made more money than ever before
in their history. Roads that were
supposed to be bankrupt a few years
ago are now paying dividends on
hundreds of millions of watered
stocks and bonds.
The country is still paying interest,
in rates, on the first railroad bonds
ever issued. 1t has been said on
good authority that not more than
one issue of railroad bonds ever made
has been retired. Railroads never
paw back the money they borrow.
They Just make the public pay in
terest on il forever.
AS rule, the country over, the
railroads get more money for hauling
crops to market than the farmers get
for growing them. Out in Idaho, a
few years ago, / found that farmers
were growing potatoes very success
FUZZY, but complained there was no
money in the crop. 1t cost fifty
cents bushel to haul the potatoes
to Chicago. When the market price
of potatoes went down to sixty cents
a bushel it didn't pay the farmers to
dig the potatoes and they let them
rot in the ground.
In several years of travel and
study of railroad rates and economic
conditions | have found that this rule
generally applies The railroads make
their rates. on the basis of all the
traffic will bear, and they make them
high enough to leave the farmer just
about enough to live on out of the
sale of his crops.

spicuously displayed upon all thea

FUTILE TELLS WHY HE
IS OUT FOR GOV. FIELDER

WASHINGTON, Aug. Coon
gresham William e. futile, jr., who
has all along been an enthusiastic
supporter of Governor Fielder, gave
out a statement in defense of his
making preliminary choice between
the candidates for governor.
II regard James F. Fielder as the
logical and inevitable candidate of
the Democratic party in New Jersey
this fall" he says. His long expe-
rience in the two houses of the Leg
islature, his familiarity with the de-
tails of the States business. his con-
coded ability, courage and independ-
ence, his freedom from fractional
quarrels. his temperament and char
acter, his progressive but rational
tendencies, his identity with the new
movement within our party and his
possession of the confidence of the
people all make him an ideal leader
at this juneture."

WASHINGTON, Aug. ZO'
A good many years ago the Penn
sylvanfa and Baltimore and ONO
railroads established the practise OF
delivering freight free of charge TO
store doors in Baltimore and WASH
,ngton. Not all kinds of freight was
delivered free, and not everybody got
free deliveries, but on certain goodS
Tor certain customers, the incoming
freight was loaded on big trucks ana
oarted to the consignee's place OF
business without extra charge.
For some reason not clearly ex-
snlained. the railroads decided a few
months ago to discontinue the free
deliveries in Washington. The local
business men VINO had been getting
free deliveries hired some lawyers
and made a complaint TO the inter-
state Commerce Commission, claiming
that since Baltimore still had free
delivery, the business men or WASH
tngton were being disseminated
AGAINST. After hearing the evidence
the commission sustained the COM
plaint. declared that the suspension
~ free delivery here was discrimina-
fion. and. to remove the discrimlna-
tion' ordered that the free delivery IN
. Raltitnore also be discontinued.
Freight rates remain the same to
10th cities, but the merchants now
have TO haul their own goods from
the freight yards.
Several Western States have in re-
cent wears passed laws making Two
cents a mile the maximum rate the
roads may charge for passenger 1ares.
These roads all fought the two-cent

sustained by the courts, the roads
raised all their rates.
Recently the officers of the Grand
Army of the Republic asked the
Western railroads to make a special
excursion rate of cent mile from
all points to the Chicamauga en-
lcampment next month. East OF the
Missouri river the roads made this
rate voluntarily. The roads west of
the Missouri refused TO do so, point
ing to the two-cent mileage laws as
the reason, and refusing to make ex-
eursion rates of less than two cents
q mile.
EVERY railroad in the West sells
snecial summer excursion tickets,

trains, at rates 'as low as quarter
Of a cent a mile, and compete for the
business. Passengers riding one way
on the same trains are compelled to
pay two cents mile.
1t is thirty years since the expert
ment of railroad regulation was be-
gun in this country, and rates are
higher now, in many instances, than
they were then. When the Interstate

the railroads of the country in a

the general belief was that the prin-
cess probably objected to the prince
on the question of caste.

That his execution was ordered but
never accomplished, Mr.. Davis lays
to the friendship of peon, who in

cape.
Yesterday Mr.. Davis called on Judge
o. w. Powers, whom he claims as one

Since the death of her brother, she

that the grief and shock Of her bro

The manner by which she brought

used shotgun, held it in her mouth
and pulled the trigger with her foot.

FIT. HALL ANNIVERSARY SUNDAY

Next Sunday, July 9th will be the
10th anniversary of the establishment
of the old post Fl. Hall, and Monday
morning the anniversary of the rails
ing of the flag for the first time be-
tween the Rocky mountains and the
coast range.
1t is about eighteen miles below
Blackfoot on the left bank of Snake
river and can be reached by team but
not by automobile. 1t was named
in honor of Nathaniel Hall, Boston
school teacher who was to have ac-
companied the party in their trip to
the Pacific ocean, but failed to con-
meet with the at them at the Missouri
river and was left behind. FIT. Hall
passed into British hands in 1886 and
remained so until the close of the
Mexican war, when the northwest
boundary was established with Eng
land. For long time it was the on
ly place on the map for nearly a
thousand miles, where the traveller
could be sure of finding somebody
and replenish his supplies. It was
abandoned as military post during
the Civil war, and another post of the
same name built on Lincoln creek
about 25 miles to the eastward,
Much confusion exists as to the To-
cation of Ft. Hall, and in fact it is
entitled to be rated as tramp fort"
as it was moved SO many times.
When the old barracks on the river
bank was abandoned during the six
ties, cattle men moved the buildings
out on the bottoms to more favor
able location called "The Dobies,"
and while the old trenches still exist
at the one place ''The Dobies" exist
at the other, and both bore the name
of Old Fort Hall The new post on
Lincoln creek was gradually turned
into a school, and in 1904 the new
training school was built near the
railroad below what is known as Ross
Fork. The new Ft. Hall school d.
yided honors with the post store I'M
til the railroad company discarded
the name of Ross Fork and adopted
Fl. Hall, SO that the present TT. Hall
is the fifth place where the name has
alighted and done service, and all
within a radius of about fifteen miles.
