Express Ruling Opposed.

AN effort is to be made by the Mill
merry Chamber OF Commerce of the
United States to secure a rehearlng be-
fore the United States Railroad Admin
istration to present certain facts In con-
nection with the proposed new regula-
lions OF the American Railway Express
Company. which provide for the use by
shippers of outside containers OF differ
ent weights. Various trade organiza-
lions fought the proposition for several
weeks and the committee In charge re-
ported last week that the fight had been
ipst, as the Railroad Administration had
SIDED with the express company.
The millinery trade win voice its OBJ
sections particularly against the proposal
that containers must be made Of straw
board of 175 pounds test, the conten-
tion OF the hat manufacturers being that
a board meeting a test of 40 to 15O
pounds is sufficiently heavy.

Prices are said to be In the other direc-

IT Is reported that there is multiplied

lines of knit goods, as that merchandise

months later as most lines were several
weeks ago, before the country went
from one extreme to another under the
psychological influence of an morgan
ICED movement to reyamp the law Of

OPERATORS SAVED
PARIS FROM FAMINE

PARIS.-Vigilant telegraph op-
orators in the central Office here
saved Paris from a possible famine
during the recent food crisis pre-
cipitated by the profteers.
Following disorders around the
central markets, where consumers
raided the stands and overthrow
them, scattering vegetables, fruit,
fish and other food to the ground
because of the high prices. a num-
Der of commission merchants sent
urgent kilograms to producers out
side of Paris, telling them to hold
back their goods until further or
ders. Many of the dispatches indi-
Gated that, owing to general de-
cline in prices, the merchants were
Withholding their goods from the
market
The kilograms numbered about
one thousand. They had gone past
the wickets into the operating rooms,
when the operator who was work
ing one of the wires to Brittany
noted a batch of them cancelling
orders for butter. Now, he had paid
ten francs for pound of butter
that morning. He consulted with
colleagues operating wires leading
to fish, vegetable, fruit and other
centers and their tables were loaded
down with similar kilograms. Not
one of the messages was sent.
In statement issued subsequent
ly the government said that it took
the responsibility for the action of
the telegraphers.

TOWN BOOSTING.

Every town has certain number
of obstructionists, truthfully re-
marks the Valdez Miner. In many
cases they do not mean to hinder
the progress Of destiny, but are
doubling Thomases, with little con-
fdence in their town, their environ
men, or themselves. They are so
constituted that they must be
shown before they believe, and by
the time they are shown it is too
late to take advantage of oppor-
tunities presented.
If every Alaskan town would
choose the most optimistic man in
it, levy an assessment to provide
him with funds for advertising, and
then paddock the pessimistic mouths
and throw the key into the well,
good times would be advanced from
three months to a year. Other per
sons hindering the growth of a city
are too mean to want to see their
neighbors get ahead. They hold
