RAILROADS ARGEEs TO MODIFIED
Is PER CENT FREIGHT RATE
REDUCTION.
IS SUBMITTED TO CRAIG
The Corporation Commission Of the
State Will Report the Proposals to
the Governor Without Recommend
ing Acceptance.

Raleigh to Raleigh from
the four-days' conference with rail-
road traffic managers at Old Point
Comfort, the members of the corpor-
alton commission gave out a state
ment to the effect that the confer
ence has not resulted In such COM
plete agreement aas to freight rate re-
Cduction as that the proposed adjust
ment will be presented to Governor
Craig with recommendation that it be
accepted, but that it did result in
such concessions that the commission
will present the result to the governor
for his consideration. The commits
sion's statement says:
cat the last conference in the Of
fee of the governor the commission
insisted that the proportion of
through rates represented by the rate
from the Virginia cities should be re-
duced rs per cent, and presented
a basis for working out the new
rates that would approach that aver
age.
cat the conference this basis was
finally accepted by the carriers with
some notifications, resulting in a
scale of proposed rates to the Win
ston and Newbern zones of 20 per
cent less than present rates as gen
eral average of the class rates and
tons on the classes in which the
heaviest traffic is handled, so that it
is expected that the reductions as
applied to actual traffic moving will
closely approach rs per cent. The
most important commodities in vol
ume handled from the West are
grain and grain products and under
the scale now agreed to by the car
riers the classes under which they
are handled would. be reduced % per
cent.
"The same reduction in cents on
the 100 pounds would apply to other
zones except right near the northern
and southern state lines and west of
Statesville, rates to those points be-
ing worked on a somewhat different
basis. The railroads did not con-
cede the position of the commission
that Statesville rates should be the
maximum for all points west of
Statesville.
'The results in detail will not be
announced until they are presented
in formal report to the governor and
as there are a number of important
matters connected with it yet to be
worked out, it VIII be some days
before it can be rounded out as a
whole for the final report. ~ T..

TYPHOID Vaccine For The State.

TYPHOID Vaccine For The State.
The state laboratory of hygiene will
soon be making typhoid vaccine for the
state at greatly reduced prices. This
vaccine, until recently sold at abnor-
mally high prices, but it has now beer
reduced so that the vaccine itself
costs about $3.50 per person In the
interest of humanity, economy and
public health, the laboratory will
make it and sell it at cost. The first
of the product will probably be on
the market in few weeks, and will
sell at cost price. This will probably
not be over fifty cents for the vac
cine, and perhaps even less. At that
price the average man will feel able
to protect himself and family from
the disgraceful scourge of typhoid.

"What shall l do?" asked a wo- man who felt her grief was greater than she could bear. How many hundreds of others, borne down by the tides of disappointment, grief and sorrow, are asking the same question.
 Once we heard an old lady say, "Work is the great sorrow killer, and she knew, for all the waves and pillows of human sorrow had gone over her, yet she had risen above them through work. When the clouds seem heaviest, the sun gone, all ins lrmountable wall before you, go to work, work hard for yourself, or better still, for some one else.

CH|SANA GOOD

Valdez Man Returns From New Diggings--Reports Favorable
 --Remained Two Days.

Charles Miller and c. R. Nor man, who reached Valdez last night from the Chisana, coming via the ScOlai pass to McCarty, then to Chitina and from there to Valdez via the gOvernmdnt road, predict that the Chisana camp will be one of the biggest in Alaska and they also condemn the ScOlai pass route as unnec- essarily dangerous, as the route via the Gulkana is safer and bet ter and nearly as quick as the Scolai pass route over the gla- cier, on which from { to feet of snow had fallen when they crossed a few days ago.
 Both men predict that men who work in the newcamp this winter will uncover big pay streaks in the benches. Because of lack of provisions they were compelled ito return after spending two days in the new camp and were unable to purchase supplies, as the Freedman and Hamshaw pack train of 26 animals had not reached the new camp. They report that Bert Bollin- ger, Judge Tucker and several other well known people had se- cured good locations on Wilson creek.
 Dolph Smith and his party had reached the camp and were pros pecting in hopes of securing sev- eral claims on neighbOring creeks.
 Tom Lane was passed with a big outfit with which to do pros pecting this winter on the behch- eS.
 The two men report from 500 to 75O men in the new camp Game was found in plenty all along the route and in the White river and Panama river valleys.

What Was on His Mind,

Once a clergyman went to pay 6 visit to an old Yorkshire yeoman, who was lying on his deathbed. Aft CT few preliminary words the worthy minister said that if the veteran had anything on his mind he hoped he would ease his con- science and confide it to his pastoral ear, so that he might die in peace. "Well, sir" answered the old sports man, eff I only had to live my life over again, I'd fish more with bait and less with fies.'

OUR THIRSTY WORLD.
1t May In Time ouIp Down Every Drop
 of Water We Possess.

of Water We Possess.
 Scientists have long declared that the earth will dry up and become as barren and dismal as the moon. But there is no occasion to worry about this, since it will not occur for more millions of years probably than we can count.
 In regard to the present dried up condition of the moon, it used to be believed that the moon at one time had plentiful supply of wa ter, but that the great heat develop ed on either side as the moon was turned to the sun on alternate sides fourteen days at stretch gradually evaporated the water. This vapor of evaporation did not fall back to the moons surface, it was claimed, because the moons gravity was not sufficient to hold it, and so the vapor constantly thrown off by centrifugal motion gradually left the moon barren and dry.
 But the new theory now held by great scientists is also held to be ap- plicable to the earth, and that what really happened to the moon will happen to this planet in the course of time-an almost unthinkable amount of time.
 This theory is that crystal of any sort, lump of rock salt or quartz or limestone contains great proportion of water. If these things are heated in retort the water is recovered and the crystal becomes powder. Now, if this powder is placed near water it will absorb while cooling quite lot of it.
 The interior of the moon being at one time extremely hot, so hot that it was a molten mass, a cooling process was started then, and in cooling the natural demand was for water in order for them to form their crystals. The water seeped down through the crust of the moon, and finally it was in that manner all used up.
 This is the manner in which this theory is applied to the earth. Our great oceans bring a powerful pres sure to bear upon the earth's crust, and because of subterranean vol canoes in various parts of the Pa cific ocean we know water is gradu- ally seeping into the heated interior of the earth.
 The earth continues to lose its heat by radiation, and this brings about a shrinkage and cracking of the old crust, as demonstrated now and then by great earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. This in turn makes communication between the water of the earth's crust and the cooling mass inside, these things being affinities. And so it is claim ed all the earth's water must gradu- ally seep into the interior and go into the formation of crystals. Even then it is claimed there will not be sufficient water to cool and crystal lize all the molten mass inside.-. New York American.
