The Monte Vista Creamery Com
pany is endeavoring to build up a
good export trade for their butter
and returns from a trial shipment
recently made to Chicago are quite
satisfactory. The shipment scored
81 points-13 points being deducted
for imperfect flavor-and giving the
highest credit for color, salt and
workmanship. The imperfect flavor
referred to, was caused by the mixing
OF warm cream with that of previous
separations, and we are advised that
1t is very important for each cream
separation to be cooled separately
with the lid of the retainer removed.
Those who bring cream to the cream

JITNEYS MUST BE-
CONSIDERED NOW
Interesting Ruling by the Pub
lie Service Commission in
Deciding Mt. Holly Case

The principle that competition from
jitneys and efforts to remove sources
of complaint must be taken into con-
sideration in deciding cases brought
against street railway companies was
laid down by the Public Service Com
mission in an opinion rendered last
night in dismissing the complaint of
J. A. McGonegal and others of Mt.
Holly Springs against the Cumberland
Railway Company. The company
took over the Carlisle and Mt. Holly
line and complaint was filed against
the condition of the roadbed, equip
ment and cars, charging discrimina-
ton and alleging that cars were con-
gested. The discrimination COM
plant was removed by a change in
rates and efforts to improve property
have been made.
In regard to the crowding COM
plant the opinion written by Com
missioner Killing says: This is one of
the problems that the managements of
street railways have yet to satisfac-
torily solve. Like conditions exist in
many places, especially in centers of
large population. We might remark
in passing that in addition to tho
limited amount OF receipts received by
this company on account of which 1t
is handicapped and restricted in fur
nishing more equipment and operating
its road, it appeared to have come in
contact with the so-called jitney serv-
Ice, as during the morning and eve
ming hours, when il does the greater
part of its business and, therefore, re-
ceives the greater part Of its revenue,
the jitney has appeared on the scene
and has to a certain extent lessened
tn receipts, as we'll as the patronage of
this company. and we are. therefore,
of the opinion that while the condi-
tions existing on this line during the
morning and evening hours are not
what they might be, yet under all the
circumstances they are all that can
be expected of a street railway COM
pany operating under like conditions"
The commission also handed down
an opinion by Commissioner Brecht
in which the borough of Benson was
denied a certificate to build its own
power plant. This is the White Oak
case which attracted some attention
because after its controversy with
the White Oak the borough made a
contract with the Penn Electric Ser
vice Company. The latter contract is
approved.

compelled to do likewise. The other
masked man then took the throttle
and as though well acquainted with
the operation of the engine ran the
train mile or two farther west
Here the robbers went through the
mail car. paying particular attention
to the registered mail which they
looted completely and they then de-
serted the train, going across the hills
in the direction of the Ohio river. A
short time later the engine and mail
car were found by a track walker
where they had been left.
Meantime the crew, left with the
remainder of the train, had been try
ing to find the engine. They knew
nothing of what had happened ex-
oept that the engine and mail car had
disappeared toward the west. no at
tempt having been made by the high
waymen to disturb the sleeping pas
sengers. Men were sent forward and
soon located the fireman fastening
bacl. to give the alarm, Engineer
Helms having gone on in search of his
engine. He found the locomotive on
the rails, with the fire drawn from
under the boiler and the valves so ar
ranged as to prevent any accident be-
cause of increasing steam pressure.
Cannot Give Description
More than two hours elapsed from
the time of the robbery, about q
O'CLOCK until the news could be sent
to division headquarters at Parkers-
burg, and to Grafton, the other near
est town with telegraphic communica-
ton at that hour. But Immediately
railroad and county officers were
active. Messages were sent in all di-
rections, a special train carrying de-
tectives was sent to the scene of the
robbery, and posses aggre egating more
than hundred men were securing the
country before daybreak in Harrison
Doderidge and Pleasant counties.
Engineer Helms said he could not
give a good description Of the men
except that they were fairly we'll
dressed and seemed to be experienced
in the handling of a locomotive.
Railroad authorities believe that the
men when they left the train hurried
over the hills to a road near Central
Station where they had an automobile
and hastened in the direction of St
Mary's on the Ohio river between
Wheeling and Parkersburg.
The amount of booty secured by the
robbers is unknown here. but it was
said that the registered mail usually
carried by the train was very valu-
able, and another report said that in
the express car which the robbers did
not take with them down the track
was s2,000,000 in gold. The report
could not be traced to any reliable
source.
Central Station is in Doderidse
county, midway between Parkersburg
and Clarksburg, W. Va. 1t is a stop
for through trains on the Baltimore
and Ohio only for taking water.
