One of the latest moves in the in-1 Montesano to cohnect with the state
terests of good roads throughout the road tearing to Iloquiam and north
state of Washington is thu announce- j ward from there to Quinlault lake,
ment of a meeting to he held In Che- Vancouver to Walla Walla. A sec
halis, Saturday, August 22, when 1 tion of this road Is now known as
plans will be discussed looking to the. the Columbia river road and will run
building of flee trans-state public ' eastward through Goldendale to Wal
highways, says a Seattle item. 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

Mr. Joseph M. Snow, state highway j runnjng north and south from Tream
commlsioner, will be present and out-jaway on the Snoqualmie pass road to
line the system of five state trunk j Ellensburg and North Yakima, on the
roads that will be presented to the Cowlitz road, and thence south along
next legislature for consideration.
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.

Network to Cover the State.
The extension eastward and west

will pass Cowlitz pass to Yakima and
thence to Pullman. Westward it will

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.

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
