Anything
I
can
do
for
you
,
Mr
.
Dyke
?
”
Dyke
explained
.
When
he
had
done
speaking
,
the
clerk
turned
to
S
.
Behrman
and
observed
,
respectfully
:
“
Our
regular
rate
on
hops
is
five
cents
.
”
“
Yes
,
”
answered
S
.
Behrman
,
pausing
to
reflect
;
“
yes
,
Mr
.
Dyke
,
that
’
s
right
—
five
cents
.
”
The
clerk
brought
forward
a
folder
of
yellow
paper
and
handed
it
to
Dyke
.
It
was
inscribed
at
the
top
“
Tariff
Schedule
No
.
8
,
”
and
underneath
these
words
,
in
brackets
,
was
a
smaller
inscription
,
“
SUPERSEDES
NO
.
7
OF
AUG
.
1
”
“
See
for
yourself
,
”
said
S
.
Behrman
.
He
indicated
an
item
under
the
head
of
“
Miscellany
.
”
“
The
following
rates
for
carriage
of
hops
in
car
load
lots
,
”
read
Dyke
,
“
take
effect
June
1
,
and
will
remain
in
force
until
superseded
by
a
later
tariff
.
Those
quoted
beyond
Stockton
are
subject
to
changes
in
traffic
arrangements
with
carriers
by
water
from
that
point
.
”
In
the
list
that
was
printed
below
,
Dyke
saw
that
the
rate
for
hops
between
Bonneville
or
Guadalajara
and
San
Francisco
was
five
cents
.
For
a
moment
Dyke
was
confused
.
Then
swiftly
the
matter
became
clear
in
his
mind
.
The
Railroad
had
raised
the
freight
on
hops
from
two
cents
to
five
.
