The ruling on payment for transpor tation la to tha effect that nothing but money can be lawfully received in pay ment. Thla excludes aervlcea or trade of any kind. Under It the Sunset Mag aslne. published by the Southern Pacific company at San Franelaco. which has alwaya paid for Its artlclea In trans portation, will be obliged to make a sweeping change of policy and pay eaah to writers whoae work appears In Its pages. INTRICATE CLAUSES ARE NOW BEING EXPLAINED Law Seems to Be Built on Common Sense Lines and Is Practically Im partial in Its Rulings Between the Public and the Roads. It Is tha impression now that tha in terstate commerce law la going to work all right" said William McMurray, gen eral passenger agent of tha Harrlman linos in Oregon. "The attitude of the railroad men la that they will live up strictly to the law. So far aa Its pro vlalona are understood at this time, they seem to be along common-sense lines." Railroad men out this way have not ahown any disposition to criticise. If they do not like the law they are keep in. their dissatisfaction carefully con cealed. There are appearances hi tha first rulings of tha commiaalon that the law favora the railroad In soms ways, aa against the public, while In numerous instances there are petty burdens placed upon tha traveling public by a strict en forcemeat. It is assumed that whan the details of the law were worked out lu committee it waa practically Impossible tq foresee their application In all the Innumerable relationships they must bear to the public In tha exigencies of travel. Heretofore the Individual rail road passenger departments hsve pur sued their vsrlous policies toward the traveler, liberal or narrow, as the case might be. In matters of accommodation like the extension of time limits, ex change of transportation and enforce ment of rules relating to regular and excursion tickets. All these things now come within the purview of the law, and exigency cases must yield their de mands to whatever action the law re quires. Pour circulars have thus fsr been Is sued by the commission relating to the now law la tha matte of passenger transportation. Ho. 1 waa a formal announcement of the commission. No. t related to payment for transportation; notice of changes of rates; new reads; establishing rates, and joint ratea. with out notice, by posting a tariff with the commiaalon; round trip excursion aad commutation ratea, mileage and excur sion rates. For an extended period ex cursion rates for seasons of travel must give fall notice of SO daya. For shorter time, limits, aa conventions and fairs, the Reduced rates for excursions limited to three days miy be made on one day's notice by mailing application to tha commiaalon and posting a notice one day in two pub!! places In each paa aenger atatlon where the tlckete are placed ea sale. Tariffs and regulations governing the Issuance of party rate tickets moat be regularly died and published. Privi leges so extended must not be limited to any class of persons, but must be open to all. It la believed the new law will prac tically eliminate the railroad ticket acalplng business on a large scale In this country. Heretofore the large scalping offices have been to a great extent maintained by their ability to secure straight tickets from the railroad companies, through secret arrangements. In thla manner ralroads often met the competition of rivals- who were cutting rstes. The scalper will hereafter be compelled to subsist entirely on the handling of unused tickets or portions of tickets that are brought to him by tha traveling public.

That, of course, makes Its possession by an American woman an additional triumph.

THE I0ST COMPLETE LINE IN THE WORLD Are entirely different in construction, design and finish than any other heaters, the line embracing everything as regards style and size for both wood and coal. The handsome design and finish of a Buck's Heater is con vincing at first sight, and they have demonstrated through actual test their superiority over all others in the perfect distribution of heat and their economy of fuel. In the line are the many sizes and styles known as Buck's Hot-BlaSt Heaters, Buck's Air-Tight Heaters, Buck's Coal Heaters, Buck's Oak Heaters. Bach is a complete line in itself, from which can be made the most satisfactory selection. In the Buck's Hot-Blast Heater is the acme of heater construction, surprising economy and perfect satisfaction. This construction is entirely dif ferent from all others, permitting the use of the cheapest grade of coal, slack or screenings, which will give as much heat as if high-grade lump coal is used. There are hundreds of Buck's Heaters in use in Portland and suburban homes, all of which are giving perfect satis faction.

Tha bonea were found at a depth of no feet, after a blast had been eet off. They were badly broken, owing, no doubt, to the force of the explosion.
