PORTLAND MARKETS. IRRIGATION CONGRESS. Jacksonville Post > Hot Debate Expected on Forest Re serve Policy. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITYDF JACKSONVILLE, OREGON » Albuquerque, N. M.. Sept. 30.—The proceedings of the opening session oi he 16th National Irrigation Congress vhich convened in Convention Hall, in his city, at 10:30 yesterday, were im pressive, and 1,500 delegates and 2,500 pectators, who crowded the galleries •ere moved to repeated demonstra tions. It is evident that this cong.es9 is to ,ive the major portion of its time to liscussion of the reclamation of public and and conservation of natural re sources, and it is likely these discus dons may lead to differences of opinion u phases of the government policies, »articularly the forestry policy. D. C. Jeaman, of Denver, Colo., will address he convention today on “Forestry 4ervire,’’ and it is intimated that such riticism of the service as may be in lulged in will come at that time. The ivestock interests are well represented. m<l their desires as to the resolutions Tging government regulation of the public domain and national forests may »recipitate sharp discussion. A movement has appeared, backed by i number of well known men, to make he irrigation congress a permanent forking organization, with headquar ers and a secretary, whose duty would o the collection of data and informa ion for the use of the congress in fur tiering needed legislation and arous ing public interest in reclamation ami onservation work to be undertaken. Che movement is finding favor among he delegates. A notable feature of the congress is lie absence of men prominent or active n political affairs, and the presence of in unusual number of men who are ac ive workers in the practical fields of •eclamation, and who make up a list of peakers of exceptional strength. The usual expositipn, for which congress ap propriated $30,000, and. which has ■rought together the finest display of rrigated products ever assembled in the ’nited States, was formally opened •osterday by Governor Curry of New Mexico, following a parade of the roops of the Department of the Colo ado, ordered here for the exposition, ¡eneral Bell, chief of staff, and Briga Iler General Thomas, commanding the Jepartment of the Colorado, took part n the parade. A vigorous fight is under way be i ween Pueblo, Colo., and Spokane, Wash., for the next session of the con gress. INCREASE FREIGHT RATES. Railroads to Make Advance Roth Ways First of Year. Chicago, Sept. 30__ «January 1 the ranscontinental railroads hope to be ible to increase the freight rates on •lore than 80 commodities west-bound md on about 20 commodities east-bound etween all eastern points and the Pa •ific coast. Conferences are being held frequently vitli a view to roactfhig an agreement •s to what commodity rates should be ncreased and # what should remain at »resent rates. Yesterday traffic men idinitted that all of the commodities were being gone over with a view to naking increases where possible and •quitable. It is stated that all of the •ommodities on the list, which include a Himber of large consumption and large onnage, have borne ridiculously low ’reight rates for years. This fact, it is naintained, is due to old competition. whicl1 was wont to cut a rate in order o get business irrespective of whether »r not it paid. The proposed increases, if they be- •ome effective, will be from every terri orv east of the Missouri river to the I ’acific coast and will average between 1 » and 8 per cent above the present ates. It is hoped that most of the in •reases can be agreed upon, and it is »xperted that the railroads will be abb« o make them effective January 1, 19(19.
