By DR.. r. J. EDWARDS.

Now that the Pacific roalroads have
been constructed and the almost i'm
measurable increase in wealth through
the development of the country they bi'
sected is known to the people, the strug-
giles and difficulties and seemingly i'm
movable obstacles which those who built
these roads met with and overcame have
been forgotten.
Time has softened many OF the resent

roads were built, so that 1t is possible

he met in New York city: 'I always felt
a little sorry for Tom Scott. He was
a good fellow and I liked him, but had
to beat him when 1 was building the
Southern Pacific railroad and did fee
sorry for him."
1 heard, some years later, the story
which was behind the comment that Mr.
Huntington made which reflected his
feeling of regret that he was compelled
to get the better of Tom Scott
Mr.. Scott, after a long and very sue

William Edwards, charged with assault

Merry: The treatment of superfuous
hair depends entirely upon the condi-
tton of the hair. If it is merely a soft.
light down, repeated applications of
equal parts of peroxide of hydrogen
and ammonia will dry and bleach II so
completely that in time it will drop
out. For the removal of a more per-
sistent growth, a strong depilatory
is necessary. Such a remedy should be
used with great care and never with
out expert advice and supervision.

A new
ATTACK

Chairman Charles A. Reynolds
of the public service commission
Is leaving nothing unturned in
the fight before the interstate
commerce commission to wipe out
the $3.50 preferential rate by
which the southern railroads are
robbing the northwest Of tourist
travel.
The Southern Pacific, the Union
Pacific and their ally, the O.-W.
r. q NJ, are being pinched in. on
all sides by broadside attacks
from which It appears they can
not escape.
With the states OF the north
west thoroughly aroused, Chair
man Reynolds today announced
an additional line of attack
through the Interstate commerce
commission law of 1910.
May Prescribe Division
A section of this law provides
that whenever railroads or other
common carriers refuse or neglect
to establish voluntarily through,
or joint rates to any point, the
Interstate commerce commission
Is empowered, after a hearing, to
establish such joint rates.
These rates may be establish
ed as the maximum to be charged,
and the commission Is given the
power to prescribe the division of
such rates under which the
through routes may be operated.
VIII BE Asked To DO IL
All this may be done by the
commission on it's own initiative,
whether or not a complaint is
made to 1t.
The commission has neer ex-
ercised this power so far as
through rates to the northwest Is
concerned, says Reynolds. 1t will
be asked to exercise it right now.
The northwest already has
asked the interstate commission
to wipe out the discrimination
and advantages which the south
ern lines have been using against
II.

OF
ALBANIA
AT STAKE

ROME, Jan. 2S.-The allies to-
day are evacuating Albania, with
the exception of Avlona and the
immediate hinterland. The Aus
TRANS and Bulgarians are ap-
preaching Avlona from the north
and east.
Official dispatches indicate
that one OF the most important
battles of the Balkan struggle
may begin in a fortnight. The
Italians are fortifying the city
against attack, while 1t is expect
ed the Austrian fleet will shell
Avlona. A terrific naval battle is
very probable.
Within 10 days the Teutonic
occupation of the entire Balkan
peninsula except Greece will be
complete. The allies are deter
mined to hold Avlona like Saloni-
ka, because of the great strategic
value of the bases in conducting
future campaigns.
/. The talians are evacuating Du-
Tazze. Announcement of the
Austrian occupation of the port is
hourly expected. The Austrians
are moving toward Plannif to
unite with the Bulgars who are
moving westward in the Elbassan
district.
Officials believe the Teutons
have abandoned the proposed Sa-
lonika assault until Avlona is at
tackled. Greece has long wanted
southern Albania, hence a Teu-
tonic success will have a marked
political effect on King Constan-
tines attitude.
