the roaring, tumultuous Fraser river,
where It still Beems as substantial, as
smooth and as well built as It woij
40 years ago, when It was pressed by
the eager feet of the miners bound
for the new Eldorado, the Cariboo
district.
Just beyond Spustzum, after dashing
and out of the succession of rock cuts
and tunnels, the train passes Hell
Gate, The river seeths and whirls
and dashes Itself to spray against the
rocky cliffs whlhc confine It. It
comes down to a fifth of Its usual
width and seems as though the btoad
river had been turned upon edge to
force Its way through the knife blade
cut in the rocky roll. All along the
Frarer canyon as well as on the crys
tal clear Thompson river are the
flimsy stick and skin structures of the
Indians on the rocks. On all sides
you see what looks like an Immense
tennis racket five feet wide by 10 or
12 feet long with slant netting of
cords stretched across rtie peeled wil
low frame. The Indians are busy
catching salmon with these crude dip
nets. Lining the river bank at In
tervals for miles are crude frame
structures on which the split salmon
arc being dried.
After leaving the. Fraser river the
train enters a wonderfully picturesque
region called the Thompson river
canon. It is Impossible to keep track
of the turnings and twisting of the
train. It almost seems at times as
though the cow-catcher could shake
bands with the rear platform. The
river flowing hundreds of feet below

IDAHO RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS RAISED
From the Poise Statesman Is taken
the following review of the work of
the Idaho State board of equalization
In relation to the railroads of the
state:
The state board of equalization has
gone over the railroad question care
fully and although the railroads' rcp
reesntallves have appeared for the
purpose of petitioning the board not
to roise the rates from those of last
year, the board has seen fit to raise
the rates In the cases of those roads
given in the above table.
The board has now' carefully gone
over all the reports of railroads In
Idaho, but In several cases no decis
ions have yet been reached. In the
casep of most of the smnll roads and
branch lines it has been decided not
to Increase the rates from those of
last year as far as mileage rates are
concerned. On the following lists of
roads there will be no change In the
rates per mile. Tho mileage for 1906
and the rate for 1905, which will pre
vail this year, are -given for each
roid:

ports. The cultivation of non-Irrigated
and non-lrrlgable lands In Utah, as
demonstrated by the state experi
mental stations, received an investi
gation this week by C. S. Schofleld of
the national bureau of plant Industry,
operated under the United States de
partment of agriculture, says the Salt
Lake Telegram.
Upon returning from the trip
which he made to the Sevier county
farm near Plateau and the farm fin
San Juan county near Montlccllo, Mr.
Schofleld praised the work which the
state has done, and also explained
that while results have been satisfac
tory to a certain degree he cautioned
the public against over-enthusiasm
regarding the theory f "dry farm
ing." He explained that there is a ten
dency to overestimate the possibility
of tilling these lards, which possibili
ty has been suggested by the excessive
rainfall during recent years, but
which cannot be depended on, accord
Ing to records as far back as the same
extend regarding the precipitation in
the arid regions.
It is the sheerest nonsense," fur
ther said Mr. Schofleld, "to assume
that the cultivation of land pre
vlously barren and unproductive will
bring about a change in meteorolog
leal conditions to the extent of in
creasing the precipitation average an
nually."
"The state of Utah is proving the
merits of dry farming. It Is the pio
neer in the matter of experimental
farms, and is doing excellent work
Utah has six of these farms, and
have been visiting two of them In the
southern part of the commonwealth
In company with Dr. Yoder, in charge
of the station at Logan. I find that
great progress has been mnde in
working out methods of growing crops
profitably on the lands that have here
to fore been regarded as practically
useless for agriculture. I
"It is true that while during the
past three years these lands have had
rather more than their average
amount of rainfall, there Is reasona
ble hope that, with the 6est methods
of tillage that are now being worked
out, these lands may be made to yield
profitable crops at least supplemen
tal to the small irrigated areas that
occur everywhere throughout the
state,'
Then Mr. Schofleld added the w;
arn
, Joyed recurring with anv decree of
annual regularity.
He will go next to Nevada, where
similar observations will be made of
the experimental farming projects

Controversy "between County Fru't

men and the growers over an Inter
pretation of the fruit inspection laws
brought the state horticultural com
missioner, W. A. Huntly, to Walla
Walla this morning to straighten out
the tangle, says the Walla Walla
Statesman.
"Matters reached a point where
something had to be done and I Bent
for Commissioner Huntly to come to
Walla Walla and meet with the grow
ers, produce men and representatives
of gorcery houses," said Inspector Rit
this morning.
"The proper inspection of fruit in
Walla Walla is a matter of vital im
portance and unless It is done in ac
cordance with ?he existing laws I do
not feel like continuing the work as
fruit inspector. Infected fruit has got
to be weeded out In Walla Walla
county If we ever expect td grow mar
ketable fruit and the sooner present
conditions areN changed the better It
will be for the growers as well as the
houses engaged in the business."
