' "-, ' ';: : HKkpne merchants, and those of the "Inland Empire" have nlwaya been com pelled to pay, on freight shipped from the rnst, the terminal rate to the Pa cific coast, plus the local rale, or "back haul" tate from the coait tack again to Epokane. - On the face of it It seems like CiRcr'.mination In favor of Paclflo coast Jolbtrm who, by a reduction of the ratos from the east to Bpokane, will be forced out of the "Inland Empire." Anethtr Bide to the Questi9n. ' Hut there is another f ide td the ques tion. That is from the railroad's, side (f it. To compete with water carriers the roJlroajJi companies are compelled to give the Pacific coast cities rates but little higher than those offered ty the steam ship companies. But now. after the in torstate commerce commissionpas or dered a reduction in the rates On class and commodity from the east to Spo kkse. Pacific coast Jobbers, not being able to compete for business in that ter ritory against . Missouri river jobbers by rail, will depend upon the cheaper water rates to allow them to fight for lr.ttrior business on an equal price basis. j- Briofly, the situation Is Jnst this At the present time Pacific coast Job bers , - working . under the old freight rate system, can ship goods to the "in land Empire" by an all-rail route as Cheaply as can eastern jobebrs, or more particulsrly the Jobbers of the Missouri river, with whom competition is strong. This condition is made possible by the feet that the same rates prevail from eastern points to Spokane, as from eastern cities to Paciflo coast cities, plus the "back-haul" rate from coast cities to Spokane, Cannot Compete, But with the rates from Missouri points to Spokane cut from 20 to 25 per cent Paciflo coast Jobbers- cannot hope, to compete in the "Inland Empire"' with Missouri river Jobbers. Therefore, they necessarily must use water car riers ,so they can get freight cheaply enough to absorb the local railroad rates from the coast to the Interior, and per mit them to work On an equal basis with eastern Jobbers. Well enough do the railroads realize the employment of water carriers will cut heavily into their freight business, and naturaly they will make every at tempt to offset it. Should the commerce commission put the reduced rates into i effect, the only way the railroads can hope to swing business, routed by Pa cific oast Jobbers by water to the Pa elflc coast and thence by rail to the interior, 1b to reduce rates voluntarily from the east to the Paciflo coast so that old conditions will again rule. Few residents of Paciflo coast cities realize how, anxious are many of the larger Atlantlo steamship companies to break Into the Pacific coast business. A pretty good indication or weir eager iiess to develop the water freight car ryIn buatoeais- themaaer Jnhich some of the lines now -operating have been' compelled to cut rates to keep other companies out of the western seas.. - ,. . After Coast Trade. Three companies are now actively competing . for freight trade between eastern cities and Pacific coast points fc ay of either the Straits of Magel Ian, or across the Isthmus. They are the American-Hawaiian line, the Ma:. eon Steamship company and the Bates & Cheeseborough Steamship company. Present railroad freight rates to tho coast are higher on many classes and commodities than the railroad rate from the middle states to the Atlantic seaboard, plus the water rate around the Horn. As an example, structural steel was shipped: from Fltsburg, Pa., to the, Atlantic seaboard, loaded aboard ship and carried around the Horn to Portland and Seattle far cheaper than it could have been shipped directly across the United States- by rail. recent schedule of rates published by the American-Hawaiian line gives a list of commodities which are carried from San Francisco to New York at a coat of' $9 a ton, orabout 46 cents per 109 pounds. But, entering intojdlrect competition with the A.-H. line, the Bates company first established a $7 rate per ton front San Francisco to New York,' or from New York to San Francisco, and then cut .it to $6 and 15. E0 a ton, with some commodities carrying as -high a rate as $6 a ton. Only one advantage thu railroads have and .that is the ad van tage of speed. The rail rates are noro than' double the water rates in most ccf.es. " ' . Bailroads Between rites. Of course the decisions handed down In, Waehlngton, D. C, the other day by the interstate commerce commission are not to take effect for about six months, or until such a time as the rail reads are eble to make an 'intelligent rtport on the effect they would have on thfir buslnefs. Fortland rate experts who have studied the plan of the com mission carefully unite in making the declaration that the reduced rates will not go into effect , . '' The Trallroads are between two fires. Spokane jobbers demand, although those of the coast say their interior brethren will rot be benefited - thereby, lowor rales from the ftst. Not only will such low rates cut off from Pacific coast jobbers the wholesale business ' of tho Inland.; Empire, but it will affect Spo- inane WlluienniorB u iiwd mnu. 11 river Jobber can then supply the Spokane territory as cheaply, if not more - o; ;! than, ' the home- wholesaler Missouri river points, by the, way, In c.ude St, Paul.

"Each great po" she said, "will have group to himself with a marshal. dressed in some cases to represent the actual poet ' We will have a Byron group in which- the noble poet will preside among Manfred, Don Juan, Maid of Ath ens and so on. "Countess Eleanor Murphy Is busily engaged over a Tennyson group a f ea-' ture - of which will be the Dream of Fair-- Women' Including . Cleopatra, Rofamund and ' Jepfcthah s daughter.

"One particularly pretty group should be Thomson's Seasons in which Marquis , de Ruvigny is taking a special interest Winter will be represented by a. snow ' man, and spring by a little boy, a young Pan with- his flute. , , Then there will be a gay crowd of Canterbury Pilgrims to represent Chau cer, and. the characters from the-first book of the 'Odyssey will be headed by the blind Homer himself, le$ in by Cal liope.'

What are we going to do about ' Shakespeare Well, he is, of course, a tremendous difficulty, as nearly every body begins by wanting to be a Shakes pearean character; jand It we let people have their own way he would oust ev ery other poet from tne room.
