Omaha, Oct. 25. Interstate Commerce Commissioners Clarke and Lane began a hearing here on matters connected with the grain trade. J. E. Von Dorn, of the Cavers-Yon Porn Elevator company and the J. E. A'on Pom Commission company, Council Bluffs, testified that the elevator company of which he is the head, besides operating an elevator at Council Bluffs, .does business at Underwood, la., and Neola, la. In both places the elevators are rented from the Bock Island Railroad company. At Underwood they pay $123 a year and at Neola $200. Had Himself Been Boycotted. In both places their competition is from the Cooper Grain company, which sells its grain to the Cabers-Yon Porn company. The Cavers-Yon Porn Ele-

vat or company, he said, felt that in ' buying gra'n at small shipping points j regular grain dealers who operate eleI vators should be favored as against ! people who load cars from wagons.

The company does not care to handle the latter business. In answer to

FARM KISS IN A CO Ml' ANY

They Fine Members Who Sell Grain to Other Companies. C. Yincent. manager of the Farmers' Grain company, composed of about 300 farmers along the line of the Union Pa c ilk in central Nebraska, said that although his company had some difficulty in securing elevator sites oa railroad land? at first it was later treated with perfect fairness. It has been in business a vear. and has

caused an average increase in the price of grains of '.from 2 to 2 cents a bushel. It has been doing business at a proiit. The company has a clause in vts by-laws providing a penalty of 1 cent a bushel in case a stockholder sells grain to anybody except the Farmers' company. F. S. Cow gill, manager of theTransM'ssissippi drain company, which oporates sixty-two elevators on the Missouri Pacific, the Northwestern and! the Illinois Central l.'nes, said there was no agreement for the establishment of prices, but his agents were instructed to pay as much for grain as competitors paid. There are no pooling agreements, he declared, but admitted that at points where there are

two elevators he expects to get half the business, and makes no effort to get more than that. He said he would not buy grain from a "shovel man," nor from a Farmers' elevators where the "penalty clause" was in force. J. W. Holmquist, of the MerriamIljlmquist company, said elevators usually divided the business in their territory, but that "shovel men" are not considered legitimate competitors. Nels P.. Updike, of the Updike Grain company, said there was no agreement about prices, but that up to fifteen months ago they used to confer and "agree on what they thought grain was worth." J. O. Phillippi, assistant general freight agent of the Missouri Pacific railway for this territory, asserted that his company made no discrim

ination between elevators, but added

that the man "whesp office is in his

hat is not entitled to the same consid

eration as the man who has his money invested in a plant for handling grain." It is the policy of his road, he said,

to discourage theestablishment of more

than two elevators at a small station

It is his business to make recommenda

tions on applications for elevator sites

and sidings, and at stations where there are already ample facilities for

handling all the grain produced he re

ports adversely. "Presuming that the

railroad company is not in the grain business," demanded Commissioner Pane, "what right have you to say who

shall invest his money in the construction and operation of elevators and who shall not?" After pondering this conundrum for sw.c minutes the witness gave it 'up.

The mayor of the town of Aguacate. in the province of Havana, who was ousted from office, was restored to his position Tuesday and organized an armed escort of twenty-five men, alleging that he feared an attack by the Moderates. Governor Magoon has ordered Governor Nunez to proceed to Aguacate and compel the mayor to surrender the arms of his escort and bring the weapons to Havana.; Permanent Quarters for Soldiers. In consequence of complaints from various garrisons in Santa Clara province that the troops are compelled to remain under canvas in default of regular quarters, Prigadier- General Bell has started on a tour of inspection to secure permanent quarters for the soldiers, wherever such n step is practicable.

BACK IN THEIR CHANUEL

Waters of the Colorado River Are

Corraled Costs the Southern Pacific a Million. Imperial, Cal., Oct. 25. The waters

wero turned back into the old chan

nel leading to the Gulf of California,

the first water of the Colorado river

that has flowed there for two years.

Six years ago that portion of the Colorado desert known as Imperial valley was colonized, and water was

brought in from the Colorado river for

Irrigation. Two years ago the Colorado river broke through its bank and flowed into the Salton sink, compelling the Southern Pacific to remove its tracks several times. The company then undertook to turn the water back into its old channel, and has at last, after many discouragements, succeeded at a cost of $1,000,000.
