GENERAL CUT MADE
FROM OLD RATES
Figured Consumer Will Get, on
an Average, About 12 Per

Tlio railroad commission this morning
made public its findings in the cafe of
the. City of St. Johns against the St.

pany. The suit was brought to get tne
jutes reduced to wiiTor Consumers in ti e
city of St. Johns, and in -similar to tho
suit now pending before -the commis

Salem Water. Light A: J'ower com
pany. In reaching its conclusions the
commission had to take Hie same steps
that were taken in the Salem case. The
piopei'ty hud to be valued, operating
expenses and overhead charges ascer
tained, and all those things, just as in
the lo -al suit The original cost of the
1 roperty was .li2,000 ami the com

the first day of duly, HiKI This date is
taken for the renson that f. that time
an or.limAn-e was pnt-se-l by the city of
'St. ,1'hns tiring the water rate.-;, and a
simulation was enteied into between
tho company and the city that the coin

' Tim commission divided the rates in
tn three classes, and, in fixing the new
schedules, so channel the elnssit'ieoaa-
tiou that it. is alinut impossible to inukc
an intelligent conipi' i ison between the
rules fixed by the i-iuniiiissina ami the

however, of between In and 12 per cent.
I'istenii oi a minimum rate nt $1, as un
der the old rule, Hie minimum is now
I'D cents. To this, however, is added
10 cents for ca h additional faucet.
which tends to, in some crm's, make
the rate a trifle hi'iher than the old
rate, but for the average consumer the
rates are reduced from lo to 12 per

MOST SECRETJVE OF ALL
Hated Publicity, 0v Very Little to
Charity, Spent Ldttle on Luxuries
and Avoided Fada
Pasadena, . C'al., April 4. Froderick
Weyerhaeuser, the timber magnate of
Sit. Paul, reputed as One of the world'
richest men, who has been ill at his
winter homo hero for the last ten days
with capillary pneumonia, died at 8:30
o'clock this morning.
Probably tho wealthiest, certainly
the most socretive of American million
aires, Frederick Weverhaeuser left an
cstato the vnluo of which his most inti
mnto business associates cannot come
within a hundred million dollars of es
timating. He probably was worth half
a billion dollars, most of his wealth Do
ing in vast timber holdings through thj
north and west.
Gave Little to Charity.
Personally, he was a paradox. Known
to his intimate friendu as a gentle and
kindly man and a man of deep religious
convictions, his name was entirely un
known in. the fields of charity. IHb
friends assort that he gave to charity
but always with the. warning that pub
licity meant immediate withdrawal of
his upporst. They admit that he pave
comparatively litllo, However, nltho;igh
they believe that his will may disclose
.moro generosity. ' '
Put if Weyerhaeuser gavo ittle to
othern, ho hampered himself less. His
habits were extremely frugal. Ho had
no hobbies. One automobile, was enough
for him. llo wn jiifr(Nitjcjr to yaem
and art galleries nnd all other expensive
fada of tho rich.
Studious always, but studiously silent,
an intimate friend said of him recently
that his genius for secretiveness
amounted almost to ,X mania. Ho hated
publicity.
Forced Into Lumbor Business.
Weyerhaeuser was born in Germany
in lH.'SI. He laid the foundation of his
fortune at Hock Island, III., while man
aging a small lumber mill, which he
took on a debt.
He is survived by seven children, His
wil'o died in 11H1. The family home
was at St. Paul, Minn., but he main
tained a winter residence in Pasadena
owning ono of the most modest of the
mansions in the. fashionable Oak Noll
flint rit-t.
Burial at Rock Inland.
Tho body will be sent east on the Los
Angeles Limited nt noon tomorrow. The
funeral services will be held at Hock
Island, 111., where tho timber magnate
made his start In the accumulation of
his vast fortune. Mrs. Weyerhaeuser,
who died November 1!U, 101 1, is buried
there.
