Question of Long and- Short Rani
Will Be Argued Later at Xa
tlonal CapitalOther Valley
Issues Heard Today.
Testimony In justification of the ap
plication of a higher rate on ship
ments from San Francisco to Southern
Oregon points than from San Francisco
to Portland was offered before Frank
lin K- Lane, chairman of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, by rate
experts of the Southern Pacific Com
pany at a hearing- in the Federal build
ing here yesterday. The hearing was
held on the demand of the business
men of Medford that the ruling of the
Commission, providing that a greater
charge should not be made for a short
than for a longer haul over the same
line, .be enforced. Resisting this
prayer, the Southern Pacific Company
filed with the Commission a petition
asking to be relieved from modifying
Its tariffs to comply with the recent
order of the Commissioners.
The hearing was concluded late yes
terday afternoon when Commissioner
Iane announced that the railroad com
pany would be granted 60 days to file
a brief. Other Interested parties de
siring to submit briefs will be allowed
an additional 30 days. At the expira
tion of 0 days, the Commission will
fix a date for hearing oral arguments
at Washington by counsel representing
the carrier and the shippers.
Rates liowrr Than in East.
Witnesses for the Southern Pacific
testified that the discrimination In
rates from San Francisco to Medford
was justified by reason of the water
competition which affected rail rates
as far north as Red Bluff. It was also
brought out In the testimony that the
water rate, because of forced competi
tion of independent steam schooners
between San Francisco and Portland,
ranged from 25 to 45 cents tha 100
pounds, according to classification.
These tariffs. It was shown by com
parison, were fully 100 per cent less
than tha tariffs on tba same classrfl
cations between Charleston, S. C. and
New York, about the cams distance as

who represented the Commission at tha
hearing, agreed that tha rata by rail
from San Francisco to Southern Ore
iron points was governed by water
competition, but held to the opinion
that the rates were slightly excessive.
Experts Give Testimony.
Experts for the railroad company
testified th'at these rates, however,
were based on the water rate ef SI
cents from San Francisco to Portland,
and the local rate from Portland to
destination, less cents tha 100 pounds
on the first four classifications and 3
' rents the 100 pounda on the other six
classifications. Cost of maintenance
and operation of trains out of San
Francisco over tha Siskiyou Mountains
Into Southern Oregon waa assigned as
further justification of the rates
against which the Medford merchants
are complaining.

Grain Shippers Complain,
Testimony was also offered In the
complaint of Kerr, Glfford & Company
and Balfour, Guthrie A Company, who
ask that the Commission make a rul
ing requiring the Harriman roads to
allow shippera a maximum of 14.15 for
repairs to cars used for shipping grain
In bulk. Under the present tariff they
are allowed 2 per car. Complainants
suDmitted figures to show that ship
pers In the Missouri River and Chicago
territory enjoyed a maximum allow
ance or I3.S0 for such repairs. It was
urged also that because of the faulty
couuiuon or many of the cars delivered
io snippers, the present allowance of
12 per car was Insufficient to make the
necessary repairs with the result that
an additional burden falls on tha ship
per, which properly belonged to the
carrier.

Well has Miss Lily Lena been called
the fairy princess of vaudeville, a
bunch of sweetness, a beam of sun
shine and other nice things. Anyone
after hearing her sing or spending five
minutes with her as a favored visitor
would aay tha same. Miss Lena is
the haadllner at the Orpheum this
week.
"I'm EngUsb. and from London." said
the dainty comedienne, with her pretty
accent, as ahe came off the stage after
singing her group of merry English
songs. She is a charming person to
interview, is delightfully reminiscent
and speaks with crisp distinctness. In
this latter regard she is a pattern
whom other vaudeville stars should
follow. Only a few weeks ago she was
in her native England, not because she
was homesick, but because she wanted
to be In time for the coronation fes
tivities. "I wanted to see King George and
Queen Mary," explained Miss Lena,
"and went In style and paid $25 for a
seat In a swell lnclosure. The King and
Queen wore their robes of state as they
rode past, but I did not get a very good
look at them. A day or two after
this they passed down my home street
to open a state function and I saw
them, for nothing, as plainly as I sea
you now. I also went over to Eng
land to get new songs written for my
season's work, and I really think that
they will equal my last y&ar's suc
cesses. ' I have only been tMee weeks
on the road this season. In England,
this last time, I took over my Amer

family coat-of-arms, with stars, bars
and eagle on them, and am sure from
this you Americans . took these into
consideration in making up the first
American flag.- I have been in Eng
lish vaudeville since I was a little girl
and have often played boy parts. There
isn't much difference between English
and American vaudeville audiences
have to be amused. Do you see my
gowns over there? I had to pay $1260

A Home Recipe for
Removing Wrinkles
(From Woman's National Journal)
Who will blame the modern woman
for trying to look as young and at
tractive as she reasonably can? Why
should she be placed at a dlsadvan
tage in numerous ways by wearing
wrinkles, if she can avoid these hate
ful marks of advancing age?
Few women, however, know what to
do to effectually rid themselves of
wrinkles or sagglness. None of the
advertised preparations. Is satisfactory
and most of them are very expensive.
But a very simple and harmless home
remedy, which any woman can make,
will work wonders where all the pat
ent preparations fall
