Attor neys fir the Southern Pacific com pony, in asking the interstate com meive commission I'm- a rcliearinir of the Imnau-l'uulsen lumber case, dwell particularly upon the differences in distance between Portland nnd some of the upper Willamette valley mills. Grunts I'ass mills are asking for a l.V-i-eent rate to San Francisco bav. it is stated, and while tlicv are 2117 miles nearer than Portland, the rail road, if it desired to grunt the rate, could not do so without extending; the same rate to Portland. It is declared thut the commission. by its order in this case, has virtu ally reversed its rulintr in a former case and prohibited a restoration of a lT'-a-cent rate from points on tin cast bunk of the Willamette and of 18:ti cents from points west of the Willamette, likewise yivinjr Poitlnud equal rates on rough green lumber, which at one time were snecificallv refused on that material. lly way of reply to the commis sion's statement that rates to the south from the valley and from Port land should reach a common basis at a point not too far distant, and fix ins Jlarysville as Hint point, the rail road counsel say Hint rates eastward do not reach an equality until Port Neitl', Idaho, is reached. That is 721 miles east of Portland, and the com mon rate of 117 Vi cents is then blan keted 227 miles south to Pavson, Utah. . , If the same distances were npnlied southward, it is asserted, the point at which Portland nnd Willamette, valley rates would meet in California would be at Fresno, and the rate then would lie applied westward to Salinas, Oil., and eastward to llazen.

Spencer's deed of heroism was per formed while a student in 1SC0. Ex hausted by his heroic work, Spen cer collapsod on his seventeenth re turn and In his delerjuni asked "did I do niv host?" a phrase that becamo I famous and often was used as a text for sermons with Spencer's deed us an example. A bronze tablet in the Northwest ern library tells the story as follows:. "To commemorate the heroic en deavors of Edward W. Spencer, first Northwestern student- life saver, this tablet Is erected by the class of 1S9S. At the wreck of the Lady Elgin, off Wlnnetka, September S, 1SC0, Spen cer swam through the heayy surf seventeen times, rescuing seventocn persons in all. In the dclurltim of exhaustion, which followed, his oft repeated question "was: " 'Did I do my best?' " Two hundred and seventy nine persons were lost.

An honorary degree was given him ten years ago. Ho never entirely recovered his health. Sev eral ;ears ago he suffered-a stroke of paralysis which recurred ten days ago. I'c is survived by his widow and three daughters. r.lltl) OF THANKS. Wo wish to express our hearfelt thanks to the many friends of the late Frank B.
