Omaha, Neb., April 18. By per
mission of the Interstate Commis
sion, the Union Pacific has prepared
a tariff which is expected to over
come the result of a previous deci
sion which had the efTect of closing
the Portland gateway. The Northern
Pacific and Great Northern had not
concurred In previous tariffs and the
commission ruled that tickets sold
under tho rates so published were il
legal. The Union Pacific is now per
mitted to name Portland aa the des-
tination, but if the traveler signifies

In other words, the old method is
resumed of drawing exchange orders
n Portland to points in Washington.
The additional charge is absorbed by
the Harriman lines and they again
fnjoy the benefit of the long haul.
It is said that the whole question,
of authorized routes to the Pacific
Coast is not any more satisfactory !
now to the Northern Pacific than it
is to the Harriman system, and that
it is equally anxious to see the entire
subject of gateways reconsidered.
Aid to Western Woolgrowers.
Omaha, Neb., April 16. Through
the efforts of the woolgrowers of
the West and Northwest, a atorage-In-translt
rate has been made by the
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Bur
lington and Chicago & Northwestern
railroads, which will permit wool to
stop for storage at Omaha. It may
be baled here and shipped at the con
venience of buyers and growers. The
advantage to the woolgrowers is that
of not being forced to sell their clip
at any price the eastern buyers may
offer.
Three storage warehouses will be
built here at once, with a capacity of
50,000,000 pounds. These storage
facilities will be available to wool-i
growers who may put their clip in a
warehouse and use the receipts as

San Diego, April 16. A parade of

the American battleship fleet-5000.
flghtlng men fresh from a cruise of
more than 13,000 miles marked
the ceremonies of official welcome to
the State of California. Sixty-four
companies of sailormen, in their togs
of the seii, with wide flaring trousers
reefed down In canvas leggings, and
16 companies of marines, seldierly
and straight, formed this most no
table of the navy's land displays. The
landing party, equipped as infantry,
sinned with Krags, in light marching
ordpr. and with canteens filled,
equalled an army corps.
The procession the men of the
aavy formed was more than two
miles long. Thpy marched from the

Roosevelt's Policy Wisest
Paris, April 16. The Temps today
expressed enthusiastic approval of
President Roosevelt's reasoning in
favor of providing additional ships
for the American navy,
esneciallv
the affirmation that the United States
would lose rank as a great power, '
not only if she was feeble, but IT
she had the reputation of being
feeble. "France should meditate on
this," the paper says.
If America wishes to avoid wrnr
with Japan, she must have, a fleet
permanent in the Pacific. The Am
erican people are at present confused
as to the proper course to pursue,
but President Roosevelt's naval pol
icy suggests a luminous and wise
path which the country sooner or
later will follow.
Find Two More Bodies.
Boston, April 16. The rerdalns of
two persons, n iran and a woman,
were found today In the ruins of
Sunday's fire at Chelsea, and to
night a human skull was found in
the cellar of No. 62 Chester avenue.
The bodies of three unknown persons
had been recovered previously ana
the death list is now six. but the
authorities expect to find other
bodies in the ruins. Early today the ,
liolire arrested Dan'el Ross, who was
waving lighted tapers in a lumber
yard, and he was hld on the charge
of attempted incendiarism.

On an objection by Williams, Hob

ing the building of more ships.
The message was a brief but vigor
ous contention for the rapid devel

up as an example of the "peace at

tain as having the naval policy to be
emulated. It was contended that the

the shPs had been in sight
and their coming had been watched
with wonder by the waiting throngs.

the Connecticut type, displacing
more than 16,000 tons of water, been

occasion of their first visit Is to be
made a memorable event wherever
they touch a port or cruise close
enough to the shore to be seen by
the cities and resorts that skirt the
coast.
The splendid condition of the
ships was manifest In every way.
Outwardly they were the same spark

of a powerful fighting force that
pointed their way out of Hampton
Roads on a home coast 3,000 miles
away, with the President showing
the way on his cruiser yacht, the
Mayflower. Interaally, the ships'
were in better condition than when
they started, engines working with
the smooth thrust and throw of per
fect bearings and careful handling
and boilers making steam with less
consumption of coal because of the
increased efficiency in the firing
rooms. The wash of the waves
along the waterline displayed from
two to three feet of red armor belts
and showed but comparatively little
sea growth, despite the long stay in
temperate and tropical waters.

President Opposes Giving Valuable

Suggests Lines of Policy to Prevent
Monopoly of the Nation's Natural
Wealtl 3rants Must Have Limit
and Payment Be Required Besides
Actual Use.
Washington, April 14. In a spe
cial message today vetoing a dam
bill, President Roosevelt warned con-
gress that there are pending in this
session bills which propose to give
away without price stream rights
capable of developing 1,300,000
horse-power, whose production would
cost annually 25,000,000 tons of
coal; urging in vigorous terms the
establishment of a policy such as the
filibustering minority in the house
demands, which would safeguard the
granting of bridge and dam privi
leges and require the grantees to pay
for them; and definitely announcing
a future policy on his part with re
gard to prompt utilization of con
struction privileges by refusing his
signature to a bill that gives an ad
ditional three years to the Rainy
River Improvement Company within
which to build a dam in the Rainy
River.
Rainy river Is the oulet of Rainy
lake, and forms part of the boundary
between Minnesota and Canada. It
discharges into Lake of the Woods,
is about 100 miles long and is navi
gable. "I do not believe," says the Pres
ident, "that natural resources should
be granted and held In undeveloped
condition, either for speculative or
other reasons. So far as I am aware,
there are no assurances that the
grantees (in this case) are in any
better condition promptly and prop
erly to utilize this opportunity than
they were at the time of the original
act granting the privilege ten years
ago."
