CHAPTER xIl.-Continued.

In the morning he found his oppor-

was empty of all save himself. Fever
ishly he pried back the boards, found
the brace beam, and gently laid the
box there. 1t was a mighty curious
looking box. Once he had stocked up
the Chinese coast from the Philip
pines, and he judged 1t to be Chinese
in origin He tried to pry open the
cover and feast his eyes upon the
treasure; but under the leather and
ivory and mother Of pearl was imper-
vious steel. 1t would take an ak or
q crowbar to stir that lid He sighed.
He replaced the boards, and became
to all appearances his stolid self
again.
But all the way down to the BAHIA
mas he was moody, and when he an
swered any questions it was with
words spoken testify and jerkily.

THE BASIS OF RATES

AS has often been remarked, any
business seems simplest to the per
son who knows least or has thought
least about it. Among the business
problems that seems to simple to the
tyro is that of rate making. One
suspicion seems to be universally en-
tertained-that any rate is too high,
and for someone no doubt, any given
rate is.
A search for logical basis of rate
making brings up many interesting
facts and principles. Whether the rate
for any service, such as transportation
of passengers or freight, or the sup
plying of water or electrical energy
or other service, shall be based on the
cost of the service to the agent rend-
ering it, or ON the value of the sery-
ice to the recipient, or on a combina-
ton of the two is a question on which
much may be said.
Many argue that there is only one
fair basis for rates for public service
the cost of the service to the agent
rendering it. If we admit, for the
sake of argument, that such is the
case, there remains the question
whether or not a system on that basis
could be actually worked out an used.
Cost of service will be determined by
the amount of service rendered, and
by the expenses of the business. I'm
fortunately for our theory expenses
do not increase and diminish at ex-
actly the same rate as the volume OF
business Certain expenses, common
ly called fixed charges, remain the
same whether or not any service is
rendered, and whether or not any in
come is received. Interest on bonds.
taxes, insurance, and certain charges
for depreciation are examples. Iii
PROSPEROUS times such expenses woulG
be distributed over large volume OF
business. in lean years over a little.
The expenses of running train, for
example, are not directly proportion
al to the tonnage carried, so rates
would vary with the amount of
freight carried by given train from
day to day.
Without going into the difficulties
of determining the differences in
costs in good weather and bad, WIN
fer and summer, long hauls and short
hauls. and the like, it is apparent to
the most casual observer that the eX-
act cost of rendering specific serv
ices cannot be determined, and that
system of rates based on exact cost
of service could not be worked out in
practice.

Chief Need Of Railways
Is Long Term
Loans
DR.. H. PARKER WILLIS, Secretary
of the Federal Reserve Board

THE federal reserve act is not a
measure which has to do with
long term investment of capt.
tai, and those who look to it as a
direct means of relief for manufac-
turing enterprises, LIKE THOSE
WHO LOOK TO 1T AS A MEANS
OF PROVIDING AGRICULTURE
AL RESOURCES, MUST INEV-
ITABLY BE DISAPPOINTED.
The direct inference is thought
which has often been suggested
within the past year or two in well
informed quarters, but which has
never been emphasized so positive
ly as today This is that above all
things else it is imperative to turn
the funding of railway obligations
into long term securities and to
place those securities in the hands
of the public.
1t has been equally obvious that
the credit of railroads was best safe
guarded and the stability of their
funded Indebtedness was most
strongly assured when the securi-
ties were widely distributed and
their bonds held by bona fde in
vestors, who bought them because
they sought safe investment for
their funds and intended to hold
them because of the income produc-
ing power Of the securities.

CLARENDON APPEALS
TO OMAHA RESIDENT
HUNTED OVER LANDS, NOW &C.
CUPlED BY CITIES, 80 YEARS
AGO-WAS REGULAR CLAREN-
DON GUEST BEFORE FIRE.

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Keeling, OF
Omaha, Neb., who have been guests
at Hotel Clarendon for the past week
or ten days, departed today for their
home in the west. The Feelings have
been in the south the greater part
of the winter, but have failed to find
any place so desirable as Hotel
Clarendon. At least that was the
statement Mr.. Keeling made to a
representative of the Daily News just
before taking his leave today.
Mr.. Keeling has been coming to
Florida nearly every winter for the
past 80 years, and was a regular
guest of the old Clarendon before
the fire. He covered many sections
in quest of game, that are now thrifty
business centers, and visited Daytona
before the Florida East Coast rail
road was established
Mr.. Keeling is interested in ranch
ing in the State of Wyoming, but
makes his permanent home in Omaha
The couple expect to visit various
places of interest in half a dozer
states, arriving home Easter week.

NATIVE OF OMAHA, NEB.,
MAKES AERIAL FLIGHT

Arthur Keeling, of Omaha, Neb., a
guest at Hotel Clarendon, was pas.
senger of Ruth Laws yesterday.
There was no wind to speak of and a
more ideal day for flying could not
have been selected. The aviator
drove her passenger as far north as
the ball park and in the opposite d.
rection as far as Bostwick Park.
Mr.. Keeling was delighted with the
fight, receiving his certificate later
at the hotel, where he remarked to a
representative of the News that 1t
was the finest thing in the way of sport
that he had ever experienced" Il
should think" said the gentleman
that every tourist in Seabreeze
would go up with Miss Law before re-
turning north. If they only knew what
grand sensation 1t is to float
through the air at a height of 1000
feet, few, if any. people would ignore
the opportunity"
Miss Law has about completed hel
contract to carry as passengers mem
| bers of the Brooklyn baseball club

CUTS ALASKAN NATIONAL
FOREST IN HALF
Presidential Proclamation Eliminates
Nearly 100000 Acres from Chu-
gach-Remainder Heavily Timbered

Washington, August 1.-the area
Of the Chugach National Forest, Alas
ka, which is to be crossed by the rail
road that the government is building
from Seward to Fairbanks, is reduced
nearly one-half by a proclamation
signed by President Wilson, returning
approximately 5,S02,000 acres to the
public domain. This action follow s
classification of the land by the Forest
Service showing that the areas involv-
ed are not Of high enough timber val
ue to warrant government protection,
and means the largest elimination of
National Forest land ever made by a
single Presidential proclamation.
The boundaries of the Forest, as re-
drawn by the Presidents proclama-
ton, now contain approximately s.
$4,000 acres, supporting about S bill
lion feet of merchantable timber. On
the area thrown out of the Forest
there is in the aggregate large
amount of timber, but it is so sparse
and scattered as to be of little or no
commercial value. The land remain
ing within the Forest, however, con-
tains the largest and most accessible
supply of timber for the development
Of the great mineral fields to the north
of Behring River, and is the region in
which the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission has been authorized to cut 50
million feet of timber for use in con-
structing the governments new rail-
road. On account of the time requir-
ed for cutting and seasoning construc-
tion timber, the Commission has had
to purchase some lumber from Wash
ington and Oregon, but as cutting has
already commenced on the Chugach, it
is expected that the Alaskan timber
will soon be serving the needs of the
railroad builders.
The lands eliminated by the pro-
clamatlon are In three large tracts;
one along the entire southerly slope of
the Chugach Mountains, the second
lying northeast of Seward, between
Resurrection Bay and Kings Bay, and
the third northwest of the Kenai
Mountains in the region around Tusta-
mena and Skilak lakes. In addition,
the towns of Hope, Sunrise, Kenai,
and Nninlchek are eliminated. Ac-
cording to the Forest Service, the
chance of locating homesteads in the
excluded lands is extremely small,
since they contain few agricultural
areas, although in some localities
there are said to be small patches
suitable for farming.

KNOCKING

Put the hammer in the locker;
Hide the sounding board likewise
Anyone can be a knocker;
Anyone can criticize.
Cultivate manner winning,
Though it hurts your face to smile
And seems awkward in the beginning
Be booster for a while.
Let the blacksmith do the pounding
That's the way he draws his pay;
You don't get cent for bounding
Saint and sinner night and day.
Just for solid satisfaction
Drop kind word in the slot,
And III warrant you'll get action
On your effort on the spot.
Kindness every time beats kicking;
Mirth is better than frown.
Don't waste your time picking
Flaws with brothers who are down.
And il isn't so distressing
If you give little boost
To the man whom fates are pressing,
When the chick comes home TO roost.
