Metal Trade today says: The first
reaction Of the iron and steel industry
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's ruling tn the rate case is that
an average increase Of per cent on
today's attenuated volume of traf1c
will not produce sufficient additional
revenue to stimulate railroad buying
appreciably. Generally the steel stu
alton Is that there are no further de-
clines in demand or production at the
moment and any change Is on the side
Of improvement. but this improvement
Is extremely mild.

BEAVERS RETURN TAKEN
AS ANOTHER INDICATION
THAT DRY SPELL BROKEN

Enter another sign that the dry spell
has been broken
A small stream IN the vicinity Of
LewiStown was the home Of fair sized
colony of beavers UP to few years ago.
Residents In the area noticed the
beaver population declining until all
were gone, although the stream still
had good food supply. But the year
after the last beaver was gone the
stream dried up and there was talk
that the beavers had bunch"
The stream remained dry during the
last two or three years, and It was
not until this spring that water coursed
along the old bed again.
And the beavers are back. YeSsirree,
they're back and busy rebuilding their
homes and dams Those who watch
nature for possible hints regarding the
future are saying the return Of the
beavers presages the return Of wet
years.

NEW YORK, July 23-Now that we
have got the Olympic games planted

it,, we must set about organizing a
good strong team for 1910.
Our last team was pretty weak. We
had some fast runners, sure enough,
and some jumpers and vaulters, but
the Egyptian team put its finger on our
weakness when it demonstrated that
we could not eat worth a nickel. A
feebler squad of trenchermen never
represented the United States.
There was one Egyptian, weight
litter named Mohammed Fey, who
could ravage the equivalent of one acre
OF potatoes at sitting. He also could
lift weights, but he did not care much
about that. Fey was a very angry
Egyptian when he learned that they
score no points for speed and stamina
at the trough.
what kind Of tournament is that?"
he demanded. Pass the potatoes.
The Finnish authorities tell me that
eating (team and individually will come
into its own at the next Olympics.
So will talking, over the sprint and
marathon routes. In fact, they have
asked me to name squad of American
athletes to represent the country in
both these fields, as we'll as the field
of haberdashery. What these alert
promoters are building up to Is new

Robinson and Miss Clarke are choices
to win their semi-fnal matches and
meet for the crown.
Robinson Barely Misses Win.
Judson prevented the possibility Of
all-Washington finals in both divisions
by eliminating Stan Robinson in three
sets yesterday after the Army lieu
tenant had match point II times in
the 10th game of the second set.
Robinson, however, had staged great
comeback to win the first set, Ga,

Welsh had little more than q workout
