The Unit ed States circuit court of appeals here today dismissed the appeal of the Hill and Harriman railroad lines from, the Injunction restraining the companies from enforcing the In creased lumber rate in the northern California, Oregon and Montana dis tricts. The increased rate, which was to take effect November 1908 would have meant, according to the lum bermen, a destruction, to their busi ness. This Is a big victory for the northern lumber companies against the railroad. . The case was begun in the federal court at Portland, Oregon, and the lumbermen secured an injunction, the first of the kind ever granted since the interstate commerce act went into effect, restraining the rail roads from the proposed advance in rates. r From , this decision of the trial court the railroads appealed, raising arguments, which if sustained, would have stripped the.. Interstate com merce commission of some of its most vital powers. The decision ren dered today by the United States court of appeals fully sustains the commission In its order restraining the proposed advance in rates and Is regarded as a most signal victory, not only for the lumbermen of the Pacific northwest,, but for shippers all over the United States. The decision practically estab lishes the power of the interstate commerce commission to investigate and restrain unwarranted increases in rates by the railroads.

Wil liams, a capitalist of St. Johns, is the foreman and Otis Learned, a real estate dealer of the same place, is the clerk. f he Instructions of Judge Oantenbein covered the usual ground of grand jury Investigation and contained little that can be considered as having special sig nificance, unless it be one paragraph in which he told the jurors that if they believed that the preceding grand jury had made a thorough- investigation in any particular department they need not examine further Into it. On the other hand, said the court, If they believed that more light should be thrown on any department, they are at liberty to go into the matter. . Only Two Tanners.

HEW YORK AND -BOSTON -TODAY CruciaL Series in Katjonal League Pennant Race Commences. Hew Tork, Oct. 5.

Oct. S. The first game of the last three the Giants will play with Boston at the Polo grounds had Ames and Bresnahan as the battery for the locals, with Tuckey and Bowerman for Boston. First game's score by Innings: New York 0 0 2 0 0 0 Boston ...........0 0 0 0 0 No more drinks for women In saloons or small restaurants. Chief of Police GrlUmacher has been officially notified of the passage of the ordinance forbid ding women in salpons and prohibiting the saleof liquor to women in restau rants that have a floor space of less than 400 square feet. Also no Intoxicat ing liquors must be served in . restau rants unless meals are served. Officers were sent out this morning to notify the places affected by the order, Chief of Police Gritxmacher. however, wrll not put the lid on today. He said this morning that he would not begin to enforce the ordinance right away. He would wait until all the saloon and res- taurant keepers should be notified of the new order or things. That there is going to be a good deal of trouble over the enforcement of the ordinance appears more than probable. The law does not define what shall con stitute a meal. So there is bound to be a difference of opinion between the res taurant keepers and the police. sut as lonar as the crackers and cheese hold out the former can claim that meals are' served. If the customers refuse to eat the "meal, so much the better for the restaurant keeper. And the ham sand wich can be dusted off every morning and set out to do another day s work. The man whose restaurant is only 19 by 20 feet is up against it temporarily, at -least. , He iMd no show at all. If he, serves a gis of . beor with a rib steak, he is violating the law and sub ject to dire penalties.

Ike T. Frvor of Man Ant rvn I n ia ners to represent the cattlemen. The Democrats have their donkey and the Republicans their elephant, but now a third animal is about to be added to tha political menagerie as the trade mark of the Prohibition party. Thomas Nast, who originated the donkey and the elephant, was the father of the American cartoon, and strongly partisan. The donkey was originated in ridicule at the time. , Dur ing the succeeding years, however, the emblem has been , taken up and now la. the -ftocepted trademark and J e highly honored ' as . such' by . friends of the party. It Is' safe, however, for Presi dential Nominee Chafln of the Prohibi tion party to select a logical emblem for the Prohibition party, and he -se lected wisely. Some years ago there was a saying among the wayward college youths which ran as follows: "The camel can go ten days without drinking, but who - wants to be . a camel?" Whether Chafln realised the humor of the situation or not, the fact remains that the camel has, to a certain extent. already become emblematic of the Pro hibition party. 1 In selecting an emblem the camel was strongly in favor for another reason, namely his patience. Like the Prohibi tionists, he is a good "waiter" and Is always ready to share the burdens of others. Still another interesting fea ture in which he might be compared to the Prohibition party this year es pecially is, to quote the slang phrase of the street, that he has -got a hump on nimseir." . These are flays of strenuous advertis ing, not only in business, cut in politics. Never before have Political candidates so1 systematically' advertised themselves and- their policies as in this campaign. It is a recognized fact that one of the nret essentials or good advertising is some definite .trademark or emblem which wherv"seen will always remind one of the advertisement Animals have been especially popular as trademarks and political parties are only following a line of good advertising when they combine to use their respective em blems. No doubt the "ships of the desert" would throw out their chests in pride could they realize the honor conferred upon them ry the prohibition party.
