The decisions are of what are known popularly as the Pacific coast cases, heard last autumn by the commission on its six weeks’ trip ‘to the Pacific coast and intermountain territory. In every instance reductions in the existing rates complained of were made and in some_ instances they amounted to nearly 50 per cent. The commission found, through its inquiry, 2 remarkable rate. situation existing on the Pacific coast and even a more remarkable one' in the intermountain territory. This is notably true of the In the Spokane case the commission decided that present freight rates are unreasonable and excessive. Just and reasonable’ rates on both class and commodity freight were established for the future. Reno Rates- Also Reduced. In what is known as the Reno case the class and commodity rates from Sacramento, Cal., by the Southern Pa- cific between Reno, Nev., and Cecil Junction, Utah, are declared excessive. Reasonable rates are prescribed. In what was known as the “Port- land back haul” case the commission decided that the freight rates from Beattle, Tacoma and Portland to points in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana were unreasonable and a re- duction of 20 per cent was proposed. Certain class . freight rates from Eastern territory to Phoénix, Ariz., were held to be unjust and unreason- able and reductions of approximately 30 per cent were ordered. On complaint of the railroad com- mission of Nevada it was held that the class rates from Eastern defined territory to points in Nevada were un- reasonable and it was ordered that rates materially lower.be put into ef- fect by the carriers. SLAYS WOMAN AND HIMSELF Double Tragedy Enacted in a Chicago Hotel. Chicago, June 30.—A young man who gave the name of Willilam Thomp- son at the Leland hotel shot and killed a handsome young woman who was registered as his wife and committed suicide. "I tried to make a good girl of her, but it can't be done,” read a note of explanation written by the man. The young couple registered at the Leland hotel at night and left a call for 5 a. m. They appeared to be in a there heer the slightest slip anywhere along the line Rose’s lawyer would have found his stay of no use. Decision Sends Stocks Down. New York, June 30.—The stock mar- ket was seized with another spasm of weakness, following the announcement from Washington that the interstate commerce commission haa declared certain rate schedules of the Harriman and Hill lines to be excessive and un- reasonable.

And a Suggestion as to Why We Buy Things by the Dozen. Did it ever occur to you as strange that while we count by tens we buy 80 many articles by the dozen? If we ask the price of apples, oranges, oys- ters, eggs. collars, handkerchiefs and many other things we will be told so many cents or dollars a dozen, or if large quantities are wanted so much a gross, which means a dozen dozen. How do you suppose this has come about? It was this way: Nearly all savage people count by their fingers— that is, if they want to tell you they have seen two -wild beasts they will hold up two fingers, and if ten they will hold up both bands, and if twenty both hands twice, and so on. Babies also learn to count by their fingers and toes, and to many people it seems as if that were the only possible way. It is, however, rather a clumsy way, as you find out when you try to divide ten. Say, for example, you have ten apples. You can only make an equal division among two or flve persons, while if you have twelve you can give an equal number to two, three, four or six. We find the same inconven jence in dividing a dollar and often have to pay 13 cents for what should . properly cost 121 cents: If we had been bora with two, four six or eight fingers or toes, like some animals, it is possible that we should You can prevent the forment of insects Save the Cattle One preparation there is that beats all the rest for keeping flies and other in- sects off from cattle and all domestic animals.
