SHERIFF HERE SATURDAY.

Sheriff Frank l.. Magic was in
the city Saturday in compan5 with
several others and visited among
the voters for a few hours. Mr..
Magic has been handicapped in get
ting out among the people during
the campaign by reason of the
large number of criminal cases
which have kept him occupied for
several weeks and in fact since he
took charge of the Office He says
he has strong opposition but has
hopes of pulling out with a big
plurality at the polls next Monday.

new RAILROAD
TIMBER RATE.
WHAT is Il LOG?" SETTLED
BY THE RAILROAD COM
MISSIONERS.

Large quantities of timber, now
going to waste IN northern Mime
sofa, will become marketable as
result OF an order of the Minnesota
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion defining Short Logs. Hither-
to timber products, which could not
be classed as logs, took the freight
rate of pulp wood, the rate for
which was considerable higher than
for logs. The result has been that
much low grade timber, not suit
able for paper making and which
was too small to be shipped as
logs, but which could be suitable
for box making was unstable be-
cause of .he freight rates.
This has been a hardship on
the settlers in northern Minnesota
as it has prevented them from dis
posing of some of their excess tim
Der, which could be used to adj
vantage by box factories, if the
prices were right. The matter of
re-classifying logs was presented
to Commissioner Ivan Bowen, OF
the Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission, at a public hear
ing at Duluth, May 10th. The
testimony disclosed that the public
interest demanded that some provi-
sion be made for handling timber
products suitable for box making.
The order in this matter creates
a new class of timber. products to
be known as "Shor. Logs" and
directs that they take the same
rate as logs. Short Logs" are de-
fined to be timber, rough as from
the tree, suitable for box making
purposes, and not heretofore de-
fined as pulp wood or logs, and
not less than fit. in, and not
more than 10 ft. in length and
not destined for pulp making pur
poses.
Under the old classification such
timber products took the pulp rate
of Az cents per one hundred
pounds for a distance of so miles.
A carload of 100000 pounds would
therefore cost $4,000 in freight
charges. Under the new classified
ton the rate would be 31a cents
a carload, clear saving of $1,000
on a single CARLOAD, thereby making
q former waste material a source
of profit.
This order does not affect the
shipments over the Duluth & Iron
Range as the rate on this class of
material was lowered over a year
ago to the figure named. 1t can
also be said that it was due to this
action on the part of the Duluth
& Iron Range that the matter was
taken up by the state Commission
ers and their decision arrived at.

New York Average Lowest.
Comparisons made were for Iowa,
California and New York city with
averages for all white children In the
United States. California stood first
and New York city last in this COM
parison. The proportion Of children
whose parents were born In the

land with 1T per cent" Nr
The same three groups were studied
to determine whether In different sec
lions there are significant differences
In stature and weight.

the Iowa children exceed the average

ifornia children averaged two-fifths
Of an inch taller and three-Quarters

New York city children show half an
inch deficiency In stature.
The tables show that the average
boy in the United States seventy-one
months old is 43.1 inches tall, while
the average New York city boy Of the

In weight the figures are: Average

II Christ Conducted Plant.
Mr.. Eagan pointed out two Of the
dominant ideas of the program Of the
teachings of Christ, as he understands
them. One is that If Christ were to
run a plant he would:
Give every man and woman year
round job; no layoffs; no short time |;
no reductions In pay at any time.
Give every man a living wage, one
that would make him and his wife
and children comfortable at least.
And this has been strictly followed

round the employees have worked full

Birmingham were In annual session.

and the time for the election of officers
bad come. A member arose and pro-
posed the name OF John j. Eagan,
prominent In business, philanthropy,
and In reform projects In the South.
Born with the silver spoon In his mouth
he had increased his fortune by wise
investments and sage business deals,
and had become known as leader In
all movements for the betterment of
his fellow man.
Mr.. Eagan was unanimously elected
president or this great concern, one of
the largest and the most prosperous In
the South, aud one marked by the good
will evident always between employer
and employees.
Then another member took the floor
to propose that from this time On 1t be
formally made platform Of the COM
pany that employer and employee:
do unto others as you would have
them do unto you. Follow in the foot

Motion Unanimously Adopted.
There was mild surprise only ex.
pressed as the motion was seconded
There were no questions as to Its wis.
dom. There was only the motion ia
adopt made and the second. The vote
in Its favor was unanimous. And when
this most unusual action Of the com.
pany directors became known, II
seemed to embarrass the new president
that he was called upon to explain and
almost defend the new standard OF
action
Il don't zee why anybody should fee
that II is unusual, this action Of ours,
he said, land I really don't like to tall
about It. The directors didn't care tC

Mr. Eagan asserted HIS belief that Il

He stated 1t as his belief that one o.
