The Llmt of Life.
The most eminent medical sclen
lists are unanimous In the conclusion
that the generally accepted limitation
of human life is many years below
the attainment possible with the ad
vanced knowledge of which the race
1h now possessed. The critical period,
that determines Its duration, seems
to be between 60 and 60; the proper
care of the body during this decade
cannot be too strongly urged; care
lessness then being fatal to longevity.

EXAGGERATED
f-
Complaint Filed About C. S. Rates;
Mr. W. H. Biggs of Wasco, former
ly register of the land office in this
city and the father of Sherman coun
ty, objects seriously to both freight
and passenger rates on the Columbia
Southern and has made formal com
plaint to the railroad commission. He
charges that the freight rates on all
products and particularly wheat, be
tween Wasco, Klondike, Summit,
Moro, Grass Valley and other points
on the Biggs, Shanlko branch of the
O. R. & N. and Portland are unrea
sonably in excess of the rates charged
upon the same commodities, particu
larly from Rufus, Grants or Biggs,
on the main line.
He asks for an investigation with
a view to securing a modification of
the rates, tariffs and schedules and
naving mem adjusted upon a more
reasonable basis.
Mr. uiggs states that passenger
rate are four cents per mile for ser
vice no better than on other lines
and that freight rates are unreason
able and discriminative. An example
given is that the difference In rates
on wheat shipped to Portland from
Rufus and that shipped from Wasco
is 70 cents per ton, the difference in
distance being only four miles. He
also alleges that the road la paying
well and can afford to make reduc
tions in rates. The Dalle Chronicle.
CLAIMS A PRIOR CONTRACT.
Suit Interferes With Christian Church
Flan
Thursday the trustees of the Chris
tian church at Boise concluded to
purchase the LeHane ranch of 160
acres three mile; west of the city,
and $2000 is said to have been paid
over on the purchase price, which Is
understood to' be $31,000, reminds
the Boise Statesman.
Yesterday In the district court for
Ada county Joseph Perrault started
a suit against the owner of the ranch
asking that the cdirt Issue an order
against Mr. LeHane compelling him
to perform a contract entered Into
last month to sell the ranch to him
for 125,000.
The complaint, which was filed by
Attorneys Borah, Cavanah & Blake,
recites that Mr. Perrault entered into
an agreement with Mr. LeHane for
the purchase of the property, $16,000
to be paid down and the purchaser to
assume the payment of a mortgage
of $10,000 drawing 8 per cent inter
est which falls due next April; that
after the deed was made out it was
found that Mr. LaHane agreed to
correct the title and then accept the
money. It Is also complained that
later he refused to take the money.
The plaintiff asserts that he had
been to considerable expense in at
torney fees and other items expecting
that the agreement would be fulfill
ed.
Mr. Perrault stated last evening: "I
bought the property on July 17. We
agreed on the price with Mr. LeHane
here and we closed the deal. He
wrote to his brother In Salt Lake, the
owner of the property, and a deed
was forwarded made out in my name.
I was buying the property, but Al
fred Eoff, Addison T. Smith and
Joseph Plnkham were interested with
me in the investment. We Intended
to plat the property under the name
of Cloverdale and had formed a cor
poration for the purpose, after the
deal hud been virtually closed. Be
fore accepting the deed, however, we
found there was a cloud on the title.
It was agreed that that should be
remedied before the money was paid
over. Mr. LaHane understood that
the money was waiting for him at any
time the deed was made perfect.
"It was learned that the property
was purchased of Mrs. Sarah Ash by
LeHane. Mrs. Ash was a widow
when she sold the property, but when
she bought it her husband was liv
ing, so that his heirs had a commu
nity Interest In it.
"It was learned later that when
Mr. Ash died back in Iowa he willed
the property to his wife, so all that
was necessary to make the title per
fectly clear and the deed perfect was
to get a certified copy of his will.
That would be necessary his will not
having been probated in this coun
ty. It was understood that Mr. Le
Hnne would see that the deed was
made perfect and would then take our
money. Later' when we wished to
close up the bargain, he refused to
comply with the agreement, so we
started the suit. We did not know
that the Christian church was think-:
ing of buying the property at the
time we filed the suit."
The filing of the suit yesterday
came as a surprise to the trustees of
the church, as they supposed that
their deal had no opposition. They
had not looked Into the matter last
evening and were not prepared to say
what effect the suit might or might
not have on their plans.

This dealer alone has the promise
of one of the large mines that he will
be furnished with 100 tons of coal
dally for the pcesent and after No
vember 15, the amount will be raised
to 200 tons dally. This is an amount
almost sufficient to supply the needs
of the city, even Should no other
coal be secured. To show that he
understood the situation ha produced
a letter from the manager of the
mlnee, of which the following is a
copy:
. "In reply to your letter of the 6th,
will advise that we will do all w
can to give you 100 tona a day. Of
course, you understand that there is
a shortage all over and It is drawing
on us pretty heavy. When we get the
new mines opened up and the railroad
running we hope to Increase -your
shipments more than you ask for.
However, in the meantime, you may
rest assured that we will ship you all
we can spare besides what you are
getting now."
There has been such a demand on
the part of the people for coal for
storage purposes that It has made It
difficult to keep sufficient coal on
hand for actual needs just now, but
with the" settlement of the Wyoming
coal strike, which is likely to occur
at any time, and with the, opening of
new mines, together with the fact
that the railroad company has finish
ed storing Its own coal, will make an
abundance for all needs here, In the
opinion of the dealer.
Of course, we oan't supply enough
coal now for present use and for the
use of the city for ifll next winter all
at the same time," said he, "but peo
ple don't need to be alarmed because
we can't fill large orders of coal upon
demand,"
The railroad has been storing a
much larger quantity of coal this year
than ever before and then the strike
In some of the mines In Wyoming has
lessened the production. The new
mines about opened, the cessation of
storage by the railroad and the set
tlement of the strike, together with
the coal that has already been stored
In various parts of the territory,
ought to be sufficient reason for the
hopeful view taken of the matter by
this dealer. .
Relative to the probable settlement
of the Wyoming strike, the Kemmerer
Camera has the following:
Hon. P. J. Quealy returned from
Denver yesterday, where he has een
In ateendance upon the conference be
tween the coal operators and the
minessi of the district of Wyoming.
Mr. Quealy states that there is very
little question but what an amicable
settlement will be arrived at between
the parties concerned ln,a.yery short
time. . ' -
There are so many different ques
tions to be considered, covering such
widely divergent conditions, that It
will- likely take some few days yet to
arrive ate an agreement. For In
stance, the miners demand bath tubs,
a "certain fixed rental for the com
pany houses; a certain fixed price up
on the monthly consumption of coal,
11.50 per month to be positive, the
right to regulnte the price of electric
lights used by them and so on down
the line. The eight-hour day with no
reduction from tho former 10-hour
pay, will be in effect on the first of
the year. '
Mr. Quealy speaks very highly of
.President John Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers of America, who is In
attendance, describing him as a man
of unswerving "Integrity and honesty
of purpose, with the fad, possibly, of
making Wyoming" the "highest paid
district In tho world. We under
stand that the conditions of the prop
erties of the Kemmerer Coal company
were least, obnoxious to the miners
of .any of the numerous" coal proper
ties In the state, and If so. Is certain
ly a matter of congratulation to the
management of that particular prop
erty..,- .- ,
' It i to be sincerely fioped that a
permanent settlement of the matters
In controversy be arrived at in a very
short time, thereby relieving the feel
ing of ' uncertainty now prevalent
throughout the coal producing scc
tlons"of Wyoming. ''
