Pen Pictures of the Pathfinder and the
 Famous Scout.
 In Exit Carson Days" by Edward l.. Sabin. We get this glimpse of the personal appearance of Carson and Fremont when the two daring spirits first met:
 "In June, 1S42. came the Hateful meeting of the trapper scout already known throughout the west, and the Pathfinder whose great fame was still to come.
 'SThe two men were oppoSites. Car son was Scotch-Irish, gray blue eyed, sandy complexioued (under hls tanl light haired. rather aat featured, gritty, but so quiet and ordinary both in appearance and manner that few not knowing his name would beStow upon him more than passing glance. Fremont was French. flashing blue eyes, olive white complexion, thick brown hair, features regular and oval, disposition sensitive, quick, eager and indomitable. Few would forget him.
 Fremont was a scholar of both American and continental accomplish ments. At this time Carson could not read nor write even his own name, and bis speech even in 1866 was of patois wherein mingled Mexican, In. dian and many q frontier English thar 'fout,' 'massacreed,' pore etc. But he spoke in more languages than did Fremont himself. not only being fluent in English, French. Spanish and several Indian tongues, all acquired orally, but also being well conversant with the sign language of red man and of trail"
 Of thIs meeting on the Missouri, out from St. Louis, came cOmradcship first and friendship that never ceas' ed In California and in the Mexican struggle the stanchness of both men ard their loyalty tu the dag were well tested

FOR HIGHER RATES

Cleveland Leader: In granting he railroads of the very populous and iudustrially and commercially important section of the United States between the Au&n%c and tur Mississippi, north Of the Pc iomac and the Ohio, 2 general ad- yaLce in freight rates, the Interstate Commerce Commission bases it's de cis.ou upon the bcoaiest grounds of equity and need. Its action is Justified by great and far-reachins changes in business and financial conditions, and the railway com wauies are only permitted to meet au emergency which they had no rarJ or lot in creating.
 The commission recognizes the .a,C that when half million dol lu.s in railroad bonds and notes mature, which will fall due within the shortest period In which war conditions will govern the money markets of the world, aOnormally ligh interest rates will prevail. |, also takes cognizsnce Of the et- feet of The war in making supplies ot many kinds required by rail roads uucommonly expensive.
 In the face of general dislo- cation of the trade and industries Of the world, the majority of the commissioners do not feel justified in denying To the railroad com pautes a slight share in the gen. rral advance in prices. They pc Ceive that for the great common carrying corporations the cost of doing business has risen as surely and as inevitably as the cost Of living has increased for private cit :zeus. As,i
 For these reasons rather than because better times for the rail roads are expected to help materi- lily in making the times better ty~ all business and for the coun- ny. an advance in rates is allowed, wi,h several noteworthy eNcep- Lens. It is denied to lake-and- rail traffic, in whatever combina- ion the land and water trauspOr- Iacion may be divided. Higher ~ates are forbidden on bituminous coal and coke. They are denied Upon anthracite coal and iron ore, tor the present, at least. Another -4se is pending which involves the charges for such traffic.
 These exceptions affect very grear volume of business on which tue freight rates are lower, as a rule, than on other kinds of rail traffic. The cost ot the raw mate rials which underlies many of the larger industries of the country is not 10 be increased by higher rail road rates.
 On mature consideration, the common sense of the country is likely to agree substantially with the Interstate Commerce Commis- sious decision. It will be felt that the shippers, producers and con sumers can well afford to divide among them the cost of an in crease of 5 per cent in railroad rates, except as to several impor- tlut commodities and the great Iake-and-raiI traffic, if the effect can be felt in a general quicken Ing of industry and trade. The more thoroughly the text of the decision is studied and weighed, the harder it will be found to dis sent from the commissions con clcsion that justice and common carrying corporations be permitted to do something to offset their sh,.re in the increased cost of liv-
