Page Fence Can't Come
to Pieces.
Page Wcven Wire Fence is made
to withstand the roughest farm
usage it is possible for it to under
go. No animal—bull, steer or stal
lion—can successfully argue a point
with this remarkably strong, elastic
fence. This is a broad statement,
it has been proved hundreds of
times.
Houses and giant trees have
fallen on stretches of Page Fence.
When they were removed the fence
was found to be uninjured. This is
just the sort of fence you want.
We carry a big line of Page
Fence in all styles—Stock Fence,
Hog Fence, Poultry Fence, etc. If
you need fence now visit us at once.
Get it now while prices are lowest.
We must reduce our stock and will
cut the prices to the limit.

affidavits of Thomas K. Campbell, a
member of the commission, J. P.
Newell, an engineer; Erank J. Mil
ler, a member of the commission:
J. M. Riley, Jr., an accountant, and
W. C. Earle, an engineer. The facts
involved in the issuance of the rail
way commission order demanding a
re-classification which would in turn
bring a reduction of rates charged,
are gone over.
Statistics Are Given
The order issued by the United
States circuit court was based upon
the assumption that if the rates went
into effect the order would curtail
the revenues of the company In such
a manner as to result in virtual con
fiscation.
In this charge that the
state railway commission endeavors
to controvert and the facts present
ed are largely of a statistical nature,
going into the earnings of the com
pany, its expenses, its mileage and its
constructing and operating divisions.
It is evident that the railway com
mission depends upon two important
factors in its repply:
First, the pro
fits on the mileage which has exist
ed since 1896; second, a table of
comparative charges in the classifi
cation of rates, with the usual per
centage of relation which exists be
tween them in Washington. Idaho,
