most authentic and in
structive of them. l hesitatingly re-
late the following which came under
my observation while prospecting
along the headwaters of Kannah
creek early in the '9Os and from
which We now get our glorious water
supply.
As is well known by all prospect
ors and many travellers, there are
many small lakes situated high in
the mountains which have no visible
outlet. and 1t has long been a prob
lem, which scientific Investigators
have stumbled over, as TO the means
which nature employed in stocking
these ponds with fish, as there ap-
peared to be no way of their being
conveyed from some distant stream
to the rock-bound pond.
1t has been suggested that they
might have been carried in the claws
OF fish hawks and accidentally
dropped in these isolated waters.
This, of course, is possible, but this
assumption implies that the stocked
waters must be near by, as IL is fact
that mountain trout, under ordinary
circumstances, can live but few
minutes out of the water. owing to
the extreme dryuess of the air, also
that the aforesaid hawk is n clumsy
fellow.
BE that as it may, the incident
which | wish to relate has settled the
question beyond all doubt, leaving
the scientific explorer at liberty to
unrayel some other knotty problem.
As | have remarked. | was pros
pecting along the banks of the
stream late one afternoon when
came upon patch of iris versicolor.
or what Is commonly known as blue
flag. Finding this at so great an al
titude set me to thinking. and
caused me to examine them, when
found that the upper portion or cot
ton-bearing stems. had nearly All
been cut off about 6 or S inches
from the top, and that these tops, or
eat tails" were not to he found: !:
and, as ! had come up the creek and

banks, | was certain that they had
not floated down the stream. The
further fact, well known to me, that
beavers never gathered them, excited
my curiosity to such an extent that
| determined to camp for the night
and follow the matter up to final
conclusion.
To unpack my burro and arrange
my camp was the work of but few
moments. Then, after hearty
lunch of fried venison, sinlters and
black coffee, | took up the investi-
CATION again, and found that the
bank on the opposite side of the
creek from the flags was smeared
with slime and bits of moss, forming
a slippery kind of broad trail that
ended all at once about a yard from
the stream. whore | observed that
there extended out toward the foot

FREIGHT RATES
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 31.-The IN
creased freight rates. proposed by the
transcontinental railroads for the
transportation of commodities from
eastern points to Pacific Coast term
inals, We're suspended today by the
interstate commerce commission from
September until December 81,
pending investigation.
The tariffs which are suspended
propose general increase in practi-
cally all commodity freight from the
Atlantic seaboard and middle-west-
ern points of origin TO destinations
on the Pacific coast, ranging from
8 to so per cent.
While in some instances the charg-
es would be reduced, checking by the
commission appears to indicate that
the reductions would apply to little
more than ten per cent on west
bound traffic. The lowering of rates
TO such destinations as Spokane,
Wash. and Reno, New, was substan-
TALLY in accord with the recent
agreement made by the shippers OF
those cities with the railroads and
sanctioned by the commission as II
modification of the findings IN the
Pacific Coast cases.
These examples of proposed In
crease are cited by the commission:
80 cents per hundred on automo-
biles. 80 cents on furniture; rs cents
on plate glass; 10 cents on petroleum
products; 40 cents on plumbing ma
terials; 20 cents on stoves, and AS
cents on vehicles.

mainder Is under-tared. It Is this use
OF unnecessary tare, says the report,
that injects uncertainty and possible
fraud into the cotton business.
This uncertainty" adds the report,
Strikes at the basic factor of every
tran saction, namely. the amount Of the
commodity actually sold. It IN effect
establishes & false standard Of weights
with the invariably unfortunate con-
sequences OF such a condition. It thus
gives an advantage to a skilled class
Of specialists who best understand the
complicated details of the business
with a corresponding disadvantage to
the less expert. It is not sufficient to
say that the competition among these
skilled classes often forces them to
turn over the benefit of this false
measure to the producer. II IS not
seriously contended that this is always
so. and there is thus ever present the
open door to fraud. There is always
the invitation to cotton merchants to
adopt improper practices, and there
is thus enticed into the trade class
Of men who bring discredit upon hon.
est merchants. This is not only the
Cretically so, but 1t is actually so. Buy
ers OF cotton, both in this country and
abroad, are constantly finding them
selves involved in transactions where
shippers have taken advantage of
these opportunities to defraud."
Standardization Remedy.
The ideal remedy for all these evils,
Mr.. Conant concludes, is the standard
ization of tare to be put on a bale Of
cotton by making It definite or read
lily asoertainable amount, so that the
net weight may be determined with
out controversy or test. The present
and irregular methods of COW
ering cotton, IL the evils are allowed to
go uncorected, he declares, seem like
ly to invite legislation.
Pending the adoption of thorough
remedy, the commissioner believes
substantial benefits will accrue by
modifying the six per cent contract so
as to provide for deduction of five per
cent or some other percentage more &C
representing the amount of
covering actually necessary to protect
the cotton. The requirements of the
contract, he says, should certainly be
Identical with the allowance established
by the rules under an actual test
There would be a great saving, the
report says, If the cotton could be COM
pressed at the gin. Under the present
practice, the staple is pressed at the gin
and later compressed to greater densi-
ty at numerous establishments scat
tered over the cotton belt. Compress
ing at the gin, he says, would encoun-
ter opposition from the owners of COM
presses because 1t would destroy their
business. Furthermore, he adds, It
would be impractical at this time be-
cause 1t would require a capital outlay
OF at least $1OOOOO,OOO to equip gins
with congresses. Nevertheless, he be-
lieves. this is an ultimate ideal condi-
ton to which the cotton trade must
look forward.

Exporter Faces Problem.

The American exporter under these
circumstances, according to the report.
faces serious problem to avoid con-
Quoting business at loss. Some cot
ton merchants, Mir Conant saws. arc,,e
that these facts are thoroughly under
stood by the trade, and are adjusted
in the price which the exporter asks
for his cotton. The commissioner. does
not entirely agree with this view. and
says that the practical result of the
rules has been that the exporter adds
unnecessary tare to his cotton
The exporter" he says. naturally
adds tare up TO the amount allowed nv
the rules roughly 261-2 pounds. He
does this by patching IS, placing
strip bagging on the bale \ small mart
Of such patching is usually necessary
20 cover sample holes. However since
the exporter, in making out his invoice.
must deduct six per cent, he frequently
goes further and adds tare up to at
least six per cent of the total weight of
the bales; sometimes he adds even
more.
OBVIOUSLY. n the exporter makes a
complete adjustment in the price. and
also adjusts by adding tare, he makes
q profit Of such added tare. II, how
ever, complete adjustment is not made
in the price this addition of tare be-
comes simply a means Of protection
against loss. although in the trade It
IS usually spoken OF as a profit on
patching
Granting that the price Of cotton
Is in no way affected by the six per
cent rule. It is nevertheless highly OBJ
5ectionable. II results in changing the
gross weight of the bale and thus in
