The interstate commerce commission Saturday ren dered s unanimous decision sustaining the contention of Astoria that the present freight rates from the Inland empire are discriminatory and unduly prefer Puget Sound ports, and order ins; a readjustment, placing the Astor ia rates on a parity with those of Se attle, Tacoma and Portland as to a portion of the Inland empire, and with Seattle and Tacoma as to other por tions. The decision recognizes the principle that the railroads have been building up an artificial barrier against the Co lumbia river, and indicates a recog nition of the principle that trade should move along the line of least re sistance for which Portland has long contended. In summoning up its decision the commission says: A careful examination of the rec ords makes it clear that these North Pacific coast ports have closer geo graphical and economic relations, one to the otner, than is at this time re flected in the tariffs of the defendant carriers and that the latter, in their present rate adjustment, unduly dis criminate against Astoria and unduly prefer Puget sound ports. We alBo conclude and find from the record that there is such a relationship between Seattle, Tacoma, Astoria and Portland as to require them to be con sidered, forming more or less of a natural rate group with respect to much of the traffic in question. All facts adduced of record being fully considered, we find, that between Astoria and all points in this territory on or east of the line of the Northern Pacific, extending from Pendleton, Or., through Pasco and Kennewick, WaBh., to Spokane, and on or east of the line of the Great Northern, ex tending from Spokane northward, the rates should not exceed the rates at the same time maintained between Seattle, Tacoma and Portland and such points; between Astoria and points on the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation company eaBt of Pendle ton, and points on the Oregon Short Line, the rates shoud not exceed the rates at the same time maintained be tween Seattle and Tacoma and such points; as to points north of Kenne wick and west of the competitive terri tory just described, Astoria rates may exceed the Portland rates in the same amount that Portland rates are higher than Seattle and Tacoma rates, provid ed the arbitraries over Portland shall in no case exceed the local rate be tween Portland and Astoria; as to sta tions of the Oregon-Washington Rail road & Navigation company and the stations in the Spokane, Portland & Seattle, west of Pendleton, and of the Cascade mountains, the ABtoria rates may exceed Portland rates by the same amount that the Seattle and Ta coma rates are higher than the Port land rates, the differentials over Port land in no case to exceed the local rate between Portland and Astoria." Incidental to possible future pro ceedings, the commission says : "It does not seem unduly venture some to assume a purpose on the part of Portland, in case pf a reduction In the Astoria rates to the basis of rates to Puget sound ports, to call our at tention at a later date to its advan tage, over Astoria, of 100 miles in dis tance from Inland empire points, to predicate upon that fact a demand for a corresponding reduction in its own rates. The order of the commission re quires that the readjustment of the rates be made on or before May L and continue then in effect for a period of not less than two years from the date of taking effect." America Cites Massacre. Washington, D. C. Secretary Lans ing announces that he has authorized the American embassy at Constantino ple to call attention of the Turkish government to the massacre of Armen ians. The dispatch was one of a series sent to the embassy on the subject and was of an unofficial character, the po sition being taken that the United States could not take official action in a matter Involvnlg the treatment by a government of ita own nationals and could only take cognizance of the situ ation on the grounds of humanity. Millions Given Belgians. New York America has contributed $7,600,000 of the relief of Belgium, according to E. van de Vyvere, Bel gian minister of finance, who Bailed for London on the steamship St Paul, after spending several weeks in this country. Up to February 1, foodstuffs and clothing valued at more than $80, 000,000 had been shipped into Bel gium, he said, Belgian interest sup plied more than $60,000,000 of the sum expended.

National pre paredness legislation took a long step forward in congress Wednesday when the house military committee reached a practical agreement on the outline of the army bill it will unanimously present for passage. Chairman Hay was authorized to frame the measure, which is a compromise for the conti nental army plan advocated by ex-Secretary Garrison and President Wilson. Complete Federalization of the Na tional guard will be substituted for the proposed continentals, and the White House was informed during the day that the committee was a unit in supporting the plan, only the language and minor details remaining to be worked out. The measure will grant virtually the entirer program mapped out by ex-Secretary Garrison for the regular army and go even farther than he recommended in providing for re- ADMIRAL C. M.

In the days of his youth Senator Blackburn of Kentucky was asked by a friend to second a duel. He con sented, and at the next sunrise the parties met. It was Mr. Blackburn's duty to say the last word concerning the terms of the duel. One of the senator's colleagues recently said at a Washington dinner that although Mr. Blackburn faithfully performed the duty, the duel never took place. A murmur of "Why not?" went round the table at this remark. "For a very simple reason," contin ued Mr, Blackburn's colleague. "When Joe finished speaking it was too dark for a duel!"

The first year of the Garrison plan would have called for a total ex penditure of $182,000,000. Whether the new bill will be accept able to President Wilson has not been indicated, but the committee believes its plan will override every objection to the Substitution of the Canal guard for the continentals and that congess has full authority for its accomplish ment. Mill Workers Get Raise. Hoquiam, Wash. Announcement was made Tuesday by the Hoquiam Lumber & Shingle company that, be ginning March 1, wages of employes of the mill will be raised 10 per cent. The advance will apply to all of the mill and yard employes, but does not affect the office forces. This is the first raise to be made by any of the mills of the Grays Harbor district, and is made voluntarily by the mill company, due, it is under stood, to the improved condition of the lumber market in the district.

Later he spoke of his experience with a party of his friends.

There has been very little early snearing in the Northwest this year. Usually a considerable quantity of mutton wool has been shorn by this date, but owing to the stormy weather the present season, the sheep are al lowed to go to the slaughter houses with the wool on them. Some shear ing has been done at the Seattle stock yards, where the wool is held for the later market, but nothing has been done at the Portland yards or in the x akima country. contracting nas not yet started in the Northwest. Buyers are in the field in some of the districts, but have not been able to agree to terms with the growers. The market is strong and the prospects are good, but buyers consider the prices demanded as en tirely too high. In spite of the very severe weather in the past six weeks, no heavy losses to stock have been reported. It has been an expensive feeding season for the sheepmen, but it is believed the winter losses will prove but little more than the average. Lewiston Retains Show. Spokane Unanimous adoption of a resolution here Wednesday by the di rectors of the Northwest Livestock association, declaring that Lewiston, Idaho, would continue to be the per manent home of the association's an nual stock show, ended a recent move ment among various groups of stock men to have the annual show trans ferred from Lewiston to Spokane. The movement is said to have had its inception when representatives of the Cascade International Livestock association requested Spokane to take over that association's annual show at North Yakima. The - request, how ever, subsequently was withdrawn. At a conference between representa tives of Spokane business organiza tions and executives of the Northwest Livestock association the concensus of opinion was that Spokane should not take any action antagonistic to either stock show. All Wheat Markets Are Firm. Portland The wheat . market is firmer, but there is little doing in the country, as farmers are not sellers. At the Merchants' Exchange 6000 bushels of February fortyfold were sold at 97 cents, the same price as bid Monday, and 6000 bushels of February club at 97 cents, an advance of 8 cents over Monday's price. Other bids were raised from 1 to 21 cents. Barley was firm, with bids for brewing posted on the board for the first time this season. Thd oats market was quiet in the val ley, but firm east of the mountains. Spokane Orders Help Egg Trade. Portland The egg market gained temporary firmness Wednesday by rather active buying on the part of shippers for Spokane account. The buyers paid 28 cents case count, and practically cleaned up the street. Lower offerings were wired from San Francisco, but were without effect at the time. Other lines of country produce were quiet The poultry mar ket was inclined to be easier and veal was also weak. Pork was steady. No changes were reported in the butter or cheese markets. Fruit Trade Quiet. Portland The fruit trade was quiet Wednesday, aside from the demand for apples. A tar of head lettuce is due and the steamer will bring an assort ment of small vegetables. Prices are unchanged. Appreciating a Philosopher.

Why should not the United States let Japanese energy and engineers and workmen work with American capital In the development of China's re sources? The Japanese are willing and eager to earn dividends for American capi tal, if America is willing to give just rewards for their labor. China would welcome American capital, for she knows that there 1b no string of terri torial consideration tied to it Chinese coolies would be delighted to find work in mines and factories. The hardest work has no terror for them. It is empty Btomachs, and the appall ing and ever-growing number of them, that they fear. And America, why should she ob ject to handsome dividends on her in vestment, to the increase of China's purchasing power, to the expansion of American trade with the Far East to a better understanding between her and Japan? Besides, this answer to the Far East ern question solves also the California problem. Let American capital and Japanese energy develop northern Manchuria and Yunnan, and you will see with what an indecent lack of manners "the politest race on parth" would turn their backs on the smiling foothills of California and the thirsty cities of Arizona. From "China's Vast Resources," by Adachl Kinnosn ke, In the American Review of Re-Views The Lecture Platform. An American gentleman got ac quainted with a Frenchman who was very anxious to acquire the English language. The American, in order to help him, said that if he would send his exercises to him he would willing ly correct them.
