If one reads the complainant's brief filed before the interstate commerce commission in case :H28 brought against the Southern Pacific bv the Medford traffic bureau, and then scans the decision rendyred in the lum ber case above referred to, there seems no escape, irom the conclusion that the commission will decide in favor of Medford and order reductions in rates. The lumber case was heard at the same time as the Medford case, and it is clear from the finding of the com mission that it has follewed the line of reasoning and of evidence that is used by the complainants in the Medford case. The commission must have had tho Medford case in mind, as the complainants brief furnishes the founda tion upon which apparently, it based its structure of logic and deduction in the lumber ease. Exhibits 4 and 6 of the Medford brief include the ap proximate cost of doing business on the lines of the South ern -Pacific between Portland and San Francisco while exhibit tt shows the earnings, and under cross examina tion the movement over the Siskiyou and into Medford was developed by the statements provided by defendants. The movement of traffic over the Siskiyou was not de veloped in the lumber case. On page .TS of complainant's opening brief, ease 362S, aiiei' reviewing uie movement or iraitio over rue smski you and the earnings of the Southern Pacific Company, Oregon lines, ocelli's the following: "The mileage south of the Oregon line, main Hue to San Francisco on a road mileage division, would receive half of the revenue of the through traffic, so that the freight earnings in Cali fornia must approximate the earnings in Oregon. No other conclusion is deducible than that the rates at which the through traffic is handled tire profitable, otherwise the operating expenses would show a much higher ratio. "In its decision in the lumber ease the commis sion says that it "believes earnings of California end of tho southern Pacific are practically the same as those, of the Oregon, section of the road," and that the "commission also finds that the lumber business over the Southern Pa cific from the Willamette Valley to San Francisco yields handsome profits above cost of transacting it on the basis which it was adopted." On page 6 of the Medford exhibit G is a table showing comparisons of earnings for different lines for the year 1909, which were the latest figures available at the time of the hearing, in which are included the railroad sys tems of the Southern Pacific Company, the Northwestern system ,the Milwaukee system the Burlington system and the Illinois Central system and others. The commission has used this basis of comparison in arriving at the profi table operation of the Southern Pacific Compairy, the only difference being in the year. Unless the commission completely reverses itself it must find in favor of Medford in both of her cases now pending before the commission. I the commission finds that 17.5 cents the hundred is a reasonable rate for G22 miles, 25 cents for 722 miles, as it did in the lumber case, it can hardly be inst and not find that 54 cents is a reason able first class .rate from Medford to Dunsmuir for 120 miles, and that the commodity rates askqd for in case 3628 are hot unreasonable for a 418 mile haul. If this line of reasoning holds good for traffic hauled 622 miles over the Siskiyou grade it ought to hold good for a 418 mile haul. .Nor should Medford under tho law, as has been pointed out in ilie brief, pay a higher charge for a shorter haul than Portland does for the longer haul. king she looks very large indeed, Her face is almost handsome, but it has a s6ur, discontented expression Which shows through oven her frozen smile. Her features are strong and determined Her figure is good, She does hot look hor 40 odd yeirs -at least, not in tho paint, pow dor and enamel Which she wears on dress parade. - "An Englishman will tell yoiW.hat the kingconsider ed just as a king is merely n symbol. King (leorgo looks the part, lie certainly does not look iko a man of flesh and blood. The queen looks more like a woman thah the king looks like a man, but. not much more. What they most rcseinble-rwhen they appear in public at. any rate is two highly expensive, exquisitely painted, beautifully turned out mechanical toys." , And dolls is about all they amount to in the govern nient of the empire.

Kidney Troubles Attack .Mcdfortl Men and Women, Old and Young, ROYALTY AT CLOSE RANGE HOW the British coronation impressed, many obser vers iS'fihown in the following from a correspondent who witnessed the pomp and panoply of the medeival ceremony, revived to fool a people clamoring for the abolition of nobility: "Slowly the landau rolled along. In it sat what look ed like two dolls groomed to an almost supernatural de gree of perfection, but only dolls. There seemed nothing human about them. Their eyes had a vacant, glassy stare. King and Quceii alike, they were painted and pow dered and enamelled until their faces looked like china. The lips of each were twisted into the semblence of a smile a faint frozen siriile. "As the landau drew nearer each of its two occupants were seen to be bowing, slightly but constantly, first to the right and then to tho left. They Were automatic, mechanical bows, such as a wax figure might make if it had the necessary machinery inside. As the king bowed alid tUrlied his head from side to side, he kept incessant ly raising his hand to the peak of his admiral's cocked hat. The queen only bowed and turned her head ceaseless ly from side to side and smiled frozen smiles. The bows were about fifteen seconds apart. Seemingly the machin ry was adjusted to four bows per minute, with a corres ponding number of right and left turns, of the head. '"The king is a small man painfully small. "Common" is the best word to describe his looks. Only common is not a strong enough word. His majesty is so common as to be positively conspicuous. The East End of London swarms with men of just such faces and just such figures. The king has them, however, in the superlative degree. His chin recedes sharply. The pointed beard which he has cultivated to conceal this recession fails of its pur pose. It recedes, too. His eyes look unspeakably bored and weary. They have in them also a certain suggestion of appeal.
