 The testimony was taken in pro ceedings brought by rice m1llers ana growers in an effort to secure the same rates for rice enjoyed by other grains The case resulted in the commission establishing rate TOT rice 125 per cent greater than that in effect for grain, which wa sin ef- feet a 25 per cent. reduction Tn rates for the rice men.
 Reviewing the evidence taken at uhe numerous hearings connected with the rice cases the commission declared that 'the rice growing ter ritory in the State of California may be described generally the Sacra- mento Valley beginning at a point a short distance north and west of sac ramento and extending as far north as Gerber, small section near Bedding and also in the San Joaquin Valley in the vicinity of Dos Palos, Madera, San Joaqin and Famosa.'
 Rice Crops Heavy.
 Tn the Sacramento Valley, in I 912, there were planted to rice 400 acres, and in 1915 15,000 acres In 1916 the rice acres totalled 72,ooO acres. There were in 1920 in the state 175,- 900 acres planted to rlce. nee The ne. 1918. 145,0OO.

 Compared to Grain.
 One of the witnesses testified at a hearing that there are now about 2,oo0,0 acres Of grain planted in California of-which 100000 acres are in the Sacramento Valley. The yield of wheat per acre in California, it was declared, is about 10 sacks, or about 1.40O pounds The barley yield ahout 20 sacks, or 2,O0O pounds, as comDared with 35 sacks of rice per acre weighing about $500 pounds.
 As to the relative value of the commodities the testimony Of the eN- nert witnesses was to the effect that ..the value of wheat rose from so cents per 100 pounds in 1897 to the

road to recovery, is still far from a well man and thus far he has not shown capability of exerting efforts, such as would be required in climbing the stairs to the inaugural platform. In the White House the President uses an elevator. An elevator was installed for him on the presidential yacht Mayf1ower. There is an ele- vator in his new home. When he attends the theater he 1nters by side door which eliminates the neceS- sity of climbing steps.
 After riding to the Capitol with Presid dent-elect Harding, it is believ- ed that the President will either be taken to the elevators in the Senate side of the Capitol where he can readily reach the Presidents room, and sign such papers as are there for his signature, or he will be driven directly to his new home without waiting for the ceremonies to be completed.

 ''It is thus established says the Railroad Commissions opinion in the matter, that rice is comparatively of higher value than grain and that the acreage in the Sacramento Val ley of rice to grain is about 1 to G. However, we also have the condition that the rice industry is constantly increasing in magnitude, but at the same time it is not expected to ever reach the volume of grain. Rice may be produced on land that was heretofore of no practical value for any other purpose.'

TUITION COSTS MORE
 THAN STUDENTS PAY.

Wellesley, Mass.-1t~ pays women to be educated, but does it pay in ac- tual cash to educate them? The question arises from a scanning of a recent report made by the treasurer of Wellesley College, where 1,552 girls are getting their higher learn ing. The fees from students have consistently Jagged behind the costs of tuition and residence. The fee in 1880 was $250. Last year it was $650. The cost for the same year on the other hand, was $S07.

OIL STATION TO BE
 OPENED AT UNALASkA

Vessels plying in the Trans-Paciic and Alaska trade will soon be able to replenish their supply of fuel oil at Unalaska as the result of construc- tion Of tanks with a capacity of 2O,- 900 barrels at that point by the AL aska Commercial Company, it was learned in Seattle today, says the Seattle Times of August 8. Repre- sentatives of the company said the tanks will be supplied with bulk oil and distillate this month, and ready to serve vessels plying between Seat tie and ports in the Orient and in the western and Boring Sea trade. The Alaska Commercial Company has coal bunkers in Unalaska with capacity of 5000 tons. but has not handled fuel oil or distillate in that part of the north. The new oil station will be a great convenience
