tariff, and as amended. apply on wool

measurement
Increases Are Few.
While the new tariff shows some in
creases in rates as compared to the
reductions made in the freight rates,
they are not material, for the reduc-
tons are much greater. There is a
general reduction from all shipping
points on the Hill City branch to Bos-
ton, New York, Baltimore and other
eastern points, alone of 16 cents per
hundred pounds, while other branch
lines enjoy the same or nearly the
same ratio of reduction. Boise is Civ
en- a reduction of two cents on the
100 pounds. The old tariff or the one
now in effect has rate of So per hun
bred. The new tariff gives a rate to
Boise of $1.9S. The greatest reduction
is given to Murphy, or % cents on the
hundred, the extra charge from the
junction point to Murphy being lifted
in the new tariff.
Determinations Found.
The tariff quotes the new rates on
both wool in sacks and wool in bales
to Omaha, Council Bluffs, ETC.; st.
Louis and Mississippi river rate, etc.;
Chicago, Peoria, ST. Paul. etc; Cleve-
land, Rochester, Syracuse, Baltimore;
Philadelphia; Albany, New York, Utica
and Boston, etc.
While the tariff shows some discrim-
nations which the commission will
probably ask to be remedied. the reduc-
tons as whole will be found beneficial
to the wool industry of this state. 1t
is of particular Importance right at this
time due to the fact the clip is now
being handled and heavy sales at good
prices are being made.
Grace, in southeastern Idaho, is
given reduction in rates of cents

his home, 81 Prospect Park West,
Brooklyn. He was ffty-two years old.
Known the country over as one OF
the most ingenious showmen in the
business, Tilyou amassed fortune by
making people laugh. He was born IN
New York and educated in the public
schools. His father became proprle-
tor of a Coney Island hotel, to the
ownership of which young Tilyou sue
ceeded upon his death.
To attract patrons to the resort ne
hit upon the scheme of furnishing
novel forms of amusement. AS the
fame of his hostlery spread Tilyou wa
quick to grasp the idea that people
would be attracted TO the place for the
entertainment features alone II they
were carried on extensively.
Steeplechase Park, with its racing
hobby horses, revolving barrels, sink
ing floors. weird chutes and playful
electric currents where their presence
was least suspected, was the result OF
the inspiration. Although the PARK
was twice destroyed by fire, new and
more elaborate amusement palace
arose from the ashes. Fred Thompson
