Those increases the commission
prescribed as reasonable because of
the condition of the water competi-
ton.
AS a result of the decision all ques-
t1On is removed as to the right of the
commission, not only to pass on the
reasOnableness of a lower rate for
nearer one in the same direction,
but to fix how much the difference
may be.
Can Fix Rates by Zones.
It recognizes the power of the com.
mission to fix such rates by zones, as
distinguished from taking up the con-
ditions surrounding each point of
shipment in the United States.
Chief Justice White announced the
unanimous decision of the court. He
said the case turned largely upon the
construction and validity of the long
and short haul clause in the fourth
section of the interstate commerce
act as amended in 1910.
His conclusion was that the amend
ment in 1910 transferred from the
railroads to the commission the
power hitherto reposed by congress in
the railroads to determine what ex-
emptions should be made from the
general prohibition against charging
less for long haul than for short
haul. He said if it was valid for con-
gress to allow the railroads to exer-
else the power it was valid for con-
gress to let the commission exer-
else it.

MIR. LYDON REPLIES.
Says High Wilson is too Busy t.
Train for Racing.

In answer to Mr.. Klingle's article
in The Times last week on horse
racing, I wish to say that am too
busy for sporting at the present
time, and High Wilson is in the
same position.
Every resident of Cresco knows
that High Wilson has been used for
the past two years as family and
truck horse, often drawing a 1000
pound load.
1 put $1,000 in the new race
track two years ago and High Will,
son was never inside the gate and
had no training of any kind for over
with these facts that we offer to
take him to the track any dav and
show parties interested in him as
stock horse how he can move. High
Wilson's breeding is as good as the
best. His record as great sire in
this vicinity has passed the expert
mental stage. II any one IN TINS VI
cinity has a poor colt sired by High
Wilson he can have free use Of this
paper to tell about it.
This may sound little " windy"
but I hope you will understand I
am not running bluff but answer
ing a bluff. When the busy season
is over and I have little time and
money to spend on High Wilson I
think he will show us enough speed
at least not to disgrace his blood
lines. g." Z,
I have not much money in the
Cresco Union Savings bank to go on,
but they are pretty good to lend !
when a fellow is broke.

Federal Supreme Court Sus.
tains Commerce Commission.
HAS RIGHT TO FIX TARIFFS
Highest Tribunal Also Declares Valid
Long and Short Haul Clause Of
Interstate Commerce Law.

Washington, June 23.-The inter-
state commerce commissions so
called intermountain rate orders were
sustained as valid by the supreme
court, which held, at the same time,
that the long and short haul clause
of the interstate commerce law is con.
stitutional. Both had been attacked
by the transcontinental railroads.
The defunct commerce court, pass
ing over the constitutional question,
had annulled the orders on the ground
that the commission had no author.
fly to issue blanket" or zone" OF.
ders and might act only on the rea-
sonableness of specific rates.
The effect of the intermountain
rate orders is that such Western
cities as Reno, Spokane and Phoenix
will be forced to pay upon their
freight from the East the regular rate
through to the Pacific coast and then
also another rate from the Pacific
back to their stations, because the
railroads are competing with water
borne traffic around Cape Horn or
through the Panama canal.
How Lines Can Charge.
They will pay, however, certain in
creases over the normal rates from
certain zones. Thus the railroads
may charge no more than the regu-
lar rate on shipments originating in
the territory west of a vertical line
drawn through St. Paul.
They, however, may charge an in
crease of per cent on those originat-
ing between St. Paul and Chicago;
not more than Is per cent on those
between Chicago and Pittsburg and
not more than 25 per cent on those
between Pittsburg and the Atlantic

RAILWAYS WIN BIG FIGHT
Secure Title to 500, 600, 900 Worth Of
Oil Lands.

Washington, June 23.-Transconti.
mental railways won their fight for
title to some $7O0,0O0,OO0 worth of oil
lands when the supreme court held
void the clause in the patents making
the land revert to the government II
found to contain minerals.
The court held that the patents
were irregular, but that they could
not be attacked collaterally by other
claimants, but could only be set aside
by direct attack by the government.
Justice Vandevanter, for the court,
incidentally emphasized the claim
that the governments time in which
it could take the patents had expired
in 1900 or 1901.
