FORCED RAIL LAYING
DECLARED ILLEGAL
Interstate Commerce Commission
Right Is Denied by Act
of Federal Court.

BY the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Greg, January 30.-The
authority of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to require a railroad COM
pany to build lines against its wishes
was denied in a Federal court decision
on file here today.
The court upheld the Oregon Wash
ington Railroad e. Navigation Co., which
sued to annul the order of the COM
mission requiring 1t to build a 185-mile
cross-State line from Crane to Crescent
Greg.
The decision held that the commission
may not require railroads to construct
new lines in territory they do not pro-
fess to serve and that in the present
case the Oregon Washington Railroad
g. Navigation Co. did not profess to
serve the territory through which the
proposed road would run.
Attorneys connected with the case said
they expected it would be carried to the
United States Supreme Court.

presidential elections have been set

PINE PHILOSOPHY
BY the PINE PHILOSOPHER

Slogans are one of our national
characteristics and one of them was
brought home to me today in true
American manner. The first national
slogans remember were, Remember
the Maine, An apple a day, and Say
it with Flowers" They all seemed to
have fulfilled their purpose. Then the
famous prune state came out with
A "SUNKIST" product. 1t went over,
as we say in the language of the
street. 1t was good product and a
good slogan and the public gobbled
it up, but did you ever stop to think
that the same Sun Kisses Pine county
as Kisses our western neighbor and
probably does the act as kindly and
as often as they brag of. Our county
is only as good as we think it is
If we are enthused with the idea that
it is the best under the sun, then
look out for us because we will lead
the parade. 1t is easy to convince
others if we are firmly convinced our
selves.
Slogans seem to work themselves
into the operation and spirit of the
corporations or industries that formu-

late them. Transportation industries
are still paying for encroachment of
public good will which they violated
forty years ago. Now one advertises,
"A Good Railroad" street car COM
pany says, use the Street Cars and
Tell Us How to Make Them More
Attractive For You" If you will take
the time to send in a constructive
criticism to one of these companies
you will be surprised at the prompt
ness, consideration and thought which
these executives will devote to your
suggestion. The public be pleased is
the, main idea for big business now
Let's boost our own baliwick
But to come back to the incident
that started this outburst The slo-
gan of the company I was doing bust
ness with was, I'VE MAKE GOOD"
Like the Two Black Crows on their
little farm in Rome, where the white
horses ate more than the dark horses.
I've figured and figured and the only
way l can figure it out, is, they must
be right, for they sure made good

SPECIAL ROAD FUND
WILL GIVE MANY JOBS
Projects to be Widely Distributed
Over State and Finished
Before Sept. l.

The work of preparing plans and
letting contracts for the extra high.
way work made possible by the emer-
gency federal aid appropriation will
be rushed as rapidly as possible, &C
cording to Commissioner C. N. Bah
cock, so that actual work can start
as soon as weather permits in the
spring.
The allotment to Minnesota under
the emergency appropriation is ST.
249,993. This is in addition to the
regular federal aid allotment of 49,
497, 306.
Minnesota intends to comply with
both the letter and spirit of the act
of Congress, and the relief of unem-
ployment will be the first thought in
planning all work to be done with the
special fund. The work will be dis
tributed as widely over the state as
possible, in projects which can be
started early and completed before
Sept. 1. The federal aid provided by
the special fund can be applied only
in reimbursing the state for work
done before Sept. 1.
The emergency fund is not addi.
tional highway aid, but must be re-
imbursed without interest to the fed
eral government over a period of five
years commencing with 1888, from
future highway aid allotments.
If any states fail within a reason
able period to claim any part of their
allotment, it may be reapportioned to
other states capable of using such
funds before Sept. 1, 1881.
While definite plans have not been
completed, Mr.. Babcock states that the
greater portion of the special fund
will go into additional paving.

THE more we know about dietetics the
more we appreciate the value of
fruit. We have gone back to the days
Of our prehistoric ancestors, In a way, in
our relation to fruit. Our early ances-
tors knew no other sweets than fruits
and honey. Indeed, until compare
lively few years ago when cane sugar
was first known, fruit was highly valued
because Of its sweetness.
Now, when we are told to give up
sugar, we turn to fruit as harmless
sweet. We are going back to the habits
Of our ancestors. We reach for peach
now when we crave something sweet
and don't want candy or desserts.
Fruits are specially valuable IN the
diet because they are such good source
of mineral salts and of vitamines.
Peaches are surely one Of the most
popular Of all fruits. They run q close
race with oranges as the favorite Ameri-
can fruit. They are developed to q
high degree Of perfection in this coun-
try whsre, strangely enough, they are
grown In orchards. whereas in France
and England, from which countries we
got our knowledge of them, they are
grown against walls-for protection
against the cold.
Our word for the peach comes from
the Greek word for Persia, the country

and, since the wee interstices between
threads Is thus filed In, added warmth
IS gained. These short hairy fronds
give the dull appearance to WOODEN
cloths. 1t can be eliminated under
steam pressure or by friction.
When wooden goods - given satin
finish as Is seen In such textiles a.
brcadcioth, billiard cloth, felt. etc. II
has been put through the steam pres
sure process. When WOODEN goods, o.
the twisted yarn goods known e worst
ed, loses its inherent soft. dull finish
through wear, friction Is the cause. II
may Be supplemented by pressure also
Yt Will be noted that garments worn
shiny have these places chiefiy on the
seats OF trousers and corresponding po-
sitiorls Of skirts and at elbows, GUNS
and lower arm portions These are the
parts which get the most friction plus
pressure
Hard brushing with short, stiff
bristled brush will force up fronds
pressed down and roughen the textile,
thus removing the shine. Dampen the
cloth slightly first. This Is q home
remedy that can be done several times
without detriment. It wears the threads
an ininitesnfal bit each time it Is done
and eventually would wear q hole in
the goods. Probably by that time the
rest Of the material would be getting
shabby, however.
Expert cleaners have a machine for
raising the nap, and this they use
whenever a garment sent them requires
It. The theory Of the machine is the
same as the home method. The nap Is
raised most successfully when the places
are steamed and the work done while
the goods has the warm moisture in 1t.
An oId-fashioned remedy to take
away the gloss from worn wooden gar
mentS was to rub the places with o
cloth dipped In cold tea. To insure
best results with this method, give the
shiny places a rub with the short bris-
ties stiff brush also.

PEACH AS AUGUST TREAT

from which they first got peaches
the country that introduced them to
Europe. But China grew them years
before the Greeks learned about them
from Persia and 1t is In China that
they probably originated.
Peaches are at their best at this
time Of year-or, If they aren't, they
viii soon be- And at their best they
are delicious raw. To be sure, there are
lots Of good ways Of cooking them, but
nothing quite equals luscious, ripe
peach eaten out of hand.
AS q race we don't very much like
to bother with eating fruit Just cas- Is
at table. In England and In France
raw fruit Is usual part Of many
meals. Raw fruit, just washed and
dried in the kitchen and served In its
skin at table. Each individual takes
the trouble to pare and eat 1t, with
special fruit spoons, knives or forks.
But we may put big dishes OF the
most delicious fruit on our tables and
pass them to our family and friends
Everybody admires the beauty of the
fruit as centerpiece-bu does any
body eat 1t? Most of them would
rather have a fruit pie or fruit pud-
ding, q fruit cup or q fruit salad, al
pared and arranged and cooked In the
kitchen, than trouble with the most
luscious unprepared fruits.
