At this la Walla. ineetir.g will be present some of thd Traverse the Mountains, bf-st informed men on the matter of, jj,e three trans-mountain roads good road building that can be ob-; above indicated will be connected tained in the country. Just eat of the Cascades by a road Mr. Joseph M.

Every person interested in the de vh.prnent of the state of Washington 3hould be a hearty supporter of this plan and the purpose of the meeting will be to develop a plan by which every candidate for the legislature will be placed on record as for or against the proposed system of roads which briefly stated is as follows: Seattle-Spokane road will be built by the extension eastward and west ward of what is known as the Sno 'jualmie pass road, or state road No. 7. Network to Cover the State. The extension eastward and west ward of State Road No. 5. This road will pass Cowlitz pass to Yakima and thence to Pullman. Westward it will pass through Chehalls and thence to South Bend.

The main north and south high way will begin at Blaine, on the north and from there skirt the eastern shores of the sound, passing through Eelllngham. Everett. Seattle and Ta ccma. From Tacoma it will run southerly by the most practical route to Vancouver. This road will also In terest the three principal transmoun taln roads at Seattle, Tacoma, Chcha. lis and Vancouver. Thus the most populous sections of the stats will be connected by main arteries along which travel will be' easy and rapid. The roads will be built along the lines of greatest needs and on the routes most feasible and practicable. There will be no deflections along difficult routes, no cutting over high hills and otherwise undesirable routes because such and such a person with a pull will be benefited thereby. One of the most significant features of the whole scheme Is that the roads are to be constructed without any In crease of taxation. "And was ehe an old maid?" "Well, almost the same thing;. She never had but one husband." N O I H'l I Y ESTE II N CI TS THE CRAZING CHARGES Si-cretary Walker of the .National Wool (Growers' association has Just received word tha't the charge for grazing sheep in transit at all Chi cago & Northwestern f.oding stations this side of Chicago has been reduced to o:ie cent per head, says the Chey enne Tribune. The price charged heretofore has been one and one-half cent.", and the concession means a saving of money to western sheep owners shipping to eastern markets. For some time the National asso ciation has been urging the manage ment of the various feeding stations to reduce the charge for grazing sheep In transit from one and one-half to one cent per head. Several stations have been maintained for some time at the latter rate, and since July Scretary Walker has been working on the matter. The reduction made by the Chicago & Northwestern is regarded as the en tering wedge for a general reduction at all feeding stations on lines enter ing Chicago and Omaha, and it Is thought the other roads will not be long In following suit. The Northwestern reduction means a saving of hundreds of dollars to the sheepmen of central and northeast ern Wyoming, through which the railroad runs, and the general reduc tion on other roads, expected soon, will mean thousands of dollars an nually to shippers of sheep. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 20. Commis sioners on uniform laws, appointed by the governors of the several states, met hero today for what promises to be an Important session. Legislative reforms of the greatest Interest will be discussed and recommendations made which may have a far-reaching effect. One of the most notable matters before tho commission Is the demand of the commercial Interests of the country for a uniform bill of lading form. It is alleged by the representatives of banks and commercial bodies that gross frauds are perpetrated un der the present system and that these have made bills of lading an unsafe Instrument of credit. Tho commis sion is urged to draft an uniform bill to be brought to the attention of con gress at the next session. Want Uniform Laws. The decision of the commercial bodies to appeal to the commission on uniform laws was the result of the announcement of the interstate commerce commission that it had not sufficient authority to order the railroads to revise their methods of issuing bills of lading to meet the. objections which the commercial bodies have raised against the instru ments in their present form. It is the present plan to have the new bill which Is expected to be drafted by the commissioners on uni form laws Introduced at tho next ses sion of congress. A derision of the Interstate com mercy commission announced nv nt ly contained rccommendtaions em bodied in the demands nf the ship pers, but the commission derided that it larked the power to enforce these recommendations. It was in view of this, and the be lief that the railroads would not ac cept the recommendations of the commission, that the plan of appear ing before the commission was for mulated. Volume of Business Immense. The tremendous volume of business transacted on bills of lading is appat ent fronf figures of the year U"7, which show that goods valued at J 17.000.ono were shipped on the bills In that year alone. Tho commercial Interests have been trying for the last three years to com pel the carriers to Issue two separate bills of lading forms In order to dif ferentiate between the ordinary re ceipt and tho more important "order" bill, which is used as n basis of .cred it In trie transportation of the coun try's crops, particularly the cotton and grain crops of the south and west and manufactured products. The shippers have demanded nlso that the rallro.jds compel the surren der of the Instrument upon delivery of tho property to the consignee, sev "Oregon Builders" Are you doing what you can to populate your State?

As the railroads have fought the proposed changes from the first, rep resentatives of the commercial bodies say they do not expect the recommen dations of tho interstate commerce commission to change the situation at all. They believe, however, that what ever action Is taken by the commis sioners on uniform state laws will be approved by congress, as the com missioners consist of representatives from the several states appointed by their respective governors Attention.
