BISKRA.
DISKRA has the air Of a head waiter
u in a large hotel 1t exists TO serve
the traveller. and its services vary in
Difference cnd value in proportion to
the tip which by the way is bar
gained for and paid in advance.
The little Barbary coast town serves
the tourist faithfully. and its reward
is in keeping with its ambition. Il Is
acquiring the much desired gold. but
it has already lost its own individu-
atty and native charm Its charms to-
day are so artificial that the drab.
commonplace reality that lies just be-
low me surface is scarcely hidden By
the pageant produced for the foreign
ers benefit
The Moorish coffee house, with
Arab customers and Turkish atmos-
phere seem like set scenes in a stage
production. while the far famed dane
ing girls obviously exhibit their skill
for the pleasure OF the foreigners
alone without the foreign visitor.
Biskra would be an ordinary oasis
town on the edge OF the desert.
However. the town seems 20 have
its tourist trade well in hand. Since
Robert Hichens's Garden OF Allah"
was written with BisIsra as back
ground. many people have come to
visit the scene OF the story. others
come on doctors orders. for the
climate is said TO be beneficial TO
rheumatism and otaer diseases. The
town has made itself as attractive as
possible TO these. and 50 others come
merely 20 see the sights which are
widely advertised. Biskrr viii do
anything TO please the visitor. and
the oriental mind has in this instance
understood the tourist temperament
perfectly. Biskra PLAYS its game

Copper Producers Appeal

THE mining and smelling corporations certainly seem TO
have good case in the complaint they have filed with
the interstate commerce commission attacking the
freight rates put into effect by the United States railroad
administration.
The compliments TecIte that while the railroad admin
istrations increase rates supposed TO have been
only p per cent the actual advance smeter products
amounted 10 per cent Any such advance, If that Is
true is outrageous unjusfIed and enough to parayze
smelling industry The smelling industry IS naturally
affected almost entirely by such increases since they apply
only on the product Of the smelteTs the
from mines TO shelters However the mines have
plenty ground for complaint in the rates charged for
transportation OF from mines to smelters.
These rates rest the heavily by reason Of the
governments having taken off the fixed price copper
allowing II drop from &c cents a little than
half that figure It VIII be noted that although the gov
acted in way that resulted IN practically cutting
half the price Of copper It did not meet the issue by
reducing freight rates copper coITespondingly.
Perhaps that natural view Of the fact that the
railroad administration is between the devil and the
ought cut rates such this where the rates
manfesty teo high, but the deficit it already faces IS
great It is prompted to raise all rates rather than lower
any Of them Such is the frantic effort of the railroad ad
to make kind Of showing of success for
its scheme Of operation
Although there IS small probability that appeal
would have much effect the railroad administration but
the interstate commission IS less concerned about
invisible profits and operating deficits and It isor any
how It used to begreatly interested in seeing that the
public got square deal Maybe 1t viii act favorably TO
the copper producers IN this instance.
