The l0ng-awaited, long-expected decision OF
the interstate commerce commission on the freight
rate question for the Eastern railroads came last
Saturday and the increases allowed, while not SO
great as that for which the railroads had hoped,
offer them millions Of additional revenue and
hence much money for the replenishing of their
badly depleted supplies. Therein are we Of this
Pacific Coast country particularly interested, for
our chief industry lumber, depends to a great
extent upon the railroads and the activities
directly allied with them, and the fact that the
Eailroads have been doing no buying of any kind
Tor the last two or three years has been the
sOf much OF the depression in the lumber industry
As nation, the railroads are one of our chief
eest industries touching and influencing as they do
the steel business, another gigantic enterprise,
and almost every business, and when times are
hard for the railroads they are nightly liable to
be hard for everybody else. The converse, of
course, is true, for when the railroads are pros
porous they buy freely and their purchases stimu-
late such variety of industries that theirbuoyant
influence is widely felt.
The railroads have been in a bad way these
last few years, with their expenses and require
ments constantly climbing and their revenues con-
stantly declining. To say they were merely reap
ing the wild oats they had sown in the rapacious
days OF pioneer railroading-that they were ''get-
ting just what they had coming not, even
though true, remove the fact that the railroads
were not earning enough to meet their expendi-
lures and therefore quit spending wherever they
could. That they are to receive now added reve-
nues running into the millions means that they
can start buying again, which in turn means
better business.
Thus does every forward step of the times
presage better days for all businesses during the
coming year; may it be and in greater measure
than any now ANTICIPATED

One OF the big lumber mills at Bellingham is
reported to have foreign orders large enough to
Keep thousand men busy from January first on,
while down at Gray's Harbor another big foreign
order has just been placed, putting the millmen
there IN much better frame of mind Inciden.
tally the single market is improving consider
ably inquiries for both shingles and lumber are
getting more numerous than they have been for a
year and the prospects for steady Improvement
are considered excellent by the mill men them
selves. Such is the latest good news.

There's to be balance of three and half
millions to the credit of the postoice department
at the close of the present year, according to
Postmaster General Burleson, the second wear of
his administration in which that department, al
ways heretofore losing proposition has been on
paying basis, which of course speaks mighty well
for Burleson.

Inc white farmers of the Puyallup valley have
raised again the cry that they unable to COM
pete with the Oriental truck gardener and are pre-
sentng their arguments to the legislators of
their own county with the promise that they pro-
pose TO suggest some remedial legislation during
the coming session. The history of California is
apparently being repeated in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

PROBING BIG CHARITIES.

We have come to such pass these days that
when man leaves millions for some philanthropc
or charitable purpose, we not only turn up our
noses and wonder how and where he got it and his
motives in giving it, but not content with that
suspicion, we hurry ourselves headforemost into

to the district attorney that he thought
things were about ready for a killing
"The mayor has begun to nibble al
last" he said, "and this morning he real
ly swallowed the bait, hook, line and
sinker. think he'd have found room
for the rod and the reel as well if l had
been willing to let go. Ten thousand in
cash will land him Is it available? We
shan't need it more than a week"
Sure" said Bobleigh. My father
in-law will let me have it in a minute
Have you any influence with the
management of the Grafton House?'
asked Rawson.
yes" said the district attorney. "Mr
Jimpson owns it"
Bully" said Rawson. That being
the case, we ought not to have any trou-
bic about installing a detectaphone in
one of the rooms, so that whatever goes
on in that room may be overheard in an
other far enough away to avert sus-
picion of eavesdroppers."

"I'll arrange it all in jiffy."
"You see," Rawson went on this
whole business has got to be witnessed,
as it were, and the mayor would certain
ly shy off if there were a third party
present when handed him over his
honorarium. My plan is to put a de-
tectaphone in a room on the first floor
of the Grafton House, connected with a
chamber on the third floor, where you
and your hackers, Col. Woglom and Mr..
Jimpson, with a couple Of stenographers
to take down what they overhear, can
sit and listen to the whole proceeding.
I'll speak loud enough for you to hear
The Washington herald., 1914-08-02

:here were some crooks up there any
how" he laughed, when telling me
about it later The district attorney
himself stood up so abominably straight
that l wasn't altogether sure when l
started in that he wasn't trif1e bow
legged morally himself
Two months later, Grafton wa; in a
state of tumultuous excitement. There
was new Richmond in the field OF puS
lie service. The Greater Grafton Public
Service Corporation had come in at the
eleventh hour and was giving the old
combine" a hard run for its money
having actually had the temerity TO
work up a considerable public sentiment
in its favor against the pretensions of
the Woglom- Jimpson interests to the
corporate as we'll as the physical own
ership of Heights avenue. Rumor was
rife, playing battledore and shuttlecock
with seevral honored regulations in al
dermanic circles, and the ladies Of tEat
particular official set were not at al
proud of the things that were being
whispered on all sides relative t. the
disinterestedness of their husbands.
Nothing, however, was definitely known
as yet about anybody, or his relation to
the paramount question of the hour. All
that anybody knew was that quiet it
