KLAMATH FALLS, Or., July S3, landowners In the upper section of the Klamath government Irrigation project have taken steps to aunul contracts made with the government lor water to be supplied on comple tion of the canal aystem.

MI ST HELP I'.MOAU CAIW. j WASHINGTON, D. C, July 27. The Interstate commerce commission today announced Its decision in the case of the Wholesale Fruit and Pro duce association against the Atchi son, Topeka ft Santa Fe Railway company and others. The complaint In thta case alleged that previous to January 1, 1908, the defendants, loaded and unloaded at tnelr own expense In Chicago car loads of fruit and vegetables when shipped In packages, but that since then they have compelled shippers to hear the expense ot such loading and unloading, whereby members of com plainant association have been sub jected to unreasonable rates and an unjust burden. The comnilsslnn held that where carload shipments are to a consignee who Is the owner nf the entire con tents of the car, and where, therefore delivery Is made upon the team tracks of the defendant, they should furnish in the future, as tey have in the past, the necessary help to brlBg the packages to the ca door, and there make delivery to the consignee, and thut the present rule of defendants which requires consignees to take these packages InsHe the car is unreasonable. As to consolidated railroads, the carrier discharges l's full duty If It places such a carload upon Its team tracks, and brings Uie packages to the car door for delivery. It Is under no obligation to furnish a place for the assorting of these packages and making delivery to the different in- uivlduals to whom the carload Is ad dressed; but In case It performs this ddltlon service. I cent per hundred pounds Is a reasonable charge for such service. The commission further declares that - cannot be stated as matter of law that it Is the absolute duty of carriers to u.oad carloads of pack age freight, nor that this duty rests upon the shipper, as there Is no hard and fast rule of law upon the sub ject. It was further held that rules or regulations prescribing who shall load and unload cas of freight are rules or regulations affecting rates. and are, therefore, subject to the irontrol ot the commission.

The agricultural department, through its bureau of soils, has as signed one 1 party to study and prepare maps of the soils of the Klamatb valleys.
