Reynolds Springs Coup
The hearing came to a close
following a brilliant coup for the
commercial and business interests
of the Northwest.
Charles A. Reynolds, of the
Washington public service COM
mission, turned the trick, wrest-
ing from the railroads their great
est point of defense and turning
1t into strong argument in his
own favor.
Through his able cross exami-
nation, e. l.. Bevington, chair
man of the Transcontinental Pas
senger Traffic association, OF
Chicago, was forced to admit that
only II per cent of tourists who
come to the Pacific coast travel
over northern routes.
Bevington had been called by
the railroads to submit evidence
to belittle the plaintiffs case,
tending to show that only 40,701
people passed through Chicago en-
route for the coast last year.
He produced letter showing
that total.
Reynolds then forced Beving-
ton to admit from the files of Of
fetal documents sent out to car
riers by the Transcontinental
Passenger Traffic association It.
self, that 392,213 tourist tickets
were actually validated in San
Francisco alone during that sea-
son.
Every effort of the railroads
counsel to keep these figures out
of the evidence failed.
Calls IL Inaccurate
Those figures showing the
number Of validated tickets" said
F. +. Batturs, general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific
are incorrect. Bevington got
them as inaccurately as he could.
And is that the kind of infor-
nation you railroad men pay

is he in the habit of assemble
ing such incorrect data to fool his
own employers, the railroads."
Batturs did not answer. He
admitted on severe cross examina
ton, however, that his reason fol-
stating the figures were incorrect
was because the valuation clerks
were so busy during 1918 thai
they had not time to keep a com.
plete record of the number Of
tickets they handled.
How many persons Travelled
over northern routes was not as
certained, thought 1t was admit
ted by the railroads that not more
than II per cent came this way.

BE CAREFUL IN USING
SOAP ON YOUR HAIR

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for it
Is pure and entirely greaseless
It's very cheap, and beats the
most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thorough
ly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly,
and is soft, fresh looking, bright,
fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle
Besides, 1t loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff. adv.

Predict Victory
For Northwest
In Tourist Fight

SEATTLE, May 11.-Optimis-
tbs predictions are rife here today
that the knell has sounded for the
tourist monopoly enjoyed for
many years by California and
the Southwest, and that the great
scenic Northwest Is at last TO re-
ceive the great deluge of summer
travellers to which it's attractions
entitle 1t.
Many persons competent to
judge, who sat throughout the
hearing of the differential rate
case which closed yesterday, ex-
pressed themselves as confident
the Northwest interests had won
a certain victory over the South
ern Pacific railway and it's allied
lines, whose preferential joint
tourist rate from Chicago to San
Francisco and return has annual
l.. diverted thousands of travellers
from this locality.
Dates All Set
Whether the $3.50 cheaper
rate held out to tourists by the
Southern Pacific system will be
eliminated is now up to the inter
state commerce commission.

representing the commission,
