woods were costing the grower about
25 cents to produce.
III. B. Schaefer presented a series
of tables showing comparative rates
and freight results. The average Mon
tana rate on wool in sacks is $274
cents per cwt. to Boston, amounting
to $736.79 per car and on wool in
bales $3.50 per cwt. or $S95.43 per
car, in comparison with Seattle rate
of $1.661a per cwt. or only S596.74
per car
The proposal of the Montana rail-
road commission Of a rate of $1.59
cents in sacks shows a car revenue
per mile of 1771 cents and tof S1.35
on baled wool car revenue per mile
of 20.O6 cents, against a coast rate

small portion of his talk.
At 10 "ltu hI.
that the representatives of the state
rail board and of the Montana wool
industry refrain from uttering here and
now the convictions which they enter
tain concerning the fourth section of
the interstate commerce act. by the
terms of which the carriers may be per-

and less expensive haul over the same
line, in the same direction-by the
terms Of which it is now proposed to
charge rate of S135 per 100 pounds

to Boston, while the identical ship
ment from Helena to Boston must pay
$3.50. Candidly, Mr.. Examiner. the
wool growers of Montana, who have
always operated on the principle of live

of law which not only tolerates but is
constructed to produce such a result
is absolutely indefensible on principle
and they know that it works for the
destruction Of their industry in prac-
tice."

Berlin, Oct. 2O.-Heavy oil is the secret of the meIodious tfmbre of Gre mona violinS. according to Professor Koch, of Dresden, who will start a workshop for production of artificial master violins in Middle Germany this winter.

 Professor Koch discredits the old theory that age, kind, or varnish of the wood of the violins being played for years by prominent virtuosi have anything to do with the sweet tones of the Italian viola
 The resonance is particularly due to the absolute regularity of vibrations caused by wood of extraordinary density. This density is attained by painting the violins with a mixture of pidly-drying oils, which penetrate the wood, thus rendering it especially
