The following letter and iuclosure from Mr. Heney sufficiently illus trates the methods of the high offic ials of the Santa Fe and show the ut tter falsity of their plea of Ignorance, the similar plea of the Standard Oil Wing equally without foundation: "Department of Justice Office of the U. S. Attorney, District of Oregon, Portland, Jan. 11, 1908. "The President, Washington, D. C "Dear Mr. President: i understand that Mr. Ripleys of the Atchison, To peka & Santa Fe Railway system has commented with some severity upon yonr attitude toward the payment of rebates" by certain transcontinental railroads and that he has declared that he personally never knew any thing about rebates being granted by his road ... I inclose you here with copy of a letter from Edward Chambers, general freight traffic manager of the Atchison, Topeka & Santo Fe Railway system, to Mr. G. A. Davidson, auditor of the Santa Fe Company, dated February 27, 1907. ... This letter does not deal with interstate shipments, but the consti tution of the State of California snakes the payment of rebates by railroads a felony, and Mr. Ripley has apparently not been above the commission of crime to secure busi ness. You are liberty to use this inclosure in any way that you think h can be of service to yourself or the public. Sincerely yours, "FRANCIS J. HENEY." have come in boat from the coast fields. "1 am writing this up completely so there may be in the papers a his tory of the reasons why this arrange ment was made. I wish you would go ahead and make the adjustment as soon as possible, as the Associated Oil Company are anxious to have the matter closed up. The -arrangement was concluded on November 15 at a conference between Mr. Ripley. Mr. Wells, Mr. Porter and myself. "Yours truly, "EDWARD CHAMBERS, "Associated Oil Co." "San Francisco, June 27, 1907. "Dear Sir: I hand you herewith a file of papers covering the movement of fuel shipped by the Associated Oil Company over our lines from Janu ary 1, 1906, up to and including No vember IS, 1906. We agreed with the Associated Oil Company, in negotia tions with Mr. Ripley, Mr. Wells and mvself. that in consideration of their making us a special price on oil for company use, which is covered by a contract, and the further considera tion that we would take a certain auantitv. they would in turn ship from Bakersfield over our line to San Francisco Bay points a certain minimum number of barrel? of fuel oil at rate of 25 cents per barrel from Fakersfield. exclusive of the switch ing charges. These statements cover the movement, except that they nave included Stockton, which is not cor rect, as it is not a bay point, and could not be reached as conveniently by water. We have paid them on ac count of this movement $7239, which should be deducted from the total movement shown in the attach ed papers. I would arrange to make p a statement, check the same and refund to the Associated Oil Com pany down to the ba.-is of 25 cents per barrel from. Bakersfield, where they are the shippers, regardless of who is consignee, as all their fuel oil is sold delivered. "The reason for making this deal, in addition to what I have stated, is that the Associated Oil Company fcave their own hoats and carry oil from fields controlled by themselves along the coast near San Luis Obispo to San Francisco at a much lower cost than the special rate we have made them, rnd in competition with the Union Company and the Stand ard Oil Company it was necessary for them to sell at the San Francisco Bay points on the basis of the cost of water transportation from the fields. They figured they could only afford to pay us the 25 cents a bar rel, if by doing this they could sell our company a certain amount of fuel oil; otherwise the business cov ered by the attached papers would TEA There is nothing that costs so little, both money and work, and that goes s o far if it has the chance.

WASHINGTON, -Jan. 31. -The reading of the President's message ccmcernne the Employers' Liability act and granting of injunctions in labor cases and other matters of gen eral nature concerning the big corpo rations was the chief feature of the Senate proceedings today. The mes sage received careful attention from many Senators of both sides of the chamber. The Senate ordered 10,000 copies printed. The remainder of the day was devoted to routine business and the further consideration of the penal code bill. Adjournment was had until Monday. IN THE HOUSE. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. An un usual unprecedented scene was en acted in the House today as a result of the reading of the special message of the President urging legislation in matters relating to labor and capital and of corporations and the public. The vigorous language of the docu ment brought forth storms of ap plause, first on the Democratic side of the House and then on the Repub lican side and then culminating in a general demonstration by the entire body. As ' if in anticipation of something out of the ordinary going to happen there was a very full attendance of members. Long after the reading had been concluded it was the sole topic of conversation among members on the floor and" in the lobby. After passing 280 pension bills, the Indian appropriation bill was dis cussed. It was still under considera tion when the House adjourned until Monday.

The bladder, however, causes the old folks the most annoyance, espec ially at night and early morning. A noted authority in a recent ar ticle stated that he has wonderful success with the old-time "vegetable treatment, lie states: "Of 16 cases of bladder troubles and rheumatism which have been treated with this treatment only one very complicated case failed to fully yield to its re markable influence. It is the most harmless treatment I have ever found to clean the system of rheumatic poisons; remove irritation of the bladder and relieve urinary difficulties of the old people. It is a true vitaliz ing tonic to the entire kidney and urinary structure, reinvigorating the entire system." What he terms "old vegetable treatment" consists of the following simple prescription, the ingredients which can be obtained from any good pharmacy at small cost: Compound Kargon, one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce. Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and upon going to bed, also drink plenty of water. This prescription, thought simple, is always effective in the diseases and afflictions of the kidneys and bladder.
