In the town of Butto Falls there wore not many peo plo stirring, as many of them had gone to the near-by timber to try to stop tho ravages of tho fire that bid fair to destroy a vast amount of timber, but I could see that tho town bad unproved somo considerable since I was there last. Those whom I saw were quite enthusiastic over tho prospect of a railroad in the Bear future. I also noticed that the contractors are rushing the work along, grading, making cuts and fills, scattering ties along the route and getting ready for tho steel. That Sunday night they had the track laid across tho Vestal place, making about three miles of track they had laid during the past week, and that they were about two miles from tho first bridge there is to build, and that they are rushing ev erything on to completion.

Commer cial organizations throughout the country are preparing to engage in a finish fight with the express com panies with a view to securing great ly reduced rates. The first gun in the campaign was fired yesterday when the Chicago Association of Commerce and 123 other influential commercial organ izations in all parts of the country filed a petition with the interstate commerce commission asking that body to make an investigation on its own motion into the charges made by express companies nnd into the revenues thoy are enjoying. The movement against the express companies was started by tho Chi cago Association of Commerce and tho New York Merchants' associa tion, tho former including some of tho most powerful organizations in tho west, and the latter influencing those in tho east to join the move ment. It is said that sufficient data has been gathered to warrant tho commission in rjducing the express charges by fully 50 per cent, Attorneys J. W. Griggs and B. L. Pairchild have been retained by the associations to assist the commission in its investigation. NOTICE. Irrigation Is pormtesnblo at all hours until further notice.
