TURKS BROUGHT TO TERMS

London.-After protracted diplomat
ic skirmishing, which at one exciting
moment, threatened to plunge Turk and
ally into renewed war, the Turks ac-
quiesced to majority of Balkans de-
mands at the peace conference in ST.

practically the whole of the Ottoman

Adrianople and the territory between
it and Constantinople to the victorius,
but traditionally despised neighbors.

Washington.-In order that the Ark
ansas river in Arkansas and Oklahoma
may again become great highway Of
commerce and regain prestige in the
carrying of the products of the farm.
forest and mines to the centers of COM
merce by means of lock and dam
system, Congressman H. M. Jacoway
OF Dardanelle, is working out propo-
sition whereby the commercial clubs
OF the sister states may force Con-
gress to heed the demands for i'm
proved navigation along the river.
The tentative plans of Mr.. Jacoway
include the formation of commission
to be composed OF an equal number Of
representatives from both Oklahoma
and Arkansas to obtain not less than
$4,000 yearly, either by popular sub
scription through the various Boards
Of Trade, or by appropriations by town
councils, If it can be legally done, to
meet the expenses Of maintaining q
permanent office at Washington.
Mr. Jacoway says regarding the
river:
"All the way from Nttle Rock to
Fort Gibson Is one continuous cott@u
field and taken in connection with the
vast forests and undeveioped coal
fields all along the Arkansas river.
there is no reason why the river should
not become the busiest and most i'm
portant inland waterway in the en-
tire county.
Owing to the retrogression OF the
Arkansas river as commercial high
way, the freight rates in that section
have tripled within the past thirty
years. II the early '70's' freight rates
on many commodities used in that Sec
tion Of the South were but % cents;
today the rates have increased to So
cents, which means that the cost of liv-
ing has also increased in proportion.
Cheaper water freight rates on coal
from the Arkansas and oklahoma
fields would solve the industrial
troubles of many towns in both Okla
homa and Arkansas. Coal could be
loaded direct from the mines on barges
for $1.25 ton and the cost rranspor-
tation would not exceed 81. The
Spadra and Clarksville coal fields are
on the very brink of the Arkansas
river, in fact the river bed at Dar-
danelle, Ozark, Clarksville and Spadra,
Is rich in this mineral.
"An example of what water freight
rates accomplish is the fact that sweet
potatoes can be shipped from Dardan-
ellie to Little Rock by boat, 2S cents
cheaper than by rail. Wherever one
sees black smoke pouring from the
factory chimnies in Oklahoma and
Arkansas. one knows at once that trib-
ute is being paid to the Northern coal.
for Arkansas now produces a smokeless
coal, which is unequalled anywhere.
Under the present system coal can be
shipped from the Northern coal fields
to Little Rock cheaper than coal can
be sent from Spadra, only so miles
distant.

RAILWAY Commission HANDS
DOWN DECISION IN SWITCHING
RATE CASE.
REDUCTION OF g
PERCENT Is MADE
Reduction Also Made Of Minimum For
All Hauis Less Than Three Miles in
Length From IS to - q Car - Nc
Change in Longer HauIs - Previous
Order Reversed BY Supreme Court

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 15.-The long pend
ing and much discussed switching de-
cision of the state railway commission
was placed on file today. Various
organizations In the state secured pas
sage thru the legislature of a bill Civ
ing the commission the authority to fix
a switching charge and define what is
switching zone The cities that are
compliments in the case get reduc-
ton. This chiefly affects Des Moines.
Sioux City, Cedar Rapids and some
others. At the present time the pre-
vailing industrial switching charge is
cent per hundred pounds With a MN
! imum of $4,000 pounds or S. a car. The
commission has ordered reduction to
three-quarters of cen; hundfeo
pounds making a reduction OF 20 per
cent in these cities where the COM
plants were made. The commission
has also reduced the minimum for AL
hauls less than three miles In legnth
from IS to 81 a car. For hauis over
three miles in length the minimum is
S5 a car as before
Connecting Line Question Unsettled.
No order was made as TO connecting
! line switching. The carriers are most
vitality concerned in this This repre-
sents the charge one carrier makes OF
another and these charges are almost
invariably absorbed in the regular
freight charges between points. Con-
sAouently those who are really con-
cerned in this charge are the carriers
and there are no carriers before the
commission complaining about the rate.
Decision on Wrishtman Petition.
This decision of the board, as the
opinion states. grows out OF petition
brought by the State Manufacturers
Association, thru its secretary, e. A.
wrigh,man. Under the law as passed
by the last general assembly. Orders
are made in two other cases pending
before the commission. one by the
Clinton Shippers Association and the
other by the Cedar Rapids commercial
club The commission conducted an
extensive investigation in regard to
switching rates in Iowa and neighbor-
! inz states, thru the tariff files OF the
commission showing rates at the pres
emit time. also for several years back.
Once before, in 1890. the commission
attempted to order an Industrial
! switching rate and was reversed by the
supreme court. Three years ago the
Illinois commission attempted to pre-
scribe industrial switching charges and
was enioined by the federal court at
Chicago.
