The Oregon commissioners declined to saj ly at tnis time wneiner or not iney would ask the next legislative aaseni bly for aa appropriation for carrying on a work similar to mai atiempiea 07 the Washington commission. Oswald West of the Oregon commis sion expressed the 'belief that the Washington railroad valuations will be of value to them In determining the market value of numerous branch lines In Oregon. The construction of the O. R. & N. system in Waahlngton is simi lar to the construction of that road In eastern Oregon, and construction cost of the former can be Justly applied to the latter. J . . , , ' . . Tne Washington commission Is to use Its valuations for determining whether or not the rates in use are giving tho railroads 'a fair return upon the value of their property. If general reduc tion is ordered In rates In Washington, the Oregon commissioners believe that the Justness of rates in Oregon can be determined, by comparison. "A reduction in Washington railroad rates will result in similar benefits to Oregon, or vice versa," said Mr.' West. This has already been proved by the reduction in distance tariffs In Oregon that followed such a reduction In Wash ington." - LARGE CROWD AT ST.

No more water? mains will be-laid outside the .present city, boundaries, according to a decision of tbe water board yesterday, r rather by an in decision, because the vote to estab lish mains outside the city -was s tie and Mayor Lane declared the mo tion lost. Mayor Lane refused to vote'on the motion, declaring that it was unnecessary, inasmuch as the motion had failed to carry. The action was taken because of a petition from two property owners living just east of the city asking that they be -granted extensions from the city's water system. The ; peti tioners showed that residents sur rounding them were supplied . from the main and asked that they be al lowed the same privileges. The main runs through one of the peti tioner's property and several of the members -of the board thought him entitled to the use of city water. Three votes were necessary to carry the motion, but only two were forth coming. Mayor Lane teld the members that It the. motion was put,., throwing the proposition wide open and granting ex- .tensions to everybody who applied, he would be willing to vote for It; but. in asmuch as It was a special privilege, he would not listen to It.

Miller, general freight agent of the Harriman lines in the. northwest, will leave for Lakovtew to make an examination of the traffln producing capabilities of the southern Oregon region east of the Cascades.

The Oregon Eastern haa com pleted permanent locations for three lines converging from Lakevlew, to the west, the northwest and the northeast, and Is now running a Una from Lake view south to the Pitt river and thence to Anderson, a main Una station six miles south or Redding. Mr. Miller's trip to Lake county means. It. is said, that the Southern Pa cific will this - year begin construction of a railroad to tap the Lake and Har ney county regions at Lakevlew, and an effort will be made to reach that point ahead of the Nevada, California &. Ore- ?on, a line now being built northward rom Madeline, supposedly by the West ern Pacific. It Is realized by railroad traffic men that the road which first reaches Lake view will reap the reward of a large traffic which already centers there from a productive country covering, a radius of 100 miles to the north, east and west. It Is estimated by the railroad people ttiat this trafflo will be more than dou bled within the next two years as a result of the opening and sale of the old - Oregon"- Military Road land grant which embraces 300,000 acres of that region. . 1 BLANCHE!
