PERSONAL MENTION. : t SMALL RATE WAR ON. Western Roads Enter a Spirited Race for Canned Corn Trade. What may develop into a spirited rate war between tlio Northern Pa cific nnd the O. K, & N. has been inaugurated. Last year the Northern Pacific put In force a rate of $1.10 tier hundred pounds, on canned corn, be tween Chicago, .Mississippi and .Mis souri river points, and Spokane, from October lii to December 1. The old rate was restored after that date. To retaliate, the Union Pacific made a rate of 75 cents per hundred from Omaha to Portland. The Northern could not meet this rate and now Portland jobbers are invading the Spokane territory, with corn shipped at a lower rate than the Northern Pacific or Groat Northern have yet made. These roads both say they will meet the rate and make it good to Tacoma and Seattle. In case they do, the O. It. & N. will bo compelled to make a further reduction or lose its Spokane and Lewlston shipments. Lowiston alone, consumes three car loads of canned corn, annually and about 75 cars per year are required to furnish the Inland Empire. Most of the product used in this section is put up in small Iowa towns and is handled by Omaha commission merchants. Cavalry Horse Delivery.

T TALLMAN & GO, Lending nniKfjists J Reports From Eastern Oregon Points All Say That Water and Grass Abound. Stockmen who have recently visit ed tho various range sections of Eastern Oregon, say that the supply of water and grass In the high moun tains is better, if possible, than usual, in most every locality. The water supply of the Grant county districts is excellent, on ac count of tho heavy snow fall last win ter. In Union county, where the water is usually very low at this time of the year, the streams are all run ning yet, sufficient for stock pur poses. The Uliie mountain section of Uma tilla county is being fenced up more and more every year, hut all the out side range thero Is very good. Much of the timber land that has been cleared off has become coated over with a good quality of grass and the range area susceptibly Increases as tho timber supply decreases. One of the most interesting devel opments in tho mountain districts of lato years, is the gradual heeding of largo tracts of mountain uplands to timothy, by the chance scattering of seed by teamsters and animals. On every moist flat, no matter what the altitude, timothy grows luxuriantly, and In many places could be cut with a mowing machine. etery Inspecting Umatilla County. It.
