New Freight Tariffs Announces III
Minnesota. ID, s~
The state railroad and warehouse
commission has announced the ,sched-
ule ofifreight rates prepared to son
form with the eastman distance tagiiR
law enacted by. the last legislature and
effective Jan. 1. -
THE new rates in the main differ
little from the freight rates adopt
ed In 1907 and held valid BY theaBnit-
ed States supreme court last Jane,
except that they are both maximum
and 1minimum rates, while the exist
ing rates are only maximum rates.
Under the present law the railroads
could reduce rates to meet special
conditions, while under the new Cash
man law reductions for one section
must be followed by similar reductions
for the same distance everywhere on
that roads lines in the state.
Merchandise rates under the aew
system are slightly higher up to 125
miles, lower from 125 to 300, and
higher from 500 to 400 than rates up
held by the decision in the Minneso-
ia rate case. Commodity rates are
the same as the present maximum,
with the exception of lumber, which
has been slightly reduced.

MINNEAPOLIS LEGAL HOME
Minnesota to Get Tax on Entire Gates
Estate

Estate.
The state of Minnesota will proba-
bly, get a share of the entire estate of
the late Charles G. Gates. He was con-
sidered a resident of Minneapolis and
therefore subject to inheritance tax
on all his belongings, according to w.
F. Stevenson, assistant attorney gem
eral and commissioner in charge of
inheritance taxes.
Mr.. Stevenson says that if Gates
had been a resident of another state
Minnesota would get only the tax on
his holdings in this state, but as it is
the state will receive taxes on all
holdings wherever operated.
Mr.. Stevenson says it is too early to
make any estimate on the sum to be
collected

all. One railroad, the Duluth end OF
the Northern Pacific, will probably be
hit and hit hard because of advantages
held by its interstate rivals, but Min
nesota is a big state, the new tariff
is a radical departure from old rate
making methods and ideas and it
would be strange if in an upheayal of
this character some one was not hurt
in the OyerJurning One thing is sure,
the new tariff puts the special favor
game out of business. Distance alone
governs the cost Of shipment and any
favOrs granted one community by a
railroad must be extended to other
towns on the same system and enjoy
ing a similar distance. Of course the
schedule and the law itself is going to
be attacked in the courts. Such is in
evitable; but l fail to see where the
opponents Of the new idea are going
to win. An examination of the new
schedule shows nothing scary about
it. IL anything, it looks good. If l
we're state official or interested in
things political l would not speak ill
Of the new rates or busy myself with
the opposition. The kickbaek is en-
tirely too dangerous to monkey with.

5000 of these blanks were distributed
in ST. Paul alone. All incomes in ex-

CALHOUN MINERALS
BEING DEVELOPED
Marble, Copper, Lead and
Other Minerals Said to
Be Plentiful

Admission, May 17-(Special.)-On of the
most marked features of business in this
county at present is the development of
Calhoun's mineral resources
Even the Oldest residents have been
surprised at the discovery of marble de-
posts in this county and the Admission
district. Beginning at the northern end
of the county there are immense deposits
of black marble. To the west of this
city deposits of gray marble are said
to be found in great abundance, and
information has been given out here
unonicially of deal just consummated
In which big fortune changed hands.
The white marble to the south of An
niston Is said to be the finest in the
world.
1t Is said that there has been dIscov-
cred in Calhoun county traces of copper
that give promise of large DEVELOPMENTS.
Lead also exists here, besides other min
erals. and Admission business men are
seriously considering the question of ex-
plotting these assets, which until recently
were little regarded
An important meeting OF the Annis-
ton Chamber of Commerce will be held
at the club rooms Monday, at which
time officers for the ensuing year will
be elected and other business transacted.
There is little doubt of the reelection
OF President r. l.. Turner and Secretary
l.. C. Watson, if they can be induced to
accept their offices another year. The
governing board, consisting of ]. c.
Sprouli, j. j. Willett, w. A Davis and
DIR. j. l.. Willle. will also likely be re-
elected and possibly other members added.
None of these gentlemen receive remun-
Grafton for their services. and they are
doing a work which is worth thousands
OF dollars annually to Admission.

Performance at Montevallo

Montevallo, May 11.-(Special Tine
dramatic pageant given by the students on
Saturday night was a great success. The
great campus, with its terraces, was well
adapted for use as an out of door theatre
and the performance took place at the
west end of the lower terrace with the
seats on the top and sides of the terrace
next above. As is possibly known. the
basis of the pageant was the poetized
translation of the Pawnee Indian Corn
festival. the 'Yako." This transla ton
has been most beautifully done by Hart
ley Burr Alexander. The poem as given
has been arranged for solo speaking
parts, chorus work and theme dances by
Mrs HOWE of the institute faculty. She
has done most excellent work, both in
diversifying the action and in retaining
the unity of the beautiful play.
The music is the work of Mrs. David
SOMEONE'S of the music department. She
has used some known themes of the In
dians as basis for operation, and having
lived several years in the Indian country,
New Mexico, and travelled quite extern
sively, has taken her knowledge of the
Indian temperament to aid her in fitting
suitable melodies to the choruses. The
dancing is also original work.
The spirit of the Indian has no medium
ground. 1t is either intensely joyous or
deeply religious. These two phases of
music have been well developed in the
wind dances" the corn march, the
Spirit of Heaven and the Spirit of
Corn" themes. The dances are the work
of Miss Funk and Miss Putnam of the
fe Guilty. They are most charmingly fitted
into the action of the poem, and help to
complete the ensemble
Those who are interested in new move
ments along any artistic line will be glad
to know that this is the first public per-
formance of this poem. Its possibilities
for even greater beauty have been seen
into by Mrs. Howie and Mrs. Davidson
Jones, and at the request of the author
they are arranging to get out during the
coming summer a new, complete score for
the 1nse of the nIblic

Entertainment at Jacksonville

Jacksonville May 11-(Special) AT the
home of President Daugette Friday even
ing the faculty and graduating class OF
the State Normal school met in a COM
petitive entertainment. 1t was rather an
improuptu affair, the programme being
arranged only the day before. neither side
knowing that of the other. The seniors
performance was first on the programme,
Perry w Capps, president of the class,
assuming the role of President c. W.
Daugette and the other members of the
class impersonating the normal school
faculty. held a mock faculty meeting.
This was so cleverly done and the meet
ing was conducted so much like the real
thing. it was hard to believe the students
had not eave-dropped some time when the
faculty was in session. When the seniors
had 'done the faculty to a finish" the
scene changed, they became the audience
ana the normal school faculty the per-
formers.
president Daugette assembled his fac
ultv. stating that they had met for the
purpose of deciding whether the seniors
should be allowed to graduate or not.
Eoch senior was discussed In turn as to
his personal appearance, disposition, man
nor character. ability and scholarship,
whether he should be allowed to gradu-
ota and was recommended for certain
lipa of educa tional work. OF course, this
was all done in burlesque, many amusing
things being told upon the students, and
in many cases it was decided a student
had not come up to the standard and he
was required to do something as test.
,rhose musically inclined gave musical
n,mbers. others told stories. recited and
r A. Phillips gave demonstration les

. ,,,,sine as his class (the seniors) failed
o. follow his Instructions. and each one
Ala the exercises in his own way. At the
ciose of the evenings entertainment a
dalicious ice course was served by Mrs.
