versy between "the commission and tho
railroads that have, grown out of the
now treight tariff order by tho com
mission on shipments of luiriber from
points in tho Willamette valley to San
f rancisco and Bay points.
It is jikely that the commission will
also hear complaints from the trans

new ruling on Oriental tariffs, at its
San Francisco meeting, which will bo
one of the most important sessjons of
tno year.
j. no government omciais here pro

lumber rate controversy is to be con
sidered.
The commission has been subpoena-
ea to answer in .Federal Judge Alor-

should not be issued restraining the
enforcement of the new lumber rates,
The officials of tho Pacific Mail com
pany are preparing to submit their ob
jections to the late ruling of the com
mission regarding the publication of
overland tarilfs on Oriental shinments,
The new rule reouires the nublication
of overland tariffs and the steamship
people say they would be forced to go
out of business because competition on
the Pacific ocean forces them to give
tne Oriental shipper a lower rate than
they give the American shipper. A
strong protest is to be made.

The fire area is about 30 miles long

is still burning in many places at the
outskirts, but Michel' is safe, except in
the case of high winds, and may be
even then. Hosmer is quite safe and
Coal Creek may be said to be almost
certainly safe.
The loss of the Crows Nest Pass
company, owning mines at Coal Creek
and Fernie and Michel, will be $200,
000, and the Canadian Pacific railway
will lose $200,000. The Great North
em railway will lose about $250,000,
and the lumber company not less than
$1,000,000. The loss of timber to the
Crows Nest Pass Coal company will
not be less than $1,000,000. The loss
to the city of Fernie will be not less
than $2,000,000.

Great Western Makes Slashing Re

unicago, Aug. 7. unanges in gram
ratesJ which may have a far-reaching
effect upon thetmovement of the com
ing crops have been announced by the
Chicago & Great Western railroad.
That line has filed tariffs putting
equalized rates into effect between
Omaha and St. Paul on grain coming
from west of the Missouri river. The
new rates vary between 8 and 10 cents,
the former, charges having been 11 and
lz cents.
The new rates apply to all territory
on the Missouri Pacific and Burlington
systems, where the through rates are
less than the sum of the local rates in
and out of Omaha. The Great West
ern says that in all such cases it will
lake the haul East for what is left tf
the 'rate.
Officials of other roads assert that a
general grain-rate war may result.
Bolster Up Hop Prices.
Sacramento, Cal., Aug. 7. There is
a rumor to the effect that the hop
growers and dealers in this ' and Yolo
counties will hold a meeting in this

market, which
it is said is now suffering from over
production. The movement which is
said to be under way contemplates
bringing the growers and dealers of
the entire Pacific coast into line, with
a view to letting a portion, of this
year's crop, possibly 20 to 25 per cent,
go unpicked.

North Powdot Company Has Prior
Right Over Farmers.
Baker City That tho ranchers
some portions of tho North Powder
country nre to suffer tho loss of water
at this important timo of the year, is
evident if tho order goes into effect
that was made by tho North Powder
M. & M. company, which owns and
operates tho flouring mill at that sta
tion.
Tho company has prior water rights
but in the past has had a surplus of
water. It was decided to divido tho
water with ranchers who would put
land in cultivation, tho division
continue until any timo it was found
necessary to have tho whole supply for
milling purposes, Crops have been
planted and the desert soil responded
admirably to tho tiller's efforts.
Now, however, the water supply
short, and tho milling company was
forced to order all water belonging to
tnolr water right to be turned into the
canal that feeds the mill supply.
uno hardship that will be worked on
those who have spent their time and
work in cultivating lands that were
watered by the mijl's surplus will
probably be hard. According to the
opinion of many, however, there was
nothing else for the mill to do in order
to protect its business.
GOOD ROADS MEET.
Every County in Stata Will be Repre
sented This Year.
Portland Nearly every county in
Oregon will be represented at the good
roads conference to be held in Port
land, August 11. Among the most
distant will be Lake county, which
will send delegate's to counsel with the
men from Eastern and Western Oregon
on the best remedies for existing road
conditions.
County Judge B. Daly, of Lakeview,
ha3 written to the Portland Commer
cial club, assuring the management
that his county will bo represented
lie said:
"Wo have not been saying much, but
we have been up and doing until we
now have 300 miles of as good road3 in
Lake county as can. be found in any
county in Oregon. Lake county, with
its 5,000 acres of land to every voter,
has already a per capita income of over
$250 per man from the livestock in
dustry alone. When we get railroad
facilities to ship to the markets the
splendid products of our orchards
farms, mines and forests, then watch
Lake county grow."
big Hay Crop in Tillamook
Tillamook The hay harvest will be
completed this week, with the excep
tion of oat hay. The weather has
been fine the past two weeks for hay
making, but previous to that the heavy
fogs at night made curing somewhat
Blow. Another bumper hay crop is in
the barns, and the large dairy herds in
Tillamook county are well provided for
for the next winter, and as the mead
ows are green and will remain so all
summer with abundnace of green pas
ture, the cheese factories are receiving
much larger amount of milk than in
previous years.

Smut Eats Up Machines.
Pendleton Smut has caused the de
struction of two threshing machines in
Umatilla county during the past week,
and another was burned, but the origin
of the nre in the third instance is un
certain. Those who lost machines are
saac Christopher, Frank Brotherton
and J. Hudeman. The Christopher and
Hudeman machines were blown up by
the explosion of smut dust, a fire fol
lowing in each instance. The other
machine burned while being moved
from one field to another.
Hop Crop Worth Picking.
Salem Salem hopmen do not agree
with Joseph Harris that the hop crop
will be larger than the demand and
that the crop will not all be picked
Dealers interviewed estimate the crop
at from 90,000 to 120,000 bales, and
indicate their belief that there will bo
few, if any, growers who will not pick
their hops. The dealers agree that the
crop will be good if the weather contm
ues favorable. No one will venture an
estimate as to price.
Eugene Company to Irrigate.
Eugene The Uingham Land com
pany of this city intends to irrigate
300 acres of farming land which it
owns in the McKenzie valley about 20
miles east of Eugene. The company
has filed notice of appropriation with
the county clerk of 200 miners' inches
of the waters of Forest creek for irri
gation and power purposes. The ditch
to convey the water to the land will bo
four feet wide at the bottom and three
feet deep.
Gobbling Up n7w Wheat.,
Pendleton Wheat has advanced an
other two cents in the Pendleton mark

being made on a basis of 75 cents, and
it is not recalled when tho prices were
so good and so much wheat changing
hands so early in tho season.

as they did last season. In tho other
apple sections of tho state tho condi
tions aro reported as good or a little
better than thoy were last seasop
though it is known that somo varie
ties. Baldwins especially, will run
lighter than last year in tho Willnm
ette valley, and it is also said the val
ley Ncwtowns and Spitzenbergs will
not produce the J crop they did a year
ago. Prices that will bo realized on
shipping stock will be governed by
conditions in tho Eastern states, where
the yields aro reported to bo compara'
tively light.

Travelers' Protective association, hav
ing tho matter in hand, that if the
traveling men would withdraw their

sion 2,000-mile books would be immc
diatcly issued, good on all the Harri
